6 – If Sesshoumaru keeps thinking like this his head will burst
---Hilltop---
"Wake up everyone! It is morning already!" Shirubya exclaimed
Everybody woke up surprised "What's the time?" Asked Miroku still sleepy
"It's about a quarter to nine" We're late.. If we don't hurry we won't get to my house before sunset"
They slowly got up and prepared to the journey, they realized that Sesshoumaru and his companions weren't anymore there. Shirubya knew what was the question everyone was thinking
"Your brother didn't want to wait for you, so I explained them were I live, they're going there" She answered.
Inuyasha's group began walking towards Shirubya's house, Totosai decided to leave the group and headed to his own house, saying he had some work to do, Myoga stayed on Shirubya's shoulder instead.
At noon they stopped for a short break, Walking under the sun in summer was so tiring. The one who seemed not to be tired was Shirubya. They drunk some fresh water and ate something, then they started travelling again
"So Shirubya-sama, tell me.. Do you still live in that big pagoda?" Myoga asked
"Yes that's right. I love that place, even if it's a bit… out of the world" She answered
"How much.. OUT?" Inuyasha inquired nervously.
"Relax, we're not far. In some minutes we'll get to a forest, so the sun won't annoy"
After 15 minutes they really got to a forest, it was huge! He trees were so tall you could not see the top.
"Welcome to my home, I'm very proud of this forest. My father planted the first tree" she pointed an enormous tree.
"It is huge!"
"Yes… it is 4000 years old"
"WHAT?"
"You heard right.. Let's go. We'd better get to my house before sunset, I don't like to wake up my aidings"
----------------------------
---Shirubya's pagoda---
Sesshoumaru got to Shirubya's house one or two hours before sunset. Nobody was out there, he decided to wait for the others 'I hope those filthy humans won't walk too slowly' he thought.
Rin and Jaken were amazed by the forest, they both were looking around.
"Sesshoumaru-sama, is that woman so powerful?" Rin asked
He though a bit before answering
"She's out of average surely"
--------------------------------------
--- In the middle of the forest---
"We're arrived" Shirubya said
They got to a big Pagoda, it was enormous. Everything, the roof, the walls and the door, was white. All around the pagoda there was a tall wall "to keep the unexpected guests out" She explained
Everyone stared at Shirubya's house
"I think you like it" She smiled
She looked for Sesshoumaru 'He must be here..'. She found him immediately, he was staring at her pagoda too, Rin and Jaken were amazed.
She headed to the front door and knocked. She said some words to a guard then the door opened showing a garden full of coloured flowers and trees.
They saw an old man heading towards Shirubya, he said something to her, then she turned to Inuyasha's and Sesshoumaru's group
"I'm sorry I have to go.. mmh.. somewhere for a while, Maikotsu will show you your room" She looked at Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru "I'll repair your swords as soon as I can, I've got some things that can't wait to be resolved" She walked towards the pagoda.
The servant greeted the people then headed to the pagoda.
If the outdoor was beautiful, indoor was gorgeous, they were in a huge and totally white hall, there were two stairs, one on the left side, and one on the right one, the servant took the right one.
"We're not used to have so many guests at once.. I suppose something interesting is happening, right?" everybody was so amazed by the pagoda that didn't answered, then Maikotsu continued "Shirubya is a so kind person, he allowed me and many other ones to live here in her house"
"Do you mean you're not a servant?" Miroku asked
"That's right, Shirubya saved the life of everyone of us, and she asked if we wanted to live here, so in exchange of her protection, we help her with the housework and keep the pagoda clean"
They arrived to the bedrooms without saying another word. Inuyasha, Shippou, and Miroku were in the first, the second was for Kagome, Kirara and Sango, and the third was for Sesshoumaru's group.
They found some clean and more conformable kimonos in their rooms.
One or two hours passed, but nobody saw Shirubya, and they didn't dare to go out and explore the house. Except for Sesshoumaru
He was in the garden looking at a tree, the sun was half hidden by the trees and the moon was beginning to show her pale face.
He was still thinking about that sentence.. his father told him to ask something to someone.. he was sure it was Shirubya. He looked up to the stars, this place… he had been here before.
Why don't you ask her?
'What should I ask her, father?'
"Still thinking in the evening" A voice called
It was Shirubya of course. She headed to him with an happy smile on her face. Sesshomaru's face was still surprised and she noticed it
"Did I interrupt you? I'm sorry.."
"Nevermind" He said looking at the stars
"However, I wanted to tell you I can heal the Tenseiga, I can start by now"
Sesshoumaru didn't answered immediately he wanted to ask her another thing, but he didn't dare. Maybe Shirubya wasn't not that 'she'.
"Something wrong?" She asked
Damn! Was she a thought reader? Sesshoumaru kept looking at the sky
"Ah, one more thing. I heard your other sword Toukijin is broken. That one wasn't good sword, so I can't repair that"
A short pause
"But I thought I could make another sword, more similar to the other fang, the Tetsuaiga"
He stared at her 'Is she serious?'
"I am serious" She said
She was REALLY a thought reader!
Shirubya didn't notice his face, she explained where her 'laboratory' was, then she left to look for Inuyasha.
"I don't need an answer now, just think about it and tell me next, when I'll come back with your brother"
Sesshoumaru looked at her leaving, she really was gorgeous in her pale pink kimono.
He walked towards the pagoda
-------------------
--- First room---
Sango, Kirara and Kagome had gone to Inuyasha's room to talk. They all were amazed by the house, particularly by the 4000 year old tree. Inuyasha was a bit nervous instead 'We're here to repair my Tetsuaiga, we can't waste time in silk kimonos and trees, where has that woman gone?' He thought.
"Inuyasha, is there something wrong?" Kagome asked.
He headed to the door and opened it, then he turned to them
"We're not here to relax. I'm going to find that wench. If she doesn't repair my sword we're leaving this night"
"Pleased to be a wench, Inuyasha"
Inuyasha looked back, Shirubya was standing next to the door with a hilarious smile on her face.
Inuyasha almost fell to the ground, he just murmured something to her, and she kept smiling.
"Come on, it's time to see how much damage have you done to that sword" she said
She turned to the others "You can visit my house, if you get lost, just look for one of the people who live here, they will be glad to help you"
-
Inuyasha followed her to the main hall, then they took the other stair (you remember? There were two stairs).
The room was like Totosai's house, Shirubya's was just bigger and cleaner.
Sesshoumaru was in the centre of the room looking around interested, the Tenseiga was on a big anvil near a… dragon?
"Yes that one is a dragon, quite cute isn't it?" She said to Inuyasha
She went towards the dragon and patted over his head, the dragon was about 1.80 metres high and it was completely black. It looked creepy
"Ramone is a big friend of mine, and you can imagine it's useful in making swords"
Inuyasha was still staring at the dragon
"I can't spit fire like Totosai" she said coldly.
He looked at her (is he stupid?)
"Gimme your sword" she sighed.
She put the Tetsuaiga near the other fang, then said something to the dragon
"Le lascio a te. Non scaldarle molto, solo per ammorbidirle"
The dragon nodded then started spitting fire over the swords.
She headed to a table and took some strange instruments. A little hammer and a pair of pincers.
"I need your fangs"
Maybe it was her evil smile, or the pincers and the hammer, but the two brothers shivered.

I can't invent new languages, so the strange language that Shirubya used to talk to the dragon is just Italian. It is translated "I leave these to you, don't warm them too much, just make them soft"
