## Their Relationship

### Hanyo no Yashahime

**Farewell Under the Lunar Eclipse**

From a distance, sounds of babies crying can be heard from the distance. The moon is currently under a Lunar Eclipse as Sesshōmaru and Jaken look over the village and the sky. Jaken tells Sesshōmaru looks like they’re born. Sesshōmaru looks behind him to see Zero. Jaken asks Zero who goes there. Zero tells Sesshōmaru that it's been a while. Jaken asks Zero just who was she and answer his question. Zero steps forward as she asks Sesshōmaru how was his mother doing as she hasn't seen her in years and the word is that he had twins or was it hanyō twins. Sesshōmaru stares silently at Zero. Zero tells Sesshōmaru that she can already picture the surprise on Kirinmaru's face that the great lord Sesshōmaru known to despise humans and hanyōs has taken a human as his wife and perhaps he should hide his precious daughters before he awakens. Sesshōmaru asks Zero that is it not her who wants his twin daughters. Zero questions Sesshōmaru that he remembered her name and she's flattered. Sesshōmaru pulls out his Bakusaiga and attacks Zero but her appearance disappears and a shikigami is sliced in half. Jaken questions that Zero was a puppet. Sesshōmaru places his Bakusaiga back in his sheath as he tells Jaken that it's boorish. Zero’s aura lingers in the sky as she tells Sesshōmaru that once the lunar eclipse ends the Grim Comet will approach for the first time in 500 years and he should use his Bakusaiga as it's his choice whether to heed her warning or not but as someone humiliated by Tōga she'd be lying if she said she didn't wish to see his entire family suffer in agony and wishes him to best of luck before she vanishes. Jaken questions just who does Zero think she is.

**Secret of the Rainbow Pearls**

Taking place 222 years in the past at Kirinmaru's Ship, Riku is sitting on top as he watches an island. In his office, Kirinmaru and Zero are sitting together while the Sacred Jewel is on a stand nearby. Konton and Kyūki stand before Kirinmaru and Zero. Kyūki tells Kirinmaru that their sworn enemy Tōga has been spotted at Kamakura. Kirinmaru tells Kyūki that he sees and wonders is that so. Konton tells Kirinmaru what's more that he heard Tōga has sustained grave injuries from battling Shishinki and Ryūkotsusei and if they move now they may easily be able to strike Tōga down. Kirinmaru becomes annoyed while Zero looks at him. Kyūki urges Kirinmaru for them put an end to Tōga and they can finally rule the entire land of Japan. Konton tells Kirinmaru that they only need his orders. Kirinmaru angrily calls Konton and Kyūki as he blasts them with a powerful wave, causing the doors to open up. Kirinmaru stands up and walks forward as he tells Konton and Kyūki that if he were to challenge Tōga to battle it cannot be when he is wounded and weak. Kirinmaru stops near Konton and Kyūki and tells them a battle must be won with honor and wonders is that too much for fools to understand. Konton and Kyūki bow to Kirinmaru. Kirinmaru repeatedly calls on Riku and wonders if he's here. Riku teleports right in front of Kirinmaru immediately. Riku tells Kirinmaru right here before he bows down. Konton and Kyūki become annoyed with Riku. Kirinmaru orders Riku to gather the finest medicinal herbs he can find and to deliver them to Tōga and hurry before he walks away. Riku complies and uses the flick of his earring to teleport away, following Kirinmaru's orders. Kirinmaru tells Konton and Kyūki that a battle is meaningless unless you pour your all into it and winning with underhanded tactics will only leave you empty as he walks out. Konton and Kyūki agree with Kirinmaru as they bow to him. Zero laughs as she approaches Konton and Kyūki and questions them when will Kirinmaru learn to compromise as he troubles them to no end as she picks up the Sacred Jewel. Zero tells Konton and Kyūki that if Kirinmaru weren't so obstinate they would be ruling the land.

Back at Kirinmaru's ship, Riku delivers news to Zero that Tōga died. Zero becomes surprised and asks Riku that he's telling her Tōga died. Zero shows emotions of sadness while looking down at the Sacred Jewel and questions how could that be as it's impossible and were demons not fated to journey an endless path and to wander through an eternal destiny and curses as she picks up the Sacred Jewel. Zero realized that the Sacred Jewel’s ominous prophecy has come true after all. Riku tells Zero that Tōga died but Izayoi and the hanyō child survived. Zero looks at Riku and tells him that she knows and those who are loved are fated to end in beauty before tears eyes ran down her face. Riku asks Zero what was it coming from her eyes as it's very pretty and tries to speculate her eyes up close. Zero becomes upset at Riku as she slaps his hand away from her face and questions him that he thinks her tears are pretty and questions he has poor taste. Riku questions Zero about tastes. Zero tells Riku to try and use that head of his. Riku wonders about his head as he moves his head from side to side. Zero is still emotional and speaks to the Sacred Jewel in her hand. Zero tells the Sacred Jewel that she doesn’t need demon powers, doesn’t want her grief, and in fact she doesn't even want her heart and she shall never shed these wretched tears again. Zero tells the Sacred Jewel to grant her wish and makes that exact wish upon it. A teardrop from Zero’s eyes falls on the Sacred Jewel as Zero makes her wish and upon contact the 7 Rainbow Pearls are made from the Sacred Jewel as it sealed her emotions and powers. Riku says the 7 Rainbow Pearls are pretty. Zero places the Sacred Jewel down and walks away before she tells Riku that the 7 Rainbow Pearls contains her demon powers and the power of the Shikon Jewel and good riddance now she is no longer a demon. Riku calls out to Zero. Zero asks Riku what is it. Riku asks Zero if she's not sad. Zero asks Riku about what. Riku becomes surprised and tells Zero that it's nothing.

**The Stolen Seal**

Around 500 years ago in the Heian period, at the manor of Sesshōmaru's mother's where she and Zero were waiting as Tōga and Kirinmaru were waiting for the Grim Comet. Tōga and Kirinmaru jumped forward and destroyed the Grim Comet with Blasting Barrage and Meidō Zangetsuha then looked at each other. Tōga watches Kirinmaru sleep on the ground until Zero appears. Zero tells Tōga that the Grim Comet is receding and this is thanks to him and Kirinmaru. Tōga explains to Zero that it's mostly thanks to Kirinmaru as he really didn't do much. Zero tells Tōga that he's being too modest and Kirinmaru sleeps so carelessly. Tōga tells Zero that it's because she's here to look after Kirinmaru. Zero laughs and tells Tōga that flattery will get him nowhere. Tōga tells Zero that he shall return to the Western domain and bids her 'farewell' as he prepares to left. Zero tells Tōga that sometimes she asks herself how long they must continue this. Tōga tells Zero that he wonders as they are fated to journey an endless path and who knows where it will take them. Zero asks Tōga does he thinks they will have to welcome the end one day. Tōga tells Zero that no matter where this leads them or what sort of end greets them she was who she was and he would like for her to remain that way. And with those final words, Tōga makes his departure to the West. Zero questions Tōga's advice and decides to herself that she will honor his advice.

At a ship, Kirinmaru is in the office reading a book as he touches the scar Towa had inflicted on him when Zero entered the room. Zero sees that Kirinmaru has a wound on his face and asks him where did he get it. Kirinmaru calls out to Zero. Zero asks Kirinmaru to not her that Sesshōmaru's daughters gave that to him. Kirinmaru tells Zero just so but Towa and Setsuna are still pups who haven't even fully grown their fangs as could barely entertain him let alone fulfilling the prophecy. Zero questions Kirinmaru this before she starts to leave. Kirinmaru calls out to Zero. Zero tells Kirinmaru to not stop her as she's only going for a walk. Kirinmaru tells Zero to not get too carried away. Zero questions Kirinmaru if he has no regard for her safety. Kirinmaru tells Zero that they should wait for Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha to grow a little more. Zero questions Kirinmaru if he doesn't know anything as the girls' powers have been sealed. Kirinmaru tells Zero that does know about that and wonders if Moroha has inherited Tōga's blood as she was still being around led around by his blood and has yet to master it. Zero tells Kirinmaru that's the shihanyō girl as she's talking about the hanyōs. Kirinmaru becomes amused. Zero tells Kirinmaru if the seal is released then even he can’t get away with just a scratch and she shall go find out during her walk before she exits the room. Kirinmaru stares at Zero.

At night, Riku and Zero are at Izayoi's burned mansion. Zero picks up the soil/ashes on the ground and essentially speaking to Tōga as she says this is who she was after all and wonders that's fine and all that remains are the finishing touches for Towa as she pours the soil/ashes back to the ground. Riku appears near Zero.

**The Three Princesses Strike Back**

At night, Riku and Zero are at Izayoi's burned mansion. Zero picks up the soil/ashes on the ground and essentially speaking to Tōga as she says this is who she was after all and wonders that's fine and all that remains are the finishing touches for Towa as she pours the soil/ashes back to the ground.

In the Underworld, Zero appears and realizes this is the Underworld and she sees. At her palace, Sesshōmaru’s mother is able to see Zero pass through the Underworld with her Meidō Stone. Sesshōmaru's mother asks Zero was she planning to pass without even a greeting but they were not that close she supposes and wonders that age has finally got to her as it's auspicious. Zero tells Sesshōmaru's mother 'no' as she was killed by Setsuna. Sesshōmaru’s mother laughs at Zero and tells her that is hilarious. Zero tells Sesshōmaru's mother that she didn't say a joke. Sesshōmaru's mother tells Zero that she got so wound up over Towa and Setsuna and that's what meddling gets her. Zero tells Sesshōmaru's mother that she may be right and regardless as she's feeling much better now and that's because Sesshōmaru must be feeling downright miserable. Sesshōmaru's mother asks Zero is that so. Zero tells Sesshomaru's mother that the human who is Sesshōmaru's wife is still connected to her and if she dies then Rin dies as well. Sesshōmaru's mother becomes annoyed. Zero tells Sesshōmaru's mother that this is so delightful and she's sure Rin will soon pass this way. Sesshōmaru's mother is still annoyed. Zero asks Sesshōmaru’s mother when Izayoi passed through the Underworld in the past how did she feel and didn't she feel just as relieved as she was now and didn't her heart just dance. Sesshōmaru's mother's head turned slightly. Zero tells Sesshōmaru's mother that after all Izayoi is the woman who led Tōga to his death and she couldn't help but feel disdain. Sesshōmaru's mother tells Zero how boorish. Zero tells Sesshōmaru's mother that these are her last moments and wonders can't she spare her the falsehoods at the very least and an offering to the woman who wasn't chosen by Tōga. Sesshōmaru’s mother tells Zero that she has no interest in humans and she has no words to offer her. Zero tells Sesshōmaru's mother that she sees and walks away. Sesshōmaru’s mother asks Zero that she has no offering and wonders what was it that she wanted to do. Zero tells Sesshōmaru's mother that she just wanted to protect Kirinmaru from humans and hanyōs before she walks away. Sesshōmaru's mother tells Zero that she's telling her to spare her falsehoods. Zero tells Sesshōmaru's mother that she still talks like she can see through everything and she doesn't like her after all. Sesshōmaru's mother tells Zero that she shall take that as a compliment. Zero tells Sesshōmaru's mother that she hates human and hanyōs especially those who did nothing more than inherited Tōga's blood as she walks the path of the Underworld. Sesshōmaru's mother tells Zero that it was jealousy and how incredibly human of her. Zero questions Sesshōmaru's mother about a human and becomes furious.

In the midst of the moment, Zero in the Underworld is infuriated by Sesshōmaru’s mother and asks her what part of her makes her human-like. Sesshōmaru’s mother tells Zero that women who burn from love and how pitiful. Sesshōmaru uses his Tenseiga to slice the minions of the Underworld that surrounds Zero’s corpse. Towa and Moroha become surprised. Towa wonders did Sesshōmaru just cut something. Zero disappears from the Underworld and comes back to life. Moroha questions that Zero came back to life. Rin, who’s eyes and mouth were still open in the Sacred Tree, immediately closes once again the moment Zero was brought back to life. Jaken tells Rin that was a close one. Setsuna becomes surprised and wonders how did Zero come back to life. Moroha tells Towa and Setsuna that it's the Tenseiga as she's heard rumors about it. Towa questions Moroha about the Tenseiga. Moroha tells Towa and Setsuna that she doesn't know the details but Sesshōmaru's Tenseiga is a sword that saves the lives of the weak. Towa realizes that's why Zero came back to life. Zero becomes angry at Sesshōmaru and tells him that it was him. Towa and Moroha become shocked. Zero stands up from the ground and tells Sesshōmaru to not tell her that he used the Tenseiga. Sesshōmaru looks at his Tenseiga. Zero repeatedly tells Sesshōmaru that she won’t forgive him and wonders of all things how could he have used Tōga's fang to bring her back to life. Sesshōmaru looks at Zero and tells her that he knew of no other method. Riku tells Zero to calm down. Zero summons the seven Rainbow Pearls back to her. Seeing Zero in an emotional, raging state; Towa relates herself with Zero. Towa thinks to herself that living in this world is hard and if you don’t follow the set rules then you’re treated as an outcast and she was so tired of it when she was in the modern era. Zero tells Sesshōmaru that she won't forgive him. Seeing Zero in an emotional, raging state, Towa thinks to herself that Zero is feeling now is probably like how she felt back then. Zero tells Sesshōmaru that she won't forgive him before she uses her staff and out of anger to break Sesshōmaru’s Tenseiga. Sesshōmaru becomes shocked as he calls out to his Tenseiga. Zero tells Sesshōmaru that she lost her sense of self and she had always thought to leave disposing of his daughters to Kirinmaru but she can’t take it anymore as she will deal with Towa and Setsuna herself and she will no longer falter as this is who she is after all as an aura surrounds her. Zero commands Riku to bring her the Rainbow Pearls the source of her demon powers. Riku tells Zero to wait.

**The Silver-Scale Curse**

At Zero's Mansion, Zero walks over to Riku and grabs his face. Zero asks Kirinmaru what does he think as she's collected the Rainbow Pearls as she knows he can see her and that he can hear her. Riku becomes confused and asks Zero what was she talking about. At his ship, Kirinmaru smirks. Riku asks Zero what's going on. Zero asks Riku that he hasn't noticed as although she's sure no one was nice enough to tell him as he was originally a horn cut off from Kirinmaru. Riku confirms this with Zero and tells that he was an abandoned piece of trash. Zero explains to Riku that it all took place 600 years ago in the Heian period. In a flashback, Tōga and Kirinmaru are battling each other before Tōga cuts off one of Kirinmaru's horns. Zero explains to Riku that Kirinmaru was injured during his battle with Tōga and he is the horn that was cut off then and in other words he is a part of Kirinmaru's body and therefore everything he sees and hears goes directly to him. Riku becomes surprised. Zero asks Kirinmaru isn't that right. Kirinmaru tells Zero that he cannot hide anything from her. Zero scornfully tells Riku to not ever show his face in front of her again unless he wants her to kill him that is as she lets go of his face and walks away. Riku is still confused. Zero tells Riku to use that head of his to figure it out. Riku calls out to Zero. Zero tells Riku to not come near her anymore. Riku tells Zero that fate has decided to prevent them from seeing each other again before he leaves. Zero walks forward.

**The Barrier of Mount Musubi**

In a flashback, Kirinmaru he has returned with his slice right arm, left antler, and Rion. Kirinmaru places Rion down before he walks past Konton, Tōtetsu, Tōkotsu, and Kyūki. Inside the ship, Zero is sitting in the chair. Zero tells Kirinmaru that she's glad he made it back alive. Kirinmaru takes his right arm out of his mouth and asks Zero just who was Tōga before he tosses his right arm at her feet. Kirinmaru tells Zero that he's spanned the globe but not once has he ever been defeated as he walks forward. Zero stands up from the chair and picks up the right arm then walks forward tells Kirinmaru that it's true as she would never have thought there was one so powerful in this island. Rion walks into the room. Zero walks towards Rion and tells her 'there, there' as she must've been so scared as she rubs her head. Kirinmaru becomes angry as he breaks furniture. Kirinmaru angrily says today is a day he will never forget as every time he sees the horn the seething anger within him will be etched into his heart and this anger is not hatred toward Tōga but to reprimand his own inexperience as he was defeated tonight because he neglected his training before he drops his horn. The horn started to grow. Kirinmaru tells the horn from this day on each time he sees him he will recall the humiliation and train himself further. The horn grows into humanoid man. Kirinmaru asks the humanoid man is that clear. The humanoid man bows and tells Kirinmaru that he yearns for this day when he can discard this form. Zero asks Kirinmaru has he forgotten what Tōga said to him as he really should stop taking Rion out with him all the time as she hugs her. Kirinmaru tells Zero that he only wants to show Rion the vast world and have her see his battles as no matter how powerful the enemy is there is no problem at all if he keeps her protected. Zero tells Kirinmaru that tonight he was defeated and he may be the strongest but he's not invincible. Kirinmaru tells Zero that her words hurt his ears and if she has anything further to say then say it to Riku here. Riku introduces himself to Zero. Zero tells Riku that he can start by disposing of the arm for her as the bugs that seek demon energy are such a nuisance. Riku asks Zero where should he dispose of the arm.
