Episode 87
This episode was about Kikyou. Well, it began when Inuyasha group do a journey like usual and Kagome asked them to take a rest for a while suddenly. Inuyasha was angry and told her to continue, but then Kagome said that her butt was tired ^^ ( ‘cause she always rides a bicycle, right?? ), so then Inuyasha agreed to take a rest in a house.
Kikyou walked around to get any information about Naraku’s presence. then she stopped at one village, the villagers said to her that they were attacked by a youkai from a lake lately and they asked her to check it. Well, Kikyou did it ( and hope that the youkai is Naraku ), and when she saw the youkai in the lake, the youkai was a very big turtle. Kikyou shot it with her arrow, but the arrow was reflected because the turtle protected itself with its scull, so Kikyou turned back and left it. At the same time, the turtle attacked her from behind suddenly, but Kikyou pulled out her arrow and shot it with a very high speed! And pow! The turtle become pieces!! That was so cool! ^^.
After that, Kikyou left the village, but suddenly, she was stopped by an old man. The man threaten her to give her money ( he’s a thief ), but Kikyou said that she has carried no money. The old man didn’t believe her, so Kikyou told him to check her, but then the old man collapsed. Kikyou realized that the old man has an ill and supposed to die soon, but because he brought a shikon shard with him, so he was still alive.
Kikyou brought the old man to a house. She took care of him and gave him medicine. The man confused and asked her why she did such a thing like that, but she answered that they were on conversation at all. Then the man told her that he searched a nice place to rest. He told her that when he was evil when he was young. He was a thief, has burned and killed so many villages. He was with a guy named Onigumo. Kikyou was surprised heard that, she never expected that. Then the old man told that he and Onigumo was planning to attack Kaede’s village together and grabbed the shikon no tama. But Onigumo said that shikon no tama was protected by a miko named Kikyou, and she was strong, so Onigumo told him to kill her first, and he agreed.
The man was ready to kill Kikyou at a morning. He stood in up of a cliff and saw Kikyou was walking alone at the down of the cliff. Then he shot her with arrow, but before the arrow touch her, Inuyasha grabbed it and he climbed up the cliff toward him. Inuyasha was angry ‘cause he tried to take Kikyou’s life ( wow, that was so gentle and funny ^^ ), the man attacked him with his sword, but the sword was broken by Inuyasha and it stabbed one of his eyes. Inuyasha wanted to kill him, but then he heard Kikyou called him, so he cancelled and went to Kikyou. She said to Inuyasha not to do any brutal in front of her, then she walked and Inuyasha followed her.
The man went back to his thief group and Onigumo, then he realized that Onigumo and the others have betrayed him. it was Onigumo’s plan to kill him, so he could become a thiefs leader. The man was so mad, so he went to Onigumo’s place and burnt it all to the ground. Onigumo was still alive even though he got a very bad injuries, and then the man threw Onigumo to Kikyou’s village. That was all his story.
The old man said to Kikyou that he found a shikon shard from a youkai which makes him can live longer from his ill. But then suddenly a youkai came and attacked them to get the shikon shard. The youkai got Kikyou before she could bring her bow and arrow, so Kikyou shouted to the old man to give her arrow, but the youkai got the old man too, so he used the shikon shard to the arrow and hurt the youkai, then Kikyou used her ‘hananoya’ to kill the youkai. The old man was surprised saw that ’ hananoya ’
Kikyou gave back the shikon shard to him, but he said that he didn’t need it anymore, but he watned Kikyou to do something for him. he cut his hair then told Kikyou to brought it to a place that could save a soul from an evil man like him, so he would be saved. Kikyou agreed, and took his hair. Then before die, the man asked Kikyou’s name. After he knew that the girl was Kikyou, he was very surprised and said ‘how ironic’ , then he died.
After that, Kikyou traveled to many places to search the place, and there was someone told her that the place was in Hakurei Mountain. So then Kikyou planned to go there.
At the other place, Inuyasha group were sleeping, but Kagome still hasn’t slept yet. Inuyasha asked her why, then he realized that Kagome got a fever. But Kagome said that she was okay and she slept at Inuyasha’s shoulder ^^. Inuyasha was blushing and the others were watching them together from the back, lol ! The end!
