Chapter 8 The Ketsaiga

"Where we going?"

"Toutosai."

"Oh…why did father have creepy big bug eyed friends?"

"Answer that and you're a genus."

"Cool!"

After leaving Sango and Miroku, InuYasha decided that they should get their swords sharpened. So far they've been traveling for half a day.

"Are you sure you know where this place is?"

"We're almost there. Ok?"

"If you say so. Hey! Look!" Kori stopped and pointed at a female wolf sitting on a boulder, looking at her reflection.

"Who's that?" asked Kori.

"Looks like Ayame." They watched her get up and speed away.

"Do you think she knows?"

"From the look on her face, I think she dose. Come on, lets keep going." InuYasha started moving.

"She's pretty." Kori said when he caught up.

"She wants a full demon."

"I just said she's pretty. Not that I want her as a mate."

"I was just saying."

"Feh."

"Feh." They looked and each other then laughed.

By the time they reached Toutosai's cave it was morning.

"Hey old man! Ya here?" called InuYasha.

"Eh? InuYasha, is that you making all that noise?" asked Toutosai as he walked out of the cave. He looked past InuYasha and at Kori and squinted. "Since when did you have blue hair?"

InuYasha bonked him, "that's Kori, ya moron."

"Kori, humm… Kori… sounds familiar. Kori…. did I make you a sword before?"

"You foraged my fathers fang into one."

"I did?"

"What do you know about this sword?" Kori took out his sword and transformed it. And showed him. Toutosai's eyes bulged farther out of his skull.

"Ah! This is the twin sword of Tetsusaiga, and the sister sword of Tenseiga. It can take your opponents attacks and use the power to intensify its own. But unlike Tetsusaiga, this can only kill fifty demons. But it can also bring back fifty demons. The Ketsaiga. It turns blue correct?"

Kori looked at it… it was blue now. "Ya."

"Purple when it has full power?"

"I guess?"

Toutosai looked at the sword for a moment longer, than looked back at Kori, "Who are you? Why do you look like InuYasha?"

"I'm Kori…"

"Kori… do I know you?

Kori looked at InuYasha, "what's wrong with him?"

InuYasha smacked Toutosai, "Kori is my twin brother, you dolt!"

"Oh…you're twins! Now it makes sense! Well what can I do for you?"

"How do I use Ketsaiga? I know how to absorbed attacks, but how do I use it?"

"Aim it back. Geesh! Its just like any other sword… now let me sharpen them. Come back tonight." He took the swords and placed them behind him.

"Don't forget old man." Snarled InuYasha.

"Forget what?"

"Our swords."

"Oh… am I making you swords."

"You're sharpening them! Never mind! We'll be back tonight." He took Kori by the arm and left.

"Why did InuYasha have blue hair?"

--

"Lets find something to eat." Said Kori.

"I'll get some fish, you make a fire."

"Oh ya, you get the fun job."

Soon InuYasha caught four fish and Kori had a fire going.

"What was it like up north?" asked InuYasha as he ate his fish.

"I don't know. It was ok. I got board of it when I was five."

"What did you do?"

"Learned how to fight. Well I was used to train humans so they could learn how to fight demons. And sometimes I was used for demons. I learnt how to fight them all with my claws. But when I got the sword, I broke free and ran away. I know how to tell what kind of weapon someone is caring by the was they move. How about you?"

"Pretty much the same. I learnt how to defend myself with my claws. How to survive without food for weeks. To defend myself when I'm badly hurt. I've wanted to become full demon for the longest time…"

"Really?"

"Haven't you?"

"I guess I always have. But once when I transformed- have you ever?"

"Ya, a few times."

"Same- I remember one time, I almost killed this girl that was helping me. After that, the want has weakened."

"Same here. But I did kill. I killed innocent people and I almost killed Kagome."

"Ouch."

"Ya. I got sat for that too." He laughed half heartedly, "lets go get our swords." InuYasha got up and helped put out the fire.

"Think he remembered?"

"He hasn't let me down… in awhile…"

"Well… that's good to know… I think?"

By sunset they made it to Toutosai's, got their swords and they returned to Kaede's. But when they got there, they had a visitor.

"Hello InuYasha."

"Hi Kagome." said Kori and he went and sat against the wall. (AN: AH! how'd she get back! She's like a dasiy. pops outta no where)

"Kori." She smiled at him and looked back at InuYasha.

"What are you doing here?" InuYasha saw the mark that Kouga had given her, to ell all other demons that she was his. She was wearing different cloths. Cloths of the wolf demons.

"I went to my time and told mom what I decided to do. She was surprised that I wasn't with you."

He nodded.

"Also to stop by and say hi."

"And goodbye." Added Kori.

"Ya… are you still looking for the shards?"

"That's a stupid question kagome. You know we can't sense them."

"What about Kikyo?"

"What is it with you and brining up the past?"

"Well I… never mind."

"She can burn in hell- without me- for all I care."

"Oh, I see… I'm sorry InuYasha."

"Why?"

"That it ended this way."

"Don't be."

"Oh, ok. Well I better be getting back to Kouga."

InuYasha nodded.

"See ya."

"Goodbye."

Kagome walked out and left, meeting Kouga at the gates.

"Lets go." He picked her up and speed away. Unknowing to him that Kagome was crying inside.

--

Everyone just sat there, and then Shippo ran in.

"Where's Kagome? I smelt her scent and I came running."

"She left." Said Kori.

"You let her go!" Shippo yelled hitting InuYasha.

He bared his fangs and his eyes flashed red, "If you want Kagome, then go live with her and Kouga." His voice was deeper. Shippo continued hitting InuYasha, until InuYasha grabbed him by the tail, went out side and threw him. "She went that way!" he growled.

Sango and Miroku ran out.

"InuYasha! Shippo's just a kid!"

"No he isn't. He's not a kid. He just thinks he is because Kagome was always babied him." He walked the opposite direction that he threw Shippo.

"Hey! Were ya going?" called Kori.

"To see an old friend. Stay here. I won't be long." He took off.

"He's devastated." Said Sango.

"No… just pissed." Said Kori. I would be too, stupid runt.

"Where are you off to?" asked Miroku as he watched Sango climb onto Kirara.

"To take Kirara on a run."

"I'll do that Sango! You shouldn't be doing that in your condition." Said Kori helping Sango off.

"My, condition?" she asked.

"Miroku would be pretty upset. Ya know."

"You mean…"

"Yup!"

"How do you know?"

Kori pointed to his nose, "come on Kirara!" and he and the cat took off.

--

When InuYasha was little, he had met this other half dog demon, and they became friends. Hopefully she was still alive. Unlike him, her parents were also hanyous and they took care of him for a short time. When he reached where she used to live, he found that the hut was gone.

"In-InuYasha?" came a voice, "is that you?"

He turned, "Kome?" there stood a half demon with dark purple hair, and she nodded.

"What happened? Where's you hut?"

"They destroyed it. And killed them both."

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. It happened forty years ago."

"I wish I could have helped you."

"I went looking for you."

" I was pinned to a tree."

She laughed, "Who'd you piss off?"

"Me and this girl where tricked and she thought I betrayed her and tried to kill her, it was the same way with me. She wanted to kill me. But instead she pinned me to a tree, thinking that she really did kill me."

"How?"

"She was a miko."

"I heard about that! That was you! Hanging with the wrong crowd again, are we know?"

"Ha, ha. She's dead now."

"Ouch!"

He laughed.

"What are you up too InuYasha?"

"Noting anymore… I found my twin brother."

"That's great! And your half brother?"

"Found him too."

"Not too happy to see you, I take it?"

"Not if you count happy to kill me."

"Ouch!" she laughed.

"Ya."
