Plot
The view shows seagulls flying through the sky. Rays of sunlight peak through the clouds. The view slowly moves downward from the blue sky to an overview of the beach. Kagome sounds very relaxed as she comments on how wonderful it is to be beside the ocean. Inuyasha is lying down on a log complaining that he hates the smell of this place. Shippou, who is standing on the log by Inuyasha's feet, says he likes the smell. Kagome, Miroku and Sango are standing next to each other gazing outward towards the ocean. Kagome streches her arms upward and says happily that its wonderful she was able to bring her swimsuit. Inuyasha lifts his head up, glares at her, and says in an annoyed tone, "Dammit woman!!! We didnt come here to have fun." Kagome replies in an 'aww come on' tone saying, "Why not? We just got here." There is a closeup of Inuyasha's bored, annoyed expression. He turns on his side, lies his head on his palm and calmly complains, "What does that got to do with it? You always act like a fool no matter where we go." Kagome suddenly becomes very stiff, her arms are now at her sides, she begins shaking with rage, glaring at him saying, "Hey, what is THAT supposed to mean?" Sango laughs nervously and asks Kagome if she can feel any Shikon shards nearby. Kagome calms down, losing her intensity and puts her hand on her hips, looks outward and tries to sense any shards. She notifies them that she can't sense any. Miroku comments that he can't feel any demonic energy either. Kagome now has a large smile on her face as she says cheerfully, "So lets kick back." She then runs over, kneels down and grabs a stick. She waves the stick in her hand and calls out, "HEEEEY INUUUUUYAAASHAAAA (she throws the stick) GO FETCH!!!!" Inuyasha suddenly changes into a ready position, shouts "YAY", runs after the stick and kneels down to pick it up in his mouth. He suddenly stops just as he is about to pick it up, abruptly stands up and swiftly turns around and yells at the top of his lungs, "SEE WHAT I MEAN!!!" Rays of sunlight beam through the clouds, the view slowly moves to the right showing the entire village. Inside one of the buildings is a golden religious statue. Sobbing can be heard, several nuns are crying around a woman lying down covered by sheets. They continue to sob saying, "May your soul rest my dear princess." The princess seems confused and says, "Me? I am not a princess, I am just a woman named Sara." The nuns continue to sob around her. the one closest to her on her right contiues to sob and begs, "Please Sara, if the Asa no Jou (name of the castle) had not burned..... if you hadn't gotten this disease..... and even in a great place like this....." Another sobs and comments on how unfair this is. A closeup of the princesses' face is shown. She is young, has a pentagon head and red ties in her hair, and bangs across her entire forehead. there is a purple and blue beaded necklace and flute next to her head on the right. She has a cheerful expression as she comments that this is just the way things are. She turn her head slightly to her right, smiles and says in a thankful tone, "You have all truly been so kind caring for me." One responds "Think nothing of it." Another places her head over her heart and continues, "We are happy to assist you in any way we could." Sara smiles as she tells them that she has been happy being around such kind people like them. She continues in a weak but cheerful voice, "Please allow me one last request, (the view gives a close up to the items next to her) I would be honored to play my flute for everyone one last time." Inuyasha's group enters the village, they hear the flute playing and wonder what is going on. The villagers are all leaning up against the fence, watching Sara playing her flute inside. Sara is sitting up now as she continues to play her flute. There is a close up of Inuyasha as he makes a "Huh?" noise. He looks to the side curiously as he contiue to walk. There is a closeup of Sara. She continues playing and looks up to see the villagers watching her and then sees Inuyasha gazing back at her curiously. Suddenly Sara's eyes widen and she starts shaking. Miroku, Sango and Inuyasha continue to walk on, occasionaly looking curiously at Sara and the villagers. Kagome, with Shippou on her shoulder, stops. She looks curiously at Sara. Inuyasha walks by her and tells her to keep walking. Kagome calls out, "Wait Inuyasha." Sara gasps and suddenly drops her flute. Her fingers remain in the same posistion as if she was still playing. Sara has a shocked expression and begins shaking even more. She can't stop shaking as she slowly puts her hands down. One of the nuns looks very concerned, places her hand on Sara's shoulder and says her name over and over in a worried tone. Sara's eyes widen as she has a 'I can't believe it' expression as she says, "Only one... wish still left in this world..." She suddenly grits her teeth, gasps, and looks like she is about to drop dead. Back with Inuyasha's group, they are near the beach. Inuyasha is infront of Sango but Miroku, Kagome and Shippou are no where to be found. Sango turns around and asks Miroku what is wrong. Inuyasha stops walking and curiously looks behind him. Miroku, Kagome and Shippou are at the bottom of the hill. Miroku asks, "What was that?!?!' He asks Kagome of she can feel it as well. Kagome nods. Shippou asks them what is wrong. Kagome explains that a powerful demonic energy just surfaced. Sango wonders about it. Kirara, in Sango's arms, suddenly shakes with rage as she growls. There is an overview of the village but now there is demonic energy swirling around it, especially around the building where Sara was. Miroku wonders why a large amount of demonic energy would appear and wonders what this could mean. Shippou asks if this could be Naraku. Inuyasha has a suspicious look and tells them that he doesn't think Naraku has anything to do with this. Kagome alerts them that she doesn't feel any shards. inu turns arouns saying that since this has nothing to do with there objective they all should leave. just tehn the ground begins to rumble and the building sara was in goes up in flames. kagome becomes very concerned and says that they MUST do something about this. inu yasha complains and scratches his head. all the villagers surround the convent, even the nuns are outside. inus groups arrives. some of the villagers are praying. inu aasks them what has happened. one villager, with his hands clasped together infront of his face, says that sara has been revitalized and suddenly the blaze appeared. inu says in a confused toen, sara? the villager continues still with his hand infront of his face and explains that this place was a home for the nuns. the villager next to him says that she was a great person who provided them with medicines. kagome eyes are wide open as she stares at the building and asks, miroku, is this blaze what i think it is? miroku confirms a yes and says that is does relate to the demonic energy. sango begins to speak, they all turn to face her. the view moves to the left now showing sango on the immediate left and kagome with shippou on her shoulder, on the right. sango sounds confused as she says, but there doesnt seem to be any demonic energy right now. kagome agrees and says that it must have moved on. teh view fades out and fades in showing the nun kneeling beside the remains, sobbing saying, sara sara, the light, the light. inus group are behind them. shippou suddenly alerts them all and points to a place on teh ground. he alerts them that it looks like someone has been lying there the whole time. there is a closeup of teh burn floor but there is a place where this no ashes. it forms the shape of a human lying down with there hands by there sides. one nun explains while sobbing, sara was lying there but then she vanished along witht eh light. kagome has a suspicious look and wonders what that could mean. there is a view of the sun setting around a mountain area. the sky turns from a beautiful purple with coral to the dark night sky. the view moves downward to a trail within the mountains and rins voice can be heard saying joyfully, hey jaken i have got a tongue twister for you ^^. jaken replies in an annoyed broed tone, what is it? rin says joyfully, here goes (she talks very fast now) aka_jaken ao_jaken ki_jaken ( red jaken blue jaken yellow jaken) the area is enshrouded in mist and you can see sesshoumaru walking infront, then jaken then rin then ah_un. they continue to walk on the incline. jaken tries repeats the tongue twister in an annoyed "god save me from thsi hellhole" tone. rin compliments jaken on a job well done and asks him to try again. rin speedily does the tongue twister happily. jaken sounds very annoyed and abruptly tells her to forget it. (view of sesshoumaru) rin whine to jaken about his promise to play with her. jaken sighs in a pitiful way (view of jaken rin and ah un). jaken looks exhausted as he thinks about sesshoumaru's long pursuit after naraku. he wonders how long this will last. jaken's head is down as he continues walking. sesshoumaru suddenly stops and jaken crashes into him. rin innocently asked sesshoumaru what's wrong. sesshoumaru has his cold glare again as he focuses his gaze infront of him. through the mist a figure approaches them, playing a flute. it is sara. jaken asks who that is. she stops, goes down on her knees and says, it has been so long sesshoumaru. jaken demands her to tell them who she is and if she is an aquaintance of sesshoumaru. she looks up, she has a focused gazes as she introduces herself as sara. mist swirls around them as jaken asks sess who this woman is. sara gazes deeply into sess' eyes and explains that they met at her castle. she asks if he has forgotten. sess repeats the castle name, he still has a cold glare. sara sounds like she is talking about a long lost love as she explains, when we first met there, Asa no Jou was in a precarious position..... *flashback of the castle surrounded by soldiers, one soldier alerts the leader that the enemy is approximately 12 kilometer away. the leader stands up and says that he didnt expect this situation to move so quickly. he continues that this battle will soon be decided and they have no choice but to die for the castle. the leader turns around and walks inside the castle. there are several soldiers sitting down, resting. he demands that they all listen up. he raises his sword (still in the sheathe)he bravely tells them that this is the time to defend what is theirs. the soldiers responds confidently, in our hearts my lord !!! with our life my lord !!! the leader tells them to stay strong and fight with everything they have. sesshoumaru has arrived. he attack 2 soldiers with his poison whip. he continues to walk along and whips another soldier behind him. one soldier rushes over to the leader. the leader asks him what is going on. the soldier kneels down before him and alerts him that a horrible enemy has arrived and they are all no match for him. the leader looks up and asks, what is he? back outside, a soldier is completely terrfied as sesshoumaru slowly approaches him, killing severl soldiers along teh way. the soldier backs away and nervously asks sesshoumaru, W W WHAT ARE YOU?!?! the soldiers entire body is shaking as sesshoumaru throws away teh last soldier and approaches him. he has the familiar cold glare as he demands that the soldier move away. the soldier bravely readies his sword and runs over to attack. sesshoumaru whips the sword breaking it in half. the soldier is horrified and gags as he falls down to the ground, sess continues to walk on. the leader looks at sesshoumaru from inside and says in a frustrated tone, if only someone like him would help us. just then a woman calls out to him. it is sara. he tells her to look closely at sesshoumaru and explains with a man like that, they would be unstoppable. sara approaches the window. Outside, sess easily swings his whip behind him knocking back 3 soldiers and then swings it infront of him knocking bakc 1 soldier. after sess finishes he looks up towards sara. sara gasps. flashback done* sara gets back up from her kneeling position and softly says his name. sess tells her that he doesnt know her and walks away. as he walks past her she turns to face him and tells him (she sounds desperate) to wait because she can fufill his greatest desire. (uh i just hope she dont mean sex O_O). sess stops and says slightly interested, my greatest desire? indeed. she responds in a desperate tone, yes. and by giving you that which you most desire, (she holds up her flute) i shall prove i am worthy of you. jaken walks up to her from behind and calls her a fool and yells while jumping, DO YOU HONESTLY THINK THAT YOU HAVE THE POWER TO GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS?!! YOU GOT ANOTHER THING COMI....... sess interrupts him and demands that he be silent. jaken is shocked for a bit, then turns his head away sadly and obeys. there is a close up of sara looking very confident as she continues, i guarantee i can make your wish com true, sesshoumaru. sesshoumaru looks over his shoulder towards her, again with the same cold glarem he turns away from her and tells her to do whatever she pleases. sara understands and slowly walks away, rin and jaken stare at her curiously as she passes by. she then disappears into the mist. jaken asks sess who that woman was. rin walks up to jaken looking at sess saying, she was very beautiful wasnt she? jaken responds, BAH if you say so. (sesshoumaru walks away and jaken looks at rin) what good are humans for anyway? sesshoumaru interrupts him saying, (close up of sesshoumaru's profile) is there something wrong with your eyesight? she was not human. jaken screams and asks what she was. sesshoumaru replies, she is a demon, (view of the path enshrouded in mist where sara disappeared) no, that one is human no longer, (close up of sesshoumaru) a withering shell and a devil's bargain to extend teh life.... jaken screams, SHE'S CRAAAAZY. back with inus group, they are all walking along the beach. sango wonders what the fire was about. miroku says that he remembers a simliar occurance to what happeneded today. he then wonders if this has anything to do with sara's disappearance. miroku feels bad about this. the view moves upwards showing the starry night sky then it goes to a closeup of inu yasha. inu looks over his shoulder and says, i still say screw this. it has got nothing to do with us. (inu looks infront of him now) we've got enough to worry about. he looks to his right and sees some sort of large demon in the water causing large waves as it swims. they all suddenly look towards the water wondering what it could be. miroku wonders if it could be a whale, sango disagrees and says its a monster. the monster charges towards someone, it is very dark with glowing red eyes. kagome alert everyone by suddenly pointing to a woman tied up ontop of the hill. it is sara, she has her head down adn has her eyes closed. kagome sounds very concerned wondering what she could be doing up there. inu looks over his shoulder towards kagome and calmly explains that he is more concerned with the monster because it seems that it is after her (sara). teh monster charges closer and closer towards sara. miroku suddenly yells out, I WILL RESCUE YOU LOVELY LADY. sango tells him to wait. she swiftly takes off her casual clothes, jumps ontop of kirara, and is now in her demon exterminator outfit. miroku looks very determined to reach sara. sango sadly looks down at him saying, always on teh job arent you miroku? inu yasha is very annoyed by all this and begins to vigoriously scratching his head (you can see kagomes hand upon his left shoulder) demanding to know why they always risk their lives for someone they don't know. inu looks up to find kagome on his back and says in an annoyed tone, what are you riding on?! kagome points towards sara's direction and both her and shippou demand that inu hurry up. inu complains again and shouts, ALL RIGHT ALREADY. inu rushes off. sara looks up and opens her eyes, she sees the monster approaching her. sango, riding on kirara, catch up to miroku. sango tells him to jump on. they fly over the monster, sango looks behind her towards it and unleashes her boomerang. the boomerang soars towards the monster, bounces off of the water and knocks the monster in the head. miroku is very impressed. sango catches her boomerang, the monster seems unaffected by the attack and continues to charge toawrds sara. miroku and sango jump off and land on the ledge where sara is. they are all in a defensive stance glaring at the monster. miroku tells sango to take care of the girl while he takes care of the monster. sango rushes to teh rescue. just as miroku is about to unleash his wind tunnel suddenly a bright light appears and then fades. miroku looks towards sangos direction to see what happens, he gasps and has a horified expression. back with inu and kagome, inu jumps ontop of the rocks and reaches sara from behind. inu calls out to miroku and sango. kagome is also horiffied by what she sees and wonders what happened to them. miroku and sango are completely frozen (they look like they are made of frosted glass), the expressions that froze are ones of shock. they are both facing sara. kirara is frozen as well but looking the other way. inu and kagome demand to know why they are frozen and what happened. sara looks behind her and makes an empathetic expression explaining that this was the work of the umigami (god of the ocean). shippou jumps off of kagomes shoulder and ontop of sango. he tells them that sangos heart is still beating so they are still alive. kagome looks determined and asks sara if there is a cure. sara shakes her head "no". inu suggests that they just beat the sh1t out of the monster. kagome asks if he means the sea god. inu becomes angry and yells, WHAT ARE YOU BABBLING ABOUT!?! THERE WAS NO GO...... sara interupts him and warns them that the monster is coming. inu yasha jumps and lands on a rock infront of them all. a large wave crashes upon the surface and the monster rises out of the water growling. inu yasha has his left hand in a fist and looks very determined. he yanks out his sword, jumps up into the air, and unleashes his wound of wind attack killing the monster instantly (he is so cool sometimes ^_^). remains of the monster fall to the ground, one falls down infront of inu. he picks it up and observes it. it is seaweed. shippou alerts inu yasha that killing the monster didnt work. inu, still gazing at teh seaweed, wonders what s going on and why they didnt change back to normal. sara closes her eyes and rests her head. there is a closeup of her necklace exspecially the blue orb in the center. sara is now untied. kagome walks over to teh frozen miroku, kirara, and sango, commenting that they look like glass. inu asks what they should do to cure them. sara has an empathetic expression and both hands over her heart as she explains that the umigami must still be alive and will return soon. she thanks them for trying to save her and tells them that they should not have gotten invovled. kagome gasps and become confused as she looks towards sara. sara has a saddened expression as she explains that she is not worthy of saving. now inu is curious and faces her. kagome asks sara why is she here. sara says that they can talk about that later because a great flow will come and break their friends (how would she know -_-). sara then asks if they can safely carry their friends to the village. there is a close up of glass miroku with inu next to him. inu says its no problem, he then looks at miroku. sara introduces herself as uminako. kagome asks her again what she was doing here. she explains that she was a sacrifice for umigami. (view of the entire beach) kagome is horified by that fact. (view of the ocean the sky is half mignight blue on the top and half pink on the bottom.) sara/uminako explains that on this beach, every 4 years teh monster appaers out of nowhere and they are forced to choose one amongst them to be sacrificed. they all arrive at the village. to their surprise everyone there is also frozen. kagome is horified and asks if this happened because they fought umigami that the villagers were punished. inu grits his teeth, glares, and says that they had nothing to do with this and that he swears he will do whatever he can to turn him back. kagome sound desperate as she asks if uminako/sara knows a way to cure this. sara/uminako places her hansd over her heart and has a very suspicious expression as she says, maybe....... (she opens her eyes widely ) there is a shrine of umigami....possibly. inu agrees that this is probably their best bet. shippou looks at his frozen friends, corsses his arms and looks very pensive. sara continues to explain that this village was a home to many fisherman, but many ships were destroyed due to the waves crashing up against the cliff. they are walking in a mountainous area (sango miroku and kirara are not with them) just ahead of them is a small opening. sara tells them that is the shrine. inside there looks like there is a large door that can only be opened by putting something thin and long into its slot. sara explains, a long time ago there was a legend that said if we can turn that vertical sign (the vertical slot is slightly curved) to a horizontal sign, the shrine with collapse and sink. inu goes over to the slot. sara explains that many villagers have tried, but they all failed. not even 5 men can move it an inch. inu cracks his knuckles, looks excited and confident saying that it is HIS turn. inu grabs the circular stone door and tries to turn it. kagome cheers him on. inu becomes very frustrated when he cant move it at all. sara says that she think strength wont open it. inu stops, gazes curiously at her ans asks her what she means. he walks over to her as she explains that his sword might fit into the groove. inu yasha places tessaiga into the groove, its a perfect fit. he tries turning it again and it begins to move. sara smiles mischeviously. shippou takes note of this. kagome cheers him on once again. shippou whispers into kagome ear, doesnt something about that woman seem strange to you? like how miroku and the others were frozen, they were facing her direction. (view of frozen miroku and sango) they werent facing the sea like a normal person would in that situation. (kagome becomes suspicious as well) and just now i saw her smile strangely when inu yasha started moving that thing. (kagome looks pensive) doesnt seem like something else is going on here? (kagome is shocked and says, it cant be O_o) miroku and the other were probably not frozen by teh umigami but her. (close up of sara and her evil expression). inu yasha is still using all his strength as he keeps turning the door. kagome looks from inu yasha to sara. sara's expression becomes even MORE wicked. the groove has almost become completely horizontal. kagome shouts, STOP INU YASHA. but it is too late it is comepletely horizontal now. inu brags about his "achievement". just then tessaigas barrier activates, it begins surging with electricity. inu jumps back and the shrine begins to collapse. inu yasha is about to go after his sword when a boulder almost crashes ontop of him. he grabs kagome and shippou and runs out of the shrine. sara stays, you can see her wicked satisfied smile. kagome calls after her, but sara turns into seaweed just as a boulder falls down upon her. inu wonders what just happened.kagome realizes that sara/uminako and umigami are the same. just then more boulders fall, about to crash ontop of them. inu jumps into the air, jumping off boulders as he goes until he reaches the top of the cliff. inu yasha looks down and wonders what the hell is going on. kagome asks where his sword is. inu explains that it is still within teh shrine. just then the rocks they were standing on begin to crack. they start to fall, they all back away in time. just as they are about to move more boulder fly upward into the sky adn a large demonic bird flies out, with sara ontop of it. sara has tessaiga in her hand (holding it at the sheath) she rips off her green robes revealing a white( on the top) and black (on the botom) top with a long yello skirt. she laughs evil as she grasps tessaiga in her hand. she thinks about sesshoumaru, sitting up against a tree in the middle of the forest. sess holds his left arm (well whatever was left of it at he time) saying angrily, damn you inu yasha....tessaiga....tessaiga will be mine. sara was hiding behind a tree watching him. sara tells inu yasha that his sword is now hers. she laughs menacingly again. kagome is worried that tessaiga was stolen. shippou is furious as he realizes that sara was after the sword all along. inu yasha grits his teeth and snarls. just then there is a gust a wind. kagome is even more worried and wonders what is happening now. sesshoumaru has arrived. sara gazes at him wondering why he is here. (close up of sess' cold expression, his hair swaying with the wind). the gigantic demonic bird with sara on continues to stay in one place flapping its wings. sesshoumaru glares up at her. sara is still confused to why he is here. inu yasha is furious and yells, I SHOULDVE KNOWN YOU HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS.....(he charges towards sess) SESSHOUMARU!!!!! inu yasha jumps into the air and attack with iron reaver. sesshoumaru all jumps into teh air (muuch quicker than inu O_o), catches inu's arm, and activates his poison b4 inu even had a chance to reach him. inu grits his teeth and tries to endure the pain.
