| Quotes | Why protect her? Why let her go? Why love her? —Damn it! She’s just a Jewel detector! —By the way, Inuyasha has changed. His face had a softness. Back then, he trusted no one…his eyes were cold. Kagome is a strange child. She has been able to slowly heal Inuyasha's heart. That girl again… She's the one who changed him. (thinking) If I had lived, I would have been the one to heal his heart. —I wish Kikyo would just disappear! (pauses) Have… Have I turned into such a horrible woman? —This type of girl… is one that Naraku dislikes. —I’m only good at outdoor cooking. —
But the food in the restaurant is still the best. — |
