Chapter 12: Swordsmith's Secret
The rage inside Sesshomaru was now reaching to a dangerously high level. It was crying out for the blood of the senile old fool, Totosai and if he had told Inuyasha, then he would die an agonizing death. Sesshomaru now knew what to do about this dilemma, he would kill the swordsmith whether he told his son or not. He still held the letter in his hands and was going to take it with him so they could be away from prying eyes, and to be more specific, Jaken's prying eyes. Sesshomaru walked out of the room and started walking to the room where his armor was. When he reached the room, he found his armor, but no swords. Once he had put on his protective covering, he tucked the letter inside the armor and stormed out of the room looking for Jaken.
When he was done following his scent, he found him entering the gates with both his swords. "Jaken, why did you take my swords?" The little imp shook in fear when he heard Sesshomaru's death-cold voice. He looked up and saw his master with death written in his eyes. Uh-oh! That's the look Lord Sesshomaru always has before he kills someone. I better explain before he murders me! "Please Lord Sesshomaru, don't kill me! I just took your swords to be sharpened and I was going to surprise you. Honest!" Sesshomaru stared at the imp bowing and begging for his life in front of him. He said nothing to him and took the Tenseiga and Tokijin from his hands. He started to walk in the direction where Jaken just came from.
Jaken hadn't noticed that Sesshomaru was walking away from him. "Where are you going milord?" Sesshomaru stopped walking with his back turned to his toad-like servant. "I am going to… meet Totosai. You stay here Jaken, I shall handle this myself." His beak fell wide open for he didn't want to stay with Rin all afternoon. But the only thing that puzzled him was why Sesshomaru was meeting Totosai in the first place. It obviously wasn't about a sword, so what could it be about?
The toad hadn't bothered asking, for he already knew the result of his attempts. Big lumps on his head and his life will probably be shortened by a hundred years. Once Sesshomaru was out of sight, Jaken went back inside to wait for Lord Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru put both swords into his sash and a small cloud began to appear from under him. (You know how in episode 19, Sesshomaru and Jaken leave by a cloud. I thought it would be cool to put that in.) By now, he was out of the grounds of the castle and went in the direction that led to Totosai's home, if you can call it that. She must have been lying. There is no way possible that Totosai has actually known of all these years. But Izayoi hadn't lied to me about Inuyasha being my son, so why would she lie about this? The demon lord hadn't been in the mood of thinking about it so he shook the thoughts out of his head.
He could already smell Totosai's scent, so he had to have been close. Sesshomaru had just found him outside of his home as though he were about to leave. Totosai had saw Sesshomaru and began to back away from him. Sesshomaru, now on the ground, glided over to where the swordsmith was at great speed so he could not escape. Now Totosai had nowhere to run. "AAAHHH! Sesshomaru, what do you want? I know you don't want a sword, so want do you want with me!" He terrified Totosai because every single time he saw Sesshomaru, he was trying to kill him or Inuyasha.
"I am not interested in a sword. I have only come to question you about a certain subject." And when he finishes answering, I shall kill him. For he is the only other living creature that knows Inuyasha is my son. Totosai appeared to be very confused. The only questions he could possibly answer were questions about his father or the Tenseiga. And in both subjects, Sesshomaru already knew everything about both, so what could he possibly want? "Alright, I'll answer your questions to the best of my abilities."
Sesshomaru now looked as though he were staring at an unmarked grave. That was, at least, going to be Totosai's unmarked grave, which he would soon be staring at. As Sesshomaru took one step forward Totosai, the swordsmith took one back for he wanted to live a long time. I wonder what does he want with me?
"Izayoi entrusted you with a secret before she died, did she not?" Totosai looked confused, for he didn't what he was talking about. Maybe if I pretend to agree with him, he'll go away.
"Of course I know it! How could I not?" Totosai practically screamed it at Sesshomaru's face. This only made Sesshomaru angrier and more bent on killing him.
"Have you told Inuyasha about it?" Since Totosai still didn't know what he was talking about, so he just kept agreeing. "Told Inuyasha about? Of course I have!" Sesshomaru's eyes started to widen when he said it. "At first he was surprised, but then he got over it. Why do you want to know?" Totosai has told Inuyasha already.
Sesshomaru took out his Tokijin and aimed it at Totosai. He jumped back when he saw the sword pointed to him. "Totosai, for telling Inuyasha, you shall die." Totosai started running to Momo and told him to start flying, Sesshomaru's here. That only made Momo go much faster than he already was. Sesshomaru watched his prey run away from. "It is no use Totosai, I will catch and kill you for telling Inuyasha. Besides, I enjoy a good hunt." Totosai had heard him so to keep him away from him for a little while, he took a deep breath and his cheeks started to widen. Out of him of his mouth, then came fire aimed right at Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru moved out of the direction of the fire and Totosai had escaped from his grasp. "Totosai, I shall give you a head start. But rest assured, I will hunt you down and bury you myself." The cloud appeared from under the demon lord again and Sesshomaru began to follow the scent of Totosai.
MeanwhileInuyasha rested under the tree where Kagome and them sat to eat lunch. Now Kagome and Inuyasha were in another argument about her cooking. "Inuyasha! I can't believe you would just throw the food, which I made myself, aside so you can just eat the stupid ramen!" Kagome screamed at Inuyasha's face. Shippo, Sango, Myoga, and Miroku were just listening and watching. Some were eating and some were not. "Hey! It ain't my fault your stupid food tastes so crummy. Besides, I like the noodles better!" Kagome's face was red with fire and Inuyasha was in danger as of now.
"SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT BOY!" Inuyasha's face once again met the ground and he couldn't get up for several minutes. And when he did, their lunch site was completely ruined and lunch was now over. Myoga hopped onto Inuyasha's face and sucked some blood for his meal. And as usual, Inuyasha slapped him and the old flea came withering to the ground. Once Myoga recovered and hopped back on Inuyasha's shoulder, everyone heard a cow mooing. All of a sudden, a cow with three eyes appeared from the sky and with it, came a screaming Totosai.
"Oh man! First I get sat five times and now I have to deal with a screaming old geezer!"
"Totosai, what's the matter?" Myoga said, ignoring Inuyasha's constant yelling. Totosai had managed to stop screaming long enough to tell them the situation. "Sesshomaru is trying to kill me because I told Inuyasha about a secret." Inuyasha stopped complaining long enough to hear the part about a secret. He grabbed Totosai's kimono and started to shake him.
"You never told me nothing. What secret was it?" Inuyasha looked almost eager to find out. Maybe it's the same secret my mother was talking about.
"I don't even know what he's talking about! I don't remember any secret. I only told Sesshomaru that I knew so he could go away, but now he is trying to kill me! Help me Inuyasha!" Totosai practically begged him for this while Inuyasha's anger was reaching its boiling point.
"You know what? I'm getting sick of the bastard. So this time," Inuyasha let go of Totosai and started to walk off into the forest. "I'm gonna kill him and show him no mercy! You stay here, I'll handle this myself." Inuyasha ran deep into the forest and soon, he was out of sight. When Inuyasha finally reached to the end of the forest, he found Sesshomaru in the sky with his Tokijin out as though he were looking for a battle. Sesshomaru just saw Inuyasha and went straight for the ground, making no effort of attacking him.
"Inuyasha, where is Totosai?"
"Somewhere else and I ain't telling you where! You wanna know something, big bro? I've just about had it with you. So this time, we are gonna battle to the death and no one leaves until the other one is dead." Inuyasha took out his Tetsusaiga and it transformed into a sword of the fang. Sesshomaru just stared at him as though he were looking at him for the very first time. He made no attempts to back out from the fight, and Inuyasha wasn't about to leave anytime soon. So the only option left was to battle to the death! Totosai lied to me. He told me that Inuyasha had already known the truth about his origin, but it seems to me that he stills considers me as his half-brother.
"Fine Inuyasha, we shall fight. We shall fight… to the death."
Preview for Chapter 13: Cry of Help
"This time I'm gonna kill the bastard!" Kagome looked shock at him. "Inuyasha, no! Don't kill Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha had ignored her and was going to continue with his attack.
"BACKLASH WA…" Inuyasha stopped once he saw Kagome in front of Sesshomaru, as though she were shielding him from the hanyou's attack. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha stared at Kagome as though she had lost her mind. "Kagome! Move out of the way. If I attack him while you're there, then you're gonna get hit too!"
"I don't care! You can't hurt Sesshomaru. I won't allow you to kill him!" Inuyasha's jaw completely dropped. Did she… did just tell me NOT to kill Sesshomaru? Inuyasha sheathed the Tetsusaiga and more anger began to boil on his face. "What, you've fallen in love with him and you're pregnant with his kid? Is that what you wanna tell me!" Kagome looked completely insulted while Sesshomaru was merely amused. I wouldn't make the same mistake twice.
"Of course not! You can't kill him because he's your…"
OH NO! Sesshomaru and Inuyasha are going to fight! I can't believe Inuyasha would be as stupid as to be sat five times. In the next chapter, there is gonna be a lot of yelling and screaming, so I hope you enjoy that!
