Synopsis
A furious Moroha challenges Kirinmaru to a duel but ends up being beaten by the Beast King of the East with relative ease, despite the new-and-improved strength of her Beniyasha form and advancement in her spiritual abilities. Having finally been released from the silver-scale curse, Rin is told to remain safe within the Sacred Tree of Ages under Jaken's watchful eye as Sesshoumaru exits to assist his half-niece in taking down his late father's rival. Towa and Setsuna leave the recently departed Lord Nanahoshi's mansion to reunite with their human mother Rin but decide to help their cousin Moroha take down Kirinmaru. It is then that Sesshoumaru emerges, and he and Kirinmaru again engage in a battle causing the very earth and heavens to resound once again. Meanwhile, Rion makes the decision to put an end to her own father, fully aware that by doing so would mean Riku's demise as well, being Kirinmaru's incarnation made from his broken right horn. Riku is not worried, as he has been prepared for such a moment for some time now and cherishes the time, however brief, that he had spent with Towa. To further assist her in her mission, Rion asks that Riku take her back to Mount Musubi. Hearing shaking from outside, Rin and Jaken exit the Sacred Tree of Ages just as Sesshoumaru has taken the hit for his twin daughters' and half-niece from the Bakuseiken's immensely powerful and lethal Demon Fireball attack, which gradually begins to drain him of his very lifeblood essence (haku) but not before Sesshoumaru uses his remaining strength to send the Half-Demon Princesses into the Black Pearl to protect them from further attacks. Gravely injured and weakened, Sesshoumaru still manages to mask his presence as his haku is gradually drained from him. At the Border of the Afterlife, near Tōga's tomb, the Half-Demon Princesses encounter none other than Kagome Higurashi, who at first is skeptical but embraces Moroha in happy tears. Towa and Setsuna who are watching, are also filled with tears of joy. Inuyasha then appears and is thoroughly shocked at suddenly seeing his first child in fourteen years since her infancy.
