The heat in this area was brutal, added to the incessant smoke rising into the sky and the molten lava, makes it clear that this place is a volcano.
On top of that volcano, walking on the now dry molten lava, is Asahiko and behind him is Inuyasha.
The situation is that Inuyasha is not walking, but is being held back by the ground, thanks to a hand holding him by his left foot.
"That 's enough!"
Shouting with surprising strength, Inuyasha makes a superhuman move and lunges at Asahiko, but Asahiko easily dodges it by releasing his foot.
"Finally, I had already thought about giving you a lava bath or something. Well, now that you're more energetic let's go find that ox."
"Cow!"
"Inuyasha, do you want me to hit you?"
"You can try!"
Holding a staring match for a few moments, Asahiko clicks her tongue and Inuyasha chuckles lightly, before they both start to look at the surroundings.
It was for a few minutes that they kept running back and forth, jumping towards the sky and making strange noises with their mouths, all to see the ox or lure it in.
"It 's not working, Inuyasha go get Totosai."
"Because I have to go! It's your sword, go yourself!"
Sitting down with rather little to no elegance, Asahiko seems to accept Inuyasha's words, but still remains seated.
"If you want I'll go, but you'll miss the chance to beat him. You don't think it'll be an easy battle against that dragon, don't you want an early revenge?"
"Tsk, you just don't want to do it."
"But you don't deny that it's a good opportunity, we both know that Totosai is going to disappear after this."
"Fine... I'll be right back."
Waving her right hand in a carefree manner, Asahiko stares at Inuyasha's back and then picks up her fan.
For a few seconds all was quiet, until by pure chance Asahiko lifts his head and notices a spot above him.
It was the ox, who had been flying around. Something clicked inside Asahiko, causing a crooked smile to grow on his face and he quickly stood up.
"First a plant and now a cow... Hahahaha... Today it eats meat."
Perhaps the previous defeat was a worse blow than expected, making now watching the cow on him feel like a challenge. Pretty crazy, though maybe that's the wounded demonic pride talking.
...Some time later…
Inuyasha didn't take long to go looking for Totosai, he was literally a few minutes away and that's if he was a normal human.
"Stop it, stop it you crazy kid! I already called Toto, so stop!"
"Hold still old man."
Tugging hard on Totosai's ponytail, he readies his fist and seeing that he doesn't listen to him, Inuyasha punches directly at Totosai's skull.
"Toto...Totooo!"
"Ahh, you're too loud. Asahiko, stop it already!"
Letting go of Totosai due to the fact that he can't stand his shouting anymore, Inuyasha turns his face skyward and fixes his gaze on Asahiko, who is waving his fan towards Toto.
It wasn't only his fan that was dangerous, for with each swing of it, dozens of crescent-shaped blades hurled themselves towards the poor ox.
"Just two more tries! Moon shape:Crescent!"
"Noooo, Totoooo!"
Shouting in an exaggerated manner, seeing Asahiko shoot a few dozen crescents towards Toto again, Totosai jumps on top of Inuyasha and grabs his waist tightly.
Inuyasha's face contorts in pure disgust, even more so when he notices how Totosai wipes his tears on his clothes and also his snot.
"Get out of here, you disgusting old man!"
Kicking Totosai aside, he tries to quickly clean his clothes, but Inuyasha notices how Totosai tries to jump on him again and dodges him.
"Totoooo!"
"That's enough, stop following me... Ahh, stay away."
Incredibly, Totosai managed to make Inuyasha run, not with force, but with a face full of snot and tears.
...Christopher/Asahiko pov....
"You disappoint me Inuyasha, you've been beaten by an old man."
Standing side by side with Inuyasha, we look over and watch as Totosai slowly approaches with the ox named Toto.
"Disappointment, Asahiko... Look at him and tell me again!"
"What is it... Haaa, I want to erase that memory from my eyes."
Rubbing my eyes with my hands in a crude attempt to erase what I've had to see, he heard Inuyasha's laughter from the right and threw a punch towards him.
"Hahaha, suffer, suffer what I've had to suffer!"
"I thought we were friends, we even shared Kikyo!"
Play it on me Inuyasha, you're a hundred years too late. Now taste the pain that... What the hell, did he just try to cut me with his sword?
"Let me help you Asahiko, without a head you won't remember any of this."
"No, no thanks. I prefer to keep my head... Not like you, you always lose it when I name Kikyo~"
A silence formed between the two of us, I even thought I heard Inuyasha's brain cells connect and after a few seconds, he finally got it.
*Boom*
As expected, upon understanding my words, his first action was to pull out the heavy Steel Fang and wave it towards my face.
"Come here, fight head on coward!"
"Hahaha, yes you can grab me I think!"
Inuyasha's provocation was easily ignored, he needs to get better at that provocation thing since he seems to really like it.
Wait...
"Hey, why are you pulling out your sword?"
"First a plant, then an ox and now a dog. Hahahaha, hahahaha. over my dead body!"
Screaming out of pure anger totally justified, for nothing I've only just realized that Inuyasha is the perfect anti-stress bag, making me now want to use him.
My justifications aside, followed by me screaming, a Clouded Fang attack shoots out.
"You think I'm afraid. cutting wind!"
*Boooom!*
