DISCLAIMER! I OWN NOT INUYASHA!
Sorrow
Prologue – Escape and Retreat
"Inuyasha,"
I looked up at my love, "The child shall be called Inuyasha."
I looked down at my child, "Inuyasha...." He gripped the sword tighter, "Now go!"
"Yes!" I turned around and ran, wrapping the Robe of the Fire-rat tighter around me and Inuyasha.
I felt the chill of the snow as we made it out of the manor. Inuyasha's cries echoing through the woods.
I turned and watched the manor, hoping to see InuTaisho leap out of the flames and approach us.
To my dismay, the roof collapsed and I could have sworn I heard him say, "Live a long life, live long and well with Inuyasha.

After many hours of travel, I came across a small village. The people seemed quite peaceful, I approached them slowly.
Tucking Inuyasha tightly in my robes, I made my way over to the men, "Excuse me, could you show me the headman's home?"
The pointed up a hill at a large hut. I nodded my thanks and made my way up the hill.
I came upon the hut and slowly came to the door, knocking on the wall. An elderly man walked out and looked me over.
He ushered me in and smiled. I walked in and looked around, it was a pleasant hut suited for one.
"By all means milady, sit." I accepted and sat against the wall. Inuyasha stirred and let out a low whimper.
I sighed and looked up the headman, "I have a child, a half-demon child, but he is but an infant, I have no where else to go."
He continued to stare, waiting for more, "He will be taught to behave and he will not be a nuisance, I promise that. He will bring no harm to the villagers in the near future."
The headman nodded curtly, "There is an abandoned hut on the outskirts of the village, hopefully that will please the villagers that a half-breed is a good distance from them."
I flinched at the mention of half-breed. I stood and thanked him. He placed a hand on my shoulder, "Your name milady?"
I turned my head slightly, "Izayoi."
