Towa and Setsuna.
Between us half-demon twins, two different worlds exist at the same time.
Human and demon.
Feudal era and present day.
Peacefulness and war.
Joy and sorrow.
Dreams and reality.
One moment and eternity.
And finally, love and hate.
A Feudal Fairytale, Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon.
We'll keep moving forward through the hurdles of destiny!
I-I don't know who you are...
But please, help me.
"The One Behind the Forest Fire"
Geez. Another bounty?
We haven't been turning in anything lately, huh?
No, we haven't.
We're slaying demons left and right, but we never get their heads!
Why do you have a debt in the first place?
BOUNTY HUNTER – MOROHA
That's because of that master.
Master?
SETSUNA TOWA HIGURASHI Master?
SETSUNA TOWA HIGURASHI
Oh, sorry about that.
I'll cut it!
Whoa, wait.
What is that?
A smart phone. Didn't you see me using it when we were over in the other world?
Were you now? I don't remember.
On top of being a phone, you can check the time or email,
take pictures and video, search the Web, check your socials...
There are also other apps you can install on it,
and over there it was a necessary item.
Of course, with no signal here there's no point in having this,
But I just can't seem to let go of it.
An item you can't let go...
I don't really understand.
Hey, wait a minute. I have something like that, too.
See? The Kappa foot that Grandpa Higurashi gave me.
Huh...?
CORPSE DEALER
Hey, Mr. Jyubei, we're here.
Are you all right?
Sorry, I got the wrong house!
What's wrong?
There was this really pretty person, and...
Pretty person?
Hello.
BEAUTIFUL VILLAGE GIRL – TAMANO
Oh, hi.
See? Isn't it strange for someone so beautiful to be here?
CORPSE DEALER JYUBEI
Just drop it.
We got a wonderful job from our very special client.
PIRATE WASHED ASHORE – RIKU
So we meet again, dear princess.
Riku?
That guy...
RACCOON DOG DEMON – TAKECHIYO
Hey, all of you!
Be more respectful!
Well, it's not really a job coming from me, but rather a request from this person.
It's nice to meet you, my name is Tamano.
Miss Tamano.
Miss Tamano escaped from Homura, an evil god from the Northern mountains.
An evil mountain god...
Homura?
Yes.
Homura and I lived alone in a mansion in the Northern snowy mountains.
Does that mean you and Homura were husband and wife?
No.
Well, even if you don't think so,
Homura probably thought that you two were married.
What do you mean?
Miss Tamano, would you tell them what happened?
Of course.
Ever since I was little, I've been raised by my grandparents
in a village at the foot of a snowy mountain.
Oh, how beautiful.
I've never seen someone so beautiful.
But something happened soon after I turned 13.
For some reason, marriage proposals kept arriving almost every day.
Even merchants and samurai from faraway towns came to visit.
Miss Tamano will become my bride.
No, I will take good care of her.
I didn't want to leave the village, so I declined all of them.
However, one night...
Tamano.
Homura suddenly appeared, and dragged me away to the snowy mountains.
Dragged you away? What a jerk.
Yes.
But why would he do that?
Because he wanted Miss Tamano all to himself, obviously.
All to himself?
I was forced to live with him in his mansion deep within the snowy mountains.
Strangely, only Homura's mansion didn't have any snow in it,
and it always seemed like spring.
At first,
Homura treated me with warmth and kindness.
EVIL MOUNTAIN GOD – HOMURA
He took very good care of me.
But then...
You!
How dare you look at my Tamano!
Oh, no, I didn't mean... Our eyes just met by chance.
Unforgivable!
H-Help me!
Just for the reason that our eyes met, Homura had killed the gardener.
After that, he began to do the same to all the guests who visited...
Lord Homura, I've come to deliver the goods that you ordered.
Oh my, well.
You! You dare gaze upon her!
Please run!
Lady Tamano.
Was the meal not to your liking?
Oh no, that wasn't...
You! Unforgivable!
Lord Homura!
Tamano is mine!
She belongs only to me!
Please, stop this already.
You're also to blame, Tamano.
You must have behaved in a way to lure them in.
I would never do such a thing!
You might not be aware of it, but you've been seducing all the men.
Come with me!
Tamano, you belong only to me.
I will never have anyone look upon you ever again!
Lord Homura, please! Please don't keep me here.
Lord Homura!
Homura had locked me up in a jail cell.
But...
I was able to escape from the mansion,
and when I was going down the mountain...
That's when Lord Riku saved her.
And that's how that story goes.
I see.
Well, it's not like I don't understand Homura getting worried and jealous.
But you know, after you go through all that jealousy,
it kind of feels nice, doesn't it?
What do you think, Lady Towa?
Huh, me?
Is it like how I just can't seem to let go of my smart phone?
Like being addicted?
Smart... what?
What the heck are you saying?
Oh, um...
It's nothing.
But with someone so deeply jealous, and if Riku took her in...
He's probably in grave danger.
Yeah. You're gonna get killed by Homura.
And that's why I've come here to ask you to slay Homura in my stead.
Slay Homura?
But to ask them to do something so dangerous...
Homura is very powerful.
You cannot put such young ladies in danger...
However, these princesses are no ordinary young ladies.
They are the Half-Demon Princesses.
Half-Demon Princesses...
Besides, they don't have a reason to refuse.
It's the head of the evil mountain god— his bounty will be tremendously high.
What?
And you won't have to clean this place anymore.
I'll do it! I'll definitely do it!
Right? Setsuna and Towa, you'll do it too, right? Right?
I guess we got pressured by Moroha and accepted the job, huh?
CAT DEMON – KIRARA Yeah.
Well, three heads are better than one, right?
But I didn't think I would have to tag along, too.
Brr!
Tamano!
Where did you go!
So cold.
I can't go any further, it's too cold.
It's snowing so hard.
I'm heading back. S-See you.
Kirara, you can head back, too. Thank you.
It's freezing! Where's the mansion?!
I can sense it.
There's no snow over in that area.
Let's go.
So cold.
What's the matter?
I'm just so worried about them. I wonder if this was the right thing to do.
If someone doesn't slay him, you'll never be able to get away from him.
No matter where you hide, Homura will always find you.
Well, I for one, would never understand the love affairs of human beings.
It's just like Miss Tamano said.
It seems like spring here.
– Yeah. – Hey, look at that.
Tamano! Where are you?
How dare you leave my side! Where are you?!
So that's the evil mountain god.
Homura, huh?
Charge!
Whoa, hey, Moroha!
Hey, Homura!
Look all you want, Miss Tamano's not here anymore!
Geez, you don't think about the consequences at all, do you?
Are you the one who took away my Tamano?
Hey! "My Tamano?" She doesn't belong to you, okay?
Shut up! Where is she? Where is Tamano?
Like we'd ever tell you.
If you don't tell me...
Moroha!
Hot, hot! Hot!
Don't underestimate my Robe of the Fire-rat!
Where is she?
Where is Tamano? Tell me! Hurry up and tell me!
Miss Tamano will never come back.
What?
Listen, Homura.
You can't just keep someone at your side without their consent...
That's just selfish!
Shut up. Shut up!
Those eyes...
Scourge of Swallows!
I knew it was you two.
The ones with the Gold and Silver Pearls...
Then I definitely cannot...
Towa!
I'm fine.
I didn't think you two would still be alive.
What do you mean?
Do you know us?
You two... I could've sworn...
I had killed you both back then.
Homura.
Burn that forest down.
That forest?
BEAUTIFUL MYSTERY DEMON – ZERO
That's fine by you, right?
Lord Sesshomaru?
TOWA AND SETSUNA'S FATHER – SESSHOMARU
Burn the entire forest,
and erase those cursed half-demon sisters from the face of this world.
Understood.
Setsuna, this way.
Sis.
Sis!
I thought I had burned everything down.
But for both of you sisters to have survived...
Then that means, you're...
Yes, I was the one who burned down that forest.
Because of you...
Setsuna!
Setsuna and I...
were torn apart at that forest!
CORPSE DEALER
Going somewhere?
Mister Riku.
Even if you go, it's not like you can change anything.
I understand.
But I need to be the one to settle things with Homura.
I can't put those girls in danger because of me.
Well, then.
If you want to go that badly, then I'll accompany you.
There's something I want to see for myself.
You called for me, Lord Riku?
Boy, it was freezing over there.
Sorry Takechiyo, but could you make another trip there?
What, again?
Um, I mean, if it's for you, Lord Riku, then there's no problem at all.
All right, Miss Tamano.
O-Okay.
I'm in trouble if they find out about you two!
I can't let you live!
Homura!
I'll send anyone who tries to tear me and Tamano apart to the next life!
You're the one who tore us apart!
Cyclone Burst!
Do you think...
you can defeat me with that?
Oh, no.
Crimson Dragon Wave!
Moroha!
We can't get swallowed into that. Let's retreat for now.
No! I need to defeat Homura no matter what.
He's the one who tore me and Setsuna apart.
Towa.
Then make sure you dodge it. Here it comes!
This time, I'll turn you to ash.
Lord Homura, please stop!
Tamano.
Tamano, is that you?
Lord Homura, please stop this already. These girls have nothing to do with this.
I don't care about that. Who the hell is that guy with you, huh?!
Why, you!
Hey, you're making him even angrier!
See, Miss Tamano? Don't you think you should return to his side?
No, I will never do that!
B-But Tamano, why would you say such a thing?
I'll say it as many times as I need to.
I will live by myself, without you.
I will never return to you!
Yeah, you tell him, Miss Tamano.
Did Miss Tamano risk her life just to come here?
Just so she can break up with him.
What has happened to you, Tamano? No one can ever tear our love apart.
You're just being swayed by him. Tamano, come back to me.
Now, come!
Well? Why not go to him?
No! I will not return!
Tamano!
Why? Why would you say that? Even though I love you this much...
Don't you understand my love for you?
Hot, hot!
Whoa. Please be careful.
Yes.
Stop it!
Tamano is mine!
My love for her is the greatest!
Tamano! Tamano!
Tamano!
Whoa, he's mad mad now.
That Homura. He's burning himself up.
Tamano...
Hey, we have to run, and fast.
Towa.
Towa!
Setsuna.
Let's go.
But...
Come on!
How utterly absurd. Nothing good comes from loving a human being.
Not for the Great Dog-Demon, nor for Sesshomaru.
Nothing but destruction.
I cannot thank you all enough for your help.
Takechiyo can fly you to where you want.
Why are you the one offering? But really, it's no problem for me.
No, this is fine.
Now you can live with your grandparents peacefully again.
Yes. I will return to my grandparents at the foot of the mountain.
Well, everyone, please take care of yourselves.
That Homura, damn him.
The bastard got so angry he burned himself straight into ash!
And thanks to that, my bounty... gone...
It's too bad, Moroha.
As for me, I think I'm done walking around with this.
It's not like I can contact anyone, and I have Setsuna with me here.
What?
Are you feeling better?
About what?
I see.
It's fine.
NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW
As the Half-Demon Princesses were taking their first breaths,
a great cataclysm was approaching.
Lord Sesshomaru and Inuyasha rose to prevent this tragedy, but...
Why have you awoken me?
This is a keepsake from Inuyasha's mother.
We decided that if we had a girl, we would give this to her.
Next time on Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon: "Farewell Under the Lunar Eclipse"
Lord Sesshomaru, I have faith in you.
