Chapter 1: Meeting in a Dream

In the middle of a meadow fields, two swords clash against each other to prove who's stronger. "When are you ever going to learn, Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru asks with an emotionless expression. "Learn what?" Inuyasha glares back at him as they clash yet again. "That I'm the supreme demon." Sesshomaru said to him. Inuyasha.

Just hearing that makes Inuyasha sick to his stomach. In all of his years of growing up, Sesshomaru didn't care about supporting Inuyasha after his mother Izayoi passed away. "I had a miserable life, thanks to you, you bastard." Inuyasha growls as they keep their clashing brawl going.

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha jump to one side facing their blades at each. "I wasn't informed of raising you after that human mother of yours. Mine is still alive." Sesshomaru said with slight amusing yet teasing manner in his voice.

Inuyasha doesn't like it when somebody insults his mother. Even as a child he watched helplessly as other people disrespected her right in front of him. He tightened his Tetsusaiga's hilt. "I thought I made it clear to you not to insult my mother." Inuyasha reminds him. Sesshomaru holds his chin with his left hand's fingers. "Oh, I don't recall such a thing." Inuyasha narrows his eyes aware that they flashed red for a brief second.

Meanwhile Kagome sits on the side in a regular yet nice kimono with cherry blossoms on instead of her miko wardrobe. 'Oh Inuyasha.' She worryingly thoughts. Over the times as she witness the two men fighting against each other non-stop. She finds it rather pointless despite Sesshomaru never-ending desire to possess Tetsusaiga ever since his father passed away. Just thinking of that reminds her of her own father. Somehow she can see the similarities between them.

Soon enough the swords stopped clashing. Kagome looks out to see Sesshomaru sheathing his Bakusaiga. "I'm done. Don't expect to come back anytime soon." He finalizes and leaves the meadow in a ball of light.

Inuyasha sheathes his Tetsusaiga back into its sheath and goes to Kagome. "Did he hurt you?" Kagome asks as she looks around him for any blood seeping though his clothes. "No, I'm fine." He replies back to her and walks passed her. "Wait Inuyasha." She runs after him, even though it's hard when she does it in her kimono. Inuyasha turns around with his bangs covering his eyes. "What he said to me earlier was true." He murmurs. Kagome's eyes grow with concern, "What to do you mean?" She asks him. Inuyasha bends down to get her climb onto his back. "It was when my mother passed away." He starts off…

Flashback

It was a rainy day on a hill that a young boy in a red outfit and long silver hair with triangular dog ears on his head. He is sitting on his knees with a bouquet of flowers in his clawed hands. Whimpering proves that something bad inflicted on him. 'Mother why did you have to leave me?' He sobs in thought. In front of him is a grave with his mother's name on the smooth surface. All he knows that his mother passed away when she was sick and couldn't recover from it at all.

'You must live on my son.' Her final words spoke to him weakly as she took his hand in her own. 'I'm sorry you never got to meet your father. He was a great man to me. He was the one who gave you your name when you were born that night. I just wished he survived that battle with that warrior who tried to stop him from saving us from the mansion being on fire.' She continues on with her memories being with Inutaishou.

What Izayoi regretfully spoke of was Sesshomaru. Knowing how cold he really was, she only told Inuyasha that Sesshomaru despised them both. Not only that but she and Sesshomaru's mother had an odd connection to one another.

End Flashback

Inuyasha finishes his story. Kagome comfortingly holds his hand with hers to assure him. "I just wish your father was alive and well. How could a man like him do something like that?" Kagome speaks with such anger of abandonment. Somehow her words made Inuyasha think about it thoroughly. "That I wish it could be done, Kagome. But there'd be a problem." He softly agrees as he pulls her into his open arms. "If we were to go back in time, and change the past, you and I wouldn't even meet each other in the future." He warns hers.

Kagome nods, "I know how the consequences can be dangerous as well. I just wish that you had an actual family to live with. I know so far you've been though such terrible times before learning the Sacred Jewel." She reminds him despite that she can't even imagine what it was really like for him to go through.

Inuyasha looks down to see Kagome asleep. 'How could she possibly fall asleep so quickly?' He raises his one brow and then carries her to their bedroom of their new house when Kagome finally returned to him.

In the middle of the night, Kagome is sleeping peacefully while Inuyasha isn't. He's constantly tossing and turning in his sleep, which causes Kagome to wake up to see what the problem. "Why?" Inuyasha mumbles in his sleep.

Inuyasha's Dream

Inuyasha is in the misty skies of his fathe'sr grave where Inutaishou's skeleton in armor is present. "Why am I back here?" He asks himself. "I summoned you here." A male voice responds to him. Inuyasha turns around to face the person who spoke to him. "Inuyasha, I'm the one who called you here." The individual said to him. The person comes out of the shadows from deep within the skeleton's inside.

Inuyasha can tell that this man is like his older brother except for different appearances. Like Sesshomaru, this man has long silver hair but it's up in a high ponytail. The man is also wearing armor like Sesshomaru with spikes in different spots on the chest, and the shoulder pads. The man is also has elf like ears on his head, but he has no crescent moon on his forehead, nor double purple stripes on his cheekbones. Instead he has jagged purple stripes. But one thing is for sure, he has the same golden eyes that both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru have.

"Why is it that you called for me?" Inuyasha asks the man in front of him. "I wasn't the only one who was trying to get a hold of." The man smiles to him. All of a Sudden Tetsusaiga rattles like crazy. "Tetsusaiga is happy to see me." The man smiles more.

Inuyasha heard something like this before. Tetsusaiga's excitement, the man who vaguely knows him means one thing, "Dad." Inuyasha manages to speak out that.

"That I am Inuyasha. I'm you're father Inutaishou." Inutaishou reckons Tetsusaiga to be given to him. "Inuyasha, Tetsusaiga is somehow giving you a warning." Inutaishou said as he takes the sword from his son. "What warning?" Inuyasha asks him as he tilts his head.

Inutaishou shows a stoic face, "For that I don't know. All I can see is the battles that Tetsusaiga helped you through over time." He unsheathes the blade to see its usual rusty appearance. "I can sense a lot more power Tetsusaiga has absorbed as well." He said with a glad face. Soon enough the sword transforms into its fang form. The wind is scrapping against the blade. "Wind Scar!" He shouts the first attack as he swings it with no effort. In the distance the skeleton vultures get caught in the blast. "Nicely done." He comments the blade.

All of a sudden the fang pulses red, "What did Tetsusaiga absorbed?" He asks Inuyasha. "The Red Tetsusaiga has the ability to break demonic barriers. I got that from the Demon Bats of the Western Shores because I had a hard trying to locate Naraku's castle which was protected by his demonic barrier." Inuyasha explains his most difficult problem of his journey. "I see." Inutaishou responses quickly.

The blade pulsates from red to a diamond white. "Adamant. I take it you received this from Hosenki who was trying to protect the jewel's last shard. You do remember his ability to speak with jewels." Inutaishou reminds his son. Inuyasha stuffs his hands into his haori's sleeves. "Yes, even he told us that we're not even supposed to be in this world. But we had no choice but to came here to stop Naraku from taking it." Inuyasha replies how it went. "Even Sesshomaru came here to help me out to stop Naraku." He adds in, which surprises Inutaishou

"Really? If I were to know about that boy is that he is always after power and supreme conquest. But he lacked the one true purpose to make it a reality." Inutaishou holds his chin in a thinking manner. "And what was that true purpose that he overlooked?" Inuyasha asks him boldly. Inutaishou chuckles, "To be frank you were the one who has done it every time you're into battle. You even proved yourself relentlessly despite how hard the fight was."

Hearing that information from his father, Inuyasha thinks back to remember what was the true purpose that his older half-brother lacked of. "Protecting my comrades." He guesses. "Exactly. That's the one thing that Sesshomaru declared to be the most ridiculous thing to have over the years." Inutaishou tells him with a smile on how stubborn Sesshomaru really way when he was younger. "I see. No wonder you passed down Tetsusaiga to me instead of him. Ever since you passed, Sesshomaru has stopped at nothing but to get his hands on it, despite of inheriting the Tenseiga from you." Inuyasha said to him with a disapproving voice. Inutaishou nods in agreement. "I knew for sure Sesshomaru would go to great lengths. But what he had no idea of was that there was a sword that was born from within himself. And the only to way obtain it is to forget his desire to possess Tetsusaiga." Inutaishou explains to him. "But for now, you're mate is calling out to you." Inutaishou adds as he sheathes Tetsusaiga back into its sheath and gives it back to his son. "Until we meet again, my son." Inutaishou smiles as he fades away…

End Of Inuyasha's Dream

"Inuyasha, please wake up." Kagome cries in plea as she tries to shake him. Inuyasha groans as he opens his golden eyes to find Kagome looking down with a concerned look with tears in her chocolate brown eyes. "I though you wouldn't wake up." She smiles as she hugs him in relief. Smelling her tears, Inuyasha embraces her in protective manner. "I'm not leaving your side Kagome. I'm always here to protect you." He declares as they both go back to sleep.
