Tsubaki's master

Tsubaki's master was the person who was a teacher of the Yokai Taijiya, a school for priests and priestesses. He gave the Jewel Of Four Souls to Kikyo. Tsubaki was jealous because of this.She went to confront her master to inquire as why Kikyo was given such an important task and not her. However, Tsubaki's master could not tell Tsubaki that Kikyo's powers had far surpassed hers and she did not have a heart as pure as Kikyo's. So, Tsubaki got angry and left the temple.
