The Curse of a Half-Demon
-Chapter 24-
A Visit to Totosai (A day later)

Inuyasha had his arms crossed on the couch looking at the broken Tetsusaiga on the table in the middle of the room. Everybody was staring at Inuyasha angrily because he was the one that broke it. But, it wasn't really him. It was Kanna's mirror.

"Well!? How are you going to fix it!?" Asked Sango.

"I don't know Demon Slayer! All I know it was made by my father's fang!" Answered Inuyasha.

"Anyway, Myoga? Do you know anyone that can fix Tetsusaiga?" Asked Miroku.

Myoga was sitting next to Tetsusaiga with his arms crossed. He was thinking who would be the best person to fix Tetsusaiga in 2 or 3 days. Then the idea came to his head.

"We need to visit Totosai. He'll be able to fix it. He was the one that created the Tetsusaiga," said Myoga.

"Where does he exactly live, Myoga?" Asked Kagome.

"He lives in the mountains North from here. It'll take about 3 or 4 hours to get there."

Kagome sighed in relief. "[At least it's not the mountains behind my house!]"

"Is he an old man like you, Myoga?" Asked Shippo.

"I'm not old okay!? Totosai is old! You'll see when you meet him. But I have to warn you he's a little deaf and has a hard time to remember stuff."

"Aren't old people suppose to be that way?"

"Yes, but Totosai is worse then that!"

"Well, what are we waiting for! LET'S GO!!!" Said Kagome.

"A-hem!" Kagome turned around and saw her mom giving her an evil glare. She was tapping her foot and had a spoon and a pan in her hands. "Go where?"

"We're going to go visit a guy name Totosai so he can fix Tetsusaiga. It might take all afternoon and-"

"ABSOUTLY NOT!!"

"But mom!"

"No buts young lady! You might run into one of those demons again and get seriously hurt!"

"Don't worry Mrs. Higurashi! But we need Kagome with us just in case she needs to purify some of the demons. So I'll watch over her for you!" Said Miroku. Mrs. Higurashi just stared. Then she hit him in the head with her pan.

"I don't think you can watch her. But she can go! Inuyasha!" He flinched when his name was called. "I'm counting on you to look after Kagome and to make sure she is SAFE and SOUND with NO wounds on her BODY when she comes home! UNDERSTAND!?"

"Y-Yes ma'am!" Said Inuyasha.

"At least I can trust you because you have been living here for almost 2 months."

"Wait! So if I move in here, you will trust me more?" Asked Miroku. Mrs. Higurashi hit him in the head with the pan again which made him unconcious.

"No way he's not living in this house! You better keep your promise Inuyasha! If you don't, I'm going to kick you out!"

That scared Inuyasha. She turned around and walked to her kitchen to continue to cook lunch for Grandpa. Miroku was still unconcious. Myoga jumped on Sango's shoulder while she drags Miroku outside with Kirara by her side. Shippo followed them.

Kagome grabbed Inuyasha's arm and they walked out of the house too. When they got out, Kirara already transformed. Miroku was still unconcious on Kirara and Sango was in front as always. Shippo was on Sango's shoulder while Myoga is on the other one.

"Here! Get on!" Commanded Inuyasha. He bend down and went on one knee. To let his hands go behind him so he can give Kagome a piggy-back ride. She went on his back and they both waited for Kirara to go on ahead.

Kirara went off and Inuyasha followed her. Kagome was hanging on tight to his kimono and was blushing at the same time. She kept replaying the kissing scene yesterday and the words he said to her.

*~*~

Miroku was concious and was happy to see Sango standing on the ground. They have arrived at the mountain. They saw a cave that leads inside the mountain. There was hardly anything here. But it was kind of hot over there while in Tokyo it's cold. They wonder why...

Myoga jumped off of Sango's shoulder and jump his way in front of the cave.

"Totosai! Someone is here to get their weapon fixed!" Said Myoga. He jumped back on Sango's shoulder.

They heard footsteps coming from the cave. They waited as the footsteps became closer and louder. Finally when it stopped, an old man came out with a big hammer in his hand. He had a green kimono with black stripes on it. And he had a bull behind, a bull with three eyes.

Everybody was freaked out about that. But the old man wasn't paying attention to them. He had a sword in his hand and was looking at it.

"I'll get his attention!" Said Kagome. She walked to the old man and waited until the old man noticed her. He didn't so she spoke VERY slowly. "A-hem! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

The old man dropped the sword and grabbed the hammer and swung it at Kagome. Kagome ducked just in time to dodge it. She fell backwards on her bottom.

"You don't have to yell! I can her perfectly! Who are you anyway?" Asked the old man.

"My name is Kagome. We're here to get Tetsusaiga fixed."

"AND my toy top! Inuyasha clawed it in 3 pieces!" Said Shippo.

"It wasn't my fault!" Said Inuyasha.

"Yes it is! You were too blind to see it because of you being in your demon form! You idiot!"

Inuyasha and Shippo were having a staring contest. Miroku, Sango, Myoga and Kagome just ignored them and went to speak to the old man. Myoga went on Kagome's shoulder because she was closer to the old man.

"This is Totosai!" Said Myoga. "Totosai! This is Lady Kagome, that is Miroku, and that is Sango. The two over there are Inuyasha and Shippo."

"Inuyasha? Did I made Tetsusaiga for his father?" Asked Totosai.

"Yes, and now Inuyasha has it but it broke into two pieces yesterday."

"Broke! Then I'm going to have to fix it! Hmm...You half-demon! Get over here!"

Inuyasha stopped the staring contest against Shippo and looked at Totosai. He was confused but he knew he had to go where Totosai is. He walked over to the others with Shippo on his shoulder. When he got over to Totosai, he had a black thing in his hand.

"Open your mouth!" Commanded Totosai.

He did, but the question is: What is Totosai going to do? Totosai used the pliers to grab one of Inuyasha's fangs. The next thing he knew, Totosai used the pliers to pull one of his fangs out. Inuyasha yelled out in pain.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!" Screamed Inuyasha. He looked at the pliers in Totosai's hand. His fang was between the mouth of the pliers! Inuyasha clenched his fist and used it to bang Totosai's head. Which caused a big bump on his head. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?"

"I needed your fang to fix Tetsusaiga! But it'll take a day for it to be brand new!" Said Totosai.

"A DAY!? IT TAKES A DAY FOR YOU TO FIX A SWORD!?"

"Do you want me to work on it a little longer then?"

"NO!! I WANT IT FIXED NOW!!!"

"That's going to take a day!"

"Inuyasha! Just calm down, let him fix Tetsusaiga! In the mean time! Fix my toy top old man!" Said Shippo. He handed his toy top which was in 3 pieces. He put it in Totosai's hands and he looked at it. "How long will it take for you to fix it?"

"About 2 or 3 hours!" Said Totosai.

"WHAT!? IT TAKES 2 OR 3 HOURS TO FIX A TOY!? BUT NOT TETSUSAIGA!? IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU OLD MAN!?" Shouted Inuyasha.

"It's easy to fix a toy but not a sword!"

"I DON'T CARE!!"

"Inuyasha! Please will you calm down before you go berserk! Please excuse him Totosai. He has a bad temper!" Said Kagome. "Inuyasha! Shippo! Why don't you train with that bull?"

"His name is Momo! Go on, maybe you can practice dodging the lightning bolts!" Said Totosai.

"Whatever!" Said Inuyasha. Him and Shippo went to train with Momo. Inuyasha didn't really want to but he didn't want to sit all day and do nothing. Neither did Shippo, so he annoyed Inuyasha while he was dodging the lightning bolts. "Will you shut up!?"

"Why!? All I'm saying is that you're too slow like a turtle! And that you like to imagine Kagome in bed and-" Said Shippo. Before he said anything else, Inuyasha grabbed his tail and lift him up to his level.

"THAT IS NOT TRUE!! I DON'T IMAGINE THINGS LIKE THAT!! I'M NOT A PERVERT LIKE THAT MONK!!"

"MAYBE YOU ARE BECAUSE YOU SEEM TO BE SLEEPING IN KAGOME'S ROOM NOW! DO YOU SLEEP WITH HER TOO!?"

"I DIDN'T SLEEP WITH HER!! I NEVER SLEPT WITH HER!!!"

"YEAH RIGHT!! ...LOOK OUT!!"

"WHAT!?" The lightning bolt from Momo was heading to Inuyasha and Shippo. Inuyasha tried to move but there was all kinds of lightning bolts heading to them so they couldn't move...in other words, they're trapped.

When the lightning bolts hit them, they were shocked. (_ Get it?)

Everybody else saw it. They first chuckled and then they burst out laughing. Inuyasha's and Shippo's hair was puffed up and they kept blowing out some smoke out of their mouths. They couldn't move...so the only thing they can do was speak to each other.

"So...how does it feel to be actually shocked?" Asked Shippo.

"I-It's horrifying!" Answered Inuyasha.

"I agree! ....I'm thirsty, my mouth is dry!"

"Don't even think about it! You'll probably get shocked again."

"Aw! But my mouth is dry!"

"Too bad...you have to wait for an hour!"

"That really sucks!"

"(Hee-hee!)"

"I heard that!"

"Heard what?"

"You were laughing!! How long do I really have to wait?"

"You have to wait for about an hour! Like I said before!"

"Yeah right! You were laughing! So you're lying! Tell me the truth!"

"That is true!"

"No it isn't!!"

"Yes it is!!"

"Kagome! Is it true?"

She looked at him. "I don't know! I guess you have to wait for an hour! Nah...wait 30 min!"

"Really? Yay!"

"[Great! She has ruined all the fun once again!]" Said Inuyasha.

Inuyasha and Shippo decided not to train with Momo EVER again. When the 30 min. was up, Shippo asked Kagome for some water. But the problem is, she didn't bring any. Shippo was in shock once again! So all day while he waited for his toy to be finished, he complained about water with his mouth open.

"Water....water....water.....water.....water!" Said Shippo.

"Shut up!" Commanded Inuyasha.

"Water....WATER!!!!"

"I SAID SHUT UP!!"

"Water....I need water!"

"You're not going to get it if you dont' shut up!!"

"Water...water...water...Oh dear God please give me water!"

"THAT'S IT!! YOU'RE GETTING OFF THIS MOUNTAIN!!"

"What do you mean?"

"I'M GOING TO THROW YOU OFF THIS MOUNTAIN!!"

"WHAT!? YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!"

"I CAN AND I WILL!!"

"YOU'RE NOT EVEN MAN ENOUGH TO DO IT!!"

"WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT!!" Inuyasha grabbed Shippo's tail again and stretched his arm out to get ready to throw him. But Shippo's whining got in the way.

"Wah! Kagome! Inuyasha is going to throw me off the mountain!!" Complained Shippo.

"INUYASHA....SIT!!" Before Inuyasha threw Shippo off the mountain, he hit the ground flat on his face. Shippo managed to get out of his hand and ran to Kagome's arms. Shippo was saying all kinds of things about Inuyasha.

"He's a big MEANY!! He was about to kill MEEEEEEEE!!"

"Don't worry Shippo. I know you're innocent."

"[Innocent!?] You call that INNOCENT!? He kept saying the word 'water' over and over again and it was getting on my nerves!!" Angered Inuyasha.

"You should've just walked away from him," said Kagome.

"I don't walk away from anything!! I just face it until I can't handle it anymore!!"

"Still, that doesn't give you a right to throw him off the mountain!!"

"I didn't try!! I was about to until you said that 's' word!!"

"Don't make me say it again!!"

"Go ahead!! SEE IF I CARE....NO WAIT DON'T TO IT!!"

"SIT BOY!!"

He made lots of cracks in the ground every time he hits the ground flat on his face. Maybe he'll never learn NOT to make Kagome angry. It'll just give him a crack on his face or it'll break his skull!

After a couple of hours later, Totosai fixed Shippo's toy top. He was so happy that he kept changing into people again. That made Inuyasha pissed because of what happened a couple of days ago. Another reason he's pissed: his Tetsusaiga won't be fixed until tomorrow.

"Thank you Totosai! One of us will come by here tomorrow to pick up Tetsusaiga!" Said Kagome.

"That's not going to happen! Because I'm going to stay here!!" Said Inuyasha.

"Oh...so you'll stay here all alone...with no one to talk to besides Momo....and Totosai...maybe not him because he'll be fixing Tetsusaiga. But it will be wierd if you just talked to a bull all day and night. People will think you're crazy!"

Inuyasha knows what she's trying to do. Make him come back home. And it was working...so he gave in and decides to come back tomorrow. They all gave Totosai a warm goodbye before they left...except for Inuyasha.

Inuyasha used his fist to bang Totosai's head again. Also, Inuyasha had an evil glare in his eyes.

"You better fix Tetsusaiga when I come tomorrow! If you don't, I'm going to kill you by my claws you old man!!" Said Inuyasha.

"Yeah, yeah! Whatever! Now go if you want me to fix Tetsusaiga!!" Said Totosai.

Inuyasha had Kagome on his back and went on ahead to Kagome's house. The same people were on Kirara's back and they followed Inuyasha. But he was pissed at Totosai.

"[Man! That still hurts when he pulled out my fang! Now I have to wait until it grows back!! That old man!!!]" Said Inuyasha.

He'll get a new fang...eventually! But who knows when! Let's just hopes he gets it back before he dies...IF he dies. Hopefully by that time Kagome will say those 3 words. Of course we all don't want Inuyasha to die.
