Summary: Inuyasha reflects on his relationship with Kagome and his need to protect her and
Tetsusaiga from Sesshoumaru.
I do not have many memories of Sesshoumaru before I was sealed to the tree. All I remember is
that I have hated and feared him all of my life. Maybe it is because he thinks of me as worthless.
hanyo.
For most of my life he has ignored me as not worth his time. He only sought me out to force me to reveal the location of Tetsusaiga.
His cruelty knew no bounds. He could have just tried to force me to reveal the location of the jewel. Instead, he made me think that the nowoman was my mother He proceeded to threaten her with his oni use to try to find the information. In the end he simply destroyed the woman who looked like my mother. This was reason that I followed into my father's grave.
He cares nothing for me. He had told Jaken to kill me as soon as the location of Father's Grave was revealed.. When he discovered its location he pulled out my eyeball without a second thought.
When I entered the grave I knew that I could not match his speed or weaponry. It was only my
anger that caused me to ignore my natural fear of him.
What I found instead was the will to fight. Her name is Kagome.
It was she who told me to follow Sesshoumaru into my father's grave.
It was she who told me to try to draw the sword.
It was she who stood up to Sesshoumaru with a rusty sword. Of course she was rewarded
by being buried in dokkaosou. Tetsusaiga protected her with its sheath.
For some reason seeing her buried like that gave me additional power and speed which I had not
had previously.
When she cried I felt the need to protect her Tetsusaiga responded to my need to protect her by
coming to live and cutting off Sesshoumaru's left arm.
The next time we faced Sesshoumaru, he took Tetsusaiga. He mocked me by showing me its
true.power.
But Kagome would not simply sit still and watch Sesshoumaru kill me with Tetsusaiga she reversed the transformation of Tetsusaiga. When Sesshoumaru responded by attacking her, my speed and strength had increased so much that I was able to stop him and even leave him an extra stripe on his face.
When Kagome continued to fire arrows at Sesshoumaru, he knocked her unconscious and tried to
kill her with the Wind Scar I could not let this happen. Even though he put his poison claws through my stomach and out the other side I would not let swing Tetsusaiga and kill Kagome with the Wind Scar. Even though I was unconscious. after taking back Tetsusaiga I would not let him take back Tetsusaiga or injure Kagome.
Now Sesshoumaru has Tokujin. Now he has another ally that wants my blood.
I say never. Never will he take Tetsusaiga. It is mine and he can never have it.
I say never. Never will he harm Kagome. If I have to send her home forever, he will not harm her. It is because she is by my side that I have the strength and courage to face him..Without her
Sesshoumaru would destroy me with ease.
As long I have breath in my body, I will never let him hurt Kagome or take Tetsusaiga.
I will never let the bastard win.
