Sesshomaru is disappointed that Sara had stolen the Tetsusaiga from InuYasha, whereupon InuYasha must chase after Sara. Sara tells Sesshomaru of the time when he first asks her to give him the Tetsusaiga and of the time the Asano clan attempted to kill Sesshomaru. She recalls being surrounded by apparitions during her illness, allowing herself to be consumed for her rebirth, all to devote herself to Sesshomaru. As InuYasha arrives to retrieve his Tetsusaiga, while Sesshomaru releases the apparitions from Sara. She is unveiled as a medium, being controlled by a demon. The Tetsusaiga is first wielded by Sesshomaru in order to destroy the demon and then by InuYasha in order to eradicate the apparitions.
