Chapter 14: Two Tetsusaigas, one?!

"Hey, did we miss anything?" Sango and Miroku said, walking into the room with Kagura.

"Wha?! You were here the whole time?!" InuYasha blurted out.

"Sure, Kagura picked us up right after Sesshomaru jumped off, she dropped us off and hurried off to save you. Word travels fast to Naraku, huh, Kagura?" Sango explained.

"He has…ways…of getting his information." Kagura said darkly.

"Another reason Kagura is of great help to us. She knows secrets about Naraku that no living person knows." Sesshomaru added.

"Who cares about Naraku right now?! We've handled him in the past, this new demon, she is the unknown. What do we know?!" InuYasha asked, slightly agitated.

"One: She's after mikos. Two: She's probably after Kagome. Three: She needs Inu, InuYasha, and Kagome all together. Four: She claims that she's both Inus' and Sesshomaru's sister. And Five: she doesn't seem to care about the Shikon Jewel. Other than that, nothing." Miroku summed up.

"Okay, so we have to protect Kagome at all costs, figure out the brother's lineage, figure out her weaknesses AND find out why she's after us. Well, that shouldn't be too hard." Sango said sarcastically.

"Ahem," Sesshomaru coughed, "I think I may be able to tell you about that last part, if you'll let me tell my story."

"Whee!" Rin came running into the room, "A story! Let me listen, Fluffy!"

"Rin…" Sesshomaru sighed, picking her up and handing her to Kagura, "Kagura, will you take Rin to her room and read her a story?"

"Of course, 'Fluffy', come now, Rin." Kagura said, giggling slightly over his nickname, as she always did. Amazing what he lets this girl get away with. She thought to herself, walking out of the room.

"As I was saying, this legend, it says that there aren't just two swords made from father's fangs, there were at least five, and mine…" he unsheathed Tensaiga, turning it so it seemed to dance with fire from the light, "…is unique, because it is the only one of its kind."

"What are you saying? That Tetsusaiga is actually more than one sword?" InuYasha inquired skeptically.

"Exactly, you see, the Tetsusaiga, by itself, was much too powerful for anyone to control safely, you see, there were two sides, one for the demon side of you, and one for the human side, yours supplements your human side, and I suspect…" he pointed a clawed finger at Inu, "…that his is for the demon side."

"What?!" InuYasha yelled.

"Yes, you see, you turn fully human during the new moon, and, if not for Tetsusaiga, you would turn demon during the full moon, understand?"

"I-I think so…"

"His sword does the opposite, during the full moon, he turns fully demon, but he doesn't turn back to human on the new moon."

"So, If I can combine them…" InuYasha started.

"Then you could be half demon for the whole month." Sesshomaru completed his sentence for him.

"So, shouldn't we be getting them put together?"

"Well, we would, but there are two things, you need someone of even greater skill than Totosai to repair them, and there is more to the legend."

"What is it, then?"

"It's hard to make out, but here it is." He produced a simple black book, no title, just solid black, and opened to a page near the end.

There is who can ree the w of the w, but they must e, and only of a miko can set loose the within.

"What the hell is this?!" InuYasha said, clearly becoming agitated.

"It's all there is, the letters and words were deliberately removed, as if someone didn't want us to figure it out."

A/N: Very slightly late, but not by much. A couple of idiots got rid of my notebook with the chapter in it, so I had to start from scratch. Almost everything in this chapter was different than it was on paper, but I'm pretty happy at how it turned out. Ah well.
