== Tessaiga and Tenseiga are both [[Bleach|Zanpakuto]] ==

It was given to him in lieu of Tessaiga, and is one of the two youtou we saw that was not actually forged by a smith but came from a youkai's body (the other being Abi's halberd, which came from Naraku), and unlike Naraku, Sesshoumaru doesn't have the inherent ability to shift his own body to anywhere near that degree on purpose. Combine that with the fact that we know that Tenseiga can repair itself (which Tessaiga can only do when taking back youki that was stolen from it) and that Sesshoumaru's getting Bakusaiga after giving up on his attachment to his father's momentos parallels how Tessaiga usually gains powers after Inu Yasha passes a test of character rather than just defeating another youkai/weapon, and it seems likely that Inu no Taisho gave Sesshoumaru the allegedly weaker sword to teach him kindness, let him perfect the Meidou Zangetsuha for his hanyou brother who can't survive the jyaki of Hell, and incubate a truly destructive weapon to give to his eldest son when said son has proven his worth and learned to stop relying on his father's strength.

 

The reason that there are no sentient youkai in the future is because they're willingly undergoing a masquerade to prevent from being hunted down (the non-sentient ones are either kept in captivity, hunted to extinction, or never coalesced in the first place due to the relative lack of constant warfare and death in Japan in the last century or so -- with notable exceptions). It helps that their werewolves are speedsters in their universe as well (Kouga's new respect for humans + the massive decimation of his tribe by Naraku + extinction of the Japanese Wolf = mass crossbreeding with humans, other youkai and hanyou, forming a new breed). Inner-Moka is a long distant descendant of and genetic throwback to Inu Yasha and Kagome, having the former's hair and the latter's taste in high-school uniforms and pantyshot-proof miniskirt powers. Sesshoumaru and/or a 500 year old, Nine-Tailed Shippou are members of Youkai Academy's board, and in fact were the ones who suggested Moka and Tsukune's rosaries based on Inu Yasha's and Miroku's, respectively.

 

Kagome can only travel through the well if she has a Shikon jewel shard, but Inuyasha goes back and forth without needing a jewel. Shippo and Sota both try to go through, but fail, even though they have fragments of the jewel. This leads me to believe that ''the jewel'' isn't important to traveling through the well, but ''strong powers'' are. The jewel, combined with Kagome's own spiritual power, makes her strong enough to pass through, but when Inuyasha takes her jewel shards away, she can't travel through the well. Inuyasha, even though he's a half-demon, is the son of Inu-taisho, and is thus very strong. We see that in his fight scenes, when he's able to defeat powerful full-blooded demons. Shippo may be able to go through the well when he's older and his powers have had more time to develop, but when he tried, he was still too young. Mistress Centipede and (in the movie) Sounga were both able to travel through the well without jewel shards as well. Thus, if they tried, other powerful demons like Sesshomaru, Naraku, and Koga would be able to travel through the well easily, and humans with strong powers like Miroku could, too, if they had jewel shards.
