01x15 - Gesshoku, unmei no sekibetsu

[bunniefuu]

Please do forgive me.

This is an old tale

that began 18 years ago.

Although for me, of course,

18 years feels like no time at all

Behold, isn't it glorious?

So this is the Black Pearl.

The jewel that leads to the

border of this world and the afterlife.

Normally it would take around 100 years,

but I was able to create it in just four.

This is all thanks to you, Sir Riku,

for allowing me to borrow your

Rainbow Pearl and Lady Izayoi's rouge.

I'm glad I was able to help you.

So, what will you do with that?

I plan to deliver it to Sir Inuyasha.

Well, then, can you

please give him this, too?

Lady Kaede, I found yet

another remnant of Root Head.

Is that so. It's been a month,

and we still can't seem to be rid of it.

Such a troublesome demon.

There's also a demon at Doggy's place.

Do you mean Inuyasha?

It's a different demon, a shell demon.

A shell demon?

Rejoice, Sir Inuyasha! The Black Pearl

is complete.

And it's ready 96 years

earlier than scheduled, too.

I heard a rumor,

but is it true that you inherited my

father's special technique,

Adamant Barrage?

Oh yeah, that's right.

Please, if you could

demonstrate it for me just this once!

If you show me, then I shall hand

you this Black Pearl that you so desire.

Well, if you want to see

Adamant Barrage, then I'll show you.

Plus, I owe it to the

previous Hosenki, after all.

Oh, thank you, thank you!

Hey, wait just a second.

Adamant Barrage!

Inuyasha, sit boy!

I didn't think you'd do it

here. What were you thinking, gosh!

I heard that these were originally the

tears from the Great Dog-Demon's wife,

Lady Izayoi.

Mother's tears, huh?

When the Great Dog-Demon passed away, Lady

Izayoi's tears were turned into a jewel.

The Tessaiga and the path

to his grave were sealed inside it,

and it was placed within

young Sir Inuyasha's right eye.

Mr. Hosenki, what is this?

That is the rouge Lady Izayoi used.

In order to create the Black Pearl, we

needed some of Lady Izayoi's deep sadness.

I'm surprised you found that.

It was no easy feat.

We can have this, too?

Along with the Black Pearl?

Of course. I have no use for it

now that the Black Pearl is complete.

Isn't that great, Inuyasha? Now we

have two of your mother's keepsakes.

Huh? Why the hell would I

need these things anymore?

What are you talking about?

With this, we can go pay

respects to your father's grave.

Why can't you be happier about it?

Hmph, like I'd go to somewhere like that.

What have you done?

Concealing it in your right eye means you

can't extract it unless it's an emergency.

It was my mother's keepsake,

so I can do whatever I want with it.

You always say such reckless

things. This rouge is off-limits, okay?

He's so bad at showing how he truly feels.

"Farewell Under the Lunar Eclipse"

Lady Kaede.

Hurry, hurry!

Oh, Kin'u and Gyokuto, don't rush me.

But Lady Rin

is about to give birth!

All right, all right.

We're gonna give the baby

way more attention than we give Hisui!

By the way, where is Sango and Hisui?

Mother went to get Lady Kagome.

Kagome, looks like it'll be soon.

Okay, got it.

Are you all right though? You're

pretty far along, right? I can't wait.

Thanks. But I don't have morning

sickness, and you can barely see my bump.

You're right. Still,

watch your footing, okay?

Mother! Lady Kaede said

she needs your help with something!

All right.

Oh, I'll be fine. I'll catch

up to you, so go on ahead.

Okay. But be careful, okay?

Yep.

The moon is waning a little.

That's odd, it's

supposed to be a full moon tonight.

Oh, right. Tonight

must be a lunar eclipse.

The Earth's shadow

covers the moon and it gets dark.

Lady Kagome.

My name is Riku.

Mister Riku? Have we met before?

No, this is our first time meeting.

Then how do you know my name?

The legendary priestess who made the

right wish and purified the Shikon Jewel.

Word of your deeds has spread much

further than you can imagine, you know.

Is that so. So do you

have business with me?

A great cataclysm is approaching.

Every 500 years, a comet called the

Grim Comet travels close to this Earth.

A comet?

Unfortunately, large fragments

break off and fall from that Comet.

500 years ago, back when

nobles were governing the land,

w*r and famine kept

spreading, and many people died.

Because of that, the

population of demons grew.

And great demons who controlled

them appeared in the East and West.

You know one of them

quite well- the Great Dog-Demon.

The Great Dog-Demon Inuyasha's father.

Yes, that's correct.

The Great Dog-Demon and Kirinmaru.

These two Beast Kings joined forces

and eradicated the

Comet fragment 500 years ago.

Inuyasha's father did? Oh, wow

Seven days from now,

the Grim Comet's fragment

will fall upon this Earth once again.

However, the Great Dog-Demon is no longer,

and Kirinmaru himself

has fallen into a long slumber.

Will Inuyasha be able to

serve in his father's place?

How can we awaken

Kirinmaru from his slumber?

I don't recommend awakening Kirinmaru.

He hates humans and cannot

forgive the existence of half-demons.

He wouldn't just k*ll Inuyasha.

He would also most likely k*ll the

half-demon

that Lady Rin will birth tonight.

And, of course, your child as well.

He'll k*ll my child?

Can't we do anything?

Isn't there a way to destroy the Comet's

fragment while keeping Kirinmaru asleep?

There is one way.

If the Great Dog-Demon's

sons can combine their strength, and

If there's anything I can do, I'll do it!

Then, can you please convince

Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Inuyasha?

Okay, I'll see what I can do.

INUYASHA'S OLDER HALF-BROTHER – SESSHOMARU

Lord Sesshomaru, looks like they're born.

Hm? Who goes there?

It's been a while, Lord Sesshomaru.

Just who are you?

Come, answer my question!

How is your mother doing?

Hmph, I haven't seen her in years.

Word is that you had

twins. Or was it half-demon twins?

I can already picture the

surprise on Kirinmaru's face.

The great Lord Sesshomaru,

known to despise humans and half-demons

has taken a human woman as his wife.

Perhaps you should hide your

precious daughters before he awakens.

Is it not you who wants them dead, Zero?

Oh my, you

remembered my name? I'm flattered.

A puppet?

How boorish.

Once the lunar eclipse ends,

the Grim Comet will approach for the first

time in 500 years.

You should use your Bakusaiga then.

It's your choice whether to heed

my warning or not, Lord Sesshomaru.

However, as someone

humiliated by your father

I'd be lying if I said I didn't wish to

see your entire family suffer in agony.

Well then, best of luck to you.

Just who does she think she is?

Huh? L-Lord Sesshomaru!

You did well, Rin.

Thank you very much.

Really, you did. They're both so adorable.

What will you name them?

Towa and Setsuna.

Towa and Setsuna, huh?

Yes, those are wonderful names.

Lord Sesshomaru.

What are you doing?

You fool, where do you plan to take them?

Sesshomaru, what's going on?

It's a rite of courage and cowardice.

Wait, Sesshomaru.

Is Kirinmaru tied to this somehow?

In order to destroy the Comet's fragment,

I heard that we need

both you and Inuyasha.

Lord Sesshomaru, I have faith in you.

Hey, Kagome.

Jaken.

I wrote here when and where

Lord Sesshomaru plans

to destroy the Comet fragment.

Naturally, Lord Sesshomaru

can fulfill the task on his own,

but we're letting

Inuyasha know just in case.

Oh, okay. Got it.

Master Jaken.

Leave the rest to me.

Zero asked me to do this.

Hand over those half-demon twins to me!

Rainbow Pearls, huh.

Give those back! They're

the jewels of the Ka Demon Tribe!

No. These are Zero's tears.

This Jaken shall fulfill the role of their

caretaker and raise them in Rin's place.

Jaken, Jaken!

Come forth, barrier!

The barrier is complete. I

shall eventually bring Rin here, too.

I can't sense the presence of

those half-demon twins anywhere.

Looks like they were sealed

away within a barrier somewhere.

As expected from Sesshomaru.

This palace belongs to

Lord Sesshomaru's mother.

But it doesn't look like she's

here today. Thank goodness

It's here.

Bakusaiga!

And the rest

Leave that to me.

Meido Zangetsuha!

Wonderfully done, Lord Sesshomaru.

I'm the one who cleaned it up!

Yes, Inuyasha, you did well, too.

What are you saying?

Your Meido Zangetsuha

originally belonged to Lord Sesshomaru.

Jaken.

-We're leaving.

-Y-Yes.

Kagome, let's go!

Hey, wait for me.

Why have you awoken me?

The Great Dog-Demon's sons must

have taken care of the Comet's fragment.

Sesshomaru has taken a human as a bride.

Just like the Great Dog-Demon did

He did what?

At this rate, Sesshomaru will be

plunged into disaster and fall to ruin.

Are you going to let that happen?

And he has sired

daughters. Half-demons twins.

Do you remember?

The Shikon Jewel is gone

now, but it still left us a prophecy.

Kirinmaru.

You will be felled by an

existence that is neither human nor demon.

An impossible entity

that can surpass time.

That is what will defeat you.

You laughed it off,

saying no such thing can exist,

but thanks to the Great Dog-Demon,

that which should not

exist has become reality.

That is the half-demon.

They are an existence

that is neither demon nor human.

And a quarter demon daughter

will soon be born between Kagome,

the girl who surpassed time to

appear in this world, and Inuyasha.

And if we can't erase these cursed

half-demons

and abominable quarter-demon

Just as the Shikon Jewel

prophesized, you will meet your end.

Lord Sesshomaru.

It's been a while, Kirinmaru.

Will you slay Inuyasha?

That's what I had in mind.

Could it be that

Lord Sesshomaru is going to lend a hand?

Very well. Come with me, Sesshomaru.

You're such a good child.

Kagome!

They're here!

Okay.

This is a keepsake from Inuyasha's mother.

We decided that if we had

a girl, we would give this to her.

Mr. Hachi, please take care of her.

We will never hand over Moroha to you!

Quit your prattling, human.

Inuyasha!

-Inuyasha, are you okay?

-Yeah.

Kagome!

Kagome!

You helped them?

What are you talking about?

Lord Kirinmaru.

There will come a time when Inuyasha's

Meido Zangetsuha will be needed.

Until then, I think we should simply have

them pay respects to the Master's grave.

I suppose that's fine.

I'm glad the Black Pearl and

Lady Izayoi's rouge were useful.

Look at them dream

Thanks to the Dream Gazing

spell, I've finally found them.

Homura.

-Burn that forest down.

-That forest?

That's fine by you, right?

Lord Sesshomaru?

Burn the entire forest,

and erase those cursed half-demon sisters

from the face of this world.

Understood.

Setsuna, this way.

Sis!

Setsuna? Setsuna!

Sis!

Are you okay? I'm

sorry I ran off like that

Look out!

Oh, no!

Setsuna!

Sis!

Where'd she go?

-Setsuna!

-And thus,

Lady Towa, Lord Sesshomaru's daughter,

departed on her trip beyond time.

This is as far as I can divulge.

Come on now, don't be

hasty. It's in poor taste, you know?

If fate allows it,

perhaps we shall meet again.

Until then, farewell.

NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW

You threw that child

into the crucible of Kodoku?

She's got a

fifty-fifty chance of surviving.

Hey, Yawaragi. Our

master-pupil relationship ends today.

I'll have you hand over Kurikaramaru.

It was a shock to hear that

Moroha got sold off by her master.

But why is she hanging with

Konton, one of the Four Perils?

Next time on Yashahime:

Princess Half-Demon: "Double-Edged Moroha"

I won't need any help. This is

between my master Yawaragi and me.
