    Towa and Setsuna.
[00:02] Towa Higurashi
    Between us half-demon twins,
     two different worlds exist at the same time.

[00:08] Towa Higurashi
    Human and demon.
[00:10] Towa Higurashi
    Feudal era and present day.
[00:12] Towa Higurashi
    Peacefulness and war.
[00:14] Towa Higurashi
    Joy and sorrow.
[00:16] Towa Higurashi
    Dreams and reality.
[00:17] Towa Higurashi
    One moment and eternity.
[00:19] Towa Higurashi
    And finally, love and hate.
[00:23] Towa Higurashi
    A Feudal Fairytale,
     Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon.

[00:26] Towa Higurashi
    We'll keep moving forward
     through the hurdles of destiny!

[00:33] Towa Higurashi
    So what are we up to today?
[00:35] Towa Higurashi
    Where are you taking me, this far away?
[00:37] Setsuna
    I didn't take you anywhere.
     You're the one who came along.
[00:41] Towa Higurashi
    But where is this...
[00:44] Towa Higurashi
    Watch it, Setsuna! I'll fall off!
[00:48] Setsuna
    This is my...

SIGN    SETSUNA TOWA HIGURASHI

[02:46] Towa Higurashi
    SETSUNA TOWA HIGURASHI
     Hey, Setsuna.
[02:48] Towa Higurashi
    Why are we this far into
     the mountains?
[02:50] Towa Higurashi
    Going for a walk?
[02:52] Setsuna
    I'm just making my rounds.
     That's why I said you didn't have to come.
[02:56] Towa Higurashi
    So what on earth is here anyway?
[03:02] Setsuna
    There's nothing here.
     That's how it's supposed to be.
[03:05] Towa Higurashi
    What? What does that mean?
[03:08] Setsuna
    The earliest memory I have is
    the view of a burnt-up forest.
[03:14] Towa Higurashi
    You mean the one we were in?
[03:16] Towa Higurashi
    So it's a memory from
     after we got separated?
[03:22] Setsuna
    After that, I lived here for a while.
[03:25] Towa Higurashi
    That was when we were
     around four years old, right?
[03:28] Towa Higurashi
    I'm sorry,
     I didn't know anything and I—
[03:32] Setsuna
    I wasn't alone. I had Miss Shiori,
     and there were other children, too.
[03:37] Towa Higurashi
    Miss Shiori? Who's that?
[03:43] Setsuna
    This place is a hidden village
     for half-demons that Miss Shiori made.
[03:47] Towa Higurashi
    A hidden village?
[03:50] Setsuna
    After that fire...
[03:53] Setsuna
    I couldn't do anything.
     I just sat by the ruins.

[03:58] Setsuna
    But someone came for me.
[04:00] Jaken
    Hey.
SIGN    TWO-HEADED DRAGON – A-UN

[04:03] Jaken
    TWO-HEADED DRAGON – A-UN
     You there, little girl. Hop on.
[04:05] Jaken
    You there, little girl. Hop on.
SIGN    SESSHOMARU'S VASSAL – JAKEN

[04:07] Jaken
    SESSHOMARU'S VASSAL – JAKEN
     What is it?
[04:09] Jaken
    You need not fear me.
     Come now, jump on.
[04:13] Setsuna
    I was led by a voice
    that I couldn't quite place...

[04:17] Setsuna
    And I was taken to this mountain.
[04:27] Shiori
    Survive and live!
[04:37] Futa
    Who are you?
[04:38] Raita
    Yeah, who're you?
[04:41] Futa
    No humans allowed.
[04:42] Raita
    No demons allowed.
[04:46] Futa
    Say something.
[04:47] Raita
    Yeah, say something.
[04:51] Futa
    You're a half-demon, right?
[04:53] Raita
    You're probably a half-demon.
[04:56] Setsuna (4 years old)
    Half-demon?
[04:57] Shiori
    What's the matter?
[04:59] Futa
    Oh, Miss Shiori.
[04:59] Futa
    HALF-DEMON VILLAGE HEAD – SHIORI
     Oh, Miss Shiori.
[05:00] Raita
    HALF-DEMON VILLAGE HEAD – SHIORI
     Miss Shiori.
SIGN    HALF-DEMON VILLAGE HEAD – SHIORI

[05:03] Shiori
    My, a child...
[05:08] Shiori
    What's wrong? Are you okay?
[05:12] Setsuna (4 years old)
    I was told to give you this...
SIGN    PLEASE LOOK AFTER HER

[05:19] Shiori
    PLEASE LOOK AFTER HER
     Oh, dear...
SIGN    PLEASE LOOK AFTER HER

[05:21] Shiori
    My child, you seem to be tied
    to a strange destiny.
[05:28] Shiori
    Welcome.
[05:41] Setsuna
    And Miss Shiori invited me in...
[05:44] Setsuna
    to a hidden village inhabited
    by half-demon children.

[05:48] Setsuna
    Miss Shiori was a half-demon
     from the Demon Bat Tribe

[05:52] Setsuna
    with the power to create barriers.
[05:55] Setsuna
    She used her barrier to protect
    the peace of the village.

SIGN    HALF-DEMON CHILDREN

[05:58] Futa
    HALF-DEMON CHILDREN
     I'm Futa.
[06:00] Raita
    HALF-DEMON CHILDREN
     I'm Raita.
[06:02] Futa
    So what happened to your parents?
[06:04] Raita
    Yeah, what happened?
[06:07] Setsuna (4 years old)
    I don't know.
[06:09] Raita
    That's a little sad.
[06:12] Futa
    My parents were killed by humans.
[06:14] Raita
    My parents were killed by demons.
[06:18] Futa
    But if you don't know,
     then that's kind of a big deal.
[06:23] Setsuna (4 years old)
    Oh.
[06:25] Setsuna
    I got used to living there pretty quickly.
[06:27] Setsuna
    During the day, we went out to gather food,
     and at night, we hid.

[06:32] Setsuna
    I learned numbers
    and how to read and write.

[06:38] Half-Demon Child 1
    Miss Shiori.
[06:40] Half-Demon Child 1
    Look what I got!
[06:41] Half-Demon Child 2
    Miss Shiori, I got a lot, too!
[06:44] Shiori
    That's amazing, everyone.
     You all worked so hard.
[06:47] Futa
    Miss Shiori!
[06:52] Futa
    I brought it down.
[06:54] Raita
    And I caught it.
[06:56] Shiori
    Both of you are amazing.
SIGN    SETSUNA
[07:00] Setsuna
    At times, I would receive items
     addressed to me.

[07:05] Futa
    What's that?
[07:06] Raita
    Yeah, what is it?
SIGN    CUT THE WIND
[07:08] Setsuna (4 years old)
    "Cut the wind."
[07:10] Setsuna
    For some reason, I trained
     following those orders.

SIGN    SETSUNA
SIGN    CUT WATER
[07:19] Setsuna (4 years old)
    "Cut water."
[07:22] Futa
    Cut the water?
[07:24] Raita
    Can it be cut, though?
[07:37] Futa
    It's impossible, right?
[07:38] Raita
    Impossible.
[07:53] Setsuna
    Humans would never stray this far
     into the mountain,

[07:56] Setsuna
    but sometimes demons
     would make their way here.

[08:00] Setsuna
    Most of them would give up and leave,
     barred by Miss Shiori's barrier.

[08:05] Setsuna
    The really persistent ones
     would wait for us to emerge.

[08:09] Setsuna
    With those demons,
    we worked together to take them down.

[08:12] Futa
    Eat this! Wind Scythe!
[08:15] Raita
    Eat this! Thunder!
[08:16] Setsuna (4 years old)
    Scourge of Swallows!
[08:26] Futa; Raita; Setsuna (4 years old)
    We did it!
[08:28] Setsuna
    We all worked well together, but...
[08:35] Setsuna
    Miss Shiori always seemed sad.
[08:38] Setsuna
    She understood that
    we had to kill these enemies,

[08:42] Setsuna
    but deep down, I think she wished
    for the world to be different.

[08:58] Shiori
    In a forest in the east,
     a half-demon child is suffering all alone.
[09:10] Shiori
    I'd love it if they decide to come here.
[09:16] Setsuna
    I had been living here for six years
     when a certain letter arrived.

SIGN    THE VILLAGE WHERE YOU WERE BORN...
[09:26] Shiori
    Setsuna, it says here that you are to
    return to where you were born.
[09:31] Shiori
    You'll be living there from now on.
[09:33] Setsuna (10 years old)
    No. I like it here.
[09:37] Shiori
    Half-demons are able
     to live among humans, too.
[09:41] Shiori
    If you have a place to live a life,
[09:43] Shiori
    it's not a bad idea to get to know
     human society as well.
[09:47] Shiori
    Go and live in the village
     where you were born.
[09:52] Setsuna
    I ended up in the village
     where Priestess Kaede lived,

[09:56] Setsuna
    but not for very long.
[09:59] Setsuna
    There was something I realized after beating up
     some bandits who were pillaging the area.

[10:06] Bandit 2
    Y-You bastard!
[10:10] Bandit 1
    She's a monster. Run for it!
SIGN    VILLAGE ELDER PRIESTESS – KAEDE

[10:16] Kaede
    VILLAGE ELDER PRIESTESS – KAEDE
     Setsuna, that's enough.
[10:19] Kaede
    Setsuna!
[10:25] Bandit 1
    H-Help me!
[10:31] Kaede
    Setsuna, stop it!
[10:33] Setsuna (10 years old)
    If we don't kill them,
     they'll just come again.
[10:36] Kaede
    I don't want you to go through such things
     when you're still so young.
[10:43] Setsuna (10 years old)
    I am a half-demon.
[10:46] Kaede
    Setsuna?
[10:50] Setsuna (10 years old)
    I'm returning to my village.
[10:55] Setsuna
    Miss Shiori welcomed me back
    without asking any questions.
[10:58] Setsuna
    My friends were happy
     that I was back, too.
[11:03] Setsuna
    I returned to my peaceful days
     at the village,
[11:05] Setsuna
    and I thought I would stay there
     for the rest of my life.
[11:10] Setsuna
    But...
[11:12] Setsuna
    Miss Shiori is also a half-demon.
[11:14] Setsuna
    There are times
     when she loses her demon powers.
[11:17] Setsuna
    In other words, her barrier disappears.
[11:21] Setsuna
    A demon named Gaga Gozen planned
     for that day, and appeared before us.
[11:26] Towa Higurashi
    Gaga Gozen?
[11:30] Setsuna
    Miss Shiori is also a half-demon.
[11:32] Setsuna
    There are times
     when she loses her demon powers.
[11:35] Setsuna
    In other words, her barrier disappears.
[11:39] Setsuna
    A demon named Gaga Gozen planned
     for that day, and appeared before us.
[11:44] Towa Higurashi
    Gaga Gozen?
[11:46] Setsuna
    This happened three years ago.
[11:52] Shiori
    Setsuna.
[11:53] Setsuna (11 years old)
    Yes?
[11:54] Shiori
    Soon I'll lose my demon powers.
     I only hope that nothing happens.
[12:00] Futa
    Miss Shiori!
[12:03] Futa
    Some samurai are here!
[12:05] Raita
    Yeah, they're here.
[12:07] Shiori
    Samurai?
[12:11] Underling B
    MOTH DEMON – GAGA GOZEN
    Lord Gaga, is it this mountain?
[12:14] Gaga Gozen
    MOTH DEMON – GAGA GOZEN
    Yes,
[12:15] Gaga Gozen
    there are many half-demons here.
[12:18] Underling E
    That's what I heard. Many demons have
     come here searching for half-demons,
[12:23] Underling E
    but they either couldn't find them
     or have been taken down.
[12:28] Gaga Gozen
    Just who do you think I am?
[12:30] Gaga Gozen
    They couldn't find them because
    they're all a horde of brainless idiots.
[12:34] Gaga Gozen
    I've looked into it, though.
[12:36] Gaga Gozen
    All the demons that got taken down?
     They weren't strong enough.
[12:42] Gaga Gozen
    I've eaten a hundred samurai,
     and I've grown tired of eating them.
[12:46] Gaga Gozen
    It's time to stuff my belly
    full of delicious half-demons.
[12:53] Hachi the Raccoon Dog
    HACHIEMON OF AWA MIROKU
     Miroku,
[12:55] Hachi the Raccoon Dog
    we can't defeat them
     with just the two of us.
[12:57] Hachi the Raccoon Dog
    We should go back and get help.
    He's bad news.
[13:01] Miroku
    That demon has already eaten
     a hundred samurai.
[13:03] Miroku
    We'll look for an opening and
    slay him as quickly as possible.
[13:09] Hachi the Raccoon Dog
    We can never see eye to eye, huh...
[13:20] Setsuna (11 years old)
    They look like samurai,
     but they're all demons.
[13:24] Futa
    You can tell?
[13:25] Setsuna (11 years old)
    My nose works better than yours.
[13:28] Setsuna (11 years old)
    They all smell like demons.
[13:30] Raita
    What should we do?
[13:32] Setsuna (11 years old)
    If demons come here,
     then it's to eat or kill us half-demons.
[13:38] Raita
    But Miss Shiori won't be able to
    use her demon powers.
[13:40] Futa
    This is bad.
[13:42] Setsuna (11 years old)
    If they knew that and came here...
     That's pretty annoying.
[14:16] Gaga Gozen
    Behold!
[14:17] Gaga Gozen
    The one who produces this barrier loses
     their demon powers during a solar eclipse.
[14:24] Underling B
    Amazing as ever, Lord Gaga.
[14:27] Underling E
    Now then...
[14:29] Futa
    Wind Scythe!
[14:30] Raita
    Thunder!
[14:49] Gaga Gozen
    This naginata is the infamous
    Kanemitsu no Tomoe.
[14:52] Gaga Gozen
    Your dull knife is no match for it.
[14:59] Gaga Gozen
    What's the matter?
[15:04] Miroku
    Gaga Gozen, steel yourself!
[15:10] Human Shiori
    That man...
[15:11] Raita
    Eat this! Thunder!
[15:17] Futa
    He's the last one.
[15:19] Raita
    Get him!
[15:25] Hachi the Raccoon Dog
    Miroku! See, what did I tell you.
[15:29] Futa
    Setsuna, let's get him.
[15:30] Raita
    Yeah, come on Setsuna.
[15:31] Gaga Gozen
    Damn half-demons!
[15:37] Futa
    Everyone, over here. Hurry!
[15:40] Raita
    Are you okay?
[15:43] Gaga Gozen
    I wonder if you can stomach
    my poison fog!
[15:50] Gaga Gozen
    Damn you!
[15:56] Futa & Raita
    Setsuna!
[15:57] Human Shiori
    Setsuna!
[16:01] Gaga Gozen
    Now, you stay down.
     I'll save you for later.
[16:06] Gaga Gozen
    Look at you half-demons,
    you all look absolutely scrumptious!
[16:10] Futa & Raita
    – Wind Scythe!
     – Thunder!
[16:12] Gaga Gozen
    Hmph, such nonsense.
[16:15] Gaga Gozen
    Now, which one shall I eat first?
[16:19] Human Shiori
    Please stop it!
[16:22] Gaga Gozen
    Why don't I start with you, then?
[16:34] Gaga Gozen
    Little girl. Do you think you, a mere half-demon,
     can defeat me, Gaga Gozen?
[16:41] Setsuna (11 years old)
    You damn worm!
[16:50] Futa
    You did it!
[16:50] Raita
    Setsuna!
[17:01] Miroku
    Wait, Setsuna.
[17:03] Miroku
    Your demon blood isn't settling down.
     If you cannot quell it...
[17:07] Setsuna (11 years old)
    Go away!
[17:10] Setsuna (11 years old)
    Die, die, die!
[17:14] Setsuna (11 years old)
    Die!
[17:16] Miroku
    Oh, no.
[17:20] Human Shiori
    Setsuna, stop! Please!
[17:24] Human Shiori
    Calm down, Setsuna. Please.
[17:28] Human Shiori
    That's it... Take deep breaths.
[17:34] Futa & Raita
    Miss Shiori!
[17:36] Miroku
    Pardon!
[17:42] Human Shiori
    Setsuna? Setsuna?!
[17:46] Human Shiori
    Are you okay, Setsuna?
[17:48] Human Shiori
    Um, what you just used
    didn't kill her, right?
[17:51] Miroku
    It did not. This is a sedative
    used by demon slayers.
[17:55] Miroku
    It's especially effective for Setsuna,
    with her keen sense of smell.
[18:00] Human Shiori
    Thank goodness.
[18:14] Miroku
    I'll apply a seal
     that will suppress her demon blood.
[18:17] Miroku
    This naginata will act as the medium.
[18:24] Miroku
    Let's begin.
[18:28] Miroku
    On meeting an arhat, slay the arhat;
     on meeting your parents, slay your parents...
[18:33] Miroku
    Know that the light to your path lies there.
[18:45] Miroku
    This should be good for now.
[18:48] Miroku
    Setsuna has inherited demon blood
     that is too powerful for her half-demon body.
[18:54] Shiori
    Um, you're Monk Miroku, aren't you?
[18:57] Miroku
    I am. And I'm glad
     you're in good health, Lady Shiori.
[19:01] Miroku
    You grew up so beautifully, too.
[19:04] Miroku
    Is your mother here as well?
[19:06] Shiori
    No, she passed away...
     An illness overtook her.
[19:12] Miroku
    Such is the fate of humans, I'm afraid.
[19:16] Setsuna
    Some time after Monk Miroku left,
     Miss Shiori told me to leave the village.

[19:22] Shiori
    Setsuna. You are no longer so weak
     that you have to live in hiding.
[19:27] Shiori
    Live in the outside world,
     for your own sake.
[19:32] Futa
    Setsuna, take care!
[19:34] Raita
    Yeah, take care!
[19:35] Shiori
    Oh, you two will eventually
     have to leave this village, too.
[19:41] Shiori
    Setsuna is just leaving
     a little earlier than everyone.
[19:44] Futa & Raita
    I don't wanna!
[19:47] Shiori
    Setsuna, if you ever meet
     a half-demon child who's in trouble,
[19:51] Shiori
    can you tell them about this village?
[19:53] Setsuna (11 years old)
    I will.
[19:55] Shiori
    Okay. Off you go, then.
[19:58] Setsuna (11 years old)
    All right.
[20:09] Setsuna
    Back at Priestess Kaede's village,
     I was invited to join the demon slayers.
[20:15] Setsuna
    I never knew that
    Monk Miroku was Hisui's father.
[20:20] Towa Higurashi
    So that naginata
     was a spoil from a battle, huh?
[20:23] Setsuna
    It's a human-made piece.
[20:25] Setsuna
    I've been using it with appreciation.
[20:27] Setsuna
    It's also my seal for my demon powers.
[20:32] Towa Higurashi
    You sure did a lot of talking today.
    Why's that?
[20:36] Setsuna
    Because Miss Shiori told me that if there
     was a troubled half-demon child,
[20:41] Setsuna
    I'm to tell them about this village.
[20:42] Towa Higurashi
    What do you mean?
     I'm not troubled, and I'm not even a child.
[20:48] Towa Higurashi
    Geez.
[20:56] Small fry demon 1
    Here it is. This is the mountain
     where half-demons are said to be hiding.
[21:00] Small fry demon 2
    They think they're so clever.
     Let's just find them and eat them.
[21:10] Small fry demon 2
    My horns!
[21:15] Setsuna
    You think you're so clever.
[21:17] Setsuna
    If you ever come here again,
[21:19] Setsuna
    death will be a sweet thing.
[21:24] Setsuna
    Bastards like them still manage
     to make their way here.
[21:27] Setsuna
    Although I hope things
     can quiet down a little.
[21:31] Towa Higurashi
    Setsuna. You've been doing
     this for a while, huh?
[21:35] Setsuna
    Sometimes.
    When I have time on my hands.
[21:38] Towa Higurashi
    Because to you, this place
     is one of your precious homes, right?
[21:43] Setsuna
    Kirara.
[21:53] Shiori
    Thank you, Setsuna.
