Chapter 1: Hold Me Now- InuTaisho and Izayoi

Chaos was a sure thing in the warring era of Japan. Battles grew long and devastated the dreary lands of humans and demons alike. There wasn't much room for love and trust in such a time. But as natural as the sun rising and falling each day, there was a stroke of happiness among the bleak lands and it happened as the great dog demon led his troops into the villages below their territory.

Villagers were scrambling about as they saw the hungry eyes of the great dogs approaching. The great dog demon ran along with the pack getting closer to what looked like a very wealthy village. The dogs separated to rampage the village sending people screaming and running for their lives. The demon leader, InuTaisho, still in his demon form, stopped at the castle and walked casually to it, snapping at guards who were bravely warning him leave with spears and yells. Suddenly from the castle, the young princess ran to see what was going on outside.

"Princess, hurry back inside please, before the demon attacks you," yelled a guard. First Princess Izayoi froze in fear, staring at the ferocious InuTaisho and he too stared at her, growling softly and slowly resisting his snarl to a halt. The princess frowned, curious to the sudden change in his attitude. InuTaisho's ears perked and he looked up into the dark sky.

No sooner had he done this, than a huge horde of flying demons appeared, flying straight at the village to wreak havoc, it must have been their feeding time as well. The guards and princess soon realized the new comers and the guards readied their spears upward. InuTaisho looked over at them with a snarl before running over to the princess. The whole village was being attacked by these new demons.

Izayoi gulped in fear, but to her surprise, the dog demon got her onto his back and ran off from the village as fast as his muscled legs would take him. The princess looked back as the village and the other dog demons tried defending themselves against the powerful new demons.

She looked forwards again and noticed that the demon she was currently on was taking her deep into a forest, far away from all the mess, was he trying to save her, or perhaps save her for himself for his next meal? She wasn't sure how long he would run for; it seemed like hours before he actually stopped. But finally InuTaisho stopped and let her off his back. Izayoi stood before him, shaking slightly with fear; she was alone with, what looked like, a strong demon. Her brown eyes were huge as she stared at him and her long black hair swayed in rhythm to the gentle woodsy breeze.

"Why did you save me," she spoke softly as if loud noises would upset him and he would attack her. InuTaisho transformed back into his other form, an armored man who had long white hair tied into a long ponytail that was swaying along with the wind just as hers did. He was breathtaking to say the least. She gasped a little; his eyes were actually gold in color.

"What is your name," asked her hero, staring at her with only curiosity.

She found this an odd question, but found herself answering, "Izayoi, Princess Izayoi."

InuTaisho made a low noise which she wasn't sure what it was than saw him look back towards where they had run from, "Those demons are rivals of ours, they're strong, if we hadn't gotten out of their," but he stopped as he looked back at her. She was staring at her with amazement, "Why did you save me?" she asked again, getting the feeling that he wasn't going to eat her.

InuTaisho let out a deep breath before answering, "I feel a strange connection to you," he chuckled sarcastically, "a human, I've only felt this way for one other woman," he looked at the ground before bringing his eyes back to her, he kept his strong stature, but appeared somewhat weak. InuTaisho didn't understand, a human made him feel this way and he had only met her just moments ago.

Call it destiny or luck, but in the few moments knowing her, he had fallen for her and saved her life.

"You were coming to eat me, weren't you?" Izayoi asked after the shock from his words wore off somewhat.

InuTaisho sat himself by a tree, keeping his eyes in front of him and away from her, "Yes, I sensed a large gathering, you, your guards, family in one spot so that's were I was headed."

Izayoi looked him over, it was almost as if he was sorry for what he did and she finally sat beside him, staring ahead as well, "Why do you eat humans, why stoop so low," she looked over at him for answers.

InuTaisho smiled and made a sarcastic noise through his nose, "It's how demons like us survive, you wouldn't understand."

The great dog demon looked in a way sad or perhaps confused. Izayoi slowly put her hand over his that lay beside him. InuTaisho stared at her with his mouth slightly opened, "There's good in you," she told him.

InuTaisho shook his head, "No, there's not, I only want power to kill off my enemies and bring even more chaos to these lands."

The princess wasn't convinced, "You're wrong, I can see it in your eyes, and you're just confused."

InuTaisho jerked away from her grasp and stood frowning, "You're wrong, I'm a demon, I was born to become powerful and kill off humans," he was scared that this human would change all of that, but he wouldn't let her, "When I raise an army we will defeat our enemies and rule the lands."

"But you can't," Izayoi demanded as she stood in front of him, "please."

InuTaisho looked at her and saw she was actually shedding tears. He saw a frightened young woman who had just lost her village to ferocious demons and probably had no home to go back to and he had lost so many warriors from the attack.

Izayoi wanted him to stay; she knew he could be good; he had saved her didn't he? Before she knew what she was doing, she went to InuTaisho, clinging onto him and crying into his chest, "Please," she looked up at him with watery eyes as he looked down at her, "you saved me for a reason," she put her head back on his chest calming down.

InuTaisho was so confused, he had saved her and he couldn't just leave her there by herself. An idea struck in his mind, he remembered a peaceful village outside of his territory where the villagers seemed harmonious.

He pulled away from her and told her to get onto his back. She didn't even need to be told to trust him, she already did because she was a master at knowing the good or bad in people and demon or not, he had some good in him.

As soon as Izayoi was secured onto his back he took off swiftly through the trees, so fast that his ponytail was horizontally flowing behind him.

They had made it by nightfall and after waking her, he let her off right outside of the village so that they were hidden by bushes and trees, "You will be safe here," InuTaisho told her glancing at her new home and back at her.

Izayoi stared at the sleeping village before turning her attention InuTaisho, "Thank you InuTaisho," she replied softly gazing into his golden eyes.

InuTaisho felt a nervous fluttering in his stomach as he reached his hand to stroke her cheek, "I will be watching over you, Izayoi and as long as I am, no one will hurt you, I promise."

Izayoi smiled in gratitude and placed her own hand on top of his, so that he stopped stroking her cheek. Izayoi closed her eyes so that the warmth of his touch sunk into her very soul, but before she could open her eyes, the warmth was gone. She gasped at the new feeling of coldness and opened her eyes to find that he had vanished into the night.

As the days went by and Izayoi acquired a new home to live in, InuTaisho had kept his word and was by her side, in secret of course, when she was in danger.

The villagers wondered why she left the village on numerous occasions, but didn't demand any answers.

The two were inseparable outside of the village except when InuTaisho had demon business to attend to. They had fell in love with one another, a demon and a princess and unfavorable by InuTaisho's son, Sesshoumaru, who didn't understand at all why he would care so for a human, became bonded mates or as Izayoi would say husband and wife.

Afterwards Izayoi returned to her original village and formed a new kingdom. Her kingdom was unaware of her everlasting love in InuTaisho or that they were going to have a child together, but as fate would have it, the demon lord InuTaisho and princess Izayoi were in love and through InuTaisho's tragic end, they would have a son with just as much love for someone else.

A/N: ok, tell me the truth, was it sucky? Lol, honestly? This is the first chapter of the stories, but I wasn't too happy about it, hope you guys like it, oh and the title was from the song 'Hold Me Now' by Thompson Twins and I think it goes well with this story because in the song it talks about warming his heart and staying with him so I think it fits and next story will be an Inu/Kag story so please keep reading.
