Chapter 7: Iyoshi's evil plot
Iyoshi's blue light drew out a sapphire sphere that had a lightning bolt twisting and turning inside the center of the sphere. Tenko dropped to the ground, holding her chest in pain, while Iyoshi held the orb and stared at it in fascination.
"What the hell is that!" demanded Inuyasha, still struggling to get free from the grasp of the blue 'handcuffs'.
Iyoshi glared and tossed the small glass ball in the air and caught it again.
"This my friends, is the Storm sphere that I was seeking. I told you that little whelp was hiding it."
She kicked Tenko and Tenko was rolling around on the ground breathing heavily and still clutching her chest.
"Now Tenko, why did you lie to me?" she cooed in a cold, icy way.
"I-I…didn't know it was there………or what it…is!" yelled Tenko, glaring into the light blue eyes of her older sister.
The gang listened carefully as Iyoshi explained.
"For over one thousand years, this orb was a family heirloom. It is said that whoever possesses its power, will unlock their true demonic potential. It will make everything about you stronger, even your weapon. But for some unknown reason, it won't allow me to absorb its energy. Will you be a good little girl and tell me why? Or I'll have to sever that head from your body."
Tenko slashed out her claws and jumped to the chest of Iyoshi.
"Not on your life!"
Flashes of green lights escaped from her claws, knocking the orb out of Iyoshi's hand!
Tenko dived for the orb and held it up to the sky while hearing the curses of her sister.
"Give that back, mutt!"
But it was too late! Flashes of blue lights that came from the small sphere consumed Tenko completely! Cerulean lights flashed through the clearing and the forest as sparkling ribbons of blue enveloped Tenko. Soon the show of lights melted into a neat, neon green as they swirled around Tenko like a tornado. The tornado eventually winded down and right where it dissolved, a long, beautiful silver sword was placed neatly on the ground. It was forged gloriously and shone in the sun, emitting a shining silver light on its blade edge.
Iyoshi dove for the sword, but as soon as she touched the handle, and electric shock forced her to let go.
"What is the meaning of this!" she demanded. Her anger and distraction finally caused Inuyasha and Kagome to be set free. As Kagome fell to the ground, Inuyasha caught her.
"You okay, Kagome?"
"Fine." she replied.
Inuyasha glanced over at Iyoshi and Tenko and put Kagome down.
"Hold on a sec, Kagome."
"Alright."
Inuyasha walked over to Tenko and picked the sword up without it shocking him. He handed it to Tenko.
"Hold it."
Tenko obeyed, grasping the handle and swinging it with ease, without an electric shock.
Iyoshi stood up, dumbstruck.
"That's impossible! H-How can a low class hanyou like her be able to wield the sword! I won't have it!"
Iyoshi ran over to Tenko and lashed out her claws.
"Die!"
Tenko dodged her attack and got behind her easily, holding up the sword.
"It's over, Iyoshi!"
She swung the sword with all her might, but to her surprise, only Iyoshi's coat was slashed in half.
Tenko sniffed around the area and looked up, to see that Iyoshi had fled without her silk jacket on her cloud.
"I'LL GET THAT SWORD ONE OF THESE DAYS, HALF-BREED!" she yelled from above. Eventually, she could not be seen beyond the gray clouds that evaporated into normal white ones.
Tenko sheathed her new sword and tied it to her back.
"Coward…"
"You did it again, kid! I'm impressed."
"Thanks."
"Does it have a name?" asked Inuyasha pointing to her sword. Tenko shrugged and took the sword off her back and read what it said on the sheath in blood red calligraphy.
"Jetsisho" (jet-s-eye-sho) they read in unison.
"Cool name!" she exclaimed tying her sword back.
And so Tenko was traveling with the gang for the next three years and they still haven't recovered all of the shards of the jewel or killed Naraku. But little did the now seven-year-old Tenko know that this was just a PART of her adventure…
PS- THIS STORY IS NOT OVER!
