Cut back to reality.

Naraku: Nobody told them that they are real in these illusions. Kukuru.

Scene: Inu Yasha and Kagome's illusion. Forest. Inu Yasha and Kagome are standing there.

Inu Yasha: Kagome, is that you? I mean, is that really you?

Kagome: Inu Yasha? If you are the real one, too?

Inu Yasha: Kagome!

Kagome: Inu Yasha!

(They hug.)

Inu Yasha: Thank God. You're alright.

Kagome: I wonder what he's up to.

Inu Yasha: That's what I want to know, too. What about the crap about heart desires?

Naraku's voice: You'll know soon. Kukuru. (to Kagome) Kagome, Inu Yasha will never be interested in you. He'll always love Kikyou because she was powerful and not as weak as you are. I'll help you to get the power you desire.

(Kagome transforms into an evil miko.)

Inu Yasha: Kagome? What's wrong with her?

Naraku's voice: Look, Inu Yasha, Kagome's heart's desire is to become powerful. Now see what happens to her.

Inu Yasha: Kagome, can you hear me?

(Kagome raises bow and arrow and aims at Inu Yasha.)

Kagome: Get ready, Inu Yasha!

Inu Yasha: Kagome, come around! (He avoids her arrow and runs away. Kagome follows him.) Kagome, fight it, please! Come around! It's me, Inu Yasha! You don't need to be powerful for me! (He grabs her shoulders. She hurls him away with a shield. He hits a tree and cannot free himself. Kagome aims at him.) Kagome! DON'T!!

(Kagome shoots Inu Yasha in the heart, then comes around to see what happened.)

Kagome: Inu Yasha!! (She runs to him.) Inu Yasha, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. (She starts to cry. Suddenly Tetsusaiga gets thrown away.) Tetsusaiga…! (Inu Yasha transforms into a youkai.) Inu Yasha…! (She backs away. The arrow disappears.) Inu Yasha!

(Inu Yasha cracks him knuckles and comes closer.)

Naraku's voice: Look, Kagome, this is what Inu Yasha desires deep in his heart. Becoming a full youkai. Now see how you handle it. You mustn't kill him. Kukuru.

Kagome: Naraku, you bastard! And if I just… (She approaches Inu Yasha to kiss him. He attacks her.) Ow! Inu Yasha!

Naraku's voice: He's going to kill you, Kagome. He's completely out of mind. He doesn't recognize you. Save your own life and finish his.

Kagome: Shut up, Naraku!

Naraku: I will assist again.

Kagome: Nooo!! (She transforms back into the evil miko, grabs bow and arrow and aims at Inu Yasha. Inu Yasha attacks her. She falls to the ground, gets up again and shoots an arrow at Inu Yasha that misses him.) The next one will hit.

Inu Yasha: Exactly, filthy human! (He attacks her again.) One last time.

Kagome: I've still got my mind…! Inu Yasha, stop it! We need to stop! Aargh! Don't! Leave me, Naraku! (She shoots Inu Yasha in the heart.) NOOOO!! INU YASHA!! (She transforms back, so does Inu Yasha.) Inu Yasha!

Inu Yasha: Kagome! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!

Kagome: Of course I will if you forgive me…

Inu Yasha: Sure. Please hold on, Kagome! You mustn't die!

Kagome: You neither, Inu Yasha.

Cut to reality

Naraku: They're dying but they're not dying in hatred as they're supposed to for the illusion to become real! Damn it! This is useless!

Shippou: Oh no, Kagome! Inu Yasha! Where did they go? Eh? Oh!

(Kagome and Inu Yasha appear hugging.)

Inu Yasha: I'll go with you, Kagome. Wherever it is you will be going. Eh?! Oh!

(They let go of each other.)

Kagome: We're back. Thank God. I'm so sorry, Inu Yasha.

Inu Yasha: I have to apologize, Kagome.

Shippou: Chrm, chrm, guys?

Kagome: Oh hi, Shippou! (She tries to free him.) A little help here, Inu Yasha, please.

(Inu Yasha cracks his knuckles and smiles.)

Shippou: Are you crazy, Kagome?!

Cut to Naraku.

Naraku: But the other two will die.

Scene: Sango's illusion. Sango's village. Sango and Kohaku are standing there. Sango looks around.

Sango: Where am I, now? Kohaku? Kohaku!

Kohaku: I'm here, Aneue! Guess what. I finally got my memory back. (He's evil and controlled by Naraku.)

Sango: Kohaku! No! (She turns around to see Inu Yasha, Kagome, Miroku and Shippou all dead.) No, Kohaku, what have you done?! Ow! (She's hit by him.)

Kohaku: I can't stop it, Aneue.

Sango: Kohaku, please fight it!

Naraku's voice: You can stop it, Sango. Just take the shard out of his back. Save your own life! Be selfish for once!

Sango: Forgive me, Kohaku. (She takes the shard out of his back and throws it into lake.) I'll never let you go again, Kohaku. We'll always be together.

Cut back to Naraku.

Naraku: Damn it!

Scene: Miroku's illusion. Village. Miroku's standing there.

Miroku: All of my sons have the Kazaana. I don't want this to happen. I don't want them to share my fate.

(The kids and Sango embrace him.)

Kids: We love you, Dad!

Sango: Yes, we do.

(Suddenly the Kazaana splits.)

Miroku: The Kazaana! Noooo! (Sango and the children get sucked into the Kazaana. He seals it again.) No, it's my entire fault they're gone! I don't want to live like this any more!

Naraku's voice: Right, Miroku, finish your terrible life now.

Cut to reality. Inu Yasha and the gang are watching Miroku in his illusion.

Kagome: He's going to suicide!

Sango: We have to stop him!

Inu Yasha: We can't. He's in there and we can't get in. He has to come to his senses by himself.

Shippou: What if he won't 'cause he's so desperate and depressed?!

Inu Yasha: …

Miroku: I'll open the Kazaana one last time and get sucked into it myself. But wouldn't that be a useless death? Would they want me to follow them so early? No, I don't think so! No, you'll have to wait for me a while longer.

Cut to Naraku.

Naraku: Fools all of you.

Cut to Inu Yasha and the gang. Miroku appears.

Shippou/Sango/Kagome: Miroku!

Miroku: I'm okay and you?

Kagome: We're all fine.

Shippou: Naraku's plan failed

Inu Yasha: And he's gone again.

Sango: I wonder how he could see into our hearts what our heart's desire is. (Inu Yasha and Kagome start to leave.) Eh?!

Miroku: Where are Kagome and Inu Yasha going?

Shippou: Leave them. They have some serious talking to do.

Sango: Why that?

Miroku: What happened?

Shippou: I'm not allowed to tell you that.

Miroku: Come on, Shippou, tell us.

Shippou: Okay, but I didn't tell anything.

Sango: Of course not. Come on, spill!

Cut to Inu Yasha and Kagome.

Inu Yasha: So your heart's desire is to kill me, huh?

Kagome: No! What about you? Seems to be yours.

Inu Yasha: No, it's not. At least not to kill you.

Kagome: So what part did I play in there?

Inu Yasha: I wanted to have both. You and becoming a full youkai. Naraku mixed them up. And you?

Kagome: You're always thinking of Kikyou. I thought if I would become a miko like her...

Inu Yasha: Idiot! You're totally different and I want you to be like this! When you wished that Naraku infected you with the hatred Kikyou once has felt towards me.

Kagome: Yes, I realized that. I'm sorry.

Inu Yasha: It wasn't really you, so don't apologize.

Kagome: Was it really you?

Inu Yasha: …

Kagome: Do you still want to become a full youkai?

(Inu Yasha stormily hugs her.)

Inu Yasha: I'm sorry for what I did to you.

Kagome: It's alright. But Inu Yasha, Naraku is right. Someday you'll have to decide what you really want. Me or becoming a full youkai.

Inu Yasha: …

Kagome: Inu Yasha? Are you still with me?

Inu Yasha: I always thought becoming a full youkai would help me to better protect you but… it seems to me all I'll gain is your death. And that's not what I want! I think… I'll stop trying to become a full youkai and stay a hanyou for you. (Kagome hugs him tightly) Oh!

Kagome: Thank God! Thank you, Inu Yasha, for fulfilling my dearest heart's desire!
