Episode 162

Forever with Lord Sesshomaru is the one hundred sixty-second episode of the InuYasha anime.

Summary
A village is being raided by bandits and Sesshomaru is watching from nearby. As he turns away and the bandits attempt to attack him, but Sesshomaru destroys the bandits as a group of monks arrive. They confront Sesshomaru, who destroys their spells and vanishes.

Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango and Miroku are talking to a village headman, learning that the village woke up one day and all the children were missing. Miroku offers their assistance, but the headman says he has hired a group of monks to find the missing children. The monks come across Rin in the woods; she runs away from them.

Rin asks Jaken what Sesshomaru will do when he has defeated Naraku. As Rin falls asleep, she promises herself that she will always be with Lord Sesshomaru. Jaken wakes a few minutes later when Rin wanders off. Rin follows the sound of a flute and follows a strange demon. Jaken tries to follow her, but is unable to keep up and loses sight of her; causing him to panick.

As Inuyasha and friends are camping, the monks come across them. The head monk is rather aggressive in warning Kagome and the others to stay away from demons, claiming them to be all bad despite them saying Shippo and Kirara would never harm a human. Luckily, Inuyasha is in his human form due to it being a moonless night.

Jaken wanders through the mist calling for Rin when Sesshomaru arrives. He asks if something happened to Rin, and Jaken says it was Ongukuki who captured her; a demon who lures children out with his flute to sell them to other demons. Sesshomaru then goes of to search for her.

Rin follows the demon to a cave filled with weeping children. She awakens and asks the children what is going on. When they explain they are afraid of the demon, Rin scoffs and insists that humans are scarier than demons due to her having witnessed the savage murder of her family. She then says they'll be okay and insists Sesshomaru will come for her.

Jaken runs into Inuyasha and his companions while searching for Rin. Jaken tells them that Rin was taken by Ongukuki and continues his search.

The group of monks arrives at the cave and lures Ongukuki out and defeat him with ease. They rescue the children, but Rin tries to stay behind in order to find Sesshomaru. However, the head monk drag Rin off despite her protests of not wanting to return to a human village on account of her family's murder. Meanwhile, Sesshomaru is watching secretly nearby having located her. He stays and does nothing as the monks try to reason with Rin to come with them. But when she directly cries out for Sesshomaru, he comes out onto the scene. The monks surround Sesshomaru and try to destroy him without success. The monks eventually succeed in freezing Sesshomaru, but as their attacks grow stronger, Sesshomaru begins to transform into his demon form. The power of the explosion flings the monks backward, destroying some of their weapons and leave the head monk stunned at Sesshomaru's great intense power. Rin escapes from the monk who was holding her and comes up to Sesshomaru. He tells her to follow him if she chooses too and she happily accepts despite the monk's insistence she not. As he stares at the destruction in shock and wonders as to why she'd go off with a demon, Inuyasha and his companions are watching from a nearby tree line.

The nexy day, all the children are returned to the village. The head monk observes Kagome and Inuyasha's interaction as they talk to each other and asks for Kagome to "enlighten" him. He then asks why she chooses to stay with a demon, surprising her. He then tells her to "forget it" and leaves with the other monks.

Meanwhile, Sesshomaru and Rin meet up with Jaken. As he goes to get A-Un, Rin asks Sesshomaru that if she were to ever die if he'd remember her, obviously stunning him. He blows off her question by telling not to "say such silly things." Jaken then returns with A-Un and the three go off.
