DETAILED SUMMARY- INUYASHA THE FINAL ACT- EPISODE 9 - SESSHOMARU IN THE UNDERWORLD:
The episode begins with a shot of Sesshomaru, with Rin, Kohaku and Jaken in tow. For the past few days Sesshomaru has been searching for something. Kohaku looks into the sky and realizes that the light he saw last night was Kikyo's soul, and that she is dead. Sessomaru finally finds what he has been looking for-his mother. He flies into the sky and follows her back to her palace with Rin, Jaken and Kohaku behind him.
Then the scene is of a large grassy hill, where Inuyasha is sitting alone, depressed. Miroku is talking to Ginta and Hakkaku, Sango is sitting with Kirara and Kagome is having a deep conversation with Koga. Koga gets up to (literally) knock some sense into InuYasha, and actually manages to cheer him up a little. Kagome and Koga share a heartfelt goodbye (a romantic embrace), and Koga, Ginta and Hakakku say their goodbyes and leave. InuYasha senses Sesshomaru up in the sky- with some other demon. (Sesshomaru's mother)
Sesshomaru arrives at his mothers palace in the sky along with his companions. Sesshomaru demands to learn more about his Tenseiga and the power of his Meido. His mother uses a Meido stone, (from around her neck) that was given to her by Sesshomaru's father if Sesshomaru ever came to her and asked this question, to open up a Meido to the underworld.
Rin is then kidnapped by a demon and taken into the Meido to the Underworld with Kohaku! Sesshomaru jumps in to save them, and the Meido closes.
As they are journeying through the underworld Sesshomaru seems very upset and frightened when Rin stops breathing! Then he has a flashback to the day he first met and saved Rin.
Later, Rin gets kidnapped by the Guardian of the Underworld. So naturally, Sesshomaru and Kohaku go after her to save her. Sesshomaru advances on the Guardian and cuts him down, expecting Rin to then wake up (as she should have), but she didnt. Sessomaru's mother seems to think it is because Tenseiga can only revive a person once.
Sesshomaru is infuriated and at this moment (it's a very sweet moment) he really reveals how much he truly cares about Rin. Then, Tenseiga lights up, and Sesshomaru sees that all these dead humans down there have one wish-to be saved. So he grants them that wish with the Tenseiga and he returns to the world of the living through a bigger and much more powerful Meido of his making.
Sesshomaru then learns from his mother that everything that just happened was set up by his mother and father as a test to make Sesshomaru learn to posses a compassionate heart, which is required for wielding his sword.
Sesshomaru's mother sees that her son is upset over Rin not re-awakening, so she takes the Meido Stone from around her neck and places it on Rin. There is a bright light, and Rin is alive once more. the relief on Sesshomaru's face is amazing. He puts his hand against Rins face and she puts her small hand on top, as Sesshomaru asks her if she is okay.
In the background Sesshomaru's mother reflects on how Sesshomaru inherited the strangest trait from his father. (Compassion and love for humans)
Sesshomaru and company leave his mother's palace in the sky, as Kohaku makes the decision to continue to follow Lord Sesshomaru wherever it may take him.
Down below, Inuyasha and friends are walking and remebering Kikyo's last words to Kagome, which were to protect Kohaku's shard and his light. Kagome gives a motivational speech and they all set off on their way to find Kohaku. Showing one last still image of them all, the screen fades to black......
