Mission Two: Mission of Honour

Kirara

I had just started riding away with everyone on my back, when Sango and Kagome seemed to notice someone. Sango gasped.

"HIM!" she yelled.

Instinctively I stopped in front of the being and growled. It was Sesshomaru! InuYasha's elder brother! Of course, the two hated each other to the core, but Sesshomaru was not responsible for InuYasha's death.

"Even with Tetsiega you won't stop Yurkotsu," he said in that damningly smooth, cold voice.

"Oh, yeah?' snapped Shippo. "Since when do you care?"

Sesshomaru smirked. "I don't,"

Miroku reached for his Wind Tunnel hand.

"But if you are on a quest to kill someone who killed one of my family, it is against my honour to stop you, or harm you in anyway. In fact I have to help you, monk." He added.

"We don't need your help," snapped Kagome. "Come on, let's go everyone"

"Believe me, the idea was not mine," Sesshomaru snapped back. "Here, take this, priestess," He placed a long package on the ground. "If you don't want to use it, take it with you at least. You can shove it into that annoying sword-maker for all I care."

And with that delightful ending comment, he left.

"What a jerk," Sango commented. I growled in agreement.

"Well, let's take a look at what's in here," said Miroku, as he picked up the package and opened it.

I was the first to recognize it. The Tensiega! The Sword of Healing! Did that mean, could it possibly mean…?

As if reading my mind, Sango shook her head.

"No, Kirara," she said gently. "InuYasha is long dead. The only reason Sesshomaru could revive Rin was because she had only died a little while before. InuYasha has been dead for a long time."

I purred sadly.

"But if we can't revive InuYasha, why did he give it to us?" asked Kagome. "I think it's pretty useless and… WHOA! Look!" she yelled.

The Tetsiega and Tensiega were both standing up. At least it looked that way. They were both…beating? Well, they were vibrating. They looked like two bothers, long reunited. Both suddenly gave off a blinding flash of light. When I could see again, I noticed that both swords now had an odd shiny golden colour. Also, the Tensiega was no longer thin. Apparently, like the Tetsiega, it also had a broad-sword version.

"Maybe this wasn't such a useless gift after all," said Sango slowly.
