01x23 - Sanhime no gyakushû

[bunniefuu]

Towa and Setsuna.

Between us half-demon twins,

two different worlds exist

at the same time.

Human and demon.

Feudal era and present day.

Peacefulness and w*r.

Joy and sorrow.

Dreams and reality.

One moment and eternity.

And finally, love and hate.

A Feudal Fairytale, Yashahime:

Princess Half-Demon.

We'll keep moving forward

through the hurdles of destiny!

Well, well, Mr. Higurashi, is that you?

Good evening, Mr. Higurashi.

Sorry, I don't recall your name.

I'm Miss Towa's homeroom teacher,

Osamu Kirin.

Oh, hello.

Good evening, Mr. Kirin.

How is Miss Towa doing these days?

Ever since she transferred,

she's been absent.

Yes, well, her neuralgia has subsided,

but her rheumatism is still

I do hope she takes care.

I'm back!

Thank you for picking me up.

-Welcome back.

-Welcome back.

Oh, Mr. Kirin. Thank you for

always looking after Towa.

It's no trouble at all.

Did you bring me a gift?

Yes, of course I did.

Apples! Sis's favorite!

-These look tasty, I want to eat it now!

-It's gotten closer, hasn't it?

I believe it's been 500 years.

What? Where do you mean?

Well, I don't know the particulars,

but it's a comet that is said to

approach Earth every 470 years.

Oh, I've been hearing people

talk about it here and there.

But it shouldn't be visible yet

to the naked eye.

I can't see where it is at all.

I see.

So a normal person can't see that at all.

I see. So it does appear in the other era.

BEAST KING RULING THE FOUR PERILS

- KIRINMARU

I suppose I cannot continue to ignore it.

"The Three Princesses Strike Back".

KIRINMARU'S OLDER SISTER – ZERO

This is who I am after all.

That's fine, isn't it, My Lord?

All that remains are the finishing touches

for the other half-demon girl.

Riku.

I'm here.

You know, don't you?

Tell me how the other daughter

can manifest her true powers.

Are you talking about Lady Towa?

Who else could I be talking about?

Yes. Lady Towa is the kindest person

I see.

So that's how her powers are released.

So I don't believe she has

any powers hidden within her.

Oh? Well, if you say so,

then I'll take your word for it.

Yes. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more use.

You're really not good at

telling lies, are you?

Well, that's fine.

I'll make some tea. You should have some.

BOUNTY HUNTER – MOROHA

I believe this is a Blood Blade.

Blood Blade?

What's that?

If you truly are

the daughters of Sesshomaru,

then you have inherited

the blood of a great demon.

This means that

things such as poison claws

and blades of blood and

demon energy flow within you,

and at times, your body

will bring these things forth.

That's what I hear, anyway.

"That's what you hear"? Mr. Jyubei,

you can be pretty vague sometimes.

Well, of course, and that's because

I've never seen it with my own eyes.

So one day I will be able

-Setsuna?

-to use this?

Ask your own blood.

That was a good night's rest.

You're up.

Hey, how're you two doing?

Oh, good morning, Mr. Jyubei.

Got any juicy bounty hunting jobs?

I don't know about juicy, but there are

some nice people who'd like to hire you.

Oh yeah? Who is it?

– It's me

– And me.

We'll pay you our share

of Totetsu's bounty - all of it.

You two want to hire me?

What led you to this turn of events?

Hey!

This is what you wanted, right?

Azusa no Yumihari. Here.

It's a tsuchigumo web.

YOUNG RACCOON DOG DEMON TAKECHIYO

Yeah, this really reeks of

that woman's smell.

Now we'll know where to find her.

That woman Do you mean

Once dawn breaks,

we're going to go slay Zero.

It's time to fully repay my debt to her.

All right! Let's get to it!

It's been a while, your Ladyship.

Kirinmaru, it has been a while.

Are you well?

Yes, I am. And it's wonderful to see

your Ladyship is beautiful as always.

No need for flattery. And please,

do stop calling me by that name.

That era has long since passed.

It seems my sister has been

causing you some trouble.

Zero has not changed, has she?

She seems to be meddling in

the affairs of Sesshomaru's daughters,

but I struggle to see the point.

I must agree.

Well, she can do what she wants.

I care not what happens to those girls.

Besides, a half-demon's true worth

comes from survival.

I am glad to hear that.

Since I am being targeted by them,

I'm afraid I simply cannot

let them go unharmed.

By the way

has the Windmill of Time moved at all?

It has not. I haven't even seen Akuru

these past several years.

Sesshomaru is having some difficulty

finding Akuru's pinwheel.

I'm sure that is just Sesshomaru's

way of passing time.

I think Sesshomaru's true intention

is to take care of his daughters.

That cannot be possible.

That would almost make him seem human.

That is true

See you later.

And good luck.

I've faced many different people

throughout the years,

but you are beyond understanding.

What an odd girl you are, truly.

I can take that as a complement, right?

Of course.

Show me your hidden demon powers.

I'd like to see your prowess for myself!

I knew it. I wasn't wrong when I thought

you smelled like Kirinmaru.

Would you honor me with a fight?

Are you fine with me?

Towa's the one you really want, right?

You got me right where it hurts!

Cyclone Burst!

Scourge of Swallows!

Crimson Dragon Wave!

Eat this!

Attempting revenge so soon?

I like you, Half-Demon Princesses!

Azusa no Yumihari!

I already know how your attack works.

I have your life now! Prepare yourself!

Didn't I tell you that your

Crimson Dragon does not work on me?

Crimson Dragons favor white clouds!

Oh, I know.

I borrowed this "auto-open"

umbrella from Towa!

Well, then.

This is what I was really waiting for!

Crimson Backlash Wave!

W-What?

What is that?

Those are the Master's ashes.

You were here, Grandpa Myoga?

What are you talking about?

This Myoga has always been

by your side, Lady Moroha!

Whatever you say.

Wait, by "Master," do you mean

grandpa? The Great Dog-Demon?

Yes, this is where

the Great Dog-Demon perished.

So it wouldn't be strange if Master's

demon powers had seeped into the dirt.

Lady Moroha! The Backlash Wave

was originally Tessaiga's technique.

It was something developed by Master.

It's hardly surprising if his ashes

end up diffusing the

reversed flow of demon energy.

Then what am I supposed to do

Nevermind!

I guess I just gotta go with the flow!

Looks like we've been surrounded.

At least you should be able to get away.

I would never do

such a heartless thing, Madam.

Madam? Then, the one

who you said looked after you is

It's her, yes.

That's why you shouldn't have

given him the Silver Pearl.

So we can assume that both of you

are in league with Kirinmaru?

Well, I can neither confirm nor deny that.

Lady Moroha!

It's out of the question to battle at

the place where Master passed away!

You should retreat for now.

So I get that it's not good to fight here.

But you know

What is it?

That doesn't matter right now!

Why back down from a fight we could win?

W-What a disrespectful granddaughter

you are to your grandfather!

Why did I bother?

There he goes.

Why don't you return the Silver Pearl

that you took from Towa?

Go ahead Riku, give it back.

You have to be joking.

I went through so much trouble

to gather all the Rainbow Pearls here.

What?

You've gathered all the Pearls?

It wasn't just the Silver Pearl you stole?

Nope. I have five here on me,

plus the Gold in Setsuna's right eye

and the Red in Moroha's rouge.

How humiliating.

To think all my tears return to me

at the place where he died

This must be some kind of fate as well.

I was meaning to hand them to you

after I had them all, but

How dare you!

How dare you bring back

these Pearls to me.

I will show you who

the true owner of these Pearls are!

Setsuna!

The Blood Blade started acting up

as soon as the Gold Pearl flew out!

Don't get so full of yourself!

Stop it!

Lord Sesshomaru, that pinwheel just now

It was Akuru. There's no mistake.

W-Will you not give chase?

Lord Sesshomaru.

The Windmill of Time has moved.

TOWA AND SETSUNA'S MOTHER – RIN

Madam. Madam!

Please hang in there, Madam!

Rin?

Zero is dying. Who struck her?

So this is the Underworld. I see.

Oh, Zero.

Planning to pass without even a greeting?

We were not that close, I suppose.

So age has finally gotten to you?

How auspicious.

No, I was k*lled by Sesshomaru's daughter.

Oh, that is hilarious.

I didn't say a joke.

You got so wound up over those girls.

That's what meddling gets you.

You may be right.

Regardless, I'm feeling much better now.

And that's because Sesshomaru

must be feeling downright miserable.

Is that so?

The human who is Sesshomaru's

wife is still connected to me.

If I die, then she dies as well.

This is so delightful.

I'm sure she will soon pass this way.

Say, when Izayoi passed through here

in the past, how did you feel?

Didn't you feel just as relieved

as I am now?

Didn't your heart just dance?

After all, Izayoi is the woman

who led him to his death.

You couldn't help but feel disdain.

How boorish.

These are my last moments.

Can't you spare me your

falsehoods at the very least?

An offering to the woman who wasn't

chosen by the Great Dog-Demon.

I have no interest in humans,

and I have no words to offer you.

I see.

I have no offering, but Zero,

what was it that you wanted to do?

I just wanted to protect Kirinmaru

from humans and half-demons.

And you're telling me to

spare you falsehoods!

You still talk like you can see through

everything. I don't like you after all.

I shall take that as a compliment.

I hate humans and half-demons.

Especially those who did nothing more

than inherit the Great Dog-Demon's blood.

So it was jealousy!

How incredibly human of you.

A human?

How dare you!

Madam!

You're

Sesshomaru.

Why didn't you use your own blade?

I cut her with this.

Is this not my own blade?

What part of me is human-like?

Women who burn from love how pitiful.

Did he just cut something?

She came back to life?

That was a close one, Rin.

But why? How did she come back to life?

It's the Tenseiga!

I've heard rumors about it.

Tenseiga?

I don't know the details,

but Sesshomaru's Tenseiga is a sword

that saves the lives of the weak.

So that's why that woman

came back to life.

Damn it, it was you!

Sesshomaru!

Don't tell me you used the Tenseiga!

I won't forgive you.

I won't forgive you, Sesshomaru.

Of all things, how could you have used

his fang to bring me back to life?

I knew of no other method.

Madam, please calm down.

Living in this world is hard.

If you don't follow the set rules,

you're treated as an outcast.

I was so tired of it when I

was in the other world.

I won't forgive you!

What Zero is feeling now

is probably like how I felt back then.

I will never forgive you!

Tenseiga.

I had lost my sense of self.

I had always thought to leave disposing

of your daughters to Kirinmaru.

But I can't take it anymore.

I will deal with your little brats myself!

I will no longer falter.

This is who I am after all.

Riku, bring me the Rainbow Pearls,

the source of my demon powers.

But Madam, please wait!

Kirinmaru?

I was wondering when he'd show up.

No wonder Grandpa Myoga

bolted when he could.
