Chapter 1

"Lord Inutaisho you are requested by mi lady to come to her chambers"; Jaken stated as he humbly bowed before his master who was pacing back and forth through his library. "Is it time Jaken?" he asked trying to sound calm and reserved, when deep down he was nervous. "No my lord but she wants you to be there." Inutaisho walks towards the door with Jaken following close behind. Inutaisho's wife is expecting and this being his first pup he is very nervous. Why was the great Inutaisho nervous? He had defeated many great enemies and destroyed an entire army of panther demons with a single strike from his sword. Why was he worried? He was tall in his humanoid form, with a sharp set of claws and fangs. He was built and his sword Tentetsharu one of his many weapons was very powerful. Not to mention that he could transform to his true dog-demon form; which was huge and powerful all on its own, so why was he nervous? He wanted a son who would be just as strong as he was and someone who he could teach how to hunt, and fight just as his father did. He wanted to be a good father who was around; although his father cared for him and took care of his family; the only time they really spent together was fighting wars and conquering lands. He wanted it to be different for his son and so that's why before he chose a mate and decided to have children he wanted to make sure he defeated all his enemies before hand so that he could be around.

"Kira are you ok my love?" Inutaisho walked in the room where his mate was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. "Lord Inutaisho lady Shakirmaru is fine." Her midwife stated and Shakirmaru opened her eyes and looked at her husband with a light only an expecting mother could have. "I am fine, though I wish I was out hunting or tending to my garden." Inutaisho walked over and took her hand. "Kira I told you about that, me and my men do the hunting and you can take care of matters of the castle or tend to your garden." She gripped his hand hard and growled at him. "Have you forgotten why you chose me from my other sisters?" she said. "No I haven't dear you were the only one who stood up to your father and had even challenged me to a fight to win you. I have to say I still have the scar on my side where you cut me with your claw." They both laugh out loud, but it stops when Kira screams in pain. "The baby is coming" the midwife screams as she and the other hand maidens run around the room. Inutaisho's eyes flash red as his sensitive ears burn from the screams of his mate and the others in the room. He watches the miracle of his first pup to be born and looks to his wife who is still screaming in pain.

Hours later there is a cry in the room and Inutaisho is holding a young boy in his arm. The pup has silver hair like his father and a crescent moon on his forehead like his mother. He has amber eyes and is screaming loud. Inutaisho gives the baby to Kira who comforts the baby in her arms. "What shall we name him Inutaisho?" she says while looking at the pup. Inutaisho sees the baby swinging his claws at his mother's long silver bangs. "His name shall be Sesshomaru."

"LORD INUTAISHO WOLF DEMONS ATTACKING ON THE LANDS!" one of his men screams. Inutaisho eyes flash red and he looks at his mate. "Kira stay her and rest, you inform Captain Tenmaru to guard the lady and my son. The rest of the men will follow me." With that Inutaisho runs to his armory and places his armor on and removes his trusted sword from its place amongst many weapons. He then runs to where the battle is raging and you can see huge dog and wolf demons fighting and Inutaisho asks no questions. He unsheathes his sword and cuts the head off of one of the wolves. He then proceeds to walking through the battle field cutting demons down without even breaking a sweat. Each time a wolf demon came at him he just smiled and cut it in half. He then sees a group of wolves feeding on one of his men in his dog-demon form. "Great a group of wild, mangy, bloodthirsty wolves have entered my lands. Something must be wrong for them to have entered my land." He then raises Tentetsharu and hit it to the ground a huge wave of fire and electricity shot from the sword and tore through the wolves. Their bodies exploded and burned as blood gushed from the wounds the attack inflicted. A wolf demon was trying to attack him from behind and Inutaisho just stands there. The demon jumps and is about to hit from above when Inutaisho quickly turned and impaled the demon on his sword.

"Why have you and your pack come here demon?" the wolf was still on his sword snapping and trying to claw Inutaisho. Inutaisho growls and brings his sword up slicing the demon in half. "Is there not an intelligent demon in this pack?" Inutaisho runs full speed and cuts down a bunch of the demons with lighting quick slices. He then strikes the ground to take out the rest of the wolves in the way. At the edge where his lands and the forest met he saw the leader. Standing there watching the battle. The wolf demon was huge and he was brown. The wolf demon's eyes were pitch black and he had white foam from his mouth. "The leader and his pack are poisoned and this explains why they were foolish enough to attack my lands." The wolf leader comes to attack Inutaisho who just laughs. The wolf demon snaps his jaws and Inutaisho jumps out the way. He then jumps and stabs the wolf demon in the head. The wolf demon shakes his head and Inutaisho's hand loses grip of the sword as he flips to the ground landing on his feet.

"You are a dangerous prey dog, but I shall devour you for killing my pack. Your blood shall quench my thirst and I will eat your entire pack; including the newborn pup I smell." The huge wolf lunges at Inutaisho, who runs at him and slashes the demon across his side with his claws which gushes huge pools of blood, the demon cries out in pain. Inutaisho throws his hand towards the sky and his swords rips violently from the demons head. "I shall kill you before you can even think of your next move." The demon comes to crush Inutaisho with his huge paws, but stops as Inutaisho's sword slowly cuts from his mouth and through the rest of his body, the demon falls and the Inutaisho hands glows a fiery red; he then placed his claw into the demon's carcass and the fire licked up the body until nothing was left but ashes. "Remove these mangy wolves from my lands." His dog-demon guards move swiftly to remove the bodies of the wolves from his lands. When he senses danger within the castle. He runs.

Inside the castle…

The demon had bit Tenmaru and injected his poison that quickly made the dog-demon drop. The demon knocks the door down and walks in to find an empty bed and a host of dog-demon maidens attacking him. Their eyes are flashing red and they are determined to attack the intruder to protect their lady. The demon grabs each of the demonesses and snaps their neck; the midwife cuts him with her sword. He winces at the pain and wraps his tail around her. He snaps her in two and throws her into the wall. "Where are you wench I want to feast on you and your pup" The demon sees her in the corner of the huge room with a baby Sesshomaru wrapped around her back. He rises to attack. "Snake demon if you want me come and get me Kira says and she runs in for the attack. The demon punches her in the stomach, but she recovers and slashes him with yellow claws. "Wench your poison is no match for my venom." The snake demon changes completely and strikes with his fangs. Kira jumps and slashes him continuously until the demon steps back and laugh.

"Wench while you were cutting me with your claws I have your pup." Kira stops her advances and looks with fear. "Release my son!" Inutaisho booms and has his sword drawn. "No Inutaisho I have this under control." Inutaisho smiles as he knows what she is capable of doing. "Snake demon not only is that poison I have injected you with but it is also an agent that prevents you from using your senses." The snake demon is unable to smell and hear and misses the chance to dodge Inutaisho grabbing Sesshomaru and Kira taking her claws and stabbing the demon through his throat and ripping out its poison gland. Blood gushes all over the room and Sesshomaru, who bust out in laughter. "Your son takes a liking to killing just as you do Kira" Inutaisho says as he wipes blood from his face. She was covered in blood and was tearing the demon's heart out as it was screaming in pain. "Honey you know I come from a family of killers, but normally I am lady he just attacked my pup." Inutaisho growls at the carcass of the fallen snake demon and walks over to his mate. "He killed all of my hand maidens, the bastard I should have killed him instead of hiding, but you told me to rest." They exit the room…

"He must have been the one who poisoned the wolves, but why did he come here?" Inutaisho brain was spinning while he and his wife were in the bath together. "I don't know Inutaisho but it felt good to get into the thrill of the fight and Sesshomaru is a trooper he was just laughing the hold time and didn't cry when the demon was holding him he is brave just like me." "Like you, now Kira he is like me! The great Inutaisho." They both laugh and they rest after a battle with crazed wolves. Sesshomaru is in his crib sleeping while the recovering Tenmaru and two other guards are guarding his room.
