Tetsusaiga, the Legendary Blade
Sesshô-maru eyes the young neko hanyou before him, feeling quite amused by her protectiveness over his boorish little brother. "So you wish to fight do you?" he calmly asks. His fingertips glow as a thin yellow-green whip emerges from them, getting all the normal humans around him to back up even further from the dangerous looking youkai. "Do you have even the faintest clue what I can and will do to you if you do not stand down as I command?"
Saeko watches the whip, a large lump forming in her throat. She nervously answers, "Y-Yeah…I got a clue…but I won't allow you to hurt my Inu-Yasha anymore!" The claws on her hand elongate as she crouches lower to the ground, ready to pounce.
At the thought of a youkai and a hanyou fighting each other, the entire class, plus the teacher, decide to make a hasty treat and stomp all over a tiny green imp with a large wooden staff that was just happening to walk in at that very moment. "Why me?" Jaken moans out loud to nobody in particular, his large bulbous head now covered in bumps and bruises and footprints.
"I have no desire to fight you child and do not worry, I will not kill him. He holds information that I desire to know. Killing my little brother now would be a rather foolish act on my part." The whip disappears and the inu hanyou reaches into his haori, pulling out a small vial of clear liquid. "This is a powerful truth serum I made a dark miko concoct for me. I have only a single question, and I am certain the answer I seek lies within Inu-Yasha." He tosses the vial at Saeko, who quickly catches it. "If it pleases you, give him the potion yourself. I believe a single drop will suffice."
The hanyou girl kneels down next to her boyfriend, who is clutching the acrid smelling hole in his stomach and wincing in pain. "A-Are you okay?" she hesitantly asks, cradling his head in her hands.
Inu-Yasha gingerly sits up, nodding slightly. "Yeah…I'll live." He looks over at his older brother, a cocky grin on his face. "If you wanted to know where our old man's grave was so badly, you coulda just asked me nicely."
Sesshô-maru's eyes narrow in growing frustration. "So you do know where it is located?"
"Not a clue, but to prove my point and maybe get you to leave me the hell alone…" he pauses as he takes the truth serum from Saeko. "Just one drop right? Well to really get you to believe me, I'll take two." He sticks out his tongue and places two drops of the liquid on it, not seeing the slight smirk on his older brother's face. As soon as the serum hits his tongue, an intense feeling of serenity and drowsiness overcomes the inu boy. "W-Wass happin to mee?" He slurs, slowly teetering in place.
"I had only hoped to get the truth from you," the regal inu youkai calmly begins, "but I believe now I will get that and more." He takes a single finger and places it under Inu-Yasha's chin, moving it up so he can look into his half-brother's heavily glazed eyes. "Though it lasts for a very short time, the serum you just took is quite effective. One drop and you will answer almost every question asked truthfully. Two drops," he pauses as his eyes flash dangerously, "two drops and you will bear your entire soul to me without reservation. Nothing shall remain hidden." He removes his finger and takes a step back. "Now tell me little brother, where is the location of our dear father's grave."
Inu-Yasha closes his eyes, letting out a soft groan. After a moment, he answers, "I don't…know…" His head suddenly snaps to the side, as if something has caught his attention.
"Come now," Sesshô-maru urges, "you can do better than that. Search deep within your soul Inu-Yasha…where is it?"
In his mind, the inu hanyou is completely surrounded by darkness. Far ahead, a small light appears with something in the center of it. He strains to get closer, his body feeling like it is hundreds of times heavier than normal. Using every ounce of strength inside of him, Inu-Yasha pulls himself ahead, the light getting closer and more brilliant. Suddenly the darkness vanishes and the light surrounds him, the small object right within grasp. As he clasps it within his hands, he whispers out, "The right…black pearl."
Jaken gets to his feet and unsteadily walks into the classroom, footprints covering his entire body. "The right black pearl?" he snorts out. "What foolishness is this?" He raises his staff up high and bonks Inu-Yasha hard on top of the head. "You're playing games with us aren't you, you filthy little half-breed?" He is about to hit the hanyou boy over the head again when Saeko intervenes, stomping on the little imp's head several times. Jaken drops his staff and clutches his now extra lumpy head in pain.
Inu-Yasha shakes his head several times, the knock to his head helping to clear out the serum. His girlfriend places a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, what just happened?"
"I…I'm not really sure." He turns his head to the side and spits onto the floor. "Ugh, that stuff's got a nasty aftertas…URK!" he doesn't get a chance to finish as Sesshô-maru's hand clasps around his throat and easily lifts the young hanyou up off the floor. His enchanted baseball cap falls off of his head, causing his long silver hair to flow down its full length.
A slight smirk plays itself across the full-blooded youkai's face. "Never would I imagine father hiding it in such an odd place. He truly despised the thought of his grave being desecrated now did he? The magic's used to conceal it were undoubtedly powerful, I wonder who he consorted with to assist him in his task." Saeko is about to pounce on him to help free Inu-Yasha, but a fierce look from the lord of the western lands causes her to back off nervously with Myôga standing on her shoulder for a better view.
"W-What the hell are you babblin' about?" the hanyou boy spits out.
"So," Sesshô-maru begins, "you had no knowledge of the secrets entrusted to you? No…of course you did not. Now it all fits together. Let me relieve you of your unknown duties dear little brother." He lifts his other hand and shoves two fingers deep into Inu-Yasha's right eye.
The hanyou boy only lets out a grunt of pain while his girlfriend gasps in horror. Myôga hops up and down frantically on her shoulder, waving his arms and shouting, "Lord Inu-Yasha!"
The inu youkai pulls his fingers out, a small black pearl in between his fingers. "Finally, after all my years of scouring through this land, I have finally found it." He turns towards his brother, a strange glint in his eyes. "A place one can see, yet cannot be seen…A place its own guardian can never look upon. The clues to the grave's whereabouts…now I fully understand their meaning." He pauses for a moment to gaze in admiration at the pearl in his bloody fingers. "Fascinating is it not? It appears to be such a small, meaningless object, yet it contains the grave of one of the greatest youkai lords to ever exist…as well as the ultimate weapon he crafted from his own fang."
With Saeko's assistance, Inu-Yasha gets to his feet while covering his punctured eye with his other hand. "That's the grave?" he shouts incredulously. "Seems kinda tiny don't ya think?"
Sesshô-maru doesn't reply with words, but calmly walks over to his trampled servant, picks up his long wooden staff and gives the green imp a swift kick, knocking him into the hallway, ignoring the crowd that has formed due to all the noise they are making. "Get up Jaken, the grave is mine and it will be as well very soon now." He places the black pearl onto the floor and strikes it with the bottom of the staff. The face of the old man at the top of the staff opens his mouth and starts to laugh.
The youkai's servant is instantly to his feet, his sickly green face smiling in glee. "Mi Lord! The old man laughs! The grave will open for us!" The elder inu brother continues to hold the staff over the grave as a dark vortex forms right in front of them. In a flash of brilliant light, Sesshô-maru and Jaken enter the grave.
Inu-Yasha growls loudly and cracks his knuckles. "That no good bastard!" he shouts. "We made a deal! I stay away from his big fancy castle and out of his lands and he stays out of Tokyo and my life!" He steps in front of the vortex with a determined look in his eyes. "I'm gonna make him pay for breaking that deal and shoving his fingers in my eye." The hanyou boy starts to walk inside when a delicate looking clawed hand quickly grasps his. He looks over and sees Saeko watching him with a worried expression. "I have to go after him," he softly says, rubbing a thumb over her hand gently.
"I know," the neko hanyou responds, "and I'm coming with you."
"No you're not," her boyfriend quickly responds, distancing himself from her a bit. "He's my brother, he's after my father's grave…this is my fight." He is about to turn around again when Saeko suddenly does something very unexpected; she slaps him very hard across the face. Inu-Yasha holds his quickly reddening cheek, a look of disbelief on his face. "S-Saeko? Why'd you do that?" His body freezes up at the sight of tears in her beautiful forest green eyes.
She then does another unexpected action; she grabs the inu boy by his hair and fiercely kisses him on the lips. She pulls back a moment later, the tears now flowing from her eyes. "Cause you're an idiot," she answers. "I just got you back in my life and I'm not going to lose you again…especially not forever!" Inu-Yasha is about to say something, but she quickly places a clawed finger over his lips, silencing him. "I don't care what you may think or say, you're injured right now…there's no way you can take your brother just by yourself."
"Listen to what she says!" Myôga exclaims, leaping onto the inu hanyou's nose with an angry expression. "Your brother is a full youkai and in your condition you have no chance of even standing up to him!"
Saeko gently caresses her beloved's face with a soft expression. "Face it koinu, I'm coming with you like it or not."
Inu-Yasha sighs in frustration before replying, "Okay, okay, lets get in there and kick his sorry ass!" With a gleeful smile, the neko girl grabs his hand and drags the young man into the vortex with her, and into battle with a powerful, relentless youkai lord.
The ever-growing crowd outside of the classroom watches in awe as the two hanyou rush into the strange portal that has appeared in the middle of the room. Several people shout in annoyance as a raven-haired youth pushes her way through the mass of people, intent on finding out what is so important to disrupt her learning. Kagome makes her way to the front and her breath catches in her throat as she sees a familiar figure with long flowing silver hair being pulled through a spinning vortex. "W-Was that Inu-Yasha?" she mutters out loud.
A student next to her happens to hear what she just said and answers, "Yeah, he and that other hanyou girl jumped in. Some scary looking youkai who said that he's Inu-Yasha's brother barged in and attacked him. He really messed that poor guy up. It was pretty freaky!"
The younger Higurashi sister, ignoring all common sense at the moment, runs into the room and dives headfirst into the vortex, intent on helping the inu hanyou who has stolen her heart. As her body completely enters, she feels a brief moment of vertigo before she enters on the other side in a large and mystical clearing…over two hundred feet above the ground. Kagome starts to scream as she begins her rapidly increasing descent into a most assured instantaneous death when a clawed hand grabs her wrist and pulls her onto a large skeletal bird. It takes a few moments to catch her breath and get out the sheer terror that filled her heart and when she steadies herself, the teenaged human groggily looks up to see two confused hanyou looking right back at her. "Um…hi?"
Saeko growls under her breath about stupid little girls coming where they don't belong while her boyfriend checks the Higurashi for any injuries, though he is also quite upset at her for following them. "Kagome," he lightly, but sternly begins, "why'd ya follow us? Its gonna get real dangerous down here and you're one of the last people I wanted to see here right now."
Kagome feels her face heat up at the hanyou's concerned words, her grogginess instantly vanishing. It is now that she takes in the extent of the inu boy's injuries. "Inu-Yasha! What happened to you?"
Inu-Yasha looks away, one hand absentmindedly touching the hole in his stomach. "My brother," he mutters, the distaste clearly noticed in his voice. "He and I've got some unfinished business. We 'aint exactly close-knit, but we had an agree…"
"Oh…dear…Kami," Saeko suddenly whispers, gazing out ahead at the sight they are heading towards. The other hanyou and his human friend turn to face their destination…the skeletal remains of a youkai of incredible size. It is wearing ancient armor and has apparently been resting here for many years, judging by the dense foliage that is growing all on and around it.
The inu boy stares at the youkai skeleton, knowing full well who it once was when it was alive. "Father."
Both young women stare at the hanyou they love in shock. "W-What!" Kagome stutters out, looking back and forth between Inu-yasha and the humongous form they are heading towards. "You mean those bones…that skeleton…is your father?"
"Yeah," he off-handedly replies, "can't you see the resemblance?" He snorts in amusement, but turns aside with a light scowl.
"Inu-Yasha," the young human calmly begins while placing a hand on his shoulder, "I'm sorry."
The inu hanyou snorts again, though there is no trace of amusement in it this time. "What's to be sorry for? I mean he died when I was a little pup, like right after I was born from what I remember my mother telling me. Its not like I was really attached to him or nothin'."
Kagome is about to say something else, but Saeko gently grabs her hand and shakes her head no. With that tenseness now between them, the trio silently sits on their ride towards the remains of the once great youkai lord.
Sesshô-maru and Jaken both land silently inside the enormous youkai stomach, the bottom of which is filled with the bones of humans and lesser youkai alike. The two pay no heed to the vast multitude of skeletons below their feet and continue forward to the one treasure the Lord of the Western Lands has desired above all others. "My precious Tetsusaiga," he whispers under his breath, "at last I have found you. " The tiny green imp stops in his tracks to let his master savor this moment all to himself.
The full-blooded youkai walks onto the small elaborate looking circular platform with a flame type design climbing up on the back of it as his eyes take in the old sword stuck in the center. "Said to posses the power to fell a hundred youkai in a single stroke, the 'Steel Cleaving Fang' is finally mine."
Jaken watches on with anticipation and excitement. "Tis true mi lord," he begins, "that the blade was carved from your father's very own fang? And that by wielding the Tetsusaiga…you inherit your father's immense youkai powers as well?"
Sesshô-maru does not speak, but a shadow of a smirk passes across his face and vanishes as quickly as it appeared. He reaches out and grasps the hilt with his hand. Just as he gets a firm grip the blade a powerful barrier stings it and the area they are in is filled with bright electric light. The youkai's retainer squawks out in surprise. Sesshô-maru releases the hilt and gazes impassively down at his slightly scorched and smoking hand. "A shield spell over the sword," he calmly mutters under his breath, "I should have expected as much from father." Though he appears cool and collected on the outside, on the inside the inu youkai is becoming quite irritated. 'Even in death father continues to taunt me…but this is only a minor setback. I will soon discover the secret to the spell over the Tetsusaiga and it will finally be mine.'
Before a single idea can come to him, a familiar voice shouts, "SESSHÔ-MARU!" from far above. He looks up to see his boorish little brother leaping down into their father's remains. The youkai is momentarily surprised by the sight of a young human woman he is piggyback carrying down with him as well as the neko hanyou right at their side. "I'm not through with you yet you bastard!" Inu-Yasha snarls as he hits the bone riddled ground. He charges at his older brother and throws a powerful slash at him…only to hit nothing but air.
The full-blooded youkai sighs disdainfully from his new location on the flame design on the pedastal. "Slow as ever I see. I must admit I am surprised at the newest member of your little party," he begins while glaring at Kagome, who flushes slightly under his intense gaze. "I see you are more like father than I had originally thought." He pauses for a moment and stands up to his full height. "Tell me Inu-Yasha, did you come here to join father in his grave…or do you now want his ultimate treasure as well?"
"Ultimate treasure?" the inu hanyou asks with a confused expression. "What the hell are you talking about? Not that mangled lookin' old sword?" He moves a little to the side so he is now standing right in front of Saeko and Kagome, protecting them just in case his brother tries to do something.
"It's true!" Myoga exclaims on his spot on his master's shoulder. "That is the legendary blade 'Tetsusaiga' that your father created with his very own fang. Its power is immense and it is your rightful inheritance." As an added treat, the old nomi adds, "With the Tetsusaiga in your hands, you will be powerful enough to defeat your brother."
Inu-Yasha's eyebrows rise in surprise at that last added bit. "Really?" he mutters out loud. He suddenly smirks widely. "Y'know what? I think I'll give that sword a try." He starts to walk towards it when both Saeko and Kagome grab his shoulder from behind. "What's wrong you two?"
"I-I don't think this is a good idea Inu-Yasha," the young human begins, eyeing Sesshô-maru and the place they're in with fear in her eyes.
The neko hanyou nods in agreement. "She's right koinu, that sword is making me feel nervous for some reason. I can help you fight your brother so we can get out of here safely."
Inu-Yasha firmly shakes his head. "No," he replies while turning around to face them, "I can take care of myself and I don't wanna see either of you getting hurt. Just stay back and I'll make sure nothing happens to you." As both young women see the determination burning in his deep golden eyes, they nod subconsciously to his request and back off slightly. "Alright, now it's time for me to take my inheritance!"
With a single leap he lands on the platform holding the Tetsusaiga. Sesshô-maru does nothing to stop him in any way, he just plainly watches to see if the sword's barrier will stop him from claiming it as well. The inu boy reaches out and grasps the hilt of the sword in his right hand, his eyes widening as he feels an odd beating reverberating from the hilt. 'A-A pulse!' he thinks to himself. 'The blade has a pulse?' Confused yet also emboldened, Inu-Yasha pulls upwards and the sword easily comes loose from the platform. He lets out a gasp as it suddenly transforms right before his eyes. Thick, fluffy gray fur covers the end of the hilt where it connects to the blade and the blade itself elongates and becomes immensely wider, changing into a large fang…the true form of the Tetsusaiga. A small smirk grows across his face as he thinks, 'So this is what you gave to me old man? Not bad.'
As Jaken's jaw hits the floor, Sesshô-maru's eyes widen slightly in disbelief. 'What?' he thinks. 'How was that half-breed able to do what I could not? I, a full-blooded youkai?' He leaps down and faces his half brother, his youkai aura flaring to life. "Give me that blade Inu-Yasha," he forcefully says, his eyes flashing red for a moment.
"Hell no!" the hanyou exclaims while getting into a defensive stance. "This sword is pretty damn cool and there's no way I'm gonna give it to you, you bastard!"
"Fine," the Lord of the Western Lands replies, his eyes shifting colors, "if you will not give it to me willingly," he walks forward while his face elongates, "then I shall take it from your rotting corpse." The youkai grows larger and larger, his clothes disappearing while his skin is covered with thick white fur. After another moment he finishes and is completely transformed into his true form, that of a gigantic inu youkai.
Saeko and Kagome back up against the wall at the frightening sight of the youkai. "W-Whoa," the neko girl stammers out.
"Big," the human adds. 'I think I'm in way over my head,' she thinks while a giant sweatdrop forms on the back of her head. Myoga suddenly vanishes quite hurriedly from his master's shoulder to a safe…I mean he goes where he can get a good unobstructed view of everything.
Sesshô-maru glares down at his half-brother and snarls menacingly at him, drool dripping from his mouth. He takes a step forward, the entire skeleton shaking slightly due to the force. The full-blooded youkai stares down Inu-Yasha for a few moments to see if the weakling will be wise and step down. When he foolishly does not, the now enormous inu decides to end the battle quickly and easily and leaps into the air, fully intending to crush him under his massive weight.
As the inu hanyou watches his brother leap into the air, his smile widening. The moment he first grasped Tetsusaiga he knew he could win this battle. As his older brother grows nearer, Inu-Yasha knows what he has to do and quickly acts. He leaps up with his new sword ready and as Sesshô-maru thrusts his giant left paw forward in an effort to stop him he shouts, "Take this you bastard!" and easily thrusts the fang-blade through the paw of the youkai and it continues to slice all the way up it's arm. As he reaches the end, Inu-Yasha pulls the blade out and swipes it across, severing the Lord of the Western Land's arm off.
"Mi Lord!" Jaken frantically screeches as he helplessly watches his master collapse to the ground, blood pouring profusely from the stump that used to be his left arm. The appendage itself has fallen some distance away, now nothing more than a useless giant lump of furry flesh. "You'll pay for that half-breed!" the bulbous little imp shouts as hi raises his staff into the air
Sesshô-maru unsteadily gets up, the missing limb causing him to be a little unbalanced. He stares murderously at his despicable half-brother, still intent on killing him and extricating the Tetsusaiga from his cold, dead fingers despite what has just happened to him.
The inu boy watches his older brother get back to his feet while holding his new blade ready. As the giant inu youkai lunges forward, Inu-Yasha rushes under him and says, "Goodbye…brother!" as he slashes upward and strikes the great beast directly across the chest.
The great youkai lord stands on his hind legs and howls in pain as blood gushes from both his left arm and the newly made gash across his chest. He staggers back a couple of steps before falling against the inside of his father's skeleton. The force of his stumble causes the old bones to shatter and Sesshô-maru falls through the whole to the outside where he continues to fall down and away.
Jaken rushes to the giant hole his master just fell through while hoping up and down in shock. "M-M-Mi Lord! Wait for me!" the nasty little imp says before jumping out of the skeleton after him.
A moment after realizing that the battle is over and everything is safe both Kagome and Saeko rush over to the inu hanyou they love. "You did it Inu-Yasha!" the young human praises with a glorious smile.
"You're no fun," the neko girl playfully pouts. "You got to kick some ass and you didn't even let me join in." She pauses to lean in and embrace him warmly. "You were very brave koinu," the young woman adds while giving him a smile promising untold joys later on.
Inu-Yasha licks his suddenly dry lips. "Y-Yeah," he dumbly mutters. He turns his gaze to the blade in his hands. 'Thanks old man,' the hanyou thinks to himself, 'you left me quite an heirloom that helped me to kick your eldest son's sorry ass…you'd be proud of me.'
Kagome looks over at the gaping hole Sesshô-maru fell out of. "Are…are those two gone for good?" she hesitantly asks while chewing the bottom of her lip.
"Nah," Inu-Yasha replies with a shrug, his right eye healing up nicely, "it's gonna take a lot more than that to take my dearest older brother down. He's just as stubborn as me," he finishes while giving both women a cocky smirk. They both giggle in response.
"You did splendidly Lord Inu-Yasha!" Myoga suddenly exclaims after appearing on the hanyou's shoulder. "I never doubted you for a single mome…ACK!" he never gets to finish as the tiny nomi gets squashed in between his master's fingers.
"Yeah," he growls, "ya never doubt me til it gets too dangerous and then you suddenly disappear!" After blowing Myoga off of his fingers and watching him fall down like a piece of paper, Inu-Yasha turns to the two ladies. "So are you two ready to go home now?"
Later that day Inu-Yasha and Saeko have returned home to the inu boy's apartment. They are both lying on his couch and enjoying each other's presence. The young female hanyou turns her head to look at her boyfriend's new blade lying on the floor in front of them. "Say koinu," she begins to get his attention.
"Mmm?"
"How did you get your sword to transform into that giant fang…and why did it change back into a rusty old sword again?"
The hanyou boy suddenly shouts, "Oww!" and slaps his cheek. With a sigh he pulls his hand back and asks, "What is it now Myoga?"
With a pop! the little nomi forms back into shape and bows slightly. "I apologize for intruding on this personal moment Lord Inu-Yasha, but I heard the young Lady's question and I believe I know the answer after watching everything progress carefully earlier."
"Alright," Inu-Yasha says while both he and Saeko sit up on the couch, "ya got our attentions so spill it."
Myoga leaps down on top of the floor and clears his throat. "Your older brother had of course beaten us inside you father's grave and to the Tetsusaiga and I was confused why he had not taken the sword before we had entered but then it occurred to me that he did not take it because he was unable to do so."
Both hanyou look at each other in confusion. "What do you mean he couldn't take it? That doesn't make much sense."
"Oh bet it makes perfect sense my dear," the nomi responds. "Lord Inu-Yasha's father was a great and powerful youkai. Before he perished he entrusted his grave and the Tetsusaiga to you, as you already know. What you did not know was that your father had the Tetsusaiga forged for the specific purpose of protecting your dear mortal mother. That was why it was created and that is how it works." As his master's eyes widen in understanding, Myoga continues, "So that was how Lord Inu-Yasha was able to properly wield the legendary blade and not Sesshô-maru, he who despises the very thought of humans and would never bring himself to ever protect one. When you told both Lady Kagome and Lady Saeko to stand down and that you would fight for them, the blade responded to your desire to protect them and acknowledged you as its true owner." He crossed his top two arms and nodded sagely. "Yes, you have inherited a powerful item and as long as you use it to protect, the Tetsusaiga will always be by your side."
Inu-Yasha smiles as he lets everything sink in. "Well that's good to know…especially since the fact that I can use that sword and Sesshô-maru can't probably pisses him off to no end!" He reaches inside his pocket and pulls out the small black pearl that is in actuality his father's grave and final resting spot. With a flick he tosses it over to its retainer. "There ya go Myoga. Take good care of it alright and…don't be a stranger."
The servant of the hanyou grabs the pearl and looks up at his master, his eyes shining with fresh tears. "Oh my Lord…you have changed! You are so much kinder…I'm so happy!" The nomi bows once more before leaping out of a nearby window, leaving a trail of tears behind.
The inu boy watches the little coward leave with a scowl. He turns towards his girlfriend and asks, "Do you think I've gotten nicer or something koneko?"
"Of course my little koinu," Saeko answers with a giggle. She places a hand on his chest and pushes the inu boy back down onto his couch. Inu-Yasha licks his lips again at the twinkle in her eyes and the inviting smile gracing her beautiful lips. "But you're nowhere as near as nice as I am right now," she added in a deep husky voice before leaning down and catching her beloved's lips in her own.
