And reading your convo with aamalie about the Sess/Kag stuff - AGREED. LoL. The Kohaku/Sango angst was prettily done for the most part, but what I enjoyed the most were Sess's bits. His obvious concern for Rin, but *especially* that Sess/Kag intersection of purpose. Like, shipper's dream much? I had this whole inner dialog between them going. :P
Although, he does rather conveniently - for Naraku and the plot's sake - disappear with his utterly powerful Bakusaiga. I think this might be a "Superman" moment. You know, how Superman is just too powerful for his own good, so the comic book writers basically spend all their time trying to write themselves out of the corner of their own creation. I mean, a rare rock from another planet is an extremely limited weakness, although every piece of the damn thing seems to have fallen on Earth.
... *ahem* But anyway, along those same lines, Bakusaiga is totally boss. He just flicks it and everything is evaporated. I can see that writers' table - "So... let's just pretend he *walked* back to the village. Totally reasonable, right?" :D
