Disclaimer: I regretfully do not own Inuyasha. :/

Heyy everyone just wanted to say hi, this is my very first fanfiction and I just hope it's okay and would appreciate any nice advice or suggestions. I'm very excited to write this story and hope you enjoy this little opener.

Destined Belonging

"Damn it all!" Lord Inutashio roared as he stalked throughout his enormous castle, throwing down inanimate objects to take out his anger and frustration at the news that had just been delivered to him."

A small flea was bouncing just a few steps behind him trying to keep up."Please my lord! Calm down, that man or whatever he was obviously was insane to dare state such a ridiculous notion in your kingdom!" Still bounding after the enraged ruler trying to grab onto the demon's long silver strands that nearly extended all the way to the pearly marble flooring.

"That god forsaken thing left this world 50 years ago! It can't be true that it has returned after all these years! Trust me my lord we should just dismiss such a silly statement."

The Great Dog Demon suddenly stopped his sharp amber eyes flashed red towards the flee, his claws curling into his tight fist as crimson blood leaked from his calloused palms, his pale silver bangs masking his eyes then as a low rumbled emitted from his broad chest.

"You don't understand what's at risk Myouga. If that damned creature spoke the truth..." He suddenly threw his face back level as he clenched his fanged teeth in an angry grimace. " It could mean a hell of a lot of fucking trouble for me and my lands."

Flashback

Lord Inutashio sat tall in his very large Council Room at the head of a large and long marble table, his eyes narrowed at one of the six demons that surrounded the remainder of the table.

" Those filthy wolves are planning another attack, I can feel it in my blood, dammit!" The Dog demon seethed his eyes wide and his fist clenched as he tried to talk some sense into his lord.

The lord of the Western Lands rose suddenly out of his seat, pinning the other dog demon with his deadly glare."Hold your tongue Houtsu. Must I remind you that I am your Lord and alpha and will not allow a beta such as yourself undermine my authority even if this is a tempting subject at hand.

The demon looked away recognized his place with a grimace and rigidly lowered back down into his seat with a scowl plastered to his war tattered face. " But my lord, surely you have sensed their acting out and disobedience to our agreements! It has worsened ever since your son InuYasha was born."

Lord Inutashio let out a small chuckle " Oh yes, ever since my hanyou son InuYasha was born they have been quite angry knowing something with tainted blood will someday reach great power over these lands. They probably are planning an attack against him to rid him of his rightful place in the future." He smirked and glanced down " Let them conceive such foolish thoughts for I will never allow them succeed."

Another one of the demons stood up with a smirk to match his lords " The others know just as well as I do that your son, though a hanyou he may be, has a very strong aura, I have to admit it was quite overwhelming sensing such potential power in such a young infant, he will grow to be a very strong and respected inu youkai."

Houtsu rose as well " That much is to be expected considering who is father is."

Lord Inutashio let out another low chuckle, grinning at his head council members. Those cocky bastards are right, even his Izayoi went through a great deal of pain and strain at giving birth to his son. The thought sent a quick shock a rage through his veins at the thought of his mate in a pain he that he could not help her from. Relaxing his tensed muscles he thought back to the first impression his son gave him.

Bright amber eyes matched his own as they stared up at him without fear or hesitance. He grinned recognizing his own courage within his son with pride. He may be a hanyou and his enemy's may use that title against him but with the stong aura he felt around his son and that spike of wildness that glinted underneath his appealing eyes, he knew his son would show them who was superior.

" My lord, my lord!" came a low and gasping voice.

Broken out of his thoughts he turned to see one of his many guards at the arch of his door his stance urgent and his eyes requesting permission to speak.

" What is it?" The demon towering over his chair as he turned waiting for the guard to explain himself for interrupting one of his council meetings.

"My apologies for interrupting, my lord. It seems though there is a strange creature at the entrance of the castle demanding your presence."

The demon let a low growl escape his mouth as an annoyed look came to his face. " Send the damn thing away, I have no time to waste on a pathetic conversation."

" I told the creature you would say that, but it insisted." The guard glanced down at his feet looking nervous and his jaw trembled slightly as he looked up at his lord like he wanted to say something else but was too afraid to utter the words.

" If you have something to say, say it, if not then leave at once!"

The guard once again looked down then spared a quick glance behind him. " It mentioned the Shikon No Tama, my lord."

The Lord snapped his head towards the guard and was silent for a few seconds until wrenching a deadly roar from his throat screaming " WHAT?" He threw his chair that he was once sitting in to the ground and marched passed the pale guard who slumped huddled against the door in fear as the great dog demon went past him.

The rest of the council stared after the lord in shock, knowing that the foolish creature was in for it. Lord Inutashio resented the jewel ever being spoken of whatsoever in "his kingdom".

The Great Dog flew down his long spiraling staircase, cursing under his breath. " That creature better pray that it's gone by the time I reach the entrance, for I will maim it for daring speak of such a evil tool. . . in my castle nonetheless."

Three guards stood near the large door of the entrance surrounding the creature with their spears at the ready, questioning the thing at the same time.

" What the fuck are you even?" one of the taller guards with short green spiked hair shouted at the four foot tall hunched over creature. It's skin was a pale white and it almost seemed to glow under the light of the full moon. You could not see it's eyes or hair for he had a large and baggy black cloak that covered his whole body as he held his hands clasped together in front of him. It seemed to be unafraid of the guards that surrounded him dangerously. It did not even flinch as one of the guards jabbed it with the blunt end of his spear.

"Enough!" Inutashio stood his stance wide and his arms crossed over his chest. His pure white kimono hung from his elbows, his baggy hakama trailed down from his waist to cup around his ankles. At his shoulder hung a large white fur hide that draped down to the ground. He scowled and then took a step forward past the guards to look at the thing that dared utter the name of the jewel in his lands.

"How dare you come to my castle speaking of the jewel! I should have you killed you worthless piece of flesh!"

The creature stood there silent at first then slowly arched it's neck up to stare at the face of the powerful dog. " I come with important news, that may be disturbing to you." it uttered, it's voice laced with a raspy growl.

"Damn well you do! Anything that has to do with the Shikon No Tama is disturbing."

" Please, it would do you well to hear what I have to say, for you and your son."

" My son? How dare you bring him into this you filth, he is but a newborn, born only a lunar cycle ago."

" I am quite aware of this, his destiny though was determined the moment he was placed in the womb."

" What destiny? My son will decide his own destiny without the likes of you or the jewel!"

The creature took notice of the dog's ferocity but did not dare back down." His destiny will be deeply intertwined with that of the jewel I must assure you but before that, listen, I have news of this jewel. He tilted back the hood of his cloak revealing large eyes that were filled with total darkness. " The Shikon No Tama will come back into this world." He eyed to lord with total honesty and without a stutter.

The lord flinched back slightly at the look in the creatures eyes and the unbelievable statement this creature dared say to him face to face. " Do you wish to die creature? I don't know what you are and honestly I don't care at this point."

The creature continued to just stand as a strong gust of wind blew in from the outside" This is no riddle sire, I speak the truth. You must prepare your kingdom and search for the one who bares this jewel within them."

" Someone has that cursed thing inside of them?"

It nodded it's head" Indeed, this person will be in great danger with all the demons not to mention humans that seek out it's immense power. It may be difficult but you must find this person and make sure they do not fall into the wrong hands."

The Lord stood there seething as his body trembled with a deep growl, his eyes pierced the things that dare ask him to involve himself with a thing that caused so much agony and evil. "I will handle this dilemma as I see fit and will not allow another to command me as such."

"But you must, your son. . ."

" Shut that hole in your mouth before I shove my sword through it." The lord was taking small staggering steps towards the creature and it almost seemed like he was about to strike him down but instead he lifted his fisted hand and uncurled a finger to point to the door.

"Leave now, or die" he growled viciously

The creature began to emit an even brighter white glow as it slowly nodded it's head. " As you wish but let it be known this is not the last you will hear of the jewel." It almost seemed to levitate as the mysterious creature exited the castle grounds and faded into the surrounding forest.

Don't dismiss me you stubborn dog, your son is destined for greatness and strength and he will be the only one able to protect the jewel and the one who carries it within their fragile body.

End Flashback

"Lord Inutashio. . . what do you plan to do?" the flea noticed the distance look in his lords eyes and chanced a taste at his royally delicious blood.

-slap-

A large hand with lengthy claws came in contact with the flea on his neck. " God damn it Myouga control yourself!"

" But my lord. . . I couldn't resist your tempting blood."

"Bah! I've had enough of this foolishness." The angry dog demon swooshed out of the room he was in leaving a slightly buzzed flea smashed on the floor. " Ohh, such is the fate of a loyal flea."

Lord Inutashio walked the elegant halls of his massive castle. Small torches flickered on the walls providing a lighted path for the moody man that followed it, until reaching a staircase that was big in both width and length as it lead to another floor to the castle. He took a turn from the top and walked to a room at the end of the hall. There was only the faint light of a candle that twinkled from the room.

Inutashio leaned against the arch of the entryway and gazed upon the site before him. His mate, Izayoi, was lightly rocking and humming to their son InuYasha. He smiled when his mate looked up at him giving him a gentle smile. "Would you like to hold him?" He took one large step forward and held his arms out to cradle the little rascal into his arms. InuYasha made a little gurgling noise that almost resembled a soft growl.

He smirked as he swelled with pride at his sons show of authority. " That's my boy, just like his father."

Izayoi smiled again and tickled his cheek. InuYasha gave another gurgle and took her finger into his mouth and gave it a small nibble. She gave a small laugh as she felt his small fangs scrape at her finger in a harmless way. " Indeed, in more ways than one." she joked. Inutashio smirked " Hah, he's already got him a set of fangs."

" Oh but he is so gentle and sweet." Izayoi said as she stroked his short silver mane.

"Bah! I assure you Izayoi he won't be that way for long, soon he'll grow into a powerful, dangerous and deadly dog that will overpower his enemy's and protect what belongs to him."

Izayoi gave a slight nod but then frowned " Well yes, but deep down he will still have his sweet side."

Inutashio eyes her with slight passion and sighed "For his woman maybe."

She giggled and looked back at him "Well he does seem to be a lot like you, so I suppose you're right."

He smirked " Of course I'm right woman!" She just shook her head with another short giggle and got up to take InuYasha to his rather majestic crimson red crib that was etched with golden slash designs along the wooden edges.

Inutashio went to sit in a chair across from him and took in a deep breath and exhaled it in a very dramatic manner. He knew he should tell Izayoi, especially since he mentioned InuYasha. . .Why would that pitiful thing even mention my son, what did he have to do with the the jewel at all? He did mention something about the one who bared the jewel with them. Agh, what could all of this mean?

"Dearest? Does something trouble you? You seem tense darling." She came over and sat on his lap and stroked the jagged purple marks the were etched upon his cheekbones.

He sighed " During my council meeting a strange creature requested my presence."

She gave a confused look " What did he want?"

His chest rumbled from a deep growl " He didn't want anything, he told me that the Shikon No Tama was coming back into this world within someone."

She let a small gasp escape her mouth " But I was told the jewel was to disappear forever from this world when the powerful miko, Kikyou, burned the jewel with her body after she was killed by the Lord of The Southern Lands, Naraku."

Inutashio let the growl escape from his throat at the mention of Naraku. He and Naraku's kingdom were even more on edge than he was with the wolves of the northern lands or the humans of the eastern lands. Naraku ruled his empire with an iron fist full of evil and cruelty. He thought he would be able to possess even more power if he killed the miko and took the jewel from her protection. Too bad for him though because his plan fell through and her village managed to burn her body with the jewel before he could take the Shikon No Tama.

Inutashio sighed" Yes all of that is true, but for some reason it is returning in someone else's body."

Izayoi gave a weak nod " That poor thing, having to carry around such a dangerous and wanted jewel in their own body, they'll be killed!"

Izayoi turned when she heard a loud whimper come from her pup followed by even louder shrieking and crying. She got up from Inutashio's lap and tried to calm InuYasha by rocking him back and forth.

Inutashio frowned at the sudden outburst from his son, then something struck him "Damn, if a demon or human manages to kill the jewel barer they will be able to bring great despair upon this land. We must not let that happen."

"What will you do, my dearest?" she asked looking up from a still crying InuYasha.

" I must give this knowledge to my council and we will have to search for the one who carries the jewel . . . if they have even been born yet . . .damn." He shook his head " This might be harder than I thought."

Izayoi set InuYasha back into the crib and pulled a small blanket over him even though he was still softly whimpering then she walked over and embraced her mate. " It will be okay, I know it will be."

Inutashio let his arms come around her waist and rested his cheek on the top of her head as he embraced her back in a tight hug. " I hope so."
