I'm rewriting a lot of these chapters today, but only because I'll be gone for camp all week.

Nope, they still aren't mine. But, guess what? They aren't yours either.

Chapter Three- Of a Sword Mission and Wolf Problems

Inuyasha walked around the small town. A few people said hello, other's smiled. Today seemed like a busy day, everyone was going up and down. "Phew." Inuyasha thought, as he got closer to the entrance to the clearing. "It's a good thing I don't have to work today!"

Inuyasha spoke up. "Myouga, we're almost there . . ."

A voice called him. "Where are you going, mutt face?"

Inuyasha halted.

"Great." Inuyasha thought as he turned around. "Just what I needed." He muttered, sulking a bit.

"And where are you going?" a demanding voice said.

"None of your business, you wimpy wolf!"

Kouga snorted. "You were headed for the clearing. I saw you."

"Fine, I was. So what? For your information I was sent by the Great God Tree. So if I could be excused..." Inuyasha began walking again.

Kouga got into his way again. Inuyasha growled. "Whoa, now wait a minute. You mean to tell me that the God Tree sent you there?"

Inuyasha nodded and Kouga started to laugh. He fell to the floor in laughter. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow in sarcasm.

"Man, and I thought I was immature." Inuyasha thought. "What's so funny, wolf?"

He got laughter in response. Inuyasha's eyebrow almost reached his hair.

"Well Myouga, I really hope this isn't your idea of a good time"

Myouga chuckled.

"Even if you were summoned," Kouga said as he stood up from the ground, drying his tears of laughter, "you don't even have a sword. What are you planning to fight with? A stick?"

He laughed at his own joke. Inuyasha growled in annoyance. Myouga's eye was twitching. Probably from Kouga's lack of brains, Inuyasha thought.

"Fine, fine I'll get a sword. Anything else, mangy wolf?"

Kouga closed his eyes for a second. "Now that you mention it, you'll need a shield too. You weren't planning to go to the clearing without a shield, right?"

Inuyasha just turned away and left.

"God! Stupid annoying wolf!" Inuyasha thought, scowling by now.

"Well Lord Inuyasha, shall we look for a sword now?" Myouga asked, a tone of humor in his voice.

"Sure. I can ask the Know-it-All Brothers for its location. We can buy a shield in the shop."

"Marvelous, then. That's a marvelous plan!"

They went to the shop and bought a shield with rupees Inuyasha had collected from various jobs. They then walked to the Know-It-All Brothers house. It was up a small hill. It was Inuyasha's favorite to lie on at night.

"Hello Inuyasha!" Leon said as he dusted a bookshelf. "What brings you around here, my small friend?"

"Hello Leon. I was wondering if you could answer me a question?"

As soon as those words slipped out of Inuyasha's mouth he mentally kicked himself. Hard.

He said the "q" word. Right then, the three brothers started arguing about who was going to answer him.

"Stop!" Inuyasha shouted.

The three brothers stopped fighting. They looked around, obviously ashamed of their behavior.

"We're sorry Inuyasha. Now what was your doubt?"

"Well Leon, I was wondering where I might find a sword."

"That's simple enough Inuyasha. You should go down to the fields. You'll find a hole in the mountain. There's a passageway there. There's tale of a legendary sword there. Folk say you have to be very brave to actually SEE the passageway." He added this as an afterthought.

Inuyasha thanked the brothers and left quickly. He ran to the fields and found out he could see the passageway. It was just the right size for him to crouch through. Once he was on the other side he looked around. There was lots of grass and weeds. He found a treasure chest in an opening in the ground. He opened it and found a sword with a ruby, an emerald, and a sapphire placed on it. He played with it for a while, swinging it, and striking trees. He liked the feel of the sword on his hand. He stored it in his tunic, adjusted his shield, which was placed on his back, and left outside. He reached the clearing and cleared his throat.

"Oh, Kouga!" Inuyasha sang in a teasing tone.

"Well if it isn't dog-breath . . . "

He noticed that Inuyasha had both a sword and shield. He frowned and his disappointment was shown Inuyasha grinned. He won.

"Well I supposed I have to let you pass."

Kouga got out of the way and Inuyasha passed. "Yup, today is a good day. I beat Kouga and I did it; I'm going to see the God Tree!" He jumped in the air in happiness.
