After Kikyō took custody of the Sacred Jewel, she dedicated her life to guarding and protecting it from the wicked humans and demons who sought it for their own selfish means. The demon slayer returned that night with his fellow slayers and entrusted her with the task of purifying the Jewel of Four Souls, much to Tsubaki's dismay. Upon returning to their village, one of the villagers revealed to Kikyō that a demon slayer had come in search of her that morning. While Kikyō was well aware of Priestess Tsubaki's curse, she was not unsettled by it because she believed she would never fall in love. When they parted ways, Tsubaki put a curse on Kikyō so that should she ever fall in love, she would inevitably die a violent death. During their travels, Kikyō and Kaede encountered Tsubaki, a woman who would later become a dark priestess, and briefly fought against demons together. As part of their training, Kikyō and Kaede wandered the countryside and slew many demons. At some point in her youth, Kikyō decided to pursue an occupational role as a priestess and looked after Kaede, who also trained to become a priestess. Her parents died sometime after her younger sister Kaede was born. Little has been revealed about Kikyō's childhood, aside from the fact she was born in Japan during the Feudal Era. After learning of the circumstances of her death, she resolved to destroy Naraku and to purge the Shikon Jewel from the world. Shortly after the Jewel was brought back to the Feudal Era, Kikyō was resurrected by the demon ogress Urasue. ![]() After being deceived and fatally injured by the hanyō Naraku, Kikyō bound Inuyasha to the Sacred Tree with a sealing arrow and sacrificed her own life to keep the Jewel from returning to the realm of the living. She was responsible for purifying the Shikon Jewel and was the former lover of Inuyasha. Kikyō ( 桔梗, "Chinese Bellflower") was a shrine priestess who lived 50 years prior to the main events of the series. No matter how much I desire to do good and help others, the truth is I live off the souls of the dead. Now I am but a corpse with a cursed, false existence. I am a priestess who is unable to leave this world and reach the sacred place. ![]() Willow Johnson The InuYasha Wiki has 158 related images “
