Clash of the Thunder Blades! Raigekijin vs Tessaiga [Page 8/8]





Hiten pushes our boy back, the very sheath cracking...
and thinks to himself:
I've won!






But...
Tessaiga
speeds forward; called by the sheath as
Myouga observes.
Inuyasha catches it,




slicing through Raigekijin and Hiten.:
I lost. To a lowly hanyou,
I have...


fades away, imbued in light.




The shards drop to the ground.
Myouga, danger evaded, speaks:
Inuyasha-sama,
the Shikon shards.
Damn it...
if I defeated Hiten a little sooner...


An ethereal light glows behind the fallen hanyou, and a voice echoes:
Inuyasha?
He gasps, and turns:



Ka-Kagome!


She speaks in echoes,:
Inuyasha, thank you for all your help.
Shippou also:
I'm happy to have avenged my father's death, also.
Myouga bounces up:
Ooh!
Those must be their souls, 
here to say their final farewells!
Inuyasha:
What?!



Inuyasha runs forward:
Wa-wait! Don't go!!







Kagome!! Eh?
Kagome:
Um, yes?
Him:
You're alive?
Her:
Don't go.. where?
Shippou watches his father's fur fade away, and smiles:
Father... you protected us with fox fire..




Myouga:
I knew it, it was definitely fox fire from the fur.
Ears Pup:
So they weren't the ghosts, you jerk?
Myouga mumbles off.

Kagome:
Um,...
Oops.



Inuyasha throws her arm down:
Keh!
You two, don't confuse me like that!
If you're gonna die then die, if you're not then don't!  Do it right!
Kagome blinks twice, confused with the hanyou's quite coherent words.



We fade to a later time, in a sunny place,
and Kagome asks:
Inuyasha? What's wrong?
What are you so mad about?
Myouga answers:
Hmm..He's embarrassed about his emotional outburst.
Inuyasha-sama's still too young.




Inuyasha turns round with a threatening fist,
scaring Myouga into Kagome's bike basket. Inuyasha speaks:
Hey, Shippou!
Go away already!

Shippou:
What?!
You have a problem with me tagging along?!




Kagome:
What's the big deal, Inuyasha? Shippou-chan's all by himself now.
Shippou:
Right right! I may not look it, but I'm still a weak child.
Bleach Pup:
Keh! You're only a kid when you want to be!
So, Shippou!
When are you leaving?
We slowly pan off as the story ends,



and Shippou says:
Kagome, he's being mean!
Kagome:
Inuyasha, cut it out!
Bleach Pup:
Feh!
Kagome:
Osuwari!
We hear him slamming down with an unforgiving sit.
Myouga:
He's still too young.
Looh!
