Chapter seven:
"Yo Totosia. You here?" Inuyasha called out as he drew near to Totosia's home. "Aw, Inuyasha my boy, what brings you here?" Totosia asked as Inuyasha came into his home. "I need to know, can you remove the Tetsiaga's barrier?" Inuyasha didn't trust Annika not to kill his family. "Yes, but why?" Totosia was intrigued. "Annika kidnapped Kagome and my daughter." Inuyasha dropped his head, ashamed that he didn't do a better job of protecting his family.
"You're actually going to give her the Tetsiaga?" Totosia was surprised he would give up the Tetsiaga. "Yes." Inuyasha answered without a moment's hesitation.
"Um, Miss?" Kagome wasn't sure how to approach the demoness. "I'm sorry." Asuka said raising her head. "For what?" Kagome was taken back by the women's apology. "For my sister's kidnapping you and your daughter." Asuka continued her apology. "What's your name?" Kagome asked; trying to changed the subject. "Asuka." She answered. "I heard Inuyasha say something about you in his sleep."
"Inuyasha will come for you." Asuka announced. "How do you know Inuyasha?" Kagome was curios as to how this deomess knew Inuyasha. "He's my younger brother." She smiled a tearful smile. "Now that you mention it I can see the resemblance." Asuka and Kagome exchanged smiles as Kira stirred in her sleep.
"Hey, are you almost finished Totosia?" Inuyasha was growing impatient. "This will take some time Inuyasha. Why must you be so impatient?" Totosia asked, annoyed. "You know as well as I do, Annika isn't exactly patient, and Killing Kira and Kagome wouldn't mean a damn thing to her." Inuyasha barked. "Well, you have to be patient." Totosia said, continuing his work.
"Say, is Sesshomaru in on this?" Totosia was surprised that Inuyasha hadn't said anything about him. "No, surprisingly." Inuyasha said, blowing his bangs out of his face. "Aw. Here you go, I have removed the barrier." Totosia said, handing the Tetsiaga to Inuyasha. "But Inuyasha, what if she uses the Tetsiaga to strike you down?" Totosia asked, concerned.
"What ever happens, happens. If sacrificing myself is the only way to save my family, then that's what I'll do." Inuyasha wasn't concerned about being killed, and was adamant about giving Annika the sword. "Inuyasha?" Totisia said as Inuyasha began to leave. "Yeah." Inuyasha turned to look at Totosia, expecting him to try to get him to stay.
"Your Father would be proud." Totosia said with a sigh. Inuyasha smiled slightly, and set off towards his sister's palace.
"The nerve of that half-breed, making me wait for a sword that is rightfully mine." Annika growled to herself, sitting at her thrown in the mid afternoon sun. "And where is Asuka?" Things that normally wouldn't have bothered her were making her furious. "She's with the wench and her daughter." Kasuga answered, lounging under a near by tree.
Annika continued to curse Inuyasha under her breathe. "Patience is a virtue Sister." Kasuga laughed. Annika shot her a glare, but Kasuga was in too good of a mood to mind. The thought of Inuyasha losing the Tetsiaga made her over joyed. "Inuyasha is close by." Kasuga said with a smirk, after picking up his sent. Even Annika's mood lightened.
"Sister, what are we going to do with Asuka, once we have the Tetsiaga?" Kasuga asked, propping up on one arm. "We're going to kill her of course." Annika said, very nonchalantly. Kasuga nodded her agreements with an evil smirk. "So are we going to kill Inuyasha as well?" Kasuga said, rolling onto her stomach with an overly excited look on her face.
"No. I've got a much better idea." Annika was smiling. Kasuga shrugged, disappointed, before rolling to her back.
Inuyasha walked hastily through the forest, he was close to the palace Annika had been left by their Father. They had all inherited something when he had died. Inuyasha let out a relieved sigh when he could finally see Annika's palace.
"Inuyasha's near by." Asuka said running her hand through Kira's hair. "My Dad's almost here!" Kira asked happily. "Well, she seems to like her Father." Asuka giggled at the pup sitting in her laps excitement. "Oh goodness yes, I practically have to pry her from his side." Kagome said, giggling to herself.
"Outa my way!" Inuyasha snarled knocking the Palace guards of their feet, and rushing inside. "Aw, Inuyasha, how nice of you to join us." Annika smiled a devious smile. "Did you have the barrier of the Tetsiaga removed?" Annika got to the point. "Yes." Inuyasha was eager to get Kira and Kagome out of here. "Smart boy." Annika responded leaving her pedestal.
Inuyasha tossed her the Tetsiaga. She hesitantly drew the Tesiaga, she smiled as it transformed in her hands. "Daddy!" Kira exclaimed happily. She launched herself into Inuyasha's arm's. Inuyasha, and his sister all turned their heads, Sesshomaru entered the Palace. "Oh Sesshomaru, I was not expecting to have your company." Annika said sarcastically. Sesshomaru didn't answer but his glare intensified.
"Have you come to stop me from taking the Tetsiaga from the half breed?" Annika inquired. "No. I have come to ensure the safe return of the child." Sesshomaru said. Everyone was taken back by Sesshomaru. Him of all people here to protect the child of Inuyasha? It was more than a little surprising. Asuka stood near her sister's, her head was drooped in shame.
Annika gave Kasuga a nod, and before anyone had time to react, Kasuga tore her poison claw's into Asuka. She dropped to er knee's, and then fell flat on the grass. Inuyasha dropped to the floor, digging his claws into the grass. "You bitch!" Inuyasha's voice had changed, and everyone's attention snapped to Inuyasha. He stood slowly and raised his heard. His demon blood had awakened.
