**I do not own InuYasha or anything else from the InuYasha story**

~*Master Sword-smith*~

Toga glared ever so slightly at the frail looking old man before him. He looked positively senile as his overly large eyes wandered, looking everywhere but at the InuYokai before him. Toga found the demon to be more than a little obnoxious.

"This..." Toga waved a hand at the old man. "Is the best you could find?" He demanded of his men with a raised eyebrow.

"The best that you will ever find young man!" he snorted indignantly.

Toga eyed the demon with suspicion. He certainly seemed sure of himself so the lord of the west cut right to it. "I require a sword of immense power, one that can kill an army of un dead."

The old man sniggered and coughed.

Toga glared at the offending being before him.

"Un dead means not alive. Which means, young man, that being killed is really not a possibility."

For the fifth time since beginning a conversation with him Toga wanted to wring his neck.

With a substantial amount of control he asked "Then WHAT, master smith, would you recommend?"

"The un dead all have a the same issue, that issue being that their soul is locked in a dead body. Which makes the solution easy!" he grinned widely.

Toga cracked his claws in annoyance "Speak plainly old man or I will be sending your soul to the underworld!"

"That's right my boy!" The smith stood, apparently unaware that Toga was on the verge of taking his life. "Now open wide and lets get to it!"

"What in the seven hell's are you ranting about!" Toga yelled at him.

"I'll be needing a fang of course!" The smith said coming closer with a pair of pliers in hand. "A fang from one as powerful as you will be more than adequate for the task."

Toga grabbed the pliers from his old hands and grabbed his neck with a clawed hand. "I will not give you a fang until you tell me, in plain words, what kind of sword you will give me!"

The old smith giggled like a mad man and sighed "A Fang of life, for only life can banish death."
