Kagome wonders if she heard it right. Did this rude fellow just say he'll protect her?! He is still rude, but somehow different from Sesshoumaru.     Inuyasha: Darn it, guess it's all or nothing. It pulses!   I hear it! Tessaiga's pulse? It's different...very different from before. Jaken: Sesshoumaru-sama! Just chew out that worthless hanyou Inuyasha! BWAMP! Right off his thick fleshy head! Kagome!: We didn't lose yet! She launches more skulls. Go for it, Inuyasha! Sessh-Fluff launches himself [What a rascal! ^-^] to Inuyasha! Our boy jumps up too. Up along Sessh's paw! Sessh-Fluff falls, his left arm severed. Inuyasha: Shape of...a fang? He swings Tessaiga.     Hehe...a fang, huh? Father left me quite a something.   But still, you know, Sesshoumaru... Though both of us fight for Father's Gift, compared to his body, we are still so tiny. Do you understand?! We still fight on Father's stomach, inside his body! We can't compare to Father yet - don't you see? What teeth! I have no memory of Father pampering me or anything, but since his sword was hidden in my right eye, I won't give it up to anybody! Even if it's the almighty brother of mine! Sessh-Fluff speeds forward!   Our swordsman shoves his sword, sending Sessh-Fwuff o'er the cliff. Jaken: Sesshoumaru-sama! The falling Sessh-Fluff curls up into a ball of light, and speeds off. Jaken runs off. Kagome: Inuyasha! Inuyasha, are you alright?
