A/N: Alright I'm back again! After the Naraku stories I did, I am finally doing its prequel. The back history of Inutaisho and Izayoi. Inutaisho and Izayoi meet is part one. The swords still talk, I kept that the same. Alright on with the story! Oh by the way, Sesshomaru does not become cold hearted until later on when some one dies.
Chapter 1 : Departure and Meeting
"Inutaisho come here!" Sahara hollered.
"What is it Sahara? I'm busy at the moment." Inutaisho came out of his office and looked at his mate.
"This note is not acceptable!" She yelled at him.
"It's not?" He questioned her.
"No! I will not have another pup, let alone another son just so that you can pass along your swords to Belladonna, Sesshomaru and whatever the name was!" Sahara was beyond mad. Inutaisho had left a note for her, in her room.
"Inuyasha." He corrected her.
"Yes exactly Inuyasha!"
"Sahara your tone is not acceptable. Sesshomaru is only eight years old, and he is trying to sleep." He retorted.
"Oh so you are worried about your son, eh? What about Belladonna? She has her eyes set on becoming the Eastern Lady!" Sahara's voice raised a tad bit.
"She wants to mate with Sai?"
"Yes she does! You probably don't even know what he name means or what she looks like!" Inutaisho had never seen Belladonna before.
"Her name means deadly nightshade and she looks like me."
"How do you know she looks like you?" Sahara was surprised.
"Cause she is standing right behind you." Sahara turned and there stood Belladonna.
"Belladonna! You should be sleeping!" Sahara said in a motherly tone.
"Well how can anyone sleep with all the ruckus you two are making!" Belladonna's voice was a little loud.
"Sesshy didn't wake did he?" Sahara called Sesshomaru: Sesshy.
"No I believe Fluffy is still sleeping."
"I'm awake." A very groggy looking Sesshomaru came into view. He looked like he could pass out any minute.

Down in the western village, a party was being held. Today was Lady Izayoi's birthday. She had been hearing people congratulating her for the past five days. The village always threw a festival, and then on the fifth day they celebrated her birthday. This was her fifteenth birthday. Izayoi then saw Takemaru, her childhood friend.
"Lady Izayoi may I speak to you?"
"Of course you may my friend." They walked a little ways from the village.
"My lady, I am worried for your safety."
"My safety?"
"Yes. They say that the Western Lord can be quite dangerous. That he-" Izayoi cut him off at that moment. Ever since he found out that she had an interest in meeting the Western Lord he was always talking about her moving to his mansion with him so she could be safe.
"Takemaru I am quite sure I am safe within my own village." She walked away from Takemaru and back to her party.

"Sahara for all I care you can leave!" Inutaisho bellowed. He was having enough of this fight.
"Inutaisho I never said I was leaving! I said I wasn't going to bear you another son!" Belladonna sighed. 'This is depressing.'
"But you making it sound as though your leaving!" Inutaisho pressed.
"Fine I'll leave then! And I'm taking Belladonna with me! Go and find another mate Inutaisho Lord of the Dumb Western Lands! Belladonna come." Belladonna walked over by her father.
"If I hear that Fluffy has been harmed and you weren't there to stop it, I will hunt you down and kill you with my own claws!" With that said, she turned around and left with Sahara. Which they both didn't know would actually be the last time they ever spoke to him.
"Dad? Is mom and Belladonna going to ever come back?" Sesshomaru who was only eight years old at the time did not understand that Sahara and Belladonna left forever.
"They might. In 200 years from now." 'And by then you will be an adult.'
"Oh. I'm going back to sleep now."
"Sesshomaru."
"Yes dad?"
"Good night son."
"Good night." Sesshomaru walked back to his room. Inutaisho went outside and transformed into his true form, a giant demon dog.

"Lady Izayoi! Demons are coming, you must run!" One of the villagers yelled.
"No! I will lure them away from the village!" She mounted her horse and rode into the forest. In the middle of the forest, Izayoi was attacked by cat demons.
"A human. Human blood is always delicious." Izayoi screamed upon hearing the cat demons saying that. In the distance they heard a roar.
Xxx
Inutaisho heard a woman scream. A human nonetheless. So he roared and went charging after the source of the sound. When he found her two cat demons were surrounding her. He spoke out loud as a dog.
"Cat demons! Why are you in my territory!" His voice normally deep and warm, was deep and threatening.
"Great dog demon? This is your territory? We will take our snack elsewhere then." Inutaisho growled at them when they said that.
"Leave the human! She belongs to me!" 'What am I saying? She does not! At least I can protect her this one night. On the night of the New moon.' Izayoi stared at him and thought 'So he is saving me? Sounds more like he is going to eat me!'
"No dog demon. She is not yours, but ours. We found her first!" The cats hissed at him.
"Then on the night of the New moon, you will die!" He roared and attacked the cat demons. He was being very careful not to step on Izayoi. A few moments later and the cats were dead. Inutaisho looked at Izayoi. 'Why isn't she afraid of me? She's looking at me as though she's known me her whole life. Why?' Izayoi walked over to the giant dog demon. 'He isn't like the other demons I've seen. Always tearing humans apart, but he…he protected me. Why?' She touched his left front leg.
"Thank you for saving me." Izayoi noticed that he was looking at her, so she stared right into his blood red eyes, with the blue as the irises (note: irises I believe are the color part of an eye. Ex: the gold eye color on the dog demons.).
"Human what is your name?" The demon asked Izayoi.
"Izayoi."
"Izayoi, I am Inu…" he stopped. 'Someone is coming.' He started growling and Izayoi gasped. An arrow had struck the dog demon in the side. He barked out loud. Then looked at the human who fired it. Izayoi gasped again when she followed his gaze.
"Takemaru! Why did you shoot him!" Izayoi yelled at Takemaru.
"Lady Izayoi that is the Western lord I told you about." Takemaru stated simply.
"He saved me from those cat demons! He-" That's when Izayoi felt a hand on her shoulder and saw Takemaru's eyes widen.
"Izayoi that's enough. I can stand up for myself." She turned around to look at him. There stood a man with long silver hair pulled into a pony tail, warm gold eyes, purple markings, three swords, and the warmest voice she had ever heard.
"Are you the dog?" She didn't know what to think. One moment there was a dog demon behind her. Now there was a gorgeous man behind her!
"Yes. As I was saying Izayoi, I am Inutaisho the lord of the Western Lands and the Great Dog demon. As for you Takemaru of Setsuna, yes I know who you are. You shot at my daughter, Belladonna last year. Why?" His eyes for a moment there glowed red when he remembered how bloody Belladonna looked when she came home.
"She is a demon. I despise all demons and the humans who mingle with them to create half-demons." Takemaru stated as if it was a well known fact.
"I can assure you our paths will meet again Takemaru of Setsuna and maybe next time I'll bring along Sesshomaru. Even though he has never met you, he hates you."
"Then I look forward to our next meeting Lord Inutaisho." Takemaru then left.
"Lord Inutaisho I am sorry about him. Please for-" Inutaisho silenced her with a glare.
"Forgive him? Why should I forgive him? He killed my mother, almost killed my daughter, he has killed some of my demons, and today he just shot me. Tell me Lady Izayoi, why should I forgive him?" He raised an eyebrow, waiting for an answer.
"I don't know." Inutaisho sniffed the air.
"You should get back. A storm is brewing." Inutaisho started walking away.
"When will I see you again?" Izayoi called after him hopefully.
"You won't." He transformed and ran off leaving Izayoi alone in the forest. She then thought 'Strange this is my first time seeing him and I think I'm already in love with him. If we are meant for each other Inutaisho, fate will bring us together again.' Izayoi then walked back to her village.

Alright this was just chapter one. Ok I know people don't fall in love THAT fast, but Izayoi just falls in love at first sight. That can happen by the way. I am going to clarify something about the swords. They do not have genders, but Tetsusaiga and Tensaiga have female voices ok? Sounga has a male voice. I think in chapter 3 or 2, the one that will be called "Starting to Embrace his fate" will be when the swords start to talk. Alright review. Remember this is the prequel to After Naraku's death.
