"There!" Rin exclaimed, shouting over the wind. Her tiny finger pointed down below. "There, Kagome. I found them!"
"Finally" Kagome sighed. It wasn't that Kagome was tired of Rin, no far from it. The reason behind her exhausted joy is that the two girls had been through a very long day together. Of course without either Inuyasha's or Sesshomaru's consent but, the two girls had set out on a mission and were determined to finish it. All in all, Kagome was glad to see her friends down below from the Ah-Un's back. They would give her some relief although the problem is still far from over.
The dragon suddenly dive-bomb down. Kagome took a deep gasp in surprise then held on to the saddle tighty. Rin, being use to this type of action, simply steadied herself and giggled at the weightless feeling. Down below, Sango had caught sight of the dragon and brought everyone's attention to them. Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Kirara, Shippo, Sesshomaru, and Jaken all tilted their heads towards the sky.
With one more flap of its wings, the two headed dragon circled around and landed softly on the tall grass. Rin slid off immediately and rushed over to her lord and wrapped her arms around his left leg. She was so small in comparison to him. He looked down upon her and gently laid his head upon her head.
Mioku and Sango rushed over to Kagome and carefully helped her down being caution of the blood stains covering her clothes and the tears in her shirt revealing deep gashes in her pale skin. Once Kagome was steady on her feet, Sango smothered her in a hug and ranted on and on about this and that. Kagome hardly heard any of it. Her mind was still spinning and the only thing she could focus on was how to deal with the problem at hand.
Inuyasha stepped forward after Sango released her and held her by the shoulders to look straight into her eyes, "What the hell is wrong with you, Kagome? What in the seven hells possessed you to run off like that? After we went throgh all the trouble to save your sorry ass to begin with you run right back into trouble! Look at you. Look at the trouble you got into. I can't protect you when you run off like that. We would have gotten the swords back somehow. Why do you feel the need to take it upon yourself to do that!" He motioned towards the two swords that now hung around the miko's waist. A deep blue clothe held the swords to her, the Tetsiuga, and the Tokigin.
When Kagome didn't answer, Inuyasha huffed and stood up staight again, "Well, whatever. Give me the swords and we'll go clean you up. You won't be hunting shards for awhile now."
Kagome didn't hand the either of the swords over to Inuyasha. Instead, her eyes darted over to Rin, who now stood facing Kagome. Their eyes met and Kagome sighed. She knew she had to keep her promise to Rin even if she didn't agree with it.
Mind set, Kagome now turned to Inuyasha with a fierce determination look in her eye, "I can't Inuyasha. I can not give you the Tetsiuga."
Needless to say, shocked faces went around.
"What? Why not? It's my sword! And I'll take that bastard's sword and smash it." Inuyasha yelled at Kagome.
Kagome looked to Rin once more, her eyes saying she better be able to keep up her side of the bargin as well. Rin nodded in understanding.
"Look, its a really long story and I think its best if we..."
"Well, make it short cuz my patience are done!" Inuyasha interrupted.
"Okey," Kagome began, her temper rising to met his, "I cannot remove the Tokigin from this clothe and therefore cannot return Sesshomaru his sword..."
"So!" Inuyasha waved his arms up, "good, let me kill him now without him being able to use that damned thing."
"So," Kagome continued, "Rin and I are at an agreement that until I can return Sesshomaru's sword to him, I will not return your sword to you."
"WHAT!!" Inuyasha exploded. "Bitch, give me that sword." Inuyasha reached out for it and was sent flying back six feet with burnt hand.
"Idoit" Kagome mumbled loud enough for Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kirara to hear. They all nodded their heads in agreement.
"He'll never learn." Sango commented.
"Now, I was going to suggesst we all find some place to settle down from the rest of the afternoon and night and I will explain everything more clearly."
"A wise idea, Kagome." Miroku turned his attention from the hanyou on the ground, "Let us find such a place now." and with that, they all set off towards the woods with a grumbling Inuyasha in tow.
A place was found soon enough but before anything was talked about, a fire was prepared, food was cooking and the girls were attended to. Rin came out with only a scratch on her upper arm while Kagome defiantly got a few serious injuries. Kagome changed into another school outfit she had in her bag. While she was dressing, the blue belt holding the swords loosened itself to allow her to change her skirt and then went right back to her waist. Such was the magic of the enchanted belt.
Finally, after eating and settling down, all waited anxiously for Kagome and Rin to begin.
So, with a deep breathe, Kagome began, "Okey, well, you all remember the demon imps who mine and craft weapons. Their undying lust for powerful swords led them to Sesshomaru and Inuyahsa and their swords. It turns out the Tokigin and Tetsiuga are the most talked about weapons in the demon world. As you recall, they had kidnapped both Rin and I separately to use as bargin tokens to get the two swords. They took us to their hideout which was in an area were no other demons but them could enter but, humans could. They had set up a nasty trap in case the two of you refused to give up your swords. So after Sango and Miroku manged to lead Rin and I outside the barrier, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha took a big chunk out the population that followed us outside the hideout. Unfortunately, that sprung their trap and by the use of their weapons magic, they were able to call the swords to them and into the hideout and Sesshomaru and Inuyasha lost their swords to the barrier.
That night as we set up camp, Rin asked to stay with us so that she and I could spend some time together. When we had gone out to the hot spring to bathe, we started talking. In the end, we agreed to go out together that night, back to the imp hideout and take back both swords. Being there that short time we were waiting to be rescued we had learned a lot about what they were planning on doing with the swords. We knew right where they were going to keep them til they used them as sacrifices to their master who would reawaken with the swords combined powers. We knew we didn't have much time and if something wasn't done soon, the swords would be gone forever. We knew no one would give consent to this idea but, we felt we could do it. So, that night, we set out. We used Ah-Un to get there faster. "
Kagome came out of her memory moment to see Inuyasha and Sesshomaru glowering at her with angry faces. Everything she said so far and ticked them off.
Rin decided to pick up from here, "So, after flying on Ah-Un, we found the place where we knew their hideout was. We landed nearby and sneaked into their place. We got in on the bottom floor where all the mines where but no one was in there working like last time. We up to the next floor and still, no one was to be found. We quickly figured out that the cermony had already began and the only ones not in it were the guards outside which we already got past. So, quickly and quietly we climbed up to the top floor to find the entire population of imps there.
Lord Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's swords had already been placed into their shrine. Their master was already beginning a awaken and absorb the swords' powers. Kagome and Rin were afraid that we were too late."
Kagome had to fight down a laugh. Rin was a wonderful story teller. Inuyasha, Shippo, Sango, Miroku, and even Jaken were slightly leaning in as if afraid to miss something.
"We frantically tried thinking of a plan. We had to stop the master from awakening so our only hope was to slow down the ritual until we could secure the swords. So Kagome turned around and grabbed a bow and some arrows from the wall behind her and shot straight at the master. There was a bright pink light and then the absorbing of the swords stopped. The imps jumped up and started chasing us. Kagome pushed me into a small closet to hid while she lead the trail of imps away.
I was so scared for Kagome at this point. When I no longer heard anything from outside the closet, I cracked it open and peeked out. I didn't see anyone so I walked out and back towards the shrine. As I entered the room, I was attacked by three or four imps. They grabbed me and tired to hold me still but I fought hard. That's were I got this scratch," Rin indicated to the wrapping on her arm, "one of them scratched me while I was struggling."
Kagome caught a glimpse of Sesshomaru's eyes as they darken for a second before returning to their normal color. Kagome couldn't help but smile inside at his protectiveness.
"During the struggle, they had dragged me closer to their master who had awakened again. They were going to offer me as a live sacrifice! Yet they never got the chance because Kagome came out of nowhere with a sword and sliced the imps holding me to pieces. During all the commotion she had gotten hold of the Tetsiuga and was useing to fend off the imps. They all went running when they caught sight of her. Even I was taken back alittle. That sword is really big up close."
"Wait," Sango interupted, "do you mean to say Kagome was using the Tetsiuga in its transformed state?"
All eyes fell heavy on her.
Rin just smiled bright and replied, "She was amazing."
A gasp came from all around as the eyes shifted to Kagome.
"Kagome, is this true?" Mioku asked.
Kagome smiled mischievously, "Yep, I am pretty amazing."
All but Inuyasha smiled at that, "No wench, did you and did you not use the transformed Tetsiuga?"
Kagome met him in the eyes, "I did."
"H-How?" he stuttered out.
Kagome shrugged.
Rin took this moment to finish her story, "With one sweep of that sword, Kagome destroyed the shrine and and master. She then took that blue clothe that was laying next to Tokigin and tied it around the sword right under the hilt. That's when more imps came rushing in so in haste, she tied the blue belt around her waist, put Tetsiuga next to it and we took off running. We had made it all the way outside before we were suddenly surrounded. She ordered me to find Ah-Un and get out of there. I didn't want to leave her but she made me. So I ran off and found Ah-Un and came back for her. Ah-Un used his lightening attack to help Kagome with all the imps then she jumped on and we took off.
As we were leaving, the hideout began tumbling down. It all collasped and I don't think there are any of those imps left."
Rin took a deep breathe and looked at the faces of her audience. They were all deep in thought.
"Sounds like a exciting adventure." Sango commented trying to complement Rin's storytelling.
"Now, tell me more about this belt." Sesshomaru turned his head towards Kagome.
"I've tired at least fifty times since we left that place to take it off but it won't be removed. I merely had used it as a means of carrying the demon sword but now I cannont free Tokigin from it. This knot around the sword will not be untied just like the knot next to it hold the belt on. Of course things are made harder by the fact I can't even touch the Tokigin. If I were to loosen it somehow, it would do no purpose but to burn my hand off."
"Yet, you can remove the Tetsiuaga?" Shippo hopped on Kagome shoulder.
"Yes, the Tetsiuga is removed easily enough because I can hold it and its not tied in."
"Then why don't you give me my sword back?" cam Inuyasha's dark voice.
"Once Rin and I discovered the new problem, she asked me to promise her to not allow you to have your sword until I can give Sesshomaru his. Even though I initally protested thinking that giving your sword back would have no effect on Sesshomaru, I now understand her position. You've already proved that if given your sword, you would use it as an unfair and dishonorable advantage against him. Something that I will not alllow."
"Why are you protecting him? After all the times he tired to kill you? After all the evil deeds he had done? He tired countless times to take Tetsiuga away from me. He tired to kill me a thousand times. Hes a low-life bastard that doesn't deserve have someone consider him in any agreement."
Kagome's eyes darkened dangerously, "Sit, boy!"
Inuyasha was thrown from his tree and smack upon the ground.
"Last time I checked, I did not ask your opinion in this. You will wait till which time I decided to give you your sword back or you will have no sword at all."
Inuyasha growled deep in his throat.
"Now, I'm exhausted. I'm going to sleep. Tomorrow, we will set out for Kaeda's. Maybe she will know something about this belt." With that, Kagome laid down upon her sleeping bag. Her body was too tired to even crawl inside of it. She was out quick.
"Can't agrue with that." Miroku commented before settling down to find sleep himself.
