Translation notes and style
Although scene descriptions are provided, it is not nearly the same as seeing it for yourself. If you enjoy the series, I would strongly recommend buying the tankoubon (collected version, each about 180 pages or 10 chapters long, costing 410 yen) when they become available (typically 3-4 months after the weekly Shonen Sunday release), and the first 21 volumes are now on sale.
Warning: These translations will occationally include strong language, and violence, though this is only when it is present in the original Japanese version.

Hey, Sesshoumaru.
Why are you here?
4
[Inuyasha speaks to Sesshoumaru, who stops.]

I can't imagine you just happening to be passing by.

[Sesshoumaru looks back at Inuyasha.]
Sesshoumaru ......
I have nothing to say to you.

Wait, Sesshoumaru.

Shippou...

It's futile Shippou.
You have my sympathies though.

[Closeup of Inuyasha.]
Inuyasha
Sesshoumaru isn't a life-saving good-natured guy for starters,
and more importantly, that Tenseiga...
5
[View of Sesshoumaru who is glancing back at Inuyasha, perhaps looking a bit annoyed.]
Inuyasha
is a piece of unusable scrap to Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru ......
6
[Miroku and Sango look on.]
Miroku
That's right, Tenseiga shouldn't be usable without a caring heart...

{voice over} and there was just my head floating around.

[View of some demon's heads floating through the mist.]

{voice over} I then noticed some others...
Many Onis' heads with terrifying faces...

The Youkai who'd had their heads cut off by Hakudoushi huh...

[Sango and Miroku look on.]
Sango
He left...
6
[View of Sesshoumaru walking along. On his near perfect poker-face, there's a slight hint of him being troubled by something.]

Tenseiga trying to tell me..?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Closeup side view of Sesshoumaru.]

That I find out about that?

But what on earth is that place with white mist and giant bones...
5
[Closeup side view of Inuyasha, looking somewhat serious and maybe a bit sad.]
