"Let me see the sword" The man held out his hand, Sesshomaru handed it over without question, which was shocking enough. Then the old man goes and give's it to Kagome.

"Uh?"

"Silly girl were you not listening, the sword is meant for you, Sesshomaru can't use it now"

The old man was not going to answer Miroku question it seemed.

"The sword will not harm you, nor will it change for him, what use is it the great dog demon if he hates you so?"

Sesshomaru held back a growl, he did not let his emotions show for anyone, not ever, not then, not now, not any damn time soon. He stood there with no sword, not the sword of heaven, nor the sword of earth was his, so, what did his great a terrible father leave him?

Nothing. Nothing but a half-breed pain in his ass.

The old mans eyes drifted to the demon Lord, their eyes met but only for a brief moment before Sesshomaru turned and began to walk away.

"Oi you bastard where are you going!"

One would question why the half breed would ask, why not let him leave, they, and she, would be in less danger. Kagome placed her hand on Inuyasha shoulder "Inuyasha" She whispered,

"What" He snapped,

"I think it would be wise to let him go Inuyasha, or have your already forgotten that he wishes to rid all of us from this earth"

Inuyasha's eyes went back to his brother "Yeah, but don't you find it odd?"

"What?" Kagome asked,

Inuyasha looked at her "That he just left, that easy, it was to easy, and without any of the swords"

Everyone looked at the fading demon. Inuyasha was right, he had left, like nothing had happened, like nothing was wrong.

"Hmm" The monk said "I think you might be right Inuyasha, we should be on guard"

Inuyasha wanted to send Kagome home, but he knew that would result in a pissed off mate, there was no choice, she would have to stay here.

"He is up to something, I just know it" Inuyasha hands went tight on the sword, the one that could save a life, it was supposed to be Sesshomaru's sword the old man said, how odd, and a waste, he knew his brother would never use it. Inuyasha then looked at Kagome, she still held the other sword, he had been surprised that Sesshomaru had not taken it from her,

Yes is brother was up to something and it didn't look good.

"Oh Inuyasha"

"What old man"

"There is one more thing" The old man said sitting on his cow,

"Well what is it"

"There is another sword"

Jaws dropped,

"What do you mean another sword" Inuyasha asked dark,

"I mean, your father had another sword" He said as he sat crossed legged.

"Tell us, what of this other sword?" Miroku asked.

The man was silent for a moment "Well, you see-

"Spit it out old man!" Inuyasha yelled,

"You have the sword of heaven, she has the sword of earth-

"Hell" Sango spoke, everyone looked at her,

"What?" Kagome asked,

"Yes, I get it now" Miokru turned to Inuyasha "Think Inuyasha, heaven and earth, the only thing left is-

"Hell" Inuyasha cut him off,

"Beware, the sword of hell is of higher evil, your father was the only being able to hold that sword" The old man shivered,

"It have even me the chills" The old man said "Inuyasha, stay away from the sword, but even more so keep your brother away from it, I do no know if he is strong enought to hold it, you both may be consumed by its evil"

"But Sesshomaru is already evil" Kagome stated,

"Right, if he gets his hands on that sword, all off hell will break loose"

"Why not just purify it?" Miroku asked,

"Good luck with that young monk, I doubt even the little miko there could touch it, just remember, if you find it to stay away and keep Sesshomaru even farther away, you have been warned"

The with a moo of his cow, he was gone.

The Inu group looked at each other, they may have won the battle so far, but the war has not even started.
