"Ahhh!!!"
*Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom*.
Shouting into the air as if it will give him more power, Inuyasha waves Steel Fang in an attempt to slash Sesshōmaru's new arm, though his slash is easily parried thanks to the scales covering the arm.
"You could use a log better than a sword."
Giving him a verbal jab in the middle of the confrontation, he quickly follows up with a punch to Inuyasha's right cheek with his normal arm, before kicking him in the chest creating distance between him and Inuyasha within moments.
"Ha, ha, You filthy bastard, do you think switching arms again will do any good?"
"Before long you'll understand that this arm is perfect for holding Steel Fang."
Finishing talking to Inuyasha and raising his arm in the air, Sesshōmaru begins to flex his dragon arm as if demonstrating its quality.
"It's a dragon arm, it can be considered the strongest arm than any normal monster's. What does he plan to do with that arm?"
"From what I've heard, he plans to use that arm to be able to handle Steel Fang, can you stop doing that!"
Asahiko replies to Sango, although it might be more accurate to say that she gave her opinion, since she was talking to Kagome. On the other hand, after talking to her, Asahiko turns around, before yelling at Shippo who moves his hand across Asahiko's body, if it was an illusion.
"If you left an illusion here acting as a distraction, does that mean you're going to interfere in that fight?"
"Interfering? No, no. I'm just going to hit, steal, and run away."
Wagging her index finger sideways in a "No, no" Asahiko tells her master plan at the same time Kagome covers Shippo's ears as if Asahiko is a bad influence.
"I don't care if it's a dragon or not, but have you seen the damage your arm took when it tried to hold the sword?"
"Hahaha, how cunning Steel Fang is, it rejects anyone who wants to control it, even a dragon arm is probably insufficient... But why doesn't that weapon show the cutting wind to the only one who can use it! Steel Fang, show me that radiance, your true power!"
Letting out a restrained laugh, Sesshōmaru starts talking to Steel Fang while completely ignoring Inuyasha, who is just getting up from the ground and taking an attacking stance again.
"Hum, hum, even Sesshōmaru can see the cutting wind."
"What is the cutting wind?"
"It's a crucial step in managing to utilize all the power Steel Fang holds, though it's something impossible to teach... it's all about understanding or talent."
Burying the words that were about to come out of Kagome's mouth, Totosai makes it clear that in this matter there is nothing he can do to help Inuyasha.
*Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom*
Shockwaves spread from the encounter between Steel Fang and Dragon Arm, neither was superior to the other, it was almost as if they were knowingly maintaining a balance. This hypothesis falls apart when taking a closer look at Inuyasha who seems to be giving it his all, instead Sesshōmaru seems to be calmer and under control proving that he is the one in control of the confrontation.
"Heh, what's wrong Sesshōmaru. is your power just this!"
Slashing diagonally in front of himself, Inuyasha taunts Sesshōmaru's continuous but weak attacks, then moving to attack with erratic and brute force movements, though they seemed to have a technique behind it or maybe it was just talent and instinct that moved his sword.
Sesshōmaru was slowly starting to get at a disadvantage as he was unable to handle the pace of combat, his movements were short to medium range and having the rhythm was an imperative necessity if he wanted to make the most of his abilities. Squinting his eyes as if he had made a decision, Sesshōmaru guides his dragon hand towards the object resting under his left arm and brandishes it with full force towards Inuyasha's incoming slash.
*Booooooom!!!*
The clash between Steel Fang and Asahiko's tail that Sesshōmaru was wielding was quick but brutal, the force generated by this clash was many times greater than the previous clashes, causing the ground they are standing on to sink and everything within a distance of 20 meters around to be blown into the air easily.
"You know... those things are not done."
Without Sesshōmaru being able to enjoy his slight victory over Inuyasha, though he is unlikely to consider that important, Asahiko appears at his side giving a vertical slash with a sword made of orange flames, which Sesshōmaru dodges to the right. But Asahiko's attack doesn't end there and to demonstrate that, multiple golden tails appear in the vicinity in an attempt to stab Sesshōmaru, though he retreats backwards to generate distance, before tilting his upper body downwards thus avoiding the beam of white flames Asahiko shoots towards him.
*Booooom*
In the forest behind Sesshōmaru a straight line about 50 meters long is created due to Asahiko's attack, all the trees directly hit were incinerated and those on the sides were uprooted, before flying through the sky covered in flames, though these don't seem to burn anything they touch, causing Inuyasha's group to calm down.
"This is my fight, get out of here Asahiko!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Well... No."
"Fight Inuyasha? Hitting only you is too easy, so if he wants to help you then let him help you!"
Shouting towards Asahiko with his sword held high as if threatening him, Inuyasha warns him to stay out of the way, though Asahiko replies in his usual amused voice, before withdrawing six tails from his back and creating a new flame sword in his hand giving a clear refusal.
On the other hand, Sesshōmaru watches this whole exchange with absolute indifference, but his guard is higher than ever before a nd he analyzes the whole situation calmly from the place where he stands.
