Quote by Rumiko Takahashi

“That was the first time I'd seen the Sacred Jewel. And after she was given custody of it, sister Kikyō's fate changed drastically. She would watch other girls her age indulge in make-up, paint their faces white, and enjoy their youth." ―Kaede”

"Don't say things like that!" Noah explodes with laughter. "Put the sausage in the cupcake!" he crows. "The sausage in the cupcake!" Great. I glare at Lorcan, who stares back, unmoved. And, anyway, cupcake? I've never heard it called that.”
