Summary Sesshoumaru licks his wounds after the Battle in the Tomb
He stared at the empty sleeve where his arm should be. Somehow his plan had failed though he could not for the life of him figure out what went wrong. All he had wanted was to extract the information about Tessaiga from Inuyasha and kill him. Not too much to ask
It occurred to him that he had not failed. The plan had been Jaken's fault. He began to tick all the parts of the plan for which Jaken had been responsible.
1. They had wandered aimlessly around the country for years when Jaken's staff should have pointed to Inuyasha's eye while he hung on the tree.
2. Big incompetent oni to threaten the fake Izayoi He deserved to die
3. No woman who protected Inuyasha from him. He figured out where the tomb was hidden. No thanks to her. She deserved her death.
4. Jaken let the girl get the sword when he could simply have incinerated her. He deserved to die.
.
The fact remained that the whole fiasco had been Jaken's idea. Jaken had employed amateurs who bungled their parts. He had warned Jaken the plan was unworthy of him. Yet he allowed Jaken to proceed and look what happened. He lost his arm and Tessaiga.
He had only himself to blame for employing amateurs. Knocking Jaken unconscious helped, but he would never leave these to matters in the hands of incompetent fools again. Next time he would take matters into his own hands so to speak.
