[Yeah, yeah, they're floating in the dog, we saw this last week]
----
3.
Sesshoumaru: 'The pallbearers of the afterlife!'
Sesshoumaru: 'Healing Tenseiga!'
----
4.
[Ooh, he cut the doggy in half this time]
----
5.
[Better check on the kids]
----
6.
Rin: "Ooh..."
Sesshoumaru: 'She's alive...'
Sessmom: "The pallbearers of the afterlife and that hellhound are both the same type of Hellfiend... So, they were cut down with the healing sword."
----
7.
Jaken: "Eh... Sesshoumaru-sama used Tenseiga's... healing power?"
Sessmom: "Yes. I can see what's going on inside with this in my hand."
Sessmom: "This Meidou-seki is connected to the Meidou, after all."
Jaken: 'Since he used the healing power, does that mean... something happened involving Rin's life?!'
Sessmom: "Little youkai."
Jaken: "Huh?! Me?! I am called Jaken, but..."
Sessmom: "That human girl. What is she to Sesshoumaru?"
----
8.
Jaken: "Even though you asked me what... It's just that, while I, Jaken, have been in his service for many years, Rin is always treated much more favorably..."
Sessmom: "That girl will die."
Jaken: "Eh?!"
Sessmom: "Whether or not she's just a girl to Sesshoumaru..."
Sessmom: "As long as she is not pulled out from the Meidou, her life is forfeit."
----
9.
Kohaku: "Ohh..."
Kohaku: "Sesshoumaru-sama..."
Kohaku: "Rin..."
Sesshoumaru: "Looks like you're able to move. The power of the Shikon shard... huh."
Kohaku: "Rin is..."
----
10.
Kohaku: "The road..."
----
11.
[Release... THE KRAKEN!!! ... or not]
----
12.
Sesshoumaru: "Take Rin and run!"
Kohaku: "Right!"
----
13.
Kohaku: "!"
Sesshoumaru: "Don't make me waste time unnecessarily."
Kohaku: "R... Right."
----
14.
Sesshoumaru: "This arm... is only meant to hold a sword."
Kohaku: "Right..."
Sesshoumaru: "Let's go. Don't get separated."
----
15.
Kohaku: "They've stopped attacking..."
Sesshoumaru: 'So they're telling us... to proceed.'
Sesshoumaru: 'So up ahead... is something that can raise the power of the Meidou Zangetsuha, then?'
Sessmom: "They can only proceed, as the return path has crumbled, and ahead of them is Hell."
----
16.
Jaken: "Ummmm, so when they reach Hell, there will be something there?"
Sessmom: "There is nothing there."
Jaken: "Huh?! But... isn't this a test in order to power up Tenseiga?!"
Sessmom: "Once they step into the true darkness of Hell, it's over... Not even Sesshoumaru will be able to come back again."
Sessmom: "Much less a human child, should they even take one step into the Meidou, their life would..."
----
17.
Kohaku: "Rin...?"
Kohaku: "Sesshoumaru-sama..."
Kohaku: "Rin... isn't breathing..."
----
18.
Sessmom: 'So, the girl has ceased breathing... Not to mention, Sesshoumaru...'
Sessmom: 'The darkness of Hell from which you can never return should you enter it... is right before your eyes.'
preview: "The broken path forcing them to proceed, the darkness of Hell is right before their eyes. With Rin on the verge of death and Sesshoumaru forced to act... what will he do?!"
