The revival of the InuTashio clan

Chapter 1

Pre warning, there may be spoilers in this fanfiction, this happens after the winter war

This is my story, but before I can start my story I need to tell the story of my parents. My father is the infamous Lord Sesshomaru InuTashio and my mother is Rin the human woman who died and became stronger, my mother met my father at a young age, after her entire family was killed, she found my father hurt in a forest, even though he tried to scare her away, she did not run, she did however get him food and water and try to help him heal faster, however she did not understand that demons did not require these substances. In actuality we can eat but it doesn't help us in any way, just require us to go to the rest room, when we really get a craving from our pure instincts we hunt and we hunt humans as their blood and flesh is the tastiest, but that is mostly the lower demons that resolve to that, not the Yokai especially not our dog demon clan.

So after my mother tried to help my father, who in turn refused to take her help, ended up saving her in return funny how fate works, she was attacked by wolf demons and torn apart, my father used his fathers' fang tenseiga the sword, which has the ability to bring back the dead, however only once, after that the soul cannot be brought back again, she was also the first one he used his sword on. They travelled together however after my father and company so he says, defeated Naraku, after he left my mother Rin with old lady Kaede so she can learn about people, health, society, history and all other means, however she really missed travelling with her lord Sesshomaru, once she became 19 years old, instead of marring of his ward he decided to marry her himself. I know not many people thought that my father would marry let alone a human, he had finally understood why his father was with InuYasha's mother, it wasn't because he could, or wanted another child, it was because he fell in love with her. His mother told him that their marriage and bond was for the clan the InuTashio Clan, so when he did met the woman he loved he did what any other man would, he loved her. Once my mother and father married, or in correct terms mated, making it a permanent bond of both of their souls.

On a beautiful spring sunny day, where the wind was blowing softly, not too cold but not getting too hot from the lovely sun, the flowers we especially lovely, with my father was dealing with a boar demon that arrived in the vicinity, my mother got up from her position in the field and began to move towards the tree line away from the impending fight. On her way to safety she tripped and smacked her head on a small pointed rock, something so small and simple, the most insignificant thing in the entire world is what killed her. She was there, then the next second dead, of course my father could feel the second her heart stopped beating, he defeated the boar and tried to save her, even took her to his mother (lady InuKimi) but it was too late.

Ever since that event he stayed up in his mother's castle, for 200 years to be precise, once the demons began to dwindle so much that only my father, his mother and some other wolf and dog demons were left, they were practically extinct, and humans began to cultivate and take over the world in numbers, not too long after that more and more hollows showed up.

This is what forced my grandmother and father to leave the world of the living and go to the soul society, my grandmother used her medo stone to open a portal and moved the whole floating castle to soul society, they erected a barrier around the castle, it was so far away from Seireitai and the roukongai that they were never happened upon, the castle and the land it's on, floats in the sky, unseen to this very day.

Demons have always had to deal with hollows, this was what reduced so many numbers of the demons, honestly humans were not strong enough to practically destroy an entire species such as demons, so of course it was hollows, as long as demons have existed so have humans Shinigami's came along not too long after the quinces, very rarely a Shinigami would kill a demon, normally only if the demon attacked them then they would. So demons would avoid them as much as possible but hollows would purposely go after demons due to them having more natural spirit energy then a normal human.

The soul king first created humans, and as a part of that hollows and quinces, one of his creations were demons, they were created by putting 4 creatures together, quince, hollow, human and a type of animal, in my families case it is a dog, in others it's a fox, crow, spider and so on, this massive mix is why some demons look so weird and come out disgusting sometimes, including hanyo who sometimes come out weird looking. Demons however never fully destroyed a soul when they eat or killed a being, not like the quinces, hence why they were not targeted by the Shinigami but it didn't matter because we practically went extinct over a few centuries.

Once my father and grandmother were discovered by the soul society, they were of course approached by the soul reapers, who thought that they were trying to start war, or at least a fight. They were only found out during one of the decades that the King's Seal was being transported, and they went through the field that makes the floating castle invisible, apparently that was a shock to my father and InuKimi.

Instead they had a sit down and trial with the central 46 and they were going to execute them however the royal guard sent word, and made a deal with the InuTashio clan, the deal stated that, if ever the clan is called upon by the king, they must respond and be prepared to lay down their life to protect "it". They had agreed as they thought that it would be very rare of happening, so they agreed, central 46 and the captains were debriefed on the role of the InuTashio clan, and was to be kept secret, the location of the InuTashio castle was removed from all records and all those who knew we slapped with an anti-speak Kido, as they were some of the last demons left alive and wanted it to stay that way.

There was something special about demons and soul reapers knew it, their power multiplied by ten when in the soul society and also their demon powers were specifically deadly to soul reapers but hollows are deadly to demons and quinces, this is also why demons died out so quickly from the hollows eating and killing them. While in the soul society they were given a small quite tour, their guide was no other than Rin.

Sesshomaru's point of view-

He nearly lost his footing, his eyes widened and he spoke her name so soft and light that she barely heard it, "Rin" her reaction was close to the same, did she remember him?, her face told him not now be careful, he remembered that soul reapers were not supposed to remember their past, even the souls that go to the roukongai remembered slightly but their memories fade away fast, but once they became a soul reaper their human and past life memories are taken from them if they still have any. He saw her warning, and left it at that "Hi my name is Rin Shigekuni, third seat of squad 1 and I will help guide you through the Seireitai while yous' are here,"

My mother gave me a sideways look and a smirk that spelled disaster. He sighed he knew she was skeaming,

"Hello Rin, it's lovely to meet you, I see you have the same last name as the head captain commander, is it by any chance that you are related to him?"

"Oh yes, he is my father, I was born 200 years ago, unfortunately my birthdate is shared with the date of my mother's death"

she didn't seem sad about speaking of this subject, but I definitely heard her clue, 200 years ago, and she was born that means she kept her memories due that reason, I wonder if she told anyone about her memories, I know she remembers me, but she won't speak about it, where can we meet to speak in private?

"Oh I thought only noble clan members could have children? Is Yamamoto a clan member?" his mother trying to suck as much information out of Rin like a sponge,

"oh no my father isn't, but sometimes if the soul reaper has enough spirit pressure, they can create a child, it is unusual for a non-noble clan member to have kids, so it isn't normal and comes with issues as you can tell with my mother not surviving, that is why only clan members have children, they can support life more easier due to having more spirit energy."

My mother gave me a sideways look, and I agreed with her, this was way too much of a Qu incidence and not to mention he for one believes in fate, he lost it for a long time when she died, but seeing her right her and now exactly 200 years old, this ignited his faith once again. I must meet her in private, over the week they did not talk about the past, or personally, he knew why but he had to get her out of the Seireitai, one on one with him, the hardest thing, was that her father kept her very close, he always watched her and had a tight leash on her, apparently she was shy for a third seat and extremely strong for a Shinigami.

I did however manage to slip her a note when he shook her hand to say thanks, it said meet me out past the west roukongai district whenever you can get away, I will be waiting in the forest closest to the roukon district.

It wasn't till a week later at night, a full moon when she arrived, I stepped out of the tree line, and she ran into my arms,

"Lord Sesshomaru, I've missed you so much, I love you, and I've never stopped loving you" She had tears in her eyes, I held her so tight, I am never letting her go. "I missed you" was all I could say we sat against a tree just holding each other, I could feel my connection to her, even though technically we are not mated but it is still there. I finally had to break the silence, even though she looked so beautiful sitting in my lap in the moonlight slowly patting my moki-moki (tail), it felt so good,

"Have you always had your memories?" she took her time to before answering, she just looked so relaxed,

"Yes, when I was a lot more younger, I use to go looking for you and I tried to tell people that I needed to find my lord Sesshomaru, everyone just thought that you were my imaginary friend"

She giggled after that, I couldn't help but smile, it's so good to hear her laugh again,

"Does anyone know you can remember your past?"

"once I realised that no one is meant to remember, I shut up straight away, I secretly looked for you whenever I could go to the human world and even in the roukongai but never could…" she slowly trailed off,

"I'm sorry I stayed with my mother after you passed away, it's not like anyone could get to her castle either, seeing as it moves through the air, always changing position and it's invisible barrier, makes it difficult" She moved, I must admit I was a bit disappointed, she faced me on her knees still placed between my legs and put her hand on my cheek,

"Do not apologise, not ever, it must have been painful being in your position, meanwhile I was re-born, so don't apologise" her eyes were sad yet sincere.

"Will you join me again, and we can try again, a life together?" I don't know why but I sounded and probably looked so desperate, her facial expression was sad, and I thought she was going to say no

"I would love too, but I am scared to leave, my father keeps a very close eye on me, even though I am grown and have passed the soul reaper academy, he doesn't want to lose me after he already lost the one he loved so much, my mother, but I can't say that I remember my past, because even though I am his daughter, I should be executed and put into the cycle of life death and re-birth once again, that is the law" she looked down so sad, so torn apart, she wants to stay with her father but she wants to come with me, meanwhile she can't just say we have always known each other.

My musings we interrupted as someone approached, we both got up and on our feet, we could see him, he spoke in his deep old voice, he had his squad with him. "So I was right, you kept your memories and he was the lord Sesshomaru that everyone thought you imagined up, I noticed his name when resolving the issues held with in central 46, you have broken the life cycle law my daughter, and as hard and painful as this is I am the captain commander, I must up hold the law!"

I stood in front of Rin and spoke for her, "yes she does and that is because it's the fate of the soul king that has made it possible, I will not lose her again and yous will not be taking my beloved from me!"

I place my hand on the hilt of my Bakusaiga "wait Sesshomaru… Dad I am sorry that I kept my memories, but will you really have me killed just because of that?!" She wanted to hear him say no anything to confirm that he was the loving caring over protective father who has helped her grow the past 200 years.

" I'm sorry my daughter, as much as I love you, you must be judged by central 46" I knew the second he had his squad with him, which he had made up his mind and that of which he would do to Rin. I pulled out my sword and said

"Over my dead body!"

Yamamoto removed his walking stick which turned into his zanpakuto, Rin's eyes became seriously worried, and I could feel this man is strong, but I do have the advantage of being a demon and my Bakusaiga can destroy anything that it touches. Before anyone could move, I felt my mother her roar made the ground shake as she came down from the night sky, when she landed in her true demon form of a dog, making the ground shake like an earth quake, all the soul reapers freaked, lost their footing and backed up, she towered over them standing right behind me, and then she changed her appearance, back to her humanoid form.

"Relax, I swear men are always looking for a fight, say Captain Commander Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, how about we go to the Seireitai and we resolve this problem like sensible people?"

I was about to complain, but my mother gave me a look, that said no, she was serious, but I'm sure she would have a plan up her sleeve, she wouldn't want to get rid of Rin, would she? "Very well then, we shall head back to the central 46 and they shall judge her and this situation" my mother smiled at me like she was victorious, that's when I knew that she definitely had something up her sleeve, and to trust in her, we followed the soul reapers back through the roukongai and then through the Seireitai, they wanted to put Rin in cuffs, but I said "no she and I will not harm anyone nor try to run away" her father nodding his head to agree with us, is what prevented her and I from being hand cuffed.

We were taken straight to central 46 and placed in front of old nobles who had their faces covered, as they were given the story from each side, both the soul reapers and our side or 'the demons side' of the story so they liked to state it. We were of course represented by someone and that someone was Captain Shunsui Kyraku, in the end we won the argument for us, the central 46 actually dealt out that, if Rin wanted to leave and join the InuTashio Clan then she is allowed to however, she will never be able to step foot into the roukongai or Seireitai unless called upon by the soul society or the soul King as one of the Clan members, and of course she agreed.

The thing that actually allowed Rin to survive was the contract that we have with the soul king and as a clan, Rin would become the next lady of the clan and be Lord Sesshomaru's wife, thus having children and making the clan bigger, and if the clan was bigger, then there would be more members to respond if needed. Rin bowed to her father with tears in her eyes "Thank you for being my father, taking care of me, teaching me, making me strong, I know you helped our case by allowing Captain Shunsui Kyraku represent us and I thank you, I hope to see you again in the future but if we don't then I wish you well in the rest of your life." When she stood, she tried to hide her sadness and tears, she turned and moved towards me and stayed by my side, what she didn't notice was the slightest hint of sadness and worry that was in his eyes even if it was for a second, I definitely saw it. All he said in response was "Goodbye Rin" and he left the central 46 ruling room, I noticed my mother talking to Kyraku and he was kissing her hand and very obviously wanting to be sexual 'disgusting'.

"Mother it is time for us to leave, is there anything that you want to grab before we leave for good?" I asked Rin

"Yes just a few things from my room in the barracks of the first squad." "Do you want me to come?"

"No, I want to take my time; I will meet you out the front of the west gate"

"Very well, I'll be waiting for you" I turned to my mother and my mother was indulging in all the attention that Kyraku was giving her, I also don't think that his second seat was too impressed either, seeing as she smacked him with a very, very large book and pulled him out of the building by his ear, he cried like a little bitch, this actually remind me of the antics that InuYasha and Kagome use to do, like a comedy act.

I went to the gate, I noticed that after 20 minutes Rin still hadn't showed up but other captains and their lieutenants' they stood in two rows one with captains and one with their lieutenants' in a straight line, then I understood, this was how they were going to say goodbye to Rin but also acknowledge her as the lady of the clan. Her father walked beside her, she seemed happier now, they must have talked more, and cleared some more thoughts and feelings, I can't imagine the head captain being the most easiest person to speak to about feelings.

"Today we say goodbye to a member of the first squad, you have worked hard and been a great member, as you go throughout life don't be burdened by the thought of your previous comrades, move forward and never stray from the path you have chosen, now goodbye from all of the soul society, you have my word that your identity and location is unknown and safe, you will be documented as passed away from a hollow attack, now goodbye Rin Shigekuni, third seat of squad one." Rin was touched by the head captain's words, she bowed and thanked them all, and then we left, to start our life together.
