191 5.80 Hama no Ya. Kikyo, Kaede and Inuyasha Joins The Elite Team (1/2)

We went to the Little hut where we had left our horses, which belongs to Kikyo and her younger sister. We sat outside the hut and had dumplings while little Kaede was boiling water to make tea for us. As the tea was later served, I took a bottle of pinaatsubata and handed it to Inuyasha.

”Here, this is for you, Kikyo and little Kaede to eat with your dumplings. It's a spread that comes in a bottle and was manufactured from our village. Try it, you may like it. Here... I show you how it is done.”

I took the bottle from Hiko-sama and used a chopstick and dug the contents and spread it inside the dumpling after tearing it into half. I made sure mine is covered with a generous spread before I closed the bottle's lid and began to bite into the dumpling.

A simple dumpling, when spread with a little something of a luxury, would make a rather good meal. Inuyasha opened up the bottle and followed my example and ate the dumpling. He was smiling when he ate it and when he saw me looking at him, he sat and turned his back towards me.

Kikyo and little Kaede also made theirs and were telling us on how remarkable the spread was and it was much better than the red bean paste. They asked if this is really from our village and Hiko-sama said it was. As a priestess, Kikyo had little friends and was very close to her younger sister. She too was like a Youkai Taijiya and prevents those pesky demons from harassing the villagers as well as their plantations.

”Mojo-sama, may I ask you a question? When you unleash your arrow towards the youkai did you induce any magic into it or it comes naturally?” I asked and I saw Inuyasha perked his ears up and turned his head slightly to eavesdrop.

”Oh... Do you mean this Hama no Ya? These arrows would be imbued with my spiritual powers in order to perform my exorcism or sealing of this youkai. Hmm, it is the same as your Odachi here.”

”Hiko-sama had told me the story when you chased off Hiten of the Thunder Brothers and also had knocked Manten with a stone that you had imbued with your own spiritual powers.”

”I, too am able to see your strong spiritual powers that are now flowing freely within your body. Easily accessible and ready to be utilised at a moments notice,” explained Kikyo and Sango went to tell the story of how she had mistaken me as youkai and thought that I was trying to kidnap Kohaku at that time. She laughed when she heard it and Inuyasha perked his ears up again and looked behind his shoulder at me.

I looked at Inuyasha and thought how protective he is towards Kikyo and somehow seems a bit jealous when he has somewhat left aside during the conversation.

”Inuyasha, why do you want to be a full-fledged Youkai? Is it you wanted to be like your father and elder brother? Look at me, I am not even a hanyou but I do possess prowess somewhat like a full-fledged youkai when the need arises.”

Hearing me possess a power comparable to a full-fledged youkai made him turn around and face me, staring me in the face, as if he was smelling me.

”No, you don't smell like a youkai to me or even looked like one,” Inuyasha said after a while.

Hiko-sama saw the event and said,”Even if he doesn't look like a youkai, he is a truly qualified Hitokiri with a reed pen and a very sharp tongue. He even talked down to the Mayor and now His Excellency as our powerful ally.”

”A Hitokiri with a reed pen and a sharp tongue? What can it possibly do with a puny pen... Keh! This young kid is so weak and my Sankon Tesso could simply shred him apart... Keh!” Inuyasha was basically spewing his disapproval towards me, as he was being treated the same by other kids and youkai.

”Inuyasha, I knew when you were young, you were ostracized by other kids and youkai alike because of you being a hanyou. Look... I was just like you, if not for a kind human that took me in I would have died along time ago when my village was pillaged by Bandits.”

”You were lucky, at least you knew who your father was and also his name and your mother had taken you since young but her mysterious demise had left you devastated. You had nowhere to go and since you had no friends, you decided to shut yourself to people around you.”

”Look Inuyasha, these are your new friends besides Miko-sama and her younger sister, you have Sango and Kohaku, Hoshi-sama, Hiko-sama and lastly me. We have travelled from Fukushima in search of you three because I felt that I need to do something to avert something drastic from happening in the future.”

”If now, we have to face a 100 youkai at one time, in the future there would be a 1,000 or even 10,000 of them appearing at one time. Even your Sankon Tesso would not be able to wipe out the whole horse if demons coming at you... Unless you have this.”

I took out my Kodachi from my obi and handed it to Inuyasha in which he held it and was surprised when it thumped in his hands as if it had a heartbeat on its own. He looked at the kodachi that was measured slightly longer than 2 foot in length and withdrew it from its sheath.

The glimmer alone that was struck by the sun alone was overwhelming as if Inuyasha was holding 10 such Kodachi in his hand rather than one. Its glimmer reflected in everyone's eyes that they felt that Inuyasha was waving it about.

He looked at it and he can smell my blood Essense imbued in it after I had let it sit inside the furnace to become red hot after I had forged it. Then he saw some Hiragana etchings on the blade and saw ”Trust and Friendship”.

”Kiddo, is this the name of this blade? Trust and Friendship?” asked Inuyasha.

”Yes... I cannot name it as Tetsusaiga as it could kill a hundred youkai with one strike or a Tenseiga that could bring the dead back into life because these two names are the names of the katana that your father had sealed in his secret place for both you and your brother. So naming it as Shinrai to yujo makes more sense.”

”By the way, this Kodachi has two characteristics to both your Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga, for it is able to kill and also be able to heal or resurrect at the same time. I was unable to perform the resurrection because Mr Director here was afraid that it turned into a Zombie and start an APOCALYPSE.”

”Ehhh...? A Kodachi that Kills and also heals? What does it mean?”

A crew member offscreen handed the same poor chicken from the first few chapters of this series and handed it to Hiko-sama as it clucked loudly and flapped its wings with the legs tied up as usual.

”Here, let me show you an example,” and took the chicken and sliced its wings off. Blood began to spurt and made Inuyasha dizzy and I quickly summoned the psi healing energy into the Kodachi and waves it above the decapitated wing. Soon the wing attaches itself as if nothing had happened to it!

Everyone was amazed at what I had done and what the Kodachi was able to perform while the chicken was clucking badly at me, ”Cluck...! Cluck...!! Cluck...!!!” meaning to say, ”You dirty little bastard! Again you did an experiment on me after you had done before on me! Do you think it's not painful to have that blade through my poor wings?!? Do and do it to your own self then you would know how painful it would be, you little bastard...!!! ”

Hiko-sama let the chicken go and it ran straight to the earlier offscreen crew member and seemed to hug him and asked to be consoled when he reaches out for the chicken.

”It is amazing! Himura, could you do the same to my kurisagama?” inquired Kohaku as he too wanted to experiment it on his main weapon.

”Since your main weapon is for exterminating youkai, I wouldn't do the healing part on it because the youkai would die then resurrected and die again and this would get repeated until both parties became tired and gave up the fight. Hahahaha...”

Kohaku laughed as well and Sango patted his head, as he too wanted the kurisagama to be as formidable as my Kodachi.
