Chapter 1
The old demon sword smith was hard at work trying to make his deadline for an order. I am a master at my craft and that moron asks me to make a normal, plain sword. Ha I could just not do it and spite that idiot. With every word his clashing became louder and louder. Then he stopped " I'm too old to be nagging like this when is that 'old man's wisdom' supposed to come into play." He sighed out loud. "I do not think it is ever going to come to you Totosai." The air suddenly turned cold and had pungent odor of death. Totosai looked to the entrance of his cave to see a young man. His hair was midnight black cut short but his bangs were rather long and parted in the middle. His pale, handsome face was total perfection save for the large scare on his right cheek. His eyes were deep red with small black slits and seem to have smoky black eyeliner around his both of his eyes giving a sadistic look to him, most definitely eyes of a youkai. The Kimono he wore was elaborate. Obviously a man of importance to someone but totosai didn't care.
The young demon walked with such grace he seemed to flow like water in a steam. " How rude of me not to introduce my self I am Orochimaru. Lord of the snake youkai." He paused and looked at one of the many katana's laying on the floor and picked it up. " I wish to know of the whereabouts of Inu no Taisho's fangs." Creeping one corner of his mouth making a small smile. His voice dripped with such royalty and grace it was sickening and did not fit his looks.
"Who?" The kindness of the snake's face faded away "Do not play games with me old man." His voice changed into an irritated almost hissing noise. Gripping to the katana he pointed it at him. "You know of whom I speak." Totosai returned his demanding statement with a cocky "Nope. Don't remember." Orochimaru walked up to the youkai and gripped him at his throat. He brought the old demons face close to his and stared in his eyes with a cold ferocity. His eyes told everything that he wanted to say. Totosai knew very well he was after Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga and was not going to say a word. This Orochimaru must know about the two swords deeper secrets. After moments of silence the snake spoke " So you still do not remember old man." Orochimaru tightened his grip. Totosai did not let out a single sound but his eyes betrayed him and showed he was in immense pain. The young Lord's eyes showed something as well, anger. He took the Katana in his hand and placed in under Totosai's chin. Pushing enough so some warm crimson blood trickled down the blade. "You give me no choice, but to make you remember." Totosai suddenly felt two fangs in the side of his neck. The pain was immense he could feel his body lock up. Orochimaru flung Totosai to the floor and drew his fangs out in one fluid motion. He stood tall and menacing over the old youkai and wiped the blood from his lips. " I give you one week old man to tell me. On the seventh day the poison I injected in you will take over your entire body. And you will die a very painful death. You should be feeling some of it now." His emotionless voice stopped. He crouched down and picked up Totosai's head by his ponytail and lifted it to meet his eyes. "One week old man." Orochimaru threw his head to the ground and stood tall and walked out of the cave silent and emotionless. Pathetic was the word that crossed his mind as he thought of the old demon.
"Orochimaru-sama. By the looks upon your face it would appear that you did not find what you were looking for." He looked up to see his servant, Kiko. Her hair was jet black and her face was like his, pale, but for the exception of green scales on her left cheek. Her eyes like his were red and had a similar darkness that engulfed them. She wore an above the knee black kimono that fit her snugly. It showed her delicate, curvy yet powerful and strong body. " The interrogation of the old man did not go well?" her voice almost had a pleased sound to think that the old man could have died.
Orochimaru stared forward. He began to speak in an irritated tone. "He knows something, but he chooses death over telling me. I could smell it in his scent." Kiko face lit up and a smile crept on to her face" So you killed him then?" The taiyoukai turn his head slightly to her. "No…No I did not."
"But why my lord?"
"Because he is the only one who knows anything of that woman." He looked down at the katana still in his hand and placed the blade in his free hand. In disgust he tightly grasped the razor sharp object. " That… infuriating… woman." His grasp became tighter at each passing second and as each on passing more blood slowly oozed down his arm.
He let go at the feeling of a hand at his shoulder. He looked up to meet two deep red eyes that were filled with concern. "I would not want you to cut your hand off my lord. It would be a foolish thing." He lightly placed his hand on the servants and turned to meet her eyes with a mocking concern. A small smile snuck on his face and she the same. But her grin faded fast to the sudden crushing pain in her hand. She could feel her bones cracking as the intensity increased. " What have I told you woman about touching me?" When she did not instantly respond to him he turned her arm behind her back in attempts to break it. " What have a told you lowlife?" The tone in his voice was full of bloodlust. In fear that she would lose her arm she screamed what he had repeated to her over and over again. " Never to touch thee my lord!" The sound of her voice increased desperately. "Never to touch you!" she felt his hot breath on her ear as he whispered, "good I'm glad you remember." After that sentence he loosened his grip and let her free. Upon being released she grasped her throbbing arm and looked at the man she adored. Though he was often harsh and abusive toward her she forgave him each time. If only every time he whispered in her ear it was not that of punishment. She dropped her head in despair. "The day I tell him how I feel is the day I will die." She thought to her self and she sank deeper into misery. She lifted her head to the sound of his regal voice.
"Come Kiko we are going to the western lands to find the Inu no taisho's sons. I will have those fangs and the soul that lies within."
Kagome sat under the cool shade of the tree of ages. She looked up to see the branches swaying in the wind as though they were dancing. The jewel had now been completed and everything seemed to be peaceful in the aftermath of Naraku's death. She spent most of her time in the modern era and only visited the feudal era to relax from high school. She was now a senior and had finished finals summer was close at hand. Once school ended she planned on staying in this time with InuYasha and begin a new life. Over the years she had become so accustomed to fighting demons and other supernatural beings that her time seemed so dull. Miroku and Sango had split off from everyone not long ago to start their own family and to try to restore the Taijiya village. Once every two weeks they would come back to visit and to acquire anything they may need. It was well into the after noon nearing twilight and today was the day the two would come to the village. Normally they would always come at noon so they could leave before it became dark. Something was keeping them.
Above her head she heard the rustling of leaves and then a very familiar voice came " Those morons are really late." Kagome lifted her head and looked directly into his eyes. Her face seemed to say, "I knew you were going to say that. It's so typical of you." But she said nothing and looked toward the direction the two lovers usually came from. " Call it woman's intuition but I think something slowing them down." " Ha! I bet the monk pissed her off in some way and is on his death bed right now." InuYasha said in a gruff tone. Kagome looked at him. Miroku had really been his only male friend in his lifetime and that he missed not having him around every second like they way it was in the past. She could see it on his face. Kagome smiled. Ever since Naraku's death InuYasha had become less on edge and was not afraid to show some of his emotions. Not all remind you only some, kami forbid he showed all of his emotions. At this thought she let a little giggle escape. Taking his eyes off the distant woods InuYasha looked down at her. He loved it when she would laugh it was one of the few pleasing sounds to his sensitive hearing. He heard something else as well. It was another female giggle and that of a male. When the wind reached his nose it all came together they had, finally gotten here, but there was something else he couldn't put his finger on but one of their scents had changed ever so slightly. " They're here." He said with the slightest hint of relief. Kagome ceased her giggling and stood up. Seconds later two figures could be seen on the dirt path not far off.
"Miroku there they are." Sango said joyfully. Miroku had one arm around her backside on his favorite spot or what he liked to call his "prized possession". " I can see that my love. I'm not blind." Giving his usual suave grin that made her legs give way every time he turned to look at her. She became lost in his deep blue eyes until she heard the very familiar voice of Kagome.
Kagome had become tired of waiting and started to the two. Obviously something monumental that had happened in the past to weeks. " Sango. Miroku. It's wonderful to see you, but why are you so late." The tone in her voice had that of a worried mother about her children. After a moment of the two just smiling at each other Miroku was the first to speak. "Well Sango needs to very careful nowadays." He turned back to the love of his life and began to laugh a little. Kagome was about to speak when she heard InuYasha's voice. " Now it's starting to make sense." Sango looked to InuYasha his hands in his sleeves and smirked. He had obviously figured it out now to let kagome in on their secret. " Kagome." The young girl turned to the Taijiya. " I'm pregnant." Her eyes widened and could hardly control her delight. " I knew something had happened! Oh! Why couldn't I see it earlier? Your face was glowing with happiness!" Kagome grabbed Sango's hands and began to jump up and down. Then she stopped. " Oh. I guess I shouldn't be doing that." Her face became a light tint of red from embarrassment. "When did you find out?" now it was Miroku's turn to speak. " It became evident soon after our last visit." Kagome was still ecstatic. " Well seeing the time you should stay over and leave in the morning. I would never let Sango go out at that time in her condition."
