Scroll 5- Tetsusaiga's Secret

Part A:
The wind howled through the emerald grass, shifting a steady breeze across the tops of the trees nearby while intensified wind swept through the meadow. Naraku stepped back through the thickets of the grass, watching what Inuyasha's next move would be. Kagome stood, grasping her bow with Tetsusaiga's handle in one grasp, and a small bottle of jewel fragments in the other
" Kill her, Inuyasha. She's the reason you were killed 50 years ago. Take the jewel fragments and slaughter her…she's the one who's the enemy, Inuyasha." Naraku said, speaking in a twisted voice. Kagome stood still, backing up whenever -- moved closer toward her.
" Please, Inuyasha. Remember me, don't harm your allies. Please!! Remember!!…" Kagome thought, perplexing in her head what to do next. Naraku shifted his barrier a level higher, maneuvering down a small grass slope, Kanna behind him.
" Do it now!! Inuyasha. The jewel fragments will intensify your rage, it will satisfy your betrayal that this women instilled upon you long ago. Kill her…Do it, she's your victim. Gather the jewel shards, make yourself stronger than you already are. Kill her…" Naraku said, now whispering in a menacing voice.
" Naraku's trying to get Inuyasha to think I'm Kikyo…yet, how can he remember Kikyo when he can't tell friend from foe in his demon form?!" Kagome thought. Inuyasha drew his claws, flexing them in direction of Kagome. His mind was rushed with the thought to live, anger building up in his brain stronger every second.
" Do it now..take the shikon shards and build your strength!" Naraku shouted.
" How can Inuyasha be so angered with rage that he can't even tell who Naraku is, his own mortal enemy?!" Kagome again thought over. Inuyasha again flexed his claws, motioning inward through the tall grass with a highly flustered anger swelling in his eyes. His mind closed in on slaughtering everything, his body continued to build up with hatred and rage. He was moving closer towards Kagome, yet Naraku continued to persuade his mind.
" Kill her, get the jewel and become even a stronger!" Naraku howled. The wind passed through Inuyasha's hair, a fierce growl sounded from his fangs, his eyes targeting his next victim, growing stronger each minute. Instantly, Inuyasha's pace quickened, setting his blood boiling intensely and building up hatred inside his mind. He leaped fiercely in the air, diving close to Kagome; his mind blank with no remembrance of Kagome.
Kagome grasped tetsusaiga's handle in the ground, setting a small barrier that blocked Inuyasha's attack filled with fury. Kagome looked at Inuyasha, who's mind was overtaken .
" I will…gather the jewel shards and ..kill…" Inuyasha spoke, his voice getting less deep each word that he spoke.
" Something's happening in Inuyasha's mind." Naraku perplexed in his head, looking down at the minute barrier Kagome had sealed herself with from tetsusaiga's handle, and a confused and enraged with hate Inuyasha.
" His human mind and blood are settling back into him.. how is this possible?!" Naraku roared inside his head. Kagome stared at Inuyasha, something indeed had occurred in --'s head, his demon blood was settling, his fury was dissipating , and his claws were mildly decreasing in size.
" Is it possible, Inuyasha are you coming back to normal?!" Kagome thought, tears in her eyes facing the Inuyasha she did not know. Inuyasha roared with anger and might, he fell to his knees, flexing his claws back and forth, screaming loudly to try to reach his normal state.
" This isn't possible, Kanna's mirror should've kept him transformed!" Naraku perplexed, facing downward into the meadow where Inuyasha lay, snarling to grasp his normal state. Then, a thought drew past rapidly in Inuyasha's mind. It was a time when he'd felt comfort, peace, and love. Blossoms fell from a elevated cherry tree, surrounded by a light lime green field. The sun shined brightly down upon the earth, covering the atmosphere with radience from the sun's light. Kagome sat in the field, holding Inuyasha's hand. She was looking deep into his eyes, almost crying but holding back the tears. This feeling traveled through Inuyasha's mind deliberately , though the memory came swift. Kagome continued to hold back her emotions, but stared with a smile. Her hair blew in the wind, looking into the eyes of someone she cared for deeply.
" No matter what could happen with Kikyo, or Naraku… remember that one will always care and wonder about you. Don't ever forget me, Inuyasha. Because while you're always there for me, I'll always be there for you." Kagome said, looking back down and releasing her hand from Inuyasha. The memory traveled through Inuyasha's mind. His eyes flourished back to normal, his claws going back to regular size, and his rage completely gone, he stood up; stepping a few paces closer to Naraku. Kagome dis-mantled the barrier from tetsusaiga's handle and hurried over to Inuyasha, dropping the jewel shards and her bow, thrusting her arms around him.
" Please, don't scare me like that again. Don't forget me, please Inuyasha." Kagome whispered, tears coming out of her eyes and she wondered if this was the last time he'd transform. Inuyasha held Kagome close, looking at Naraku standing up on a small hill with Kanna behind him.
" NARAKU!! You filthy bastard!! Inuyasha shouted. Naraku's gaze was not on Inuyasha or Kagome, but on Kanna's mirror clutched in her grasp. Kagome and Inuyasha drew loose, looking up at Naraku and Kanna.
" Inuyasha-, there's a jewel fragment inside the mirror." Kagome whispered, continuing to wonder what had caused Inuyasha to transfigure. Kanna's mirror began to shake more and more each second.
" What's going on, Kanna.? What's wrong with your…" Naraku asked in a normal tone.
" It's trying to expel tetsusaiga's energy back…" Kanna faintly whispered. The mirror suddenly spilled out a beam of light that traveled down the mild hill and grasped tetsusaiga's handle. Kagome grasped her bow and the jewel shards and stood behind Inuyasha, who stared with confusion . Slowly, but steadily the tetsusaiga's blade was rebuilt.
" Kanna!! What is the meaning of this?!!" Naraku shouted in disgust., Kanna did not speak for a few moments but then turned to Naraku.
" While Inuyasha has his sword re-plenished, he cannot fight with it. It is as similar as before he battled Ryukotsei… he cannot wield tetsusaiga. The reason has yet to be determined." Kanna spoke softly, backing upward behind Naraku, who's angered expression progressed to a satisfied smile. The tetsusaiga finished replenishing it's blade and flew back to the ground, resuming it's rusted form. Inuyasha looked at the sword, wondering what Kanna could've meant about tetsusaiga. Picking it up slowly, Inuyasha was able to wield its rusted form.
" Heh, I don't know what the hell you were talking about Kanna, but the sword feels just right to me! Whether you like it or not, Naraku…today's the day I slice you to pieces you filthy bastard!!" Inuyasha held tetsusaiga from his body, flexing its transformed fang. Yet, immediately, the sword electrified Inuyasha, sending a charge through his blood. His fangs grew, and an intensified growl increased each second.
" Oh no!! He's transfiguring again!!" Kagome shouted in her mind. The tetsusaiga was turning Inuyasha into a full demon again, yet this time; his mind was fighting the current change.
" I must…remember Kagome; I must…n…not transform!!" Inuyasha thought loudly in his head, trying to withdraw tetsusaiga from his grasp. Kagome suddenly remembered something both Kaede and Totosai had said. " Only by working together will the two of yee be able to uncover the shards of the jewel…only when the bond between you and Kagome can flourish through your strength will you be able to overcome anything…" Kagome puzzled these words quickly through her mind as Inuyasha struggled to control his increase in rage and anger.
" It's useless to try and bring back Inuyasha, now he will never be able to destroy the anger that overtakes his mind.. You and your friends will be through not by me, but by your precious ally." Naraku laughed wickedly, facing Kagome and the continuing to transfigure Inuyasha. Naraku back away a little and continued to watch. Kagome had to act quickly, Inuyasha's eyes were turning red.

Part B:
Kagome clutched her bow tightly, and pointed her arrow at tetsusaiga. Inuyasha had not yet transformed, but just minutes would pass before Inuyasha would become a full Inuyasha again.
" Inuyasha!! You must try to fire your windscar quickly, fire it at Kanna's mirror!!" Kagome shouted, trying to reach the remaining human functions throughout Inuyasha's brain. The electrified bolts of lighting for tetsusaiga were increasing by the moment, as the blood in Inuyasha consumed faster with hatred. Inuyasha fought to contain his human mind, every instant that passed, his mind weakened deeper. Kagome maneuvered her arrow to the right area near tetsusaiga's blade.
" Alright Kagome…I'll try to..direct my windscar!" Inuyasha-shouted, fighting with might to control the demon form that almost consumed his blood, body and mind. Kagome positioned her bow, facing tetsusaiga's stance.
" WINDSCAR!!!!" Inuyasha shouted with might, the strikes of bright yellow electrified lightning and wind shot from tetsusaiga's blade. Immediately, Kagome had charged her arrow with purified strength that glowed a brilliant magenta; then fired her arrow in the path of the windscar. The arrow burst through into the windscar, charging bolts of lighting and strength into the flowing attack; each second that passed the purification from the arrow made the original windscar stronger, and it's pace, strength, ability and might increased as the attack closed in on Naraku's barrier. Inuyasha collapsed to the ground, holding tetsusaiga while looking at Kagome; who stared at the attack hoping to finally pierce Naraku's barrier. The attack shifted onto the barrier that no attack yet had been able to pierce it. The attack cut through layers of the barrier like wildfire, cutting through and bursting piece by piece of Naraku's shield. Finally, after moments of waiting, Naraku's barrier exploded with the attack from both the tetsusaiga and Kagome's arrow traveling backward to tetsusaiga, seeping through into the blade.
" They've…broken my barrier!?" Naraku howled in his head, facing Kagome and Inuyasha without a shield. Kanna's mirror out of no where had disappeared. Kagome dropped her bow and ran to Inuyasha, who had somehow gone back to his original form. His tetsusaiga was back to its rust form and lay beside a fatigued
Inuyasha. Naraku maneuvered down the small slope with Kanna close behind. He stepped close to Kagome but said nothing while Kagome pointed an arrow at his body.
" Foolish girl. Even though you've dis-mantled my barrier, rest assure I'll construct another, one that's unbreakable. One day, you and your comrades will all die before me, and you will have no where to run and no one to save you." Naraku hissed. Kagome fired an arrow at Naraku, who disappeared with Kanna in a swirling miasma and disappeared out of sight. Kagome threw down her bow and hurried over to Inuyasha, trying to wake him up. His sword on the ground, Inuyasha automatically woke up looking at Kagome's concerned eyes.
Kagome flourished her expression to a relieved look, but before she could do anything else, Inuyasha grabbed her and held her close; Kagome was speechless. It was the second time she saw him cry.

A mist blew through a rocky surrounding, the moon's visage perplexed through the trees in the distance as a harsh wind blew across the dirt soil. Below a cliff, a small river traveled through a narrow passage; the only sound that could be heard. The stars sparkled in the sky as a figure walked through the rocky ground.
" Sesshomaru!!! Are you sure this is the place that will truly hold the secrets of both your tokijin and tenseiga? The directions we received were more advised as to travel in the direction of the east…Sesshomaru??! The atmosphere built up a thick mist, the rocky ground seemed to stretch for miles.
" Tokijin and tenseiga's secrets are to be revealed here, there's something I wish to verify especially with tenseiga. Its real abilities are not yet known, keep your guard…we're not the only ones who travel here…."
