Ch 1: Inuyasha Transforms
It all began with Kagome, Kikyo's incarnation, who began her trip in the feudal Japan to gather the sacred jewel shards of the Shikon no tama which she shattered by mistake. Along their way, they meet new friends, and gained new enemies. But one of those enemies, despite being the closest to Inuyasha, did not have anything towards him but pure hatred.
Seeking the Tessaiga, he attempted many attacks and plans, yet the katana always rejected him. Until one night, when the battle became too hard, and the katana was away from Inuyasha...
Sesshomaru picked a strange scent in the air, knowing not how his half brother had such a scent. 'How? How does he have the same blood like father and me?' he sunk in thoughts, as the transformed Inuyasha attacked with his claws. His eyes were red, fangs fully visible barely fitting in his mouth, and purple stripes on the sides of his cheeks. Inuyasha acted out of pure instincts, rushing off without feeling pain from anything Sesshomaru charged at him with, 'he's not even thinking, he's just attacking...'
Miyoga got out of his hideout and rushed to Kagome. "You must get Tessaiga to him; otherwise he will continue to fight until he is killed."
-"What's happening to him? Why does he look...like that?" Kagome asked with flowing tears, trying to catch Inuyasha's attention. Yet, the two continued to fight, ignoring her and her friends.
-"Inuyasha is not himself now" said the old flee, as Sesshomaru had sharp ears, he could hear very clearly. "Seeing he is in danger, his youkai blood pushed forward, he is now a youkai and not a hanyou. If we do not return Tessaiga to him now, his youkai blood will stay in control. He won't stop until he kills everyone and gets killed"
Shippo listened in fear. "Kills everyone?" he trembled. "Kagome, we need to get Tessaiga to him" and the girl went to them, however, Inuyasha jumped and landed away from her. A sort of dog voice, she feared he would attack her. And off, Inuyasha went, to her, claws in the air ready to run them in her skin.
Miroku stepped forward, using his spells and tossed them towards Inuyasha to seal his powers. Inuyasha however, dodged them and landed down, his eyes discriminating nothing, he only stepped away once Kagome approached with the katana. His youkai blood, felt the katana wanted to suppress it, and instinctly Inuyasha backed away, still intending to strike.
"Hiraikotsu" a loud voice echoed in the forest.
Inuyasha jumped, and the Hiraikotsu returned to Sango. Inuyasha saw her, and charged at her, only to have Sesshomaru appear before him.
-"Don't turn your back on your enemy, Inuyasha!" and he charged with poison claws, making countless scratches on his half brother's face and body, however, Inuyasha did not submit to pain and charged at him again, ignoring the blood coming from his wounds, he kept fighting.
Seeing it to be useless, he found no other choice. 'I'll have to knock him back to his senses.' And he transformed, into a giant white demon dog.
-"Sesshomaru don't! Please!" shouted Kagome from below, yet only to be ignored by the giant youkai.
He attacked, aiming to bite off Inuyasha's hand, only to receive a large scratch to his chest. Inuyasha jumped high, using blades of blood and lunched his little attack on the white dog. Outraged, Sesshomaru attacked again. The fight was useless, running around the same point, and with their tempers, no one would win. Now was the chance, he increased the doze, showing that Hanyou that mere youkai blood would not make him up to his rank. He bit him, and threw Inuyasha hard to a mountain.
The later, to his knees, rose barely standing, eyes always red full of hate, full of beast like looks. His teeth got longer, his claws got pointier, and he began to grow in size.
Kagome, Miroku, Shippo and Sango, stood amazed. Inuyasha was engulfed by light, and a ball got out to the mid of air and transformed. Two large paws appeared from the light, revealing a giant white Inuyasha. His size a jot smaller than his brother, yet they were identical in shape yet different in power.
-"No way!" Jaken said, hiding behind Shippo. "He can't transform to that!"
-"Are you blind, Jaken? Don't you see that he already did?" Shippo bid with half eyes and ironic voice. "How did he do that?"
-"Oii Minna"
-"Totosai!" Said the three humans, "why are you here?" but the old man ignored them and charged forward to the huge dogs, starting a fire line between both.
-"Sesshomaru, at least you, I can reason with now" he said, ignoring the smaller youkai. "You must stop Inuyasha before he hurts anyone. You must"
Sesshomaru stood there, his eyes focused on Inuyasha. He knew not how his half brother could do such a thing, but he was more concentrated on something else. 'Stop him, you say? Don't make me laugh!' and he charged at his brother, biting him from his neck. He howled, and the smaller one calmed for a second. Their red eyes solo speaking, Sesshomaru attacked. Inuyasha fell down, blood running down as he still tried to stand on all four. Sesshomaru didn't acted, watching how his brother refused defeat. 'So he will keep on fighting then? I have to stop him, one way or another' this time, he attached with his teeth carrying poison straight ahead and bit hard into Inuyasha's flesh.
Inuyasha to that, passed out, and thus...
-"He's reverting...back to normal...almost" said Sango with stunned eyes. The light disappeared and hanyou Inuyasha fell hard to the ground, half alive. His eyes still red, Sesshomaru, in his true youkai form, approached the unconscious hanyou. The ground trembled as he walked forth, Kagome was worried and crying, she ran and stood to protect Inuyasha from him.
-"Stay away!" she prepared her arrow to strike, yet Sesshomaru reverted to human form, walked passed her to the boy bleeding to death on the ground. He took the boy amid his arms, and walked away. "Give him back" she ran towards him, but his eyes turned red and he growled at her. She freaked, and stuck at place.
-"Pitiful humans" he said, "I am taking him home" and Kagome stood with confusion in her eyes, as he called for Jaken to leave. They flew high until no one could see them.
-"What just happened?" Said Shippo looking up, "was it just me, or Inuyasha transformed to a true youkai?"
-"No, little one" said Totosai. "I saw it too. Inuyasha's youkai blood took control enough to cancel his human blood. We have to go to their place, and use it to revert his transformation before there is no human blood left in him."
Meanwhile, at the fortress far away, a white haired female youkai caught a familiar sent in the wind. She got up and walked towards the gate. "Sesshomaru?" she said surprised, seeing the boy in his hands, and the wounds inflicted on both of them. "What happened?" she said with half dead expressions, pushing her worries away. She quickly caught the scent of that unconscious boy, and did not hide it in her face. Her son said nothing to ease her concern, only allowed her to anticipate why he came to her now of all times. She approached; taking a closer look, then spoke. "Follow me, and we will deal with this"
They walked to a concealed room, where she asked him to lay the hanyou down. He stood beside him, as he watched her bestow a liquid. She wetted a garment then applied the liquid to his wounds. "I don't understand the situation, but this youkai...carries your father's blood. How is that?"
Sesshomaru said nothing for a moment, "He is Inuyasha, my half brother"
-"I get that part, but look at his face. Those eyes and ears are not those of a hanyou." She watched the pointy youkai ears behind those thick long strands of hair, purple stripes on his face. His half open eyes were not red anymore, yet the golden color remained. "How is it possible, for him to turn into a true youkai?"
-"Mother, earlier, Inuyasha took the form of a dog, a huge one like you and me"
With her eyes wide open, she spoke: "No way!"
-"I have seen it," he said with a void voice, "as other have. The one who forged Tessaiga, Totosai, said that Inuyasha's youkai blood took over, in order to protect him. But, he is not himself, he fights out of instincts, and did not discriminate between his friends and me."
-"I understand now" she said and walked a step away. "So it seems, in order to protect him, he transformed into a true youkai. But then, if that is the case, he is no longer a hanyou" she said as his expressions remained dead. "Your half brother is one of us now, sharing our same blood. And you know what that means, don't you, Sesshomaru?"
He said nothing, only reverted his sight towards the boy. "Yes" he said.
-"Even Tessaiga cannot revert him to normal now" she said as she caught his interest. "The Tessaiga repels every youkai, and he is one now. Before, it allowed him to use it, because he had human blood in him. Now, the situation is different, and I myself do not know how he will be once he wakes, whether sane or beast, he has to stay down for few days." She transformed taking her true form, approaching Inuyasha, she sat down. She needed not to speak, he approved and left her to guard his half brother, as he went to rest and recover. A day later, he returned, seeing his brother still out cold and his mother beside him, he walked slowly towards the two.
She opened her eyes, yet stayed down in her position, he minded not only watching Inuyasha. This was the last thing he would ever think of, and he spent the last day thinking of what he will do starting from today.

-"We'll never be able to find him" cried Shippo. "He's probably dead by now"
-"He's not, I am sure of it" said Kagome and she leaned down to the little fox. "Besides, Sesshomaru didn't seem like he was going to kill him. Yet at least. We need to locate them quickly"
-"We always counted on Inuyasha to sniff out for others, who will sniff him out?"
-"I think I got an idea, Miroku" she said smiling and rushed out of the village, straight to the forest, she felt the jewel shards. "Koga-kun, Koga-kun!"
A swirling tornado approached quickly, and the wolf boy caught her hand and rested one foot to the ground. "Kagome" his eyes were fair and glade. "What can I do for you today?"
-"I want you to find Inuyasha"
He fell to the ground, head first. He got up quickly, "Why would I find that mutt? Wait, why are you looking for hi-" then he noticed her tired eyes and weary face. "What happened, Kagome?"
-"I will explain later, but please, we need your help to find him. Please, forget about me now, he is in danger, life threatening danger" and his eyes seemed focused. "Can you..?"
-"Of course, but I will only do it because you asked" and he approached her. "I'll carry you to the village" and off they went, like the wind. The others quickly joined them and off they set tracing Inuyasha's sent. "That place is off limits" he said, his scent stops at...well, we'll need special help to get to that place above, and lucky you that I know someone who can take us there"
-"Arigato Koga-kun" Kagome hugged him and he blushed. "Off we go!" she said and they continued. 'Hang in there Inuyasha; we are coming for you, stay alive for me, please!'
After few days passed, they arrived before a vast castle. Mist and fog surrounding the place, there were no guards, and the place was dark. They walked slowly reaching the scent of the hanyou, as they stopped before the stairs. They walked until it ended, and there was a large gate. Koga pushed the door open, seeing nothing inside. "His scent goes deep" he said, and Kagome approached.
They walked and walked for another ten minutes, as the hallway would never end, but before they began to doubt their destination, Koga said Inuyasha was ahead. There was a tall door in front of them, and as they entered through the crack as it was not sealed, they saw something big and white, asleep.
Shippo quickly got on Kagome's shoulder, hiding his head behind hers. "We're done for!"
-"Is that, Sesshomaru?" Said Sango attempting to approach it.
-"Nope" said Koga, "Its scent is different from that dog." Then he jumped away, "he's here"
Sesshomaru, in human form, stepped out of the darkness. "What brings you here?" he said with dead expression. "No humans are allowed in here, leave before I kill you all"
-"Where is Inuyasha?" Kagome said, serious.
-"Do not even try" he said dry. "Inuyasha is staying here, now be gone" and he turned to leave.
-"You" Koga said, now in front of Kagome. "Hand the mutt over or I will have to hurt you"
-"Shut your mouth wolf!" said Jaken, entering from the door behind Sesshomaru. "A lowly youkai like you is no match to Sesshomaru-sama. Leave before none of you live through tonight"
-"We're not afraid of you Jaken_" then Shippo hid behind Sango, shivering. "It's awake!"
Sesshomaru watched the white dog get up, revealing an unconscious Inuyasha lying lifeless on a bench made of stone, little blood dripping down.
-"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted about to rush to him, but the huge dog landed its paw in front of her, averting her from proceeding. "Move you giant dog! Let me through!"
The giant dog growled at the un-welcomed visitors, Sesshomaru however, stayed silent. "I will deal with them, mother"
Hearts stopped, faces turned yellow, at least for Miroku and Kagome. Sango and Koga remained in attack positions. "That's...his mother!" she swallowed it. Sesshomaru's mother freckled the tears at the edges of the young girl's eyes, and un-transformed. Kagome stood amazed, seeing the silver haired woman, 'she's...beautiful'
-"If you humans, fox and wolf, understand what is best for you, leave this place. This is not a place for the living, be gone" the mother spoke.
-"Like mother like son" murmured Miroku.
-"We're not leaving without Inuyasha" shouted Shippo
The woman glared the fox child, and he hid behind Miroku. "That boy is going nowhere. He is staying here"
-"You can-"
-"Human girl, listen well. That boy is part youkai, now full youkai, however, he is one of us, and we do not turn our backs on each other"
-"Enough with the foolishness" said Kagome; "No one ever accepted Inuyasha before, so why act like best friends now?" the youkai looked at her. "What about you, Sesshomaru? Didn't you try to kill him many times before? Now you consider him your brother just because his youkai blood stepped forward? Don't mess with me! He's coming with us whether you like it or not. We're not his friends by convenience; we're his true friends, family too. I won't say it again!"
-"Foolish girl" said the eldest brother. "If he returns with you now, he will die. And as a youkai from the netherworld, this is where he gains his strength, and outside, he is vulnerable against any youkai at his current condition"
'Is it just me, or he cares for Inuyasha? It's like he is worried about him' Kagome thought for a moment. 'He is! No matter how dry his face is, he always came whenever he was needed. He could have killed Inuyasha years ago, but he didn't. Deep down, he does care for him'
-"Fine"
All eyes struck Kagome, "But, when he is healed, he is coming back with us." And she approached Sesshomaru, having the Tessaiga in her hand and rested it on the ground. "Hopefully, Tessaiga might still have an effect on him; use it to revert his transformation"
Sesshomaru looked at the katana before his feet. "It will not work, he's already a youkai"
-"That is not true" Totosai stepped forward. "Inuyasha still has a bit left of his human blood, and Tessaiga can still be of use to him even now. It's your father's fang, Tessaiga has always guided Inuyasha. I am sure it will overlook the fact that his youkai blood has suppressed his human blood."
-"Are you a foo-" The imp said.
-"Little youkai,"
-"My name is Jaken!" he shouted feeling offended.
Totosai ignored him and proceeded. "I forged Tessaiga, and no one knows it better than me. When I say Tessaiga will over look it, then it will happen. Inu no Taicho's soul lives in that katana, and has always stood by Inuyasha's side. I don't think for a second that he will abandon his own son because of the youkai blood. Now, it's true that Tessaiga will always repel other youkais, but Inuyasha is the only exception to that, no matter which blood he has"
Sesshomaru listened to those words, whether surprised or expected to hear that, he knew Tessaiga was handed to his half brother, and perhaps for that half nature of Inuyasha, his father saw it best that he would carry that sword. 'Inuyasha is weak, and the Tessaiga protects him' he thought. 'No matter what your reasons were, father, Inuyasha still does not know how to use the weapon you choose for him'
A light shown, from the katana. "Sesshomaru, I suppose that is the answer to your question." Said Totosai. He walked towards Inuyasha, seeing neither Sesshomaru nor his mother tried to stop him. He approached him watching. 'She used her power to heal some of his wounds' he thought. 'But as long as he looks like that, and the longer it takes for him to wake, the more difficult things will become.' He focused his sight, on the stripes and pointy youkai ears, 'he does look like his father in that form, well, I hope you stand beside him now, Inu no Taicho' and he walked away. "We should leave now" and he received a hit from Kagome. "Usually, I receive those from Inuyasha, but I will overlook it since it's you." And Kagome blushed. "There is nothing we can do now, it remains on Inuyasha himself. You heard what his brother said; Inuyasha must stay here for some time"
Kagome, worried, forced herself to accept. Knowing that Sesshomaru did not intend to hurt Inuyasha now, she felt at easy knowing he would protect him too.
