The night had once again reigned supreme, at its center and as if it were the jewel in the crown, stands an imposing moon. The light radiating from it paints the surface of the earthly world in a beautiful silver color.
Beneath that sky and at a great distance from Inuyasha's group, lies a wet pond. It was a place bathed in moonlight due to the fact that there is no tree nearby, the stagnant water reaches above the height of the foot and from that water, dead branches rise up and give a mysterious aura to the place.
"Actually I was also unaware that that sword was a memento of your lord father, will it be possible to know what kind of supernatural powers that weapon holds?"
Speaking quietly but with clear servitude, the imp named Jaken walks in front of Sesshōmaru as if they had a path in mind.
"Are you curious, Jaken?
"Knowing that this is the second sword created with your father's fang, I'm dying to know what kind of connection they have, since the two swords seem to be sisters. Ahh! I didn't mean it because you and Inuyasha are brothers, on the contrary I've always wondered why you should accept that fool as your brother, though on second thought it's no serious thing of course if it ruins your reputation as"
Letting out a few words unconsciously, Jaken realizes his mistake and tries to fix it through more words that only make him get more and more entangled, until it strains the patience of Sesshōmaru who briefly raises his voice.
"Jaken!"
"Wh, wh, what!"
Stuttering his words, Jaken turns around, only to watch in slow motion as Sesshōmaru unsheathes Sacred Fang with extreme skill and followed by that cuts him from his left shoulder to his right waist, letting Jaken let out a few last words before his body falls dry on the ground.
"Loved... Sesshōmaru."
Looking at Jaken who doesn't get up after a few seconds, Sesshōmaru lets out a slightly amused voice before addressing him.
"What are you doing? Get up."
"Heh, hum, you didn't hurt me, because I saw how you cut me with your sword?"
Palpating his body which is in perfect condition and even his clothes which are unaffected, Jaken quickly says what comes to his mind.
"It's clear to you now, Sacred Fang is a sword you can't kill with."
"Hui, I didn't know that."
Sesshōmaru guards Sacred Fang like an expert, while Jaken nods his head as if this information will now be clear to him. On the other side and unbeknownst to these two, the water in front of them begins to bubble as a bluish glow covers the vicinity, before a dragon yokai is revealed.
It was elongated almost like a snake, its scales were a dark green color on the outside and on the chest they have a lighter color, four strong limbs with three claws on each limb let the incredible power contained within it be seen and the two horns atop its head reflect the moonlight.
"Ahhh, what's that!"
Ignoring the shout of Jaken who runs to behind some trees, Sesshōmaru stands still looking at the creature as if thinking something. This stalemate is ended when the dragon sweeps its tail in Sesshōmaru's direction, though he jumps at a much faster speed until he reaches in front of the beast's face. Without stopping his actions, he again materializes the whip he used against Inuyasha, before giving three slashes towards the dragon and with that ends the battle immediately.
"We've seized another arm, it wouldn't hurt to go after Steel Fang again."
Finishing ripping off the dead dragon's arm, Sesshōmaru turns around as his hair swings behind him and begins to walk away from the place.
Elsewhere...
Christopher/Asahiko pov.
"Cut the damn tail!"
"This is getting weird."
"If you can't do it, give me Steel Fang and I'll do it."
"I'm not giving you my sword, old man!!!"
Leaving my tail resting against a smooth stone that was previously cut by my sword, I shouted towards Inuyasha who keeps Steel Fang as his giant form, though he is hesitating to comply with what I have asked him to do. On the other hand, jumping from the side, Totosai extends his hand towards Inuyasha with a serious face as if this was something sacred.
"By all that's holy, can you cut the tail off for fuck's sake!"
"You asked for it!"
Responding to my scream with another of even greater intensity, I even thought I saw birds take flight at the sudden noise, Inuyasha raises Steel Fang above his head and cuts vertically splitting the rock with my tail included.
"¡¡¡¡Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
He screamed at the top of his lungs, though it didn't hurt at all. We've already talked about my tails not being made of flesh and bone, but of pure energy or something like that... That doesn't stop me from seeing it being sliced off, the shock makes me scream like a wounded man.
"Stop exaggerating and stop the energy leakage, otherwise all this will be for nothing."
Listening to Totosai's words, I calm my breathing, before looking towards Inuyasha who is writhing on the ground clutching his ears and starting walking towards my tail from which golden particles emerge nearby.
"Easy dear, daddy is, Ahg what the hell!"
Stopping the leakage of energy into the surroundings and stroking my tail with extreme care. I am pushed to the side before I finish my words, only to have Totosai wrap a cloth pulled out of nowhere around my tail and place it under his arm.
"Well, we've completed this, now you can go... Oh, call Saya so we can talk about certain matters."
"I'm going to sleep. Now the night watch is your problem."
Watching Totosai who seems to have gone into a trance, where his usual cowardice is nowhere to be found and Inuyasha who was stroking his ears as he walks away through the forest without looking back. I place my hand on the hilt of Clouded Fang, before releasing Saya who is half asleep.
"Saya, ha... I'm leaving, you guys take care of all this."
