Chapter 70
I think Izayoi is old enough for her own sword. I think so. She's what, like seven? I think. Either way, she needs a damn sword. Not just to keep her demon in check - although I think that's an important thing to think about - but to protect herself. Eventually the twins will need one too. If they have human nights, then they've got enough youkai to be worried about. Again, I think that.
Know what Kagome hears? I want to give a sharp, potentially lethal weapon to small children when a newborn is due any day now. All she hears is danger. But what's gunna be more dangerous? Izayoi losing her damn mind and killing all of us in our sleep? Izayoi or the twins not knowing how to protect themselves? You won't let me teach them to fight. You won't let me give them a sword or even a knife. They may go to the modern era but they live here. She wants me to make something like a bracelet or some girly bullshit until they're older. How the fuck they gunna protect themselves with a piece of jewelry?! It's not practical.
Oh, but its not practical to carry a sword in her era she says. They don't need it there. If there's danger they can just go through the well. BULLSHIT! We're not always within running distance to the well. So why don't we get them both, I said. Oh no, that's too much for small children to handle and keep track of. They'll lose one of them. And I admitted they've lost a lot of toys but this is different. It's a matter of life and death here bitch! Just because this village doesn't run us out right now doesn't mean it'll stay that way forever. And hell, you or I or both might get killed one day and then what're they gunna do?
So, long story short, they are getting bracelets.
