Inuyasha:The third sword

The thick clouds that once covered the entire area near the volcano are at this very moment slightly cleared. 

Obviously it was not due to a natural act, but are the effects of Asahiko's previous attacks. Yes, with those he tried to cut Toto to pieces. 

"Come here old man, don't run!"

*Boom*

Along with the huge explosion that sends what is molten rock, dust and drops of lava skyward, you manage to make out an old man running with all his soul or so it seems. 

Behind the one who is obviously the victim in this situation, there is a young man with blond hair and a face darkened by negative emotions, who is clearly the attacker. 

"How can I not run if you want to kill me!"

"Kill you... How can I..."

Ignoring the luck of the old man who manages to dodge another of his blows, Asahiko stops on a piece of molten rock floating above the lava and starts to speak, though he is stopped. 

"How is Totosai going to kill you, if he... Hahaha... Yes he... He doesn't have one. Ahh, you idiot, what did you just throw me with!"

Clutching his face, the young man with long white hair and red clothes, opens his teary eyes so he can observe what was thrown at him. 

It was a black-colored hilt, while from the end hang two golden-colored strips. Yes, what had been thrown at Inuyasha was Asahiko's new "Sword".

"You have some problem, try to finish your words again."

The challenge was palpable in Asahiko's words, while his gaze conveys something such as "Say it if you dare." The situation is that Inuyasha is not one to flinch, impulsive one might even say. 

"No sword!"

"Aye, without Kikyo!"

A clash of looks was all that was enough after those words, making both of them jump towards each other... The only bad thing is that poor Totosai is in the way. 

...Christopher/Asahiko pov...

"Let's see if I got it right, the sword changes depending on who is looking at it and now it is also confirmed depending on who is wielding it, since you guys can see it too."

Raising the... the... the... Damn, how did I end up with a hilt. This guy is not to be trusted, Steel Fang seals Inuyasha's powers, Sacred Fang is nothing more than a bread slicing knife and mine now is... is... is... a hilt!!!.

Let's breathe slowly, inhale...exhale...inhale...exhale...exhale. No, this doesn't seem to be working at all. 

"Asahiko, stop staring at Totosai like that. While you Totosai, come closer and explain what's going on... You might as well come closer to Inuyasha."

"Tsk, clear preference Saya. Anyway, I start talking Totosai."

"Ye, ye, Yes."

For all that's holy, try to hide your obvious preference at least, Saya. Not that I care much though, but maybe it's just because seeing the black eye Totosai now has lifted my spirits. 

"Gizen-teki, no, maybe now I should change the name, since he seems to keep that form... Umm... Maybe Ha nashi? Or Jundo?"

"Stop beating around the bush, Totosai!"

"But it's important, the name is the basis of everything and."

"Right, right. By the authority given by me, towards me and many more of me... I name you Illusory Fang!"

Before I can feel satisfied with my genius, said this name teams up with Clouded Fang and also references to my illusions as a fox, I notice Totosai's attempt to approach me.

I tried, as midway he was grabbed by one of my tails, then wrapped up and another started slapping him on both cheeks. 

"At, H, Help Inuyasha."

"Better not, you got in there and you better get out of there alone."

"Wow, someone has really learned his lesson."

"You want to fight, hairball!"

Without even being able to consider the option, Saya quickly steps in the way and asks Totosai the million dollar question. 

"Why did you do that, Totosai?"

"You wouldn't understand, first Sacred Fang... then Clouded Fang and now Illusory Fang... Why don't they understand the genius of other names!"

Trauma from the past... Probably, since Inu no Taisho had done the same thing twice before. First with Sepultura to Sacred Fang and then Souga to Clouded Fang. 

"Are you dumb? It's truly simple, the name sounds great and shouting it on the battlefield leaves a good taste in your mouth."

"Asahiko is right. Those names are not awesome at all, while Steel Fang... Umm... Umm."

I couldn't resist, so I did what I had to do, which was to stand up and shake Inuyasha's hand from one brother to the other. 

"I didn't know you had such good tastes Inuyasha, now I'm seriously considering whether to leave my hair white permanently."

"I only have one brother, Asahiko... But I never said who he is."

There are moments in life where you enter the same frequency as another person, making words mere ornaments... This is one of those moments. 

"Inuyasha..."

"Asahiko..."

"Ahem, ahem."

Totosai's not-so-disguised cough, brings us out of our "Brotherhood" moment, managing to get our attention. 

"How was I going to say, before all this pa... Well, well... He spoke already. Illusory Fang, it was created as a support weapon considering your difficulties."

"Which would be?"

"Yourself, ai, Ai, I already explained. You have too much power, which makes it difficult to control, strangely enough... Normally demons don't go through such problems."

Rolling my eyes at those damn words, come on I've heard them a few times already and I've said them to myself a few times too... Yeah, I'm sick of it. 

"Yeah, yeah... What can I do, I'm special. Now keep talking."

"During its creation I always had that in mind, with Clouded Fang you no longer need brute strength, but control... But now I don't know."

Giving him the reason at first, he finally heard his last words, causing me to stare at him. 

"What don't you know?"

"What does that sword do?"

"You're kidding, right?"

"You don't understand, I worked with something in mind, only for it to be something totally different in the end. The plan was for it to be a Wakizashi... But hey, at least it stays with a backup weapon... Maybe its abilities too?"

What kind of explanation was this? Is this the kind of situation where they tell you. "It's just that you're no such thing, otherwise you'd understand"? What a drama.

"So now I have a cursed sword and a mystery box sword... Haa... Whatever. So how do we find out her abilities?"

"Give it to me, maybe I can talk to it and find out something."

I don't think to consider how it's possible to talk to a sword, magical world and equally magical blacksmith... Yeah, seems logical to me.
