Disclaimer: The names for the swords were not something that I thought up myself they were from Flame of Recca which is a really cool manga
Chapter 8
"So you're going to call her Kirara huh?" Miroku said as Sango was picking up Kirara.
"I just said that didn't I." Sango answered. She started to walk away.
"Okay well that was a lot of time wasted." Kikyo exclaimed. "Let's get going before we waste anymore time." The rest of the group nodded and then continued walking.
"Kikyo sure is a bitch isn't she." Kouga whispered to Ayame. Ayame giggled but quickly stopped when Kikyo glared at her. Not knowing what that glare meant Kouga continued. "It's not like we wasted that much time, we haven't even taking a break for how long." Ayame tried to give Kouga a warning gesture but he didn't get it. He kept saying rude comments about Kikyo until she couldn't stand it anymore. She turned around and went straight towards Kouga. Unfortunately Kouga didn't notice. She was almost close enough to slap him when Sesshoumaru stepped in.
"Kouga if you don't shut up about Kikyo I will have no choice but to cut off your tail and then eventually your head." Kouga immediately stopped talking and Ayame started to giggle all over again. Kikyo stared at Sesshoumaru. Did he really just stand up for her?
"Hey Sesshoumaru." Kikyo said as he started to go back to his original position. "Thank you for standing up for me that was really sweet of you." Sesshoumaru cringed at the word sweet and stared at Kikyo.
"Listen I didn't stand up for you got that." He said in a harsh voice. "I was starting to get really tired of Kouga's voice so I did what no one else would do and that was to shut him up." He then swiftly turned away and continued walking.
"I don't believe you Sesshoumaru." Kikyo answered and then she went back to her spot at the front. Sesshoumaru looked at her one last time, smiled and then kept going.
"What are these trespassers doing in our forest?" A low and deep voice asked his comrade as they watched the group continue walking through the forest.
"I don't know and I don't care I want them out of here right now." The comrade answered.
"But Jacque how about we keep the girls?" The deep voice asked. "They're quite beautiful and they might be a help around our fortress." Jacque looked at him and then thought for awhile.
"I think you are right Claude lets keep the girls and kill the men." Claude nodded and then they both went off to get a few more warriors.
"Okay that's it I'm stopping here to take a rest and none of you are going to tell me otherwise." Kagome exclaimed as she sat down on the grass. They all stopped and looked at Kagome. Kikyo was about to voice her opinion but Inu Yasha beat her to it.
"Listen Kagome we don't have time for a break okay." He said to her. "We still need to keep going until we get to the Jewel so get off your fat ass and keep moving!"
"No I won't!" Kagome yelled back. "I'm sick and tired of walking through these stupid woods and I'm the warrior of the element earth so I am not getting up until I am good and rested got that." Inu Yasha peered at Kagome. Not a lot of girls would yell at him like that. He was about to reply when Kagome continued, "And besides it's not like Maeko has a compass that will lead him to the Jewel so we have lot's of time to rest." Kikyo was about to join in the conversation when someone swooped down and grabbed Kagome.
"What the…" Inu Yasha began to say when more screams came from behind them. All the guys looked in the direction of the remaining girls just in time to see them as well getting swept away. The guys who took them stopped on top of a tree and set the girls down.
"Who the hell do you think you are!?" Sango screamed at the guy who grabbed her. But instead of saying anything the guy pulled out a knife and put it up to Sango's throat. In fact, all the other guys did it too.
"Let them go you bastards!" Miroku yelled up at them. They turned away for long enough for the girls to kick them and then jumped out of the tree.
"Okay, I would like an explanation to what is going on and who they are." Kagome said while pointing at the guys who were still in the tree.
"You and me both." Inu Yasha answered. And before any of them could say anymore someone interrupted.
"Listen give us back the women and will let you four boys go safely." Jacque said as he came out of the shadows.
"I'm not going anywhere with someone as disgusting as you." Ayame said as she scrunched up her nose on account of the smell.
"Well aren't you a pretty thing." Jacque said as he came closer to Ayame. Ayame was about to introduce the guy to her fireballs when Kouga stepped in front of her.
"You touch one hair on her head and I'll kill you before you can even ask for forgiveness." Kouga threatened. Sesshoumaru, Inu Yasha, and Miroku looked at Kouga. Was he becoming soft towards the insignificant bitch that he was going to have to kill anyway?
"Thanks Kouga but it's okay, I can handle him." Ayame said as she grinned evilly at Jacque. Kouga was about to protest when he realized what she was going to do. So he moved out of the way and allowed Ayame to go over to the guy.
"Now you three get over here. Now!" He ordered. The girls caught on to Ayame's plan and went over as well to the other guys who were waiting for them. When they reached them the guys quickly went to trying to grab them again but this time they were ready. When each of the guys were just about to grab them they attacked, Kagome got the roots of the earth to tie up the guy who was about to grab her. Ayame shot fireballs at her guy while Sango blew him away with her cool personality (Yeah I know that was corny) and Kikyo knocked her guy over with her water powers.
Unfortunately once the first four guys were taking care of more warriors came out of the cover of the trees and started to attack. The guys jumped in and the battle began. Kikyo and Sesshoumaru fought off at least half a dozen of the guys. Kikyo pulled out her swords and was shooting blade after blade of water at them; she was so busy concentrating on the guys in front of her that she didn't notice the guy coming right from behind her. But before the guy could do any damage Sesshoumaru used his poison claws to kill the offending opponent. Kikyo felt the power and looked behind her in time to see Sesshoumaru killing the guy.
"Hey, why don't you watch what you're doing?" Sesshoumaru asked. Kikyo didn't understand why he said that until she heard someone coming from behind her. She turned around and killed him; she turned back to Sesshoumaru and smirked. He smirked back and then they both went off to help the others.
Kagome was shooting arrows while Inu Yasha was using his Iron Reaver Soul Stealer when the sky got dark and the clouds turned a deep shade of black. Kagome stopped shooting her arrows to look at the sky so Claude who had been hiding all this time just waiting for the right moment came out of hiding and was getting ready to strike. Inu Yasha turned around to see how Kagome was doing and saw the Claude going at her.
"You idiot, keep your eyes on what you are doing not the sky!" Inu Yasha yelled at her. Kagome looked in front of her in time to see her attacker but not enough time to stop him. She got ready for his blow when she heard thunder and opened her eyes to see Toutousai in front of her sitting on a huge bull with three eyes. She looked around for Claude and noticed that the bull landed right on him. She then looked back at Toutousai.
"Master Toutousai? What are you doing here?" She asked. Toutousai looked at Kagome.
"Ah Kagome I'm here to…" He stopped speaking and appeared to be in deep thought. Kagome waited for his answer. "Actually I'm not sure why I'm here." Kagome sweatdropped while Inu Yasha came over to them.
"Hey Kagome, who's the old man?" He asked.
"This is Master Toutousai." She answered. Inu Yasha stared at the guy with disbelief.
"You're kidding right?" He exclaimed. "This cannot be the great Toutousai that I have heard so much about."
"I know what you mean, when I first met him I thought that their must have been some mistake but this really is him." She answered. Toutousai (who had been quiet all this time) finally spoke.
"Now I remember." He yelled which made Kagome and Inu Yasha jump. "I came here to give you four the swords I made."
"And where are these swords?" Kagome asked.
"They're right here." He said while pointing at nothing.
"There's nothing there." Kagome said. Toutousai looked down.
"You're right." He answered. "Where did I put the darn things?" He asked himself.
"Master Toutousai, I've got the swords." He turned around and there was Shiori holding all four swords.
"Good job Shiori." He looked at Kagome and Inu Yasha. "These swords are going to be a big help in your journey so use them well." He grabbed Kagome's sword and handed it to her. It was a long shiny blade with a brown handle and had green emeralds all along the sides.
"It's beautiful." Kagome whispered. "Thank you so much."
"You're welcome Kagome." He replied. "Now your sword is called Raijin it controls thunder and the earth just like your element. Now where are the others I need to give them their swords as well." Kagome and Inu Yasha had completely forgotten about the others and the warriors they had been fighting.
"Will be right back Master Toutousai." Kagome said and then they quickly ran off to find them.
"Where did Kagome and Inu Yasha disappear to?" Ayame asked. She, Kouga and the rest of the gang (not including Inu Yasha and Kagome) were all still fighting the enemy.
"Don't worry Ayame. You know Kagome she'll be here any second saving our asses." Sango answered.
"Oh please, Kagome couldn't even save a mouse from a cat let alone us." Kikyo exclaimed.
"Thanks Kikyo, now I know you how much you care for me." Kikyo turned around and saw Kagome and Inu Yasha coming towards them.
"God you dames talk too much." Jacque said as the two of them got closer. "It's a good thing we didn't bring you back to the fortress or else we would never get any peace." Kagome glared at him, and before he could say anymore Kagome used Raijin to cut him two. Then she turned to all the others and in one swift movement they all got electrocuted.
"Hey Kagome where did you get the awesome sword?" Kouga asked.
"Master Toutousai gave it to me." She answered. "He has your swords too, come on I'll show ya." Kagome lead them all back to where Master Toutousai was.
"Hello again Toutousai." Ayame said cheerfully. "Do you have our swords too?"
"Of course I do, what do you think I would forget them?" The girls sweatdropped while Shiori gave the girls their swords.
"Sango, your sword is called Fujin and it obviously controls the wind as well. Kikyo yours is called Ensui and if you pour some water on it, it will become very powerful and strengthen your water powers. And Ayame yours is called Recca it helps to control your anger and fire." Shiori explained to each of them. Ayame's sword was also a long blade but it had a scarlet handle and it had rubies all along the sides. Sango had a thinner blade and her handle was made of mother of pearl and had opals along the sides. And Kikyo and a thin blade too and her handle was a navy blue colour and it had sapphires around it. Shiori was about to go back to Master Toutousai when she noticed the boys for the first time. "Who are they?"
"Oh these guys saved us after we left your home the first time we met you and there going to help us on our mission." Kagome said. Shiori nodded and looked back at the boys, particularly at Inu Yasha and Sesshoumaru. Could those two handle the two swords that Master Toutousai has been working on? She thought. I'll have to ask him when we leave.
"I guess I better go now, it was nice seeing you four again." Shiori said sweetly and then went back to Toutousai. As soon as the others left Shiori asked him. "Master, you know those two swords you've been working on the Tetsusaiga and Tensaiga."
"Yes Shiori, what about them?"
"Well I think those two boys with the silver hair might be able to handle the power of the swords." She replied. "Do you think we can give them to them?"
"When they are finished I will take the swords to them and see." He said. "I just hope you are right about them being able to use the swords Shiori because I'm afraid if the can't control them then they will be destroyed." Shiori nodded to say she understood and then they rode off on the bull.
