Summary Inuyasha faces death head on
Inuyasha stood frozen. He felt like an idiot. Totosai promised to fix his sword. Now he could not even lift it. Sesshoumaru with his new sword swept it aside as if the great Tessaiga was a piece of kindling.
It took all his strength merely to block Sesshoumaru’s blade. If he picked it up again, he would surely die. Eventually Sesshoumaru would get passed his guard. Then it would be all over. Sesshoumaru would kill him in an instant.
In his last three fights Sesshoumaru did not have a sword. Tessaiga had taken his arm in the first fight. He had survived by taking back Tessaiga in the second fight. In the third fight he had found the Windscar just in time.
No wonder Sesshoumaru went out and found himself a sword. A very powerful sword that would have killed him if the possessed sword smith had not been killed by his own sword.
He would not be so lucky with Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru was already the master of the sword.
He had seen Sesshoumaru handle Tessaiga with practiced ease. He had no doubt that Sesshoumaru knew exactly what his new sword was capable of
He looked to his friends. If they made any move to intervene, Sesshoumaru would kill them. Totosai could stop him, but he just stood there with his hands folded. Whatever happened do or die it was up to him.
One way or another this was going to end and it was going to end now. He could not be continually looking over his shoulder for Sesshoumaru.
Inuyasha hated not having Tessaiga, but at the moment it was worse than useless to him. His claws might not be able to harm Sesshoumaru. At the moment they were all he had to defend himself.
He roused himself. Sesshoumaru was going to kill him at the very least, but if he sat here doing nothing he would die anyway. Better to go down fighting.
What the worst t Sesshoumaru could do to him? Kill him Better to die on his feet than simply sitting around waiting for death.
He knew his chances were not good. Sesshoumaru would probably kill him before he reached him.. It wasn’t that he was not afraid. He was terrified
Being afraid and knowing he was about to die never stopped him before. It was his elan. Part of who he was For so many years, his bravado had allowed him to survive. It was too late to change who he was now. He charged. at his brother. Claws ready Once more into the breach
