Translation notes and style
Although scene descriptions are provided, it is not nearly the same as seeing it for yourself. If you enjoy the series, I would strongly recommend buying the tankoubon (collected version, each about 180 pages or 10 chapters long, costing 410 yen) when they become available (typically 3-4 months after the weekly Shonen Sunday release), and the first 21 volumes are now on sale.
Warning: These translations will occationally include strong language, and violence, though this is only when it is present in the original Japanese version.

Title
Hakudoushi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[COMMENTS] "Hakudoushi" simply translates as "white child" or "white boy".

[Inuyasha and co face off against Entei, the huge Youkai horse, with a small boy on top (Hakudoushi), dressed in white.]
fx Entei whinny...
Inuyasha
You're the one who undid the seal on that monsterous horse!?
2
[View of Miroku and Sango.]
Miroku
The ones who undid the seal were Kagura and the baby.
Sango
The baby had been destroyed after the priest's Buddhist powers cut it in two.

[View of the boy on the horse.]
Hakudoushi
Humph...
There's no way I'd die from a mere human's Buddhist powers.
2
[View of Inuyasha and Kagome.]
Inuyasha
In that case,
you're that baby!?
3
[Closeup of the boy.]
Hakudoushi
I am Hakudoushi...
As you can guess, I'm lost child of Naraku's.

[Closeup of Miroku shouting up at the boy.]
Miroku
Hakudoushi!
I heard the reason you went around killing priests and monks...
2
[View of the boy.]
Miroku
{off} was to find out about the boundry between this world and the next!
What's there?
Hakudoushi ......
3
[Closeup of Hakudoushi, responding with a smile.]
Hakudoushi
Kukuku... Why don't you try searching for it too?
The Shikon fragment...
4
[View of Inuyasha and Kagome.]
Inuyasha
A Shikon fragment!?
5
[View of Hakudoushi looking behind him as Kagura arrives on a large feather, with some Saimyoushou around her.]

[View of Kagura and Hakudoushi.]
Kagura
Hey, is that okay?
To talk about such things.
Hakudoushi
Should it be hidden?
2
[View of the boy.]
Hakudoushi
Besides, the more the better.
You should be grateful for being given a clue!
3
[View of Miroku and Inuyasha.]
Miroku
It seems that the talk about the fragment is true, doesn't it.
Inuyasha
Bah!
4
[Closeup of Inuyasha looking angry.]
Inuyasha
I dunno about the next world or what, but,
if there is a fragment there, then...

Going to kill priests again?

No.
Humans aren't up to it.

[Closeup of the boy thinking. A view of when the baby was split in two by the priest is shown.]
Hakudoushi
Just before being cut in two, the scenery I saw in his heart...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 8

[Drawing of a misty scene with craggy rocks among mist. There's some small glowing lights floating around. It somewhat reminds me of the sub-dimension Inuyasha's father's grade is entombed in.]
Hakudoushi
Was that the boundry between this world and the next...?
What I saw was a world of white fog...
2
[Closeup of the boy thinking.]
Hakudoushi
I want to know more details about that scenery.
...In which case...

In addition, I want to...
quickly get used to this body.

Strange, isn't it.
Since that Hakudoushi boy ran away,
we haven't heard about any temples or shrines being attacked.
4
[View of Miroku looking around, and Sango looking at him.]
Miroku
Yeah, and instead...
I can feel some strange evil auras.
Quite a few...
Sango
Strange auras?
5
[Closeup side view of Miroku.]
Miroku
None of them are very strong, but...
the way they move is bizzare...
6
[Misty frame.]
Miroku
It's like...
they are aimlessly wandering.

I wonder where that Inuyasha's gone off to.

There's no sign of that Hakudoushi brat.

fx Shippou *slap*
4
[Inuyasha is now holding Shippou by the tail while talking to Kagome.]
Shippou
Who knows what'd have happened to Kagome if I wasn't there?
Inuyasha
Yeah...
I'm sorry, Kagome...
Kagome
It's okay... but...

Yeah.
4
[View of Miroku and Sango.]
Sango
Is this the "wandering evil" you mentioned, Houshi-sama...?
Miroku
Yeah.
This is likely one of them.
5
[Inuyasha is looking at the neck.]
Inuyasha
This is...
like somebody did it with a blade.
6
[Closeup side view of Inuyasha.]
Inuyasha
...though this cut...
was done by a really sloppy guy.
