"Izayoi-sama!" Myouga Yelled in joy. Izayoi heard the dear voice that of myouga and started looking around, but it was the pinch on her neck that told her she found him or rather he found her.
"Myouga-san."She instinctually slapped him to the floor. He then gathered him self and bowed politely as did Izayoi. She lowered her self to the tatami mats and sat in the proper manner.
"My pardon my lady I just couldn't resist, not around such delectable blood " Izayoi wasn't sure how to react hearing this, but knew it was just his way of pleasing her. Personally the speaking of tasty blood didn't exactly take her fancy.
……..
They were now at the table sitting on the floor. Izayoi poured Myouga some tea she had brewed into a regular sized cup. Of coarse compared to myouga it was bigger than a lake. She slowly and carefully sat the teapot to the side and allowed myouga to speak first.
"Izayoi I trust you and the young prince have been doing fairly well, now that you've been moved?"
"This village is much better, but still the teasing and abuse has yet to cease. But I suppose that will always be of the expected"
"Sadly yes. If inu no…." Izayoi's eyes started to droop."H-how is the young lord Inuyasha taking to this place?"
"Yesterday, do you know what he asked me?"Myouga listened closely to her words "He asked me "Mother what is a half breed"
"They didn't?" Izayoi only nodded "Who broke the decree?"
"My son didn't say."
"Call him here. I must know! The punishment for such an action is…"
"No myouga! It's good that he knows. Sooner or later he is going to hear that horrible word again, and worse. I want to prepare him for the life he will live. I want him to know why he is shunned away and picked on. To know how cruel people can be so that he will become strong… unlike me."
"Izayoi…"
" Myouga. I can't live like this. I can deal with the abuse. The name-calling and the loneliness the line separating me from my own people. I expected it! Accepted it and prepared my self for it. But then the reason I sacrificed it all for, had to depart."
"Inu no tai sho…"
"Yes. He was exposed to live hundreds of years after my death. And he was the one who took my place in the neather world. Honestly if it weren't for Inuyasha. The name that rolled off his lips onto mine, I would have also been found under the wreckage of the old birthing house. Inuyasha was my only reason for living as is today. There are simply no more reasons to continue living.
"The father of my child and love of my life has died, Touga's son from his previous marriage has taken his place on the throne as well as the small castle, the castle I once knew as my only home, also as the place Inuyasha would be brought up at, and where I would grow old alongside my husband, My son knows the meaning of the words whispered in secret, and I have no companions."
I am living the life of a betrayer, which now I can be proud of, who would ever want to be associated a race so cruel, wicked, and cold hearted."
"Izayoi you aren't thinking of…."
"I would never be as so selfish to let our Inuyasha stay here alone in this world of demons. To make himgo through it all alone, is the biggest sin of all"
"It's as if our family is worlds apart."
