- Sesshomaru: I should know the name of the one I make a pact with.
- Naraku: My apologies. Call me Naraku.
- Naraku: If I am not mistaken, you are the elder brother of Inuyasha, Lord Sesshomaru, are you not?
- Sesshomaru: What do you want? Should I know you?
- Naraku: I am someone who, like yourself, despises Inuyasha. Forgive me, but I happened to overhear your conversation just now.
- [Naraku holds up a severed arm]
- Naraku: Perhaps I could be of assistance. Might I suggest that you employ this arm?
- Jaken: Have you lost your senses? Clearly that is the arm of a human!
- Naraku: Yes... Clearly. This arm belonged to a mortal, but embedded in it is a shard of the sacred Shikon Jewel.
- Jaken: The Shikon Jewel...?
- Naraku: Should you choose to employ this arm, the Jewel shard will enable you to wield the Tetsusaiga, Inuyasha's fabled sword. The sword is known to work for the benefit of man. At present, a demon such as yourself would be unable to even touch the Tetsusaiga.
- Sesshomaru: You mentioned something about your despising Inuyasha. Tell me, do you intend to use me to exact your revenge?
- Naraku: Yes.
- Jaken: How dare you exploit my master in such a manner!
- Sesshomaru: Hmm. Sounds Interesting... I shall accept the arm from you.
- Inuyasha: Hold up there, Miroku. There's something I haven't been able to figure out about your powers.
- Miroku: Yes?
- Inuyasha: Whenever we're looking for a place to bed down, you suddenly detect an "ominous cloud" hanging over whatever seems to be the finest tavern in the area. How is that?
- Miroku: Oh. You noticed that, did you? They say, "a falsehood is sometimes the expedient path".
- Inuyasha: Huh?
- Shippo: You mean there never was any black cloud?
- Kagome Higurashi: [thinking] I was beginning to suspect that myself.
- Inuyasha: Jeez! You're shiftier than I thought!
