Synchronicity: Bringing back Sesshomaru
*episode 4*

Sesshomaru says, “What?” Da-ku says, “I said, to hell with him. Naraku is weak, that’s not a turn on for me. You, on the other hand, you are not weak. Look, we’re both demons; and demons pick their mates based on strength. Naraku is a fine choice when compared to Inuyasha; but you’re better than him. As for me, I’m powerful. I have all the powers of a priestess; that would be quite an inheritance, don’t you think? It’s simple really, you kill Naraku; and then I’m yours.” Sesshomaru says, “I don’t like you.” Da-ku says, “Don’t be silly; that has nothing to do with it.” Sesshomaru says, “I don’t want you.” Da-ku says, “And why’s that? I’m every bit as well built a demoness as Kagura and I’m more powerful. Why are you thinking about this?” Sesshomaru says, “Kagura is superior to you in ways you cannot even comprehend. Aside from that, if I was attracted to you, which I’m not, I would still reject your offer. When Kagura left Naraku, she was untouched; I could tell by her scent. I refuse to take Naraku’s leftovers.” He continues, “Now I have heard you, and now I will kill you.” As he reaches for his sword, Da-ku says, “Before you worry about me, you should worry about your brat.” At that moment, Rin screams out in pain. Sesshomaru turns in the direction he left her, but fog still obscures his vision. Hoping to deal with this quickly, he draws the Tokigin and turns back to Da-ku; she is gone. Wordlessly, he runs toward Rin’s voice. When he finds her, she is on the ground with Jaken standing over her. Somehow she has gotten a written spell plastered onto her arm; and the flesh is melting. Reaching out to remove the paper, he discovers why Jaken has not already done so. There is a powerful field of sacred energy around the spell itself; he cannot reach it. Grabbing his sword, he shouts “RIN!!!” Despite her pain, the child immediately stops her wailing and looks up at him. He says, “Hold very still. He takes the Tokigin and holds it next to her arm. In a swift move, he cuts the spell away along with a large potion of the girls arm. Throwing the sword down, he draws his other sword slices into the wound. In a matter of seconds, her arm is as if it had never been injured.” As the lord stands and watches, the girl sits up and begins to test to see that her arm is really there. Satisfied, Rin wipes the tears from her face and bows from a seated position. She says, “Forgive me m’lord.” After a moment’s hesitation, he nods his accent.
