An Undefined Soul

by Xelrina

Sesshoumaru hated humans and his half brother. Why? Things are not what it seems anymore. This story has no link whatsoever to the original series and its movies. Yes, I am rewriting the story in my own way. This is something you will not be prepared for.

1. Chapter 1

An Undefined Soul

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or its characters.

Chapter 0

He was about twenty. Considered a grown up by human standards, but was still seen as a young pup by his demon counterparts. Twenty years was nothing compared to the decades, or even centuries they had lived through. Sesshoumaru had much to learn.

Although still young and inexperienced, Lord Inutaisho was immensely proud of his son. Sesshoumaru had shown to be a gifted fighter and a talented leader, and his father would have no worries if the day to hand over the reign were to come. However, there was still a slight problem. While Lord Inutaisho was a compassionate demon, and that earned him respect from many demons and humans all over Japan. His son was cold and distant, and had no qualms about punishing those who disobeyed him and that earned him a reputation far different from his father's. The only demon who had the courage (or was it foolhardiness?) to place his loyalty with the fearful dog demon was a green swamp imp named Jaken. Not only did the ass kisser abandoned his swamp clan to serve Sesshoumaru, he had also signed a blood pact with the beautiful demon, offering his services till his last breath. Lord Inutaisho had a good laugh when he met the squawking retainer.

Judging from the number of occasions the short demon had angered his master, his end would indeed come very soon.

But somehow, seeing that Sesshoumaru had not 'replaced' the green toad yet, Lord Inutaisho was now more than sure that his heir was more tolerant than he had thought from the beginning. It gave him hope that the future of his Western Lands would be in good hands.

You credit him too much. He still has much to learn.

Lord Inutaisho frowned at his inner voice, but grunted in agreement. His dear son may be capable, but he was still far from good. He needed to build up his reputation (though Lord Inutaisho suspected that Sesshoumaru did not need help in that department) throughout all the lands and make allies that would aid him in ruling the Western Lands in future.

The honourable Lord of the Western Lands quirked his lips at the thought. Sesshoumaru would make a good leader, if he did not kill off his subjects first.
