So this is the woman who restored me to life. I might not have had this new body at all if not for her.
Yeah right, loser! She did it to save Inuyasha, not you, so wipe that stupid smile off your face!!
And yet I still know her to the very woman who followed you in death fifty years ago.
Inuyasha
No!! Don't you dare!! Don't you touch her!! Not now or ever!!
Inuyasha
Kikyo? Those are Kagome's Jewel shards!! Kagome. You didn't!! Don't tell it was you!!
What's wrong, Inuyasha? Tell me. Why do I get the feeling you're unhappy to know I am well?
Inuyasha
Answer me!! Just what did you do to her!!?
I tried to kill her. What is that you plan to do about it? Will you kill me? Tell me. When Naraku had you under a spell, what was it that you thought about?
(Flashes back to Inuyasha's illusion)
Inuyasha
"I...I swear I'll always protect you."
(End of flashback)
Now, could you have said that if you going to kill me!? Embracing death together! Now that's a day I'll wait for.
I can't believe my Jewel shards were taken.
(Flashes back to Kikyo taking the shards)
Inuyasha
Stop worrying about it, Kagome. It's not like she stole all the pieces or anything. We're just gonna have to find some more, that's all.
Sango (in a whisper): Why is Inuyasha being so understand? It's so unlike him.
I suspect it's because Kikyo was the one who stole the Sacred Jewel shards.
Uh, what can he do when the culprit's a woman he's been in love with?
Inuyasha
Listen, you morons! If you think I'm protecting Kikyo, you got another thing thing coming!! You think I'm goin' soft on her, too, don't you!!? Then speak up!!
Master Inuyasha, you haven't been able to unravel the mystery of Tetsusaiga on your own. You tried but you haven't been able to tap into the power that killed a hundred demons in one sweep. But Totsai knows its secret. I think if you take the time to know each other and cooperate, you can awaken and harness Tetsusaiga's full strength.
Inuyasha
There's no mystery. I'll get the hang of it. I just need practice.
I understand you been collecting the Sacred Jewel shards for awhile. Who knows how many demons have multiple pieces of the Jewel? You know how difficult it's been to battle demons with more than one. Don't you want to awaken the Tetsusaiga's full potential in order to defeat demons with that enhanced strength?
He does have a point, Inuyasha.
I think you should at least hear what he has to say.
Inuyasha
It's a blade that doesn't cut? So how are you supposed to fight with a sword like that?
The Tenseiga is not a sword used against foes. To put it simply, it is a sword of healing.
The Testsuaiga is a sword that defeats the powerful, and the Tenseiga is a sword that has the ability to save the lives of the weak.
If the bearer has kindness of heart towards humanity, then the Tenseiga has the power to save a hundred people in one sweep.
So the Tetsusaiga can slay a hundred demons in one sweep, and the Tenseiga can save a hundred people in one sweep?
But how are you able to use this sword as a weapon?
It must have the ability to bring back dead souls. Such a power could be very useful during these Fuedual times.
TTotsai
I almost called the sword "the Coffin Cheater", but I opted for Tenseiga instead. It was a little more classy. Actually, it was your father who suggested the name.
Inuyasha
I get it now. No wonder Sesshomaru wants a new sword. He can't use his. He's incapable of feeling kindness for people, let alone saving lives.
Too bad this isn't working. It was your father's last wish.
Your brother's so black hearted.
He wouldn't be happy with the sword, even if he could use it.
You did it, Inuyasha! You discovered Tetsusaiga's secret and now you can master it.
So does that mean Sesshomaru is dead?
Most likely. I don't know how he could have survived. He received a direct blow from the fully empowered Tetsusaiga.
I didn't see Inuyasha make a direct blow. All he did was widely swing his sword around because his eyes were blinded with poison.
Inuyasha
What are you trying to say?
Listen, Inuyasha. You've uncovered the Wind Scar, I'll give you that much. But it now means that you now know what you're brother knows. You're still not his equal, and now he's even more formidable than he was before.
You referred to him as though he were still alive.
Sesshomaru is still alive, and even though he despises the Tenseiga, it protected his life.
Do you mean that Sesshomaru is still around somewhere?
(Totosai continues banging Tetsusaiga's blade with a hammer)
Inuyasha, when you used the Wind Scar against Sesshomaru, you didn't feel it strike him, did you?
Inuyasha
Hard to say. I was blinded. His body felt like it disintegrated in the blast from the Tetsusaiga. I didn't pulverize him or nothing. He just sort of disappeared...evaporated.
Tenseiga protected Sesshomaru from the power and might of Tetsusaiga. It acted on its own accord.
It has a will of its own?
And here Sesshomaru calls Tenseiga a useless sword. And despised it as his birthright.
Tenseiga is the sword of life. And when Sesshomaru's life is in danger, despite his dark soul, the Tenseiga choose to save him. And that is what makes him invincible.
So how do you defeat a foe like that? I wouldn't know how to. It's beyond me.
How dare you! Why did you slaughter my pack of wolves!!?
Kagome (thinking): Three shards! He has one on his right arm, and one in each leg. Inuyasha, be careful! He has three shards-!
Inuyasha
So you're the one controlling this bloodthirsty pack!
And you're their executioner!? Damn you all for murdering my underlings!! You'll pay with your lives!!
Inuyasha
Go on! Try it! How many innocent people have you and your pack killed!!?
Inuyasha, watch out!! He's using the power of the Sacred Jewel!! They're on his legs and right arm!
Koga (thinking): She can tell?
Inuyasha
Why didn't you say so earlier!? I thought you were acting pretty tough, but it's only because you got Jewel shards! You haven't got any power on your own, do ya!?
It seems like every time we travel in the direction, in which Kagome detects a Sacred Jewel shard, we come across another village that has been completely annihilated. The battle to claim the Sacred Jewel shards has wrought nothing but tragedy. And countless innocent villagers have lost their lives because of it.
Inuyasha
So what?
So what? So while I believe it is worthwhile venture to take possession of the Jewel shards before Naraku or any other demon can, I cannot approve of your seeking the fragments to become a full-fledged demon. That is all I'm saying.
Inuyasha
Don't start that again! You're not winning points for persistence. I'm goin' to become a full-fledged demon, no matter what anyone says! So don't try to stop me!
