Chapter 29: The power of Tenseiga

" Yes! I know what to do!" Exclaimed Asangi waking up everyone.
She, Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Rin and Kouga had taken the night shift at the hospital.

"Oi, what the hell are you blabbering at this time of the morning! It's still 3 am.!"

Asangi rolled her eyes "Ok… fine if you are not in a hurry to save you mom then…."

"what? What is it?" asked a really excited Inuyasha, Asangi smiled seeing his eyes light up after so many days, and looked at Sesshomaru "You. Tenseiga. Hurry up." Was all she said

Sesshomaru gave her a confuse look "Excuse me?"

"You heard me. You have to use Tenseiga. It's our only hope"

"But I never used it before…."

"There is always a first time for everything Sesshy…." Said Rin smiling at him softly.

"Ok then, I'll do it. Inform the others too."

At the Higurashi shrine

Kagome was sitting on her bed with Rocky trying to fit together two pieces of the manuscript 'Omoi No Hate Ni'. She had got the other piece from her sister. Anyways she was sable to fit them perfectly and they fused together as soon as the touched each other "Good".

_

Sesshomaru stared at Izayoi. "You can do it" said Kouga
He took a deep breath and concentrated, and he saw it, he saw a ball of black smoke just below her throat and instinctively he sliced it with his sword Tenseiga.

Everyone held their breath.

Izayoi' s eyes fluttered open and Sesshomaru helped her up.
After a lot of hugging and Sesshomaru being squeezed by everyone which he undoubtedly found annoying, "Mom, what happened? Who did this?"
She sighed, "It was Magathsuhi…."
"Umm… who?" asked the girls in unison.

Inutaisho motioned for everyone to sit and they all sat on the ground and looked expectantly at him like little children.

"It all began almost 11 years ago. All of us were great friends, me, Izayoi, Kagome's parents, a few other people and also this guy called Magathsuhi….
Izayoi, just like for everyone showed a lot of affection but Magathsuhi fell in love with her and also got the wrong impression on her…. After the two of us started dating…. He still went after her, but things got worse after we got married.
He just lost it and he started planning to kill me and stuff but…. Hiroto, Kagome's father figured it all out. He warned Magathsuhi several times but after an year or so I fell into a coma after he tried to kill me in a fatal accident Hiroto got enough of it.
One day… while Hiroto was sick, Magathsuhi went to his place and…. Tried to kill him but Hiroto was able to overpower him until….."

"Until…?" asked Ayame

"Kagome…. Well, she was really young and she kind of jumped in the middle of the battle because it was Hiroto' s time for medicine and Magathsuhi took advantage of it and when he went to strike Kagome with one of his tentacles poisoned with Yami, Hiroto jumped to cover her. This wounded him really badly but he was able to purify him…. Not completely but enough for Kagome and Kikyou to grow up and Souta to be born safely. And now…. He has come back for revenge and….I'm sure he's in search of the manuscript…."

"What a bastard….but what's this manuscript?" asked Miroku confused like the rest of the audience

Izayoi smiled "Well, you must known that Hiroto was not the only a successful musician but also a wonderful composer, he composed a manuscript to bring joy to negative minds when he learnt he was becoming a father (Korari was expecting Kikyou) so later on Hiroto started working on this manuscript against evil but he was somewhat out of ideas and he needed some kind of trigger…. Well, until he got to know he was expecting Kagome…. The thought of having another child brought him such joy that he made this manuscript called 'Omoi No Hate Ni? which can be used against evil but if it falls in the wrong hands… it can be used for evil purposes as well…..
But Hiroto was not the only musician. Magathsuhi was one too and was really envious of Hiroto so when he got to know about the manuscript 'Omoi No Hate Ni' he became greedy and wanted it so badly. Another reason for wanting to kill our dear friend."

Inuyasha remembered something "Yeah… but… hasn't the manuscript been divided? One is with Kagome, which she bought in some shop with me, and another one is with Kikyou…"

"Yeah… the manuscript was divided into 3 parts by Hiroto just in time before Magathsuhi came for him… He gave one to Kikyou, and one was kept with himself but was stolen by Magathsuhi after their battle"

"And the third?"

"Is with me" said Inutaisho smirking as he showed off dangling a small transparent tube attached to a chain. The tube contained an old looking paper rolled inside, everyone gaped at it.

"That's right… The other trustworthy person he could give it to was definitely his best friend—" but he had to stop what he was saying when he felt a sharp pain. Izayoi screamed. Inutaisho looked down and saw two tentacles covered in his own blood piercing his upper body. He spat blood.

"Thank you so much my old friend…." Came a loud whisper from behind the great dog demon.

Magathsuhi.

He retrieved his tentacles and Inutaisho fell to the ground gasping, not before snatching the chain.
He smiled and looked at it adoringly "I was looking for this for so fucking long…"
In the mean while the guys had stood up, seething in rage. Inuyasha took his sword looking pendant from his chain and transformed it in his sword Testusaiga and launched at Magathsuhi yelling "You! I'm going to kill you!" but stopped dead in his tracks when he saw him pointing his tentacles at Izayoi' s neck "Tsk, tsk, tsk… now there… we don't want your beautiful mother to fall in another coma now do we? Or perhaps… face death?" he laughed seeing the looks on everyone's faces. "Well, at least now, from the story you've heard and from what you just saw, you know I'm not a person to be fucked with, right?"

"You… You are a monster!" cried Ayame

"I know… and I also know that all of you want to kill me so badly so…. Why not have a battle? All of you against me… Tomorrow. 5 p.m. here in front of the hospital. Be ready!" and with that he disappeared.

"Someone call a doctor!" called Rin.

"He won't get away with this…" whispered Inuyasha as he clenched his fist.

Meanwhile at the Higurashi cave

Kagome screamed. She screamed. And screamed. Hiroto and Midoriko had shown her everything that had happened at the hospital.
"All because of a manuscript! What a monster!" and she fell to her knees.

"I'm so sorry dear Kagome…. And that is why you have to stop him. Not your friends but you."

"Yes, I will put an end to this."

The next day

"It's almost time papa…"

"Yes dear…"

Midoriko came forward, "Here…" and with that she lifted her hand and a light formed around Kagome.
After a few seconds Kagome found herself wearing a short miko outfit. (A/N: You can find the picture on facebook) A flute was attached to her belt at her waist.
"what's this for?" she asked pointing at it
"You have to join the last piece of the manuscript and play it. It will weaken him a lot, trust me"
"Yes Midoriko – sama"

Kagome took the pen Inuyasha had given her and transformed it into a bow and looked at it. "what should I do about the others?"

"well…. You might need some help for this…"

At the hospital

Everyone was ready. (Everyone is wearing their anime outfits for this battle) Asangi, Keira, Kikyou, Korari and Suikotsu were present as well but the five of the except for Kikyou and Keira, had come to look after Inutaisho and Izayoi.

They saw Magathsuhi standing in the middle of the hospital ground.

"let's go guys" said Sango as she clenched her Hiraikotsu but as she said that" Souta bust from the door with Rocky on his shoulder.
"Really sorry guys but I got an order from Kagome and papa not to let you out of this room!" and with that him threw a ball of crystal on the ground which formed a barrier, now everyone present in your room was trapped inside.

"Oi brat! You out of your mind?" asked Inuyasha
"Well guys…. This is our father's will…. He does not want us to be the ones fighting Magathsuhi" said a smiling Kikyou
"Wait…. So all of this was actually planned?" asked Asangi "Yep" said a happy Souta
"How come I did not know any of this, I'm your mother!" said a mad Korari
"I'm sorry mom, but knowing you…. You would have never let this happen…" said Kikyou "besides papa asked this us this favor personally…."
"What?" asked everyone "Yep…" replied Souta
"Wait…." Interrupted Sesshomaru "If WE are here…. Who's fighting Magathsuhi?"

"Guess who?" asked a sadly smiling Souta
"who?" asked everyone else.
"Everybody look!" said Izayoi and Inutaisho and everyone rushed to the big window which was large enough for everyone to see what was happening at the hospital grounds.
Kagome advanced towards Magathsuhi, she stopped and closed her eyes as she whispered "Papa, and Midoriko – sama are with me. You can do this. You have to Kagome" and she glanced at the window and for a moment she caught Inuyasha' s gaze upon her.
"No…" whispered Kikyou "No one said me it would've been Kagome!" she said shocked which left the others speechless as well.

She turned towards Magathsuhi "Oh look who's here! Hiroto' s murderer"
"Keep quiet monster" she seethed "and hand me over the manuscript"

"Make me…" he smirked.

A/N: so? What do you guys think so far? What's going to happen?
