What's wrong, Sesshomaru? You look so sad. Tenseiga has matured considerably, and your Meido has expanded, just as you'd hoped. Isn't that cause for celebration?
(angrily) Did you know this would happen to Rin? Did you, Mother?!
If I'm not mistaken, you have already used Tenseiga to revive her once, have you not? Son, Tenseiga can only call a person back from the dead once.
It only makes sense. Life is not supposed to be limitless, after all. It's not something that can be renewed over and over again for your own convenience. Sesshomaru, had you come to believe that you were a god, perhaps? That you did not need to fear death, as long as Tenseiga was in your hands? You needed to learn two things: the desire to save the life of a loved one taken by death... and the sorrow and fear which accompanies that loss.
(thinking) Sorrow and fear...
Your father wanted me to tell you this: Tenseiga is a sword for healing. Only a person who values life and possesses a compassionate heart may wield such a weapon, and use its' power to bury their enemies. That is the requirement of any who wish to be worthy of Tenseiga, a sword that can save lives and condemn others.
(thinking, sadly) So Rin had to die in order for Lord Sesshomaru to learn about compassion?
Little demon, why are you crying?
(weeping) The name's Jaken, my Lady. It's just that Lord Sesshomaru, by his very nature, will never shed tears, so I must cry in his stead!
Oh? Is that how you feel, Sesshomaru? (Sesshomaru glares at her) This is her last chance. You understand?
What is that?
It's the little girl's life, which was left behind in the Underworld.
Rin!
You're back!
(squeezing his hand) Lord Sesshomaru... you're here.
... You're okay now, Rin.
I am.
Excuse me, my good Lady. (bows to Sesshomaru's mother) Please allow me to thank you, on Lord Sesshomaru's behalf!
Is Sesshomaru happy that I've brought her back?
Very happy, I presume.
All this fuss, over a little human girl. He's inherited one of his father's more unusual traits.
