**The Delicious Feudal Monks**

**Trap of the Two Perils**

**Sesshōmaru and Kirinmaru**

**Secret of the Rainbow Pearls**

Tōtetsu is currently on his cloud and notices that tonight is a New Moon and recalls Konton telling him that Towa loses her powers on the night of a New Moon and tonight is a perfect night to take his revenge. Tōtetsu holds up the Orange Rainbow Pearl in his possession and tells it to lead him to Towa and realizes she's around below. Tōtetsu is on his way towards the Forest of the Sacred Tree.

Before Riku is able to place his hand on Towa, Tōtetsu tells Towa there she is. Riku and Towa look to see Tōtetsu swiftly comes down from the sky with his blade. Tōtetsu says that he turns up out of the blue. Towa becomes surprised and wonders if that's a joke. Riku says what a complete lack of taste. As Tōtetsu strikes down, Riku pushes Towa out of safety as he jumps out of Tōtetsu’s way. Towa groans in pain. Totetsu questions Riku that he's here too and he should've just died. Riku calls Tōtetsu 'a wretched bug' and he got in the way of his and Towa's date and he won't forgive him for this. Tōtetsu tells Riku that he's the one who's wretched and a piece of trash and to not get cheeky with him as he lunges at Riku. Towa calls out to Riku. Riku tells Tōtetsu this is why he hates him before he uses the power of his earring to summon a sword of his own and accepts the fight before lunges at Tōtetsu. Tōtetsu and Riku clash swords. Tōtetsu asks Riku that he wonders what he would taste like and maybe he'd taste the same as Lord Kirinmaru. Towa questions about Riku and Kirinmaru would taste the same. Riku asks Tōtetsu that why doesn't he keep his mouth shut. Tōtetsu tells Riku that he guesses he'll find out by eating him before he uses his suction of wind. Riku uses his earring to not only teleport and protect himself from Tōtetsu’s suction of wind but also summons miasma bugs and throws them in Tōtetsu’s mouth to poison him and kicks him then makes him lose his balance. Riku tells Tōtetsu to have some poison bees instead and runs away. Totetsu gets up and becomes annoyed of the miasma bugs before he recklessly cuts down trees with his sword. Riku saves Towa from a falling tree that Tōtetsu recklessly cuts down and they land on a tree. Riku asks Towa if he was okay. Towa tells Riku 'thank you'. Tōtetsu turns towards Riku and Towa before he spits out the miasma bugs at them. Riku shields Towa from the miasma bugs, hitting his back. Towa calls out to Riku. Riku is injured by Tōtetsu and his back is dripping in blood from the miasma bugs. Towa holds on to Riku as she tells him to hang in there before running off with him to safety and away from Tōtetsu. Tōtetsu slows down due to inhaling the miasma bugs and is unable to catch up to Towa and Riku.

Riku senses danger and tells Towa this way as he carries her out of the way when Totetsu shows back up as he attacks them. Riku and Towa land in different places. Towa asks Riku if he was okay. Riku tells Towa to run away even though he himself is still badly injured. Tōtetsu picks up his sword and calls Riku a castaway puppet and questions that he still betrayed them as Zero, Kirinmaru, and himself will forgive him for his actions as he lunges towards him. Riku becomes annoyed as this really isn't to his taste as he draws out his sword again by the chime of his earring and aiming to attack Tōtetsu. As Tōtetsu and Riku are about to clash, Moroha’s Crimson Dragon Wave and Setsuna’s Scourge of Swallows aims in the middle of Tōtetsu and Riku. Tōtetsu and Towa runs but is blown away. Riku distances himself behind the trees. Towa wonders what happened. Setsuna, Moroha, and Kirara stand by Towa’s side as the sun begins to rise. Moroha asks Towa if she was okay. Towa realizes that it's Setsuna and Moroha. Totetsu groans in pain and sees that Setsuna and Moroha are here. Towa tells Setsuna and Moroha that they are late. Moroha becomes annoyed as she tells Towa that was she kidding as her and Setsuna been looking all over for her. Towa becomes surprised. Setsuna questions Towa that didn't she tell her not to wander off. Towa tells Setsuna sorry.

Towa notices her hair and eyes are changes back to normal as the sun is up. Setsuna hands Towa her sword. Towa tells Tōtetsu sorry as it is sudden. Moroha tells Towa and Setsuna let's make this quick. Setsuna tells Tōtetsu that she hopes he's ready. Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha draw out their blades to fight Tōtetsu. Tōtetsu tells Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha that they're kidding as he has plans to live a long life before he makes a cloud and begins to escape. Tōtetsu tells Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha that he'll swallow all of them at once. As Tōtetsu attempts to make his get away, Riku throws a sword from out of the air and beheads Tōtetsu, where Tōtetsu’s head, body and the Orange Rainbow Pearl falls to the ground. Riku walks towards Totetsu and tells him that he only kill the ones he loves but he'll have to make an exception for him as he takes the Orange Rainbow Pearl. Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha became shocked. The chime of Riku’s earring rings and he teleports in front of Towa. Towa calls out to Riku. Riku walks over to Towa and gives her a hug as he tells her that he's glad that she's okay and he was so scared that he couldn’t help himself. Towa becomes shocked. Setsuna and Moroha point their blades towards Riku. Setsuna tells Riku to step away because he has the same scent as Kirinmaru. Riku looks at Setsuna and questions her about another tasteless comment. After hugging Towa for a few seconds more, Riku pushes her to the ground and teleports further away from the girls, on top of a tree to leave. Towa runs up to Riku as she calls out to him. Riku looks at Towa. Towa tells Riku that she may not know about love and she knows that she likes him. Riku becomes surprised. Towa's Silver Rainbow Pearl glows in her left eye before she takes it out and happily throws it to Riku. Setsuna and Moroha become surprised. Riku catches the Silver Rainbow Pearl and is shocked to see it in his hand. Riku calls out to Towa and tells her what a tremendously tasteful thing for her to do. Towa tells Riku to give her regards to his madam and asks to overlook Setsuna and Moroha’s Rainbow Pearls. Riku laughs and tells Towa that she's a strange person. Towa asks Riku that he thinks so as she thinks he's pretty strange too Riku tells Towa that as a living being he’s an imitation at best. Towa questions Riku about being an imitation. Riku tells Towa 'yes'. Towa tells Riku that she can barely call herself a hanyo so she doesn't think he has to worry and he's just himself. Riku questions Towa that he's just himself and for an abandoned puppet like himself those words are too kind. Riku makes his departure and tells Towa 'thank you' for her Silver Rainbow Pearl and if fate allows it they shall meet again. Moroha is shocked and tells Towa that she couldn't believe she'd handed over her treasured Rainbow Pearl but she wonders if she can take Tōtetsu’s head there and if so then Riku's a nice fellow. Moroha kicks Tōtetsu’s head before dodging it when he tries to bite her. Moroha punches Tōtetsu’s head. Tōtetsu tells Moroha that he'll eat her. Moroha asks Tōtetsu that how is he going to do that when he doesn't have a belly and to give up already before she punches him. Tōtetsu becomes unconscious. Moroha happily says she doesn't have to worry about food for a while. Towa laughs nervously.
