Chapter 2: Family and Truth Revealed
"What the?" cried Hato, as she saw not only Shippo's blade, Rin's katana, InuYasha's fang, and Kimiko's blade boomerang, but also Tokijin, a monk's staff, and a boomerang. Sesshoumaru, Miroku, and Sango had returned to the group after so long…
"Mother… Father!" cried Kimiko as she looked over at her father and mother at how they were defending against the blade.
"Hold on Kimiko…" said Miroku through grinding teeth.
"Is the curse devouring you monk?" asked a mocking Hato.
"In your dreams, you witch," cried Miroku as he was pushed back. Sango was grabbed behind from a chain that looped around her body. As she landed and turned to see who had pulled her back she screamed…
"Ko… Kohaku?" asked Sango looking up at her brother. Though his appearance had change a lot since they had last seen one another she could tell her brother was gone forever. His eyes were blank with a stare of pure bliss, and nothing more. His muscles were bulged like that of a real man, but one of his arms was gone. She could tell because half of his right arm was human, but from his elbow to his hand was a black arm… a black dragon's claw.
"What happened Kohaku?" cried Sango running over to her brother now. Miroku, and Kimiko ran towards Sango as well, but before they could reach her she collapsed to the ground. Across her chest was a deep gash from the claw. Miroku opened up his wind tunnel, but Kohaku threw an orange ball with black stripes at Miroku. The balls glowed briefly as Saimyosho were released once more from the nest.
"Father, close your wind tunnel, we must get mother to safety," cried Kimko as tears flowed down her cheeks. Her father tried to close the tunnel, but due to it's new power, he could barely even open it in the first place. To distract the new hell wasps, Kimiko took her chances and opened her own wind tunnel.
"WIND TUNNEL!" She cried. Saimyosho were immediately drawn to her wind tunnel, but as the Saimyosho were about to enter her tunnel and poison her, a figure flew past her hand and clawed at the oncoming insects… it wasn't InuYasha or Sesshoumaru… but Inutaisho! Inutaisho stood in front of Kimiko in his human form. The wasps plunged through the young human as they collided.
"NO!" cried InuYasha as he saw his son fall. As if time had slowed, Inutaisho's body slowed… blood pouring from the holes in the boy's chest. Finally, the body hit the ground, but the first person to reach the body, was not InuYasha, but Kimiko…
"Why did you save me?" whispered Kimiko cradling Inutaisho's head in her lap.
"Because… I…." said Inutaisho, but he coughed up blood.
"Spit it out," cried Kimko… At that moment Shippo appeared by their side.
"Don't worry, I have just the blade that will help," said Shippo drawing his third blade on his back. As the blade was unsheathed it looked as if the metal never cooled off. It radiated red with fire, yet also something unmistakably familier.
"Hurry," cried Kimiko, as Shippo swung the blade. As if invisible hands were sewing up the skin, and patching up the body. Finally, the sewing stopped and there lay Inutaisho resting.
"Could you also help my mother?" asked Kimiko as she went over to Sango's limp body. Shippo nodded as he went over and touched Sango's hand checking for a pulse.
"It's faint, but there," said Shippo swinging his blade one more time, "that should help for now." Shippo than took Sango's resting body and put it next to Inutaisho's.
"You stay here, and guard them; I have business to attend to," said Shippo running back into the fight.
----------------------------------------
"Heh, you pitiful monk," cried Hato as she swung her blade, which threw energies of fire at Miroku, who still had his Wind Tunnel open.
"Better than a witch like you, Hato," cried Miroku as he finally succeeded in placing the prayer beads around his hand and sealing off the tunnel.
"Heh, you will die of the curse soon monk… do not forget," cried Hato, as her demons surrounded her. At this point, InuYasha launched his Wind Scar at the hoard of demons, but as the smoke cleared from the damage, Hato had already gone.
"I see you become a half-breed again, my brother," said Sesshoumaru sheathing his Tokijin.
"And what about it?" replied InuYasha. Sesshoumaru merely snickered at how his brother's attitude changes as his body changes during the new moon.
"Don't worry, my left arm becomes a mere half-breed's arm thanks to your blood," snorted Sesshoumaru showing InuYasha his left arm. The maroon demon markings around the wrist were gone, and his nails were merely half of what they usually were.
"And you yell at me about me about being a half breed," snorted InuYasha, "look at yourself, you half-breed arm demon."
"Oh, but my transformation only lasts about an hour, I think I can handle it," said Sesshoumaru eyeing his brother's dogs ears, and the untransformed Tetsusaiga. As if on cue, Shippo ran in.
"Where is Hato?" asked Shippo looking all directions.
"She's gone…" replied InuYasha looking down knowing his son was… dead.
"I will avenge Sango," cried Miroku holding his head in his hands.
"Stop blubbering will you?" said Shippo looking at the two men who had lost something they cherished, "they are ok, I healed them."
"And with what runt?" asked InuYasha.
"With my blade… idiot," said Shippo showing them his healing blade.
"I call this blade, Honor, for until I accomplish my task in slaying Naraku's daughter, Hato, I will never die in peace," said Shippo raising his sword above his head. At his words the sword glowed deeper than before and transformed, revealing the true blade's identity... Sou'unga, the sword of world conquest had returned…

Well? What did you think of this one? I need some reviews, please or else this story will be postponed for the year. I know I am kind of threatening to cut this story out for a year, but only because I need some reviews for some happiness that my story is good, or bad. If you thought this chapter was kind of awkward or the first one was tell me. I know I am kind of slacking off, but if I stop writing that means school has started, and I can't write anymore until a break, or weekends. Thanks again for reading you wonderful fans.
