## Their Relationship

### Hanyo no Yashahime

**The Gateway to the Past**

Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha are walking through somewhere in the Sacred Tree. Towa wonders if this is the Feudal Era. Moroha tells Towa 'no' as something's not right. Setsuna tells Towa and Moroha to stay alert. Towa tells Moroha that she bet she had them take the wrong path. Moroha tells Towa there was no wrong path because it's only one path. Setsuna calls out to Towa as she tells now is a good time to warn her that in the feudal age there is no room for hesitation. Towa hesitantly agrees with Setsuna. Setsuna tells Towa that if she doesn't kill her enemy they will kill her. Moroha tells Towa if it's just her then it's fine but they can't have her dragging them down with her. Towa becomes annoyed as she agrees with Moroha.

Setsuna says 'both of you'. Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha stop to see a light encased in branches. Moroha wonders what is this place. The light turns into an appearance of Kikyō. The spirit tells Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha that they've done well as it calls them 'Hanyō Princesses'. Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha prepared to fight. Setsuna asks the spirit was she referring to them. Towa asks Moroha if the spirit was Root Head. Moroha tells Towa that the spirit isn't as she doesn't sense any demon energy. Setsuna asks the spirit who was she. The spirit tells Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha that she is the Tree of Ages. Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha stand down. Moroha asks the spirit does it supposed to look like a priestess. The spirit tells Moroha 'no' as it is a borrowed appearance and it appears this form was created from the spirit of the Arrow of Sealing that was struck on its trunk as it believes the priestess' name was Kikyō. A flashback of Kikyō pinning Inuyasha to the Sacred Tree with a Sacred Arrow, putting him into a deep sleep, is revealed. Moroha questions the name 'Kikyo'. Setsuna asks the spirit was she the one who summoned them here. The spirit says 'yes' and she calls Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha 'Daughters of Sesshomaru' as she has a request for them. Moroha tells Towa that she is the daughter of Sesshōmaru then angrily tells the spirit that she's not Sesshōmaru's daughter. The spirit tells Moroha to listen to her tale until the end as she says her name. Moroha wonders how did the spirit know her name. Towa asks the spirit what was the request. The spirit tells Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha that it would like for them to slay a certain demon. Moroha agrees and wonders if it's Root Head. The spirit says 'no' as Root Head means nothing to her and the demon she would like them to slay is the Beast King Kirinmaru. Setsuna questions the name Kirinmaru.

The spirit tells Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha that Kirinmaru is attempting to twist time and swallow this world into the degenerate age and return it to nothingness as he is a king who, alongside the Great Dog-Demon, had long reigned over the demon beasts as Kirinmaru ruled in the East while the one who held the West was their grandfather the Great Dog-Demon. Moroha questions the Great Dog-Demon as it's a name that she's heard of. The spirit tells Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha that equal in strength the Great Dog-Demon and Kirinmaru ruled their lands while keeping watch over the other to maintain the balance in power however their father Sesshōmaru renounced his Great Dog Demon title and walked his own path and taking that as an opportunity as Kirinmaru plots to plunge this world into devastation and the power to travel across time would be necessary to fight him. Towa asks the spirit that's where they come in. The spirit confirms it as ones with deep ties to the Great Dog Demon and they must slay Kirinmaru and wonders if they will agree to this as she calls them 'Hanyō Princesses'. Moroha says that she's all for it but when she succeeds she'll be collecting a worthy bounty. The spirit asks Towa and Setsuna about the request. Setsuna tells the spirit that she refuses. Towa and Moroha become shocked. The spirit questions Setsuna that she will not do it. Setsuna tells the spirit that she will not and decline to accept. The spirit asks Setsuna for what reason. Setsuna tells the spirit that firstly she does not know this Sesshōmaru who she claim is her father and why in the world must they atone for such a demon’s failure and if Kirinmaru must be defeated then have that Sesshōmaru deal with it as she was asking the wrong people.

The spirit laughs as she tells Setsuna that it seems she was right to place confidence in her. Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha become surprised. The spirit tells Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha that Sesshōmaru cannot defeat Kirinmaru because the 2 Beast Kings currently walk the same path and if they defeat Kirinmaru then Sesshōmaru will emerge and similarly if they defeat Sesshōmaru as in other words they must defeat them at the same time. Setsuna questions about defeating Kirinmaru and Sesshōmaru at the same time. The spirit tells Setsuna that she wasn't atoning for Sesshōmaru's failure as she's telling her to defeat 2 demons who have taken the wrong path. Towa tells the spirit that's more reason they can't accept what she's asking them to do. Setsuna and Moroha become surprised. Towa tells the spirit that even if she and Setsuna never met Sesshōmaru but he is their father and to not ask his daughters to do something like that. The spirit asks Towa and Setsuna will they not accept her request. Towa tells the spirit 'yes' as she and Setsuna do not accept. Moroha becomes nervous. The spirit tells Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha that it seems they do not understand what will happen if they disobey the Tree of Ages. Towa tells the spirit that she won't let anyone stop us from their own mission. Setsuna tells the spirit they will do as they please. The spirit tells Towa and Setsuna that she ask one last time will they not slay Kirinmaru. Towa and Setsuna prepare to fight. Setsuna tells the spirit she will not repeat herself. Towa tells the spirit that she has no doubts either. Setsuna tells the spirit to let them pass or they'll cut her down. Moroha nervously asked Towa and Setsuna are they really doing this. The spirit tells Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha very well as fate is a continuously spinning wheel as they shall meet again. A bright light appeared. Towa says what. Moroha asks what's going on. The spirit tells Root Head to awake as the Rainbow Pearls it desires are getting away. Root Head awakens.

In the Sacred Tree, the Spirit of the Tree of Ages watches over Rin, who is still in suspended animation, with the Dream Butterfly circling overhead as Sesshōmaru stands nearby. The spirit says Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha have such fighting spirit as she's the Tree of Ages and yet they refused her wish.
