Disclaimer: I own nothing of Rumiko Takahashi's.
Inutaisho soon returned to Totosai, and met him in the cave. Totosai stood at a stone table, with two swords, one looking quite rusty.
"Hello master, your order is ready."
Inutaisho took up the rusty sword and examined it. Suddenly it transformed into a giant fang.
"That is Tessaiga, it can slay one hundred demons in own swipe, it also has the attack Kaze no Kizu."
"And this one?" He pointed at the other sword.
"That is Tensaiga; it can resurrect the dead but only once." Inutaisho looked at him confused.
"What do you mean?"
"It reveals the beings of the afterlife so that you can slay them, but I am afraid that it can be only used once on each person."
"Only once?"
"I am afraid so."
Inutaisho pondered this; he hoped he would never have to use it on Izayoi.
"I will take them out to test them." He turned to leave the cave.
"Master if you will, why did you want me to do this? Who do you want to protect?"
"Izayoi."
"Ah, a girl I suppose. So this means that your relationship with Sesshomaru's mother is officially over?" Inutaisho looked over his shoulder.
"That was over hundreds of years ago, we will speak of it no more."
Inutaisho left a very confused Totosai alone in his cave.
Oooooooooo
Inutaisho flew through the sky looking for his destination, Tessaiga and Tensaiga tucked into his sash. Soon he found it, a hoard of demons coming his way, ready for the attack. Inutaisho drew Tessaiga and swung it. He watched as the demons disappeared into the light, screaming as they died. Inutaisho looked down at his new sword. No demon could defy him now; he would use it to protect her.
Soon he was flying towards Setsuna. He could see his beloved walking on the porch, he could not see her face, but he knew it was her. Suddenly another person appeared beside her, it was a man, he was walking very close. Inutaisho wondered why.
Oooooooooo
The sun was almost down in the west, Izayoi sat in her sewing room, she had convinced Takemaru to let her stay there for a while before bed. None of her thoughts consisted of Takemaru, only of her beloved Inutaisho. Suddenly she heard the screen door being opened, she thought it was Takemaru at first, but she was relieved to see Inutaisho standing there. He entered the room and closed the door behind him.
"Inutaisho!" She stood up and ran to him. He took her hands in his and peered lovingly into her eyes.
"Izayoi, how do you feel?"
"I feel fine, it doesn't hurt anymore." Inutaisho placed his hand on her shoulder and felt that the wound had almost healed.
"Come, sit with me!" Izayoi took him to her pallet, they sat facing each other. Izayoi suddenly saw the two swords strapped to Inutaisho's waist, she pointed to them.
"What are those?" Inutaisho drew Tessaiga, and Izayoi gasped surprised. He lay the large sword down in front of Izayoi. Izayoi looked at the sword, and was amazed at how big it was, it looked like a fang with a tuff of fur on the handle.
"It is beautiful."
"This one is Tensaiga; I have yet to test it." He motioned to the other sword.
"Izayoi, I made these swords to make myself stronger, I made them for you." Izayoi was stunned but flattered. Inutaisho put Tessaiga back into its sheath.
"Izayoi I swear to protect you, at all costs." She was silent.
"Izayoi, you told me you were married. Are you happy in your marriage?" Izayoi lowered her head.
"No, I am a prisoner in this marriage. It was arranged by my father."
"I saw him with you Izayoi, I wasn't sure if you loved him."
"I could never love him!" Izayoi yelled as tears started streaming down her face.
"Izayoi, I cannot stand the thought of him touching you, when it should be I who—" He stopped, Izayoi looked up into his eyes. Suddenly he got up and began to leave.
"I have said too much." Izayoi grabbed his fur.
"No, please don't go." He stopped as Izayoi held on to him.
"Izayoi if I was to take you, I would be risking the life you have now."
"I don't want the life I have now! I want a life with you!" Izayoi yelled as the tears left her eyes. "Since I got married to this man, I have been miserable. Until you came along, now I have something to look forward to every night, someone to love." Inutaisho turned around to face her. He brushed her hair back with his claws.
"Take me Inutaisho! I don't care what they will say! I love you."
"So you have made your decision?" Izayoi thought about this, she wanted him, there was no doubt, but a warning bell rung in her head, she ignored it.
"Yes." Inutaisho put his hands on her shoulders and lifted her onto her feet, then he hugged her.
"Izayoi, if this is what you truly wish, then so be it." But suddenly they hear footsteps, Inutaisho began to leave.
"I must go now, I will come for you later Izayoi." She watched as he opened another door and disappeared. Izayoi turned to see Kameko enter the other door. Suddenly Kameko looked around suspiciously.
"He has been here hasn't he Izayoi?" Izayoi could not lie to her, she nodded her head.
