02x14 - Shinonome no Kirinmaru

[bunniefuu]

Soon after Towa and Setsuna were born,
Kirinmaru's sister Zero

placed the silver-scale curse
on their mother, Rin.

It's a curse
that makes the bearer rot away.

Furthermore, Zero was bound to Rin
by the threads of fate,

making it impossible
to undo the curse or defeat her.

But Towa and Setsuna were able to undo
the fate that bound Rin to Zero.

They saved Zero's heart,
and Riku sent her to heaven.

Freed from her curse, Rin was finally
able to reunite with Sesshomaru.

My parents are the half-demon Inuyasha

and Kagome,
a reincarnation of a legendary priestess.

14 years ago, Sesshomaru sealed them away
inside the Black Pearl.

I was left behind and entrusted
to Hachi the Raccoon Dog,

who then left me in the care
of the Wolf-Demon Tribe.

After that, I trained under Yawaragi and
grew up to be a first-rate bounty hunter.

And at last,
Sesshomaru gave the Black Pearl to me.

I'm finally gonna be able to meet
my mom and dad!

Or so I thought, but Kirinmaru
took the Black Pearl from me!

"Bring Akuru to me"?

What the hell are you talking about?
Give the Black Pearl back to me!

A Feudal Fairytale,
Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon.

We'll keep moving forward
through the hurdles of destiny!

"Kirinmaru of the Dawn."

Riku...

It's okay.

This is what Madam wanted.

I'm sure that Aunt Zero is grateful
to both of you.

DEMON SLAYER - SETSUNA
HALF-DEMON GIRL - TOWA HIGURASHI

Towa...

our mother...

want to go see her?

What?

That's right!

You should go see her immediately.

I'm sure that your mother
is eagerly awaiting your arrival.

Let's go see our mother!

Right.

Kirara!

CAT DEMON - KIRARA

Please be careful!

Riku?

Riku.

I need your help.

This Black Pearl is said to be connected

to the place where the Dog-Demon
of the West was laid to rest.

MOROHA

But right now his half-demon son

and the priestess who erased
the Shikon Jewel are sealed within it.

Stand back, Takechiyo.

Quit your blabbering
and give me back the Black Pearl!

Didn't you hear what I said just now?

If you want it back that badly...

then bring me Akuru.

Who the hell is this Akuru, anyway?

Akuru is a spirit who has been around
since the Age of the Gods.

Akuru, the one who opens doorways through
time...

It is said that only those who have been
chosen by the ages can see him.

He apparently takes the form
of a little child holding a pinwheel.

It looks like you know
who I'm talking about.

You've seen Akuru too, haven't you?

Come to think of it,
Rion did mention about Akuru.

Kirinmaru has traveled to every corner
of this world except for one place,

beyond space and time.

To that end, he intends to find
and capture a spirit named Akuru

so he can move the Windmill of Time.

But if he does so,

it is said that the world of the living
will cease to exist.

Flowers, trees, insects, animals,

all the things I love in this world
will instantly disappear.

You've got to be kidding me!

There's no way in hell
I'm going to look for Akuru!

With this rouge, I become Beniyasha,
Destroyer of Lands!

I challenge you to a duel!

Have you already forgotten
how I thoroughly crushed you before?

Interesting.

This will be the third time
we face each other, quarter-demon.

But it appears your spirit power
has increased along with your demon power.

Quit calling me "quarter-demon."

The name is Beniyasha!

I wonder what was up with Riku.

It feels as if I'll never see him again.

-What is that?
-Huh?

There's smoke coming
from the direction of the Tree of Ages!

Lord Sesshomaru.

Can you stand up?

Yes, I think so.

Towa and Setsuna
will likely be returning soon.

Really?

Moroha...

-Rin...
-Yes?

Whatever happens, don't leave this place.

Lord Sesshomaru? Where are you going?

Jaken, look after Rin.

What?

Lord Sesshomaru?

Lord Sesshomaru!

A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE -
YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON

A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE -
YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON

I shall slay Kirinmaru myself!

Miss Rion!

However, if Kirinmaru dies, Riku...

I understand.

I was originally Kirinmaru's horn.

If Kirinmaru dies...

You will also die as well.

Don't let that bother you.

I've always been prepared for this.

What about Lady Towa?

It was only a short while,

but this time I spent with Lady Towa
was truly fulfilling.

She gave me a reason to live.

What's that?

The sweetest fruit
I received from Lady Towa.

A forbidden fruit.

This is an apple seed.

Delicious! So this is an apple.

Thank you for the hospitality.

I must say...

this fruit truly was tasty!

Thinking back on it now...

that is when I learned the taste
of something forbidden.

Lady Towa believed me without a doubt.

And that smile on her face,
so innocent, yet bittersweet...

She made me experience
an emotion that I didn't need to know.

I learned what it means to fall in love.

This feeling is more than enough for me.

I no longer have
any regrets in this world.

I shall entrust you with my life,
Miss Rion.

Riku.

So where do we go from here?

Could you take me to Mount Musubi?

Mount Musubi?

She should have gone
when she had the chance.

You're full of spirit.

That's...

Moroha and Kirinmaru!

Iron-Reaver, Soul-Stealer!

This is the kind of valor
I want to see from my opponent.

Looking away during a fight?

This is bad!

Damn it.

-Moroha!
-Moroha!

Are you all right, Moroha?

You caught me at a pathetic moment.

Moroha! We'll assist you.

No!

This is between me and Kirinmaru!

-Don't-
-Don't say that!

We're friends, remember?

She's right! We're friends!

And we're also cousins!

We're supposed to gather
during Obon and New Year's

so we can have fun together
and get otoshidama!

It's been a while, hasn't it...

Sesshomaru?

-That's-
-That's-

Sesshomaru!

I understand that my sister
has passed away.

But is your wife all right?

Draw, Kirinmaru.

Don't you think
there's an order to things?

I'm fighting that quarter-demon right now.

The great Kirinmaru of the Dawn is dueling
someone he's already defeated before?

Furthermore,
using such underhanded tactics...

How dare you?

You are always aiming
to become the strongest.

In that case, shouldn't your opponent
also be the strongest?

So you've finally decided
to take me on, have you?

If I win, you will uphold
your promise to bring me Akuru.

Got that?

They've started.

What is that noise?

Don't interfere, you little girls!

-Let's go!
-Yeah!

Take this!

Sacred Arrow!

What?

Or so I made you think.

Heavenly Arrow Barrage!

She intends to suppress my power
with spirit power?

Zanseiken!

Twin Azure Dragon Wave!

This is... the power of the Kyuyokon!

It's devouring my demon power!

Vermillion Bird...

Ambush!

Enough! I don't have time
to be dealing with you three right now!

How dare you?

How dare you interfere with...
a duel between men?

You damn brats!

Here he comes!

The Dog-Demon of the West said

that women and children
should stay off the b*ttlefield.

Were his teachings
not passed down to his own clan?

I used this giant demon fireball technique

against the Dog-Demon of the West


See if you can take it!

-Huh?
-Huh?

What?

The big attack
you haven't used in 500 years,

I've endured it, Kirinmaru.

He stopped it
without even using his sword?

Lord Sesshomaru!

No way!

No! It can't be.

Lord Sesshomaru!

It sucked in Moroha and the others!

Huh? What the hell is that?

-Let's check it out!
-Yeah!

What's this?

He hid his presence, huh?

Well, it doesn't matter.

After getting hit with my demon fireball,
Sesshomaru will start to lose his Haku.

However, Sesshomaru,
we still haven't settled things just yet!

Come on out, Sesshomaru!

Where are you?

Where are you hiding, Sesshomaru?

This is not good!

Hurry up and come on out!

Where are you, Sesshomaru?

If Kirinmaru takes this Black Pearl,
things will be even worse!

Sesshomaru...

if you don't intend on coming out,

I guess I can declare this as my victory!

What is this place?

This is apparently
where the Great Dog-Demon,

our grandpa, was laid to rest.

We need to find a way back and fast.

I'm sorry. It's my fault
Sesshomaru ended up like that.

Moroha!

Someone's coming!

That's...

Could it be?

MOROHA'S MOTHER - KAGOME

Is that you...

Moroha?

So then you really are... my mom?

You're Moroha, aren't you?

Huh? Um... yes.

Let me get a better look at your face!

Huh? O-Okay.

Is it really you? Are you really Moroha?

Mom.

Moroha.

You came to see us, Moroha.

Oh, well... um, you see...

Moroha, I've missed you.

I've missed you so much.

Y-Yeah.

Her scent, it smells so familiar.

I remember smelling it
from a long time ago.

I'm sorry for leaving you
all alone for so long.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so happy for you, Moroha.

Hey, Kagome!

There wasn't anything over there!

MOROHA'S FATHER - INUYASHA

Hmm?

Dad?

No way. Is that you, Moroha?

NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW

Damn. Grandpa's grave is huge!

Mom! Dad!

I came over to see you!

Wow, so this is what's it's like
inside the Black Pearl?

Next time on Yashahime:
Princess Half-Demon:

"Moroha and Family, Together Again."

Crap. We managed to get inside,
but there's no way out?
