Episode 5
Meanwhile, Sesshomaru comes alone to the cave of the sword smith Totosai. With out declaring his presence, the demon lord enters the cave and sits down. He says, �Old fool, this worthless sword has been behaving strangely. It is emitting an unusual energy and it is quite annoying. Explain this.� The smith takes the sword and feels its pain. He says, �Something must have happened to it. What were you up to when it first began to act like this?� Sesshomaru relates the tale of his visit to the home of his half-brother and Totosai thinks. At length, he says, �So it started complaining when you learned of Izayoi�s death. That must be it then. The sword wished to revive her as it would have had your father wielded it.� Sesshomaru asks, �Do you mean to tell me that along with being unable to harm my enemies, this sword does not even obey my will? My father is dead; I am its master now. And what of the other sword, the steel cleaving fang? Where is the Tetsusaiga? Where is my father�s tomb?� The old smith says, �Seeing but unseen, protected but unknown to its protector, that is all I can tell you because it is all I know. Besides, your father meant for that sword to pass to Inuyasha. You have your heirloom, be proud of the mighty Tenseiga.� Sesshomaru says, �This sword is not mighty, it is worthless. I should discard it now and be done with it.� The smith says, �Don�t do that!� The demon asks, �Why not?� �Why not what?� Totosai asks. Sesshomaru says, �Why should I not discard the sword, what we were just talking about.� The old man asks, �Were we talking about something? Do I know you?� The demon lord gives the smith a lump on the head and leaves. Totosai thinks to himself, �You couldn�t discard the Tenseiga if you wanted to, and you�d be a fool to try. Aside from that, my performance was pathetic. I have to work on my senility.�
