A/N: Yo... Word up ppls. Thanks to my friends for reviewing... I'm updating now so it'll get better, I swear! So far, Sesshomaru has fought a huge demon and killed it, in spite of drawing the Tenseiga by mistake! Hooo... that's gotta suck hard core! Anyway... Here comes chapter 2!
Disclaimer: forgot it in ch 1!!!! Oops... I do not own Sesshy or any of the InuYasha characters...
Wish I did... but Rumiko Takahashi does and she is freakin lucky!
Chapter 2: Piece of Crap!
Before continuing on with his endless journey, Sesshomaru decided to pay a visit to the dear old swordsmith, Totosai.
"TOTOSAI!? Where the hell are you!?" Sesshomaru snarled, the hilt of Tenseiga tightly grasped in his hand. He came storming into the cave where Totosai made his home to find the swordsmith striking at a heated blade.
"Totosai...I have something to settle with you, old man!" Sesshomaru scowled. The old smith only continued to shape his blade, without acknowledging the demon lord's presence at all. This began to irritate Sesshomaru. He walked up behind Totosai and swung the hilt of his healing sword, smacking the smith on top of his head. The smith whirled around in surprise. A large, protruding bump formed on his head and he began to blubber pitifully.
"You should have recognized my attendance, old fool." snapped an annoyed Sesshomaru. He was never one for being ignored.
"Well, you should learn to speak up! You young demons think us elders have perfect hearing!?" Totosai retorted quickly, not taking to heart just who he was talking to. Sesshomaru shot a warning glare at the old man. He wouldn't think twice about cutting the smith down right here and now.
Totosai's tune quickly changed from anger to anxiety, "Oh... well... er... what's this problem you have then?" Sesshomaru was satisfied with this new approach of speaking.
"I've come to return this to you!" Sesshomaru proclaimed, holding out the Tenseiga.
Totosai scratched his head and furrowed his brow, "What's wrong with it?" The smith was baffled as to what Sesshomaru's intentions were.
"This sword is a piece of crap! I have no use for it henceforth!" Sesshomaru admitted blatantly. Totosai's expression became quite anguished at this verbal abuse of the sword he had carefully forged. He was a bit saddened that Sesshomaru's feelings towards the blade hadn't changed.
"So... you don't want this sword anymore... You have no desire to keep it?" Totosai questioned sorrowfully.
"This sword is only a hindrance in my battles. It angers me that such a blade was crafted for me, Sesshomaru, lord of the... " He was cut off.
"Western Lands, yadda yadda... I know about your title! Don't forget that your father was one of my best customers!" Totosai exclaimed, "Your father asked me to forge two swords, the Tetsusaiga and the Tenseiga! His finally wishes were for you to receive the Tenseiga and your brother, the Tetsusaiga! How many times must I explain this?!"
Though Totosai had tried to explain himself, Sesshomaru was persistent in his decision, "My father must have mistaken... Even if this blade was meant for me, I refuse to keep it!" Sesshomaru sheathed the Tenseiga and tossed it to the ground in front of Totosai.
The old smith looked down at the rejected heirloom and concocted a quick and clever plan. He reached for the tin pail of water to his left and placed a powerful spell scroll on it. The water became illuminated, signaling the curse spell was a success. As Sesshomaru was exiting the cave, Totosai hurled the pail into the air. It struck Sesshomaru on the back of his head, nearly causing him to lose his balance. The demon lord was soaked from head to toe, the tin pail resting over his head.
Sesshomaru turned around violently, "What the #?! How dare you #! BAKA!!!! #!!" He screamed, shaking his fist randomly. He pulled the pail off to continue expressing his rage, "How dare you... How dare..." He stopped in mid-sentence. Sesshomaru's eyes widened in disbelief. The reflection in the pail was not that of a demon... but a human! He blinked and shook his head slightly to make sure his eyes weren't deceiving him. The reflection showed a man with long, flowing black hair, deep sapphire eyes and a pale complexion. His facial markings, pointed ears and silvery white hair were no longer there. Blunt finger nails had taken the place of his famous deadly claws and his fangs were also no more. Sesshomaru dropped the pail and stood still for a brief moment. Then, he completely lost it.
"GAAAAAAAHHH!!!!" He screamed frantically, "What the hell did you do to me?!" He demanded, eyes flashing angrily.
Totosai snickered at this reaction, " I merely placed a curse upon you... you aren't a demon anymore!" The old man jeered. Sesshomaru held out his fist in protest.
"I demand that you stop mocking me and transform me back to my former self!" Sesshomaru snarled. Frankly, this was really beginning to piss him off. He glared menacingly at Totosai and yet, the old man's grin became even wider.
" Well... Sesshomaru, I'm afraid I can't change you back... sorry." Totosai proclaimed. Sesshomaru was near the end of his patience with this old fool.
"Listen, old man, change me back, ore I'll be forced to kill you." Sesshomaru threatened, fist in a ball.
" Heh, heh... You couldn't kill me if you tried now! Besides I told you there's nothing I can do... You'll have to do it!" Totosai chuckled.
" How shall I do it?!" Sesshomaru growled.
" You must have a revelation!" Totosai explained plainly. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed with confusion.
" What kind of revelation?" He asked. Totosai's crossed his arms with annoyance.
" That's something you have to figure out yourself!" That's why it's called a revelation!" The old man went on, "Well... good luck!" With these words, Totosai mounted his three-eyed cow and flew off into the distance. Sesshomaru only looked up helplessly.
" Old bastard..." He murmured before heading out to find a way to break the old man's curse.
Man... That was awesome... Are you feeling sorry for Sesshy yet? Well then just wait... you're really gonna feel sorry for him as the story continues! . Oh the humanity! Anyway, see ya in Ch. 3!! Later!
