Four chapters, Three reviews...I guess I'm cool with that. BETTER THEN
NONE!
Chapter 4: No Weapons Fo' Yu!
"Guess what!" Sashimi said after she took them through their form a couple of times and shattered their pride.
"What?" Inu Yasha asked.
"We're about to work on sword fighting!" She did a flip.
"Swordfighting?" Inu Yasha said. "When am 'I' ever going to use a sword?"
Sashimi smiled secretly, "You'd be surprised."
She reached into her big pink sack and pulled some sheathed swords. She tossed one to Inu Yasha, Sesshomaru, and Shio.
"Why do I have one?" Shio asked.
"Because you are going to be Inu Yasha's sword fighting partner." She said pulling a sword out for herself.
"I think I'd like to fight with the fox/dog." Sesshomaru said. He just wanted a reason to stick Shio.
"No, you outweigh him and are much taller as well." She made a practice swish with her sword. "I'm better suited as your dualing partner." Then they stood in a box like row. Inu Yasha across from Shio, and Sesshomaru across from Sashimi. "Draw your swords and salute your partner." She said. They all pulled their swords out and laid the tips on their partners shoulders.
She ran them through the basics of sword fighting, lunges and stuff like that, then they got to fight each other for a fixed number or minutes. Inu Yasha swung at Shio, but Shio was much quicker. He blocked his blade and unleashed a fury of combinations on the half dog demon. Sashimi and Sesshimaru were blocking each other's blows, they hit swords and strained to push each other back. Well, at least Sesshomaru strained. Sashimi pushed him back and glanced at Inu Yasha and Shio's dual. "Hey! Shio! Give Inu Yasha a chance to hit you!" she said.
Inu Yasha felt stupid because of that comment. Shio sighed, "Fine!" he purposely left himself open. Inu Yasha swung his sword and knocked Shio onto the ground. Shio looked up at her. "There! Happy!"
"I didn't say to let him win! I said to give him a chance!" she said. Sesshomaru came at her with a couple of quick swings.
Shio jumped onto his feet and said, "Well make up your mind!"
Inu Yasha was examining the blade. "Hey, Sashimi!" he said. "What's up with these swords! They're not even sharp!" Suddenly Shio flew at him and wacked him in the head.
"DAH!" Inu Yasha rubbed his head and countered another sword swing.
"Yeah, but they hurt like hell!" Shio said glancing at the lump on Inu Yasha's head.
Later on, Shio got the fire started and Sashimi started to boil tea over it while telling them facts and rules about sword play. "And did you know, that cutting off the topknot of your opponent in battle in against the law for humans and punishable by death? It's interesting!"
"Humans." Sesshomaru sneered. "Why even let them live?"
Inu Yasha frowned and was about to say something when Sashimi said, "Believe it or not Sesshomaru, but humans actually make good companions."
"What? You actually like them?" he asked.
"Not all humans are bad." She smiled over at Inu Yasha and winked. He looked away and his face felt hot. She handed them each a cup. "I don't know. I guess you're either a human person or a youkai person." She smiled and looked from either brother to the other. "And then there are some of us who are both."
They watched her smile and take a sip of her tea. It was a mysterious statement. And both of them wondered if it suggested something.

I got something really funny planned for a coming chapter. Coming soon: More of Sashimi's training, and she sends Inu Yasha and Shio into town to have their "Sex Talk."
