The Angel And The Demon (Sesshomaru Fanfiction)

Episode 13 - Is It Worth My Time?

Sesshomaru was walking a long while, he had traveled far away from Rin, Chelsea, and Jaken. Putting thought into it, even if she's not human; whatever she is will come out eventually, so giving her something basic would have some benefit to protect Rin and herself in a time of need. Especially carry those shards.

As he walked the ground got hard, and the air got hot; he approached a large skull protruding out of a mountain, making a cavern. It looked like it was a lava lake at one point, but slowly cooled turning it into a silicate stone; making it a perfect foundation.

A voice shouted out from the cave, "No!" The voice was old and horse, like whoever owned it yelled a lot. "I will not do it! So just leave!" The voice called out again.

Sesshomaru kept walking up to the cave, ignoring the demands. "Tōtōsai." He said looking into the cave.

A short old man waddled out, "I said no!" He croaked, he tossed a large hobo pack over his shoulders; he was balding, he had a gray mustache and beard, to go with the little gray hair on his head.

"I need a sword." Sesshomaru said bluntly.

"Well, I'm not making you one, and you can't make me. We've been over this." The short man walked away. "You already have that horrid Tōkijin, why can't you be more grateful about with what you have?"

"The weapon isn't for me." He answered, watching him walk past.

Tōtōsai stopped and looked at him, "Is that so?" He got a suspicious look, "Who is it for?" He looked around, "And why isn't he here to receive it?"

"That isn't any of your concern, so don't worry about it, I need a sword." The Demon Lord said sternly.

"I need to know more about who I'm making a sword for, and material to make it out of; I can't pull a sword out of thin air." Tōtōsai stated, as he placed his pack down.

"What do you need?" Sesshomaru's voice was cold.

"It depends on what the purpose of the sword is for, what you need it to do, who is wielding it, and the type." Tōtōsai explained, as he waddled back into his cave. "Also, how large the sword will be."

Sesshomaru thought for a minute; he wasn't sure how to explain what he needed, when he wasn't even really sure what Chelsea was to begin with.

"Is there some way to get them here, or something you can bring me; like a tooth to make the sword?" Tōtōsai asked curiously, then begun to study Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru thought for a while.

"Anything?" Tōtōsai asked, "Who are we making it for?"

Sesshomaru turned away and started to leave.

Tōtōsai gave a surprised look, "Where are you going?" He shouted after him, "Hey, I thought you wanted a sword?"

Sesshomaru didn't turn back, instead he gave a small bound and took off into the air.

Watching him leave Tōtōsai shrugged, "Oh well, I guess I'm not making a sword." He turned back into his cave, "Now, what do I want for dinner?"

Next to a roaring fire Chelsea was frying up some fish, along with some vegetables. While Rin chased Jaken around, trying to decorate him with flowers. Chelsea looked up from her cooking and laughed at them, feeling a familiar aura. "There he is," She looked over her shoulder, "I was wondering if I was gonna have to make something special for you." She flashed a beaming smile at him.

Sesshomaru stepped out of the trees, and looked at her, "Don't worry about me," He said then sat down near a tree, "How are your wounds?"

Chelsea let out a sigh, "Their ok, they are just hot, you know?" She looked over at him, batting her large eyes at him.
