Chapter 11!!
Hey people, sorry that I haven't update sooner, it's just that school started and I got HOMEWORK and my limits on the computer were cut down. So don't always be expecting me to update every week like i've been doing.
Well! In this chapter: Totousai learns of Rin's life a special abilities as a human, but there is something different about her that Totousai notices. He makes her a new sword with great power like the Tetsusaiga and the secret that lays within her is the key to her tapping into the power of her sword. A lot of twists and turns in this one, so buckle your seatbelts, we're going on a bumpy ride... (that was wack) but any way...
BTW: I'll try my best to do Totousai crazy character! Don't sue me okay!

New Sword, New Training!
*Clink* *Clink* *Clink* "What, what the?" Rin said waking up to the sound of something being hammered down. "Where, where am... I?" Rin opened her eyes to see a dark cave with lighted torches on the stone walls. She looked down at her own self and saw she was only wearing her emerald kimono Aya had made her. Under the pacthes of her ripped kimono were bandages.
"So you're finally awake, aren't cha!" An old man's voice called from behind her.
Rin turned gingerly and looked at the man behind her. He was hammering down a sword, her sword and blew fire from his mouth, on it. 'Who's this guy? And what is he doing to my sword?' Rin turned her whole body towards him and looked at him questionally as he looked over to her. "Who are you?"
"Well! I am... uhhhh. Who am I again?" Totousai asked himself while looking around the room to jog his memory.
Rin sighed, 'Oh, great, I'm in a cave with a crazy old geezer...'
"Ah! Now I remember! I'm Totousai, a swordsmith!" He said with a happy grin on his face like he had just accomplished a lifetime dream.
Rin placed her hand on her chin, "Totousai huh? Well, I'm Rin. And what exactly are you doing to my sword?" She asked pointing to it in his hand.
"Oh this, I got bored and I decided to fix it up, it had a lot of tiny cracks in it. I decided to call it the Raikou." Totousai said as he gave it some last few hammerings.
"Raikou, nice name for a sword." Rin said with a smile. She got up and noticed her wounds weren't that bad anymore, and she was able to move without much pain. "I feel great."
"You should, you've been sleeping for 3 days. That's plenty of time for a person like you to heal." Totousai said handing her sword to her. "Raikou is all fixed up!"
Rin looked at his back questionally as he walked deeper into the cave, "Hey wait!" Rin caught up to him and was in a room with demon parts and metal. Totousai was placing a few demon fangs together in one pile.
"Totousai, what did you mean "A person like me?"
Totousai turned around and scratched his head, "Did I say that? I don't think I did? Who are you again?"
"Oh forget it!" Rin said feeling annoyed. 'Stupid dried up metal bender! (A/N: Can you guess who else says that?) I bet he wouldn't even know it if was morning or night if he were standing outside... speaking of outside, I better try out my new sword.'
*~*
Totousai picked up a few demon bones and placed them on a table. He then raised his hammer and shattered a few of them, he continued this, thinking, 'That girl is different from a normal human. Usually- I wouldn't pick up the scent of a human that far away, when I found her yesterday. Even at my old age I shouldn't be able to smell or sense her. If my guess is correct she's going to be able to weild the power of her new sword.'
*~*
"Raikou!" Rin yelled slashing down a tree with one swing. The strike didn't need that much strength or speed, the power seemed to come from the sword itself.
She jumped high into the air and slashed her sword downward to the ashy ground. When she struck it, the ash hung around in the air and when it clear, the size of the hole from her attack was nearly as big as a spider demon. 'Wow, whatever the idiot, Totousai, did to my sword, it really packs a new punch.'
Rin continued stroking and hitting invisible targets with her new and improved sword and Totousai watched her from in his cave. Soon when he noticed her sitting down to rest, he walked out to her.
Rin heard him approaching her and she turned to look at him, "Something wrong?"
"No, no. Can't an old man have a talk with a young lady, like you, about yourself?" Totousai explained sitting down next to her.
"Uh sure, umm... what do you want to know?"
"Well, tell me about your life up until now."
Rin looked at the active volcano a few miles away from where she was, "Well, I promise you'll go to sleep but- I'll explain anyway," Rin then started explaining her life, from the beginning, to where she was now. All the while she kept her gaze on the volcano, watching the magma fall down the side of it and seeing small patches of grass burn under the heat of the lava. She began explaining her encounter with Sesshoumaru and how he revived her and how she began to become attached to him. Then how she met up with Inuyasha and her capture by Naraku and then she finish with, "And now I'm here in a pit."
"No wonder I smelled dog when I found you. You must have a thing for dog demons, brothers, better yet." Totousai didn't notice he'd been hit on the head until the huge bruse formed where an angry Rin hit him. "I didn't say anything, why'd you hit an old man, I don't know you."
"Will you cut the innocent crap! It's really annoying ya know," she stood up and faced the volcano. "For some reason, I feel like that volcano. For a while, all that was inside me and was locked up, started to all pour out. I've been pouring out what I've been keeping locked up for 10 years. I started when..."
"When you met the older brother, Sesshoumaru." Totousai answered for her. "Listen Rin, have you ever seen any strange markings on your parents before they died?"
She turned around and looked at him a little confused. "Markings, like demon markings?"
"Yes, or something that looked like scars."
Rin thought for a moment and looked at Totousai suprisingly. "Well, my... my dad had these two redish lines on each side of his back and on his legs. He told me that everyone in his family had to get those to prove they were ready to leave the family." 'Now that I think about it, I never got those markings, looks like I'm never apart from my family...' she thought with a smile.
"Then it is what I suspected, your father was half dog-demon."
Rin dropped her arms and widened her eyes in shock. "My father... a-a half demon? But, but he didn't have claws or fangs or anything like that."
"He must have been in a human form until his time for his transformation." Totousai paused and a thought came to mind. "Did he ever leave once a month at any special time?"
Rin frowned, "Listen, there was always the time of the half moon where he would go with a few of his friends and drink sake and gamble." Rin looked at Totousai's expression and could see he was serious. "Oh come on! I can't be a 1/4 of a dog demon!"
"Those night's, your father turned into his half-demon form. He didn't wish for anyone to know, so- he left until the morning." Totousai stood up and pulled her sword out of it's sheath. "Your new sword, Raikou, has the power to make a powerful lightning attack called the Lightning Blade. It's a powerful technique that can give anyone who's hit by it a powerful shock that will kill them instantly. But the only way you can use this power is to connect with your demon side."
Rin was shaking her head in disbelief, "No, no, I don't believe you, I don't look, nor feel demon. I know my father never lied to me! So don't expect me to believe all this nonsense!" Rin yelled starting to cry from frustration.
"Do you really want proof you're 1/4 demon?"
Rin looked down at her feet and back at him, "I want to see what proof you have."
"Take off your kimono, uff!" Totousai asked but was soon hit on the head by a steaming Rin. "I mean take off the sleaves of your kimono! I'm getting too old for this..." He mumbled.
"Fine," She slid down her sleve exposing her bare shoulders and back. "Where is the proof, Totousai?"
Totousai rubbed the bump on his head and then walked over to her and pointed to her upper arm. "You see here..." Rin looked and saw the line he was tracing, it was a light red mark tracing down to her forearm. "And here..." He then walked to the other arm and showed her the light red marking's stopping at her forearm. He then pulled her kimono in the back lower, and traced two lines on each side, "You can't see them but the same exact marks from your father are on you. Proving... you are a half demon."
Rin dropped to her knees still staring in shock at her arm. 'I can't believe that I'm 1/4 of a dog-demon. I... I had no idea.' Rin breathed deep and grabbed her Raikou out of his hands. "Alright, I understand now that I'm part dog-demon. How do I tap into my blood to make this Lightning Blade work?" Rin pulled up her kimono and held up her sword.
"First, look deep inside yourself for that energy that always pushes you in battle."
Rin closed her eyes and then opened them to see black clouds all around her with tiny bolts of lightning flashing in them. "I-I see clouds and tiny bolts of lightning, Totousai." She said still excitedly, but still concentrating on not losing the energy.
"This will be hard, but pull that energy into your sword and if you do, tell me what happens."
'Pull it in? I'll try.' Rin stared hard at the clouds and then at her sword, 'I just have to concentrate my energy into the sword like it was an extention of my arm.' Rin did so and the tiny bolts of lightning started striking her sword and filling it with energy. Soon giant bolts were hitting it and Rin could feel the energy begging to be released.
"What's happening Rin?" Totousai asked seeing the ring of yellow light illuminate around the Raikou.
"The bolts are hitting the sword and powering it up." Rin could feel the urge to let the power go, she wanted to fufill the desire of the sword by letting the energy loose, so she swung the sword back and swiped forward; the surge of lightning energy rippled out of her sword and to the far trees. Rin could see the regular picture now as the trees began to dissolve like they'd been hit by acid.
"Now that is the power of the sword, but you need to learn how to control the energy. You can't give into its wants, you need to be in total control."
Rin breathed deep and looked at the sword, "I needed to let the power go for some reason, I couldn't hold it off." Rin was starting to worry, Maybe it meant that she wasn't strong enough to weild a sword like the Raikou.
"Now Rin, all you have to do is be in more control. With enough training you can master is perfectly and use it without having to withstand the needs of the sword." Totousai sighed and stared blankly at her.
Rin cocked and eyebrow and waved a hand in front of his face. "Um, Totousai, Totousai? Are you okay?"
His eyes twitched and he pushed her away, "What do you want?! Go away; can't an old man have some peace."
"This will be a very long training time with a crazy fool like him." Rin sheathed her sword and followed Totousai into his cave.
