Inuyasha:The third sword

The night was darker than in the past few days, even when the occasional cloud decides to move and lets the moon break free from its natural prison, it is barely able to radiate enough light to soothe the trembling hearts of the inhabitants of the city below. 

This once lively city is now deserted and the only thing that proves that human life still exists are the terrified whispers coming from the houses. 

Contrary to these facts, the imposing castle resting on the hill seems to shine over this dark scenery, thus providing a modicum of solace in the long night ahead. 

*Roar*

Letting out a roar of pure power, a long oriental dragon with dark color, red eyes full of anger, whiskers and four strong limbs, entangles itself around the entire structure of the castle. 

Once it encircled the entire barrier of the castle with its elongated body, it began to squeeze the barrier, just like a snake with its prey. 

...Christopher/Asahiko pov...

"We are finished!"

"It's the end! It's the end!"

The screams of some soldiers at the same time as the hidden swindlers can be heard all over the place and almost makes them sound like headless chickens, due to their fear. 

Ignoring those minor mishaps, he observed towards the huge dragon who seems to have a personal vendetta with me and his eyes full of will go confirm that. 

*Roar!*

"Oh, Amaterasu-Sama. Give us the fire!"

Letting out one or another stupidity with a totally serious face, I grabbed a good amount of talismans and squeezed them in my hands before lighting them on fire, then sending them towards the furious dragon. 

*Roar!!!* 

Banging his head against the barrier even harder, also ignoring my flames consuming part of his dark body, the dragon continues his outbursts in a fruitful attempt to remove the barrier and make his way into the castle grounds. 

"This doesn't seem to be working fast enough to keep the barrier from falling, do me the honors?"

Noticing that the fire is less effective than expected, he's a dragon. I turn around and speak to Kikyo who stands next to the feudal lord with her bow at the ready. 

"Not yet... the presence that was divided before is now gathering in the shadow of that dragon. That is what prevents the advance of your flames and supports their continued attacks on the barrier."

Giving an explanation full of certainty and keeping her eyes fixed on the dragon's shadow. Kikyo stops any sign of unease or uncertainty, before drawing her bow into a full moon shape and remaining static as she waits for the ideal moment.

*Roaring*

Roaring towards the sky due to the explosion of flames that just hit him in the face. What? I wasn't going to let him continue damaging the barrier. The situation of him attacking and me defending with the talismans is repeated a few times, until an arrow passes by me at full speed and impacts directly on the dragon's forehead. 

*ROAR!!!* 

The pain the dragon felt was palpable to all observers, its screams, writhing body and the dark particles slowly turning pink. Everything marked the end of this yokai under the arrow shot by Kikyo.

Cheers were not long in coming within the castle boundaries, be it soldiers, monks or those swindlers, everyone was happy to be able to see the next day. 

Seeing the happy expressions of all the people in the surroundings, I look towards Kikyo who is standing next to me and carefully observing the place where the dragon has just been eliminated.

"It wasn't completely eliminated, was it?

As I spoke I put away my talismans and opened the fan. Yes, I have become addicted to the veil of mystery created by fanning. Shaking my head I place the fan inside the suit and go to Kikyo who is now alone as the feudal lord is shouting orders from afar. 

"That thing we fought against was an extension of the main body, a branch that can be gotten rid of at any time. Though I have an idea about what might be going on and how to resolve this."

Answering my doubt, Kikyo doesn't let me open my mouth again and hands me an explanation, since she knows I'm ignorant in these matters.

He also again demonstrates his observation skills, which have gotten us through a few cases, and poses a solution, although he doesn't say what it is. 

"I would appreciate it if you would enter in an orderly fashion towards the interior of the castle. Lord Asahiko and his beautiful companion Miss Kikyo, you may retire directly towards your quarters."

One or the other monk was surrounded by the soldiers, while others were persuaded in a more civilized manner and for our part the feudal lord released us directly. 

Charm looks like it's going to take the MVP of this whole game, it's a super broken skill when it comes to humans.
