Chapter Ten: Showdown in the Clearing, Skirmish for the Tetsaiga!
Ed's POVI knew this wasn't going to be easy, having to fight Inuyasha to get that sword wasn't really what I had in mind though. Why Sesshoumaru wanted that sword is beyond me, I really didn't care either.
Only two things weighed on my mind; Get Alphonse back and how am I going to fight Inuyasha…and win?
Taking a step forward I was about to start things, but…Kagome stopped me!
--
"You don't have to do this," Kagome said, Edward looked at her "You have to…let him go, ok?"
This last comment made Edward pull back and glare at her, he held up his right arm and clenched his fist.
"Don't think…your innocence will make me change my mind. Kagome, don't take this personally, I'm grateful for your kindness but…if there's a way to bring my brother back to life then nothing, NOTHING, will get in my way to achieve it. I will not stay ignorant just for your friendship."
"But…"
"Kagome! He's clearly chosen his side," Inuyasha said, he rested the Tetsaiga on his shoulder "If he wants to fight so be it."
"I don't want to fight…I just want that sword." Edward stated.
"Well you're gonna have ta fight me for it then!" Inuyasha snapped. The others just watched, they weren't entirely sure what to do. Do they jump in and try and stop the two from fighting or let Kagome try and stop them…they all had seen, or at least thought they've seen, Inuyasha and Edward at their worst and didn't wish to invoke that wrath on themselves, they kept their distance…
Kagome, who was getting fed up with the situation turned towards Inuyasha and said,
"Inuyasha…sit boy!" On que he hit the dirt, she then rounded on Edward who took yet another step back, this time out of slight fear. "And you! I'm sure you'll get your
memory back, you just need to give it time. I'm sure your brother wouldn't want you to do this."
"How should I know!" Edward suddenly snapped "This is why I have to do this! If so, I will have learned something…if I don't do this I will probably never know what he would have wanted…" he then glared at her "Get out of my way Kagome…"
"You're such a…" Kagome told Inuyasha to 'sit' again before he could finish his sentence.
"No…you have to stop this, Inuyasha has a point…we know Sesshoumaru much better then you do, how do you know if he'll keep his end of the bargain?" Kagome asked, taking a step forward Edward said again,
"I have to try anyway, now move…"
"You're so stubborn! I said I'm not moving so that's that!" she snapped. Sighing Edward said,
"I may not understand it…I doubt I ever will…but…. when I do this," he clapped his hands together "I can do things nobody else can," Edward looked at Kagome with an emotionless expression, he then touched the ground. There was a bright flash of light, everyone covered their eyes, when the light died away they all looked at Edward. He was holding a long spear like weapon.
"What the hell…" Inuyasha muttered.
"I'll ask again…move Kagome."
"…"
Inuyasha found he was able to move again, he got up and charged at Edward. Jumping over Kagome, he brought the Tetsaiga down on him, moving swiftly Edward was able to dodge the attack. Taking the opportunity to attack back, Edward swung the spear around and managed to catch Inuyashas' left arm with a nasty slash.
"That's the advantage of using a weapon such as the spear…you can stab your enemy full of holes and stay at a safe distance." Edward said, he smirked slightly and attacked again, this time he wasn't lucky enough to land another blow this time. Inuyasha swung the Tetsaiga around, it slammed into Edwards right arm which then slammed into his rib cage, other then having the wind knocked out of him and being slightly brused he managed to get up again.
"Nice…but it's gonna take more then that." He gasped.
"Heh…you've got guts kid I'll give you that," Inuyasha sneered "But to be honest with ya, I never did trust you."
"…heh…that's one thing we have in common." Edward said, he was frowning though when he said it. They went at it again, Inuyasha getting more and more slashes from the spear, he was only able to hit Ed two more times sense the first time. Both blows though doing a considerable about of damage to both Edward right arm and his ribs.
"Give it up kid, these wounds you gave me are just scratches. It wouldn't surprise me if your ribs are either brused or busted, you wont last much longer." Inuyasha said. Edward staggered slightly on his feet, seeing that this weapon wasn't working to his advantage anymore he stuck it in the ground and looked up at Inuyasha.
"You're dumber then I thought, I'll do whatever it takes to get my brother back…don't think a few bruses are going to stop me."
"Fine…it's your funeral kid." Inuyasha said holding up the Tetsaiga "All I have ta say is you put up less then a decent fight…but you just wont lie down so you've left me no choise."
"What?" Edward stared at Inuyasha, what was he talking about?
"I'm going to show you why…Sesshoumaru wants this sword!" wind started to circle around the blade of the sword, Edward just watched it…wondering how that was possible.
"Wait a minute!" Miroku shouted "What are you doing Inuyasha?"
"What's it look like I'm doin' Miroku! I'm usin' the Wind Scar!" Inuyasha snapped.
"That's just it! He's human, how can you use the Wind Scar on a human!" Miroku stated. Inuyasha turned and looked at Miroku then back at Edward, he could see it…the wind scar…it was right there. He knew Edward was human but how was he…then it hit him….
"That can't be…why didn't I notice?" Inuyasha stammered. He shook his head, and raised the Tetsaiga over his head, he had to do it, he brought the Tetsaiga down and a gale-force of some sort of energy went sailing towards Edward.
Seeing this Edward took a quick step back, he then glared. Stepping to the right he dodged the first stream, he kept moving around, for some reason he was able to withstand the strong gale like winds being blown at him. Within minutes he was standing right next to Inuyasha, he reached out and grabbed the Tetsaiga,
"Give it to me!" he snapped.
"What the?" Inuyasha hadn't even seen him standing there until he had his hands on the Tetsaiga.
"Give it to me!" he said again this time attempting to pull it out of Inuyashas' hands, Inuyasha pulled back. Edward let go and quickly clapped his hands, he reached out and slapped Inuyashas' hands. It was as if a sharp shock had zapped Inuyasha, his hands went numb and the sword fell out of his hands. Edward picked it up and started for the forest, he was almost there when a giant boomerang smashed into the ground in front of him, he skidded to a stop.
"That's Sango's…" he turned and saw the others running after him "hmm." He turned back towards the forest and saw Rin leaning against a tree, that's where she disappeared too! "Rin!" he shouted, she looked up.
"Hey! You got it!" she smiled, Edward ran up to her and handed it to her.
"Take this to Sesshoumaru quickly! I need to lose these guys…" Edward said jestering behind him. Rin looked over his shoulder then at him,
"Ok!" she laughed, Rin took Tetsaiga and ran off into the forest. Edward turned and saw that the party was nearly on him, he dashed off into the dense forest. They won't catch him in here…
