kristenskI was reading a short Inuyasha fanfic the other day, and it occurred to me that no one ever thanks Toutousai. And thus, this quick little drabble was born.
Gratitude
Toutousai watched Inuyasha and his friends as they faded into the distance. A newly polished Tessaiga rode at the hanyou’s hip.
It had been a typical meeting. Inuyasha had appeared, demanded repairs for his sword, spouted threats, waved fists and, ultimately, insulted all of Toutousai’s hard work. It was, all in all, typical of most of the swordsmith’s visits with clients. Youkai were used to taking what they pleased when they pleased.
Only one had ever thanked him.
And, because the Inu no Taishou had never been stingy with his thanks, Toutousai would not be stingy in aiding his son.
