***I do not own InuYasha or any affiliated characters***
****since re-watching the entire anime (I have no life lol) I felt inclined toward telling a story of InuPapa. I am in no way an expert, nor do I claim to be, this story is only my own imaginings. This particular one has been rattling around my head yelling to be set free. And so we begin****
~Begin~
With eyes the color of the newly risen sun, he looked at the world, full of life and full of want.
With his heart full of earnest curiosity he looked at what could be.
He watched, and he learned.
Watched the massive forms of his parents and learned that they were powerful.
Watched as they fought, learning their patterns of destruction.
Watched as they hunted, learning their ways of stalking and killing prey.
Watched as they killed, learning that they mauled where he would want a clean cut.
Watched the small humans, learning that they would try, without avail, to fight the mighty power of his kind.
He learned.
He learned that he was Toga, watching as his pack grew.
He learned that his father was to be feared, watching as he mercilessly took down any who rose to defy him.
He learned that his mother was wise, watching as she became the opposite of her mate.
He learned that life was full of death, watching as father dealt out death and mother protected life.
He learned that death was his to deal out alongside his parent, watching as the world cowered before their feet.
He learned that he found little joy in it, watching offered only pain as he wished the world was not such a duality of life and death.
He learned that he was different from them, watching the way he felt, guarding the way he let it show.
He learned that, as the sea was different from the earth, he was different from those who called him son.
