Inuyasha:The third sword

Nada remained silent as Inuyasha, his group and Asahiko planned the counterattack. So who was he that attracted Ryukotsusei's attention? Easy, that was left up to Sesshōmaru. 

It might seem like a monumental task if we consider that Inuyasha and Asahiko couldn't handle him, but Sesshōmaru was someone totally different from those two. 

The first thing is that there is a big difference with Asahiko, who would gladly test himself against Ryukotsusei's attacks. Also with Inuyasha who just swings his sword wildly, without any logic or technique, pure animal instinct. 

Sesshōmaru is a master swordsman, far superior in technique to Inuyasha and in experience to Asahiko, added to his incredible amount of energy, he was a challenging opponent head on and much more against the clock. 

"I had considered it a lie. How could the great Dog Demon, Inu no Taisho, have a Hanyo for a son? But now I can.. Agh."

"You talk too much, Ryukotsusei."

The only sign of the negative emotions was Sesshōmaru's tighter grip on Tokijin's hilt. Yes, it seems that the topic about his father is a big no.

Those feelings still don't interfere with his abilities, as he continues to move gracefully in the air and his sword attacks go straight for the eyes and mouth. 

"I finally know. what? Don't look at me like that, I finally learned his name... It was weird to keep calling him Dragon Spirit in my mind."

Appearing calmly on a nearby rocky pillar, Asahiko strokes his chin with his hand and begins to nod his head. 

He clearly doesn't mind one bit speaking so out of turn, causing a brief silence to form in the vicinity, though they quickly struggle again. 

"Is it really something important? Yes, true you do have serious problems with names."

"Don't slander me if you don't have any proof!"

"Goshinki!"

"Who...?"

Shaking his head to the side in a flirtatious manner, well it would be if there were any women around, so he only manages to make a face of displeasure at Inuyasha. 

"Is it necessary to put on that expression?"

"Totally "x3

It wasn't just Inuyasha who responded immediately, but even Ryukotsusei, Sesshōmaru and from a distance other voices could be heard. Well, maybe the latter was Asahiko's auditory illusion. 

"So... Then I'm sorry."

Apologizing with an immovable smile on his face, Asahiko's right hand slyly reaches for the hilt of Clouded Fang, then still with his smile, unleashes a slash forward. 

The reddish energy unleashed by Asahiko's simple slash easily reaches 50 meters high. It wasn't like Sesshōmaru's Konatsu, which is a fusion of physical strength and energy thus releasing the Sword Force... No, Asahiko's is pure energy.

*Boom*

A horrifying red light spreads towards the surroundings, making the already gloomy valley even more terrifying thanks to it. 

"Tsk, he's still alive."

"He's obviously tough as... Wait, you were talking about me!"

"Oh, no, Inuyasha... It was for everyone."

Finishing speaking still with his slight smile, the gem in Clouded Fang's hilt begins to glow in dark tones, it is obvious that another attack is coming. 

"The idiot plan, remember the plan!"

"Oh... This was always part of the plan~"

Without finishing her words yet, Asahiko's small and warm smile turns into a huge and dangerous one bathed in a red color thanks to the Clouded Fang gem. 

...Kikyo pov....

"Your Excellency... If you could always do this, why don't you ever do it?"

"There is never any time, Young Sango. You think the enemies are going to wait for me to erect a barrier, of course not!"

You certainly don't need to be full of positive emotions or good deeds to achieve purification, but I'm still beginning to doubt that you do... Miroku? He really is a monk. 

"Don't believe any of his words, Sango. I saw with my own eyes how Asahiko gave him some coins, that's why he's so happy."

"You got it wrong, Shippo. He didn't give me something as vain as money."

"I see, Your Excellency... You wouldn't mind taking your hand out of there."

It was kind of pointless, I could easily notice the little flick of the wrist he monk made. Clearly he had already hidden the money. 

I guess everyone has their flaws, whether it's a servant of the gods who is greedy, someone obsessive about love, or even those who live in denial... Haha, who of the two of us are my words directed at. 

"Four-pointed formation, rise up!"

That monk's voice was not what brought me out of my reverie, but it was the familiar feeling I can feel in here. 

The barrier couldn't be felt even to those inside, but you could still see it, it was very much like a mirage... or like the degraded illusion of a certain person. 

"Miroku... You really have the skills of a monk, I thought you lived on scams?"

"Shippo, I want to remind you that those scams are the ones that make you sleep in a bed and feed you during your travels."

"Your Excellency, that's enough. Go with Kagome, I'll take care of defending her against any unforeseen events."

I couldn't help but give a brief appreciative glance to the young woman called Sango, I have enough with Asahiko, no need to have one more. 

Erasing such thoughts, I wait for them to disappear from the barrier and reach out my hand, before grabbing that specific arrow. 

I never would have thought that I would use the shards for... Something so selfish. Haha, this is not at all befitting of a priestess. 

"Hahaha."

"What 's wrong?"

"Nothing important, but now move away I'm going to shoot."

Even I can feel the... Ease with which those words come out. They weren't part of the continuous mask she wore, nor were they from Kikyo the priestess... They were only from Kikyo. 

"I understand, according to His Excellency the barrier will only be able to withstand one outgoing blow."

"It's not like it can take a second attack."

Saying a fact, but with a tone that shows it's a joke, he slowly placed the arrow in the bow and I began to gather positive energy.

Seeing them from afar does not credit to the state of the fragments cared for by Asahiko, they were simply extremely pure, almost seeming never to have touched any negative energy really. 

"You damn fool, what are you doing!"

"I'm helping you, Inuyasha. It seems you can only use that ability if you're being attacked, so let's do it!"

Along with the shout that clearly belongs to Asahiko, I watch as the remnants of that yokai's negative energy soar into the sky and cover the view of the surroundings. 

It was a futile tactic, it certainly managed to cover the view, but still the amount of energy they give off is like a beacon in the darkness. 

No, yes the energy given off by Inuyasha and that yokai are like beacons, the one Asahiko is releasing is like a summer sun. It was a beastly amount, I can feel the negative energy bubbling up and being forcefully devoured towards his sword. 

"Go... KU... KU... RYU... HA!"

"BAKURYUGA!"

The voices of both Asahiko and Inuyasha cut through the thick fog of negative energy, as if a mysterious force would compel them to hear the name of such attacks. 

The former's attack was a walking natural disaster, the fusion of his energy and the negative energy taken from the dragon yokai, creates a huge tornado that looks like a dragon biting its tail and advancing like a shuriken. 

Meanwhile Inuyasha's attack came later, it was as if he had changed it halfway, one moment his energy ran one way and the next another, as if he understood something. 

*Booom!

The clash between the two abilities instantly cleared the remnants of negative energy, then the storm clouds were shattered and then came the screams of the youkai, who was in the middle of those two attacks.

"Clouded Fang's power... No, Steel Fang too... Tsk, just Holy Fang. Do it, shoot now."

Inuyasha's brother, uh... Heh, Sesshōmaru called him the girl who meets that imp. Never mind, it's time. 

"Right."

Warned of the release, since he's obviously the one who will deliver the final blow, he finally let out the supercharged arrow. 

The barrier was pierced from the inside out, there was so much force contained in the shot that the barrier instantly exploded and before he could react, a piercing scream spread through the surroundings. 

"AHHHHGG, DAMN YOU, I'LL KILL YOU, LOS!"

"Konatsu!"

It was a simple lunge from a distance that Sesshōmaru unleashes, but I could clearly feel the energy contained there and the trail of energy embedding itself in the yokai proves it. 

"AGHBBH!"

"Just die already!"

"Fucking already!"

With the shout of their two masters, both abilities that had been trying to swallow each other finally run out of sustenance and explode into an insane amount of energy. 

*Booooom!

The entire Dragon Valley began to tremble from the unleashed power, as clouds in the distance were wiped away and pillars began to fall from the shockwave. 

"Protect them, A-Un!"

"Foolish beast, because follow what the girl says!"

With a scaly flash, a beast that is easily bigger than two horses covers my entire field of vision, plus it also manages to shield me from the shockwave. 

"Ahhh, I'm going to die!"

"Un, grab Mr. Jaken!"

"Don't bite my leg, you stupid beast!"

Thus under the scream of the imp named Jaken, who is blown away like a flag, finally the repercussions end and leave a silence in the air.
