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. Setsuna asks Towa if it was really okay for her to hand over her Rainbow Pearl like that. Towa tells Setsuna that the Silver Rainbow Pearl is hers afterall and even without it she still have enough demon power as she activates her Energy Blade.

Setsuna tells Towa that's not it and with those Rainbow Pearls Riku will have immense demon power. Towa unactivates his Energy Blade and tells Setsuna that Riku is giving them back to their rightful owner. Setsuna tells Towa that they can only hope that the rightful owner won't use the Rainbow Pearls for evil. Towa becomes shocked. Moroha comes dragging Tōtetsu’s head towards Towa and Setsuna and asks wasn't Riku working with Kirinmaru. Towa becomes more shocked as she realizes that Kirinmaru is their enemy. Towa runs off into the woods after Riku and calls out him as she changed her mind and to give her back the Silver Rainbow Pearl. Riku turns around as it seems like he heard Towa’s voice and he contently looks down at his hand where he now possesses the Green, Purple, Blue, Orange, and Silver Rainbow Pearls and walks off. Towa continues to call out for Riku to wait.

**The Stolen Seal**

**The Three Princesses Strike Back**

Setsuna ends up encountering Riku. Setsuna tells Riku that she knew it and she wasn't wrong when she thought he smelled like Kirinmaru. Riku asks Setsuna would she honor him with a fight. Setsuna asks Riku was he fine with her as Towa's the one he really wants. Riku tells Setsuna that she got him where it hurts. Setsuna and Riku are also currently in an intense battle with each other. Setsuna uses her Cyclone Burst at Riku but he deflects it, making her surprised. Setsuna uses her Scourge of Swallows on Riku but he blocks it. Riku smirks.

Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha gather up and surrounds Riku and Zero. Riku tells Zero that looks like they've been surrounded. Zero tells Riku that at least he should be able to get away. Riku tells Zero that he would never such a heartless thing and addresses her as 'Madam'. Towa becomes and tells Riku that the one who he said looked after him is Zero. Riku confirms this with Zero. Moroha tells Towa that's why she shouldn’t have given Riku the Silver Rainbow Pearl. Setsuna asks Riku and Zero that they can assume that both of them are in league with Kirinmaru. Riku tells Setsuna that he can neither confirm nor deny that. Myōga jumps on Moroha’s shoulder and tells her that it's out of the question to battle at the place where Tōga passed away and she should retreat for now. Moroha tells Myōga that she gets that it's not good to fight here but, Myōga asks Moroha what is it. Moroha tells Myōga that doesn't matter right now and wonders why back down from a fight they could win. Myōga tells Moroha that she's a disrespectful granddaughter to Tōga and why did he bother before he bounces off making his escape. Moroha says there Myōga goes. Setsuna questions Riku why doesn't he return the Silver Rainbow Pearl that he took from Towa. Zero tells Riku to go ahead and give Silver Rainbow Pearl back. Riku tells Zero that she has to be joking as he went through so much trouble to gather all the Rainbow Pearls here. Zero becomes confused. Riku turns to Zero. Zero becomes shocked and asks Riku that he's gathered all the Rainbow Pearls and it wasn't just the Silver Rainbow Pearl he stole. Riku tells Zero 'no' as he has 5 Rainbow Pearls on him plus the Gold Rainbow Pearl in Setsuna’s right eye and the Red Rainbow Pearl in Moroha’s Beni. Zero says how humiliating and to think all her tears returned to her at the place where Tōga died as this must be some kind of fate as well. Riku tells Zero that he was meaning to hand the Rainbow Pearls to her after he had them all but as he takes out the 5 Rainbow Pearls in a bag. Zero becomes angry and tells Riku how dare he. Riku becomes surprised. Zero tells Riku how dare he bring back the 7 Rainbow Pearls to her and she will show him who the true owner of the Rainbow Pearls are as she uses her powers to gather all 7 of the Pearls, including Setsuna’s Gold Rainbow Pearl and Moroha’s Red Rainbow Pearl that leaves their possession without hesitation.

All of the 7 Rainbow Pearls currently floats and spins on top of Zero’s head. Setsuna’s Blood Blade on her arm immediately reacts after the Gold Rainbow Pearl had been forced out of her eye. Towa calls out to Setsuna. Setsuna’s Blood Blade currently stretches out of her arm, intimidating her for a moment. Setsuna thinks to herself the Blood Blade started acting up as seen as the Gold Rainbow Pearl flew out. Zero wickedly starts attacking Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha with her staff and tells them to not get so full of themselves. Setsuna tells Zero to stop it. Setsuna jumps in the air while her Blood Blade has grown out exceptionally from her arm. Setsuna uses her Blood Blade to directly strike Zero and blood gushes out from her shoulder causing Zero to immediately faint. Setsuna’s attack leaves Riku, Towa, and Moroha completely shocked and the 7 Rainbow Pearls that was floating around Zero’s head falls to the ground as well.

At Izayoi's burned mansion, Zero is taking her last breaths after being stricken by Setsuna’s Blood Blade. Riku repeatedly calls out to Zero and tells her to hang in there as he shakes her.

Back at Izayoi's burned mansion, Riku calls out to Zero before he gently holds and places down her body on the ground. Shortly after, Sesshōmaru appears in front of all of them. Towa and Moroha call out to Sesshōmaru. Sesshōmaru asks Setsuna why didn’t she use her own blade. Setsuna responds to Sesshōmaru by showing her the Blood Blade in her arm and tells him that she cut Zero with it and wonders is this not her own blade. Sesshōmaru walks forward and draws his Tenseiga in front of Zero’s dead body as he sees beings from the Underworld.

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. In the midst of Riku hesitating Zero’s commands, Kirinmaru makes his grand entrance to Sesshōmaru, Riku, Zero, Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha. Zero becomes surprised as she calls out to Kirinmaru. Towa says she was wondering when Kirinmaru would show up. Moroha says no wonder Myōga bolted when he could. The episode concludes with Kirinmaru’s grand entrance.
