"But I don't need a new mother!", a young boy only the age of six screamed at his father.
His Mother had died in a care accident a year ago when she was coming on her way home from work.
The father got down in his knees so he could look the boy straight in the eyes, he then placed his hand on the boy's shoulder in comfort.
He said to his son, "Inuyasha, your brother Sesshomaru went through the same thing before you came along and he ended up loving Izayoi just like his mother Inukimi. So you might actually like her, but you have to try."
Inuyasha cried mumbling, "Ok, dad."
Inuyasha's father smirked and picked up the boy in a cheerful manner saying, "That's my boy!"
Ding, the doorbell rang as the boy's father called Sesshomaru to meet them at the front door. Sesshomaru is seventeen and is about to go off to college soon, like his father and brother he has long silver hair and amber eyes.
Inuyasha twitched his dog ears as his father put him down, will she be human like his mother or demon like his father.
His father opened the door as Sesshomaru joined in from the other room, she was a black dog demon with long black hair, purple eyes, and fair skin. In other words she looked stunning as she spoke to the boys' dad, "Hello Tashio, are these your children you were talking about?"
Tashio nooded and introduced the two standing next to him, "Howdy Eileen, and yes they are. The older boy here is sesshomaru, and this little fluff of cuteness is Inuyasha."
Inuyasha shouted, "Dad!", in embarrassment as the two adults started to laugh at the young boy's reaction.
"Sesshomaru, come help me prepare dinner so Inuyasha can spend time with you two's new mother.", Tashio commanded his eldest.
Soon they both left as Inuyasha approached the woman shyly with a faint, "Hello."
Eileen then switched from a nice happy new mother to someone more dark and sinister in a instance as she glared at Inuyasha, "Listen up brat, I'm only playing the role as mother so I can be with your father. If you get in my way to your father's heart I will beat you to a pulp, understand?"
Inuyasha gulp and nodded, what has he gotten himself into?
Taisho then called, "Dinner, you two!".
Eileen then answered back in a cheery, "Yes dear!"
Soon they both went to the dinner table while Inuyasha gave a nervous and confused expression at the threat.
After dinner Inuyasha decided to pull his dad aside for a moment and said, "Dad, I don't like Eileen.", then described the threat she made.
Taisho yelled at him, "Inuyasha, what is wrong with you!? Telling lies about your new mom, how disgusting!"
Inuyasha tried to say, "But dad.", before his father interrupted him and sent him to his room.
The boy ran with tears to his bedroom as he slammed his door, why was everyone suddenly being mean to him? He did nothing wrong!
Inuyasha jumped onto his bed as he cried into his pillow, why him?
He soon went into a land of dreams as he cried himself to sleep.
Inuyasha slowly opened his eyes as he heard his door creek open. He soon spotted his step mother in his room as he sat up and asked,"What?", sleepily.
Suddenly Eileen yanked Inuyasha by the arm harshley as she lead him to the shed.
Inuyasha whimpered in pain as he asked, "What's wrong?"
Eileen threw Inuyasha into the shed as she said, "You.", coldly.
Soon she closed the shed door behind her as she glared angrily at Inuyasha and she said, "You told tashio about our little conversation. You shouldn't have done that, brat. You will be punished for things like this, and tonight I will give you a taste of what it feels to be truly punished"
She then knead Inuyasha in the gut as she started kicking and hitting the six year old.
She soon asked in a cruel voice, "Now you won't tell your father any of this or I'll make it worse, understand?", as she yanked the boy's head up by his hair.
"Stop!", the boy screamed as she continued. She then decided, "No screaming brat, You need something more than a beating, I got it! I'll cut that pretty hair off your little pretty head."
She laughed as Inuyasha screamed and cried as the woman grabbed some scissors' and approached the boy.
Inuyasha would have tried to run if he could move but his half demon body was too exhausted to move from the beating. The last thing he remembered was her approaching him with the scissors before he blacked out from the pain.
Sun shined brightly on the boy through the shed window as he slowly groaned awake, what time was it?
He looked around the shed as memories started coming back to him, afraid that she'll come back in beat him even more he held back his tears and whimpers as he gazed at the locks of silver hair on the floor.
It wasn't that he liked his hair so much, It was because his long silver hair was something that connected him to his brother and father, it was almost like a family tradition.
Inuyasha found a old mirror and studied his new appearance, his wounds had all healed up because of his demon blood and his hair now reached half way down his neck, it was all even in length.
His father and brother would most likely be mad and ask him how this happened, and the worst part is he can't even answer them or he'd get beaten all over again.
He was starting to fear and despise his new mother, speaking of which he needed to get out of this shed or he'd be late to breakfast.
Inuyasha then ran outside the shed and inside his family's pretty decent size house. He slammed the door open and ran through the living room to the kitchen where his whole entire family ate.
Tashio looked down from his paper to greet Inuyasha, but before he could say anything he got a good look at Inuyasha's new hair style.
The man gasped and got up in surprise before saying in a shocked voice, "What in the world happened to your long hair!?"
Inuyasha hid his eyes behind his bangs as he remained silent, he just didn't want to go through that again.
Eileen butted in and said, "Don't worry about him, Tashio. I'll handle it, besides I happen to like his new look."
Tashio nodded as he grabbed his lunch from his wife and said, "Ok, if your sure you can handle it", as he left to go to work.
Not long after Sesshomaru left too, to go to highschool as Eileen made breakfast for Inuyasha. When Eileen heard the door shut she turned off the stove and threw the material away as Inuyasha's stomach growled loudly.
She then turned to the boy and said evilly, "What, hungry? Sorry, but after that incident last night you don't deserve to eat."
Inuyasha's eyes went down sadly as his body shivered unconsciously from her chilly glare.
He soon got up to leave when Eileen asked, "Where do you think your going?"
Inuyasha answered back, "Um, school?", with confusion written all over his face.
Eileen laughed, "A half breed like you doesn't belong in school, they belong on the streets! But since Tashio insist on having you here, I'll just have to put you to work."
"But I need to go to school!", Inuyasha yelled like she was crazy.
Eileen slapped Inuyasha hard against the face, "I am your mother now and you will obey me and do as I say! You will go out and either find a job and earn money or somehow find another way to find some while I call your school and say that you will be homeschooled from now on! You will not be allowed inside or near this house till you've collect enough money and present it to me! I don't care if it's storming or real late, understand?"
Inuyasha eyes widened in fear as he nodded as his mother said, "Now go!"
He soon bolted out of the house and in the opposite direction of the school bus towards town.
Inuyasha kicked a old soda can in anger at his mother for this, it has been a few hours since he left the house and it was now mid morning.
"How am I supposed to get a job!? Not even Sesshomaru has a job yet!", Inuyasha yelled to himself.
After some more walking he spotted a old alleyway with several dumpsters and trash cans. He shivered as he said grossed out, "I guess I have no choice." soon he opened up one of the trashcans and started to dig through it.
After a few hours of digging through dirty trash cans and dumpsters around town, Inuyasha managed to come up with five dirty dollars. It wasn't enough, Inuyasha landed on his knees in defeat. He had search the trash cans all over the town all he could without being caught, he had search everywhere except the park.
It's decided then, he'll go to the park and search there.
He then went as fast as his feet could carry him to where to park is.
When he got there he started to remembered clearly that his mother and father used to take him here all the time before His mother died, so he was very familiar with the whole entire park. So he went to all the places he remembered where there was trash cans and possible spots people could drop change.
It was sometime in the afternoon when Inuyasha had finally searched the entire park for money when he slide down behind a old garbage dumpster and ate a half finished sandwich he found somewhere because it was better than nothing.
He almost screamed, "Why is finding money such a hard job!"
He felt upset, at this rate it will be days before he could return home.
Inuyasha eyes gave off a knowing look in his eyes, he wouldn't cry. He felt so much older even though it's only been a day with his step mother.
He remembered a old lullabye his mother would sing to him whenever he was upset and started to sing it to cheer himself up.
Clapping could be heard as a older man praised Inuyasha's singing.
Inuyasha turned to face the man shocked as he stumbled and fell in fear.
The man then reached his hand palm up to the boy in a friendly gesture, "I come in peace, your looking for money right? Sorry I happened to over hear your earlier, and boy do I have a offer for you."
