Origin Of The Species: New Blood
Episode 11
Meanwhile, not too far away, another �family� comes together. Kyoubou lands at the lip of Naraku�s cave and Tattoimaru dismounts. Naraku comes out and says, �Welcome back, my son. Have you succeeded?� Bowing, the boy says, �My master, I have Giman�s shard; and the other with which it had once been joined. I used it to increase my control over this demon. I had hoped to offer you a gift, but he has been difficult to manage. The female of his species is only injured, not dead; therefore I cannot give you her heart. Allow me to keep these shards and I shall improve my control over him.� Naraku nods, �They have been purified. Whatever you have done has still not made them tainted enough to appeal to me. Keep them; you have earned them. As I said, you have succeeded where my incarnations failed. However,� he turns to a shadowy form inside the cave, �that does not mean you should lose hope. You shall begin your task now. But first, I command you to tell me what you are thinking right now.� The figure steps forward; he says, �I was just considering how much I despise you.� Naraku laughs and says, �Good! Now go forth and do not fail me.� The other bows to Naraku and says, �Yes,� loading the word with scorn, �m�lord.�
