Chapter IV: The new weapon
Sorry it's late. It has been busy here, but I got the fourth chapter up. Enjoy, thank you.
InuYasha's goals were all known. He had to defeat Naraku, the half-demon who killed Kagome. He knew he would have to find a way to actually fight him. He knew that there was one person out there who could help him. The legendary sword smith Totosai, who crafted the Tetsusaiga. InuYasha found Totosai in his cave, crafting swords. InuYasha asked, "Hey, Totosai." Totosai replied, "Is that you InuYasha? How are you and tetsusaiga doing? Wait…where is everyone else." InuYasha said, "Well Miroku, Sango, and Shippo are at Kaede's village, but Kagome…" Totosai looked at him with sadness and said, "She died…didn't she?"
InuYasha thought to himself. He looked up at Totosai and said, "Totosai, is there a way to use the tetsusaiga if I was a human?" Totosai looked at the half-demon's sad eyes and said, "Well…no. I never intended for the sword to be used by a human." InuYasha then said, "Can you forage a new tenseiga for me?" Totosai looked and said, "InuYasha, I would, but the fangs of your father are dead and have no magic in them. I need alive magical fangs to do that." InuYasha looked at him a said, "Well, could you make me a new sword then?" Totosai thought to himself and answered, "Hmm, well I could, provided that you have something to make it out of." InuYasha pulled out a quiver of arrows, the same arrows that Kagome had before she died. "These arrows were Kagome's. They still have some holy power left from Kagome. Can you use the arrowheads? Totosai replied, "Well I could, but tell me, why do you need a sword like this?" InuYasha looked and said, "I need them to defeat Naraku. I need to fight human to get the cure for death." Totosai looked at InuYasha with a serious face and said, "I will make this sword. Come back in a few days. By the time it is done, the time for the fight will be then."
InuYasha spent the remaining time Training, but often remembering Kagome's bravery. He would look up at the stars and see that smile. InuYasha thought about that smile, the smile that would make everything better. Even in the darkest hour, she would smile. InuYasha reached down and pulled up the locket that Kagome had given him. He looked at it and said, "I should have made you run. You could have lived. But you would have been stubborn and wouldn't leave. That bravery makes me think I can save you." As he said this, he looked at the locket. He looked at the picture of Kagome and said, "I wish you were still here." As he said this, it began to rain. He looked up and it began to thunder. InuYasha looked up and said, "Kagome…you're crying…aren't you? Please Kagome stop. I hate it when you cried. It always made me sad. I would hate to think I made you cry. Don't worry…you'll be home soon. I promise.
Time had passed since that day. InuYasha visited Totosai. InuYasha asked, "Hey, is that sword done?" Totosai looked and said, "Ohh, InuYasha, you're here. Yes I have it here. It is a marvelous sword. It has the power to purify demons with one stroke. Only one with a pure heart can wield it." InuYasha said, "Thank you Totosai. This sword is a memento of Kagome. The power of Kagome's sacred arrow made this sword possible. This is the sacred sword of Kagome, The holiest of all blades. The sword that can purify the evilest of demons. I won't name this sword yet. When Kagome is back, we'll name it together." As InuYasha said this he grabbed the sword and starred at it. It had immense spiritual power and a holy miasma would come out of it. InuYasha put it in a sheath made of the wood of the arrows. He put it next to the tetsusaiga. He looked and said, "The new moon is going to come soon. I must head for Naraku's castle." Totosai looked at him and said, "The sword will point to the castle. Ohh, and InuYasha… Good luck.
InuYasha journeyed for days as the new moon was come ever faster. InuYasha never stopped thinking about Kagome. The sword made him feel like Kagome was there with him. The sword made him feel happy again. InuYasha looked over the setting sun and saw the evil castle ahead. He pulled out the locket and said, "I'm not afraid anymore. Heh, think about you made me feel better. Kagome…please be with me. The sword at my side is you helping me, isn't it? I'll finish it tonight… for you Kagome… for you." As InuYasha walked towards the castle, his hair turned black, his claws disappeared, his fangs turned to regular teeth, and his ears were now human. InuYasha was human. He looked and said, "I don't need my powers. I have Kagome's sword. The sword that will destroy Naraku."
