Original subtitles

I couldn't save you!

You came for me.

That is enough.

Kikyo...

It's so warm.

Inuyasha...

I didn't want Kikyo to endure any more sorrow.

I wanted to protect her forever.

SESSHOMARU IN THE UNDERWORLD

Master Jaken, what's Lord Sesshomaru doing?

How would I know?

For the past few days, he appears to have been searching for something.

Is it really that important?

It must be.

Lady Kikyo.

The light I saw last night...

It must have been Lady Kikyo.

I'm sorry, Kohaku...

that we couldn't take you to the Lady Priestess.

If only I was stronger...

What's that?

Lord Sesshomaru!

Lord Sesshomaru!

Sesshomaru, it's you.

Hey! Who do you think you are?!

How dare you disrespect Lord Sesshomaru?!

You must have questions about the Tenseiga your father left you,

if you've come to visit your mother.

- What? - What?

Th-Th-The...

The Lady Mother?!

I see. You were following Naraku's scent.

Yeah, we figured we would find Koga.

We were in a hurry to help fight.

Unfortunately, we didn't arrive in time.

They probably mean it.

No, you did well to make your way here.

Your presence must be reassuring for Koga.

Yeah...

But...

Koga must feel really frustrated,

now that his shards have been taken.

Kagome, are you going to be okay?

Yeah.

It's pathetic!

My legs feel like lead weights.

I didn't expect to survive like this.

No, it's a blessing that you're still alive.

Well then...

Koga?

Hey.

Are you leaving?

Yeah.

I sure don't want to hold you guys back.

I see.

You're also leaving.

Look at that idiotic expression on your face.

Well, I don't mean to sound so harsh...

But do you think you're the only one suffering right now?!

Huh?!

I know.

Damn it!

Try to imagine how it feels for me to leave Kagome behind.

Yeah.

Don't be so sincere!

It's creeping me out!

Hey you...

I'm sitting here listening to you 'cause you're supposed to be injured...

- Whoa there. - I'll kill you!

Koga.

What?

This stupid dog's a lost cause.

It's gonna take him a while to recover.

Kagome, you'll have to stay with him.

Yeah, thanks.

Sorry to worry you.

Yeah.

Goodbye, Koga.

So long, Kagome.

Damn Koga...

See ya, Miss Kagome.

And everyone else too!

Take care.

Goodbye.

Koga!

I won't let your efforts go to waste!

Everything you felt,

and all the fighting against Naraku you've done!

Heh, of course.

Kagome, come look me up if you get sick of the pup.

Sure.

Well, let's go, Koga.

We can run nice and slow.

- That's fast! - Wait up, Koga!

They left.

Inuyasha?

Above the clouds?

I can smell Sesshomaru, and another demon.

Sesshomaru, did you not despise humans?

Yet you have two human children with you.

do you intend to eat them?

You should have heard from Father

about how to use Tenseiga to open the Path to the Underworld.

Really? He simply left this Meido Stone.

Meido Stone?

He said to use it if you ever came to me.

That's right, he mentioned something else.

He said that using the Meido Stone would place you in danger,

but I shouldn't feel scared or sad.

She doesn't seem that worried.

Like mother, like son.

Well, Sesshomaru?

Your mother is terribly distressed.

Such hollow words.

Then I shall have you entertain me.

Meido Zangetsuha!

So this is your Path to the Underworld.

It's nowhere near a full moon.

What?!

Lord Sesshomaru's sword cannot cut through it?!

That is a hound from the Underworld.

Sesshomaru,

it appears that your sword cannot cause harm nor bring good.

Wait, Sesshomaru.

You intend to step into the Path to the Underworld,

for the sake of saving humans?

You've developed a kind nature.

I merely go to cut down that hound.

Oh! Lord Sesshomaru!

None can return alive after the path has closed.

Alas, that is why I told him not to go!

No, you never mentioned that important piece of information!

A path...

A straight path to the Underworld, huh?

Even if it's supposed to be a test from his father.

this is too cruel!

Stop crying. You're irritating.

What will happen to Lord Sesshomaru?

Sacrifices are unavoidable as you train your sword.

Minions of the netherworld.

For these fools...

Healing Tenseiga!

Minions from the netherworld and the Meido Hound

are both demons of the Underworld.

He used the Healing Tenseiga to cut them down.

What?! Lord Sesshomaru used healing powers?

Which means that Rin's life was in danger?

Little demon.

Huh? Me?

My name is Jaken.

What is that human girl's relationship to Sesshomaru?

Her relationship?

Well, Rin is treated far better than I, despite my long years of service.

The little girl will die.

Lord Sesshomaru!

It appears that you're able to move.

That's the power of the Shikon shard, I suppose.

The path!

Take Rin and run.

Yes!

If I continue...

will I find something that will develop Meido Zangetsuha?

Umm...

What's going to be there when he reaches the Underworld?

Who knows.

I don't care to know.

However, stepping into the true darkness of the Underworld will be his end.

Not even Sesshomaru will be able to return.

much less the human children

whose lives will advance down the Path to the Underworld.

Rin...

Lord Sesshomaru...

Rin isn't breathing.

Sesshomaru, the darkness of the Underworld is right in front of you.

Is Rin dead?

She isn't breathing,

and her body's getting colder.

Set Rin down.

What is the meaning of this?

I cannot see any minions from the netherworld.

You cannot save her

if there aren't any minions from the netherworld for you to cut.

U-Umm, does that mean Rin will...

She will have to die.

That can't be.

Although, she may be revived if Tenseiga is used to cut down

the Guardian of the Underworld.

Is that true?!

But that will never happen.

The Guardian is beyond the darkness of the Underworld.

No one can return after stepping into the darkness.

In any case, the girl cannot be saved.

Why, Tenseiga?

Answer me!

Forgive me, Lord Sesshomaru.

I was with her and yet...

I shouldn't have brought her with me.

When I summoned Rin back from the netherworld after she was mauled by wolves,

I should have left her in a human village.

The darkness!

Lord Sesshomaru! Rin went!

So he leapt into the darkness...

What am I supposed to do if Lord Sesshomaru is gone?

Little demon.

It's Jaken. my lady.

I am not a cruel monster.

It would sadden me if my son were to lose his life while training with his sword.

I intend to open a path for him.

Oh! I would expect no less from the Lady Mother!

It's the outside world.

Come out, Sesshomaru.

If you continue forward, you will exit the Underworld.

However, this path will soon close.

Once it does, you will never be able to return to this world.

Kohaku, take this path outside.

Huh?

A path is forming!

It's Rin's scent.

Lord Sesshomaru, I'm coming with you!

Um, what about Lord Sesshomaru?

That fool is no concern of mine.

He doesn't need to return.

What?!

Ignoring his mother's kindness...

what a spiteful child.

I smell death.

Rin!

I presume that is the Guardian of the Underworld.

Don't cause me any unnecessary trouble.

I can't be bothered to look after you any further.

Yes.

I can't let my guard down.

If I relax for a second, I'll be carried away.

A mountain of corpses?!

Rin, I won't allow you to go over there!

He did it!

Rin, wake up.

Rin.

That's odd.

The little girl remains dead

after the Guardian of the Underworld has been cut down.

Little demon.

My name is Jaken.

You have no intention of remembering my name, do you?

Has the girl been revived by Tenseiga once before?

Y-Yes. What about it?

Then she couldn't possibly come back to life.

She can't be saved?

Lord Sesshomaru?

I cannot save her?

Tenseiga...

I let you die for this thing.

Nothing could ever be worth the cost

of Rin's life!

Tenseiga is...

The mountain of corpses!

It's almost like they're clinging to Tenseiga.

You also wish to be saved?

The corpses in the Underworld are being purified.

Meido Zangetsuha!

Huh?!

Zangetsuha opened the Path to the Underworld!

And it's bigger than before!

Lord Sesshomaru!

You've returned.

What's wrong, Sesshomaru?

You look dejected.

Tenseiga has grown as you wished and your path has expanded.

Shouldn't you rejoice?

Did you know that this would happen to Rin?

You've already used Tenseiga to revive the girl before, have you not?

Tenseiga can only call a person back from the dead once.

That's only natural.

A life is supposed to be limited.

It is not something for you to trifle with and renew over and over.

Sesshomaru, did you believe yourself to be a god?

That you need not fear death with Tenseiga in your hands?

You needed to learn

the desire to save the life of a loved one,

and the sorrow and fear which accompany that loss.

Sorrow and fear.

Your father said

Tenseiga is a sword for healing.

You may wield it as a weapon, but you must value life

and possess a compassionate heart if you are to bury your enemies.

That is the requirement of he who would wield Tenseiga.

a sword which can save hundreds of lives

while sending its enemies to the Path to the Underworld.

So Rin had to die,

for Lord Sesshomaru to learn compassion?

Little demon, are you crying?

It's Jaken.

Lord Sesshomaru by nature will never shed tears, so I must cry in his stead.

Oh, are you sad, Sesshomaru?

Don't expect another chance.

The light...

It's the little girl's life, which was left in the Underworld.

Rin!

Rin!

Lord...Sesshomaru?

You're fine now.

Yes...

Excuse me, Lady Mother,

allow me to thank you on Lord Sesshomaru's behalf!

Is Sesshomaru happy?

Very happy, I would presume.

All this fuss over a little human girl...

He's inherited one of his father's odder traits.

I'll follow them.

I'm sure that Lord Sesshomaru will be able to destroy Naraku!

Child...

I have a question for you.

You survived the Underworld:

a possibility for a demon, but an impossibility for a human.

My life is sustained by a Shikon Jewel shard.

I see.

Then remember this...

You are the same as that little girl.

Your life cannot be saved by Tenseiga.

Yes, I'll remember that.

Kikyo said that?

Protect the last shard.

Protect Kohaku's light.

You are the only one who can do this.

What did she mean when she said to protect his light?

I presume it means to purify the shard the way Lady Kikyo did.

Does that mean Kohaku's shard can still be used as a weapon to defeat Naraku?

To be honest, I don't know what Kikyo meant.

For now, all we can do is search for Kohaku.

Let's go, everyone.

I couldn't save Kikyo.

The woman you loved most in this world has died.

You must be sad.

sad enough to follow her into death.

A demon which feasts on sorrow and pain, the Flower Prince!

Inuyasha is lured in and trapped by dreams of Kikyo!

Next time on Inuyasha The Final Act: "Flowers Drenched in Sadness"

I merely showed you dreams you wish to see.

FLOWERS DRENCHED IN SADNESS
