## Their Relationship

### Hanyo no Yashahime

**Inuyasha: Since Then**

A tiny piece of Root Head grows rapidly inside the Sacred Tree.

**The Dream Butterfly**

In the Feudal era, Kaede questions that Mistress Three-Eyes, Setsuna, and Moroha vanished near the Sacred Tree. Kohaku confirms it and asks Hisui to show Kaede. Hisui complies and explains he found this attached to the root of the Sacred Tree. Kaede realizes that's Root Head. Kohaku realizes as he knew he had seen it before. Kohaku tells Hisui that Root Head is a demon they've slain back when he was a baby. Kaede realizes that if Root Head really did attach itself to the Sacred Tree then this could be a problem. Hisui questions if a demon's tree root can absorb the powers of it's host like the Hitōkon. Kaede agrees and explains attached itself to the Tree of Ages of all things. Hisui wonders about the Tree of Ages. Kohaku explains he's heard of the Sacred Tree being called the Tree of Ages but wonders why. Kaede asks Kohaku does he know about the Bone Eater's Well. Kohaku asks Kaede if she was referring to the well Inuyasha and Kagome used to travel through. Kaede says it's been 15 years since it's become defunct but according to Kagome that well had the power to travel across time. Kohaku questions about travelling across time. Kaede explains Kagome and Inuyasha simply described it as going to 'the other world'. Hisui wonders about the other world. Kaede explains that the well was made using wood from the Tree of Ages and if Root Head was attached to the Tree of Ages then it may have absorbed the Tree of Ages' ability to cross into the other world. Kohaku and Hisui become shocked. Kohaku realized Setsuna and the others may have gone to. Kaede says to Tokyo the village Kagome originally came from. Hisui asks Kaede can Setsuna and Moroha even come back from a place like that. Kaede tells Hisui she's afraid it would be no easy task.

**The Gateway to the Past**

In the bowels of the Sacred Tree of Ages, Rin is in a deep slumber. A female voice says a decade's worth of time has passed and the hanyō princesses travel under her feet and if her predictions are correct, Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha will save the world. The female voice takes the appearance of Kikyō as it watches Rin. The spirit says for now she shall let Root Head dream as she lets Root Head sleep.

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. The spirit asks Sesshōmaru was he sure about this and if he forsake's Rin then she'll never awaken. Sesshōmaru walks away. The spirit says that she suppose this is one path as well and perhaps staying like this would be best in the end.
