Recap:

"You what!? Can you sense any now?"

"Yeah, only two and they're right next to each other, so I assume they belong to Kouga."

"Oh." He looked at the ground beneath his feet and sat down on the branch. She sat down next to him. "You said earlier, You couldn't believe how hard it must have been on me. Is it hard on you? It wasn't for me because I was born like this, but you were human one second, and a hanyou the next. I'm really sorry…" he never took his eyes off the ground.

End Recap

Chapter 12: Totosai and the Shinsaiga

(A/N: Shin means heart, spirit, or mind. Tetsu means earth, and Ten means heaven. Watch "InuYasha Movie 3: Swords of an Honorable Ruler" and you'll get why they are named like this)

"Don't be sorry! Why do you keep apologizing? This way I can stay here longer!" He didn't answer. "Hello?"

"I hurt you…"

"Yeah, so? I'm fine now. You're really not acting like the InuYasha I've known."

"We should probably go back to the hut. We have along journey tomorrow." With that, InuYasha jumped from the tree and started towards the hut.

"InuYasha," Kagome called, jumping down from the tree. He turned around. "Don't kick yourself. It wasn't your fault. It was Naraku."

"Sure," he turned around and continued to walk, Kagome close behind him.

-------------

"How exactly does Totosai make swords?" Miroku asked. The group had left Kaede's hut, and journeyed to find Totosai.

"First, he pulls your fangs out, then I have no clue how he makes them." InuYasha said. Kagome gasped and placed her hand on her cheek. InuYasha saw this. "No, Not all of them! Just one or two…it doesn't even hurt that much!" he looked away. 'Yeah, hut that much! It hurts like hell!'

"I heard that! Sit boy!" InuYasha was pulled into the ground.

"What was that for?! I didn't even say anything!" He pulled himself up off the ground. The group continued to walk ahead.

"Hello! I'm talking to you!" she tapped her head, not even turning around to look at him. An he knew exactly what she meant. She could read minds. 'How could I have been so stupid?' He asked himself as he caught up to the group.

"Easy, you're naturally like that." Kagome answered again.

"Ever get the feeling you're missing something?" Miroku asked Sango.

"Yup, but only when I feel it would be nice to know…"

The group walked on for a few more minutes. They came to a large skeleton and InuYasha walked to the front of the group. InuYasha. "Totosai, you there?!" he yelled into the cave. "Hello?!"

"What? Who's there?!" The old sword smith walked out of his home and up to the group. "Oh, Master InuYasha! Is something wrong with the Tetsusaiga?"

"Ah, Master InuYasha!" Everyone turned to see Myoga

"So this is where you've been hiding!" Everyone crowded around the small flea. Kagome hid slightly behind InuYasha.

"I don't hide!" he said defensively. "Anyways, what brings you here, Master InuYasha?" InuYasha looked around for Kagome.

"Behind you," Sango tipped off.

"Oh," he turned around and steered her into sight by her shoulders. She started blushing like mad when Myoga and Totosai gasped. "We need some help."

"Wh-what happened to her?!" Myoga and Totosai were speechless as InuYasha explained what had happened in the past few days.

"So we came here to find out if we need to worry about her demon blood or not. If we do, what do we do about it?" Miroku asked them.

"hmmm…" Myoga thought hard. "It's possible that the poison negates the effects."

"Yes, but it's also possible that it doesn't, or worse. There is a chance that it could accelerate the effects." Totosai added.

"What do you mean by that?!" InuYasha became alarmed. Kagome was shocked. 'Does he really care about me? Or is something else?'

"I mean that she could be near impossible to control. How do you guys keep InuYasha under control when he DOES go demon?" Myoga asked.

"I tell him to sit." Kagome piped in.

"Ah, the enchanted beads. Where did you get them from, Master InuYasha?" Totosai was seeming to be smarter than he let on usually.

"Kikyou made them-" Kagome cut him off.

"Kaede put them on."

"Get a set of enchanted beads from her. That should help if things get out of hand." Myoga said.

"Meanwhile, Open your mouth wide for me Kagome." Totosai said, coming closer. He whipped his hands up and ripped out her two fangs. She screamed really loud.

"INUYASHA! SIT!" Kagome screamed, rubbing her jaw. They all watched as InuYasha ate dirt.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!"

"YOU NEVER TOLD ME IT HURT THAT MUCH!" She felt a pinch behind her brown eyes and fought the urge to cry.

"Don't worry, the teeth will grow back in, in half a day." Totosai said, walking into the cave.

The group sat and talked while Totosai did something to Kagome's fangs.

"What are you doing?" Kagome asked.

"Making a sword. It's called 'Shinsaiga'. InuYasha's sword is the sword of Earth. Sesshoumaru's sword is the sword of heaven. Zounga is the sword of Hell. Yours is the sword of Hearts, Minds, and Spirits." Totosai said.

"Oh…" Kagome had no idea what to say next.
