The sky, once completely clear and sunny, has taken on a dark color due to the large amount of clouds covering the entrance of sunlight. While that is happening, a strange wind begins to appear and manages to shake the hair of everyone there.
"What are you doing here, Sesshōmaru!"
"Do it!"
Without giving a second glance to Inuyasha who shouts from below, Sesshōmaru looks down at the sword embedded in the grass and then delivers a command to his mount. Proving to be a dragon, Sesshōmaru's mount opens its mouth and within seconds releases a breath of lightning that strikes the sword.
*Booom*
A powerful flash of green blinds everyone nearby, taking advantage of that moment of blindness, Sesshōmaru jumps off the dragon and lands softly at Tokijin's side.
"Sesshōmaru, move away from Tokijin. If you don't, the evil energies in that sword will control you."
"Just watch."
Extending his hand, Sesshōmaru grabs Tokijin's hilt and for an instant it seems that the energy of the sword tries to invade his body. Everything points to Tokijin trying to take control of Sesshōmaru, but Sesshōmaru simply gives him a cold stare and in a few seconds the whole situation calms down.
Slowly withdrawing the sword from the ground under everyone's surprise, Sesshōmaru brings it in front of his chest and then points Tokijin towards Inuyasha in a clear provocation.
"Come Inuyasha, let me check if this sword works."
"Damn you... Who do you think you are!"
Christopher/Asahiko pov.
"How did Sesshōmaru get his approval?"
"His approval, Miroku? Sesshōmaru doesn't need any of that, he has mastered Tokijin by brute force."
It was obvious that Sesshōmaru was not going to reduce himself to bargaining with a sword, that would be too demeaning from his superior demon point of view and if he had done so, it would have shocked everyone gathered here.
"Overpower her by force, is that even possible with the strength Tokijin has shown?"
"Kagome, between demons we understand each other... Well, that explanation doesn't work. He basically uses her energy continuously to forcibly suppress Tokijin, much unlike me who only hits Cloudy Fang when he's getting idiotic."
Yes, there are times when Cloudy Fang is just too much of a jerk and you have to beat her up a bit. Sounds weird, but put yourself in my shoes. You're sleeping peacefully and all of a sudden a voice starts to sound inside your head, the first thing you think of is hitting the daredevil who does it.
"So that's why I sometimes feel strange vibrations from the Cloudy Fang seal?"
"Saya, can you really feel that?"
"Yes, most probably you covered your fist with energy and when you hit Clouded Fang, the seal was slightly affected."
As usual Saya explains about a situation I just asked for the sake of asking, but I'm not complaining, it's always good to know a lot of things... Bullshit this is going to slip my mind in a few moments.
*Boooom*
"Inuyasha!"
"Don't yell next to me, woman!"
Covering my ears with my other tails, as usual Kagome screams through the air as she sees Inuyasha get hit. On the other hand, I notice how Steel Fang flies through the air and then embeds itself in the nearby grass, while Inuyasha is thrown off to the side.
"What's wrong Inuyasha, can't you even handle your own sword?"
"Shut up, I don't need Steel Fang to finish you off."
As usual, Inuyasha easily falls for Sesshōmaru's provocations, making him only able to shake his head at the stupidity shown by him and Oh, it was a trap.
*Bzz* *Bzzz* *Bzzz* *Bzzz*
The sound of electric shocks comes from the Tokijin's blade, while a small smile appears on Sesshōmaru's face and as if satisfied, he places his sword diagonally towards Inuyasha.
"Bzzzz!"
From Tokijin's blade shoots out a bolt of energy, it soon splits into dozens of thin lightning needles and these impact full on Inuyasha, sending him flying again.
"Asahiko..."
"Sometimes I doubt whose side you're on."
"Obviously on yours, Asahiko. Think about it if Inuyasha turns into an animal completely, where would you find someone just as amusing and on the other hand I've noticed how your eyes sparkle at the sight of Sesshōmaru"
"Consider me interested."
Obviously Saya is not doing all this for my amusement, it's obvious that she still has some attachment for her former master's son and I really don't care, I was going to go help Inuyasha anyway. At the end of our words, she heard the sigh of relief from everyone else and without giving that a thought, she jumped over to where Inuyasha was standing.
"Control yourself you idiot."
"Agrr!"
Smashing Inuyasha's face into the ground with my foot, he heard only intangible roars come out of his mouth, making it obvious that he almost transformed back and that truthfully wouldn't be fun for anyone.
"What are you doing?"
"Switching fighters, still I don't think you'd be interested, would you?"
"Fighter, do you even consider that a battle?"
"Poor Inuyasha, at least it served as a warm up, right?"
Well, it seems that Sesshōmaru is more sensible than Inuyasha, at least he doesn't go on the attack directly... Tsk, how troublesome. Sesshōmaru was completely different from the previous encounters, having a sword in his hands his whole atmosphere seems to have become more dangerous and lethal.
"That sword."
"Oh, you know Clouded Fang~"
"Where did you get it from?"
Even when he tries to ask, Sesshōmaru's words are literally a command. Noticing this specific fact, I start to annoy him with my words.
"What a mystery, maybe if you defeat me I'll tell you."
"I simply need to beat you until you talk, sounds perfect to me."
Hey, make up your mind between talking coldly and smiling, now I feel like the saner of the two, not that it matters. Shaking my head at his confident words, I took the hilt of Clouded Fang and held it in front of me with both hands.
"Come!"
"Heh."
Mocking my stupid attempt to lure him, Sesshōmaru focuses his eyes on my person and treads lightly on the ground, reducing our distance to merely a few meters. Of course I had been the one to lure him, but I wasn't going to remain defensive and following those thoughts, I gave a downward slash with Clouded Fang.
*Booom*
The clash between Tokijin and Clouded Fang caused the surrounding air to shoot out, but quickly noticed that Sesshōmaru had parried my slash with the flat part of his sword and let the force of my slash spread throughout his blade thus reducing its power.
Taking advantage of the moment when Clouded Fang's cut runs out of power, Sesshōmaru moves Tokijin diagonally, causing my sword to slide to the ground and noticing my bad situation, he kicks me in the chest.
"What's wrong, it was just pure words."
"Tsk."
Stopping my continued walking away by digging my feet into the ground, I hear Sesshōmaru's cold words and can only click my tongue at such a bad first confrontation.
