Disclaimer: I do not own Inu Yasha, or any other charactors used in this story. As for the name of Koga's dad, I own that. I came up with it in science class today cause I was bored. Any other charactors not in the origional manga or television show are mine unless otherwise noted. Thank you.

Chapter One- Banned Forever and Permanent Death.

Koga was five human years when his mother died. The mystery of his life was the reason why his mother was killed. All that the young wolf knew was that the main family of wolf youkai were the enemy. They were the murderers of his mother, along with every other female in Koga's dad's tribe. Gruesome acts of violence changed a tribe of one hundred fifty to thirty members in a matter of hours. The events of that day are as clear now, a year later, as they were when they occurred.

"Dad," Koga sniffled as he wiped the blood from his face. Even watching from the trees drenched him in the warm, sticky liquid. It disgusted him. "Daddy."

He walked up to where his father was. The great leader and father Koga always new was now hunched over a bloody corpse; crying as if nothing else mattered. The only thought that the young youkai had was whether or not his mother would make it.

"Korengo," A booming voice addressed the elder youkai. He looked up, only to be met with cold, emotionless eyes. "You and what remains of your tribe are banned from ever coming back to the main land. Get out, filth." While saying this, Korengo glanced at the survivors, if you could call them that. Their skin was pale from blood loss and shattered bones were evident in the way their appendages and limbs hung loosely. Seeing as to how his job here was done, the Lord of Wolfs turned, his allies instantly by his side, and left the remaining youkai struggling to escape the pool of blood.

Upon seeing his mother's limp, lifeless body cradles in his father's arms, Koga let silent tears stream down his face. The stench of fresh blood engulfed his senses. He had to get out, get away from the depressing scene of men digging holes and cold, dead bodies being dragged into it. The young youkai couldn't stand it.

"Dad," He swallowed audibly, more tears staining his face. "Come on." Koga wasn't sure where he wanted to go. 'Just as long as it's away from here,' he thought.

Korengo nodded slowly and stood, lifting the body with him. He walked a few paces and came to the hole, halfway filled with bodies. Koga's mother was placed as neatly as possible on top of the other female figures. Quickly, the hole was filled with dirt, covering all that remained of the female majority of the tribe. Koga and Korengo turned to face the rest of the tribe, all standing at the edge of the forest, waiting for their leader.

Koga looked at his father. Korengo had lost much that day, a mate and half of his tribe, his pride severely wounded, and his soul. When his mate died, she took most of his soul with her. He vowed he would never love again. As the other members of the tribe found new females in other tribes as they traveled, Korengo had not once tried to mate with any one. Koga hated his father like this, all sad and depressed. He had to find a mate for his father, be it wolf demon or other wise.

So, Koga had a quest. He had to fulfill it, to make his father happy again, to see the life brought back. Maybe, if he mated, and had another pup, he would be a father all over again. Koga's hope grew and grew. He would find someone to make his father happy. He knew what his father liked, because he, Koga, was just like him. 'This will be difficult, but I will find someone. I promise, Father.'
