Bullet The Blue Sky: Tattoimaru’s weapon
*episode 9*

“WIND SCAR!”
As the energy wave travels toward him, Tattoimaru tries to counter it with the Taiyou. When the light from the hammer dims, he sees that while weakened, the half-demon’s attack is still coming. In an instant, a black flash occurs. As the wind scar rips through the place where the boy had been standing, Kyoubou sets him down nearby. Inuyasha says, “Quit movin around!” Tattoimaru replies with a hammer strike. Damn it Inuyasha thinks, I can’t hit’im, and I can’t use my backlash wave; that attack is just too damn fast As the two continue, Kagome hears, “Kagome!” Miroku and Sango have just arrived. Miroku says, “Judging by the fact that he seems to be standing even with Inuyasha; I take it that Tattoimaru has the demon weapon.” Kagome nods. “Very well,” Miroku says, “Tell Inuyasha to get back; I will suck the weapon into my windtunnel. There is no other choice.” Kagura says, “I wouldn’t.” As the others look to her she says, “The Saimyoushou have been gathering here; in far greater numbers than I have ever seen.” Taking her own initiative, Kirara moves to join Inuyasha. Turning his attention to her, Tattoimaru says, “You will not interfere!” As he raises the hammer, Kyoubou, his eyes momentarily orange, knocks the boy off his feet. “I have you now!” Inuyasha shouts. He is in midair heading for the boy. Suddenly, he is enveloped in a black cloud. “Fog?” Kagome asks. “No,” Kagura says, “Insects.” A cloud of poisonous insects has enveloped Inuyasha and dragged him to the ground. As he struggles to slice them aside, an unending stream of them flock to him. Charging into the cloud, Kirara’s flames shoot outward enveloping the insects and the half-demon. Accepting that his enemies are now distracted, Tattoimaru turns to his again docile pet. “I am sick of you!” he shouts. “You continue to defy my will; well I have had enough. DIE!” Slamming the hammer against the demon, he sends Kyoubou flying. Badly hurt, the flame-cat stagers to his feet. His red eyes look to his master, awaiting the finishing blow. As Tattoimaru raises the Taiyou, he suddenly hears, “Hiraikotsu!” Enraged and offended, Sango has sent her weapon hurtling at the boy. Unphased, he moves his own weapon to block it. The Hiraikotsu slams against the hammer which pulses. To the surprise of everyone there, the boomerang pulses back. As Tattoimaru watches in horror, the Taiyou is pushed back. Unable to hold the weapon; the boy lets go and barely manages to duck beneath the slayer’s weapon. The hammer goes flying and the boy huddles into a ball. Suddenly, the insects who had been trying to reach Inuyasha through Kirara’s flames swarm to Tattoimaru. Suspended in a living cloud, the boy and his weapon are carried away.
