Playful Times (sometimes not) Chapter 25

"Talking"

'Thinking'

A week after Miroku and Sango's wedding

Things where going well for Sota at Totosai's cave. He'd only been there ten days and Totosai was ready to talk with him about his status as an apprentice.

"Since there's been a lull in orders for the last few months. Not that I've ever been overworked to begin with. But you seem to have no problem keeping this place clean and orderly in fact I can't work hard enough to make it dirty. I'm going to start teaching you the art of swordsmithing tomorrow."

Upon hearing this Sota walked outside and did a little victory dance. After that was done he noticed a familiar scent on the wind. Looking to the north of the cave he saw Rin coming towards the cave with a convoy of two soldiers and another who looked like a messenger.

Not bothering to go in to tell Totosai because he was sure he already knew he went to greet Rin. The messenger went to the cave having been a ways ahead of the other three. When he made it to Rin her two guards said that they were now heading back to the castle and would hope to see her in three weeks.

"What was that about?" Sota asked

"Nothing just the fact that there will be a ball in three weeks and we're supposed to arrive at uncle Inuyasha's the day before."

"I see. And the reason your here is?"

"To see you, baka." Rin replied as she embraced Sota causing his face to turn red.

"To see me? It's only been three weeks since we met last."

"Yes to long if you ask me."

Now Sota's face could be mistaken for a ripe tomato. Fortunately for him he was saved further embarrassment by Totosai standing at the entrance of his cave.

"Okay you two lovebirds break it up me and this pup have some work to do before we leave for your brother-in-law's."

Two Weeks Later

Souta was feeling very proud of himself at the moment because he had just finished his first weapon using one of his fangs. It was an ornate knife that's about a foot and a half long and shaped like a boomerang (Google Kukri if you wish to see what it looks like). The previous week he had given a copy to Dimitri to make a sheath for it.

Over the last two weeks he had spent a bit of time with Rin getting to know her. And finding that he had started growing quite fond of the human turned hanyou feeling more calm and focused when she was around not really knowing why though. But he knew that he wished to be with her for a long time to come.

He was awakened from his musings when Totosai came up and said. "I hope that the results from that first try is proof of what your future work is going to look like boy. Or is it that this is for someone." he finished with a twinkle in his eye.

"F-f-f-for what do you mean? I don't know what your talking about." Souta answered acting flustered.

"Oh to be young and in love." Totosai mumbled as he turned to leave.

In another corner of Japan

"Finally I'm free. I'll get you for locking me away Sesshomaru and Inuyasha your going to get to know me so well you'll hate me for it." Our mysterious antagonist said. "Now I just have to find the nearest town to find out what I've been missing."
