(voice over recap)
Myoga- Torn between the demon and the human worlds, half-demon InuYasha hopes to become all demon, with the Jewel of Four Souls. Despising such a younger brother, cold hearted Sesshomaru concocts a plan. Seeing his long dead mother in a sky born carriage, InuYasha reacts with rage and sorrow, surely his human mother cannot deserve such suffering.
(flashback recap)
Izyaio- Oh!
InuYasha- Nice try jerk! She�s been dead for years and we both know it! Like I�d really fall for some stupid trick like that!
Sesshomaru- A trick is it?
Jaken- You�re who�s stupid. Recalling spirits from the netherworld is a simple task if you are Lord Sesshomaru. He was even so kind as to give her flesh. And yet her own son would deny it. How sad to be mother to one such as you!
Izayoi- I have come back InuYasha! Back from the world of the dead. [groans]
InuYasha-Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!
Izayoi- [groans]
Sesshomaru- You�re worthless!
InuYasha- Mother!
Izyaoi- InuYasha!
InuYasha- Aah!
Izayoi- [gasps]

~Title~
Tetsusaiga, The Phantom Sword
Villagers- Lady Kagome! Lady Kagome! Lady Kagome!
Random Man- Oh! Oh, no! Over here!
Villagers- [indistinct chattering]
Sota- Mom, what are you doing out here?
Mom- Oh, did I wake you up? I�m sorry. I�m just lowering the bike seat here for your sister. Remember? She left her bike over there. But here she can use mine, first thought I thought I should lower the seat so that she wont fall down.
Sota- She�ll be gone a couple of days this time. Her backpack had a lot of clothes.
Mom- That�s right. But if she has a bike ready at home, she�ll have one less thing to worry about when she gets back.
Sota- She�s lucky to have you to worry about her. I�m sure glad I don�t make you worry like that.
Mom- But I do. Hoe can I help it? I�m your mom. You do still wet the bed�
Sota- Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Mom! I don�t do that! I�m in the third grade remember?
Mom- [chuckles] All I really want it for you two to be happy.
Sota- Thanks. I know. Quick, make a wish!
Mom- To be happy� Oh, and win the lottery.
Kagome- [gasps] (Her face! No reflection) InuYash! Inu!�(My voice, I can�t speak! InuYasha! Snap out of it! She doesn�t have a face! Whoever she is, she�s not your mom!)
Izayoi- InuYasha, I must return to the netherworld.
InuYasha- Do you have to?
Izayoi- The petals� Look into the water.
InuYasha- Huh? That�s me, back when I was still small.
Izayoi- You remember. That�s good. As I child, I often held you that way. I held you to my heart, just as I am doing now.
InuYasha- [sighs] [groans]
Izayoi- I�ll never let you. Not now. Not ever.
InuYasha- [groaning] Mother.
Kagome- InuYasha! I�m still stuck. Why can�t I move? Huh?
Messengers- [chattering and squeaking]
Kagome- It�s an illusion! this place, his mom, all of it!
Myoga- Kagome! Snap out of it! It�s me! Me! Myoga the flea! Who�d have thought Sesshomaru, InuYasha�s older brother would be the one seeking the tomb? And what a foe he is! And here�s Kagome, poor thing, chained head to toe. So wrapped up, she couldn�t even swat a.. couldn�t even swat a� um blood. [gulps] oh yeah. [sucking]
Messengers- [squeaking]
Kaomge- What do you know? I�m less paralyzed than I thought.
Myoga- Happy to hear it. Oh.
Jaken- [grunting] Huh?
The UnMother- My boy. My precious boy.
Jaken- [grumbling] Stop! What are you doing? [grunts] No soul sucking till I tell you!
The UnMother- Sorry!
Jaken- You can have your way with him later. After he tells us how to find the tomb of Lord Sesshomaru and InuYasha�s father.
Kagome- So that�s Jaken, Sesshomaru�s evil henchman.
Myoga- Right, but keep your eye on his staff.
Kagome- Hmm!
The UnMother- InuYasha. InuYasha! Your fathers tomb�Where is it? Please tell me.
InuYasha- I don�t know.
The UnMother- Then think harder. Let me see into your heart. What�s that?
InuYasha- Black pearl. On the right.
Jaken- What black pearl? Where? We need more than that! Go deeper!
The UnMother- But Lord Jaken, if I delve deeper, his spirit will be broken.
Jaken- I don�t care! Do it!
The UnMother- [sighs an agreement] InuYasha? Shh�
InuYasha- But mother, I can�t breathe � Huh? [gasps] Her face! That means she� [grunts] [choking]
Jaken- What�s taking so long? Get a move on before Lord Sesshomaru comes back and� Huh? Ooh!
Kagome- You mean, stupid, little toad!
Jaken- Aah!
Kagome- [sighs] Wait! Let him go, please!
The UnMother- No!
Kagome- InuYasha! [panting] Aah! Aah! She�s sucking him into her! What am I going to do?
Myoga- Kagome! His spirit! Awaken it!
Kagome- Spirit? But how am I�
Myoga- Behold, the UnMother, born from the grief of losing children to famine and war. She seeks to fill the void within herself by taking the spirits of others. In this case, InuYasha.
Kagome- I�m with you so far, but� how do you suggest we� [gasps] that child� is he� InuYasha?
Myoga- An illusion, but yeas, that�s how it works.
Kagome- So if I erase the illusion� [panting] InuYasha! Snap out of it!
InuYasha- Aah! Aah! Ugh!
Kagome- Oh! InuYasha! Are you okay?
InuYasha- [panting] How dare she! You pretended to be� I fell for it! I can�t believe I thought she was my�
Kagome- But it was Jaken and your brother Sesshomaru who�
InuYasha- What did you� aah!
Sesshomaru- Inu-Yasha.
InuYasha- Huh?
Sesshomaru- I know where it is now.
InuYasha- [gasps] Sesshomaru! [choking] You bast�
Sesshomaru- Of all the places for him to hide it. All this time, beneath our very own noses. Or, to be technical, above our very own noses. Right above one might say. Father was determined to keep it a secret. Which is why he chose here to hide it.
InuYasha- What are you talking about? You�re making no sense at all!
Sesshomaru- Well then little brother, since it was obviously done without your knowledge, how would you like to come with me and find out?
InuYasha- Aah! Aah!
Kagome- Oh!
Myoga- Lord InuYasha!
InuYasha- [strangled sounds] Aah! Aah! [gagging] Uh! Nuh!
Kagome- InuYasha?
Sesshomaru- [chuckling] No wonder searching for it beneath ground was useless. �Seeing yet never seen. Protected yet never know to it�s protector.� Our father�s tomb hidden inside a black pearl deep within your eye.
InuYasha- [growling] And all for something like that? You pretended she was my mother!
Sesshomaru- Hmm!
InuYasha- [growling]
Sesshomaru- You�re not amused?
InuYasha- No I�m not! You bastard!
Sesshomaru- Die!
InuYasha- Uh! Aah! Aah! [grunting]
Kagome- [gasps]
InuYasha- Huh?
Myoga- The UnMother!
Kagome- She gave her life to protect him.
Myoga- Demon spirit or not, she still had a mother�s heart. And isn�t protecting her child what a mother can�t help but do?
The UnMother- My boy.
InuYasha- Huh? [gasps] [growls]
Kagome- Hey, you!
Myoga- Kagome, don�t, or he�ll kill us both!
Kagome- Be quiet!
Jaken- [grumbling]
Sesshomaru- Jaken. Jaken.
Jaken- Aye milord.
Kagome- Uh?
Jaken- Lord Sesshomaru, the Staff of Skulls is ours once more.
Sesshomaru- At last, the moment has come.
Staff- [cackling]
Jaken- The old man laughs. It means the tomb will open.
Kagome- They�re gone!
Myoga- The portal! We must move quickly before it�s closed. Do you want your brother to take sole possession of your father�s treasure?
InuYasha- Let him. What do I care?
Myoga- But, sire!
InuYasha- I never said I�m not going in there, okay? Say your prayers, Sesshomaru [growls], you�re dead! You stay here! It�s too dangerous for you� huh?
Kagome- What do you want? An invitation?
InuYasha- Hey! You realize Sesshomaru�s there?
Kagome- Well duh! That�s why we�ve got to go. No one does that, no matter who he is.
Bone Birds- [squawking]
Kagome- Aah!
InuYasha- Father.
Kagome- Huh? Those bones there are your dad?
InuYasha- What else would they be?
Bone Birds- [squawking]
Kagome- Not that he wasn�t once alive once, too, but� What do you mean what else? They�re huge, okay!
Myoga- It�s true. They�re huge because he himself was of incomparable stature. Here he is, in truest form, undisguised. The treasure sword imbedded in his bones. That is what Lord Sesshomaru is after.
~~Commercial~~
Sesshomaru- Here is what I have sought. At last, I shall take possession of the sacred sword. The lethal, legendary blade, known to kill a hundred in one stroke. Tetsusaiga.
Jaken- They say it was forged of the fang from your father�s own mouth. Once you posses the blade, Tetsusaiga, you possess his power as well. Aah! Oh! It�s not stuck is it?
Sesshomaru- Father has done his work well. The blade is ensorcelled.
InuYasha- Sesshomaru! We�re not finished yet. Aah! Ugh! [growls] Now where�d he go? Huh?
Sesshomaru- Be more respectful. It�s our father�s tomb.
InuYasha- Look who�s talking. You�re the one who�s here robbing his grave. Why not respect him by leaving!
Myoga- Lord InuYasha! Look back! Look back!
InuYasha- Where? How come?
Myoga- Do you see it? The blade from your father�s fang! Tetsusaiga!
InuYasha- Huh. What? You mean this? What a piece of junk. Tetsusaiga what? It wouldn�t even cut paper, wet.
Myoga- Lord InuYasha, you must draw the sword. Please! And you, Lord Sesshomaru, You couldn�t pull it out, could you?
Sesshomaru- Do you mean to say InuYasha can?
Myoga- Of course. It was always intended that Lord InuYasha should inherit it. He-he-he was entrusted with the tomb, wasn�t he? That should be proof enough if you ask me. Now hurry! Hurry and claim what�s yours!
InuYasha- What entrusted? What inheritance? For all I care he can keep the rusty piece of junk! [growling] What I do mind though is all the other stuff. Good thing you in a grave, cause you�re gonna die. [grunting] Nuh!
Sesshomaru- Now was that aimed at me?
InuYasha- [grunting] Hya! Ugh! Damn!
Sesshomaru- You fight as though you�re still a child.
Myoga- You can�t fight unarmed. The sword! Get the sword!
InuYasha- You shut up!
Kagome- InuYasha!
InuYasha- Huh?
Kagome- Get the dumb sword!
InuYasha- Kagome?
Kagome- Sesshomaru couldn�t pull it out, right? If you can�t hit him in the body, hit him in the ego. Hurt his pride!
InuYasha- Haha! I get it! I�ll do it, if only to see the look on your face. This is gonna be more fun that I thought.
Jaken- Huh? (N-n-no! InuYasha is immune to the spell that thwarted Sesshomaru.)
Myoga- (I knew it! Tetsusaiga is fated to become Lord InuYasha�s!)
InuYasha- [grunting] Aaah!
Kagome- Pull harder! Draw it out!
InuYasha- [grunting] Aah! [struggling]
Kagome- What?
InuYasha- Huh?
Jaken- [disbelieving sounds] Nuh?
InuYasha- Yo.
Myoga- Yes.
InuYasha- I couldn�t pull the sword out, could I?
Myoga- Not really, no.
Sesshomaru- Are you done? I am.
InuYasha- [grunting]
Sesshomaru- I don�t think you�ve met my poisoned claws.
InuYasha- [grunting] Aah! That was too close!
Sesshomaru- Running?
InuYasha- [grunting] Nuh! Nuh!
Jaken- [laughing] Don�t worry milord, it�s all taken care of�
Kagome- Aah! You coward!
Jaken- Oh! Why, you! Aah!
Kagome- [grunting] You stinking toad!
Jaken- You stinking human! Nuh!
Kagome- This human�s gonna kick you�
Jaken- I don�t think so! [grunts] Nuh na ha!
Kagome- [grunts]
InuYasha- Nuh! Aah! Kagom� ugh! Aah!
Jaken- What�s the matter? That all ya got?
Kagome- [grunts] Not even started. [gasps]
InuYasha- [grunts] [panting] Uh! Aah! Ugh! [groans]
Sesshomaru- The time has come. Die.
InuYasha- [grunts] [groans] [strangling]
Kagome- [gasps] InuYasha!
Tetsusaiga- [snap]
Kagome- What? Oops.
Sesshomaru- Uh? Wha?
Kagome- It just� came out.
Jaken- [gasping]
InuYasha- Nya! [groans]
Kagome- Sorry. Now what?
