- Kikyo: Inuyasha, what do you think of me? Do I seem ordinary?
- Inuyasha: Huh? Where are you going with this?
- Kikyo: I must never reveal my weaknesses to anyone. I must never waver. If I did, a demon would get the better of me. Inside, I am an ordinary woman, yet I cannot reveal myself as such. In many ways we are similar, both outsiders. That is why I was unable to kill you.
- Inuyasha: Hmm! Quit whining. We've all got our cross to bear.
- [Inuyasha starts to walk away, but turns to see Kikyo smiling gently at him]
- Inuyasha: Hmm? Huh?
- Kikyo: You're right. I shouldn't complain.
- Inuyasha: When I saw Kikyo's sad and lonely expression, I felt guilty, for the very first time in my life. After that, I couldn't get her out of my mind. She was always by my side... And I... by hers.
