Chapter 7

I can't say that that last comment didn't hurt, but what hurt worse what the fight. I walked into the shadows. I walked towards the smell of Rin and Jaken. I reached them in a few hours. But Sesshoumaru was with them.

'You're back; Rin told me you went for a walk'

'Yes'

'I have a gift for you'

He held up his arm and he held a suit a lot like his. I took it and looked at it.

'Wow'

It was made of a soft white material and it had a furry tail thing on the left shoulder and an armor plate bar across the chest and hanging across my right arm. I walked a little ways into the trees and changed into it. I walked back towards them and came across the group again.

'Hmm, you like good'

'Ya, great new look Lord Ethan'

Rin smiled happily. I smiled happily. I looked exactly like Sesshoumaru, except that my fur tail was on the other side, and the armor was on my right shoulder.

'Wow, is that why you left?'

'Yes, I went to go and get a suit for you'

'How come you have two swords?'

'This one' He held the handle of the sword that had the sheath 'is totally useless, it doesn't cut, but heals'

'Wow that would be useful in these warring states'

'Someone like me would have no use for a sword like this'

'Interesting'

I said quietly. Something willed me to reach for the sword handle. As my hand got closer the sword started to shake. Sesshoumaru looked at it as it trembled violently. It slid forward slightly, showing some of the blade. My hand almost touched it and the blade pulsed. My hand grasped the handle and I pulsed with the sword. I pulled it out of the sheath and held it. I spun around and slashed downwards. A blue light trail shot towards Sesshoumaru. It hit him across the chest and the light trail surged over his armor. The light faded and I stared at him.

'Sorry'

'Don't worry about it'

'You can have your sword back'

I held out the sword for him to take it. But he didn't. Suddenly you could hear a cracking. It sounded like bones. I looked at Sesshoumaru's left sleeve. Slowly a white bone was twisting downwards. It spread into fingers and then it stopped. Then the flesh appeared in a red line that moved down the bone. It stopped at his finger nails. His finger nails grew and sharpened in one second. He looked at his arm and held it up.

'This is my arm; you revived it using the Tensaiga'

He thought for a second.

'I'll be back in a few days'

He turned around and walked back into the forest.

'You can't leave us here again'

He didn't answer, he just kept on walking. I waited with Jaken, Rin and (What is the dragon called? with the two heads) we waited a few days.

Sesshoumaru walked up to the mountains. He started the climb up the Totosai. He reached Totosais's house and said.

'Totosai'

He looked over and shouted in fright.

'I told you Sesshoumaru, I'm not making you a sword'

'You fool, this time it isn't for me, make me a sword, do it in three days and your life will be spared'

Sesshoumaru reached up into his mouth and pulled out the left fang. He threw it onto Totosais's block. He turned around and started to walk back out of the cave. He waited a few days before going back to Totosai.

'Totosai'

He stood at the mouth of the demon skeleton.

'Alright Sesshoumaru, I have your sword'

Sesshoumaru picked it up and swung it around.

'It's a good sword, now I have work to do'

'Making another sword?'

'Maybe'

'Who is it for?'

'My costumers are none of your concern'

Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes and placed the sword on his right hip, in his sash. He walked back out of the cave and then into the forest. He was walking kind of slowly, thinking that I could protect Rin on my own. He kept walking through the trees when he came across Robin.

'What have you done with Ethan?'

'Nothing, he's fine'

'You ate him, didn't you?'

'I told you he's fine'

'I'm not buying that, come on'

He leapt at Sesshoumaru and slashed downwards with his claws. Sesshoumarudodged the attack and then said.

'I don't want to waist my time, but if you get in my way I'll be forced to kill you'

'Oh no you don't, I'll avenge my friend, I'm not going to become Kibble's-N-Bits'

He started running at Sesshoumaru and he just leapt out of the way again.

'Afraid to fight me? Or are you to full from Spicy Ethan'

Sesshoumaru landed on the ground and started walking past Robin, who was panting. While he passed Robin he just tapped Robin on the square of his back. He walked back into the shadows of the trees and started following our scent. Rin was walking a little ways away, picking flowers. I kept an eye on her, but I let her walk freely. She picked up a red wild flower and looked up. A large monkey demon was running towards her, fangs bared. I spun around and sent my whip flying through the air. It hit the monkey is the side of the neck and it flew off course and missed Rin by a few inches. The ape hit a tree and slowly got up again. I lowered my hand and I said.

'Rin, leave your flowers, you get them when I'm done, go hide'

'Right, Lord Ethan'

She left her pile of different colored flowers on the grass and then ran into the trees. The ape jumped at me. I leapt into the air and rammed my hand on its chest. My whole hand shone with a sickly green light. My hand shot towards the ground the venom gas shot out of my hand then the baboon was gone. I stood up and I saw a rustle in the bushes.

'It's alright Rin, you can get your flowers now'

She crawled out of the bush and scooped up her flowers and held them out for me.

'Thank you'

I took them and then took her hand and lead her back to Aun Oon. Soon the bushes rustled and a shadow came out of the bushes.

'Lord Ethan'

I looked over, it was a white baboon.

'Can I help you?'

I said coolly.

'I have something for you'

He held out a sword.

'Take this sword; it shall prove your worth to destroy Inuyasha'

'Destroy him?'

'Yes, if you destroy him, I'll give you all the shard of the Shikon Jewel that I possess'

Rin looked at me.

'No, I won't destroy Inuyasha'

Just then Jaken came out from the trees. He growled and said.

'Naraku, what do you want'

'Naraku?'

I remembered that Kagome had told me about a Naraku when everyone was sleeping one evening in Kaeda's hut. I held up my hand and I slashed off Naraku's head. A large flash of light flew up from his shoulder and then the white baboon fur fell to the ground, and lay motionless.

'Damn it, he's gone'

I left the fur on the ground and then walked back to Rin.

'Lord Sesshoumaru should be coming back soon'

Just then another rustle in the bushes caught my gaze. Lord Sesshoumaru walked back into the clearing.

'Lord Sesshoumaru, you're back'

Jaken squealed happily, and annoyingly.

'Lord Sesshoumaru, I hope your trip was successful'

Rin said.

'Lord Sesshoumaru-' I started 'It would be wise to leave, for I just had an encounter with the demon, Naraku, Jaken says you know him?'

'Let's just say we've crossed paths'

I nodded.

'We'll leave in just a minute, all those who want to live climb on Aun Oon'

We all sat on the Dragons and he soared into the air. Sesshoumaru pulled out the sword and said.

'Ethan, here is a sword I had made, if you can pull it out, then it is yours, if not, you are not worthy enough to be my apprentice'

He threw the sword at the ground. He took of one of the Dragons steel mussels and then it shot a lightning bolt at the handle. It hit the hilt and then a huge circle of grass was blown away.

'Now, pull out this sword and you may keep it, but fail to pull it out, and you will die'

I soared off the demon's back and landed just on the rim of dirt, the blast had blown a crater in the ground. I looked at the magnificent demon blade that was in the ground. Lightning surged around the bottom every minute or so. I walked down to it. I slowly reached out my hand to grab it. As soon as my hand touched the handle lightning spread around my hand and started to electrocute me. I pulled as hard as I could, but the sword wouldn't budge. I pulled harder and the sword moved, just an inch. I pulled on last time and the sword flew out of the ground. It shone and electricity surged around it. I lowered it, it was incredibly light. The light slowly faded into the blade and I tucked it into my sash.
