Chapter 4: The Twin Swords Tetsu and Tetso
The woman looked over at the two boys. She gasped in fear. "Inu...Inuyasha?" She said looking at both of them.
"Oh my god another Inuyasha fan! We'll be happy to get you an autograph of this guy!"
"Kazuo stop! We are not Inuyasha, I am Kazuma and the is my twin brother Kazuo."
"But...you look like Inuyasha." She said softly, but stared at them coldly. "Tell me, are you Inuyasha's sons?" She said bitterly.
"Yes, we are the sons of Kagome and Inuyasha, who wants to know?" Kazuo asked bitterly back at the woman.
"I am Kikyo, tell me where is Inuyasha and Kagome now?" She said looking at Kazuo coldly once more.
"Look woman we don't know where Inuyasha is we've never met the guy! Our mother is sleeping and...wait a minute hold the phone! You are Kikyo! The same Kikyo who Inuyasha chose over our mother! The same Kikyo who our mother was rencarnated from and hates! You wretch!" Kazuo yelled uncontrolably.
"Silence. I want to know where Inuyasha is." She said angrily.
"You're so posed to know where he is. If we knew where he was we would have delt with that idiot long ago." Kazuo said. Just then Kagome found them, she looked sadly in Kikyo's cold eyes. Kikyo stopped looking at the boys and turned to Kagome.
"Kagome."
"Kikyo."
"I see you've been with Inuyasha lately." Kikyo said looking at the boys.
"No look close Kikyo, These boys are 14 years old."
"So you never told Inuyasha?"
"Nope, the day I was going to tell him, he told me straight out before I could that he was going to be with you. So I went back to my time alone. What are you doing here?"
"Nothing that concerns you, goodbye." Kikyo said as her pale soul collectors picked her up and took her away. Kagome collapsed on the ground at her sons feet. Kazuo and Kazuma picked her up and brought her back to the hut.
The next 2 days went by fast, Tihiko still cuseing the half demon boys her mother has eagerly taken in, Mihiko flirting uncontrolably (she got it from her father). That night everyone was waiting for Totosai outside of the village, the moon was a bright full yellow moon, indicating it to be a peacefull night. Finally they saw Momo the flying bull with Totosai on her back.
"Hey look there he is." Miroku pointed out, as he went over to greet the old man. Totosai went over to Kazuo and Kazuma and handed them the two swords carefully. They took the swords out of the beautiful sheath, which was a blood red color with a black tie around it. The sword was nothing like Inuyahsa's looked, it was carefully detailed with a small metal carved transformed Inu demon in it that was only visible when held to the light. The boys were puzzled about how to transform it like Sango explained about Inuyasha's.
"These swords are nothing like the Tetsusaiga, they are much better even transformed, but you would have to be at Inuyasha's strength to weild them just right. The name of yours Kazuma is Tetso, and yours Kazuo is Tetsu, they are the twin blades of the Inu fangs. Unfortunatly they will only transform if you force them to, like hmm...how should I put this...you must force your strength into the sword and you must be pure, it will not transform if you are evil at heart and only half demons can weild it, like the Tetsusaiga Tetsu and Tetso have a barrier on it to where full demons can't use them and humans can't transform them. Have fun, and I hope you two are going to use those to kill Naraku?"
"How did you know Totosai?" Miroku asked.
"He has shown his new form in the mountain areas, he has taken form of Lord Himora, a lord of one of the mountain villages, unfortunatly the castle has disappeared like before. Good Bye." Totosai got on Momo and left. Kazuo and Kazuma went away from everyone else and tried to transform their swords, but nothing happend.
"Come on boys, lets go to bed, tomarro we take off to the mountains." Kagome said. The boys sheathed the Tetsu and Tetso, then went to bed. They slept with the swords by their sides, Kagome told them to never let them go.
The next day Tihiko, Mihiko, Kazuo and Kazuma waited together by the exit to the village, for their parents to meet them to go on the long journey. Tihiko stared at Kazuo and Kazuma hating them and cursing them, while Mihiko flirted shamlessly.
"Have you figured out how to transform your sword yet, Kazuo?" Mihiko said.
"No, probably won't until I fight in a battle." He answered holding his skate-board on his side. Then he turned to Tihiko, who was just staring at them cursing in her head. "Whats your problem! You act so bitter torwards me and my brother and we did nothing to you!" Kazuo yelled.
"Silence demon, I don't wish to speak to you." Tihiko said coldly.
"Why you..." Kazuo was cut off at the sound of his mother's voice.
"Come on kids, lets go and kill Naraku." They were off on the path once more, memories were forced into Kagome's head about how the group used to be. They walked in mostly silence except for the little bikering between Kazuo and Tihiko, and the sound of the usual humans doing their work around them. Kazuo and Kazuma decided to go ahead of the group, like Inuyasha had always done just to get away from them. Kazuo looked back and saw Tihiko staring her usual cold stare at him.
Kazuo shuddered. "Why does she give me that cold look?"
"Because we are what we are, its not totally bad. Dude just look at it this way, once we go back to school like this...with out the kimonos...then girls are gonna be all over the ears." Kazuma said.
"Yeah...mom was attached to our ears the first night she was back."
They laughed. It got close to sunset before the group decided to camp out. The boys slept in a tree above where the rest of the group had laid out mats to sleep in. Everyone went to sleep after they ate the fish that Miroku had caught, they were very tired having to walk a whole 12 hours earlier that day. In the middle of the night Kazuo who was half asleep saw Kagome get up and gasp so loud and run into the depths of the forest. Kazuo woke Kazuma.
"Get up you fool." He whispered.
"I don't want no more carrots! I ate too much already and its not good for ice-cream!" He muttered.
Kazuo laughed and then kicked Kazuma out of the tree so that he hit the ground. "What was that for?" Kazuma said.
"Come on mom might be in trouble, I seen her run into the forest." They got up and ran into the forest, soon they saw a woman and their mother who had her bow raised to the woman. The boys hid behind a tree to listen to the conversation.
"So Kagura still serving Naraku are ya!"
"Well well if it isn't Inuyasha's love Kagome, its been awhile." The woman smirked. "Dance of blades!" She shouted as her fan shot out red blades at Kagome, she was hit and knocked out. Kazuo and Kazuma jumped out from behind the tree pulling out their swords, the swords transformed from the angered strength they put into pulling them out. Soon they found themslevs holding gigantic swords that were heavy, but they weilded them none the less.
"Inuyasha and...Inuyasha?"
"We are not Inuyasha for the last time! God I'm starting to hate that name!" Kazuo yelled heaving the Tetsu over his shoulder.
"Who are you?"
"We are just the trouble making sons of Inuyasha and Kagome, Kazuo and Kazuma...now you will die for hurting mother!" Kazuma yelled swinging the Tetso at Kagura.
"Dance of the dragon!" Her fan again threw great amounts of wind and blades at the boys. All kinds of cuts were inflicted on them, they flew backwards hitting a tree. They quickly regained their balance and Kazuo grasped the Tetsu and took a swing at Kagura with so much pressure it actually penatrated the barrier that her fan put up just before the attack, he quickly swung again before she had time to put up another defense attack. He got her, he cut her hand right off, she howled in pain and got a feather from her hair it transformed into a huge feather and she flew off on it. Kazuma who was tending to Kagome walked over to Kazuo.
"She is losing too much blood Kazuo...she could die in a matter of minutes or even seconds." He said with tears in his eyes.
"What do we do?"
"I...I don't know."
Kazuo ran back and got Miroku and brought him to Kagome, explaining what happened on the way. Miroku had learned a great deal of healing potions durning the 14 years they were parted. He sent them to get a list of herbs and a certain mountain spring water.
This took a days time until they finally got everything, Miroku had stopped it long enough for them to get the things. They got back and helped perpare the potion. Then Miroku held Kagome up in a sitting positon to pour the contents of the bowl into her mouth. It ran along the edges of her mouth and then he laid her back down. She woke the next day, ready and stronger then ever. They asked her if she was feeling ready to go, and she kept answering "sure don't worry about me". They finally gave in and moved on. Being held back two days they really had some catching up to do, about 6 hours later they were about 4 miles from a village when an army had stopped them.
"You demons!" The general said pointing to Kazuo and Kazuma.
"What do you want old man?"
"Kazuo mind your tounge." Kagome scolded.
"You demons will be taken and slayed at this moment!" He said ordering his men to take the demons hostage.
"What is the meaning of this my good sir?" Miroku asked.
"We were ordered to slay these two at dawn, it is spreading from villages to villages that a silver haired demon has been terorizing villages, and we don't want it to happen to ours." He said emotionless.
"Unhand my sons!" Kagome yelled.
"You, these wretched creatures are your sons! How foolish of you. Take the demons to lord Kaysha. If you try anything your sons will be slain all the faster." The general took off with the twins who were angry because their sword was taken from them. Kagome watched helplessly with the rest of the group.
"What do we do now?" Sango asked.
"I'm going after them!" Kagome said. Sango grabed her arm.
"Are you crazy, they said that they will be slain all the faster if we disturb them. They'll find a way out of this, but we have to help anyway we can." Sango said with a smirk. "And to do that we need an old friend." She said still with the smirk. "Its long ways till dawn and we only need a few hours to find that friend."
"Shippo...but how do we find him?" Kagome asked.
"You're forgetting we have the best nose ever right Kirara." Kirara growled transforming into her bigger form.
Sango explaind to Miroku to stay with the girls as her and Kagome went to find Shippo who would now be 20 years old. Sango was planning to have Shippo transform as Inuyasha and jump into the village to disrupt the villages and distract them while they get Kazuo and Kazuma out of there.
