Well. I hope this chapter it's edited better than the last one.

Any question or whatever do not hesitate to ask.

I do not own any character and make no money of this.

When they get out from the well, Inuyasha felt immediately a smell that assaulted his nose. Inuyasha hated that smell and it was close to them but he did not mentioned it because he knew that Kagome would not like it. Ichigo and Orihime sure were feeling it too because they were looking around focused on that energy, as they were feeling it. And Urahara felt it for sure since he was looking straight to where Inuyasha knew it was the owner of the smell.

"Before you ask, that smell belongs to Sesshomaru."

"Your brother is here?" asked Ichigo to Inuyasha, surprised.

"It looks like that."

"Don't start a fight, Inuyasha." Warned Kagome.

"Keh! You already know that me and that bastard are not fighting from a long time ago." Responded Inuyasha while Kagome was moving her head and Orihime was trying to see Sesshomaru.

They followed Inuyasha to the village of Kaede. Urahara was looking at the villagers with genuine interest, since he could see the old customs of the old habitants of Japan, their looks and how to them the weird ones were him and the others.

When they arrive to the house of Kaede she greeted them happily, and she was with Sango, Miroku and their three children.

"We came to see her a while ago, just when we noticed your presences in the well." Told them Miroku, after Ichigo introduced Urahara and the talking cat to Miroku and the others. "We supposed that they should be you, because they were not aggressive."

"Indeed. I make them to bring me here with them to do something very important." Said Urahara, covering part of his face with his fan.

"Keh!"

"It looks like you had fun there, Inuyasha." Observed the old Kaede.

"He did, Kaede-obaachan."" Said Kagome smiling at her and making Inuyasha to growl and lie on the ground with his back turned to them. "Where is Shippou-chan, by the way?

"He go back to his school." Responded Sango with her twins in tow as always.

"And also Kohaku came to the village to see Rin but he just left." Said Miroku with one of his children in his arms.

"And he took Kirara with him?" asked Inuyasha.

"He did. Why do you ask?"

"I wanted to introduce her to this talking cat." Said Inuyasha while that black cat climbed to his shoulder.

"Don't worry. There will be another time." Said the cat to him.

They said goodbye to Miroku and the others and left the village again, towards the cave of Totosai. They have not walk so much when Inuyasha started to growl softly while the others could felt the most powerful Youki they had felt until that moment.

And in a glade of that endless forest that they have to get through they found a very handsome man, with long and silver hair, so long that he could drag it on the ground. He was wearing an old and magnificent armour over his white kimono. He had tattoos on his face and on his forefront. He had a fluffy stole over his right shoulder and it was so bigger that he was dragging it on the ground like his hair. He had also two swords on his obi.

A 12-year-old girl was talking to him while she was sitting in the base of a tree and she had a beautiful kimono with many colours on her lap. She was Rin and they all noticed it immediately, except Urahara and the cat. Orihime and Kagome breathed with enraptured eyes at the scene despite the weird it should look to see that little girl smiling like that to a grown man. But he was not looking uncomfortable, but he was responding to every little thing that the girl was saying until he looked at them.

"Good morning, Sesshomaru." Greeted Kagome. She had learned her lesson when she called him 'Onii-san' without his approve. "Hi, Rin-chan."

Sesshomaru just make an evasive noise with his mouth. Inuyasha was not even looking at him. And everyone else were looking at him with curiosity.

"Hi, Kagome-sama! When did you returned?" responded Rin happily.

"We have just returned."

Sesshomaru was looking at every one of them with an intensity that was making them uncomfortable.

"You had new friends, Inuyasha." Commented Sesshomaru, with a mocking voice.

"Anything to say with that?"

Sesshomaru did not say any more, looking at them all once again. Nothing on them called his attention more than their looks, the colour of their hair or the proportions of the girl. But he did not give a fuck for them.

"If you had nothing to do here, get lost." Said Sesshomaru to Inuyasha.

"Keh!"

Inuyasha and the others started to walk away, and the girls said goodbye to Rin when they walked by her. Urahara noted the Youki of Sesshoumaru and of his two swords. That swords were as powerful as Inuyasha's sword? One of them was the so called 'The sword from Heaven'? But he could not investigate it now even when the curiosity was killing him.

"That asshole has not changed at all."

"Neither did you, Inuyasha." Said Kagome walking by his side.

"He is the one which starts."

"And you fall into his game."

"It's…"

When they ended their discussion they thought they could go faster. So Kagome climbed on Inuyasha's back and Orihime on Ichigo's. Inuyasha did not believed that Urahara was fast but he was surprised when he reached them like if nothing and keep running at their pace.

It was night when they stopped to hunt something and start a fire. They had dinner with appetite because they had not eaten nothing since they left the Kabuki district in the morning. They slept with their senses focused in case that any Youkai or Oni showed up and attacked them, but not a single soul had appeared.

At dawn they continued their journey and soon they arrive to the place where Totosai lived. It was an old volcano with lava everywhere. Inuyasha did not wanted Kagome to go and get into such a dangerous place but she silenced him with a glare and go with him anyway. Totosai's lair was a cave formed with the skull of an old and large Youkai. It was big and deep, and inside was a slept old man. He was almost bald and had a bubble in his nose which was growing and reducing its size with every breath he take.

"Totosai! Wake up, you old geezer!"

"Good morning! Totosai-sama!"

Ichigo, Orihime, Urahara and Yoruichi looked incredulous at the different ways of those two to awake that old man, and how he did not woke up until Inuyasha grabbed him by his clothes and slapped Totosai on his cheeks many times.

"Ouch! What is happening?"

"Wake up you idiot!"

"Oh. Your voice rings a bell."

The old man looked at them all. He had enormous eyes and was bald in almost all his head. A blacksmith hammer was lying on his side and a cow with three eyes was looking at them from outside the cave.

"I am sure I have seen you two somewhere." Said the old man to Inuyasha and Kagome, making the one to get angry and the other to smile.

"They are Inuyasha-sama and Kagome." Said a voice.

"Ah, Myouga. It's good to see you here." Recognized Inuyasha relieved to have him to help.

Where was the owner of that voice? Ichigo and the others did not find it out that until Inuyasha slapped his neck with his hand and from there slipped, crushed, a flea to the ground. The flea inflated again and looked at Inuyasha.

"It's been a while, Master."

"Yes."

"And what do you need from the old flea Myouga?" asked Myouga, flattered.

"Nothing really. I came here to see Totosai."

"Ah, that would be me, right?"

Inuyasha crossed Totosai's head with a punch and a funny bump grown in there.

"No need to be so violent, Inuyasha."

"You deserve it!"

"But I did nothing."

"And you have no shame."

The others looked with fun how those two were arguing, until Inuyasha looked seriously to Totosai.

"I need a favour."

"After having you breaking my head I must reconsider to doing favours to you ever again."

"Shut up, it is important."

"I am hearing you."

"Can you tell us how you forged Tessaiga?" asked Urahara.

"That's impossible."

"You can't?" Urahara was not able to hide his deception.

"Nor I could, nor I should, nor I will."

"Why?"

"Because every single soul I had teach how to forge a Youtou used that knowledge for wrong purposes. And it is a very dangerous art." responded Totosai, looking at them with a serious look.

"We don't want that knowledge to forge another, just to know how works this one." Said Urahara pointing to Tessaiga.

"I said no."

"But…"

"No."

"At least can you help me to understand how Tessaiga works?" Urahara said that trying to convince the old sword-smith.

"There is nothing else to comprehend. Tessaiga is a weapon made to protect. It protected Izayoi-sama and until now it has protected Kagome very well. What is left to understand?"

That words left Urahara more confused than before.

"How can it be so powerful?"

"It depends on how powerful her wielder is." answered Totosai scratching his ear.

"How is possible that it could have so many skills?"

"It just have two."

"It has more. Inuyasha-san told me that."

"That were techniques that Inuyasha added to Tessaiga with the time passing by."

"And they are destructive?"

"All of them."

At that point Totosai was like an open book. And Urahara did not hesitate to approach his advantage.

"And what about the Meidou Zangetsu Ha?

"That skill belongs to Shishinki." said Totosai thoughtful.

"Who?"

"Ah wait, Inu no Taisho took it from Shishinki. Ah wait, now it belongs to Sesshoumaru. Ah wait, you are right, now it belongs to Inuyasha.

"My. And it can be used to travel in time and space?"

"What do you mean?"

"If the Meidou Zangetsu Ha can work to go to the past or the future."

Hearing that Totosai got serious, like if he had just awakened.

"It will only work if Tessaiga obtains the healing skills of Tenseiga."

Inuyasha and Kagome froze. So Inuyasha had to take from Sesshomaru the last thing that their father inherited to him? Surely they misheard that. Ichigo and Orihime noticed the incommode mood of them.

"Tenseiga… you mean the 'fang from Heaven'?" keep asking Urahara.

"Yes."

"And how can Inuyasha obtain that?"

"Inu no Taisho warned us." Intervene Myouga. "'Never let Tessaiga to absorb Tenseiga totally'. That's what he said."

"He wan't very eloquent." Observed Ichigo.

"Indeed he was not. If Tessaiga absorbs the healing power of Tenseiga, it could make the time flow backwards with the Meidou. And with its powers as Tessaiga it can move forwards. And it will take its wielder to wherever he has the duty to go.

"And now I have the duty to stop Naraku again." Said Inuyasha, who had been quiet from a while ago.

But now if it all was true then he had a very difficult mission now. He knew that Sesshomaru would not hand Tenseiga to him even if Inuyasha kneeled to beg him to. The only way to obtain Tenseiga was in combat, but now that bastard had the sword Bakusaiga which would do the things more hard to Inuyasha.

And Kagome knew what Inuyasha was thinking, and worried she embraced him from behind. The others could feel her despair and the worries of Inuyasha but they did not say anything.

"You said that Tessaiga will take its wielder to where he has the duty to go. That means that it won't take him to where he wants to go?" asked Urahara.

"Exactly. The past and future times must not be changed under any circumstances because everything it's going to be for a reason, and nothing it's supposed to change."

"But if the wielder travels to the past it's in order to change something, right?"

"Well, no. If the wielder travels to the past it's because he was supposed to travel to the past and do what it's supposed to do in order to set his future."

"And Inuyasha-san must travel in time now?" finished Urahara, looking at them all.

"Inu no Taisho told us about it once. He and that gorgeous woman of golden hair warned us two hundred years ago." remembered Myouga looking thoughtful.

"With golden hair?" then Kagome remembered what Inuyasha had told her about the woman who had stolen his Kotodama no Nenju, the rosary to tame him. But surely it was a coincidence.

"Kagome, do you believe…?" asked Inuyasha looking insecure at Ichigo, Orihime and Kagome. Kagome could see that Inuyasha was thinking the same.

"What is going on?" inquired the cat, while Urahara, Myouga and Totosai looked at them with the same confusion.

"A few days ago I met this woman and she had the same appearance. She took my necklace and throw it into the Meidou." Remembered Inuyasha.

Totosai was surprised. And so was Myouga.

"Before you were born," started Totosai, looking at Inuyasha. "and before your father fought with Ryuukotsusei, we reunited to discuss the future of his katanas. There was Saya too, Sounga's shealt. And your father went there with that beautiful woman, and she was not a Youkai nor a spirit. She didn't go there as his lover so don't put that face." Said Totosai, looking the anger in Inuyasha's face. "To be honest, I would dare to say that the one whom that woman was in love with was you."

"WHAT?!"

Those who had screamed like that were Kagome, Ichigo and Orihime and made Inuyasha cower by pure fear. Totosai and the others looked at them with curiosity.

"Totosai-sama, you are a fool!" yelled Kagome giving Totosai a killer glare.

"These are another times, you old geezer!" exclaimed Ichigo.

"I think the times were the same then and now." replied Totosai picking his ear with his finger.

"Shut up!"

"Please, continue with your story." Asked Urahara seeing how Kagome and Ichigo were throwing fire with their mouths.

Totosai got his head out from the ground and with two new lumps on his head he continued talking.

"That woman was very happy and excited with Inuyasha's born. And she told Inu no Taisho many things that he was about to do anyway with the son of Izayoi-sama, who he loved dearly. The disposition of Tenseiga and Tessaiga, and the matters about Sounga and confine her into the Bone Eater's Well. And… You said that she took your collar, that one that you used to wear in your neck, right?" asked Totosai to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha nodded, cautious, with his gaze on Kagome.

"Cause that woman was wearing a magatama very much like to one of your necklace, and it was hanging of her neck."

Then Kagome lost it. She laid Totosai again to the ground with her hits, crushed Myouga without even notice him, and hit Inuyasha on the face and in the head, and he did not know how to escape from his fate.

When Kagome settle it down, the three were half under the ground, while the others did not dare to even breathe.

"Then we parted, and Inu no Taisho went to fight Ryuukotsusei, where, as you know, he ended with serious wounds and after that he went to save your mother from her keepers." Ended Totosai looking at Inuyasha while the two were laying on the ground.

"I see…"

"And now Inuyasha-san have to obtain the powers of Tenseiga in order to use the Meidou as a way to transportation between times?" keep asking Urahara.

"Not only between times," answered Totosai getting up. "the Meidou will take him wherever he have to go."

At last he looked at Urahara intensely, apart from Inuyasha and Kagome, and then he saw at Ichigo, Orihime and the cat from a certain distance.

"You are Shinigami, aren't you?" asked Totosai even when he already knew it.

"Totosai you are surprising me." Said Inuyasha, now sitting with his legs crossed. "How did you find out at the first attempt?"

"Because the one who gave me the power of Tenseiga told me how they were and how the power of Tenseiga can kill them." Answered Totosai as if nothing.

Ichigo and his group froze. A sword that could kill Shinigamis? There were ways to kill them, but none of them were as infallible as that one.

"They called themselves gods of death." continued Totosai. "Then it's not obvious that a so called god it's not supposed to die? A god should be called like that if even if you can cut or destroy him he won't die, and his existence and powers were absolute. The one who gave me the power of Tenseiga in order to put it on Tessaiga told me that.

"And also he told me about the power of Tessaiga when it absorbs Tenseiga. Tessaiga would be able to travel not only in time, it could travel between the different realms and realities that exist."

Again he let them all confused with his revelations. Was not that the only reality that existed? Maybe they were misunderstanding him.

"When you say realities…" continued Urahara.

"You can call them dimensions too." Answered Totosai, confirming their fears.

"Ah"

"Crap."

"Shit."

Inuyasha did not catch that part, but Ichigo did. And he was stunned to think that Inuyasha now would have to do something like that. They couldn't confirm it yet, and they still had hopes that a journey like that was only a supposition.

"Recently," continued Urahara, unaware of the fact of that many information had just attacked the morals of the others. "someone with an incredible Reiatsu had just escaped from us, and he came to this land in order to obtain the Shikon no Tama. He did it, and with it he also bring back the demon Naraku."

"Ooooooohhhhhhhh. Then the scenery when, if they did not killed each other, then they should have used the Meidou it's a possibility." said Totosai in response, making Kagome and Orihime to bow their heads. The others were asking how Totosai knew that.

"You old fool, look what you did!" exclaimed Ichigo.

"And what did I do?"

"You make them sad!"

"He did nothing like that." Said Kagome to Inuyasha who was approaching to Totosai crushing his fingers. "I guess we just were thinking that if Naraku and Aizen used the Meidou together, then the journey to find them is a fact."

Orihime had just hanged herself on Ichigo's Shikakushou and he did not knew what to do.

"Oi! Don't do something like that if I am not dead yet! Ah…" protested Inuyasha.

Kagome had embraced Inuyasha and was crying silently. Inuyasha tried to comfort her hugging her tight in his arms but she did not stop crying.

"Don't worry. Look… you will go with me!"

"Nope. She won't."

This time Totosai did not say that like if it was nothing, but he looked sad saying those words. And Inuyasha knew that he was telling the truth, and Kagome wouldn't accompany him that time. Inuyasha bowed his head.

"Kagome is human. A human with great powers indeed. But she would not stand the atmosphere inside the Meidou, created specially in order to take you where you had to go. She would die with the contact of that environment inside the Meidou just by get into it."

"Damn it. But I will stand it for sure." said Inuyasha.

"Neither will you."

Everybody looked at Totosai, even the crying girls. Inuyasha would die too if he tried to pass through the Meidou.

"And I?"

Ichigo had just said those words from above Orihime's head which now was looking at him incredulous. And Inuyasha looked at him like that too.

"You?"

"If you are a captain-level Shinigami, then I think you will can." Responded Totosai again touching his ear with a finger.

"Just how many things do you know, old geezer?" asked Inuyasha trying to make Kagome smile, but she was looking like not let go off him for a while.

"Well, I had seen many things in my life."

They were trying to calm down Kagome and Orihime. Orihime couldn't just let Ichigo go like that. That journey was dangerous, and if she was not there to take care of him and heal his injuries she just would go crazy.

"But the Meidou is my technique! I must go." Was saying Inuyasha.

"You can't."

"There must be a way."

"Just one."

"Which one?"

"I don't know."

"You bastard!"

Inuyasha kicked every inch of Totosai that he could reach having Kagome wrapped to him, until he got tired of kicking him. Then Myouga talked to him afraid of being beat up like that.

"Inuyasha-sama, Inu no Taisho warned us to not let Tessaiga and Tenseiga to join together again. He told us that you wouldn't bear that power. Listen to our reasons, I beg you."

"No."

"Inuyasha-sama…"

"I said no!"

"If you want to die so badly…" said Totosai from the ground. "You must go to where these Shinigami belong." Added him pointing to Ichigo, Urahara and Yoruichi.

'The cat is a Shinigami too?'

"I must go to that Society or whatever is called?"

"You must go there and make your Youki help you to take on the Reiatsu of five captains. If you survive then you could stand the new Tessaiga and its powers, and also the atmosphere inside the Meidou without lose your mind or die."

"Well, I'll take care of that." Said Urahara immediately, looking how Inuyasha showed his approval nodding.

Meanwhile Kagome and Orihime were not stop crying. Orihime could not think of a way to stop Ichigo.

And Kagome could not stand to be separated again from Inuyasha. Three years had been tough for her, and she could not let that happen again.

"Well, I think it's all for now, Totosai-sama." Said Urahara to Totosai, looking at him with respect. "Your help had been priceless."

"But I don't remember anything on the matter."

They said goodbye to Totosai and get the two crying girls out in tow. Ichigo and Inuyasha took them out from that volcano and when they reached the forest Ichigo and Inuyasha took different paths with their sobbing girls. Urahara and Yoruichi watched at them closely, but making sure to let them space for a while.

"Kagome…"

"I will not accept it."

She was being selfish and she knew it. But she could not help it.

"You have to listen."

"I won't."

"Please."

Kagome looked at him, Inuyasha had his gaze hide behind his wild hair, and was trembling slightly. But he was not crying.

"It's Naraku of what we are talking about. If he has the power to travel around and everywhere he wants, with the Pearl on his hands and that bastard of Aizen as a sidekick we can't wait for something good. And… It's something very personal. It's my duty to stop him."

"Forget them! Don't chase them any more! Stay here!"

"I can't."

Ichigo was having it as bad as Inuyasha.

Orihime was not saying a word, nor Ichigo had tried to say anything. He knew that she understand him and at the same time she didn't. Ichigo had the duty to find and stop Aizen, and if he was not in that country or at least in that reality anymore, it was not problem of Ichigo. But Ichigo knew that she did not think like that. She was aware that he would not stop until he found Aizen, and that he would not let that job to any innocent that could be in the way of those bastards.

That's was why Orihime knew that Ichigo would go with Inuyasha, and she, like Kagome, would not go with them.

But knowing all that was what was hurting her that much, and what was making the Shikakushou of Ichigo wet with tears which did not stop.

When they got back to the village of Kaede, Inuyasha left Kagome in their house with their visitors, and immediately he went out to find Sesshomaru. Inuyasha knew that he would have to do it at some point and the faster he would get rid of the origin of his suffering the faster he would return with Kagome.

"Rin. Where is Sesshomaru?"

Inuyasha talked to Rin, who was out the village as always, waiting for his beloved Sesshomaru.

"My master left a while ago after we had seen in the forest." explained Rin. "Do you need him for something?"

"Yeah."

Inuyasha ran faster tracing the well-known smell of his aristocratic brother, and was so focused on it that he almost did not noticed the presence that was following him closely.

"You should get out here now. We are not playing the hide and seek." Told Inuyasha bored to Ichigo, who reached to him with a jump.

"I was thinking of backing of to you if your brother beat you to a pulp."

"Keh!"

Inuyasha did not said any more. But he was thinking of many things with Ichigo's participation. Inuyasha had not accept that yet by pride questions. And he would let him know that soon.

They were searching for Sesshomaru around three days. Days when they chilled to their bones to think what would Kagome and Orihime do to them when they return home. Until Inuyasha catch Sesshomaru's smell like never before and Ichigo felt his lethal presence.

They hurried up and hide themselves in the bushes, but Sesshomaru was not a fool.

So here it is, the tenth!

I hope this one have better grammars. It's my worst fear writing in english but... what else can we do?

Next chapter on Friday. I hope you like it.
