"Feel my flames!" Inuyasha screamed at a huge green monster, Inuyasha is a young eight year old hanyou with silver hair and dog ears.
The monster roared in pain as Inuyasha shot a line of burning fire in its face, the fire burned brightly as it started to consume nearby huts.
Before anything got burned a purple barrier surrounded the now burning ashes as a young eight year old girl dressed in pink threw a huge boomerang, it started to glow as it went in circles around the fire summoning clouds that soon turned into a miniature rainstorm successfully putting the fire out.
Meanwhile Inuyasha was ignorant about the spreading flames that were extinguished by his teammates because he had turn his back on the sight while being way too absorbed in victory.
The barrier came down revealing a pile of ashes, soon the two came beside the boy. One of the two was another eight year old boy dressed in purple training cloths with black hair and purple eyes, his name is Miroku while the girl with long brown hair dipped with pink highlights is Sango.
Sango's blue eyes looked at Inuyasha with a fierceness that could make a grown bear back away in fear.
He always did this, while the other two were focused on saving lives he was out causing even more trouble with the uncontrollable aftermath of his flaming powers. Why on earth did they just take it, he never even acted like their leader anyhow.
Then not long after he always took all the credit, he doesn't even come during training because he thinks he is so powerful. The other two worked a lot harder than he has ever worked, so why?
As usual Inuyasha boasted about his work rather than theirs so Sango told Miroku, "We already know what is going to happen so let's just go".
The two nodded to each other and then walked back to the base, there was no point sticking around for this.
Later that afternoon their master had decided to give Inuyasha a quick private training lesson. He wanted to test the boy's stance and show the boy how to use a long ranged weapon rather than the sword he usually summoned during battles.
Expectantly the boy refused any real instruction and anything new, Mark sighed, "You know you might actually like something like a bow and would probably be able to do a lot better with controlling your flames if you had something that requires more concentration." Inuyasha yelled at the master, "I do just fine without anything new and practice!"
Mark rubbed his temple before trying to say, "Your power comes from your courage just like Sango's comes from her justice and Miroku his intelligence, a tama's power is more than just."
Inuyasha interrupted waving him off, "Whatever I'm going back inside."
"Foolish boy, at this rate something horrible will happen." the master said shaking his head disappointingly as the boy walked away.
Inuyasha soon arrived at the tama's living quarters, it was a decent sized house with three bedrooms upstairs on the second floor and a bathroom. The first floor is basically a living area with a kitchen, dining room, and living room. Last but not least, they had a basement where they would conduct indoor training.
Inuyasha has lived and breathed as a tama for as long as he could remember, like his companions he too had been training since birth. The tamas power comes from their jewels around their neck, that are summoned by certain personality traits.
Inuyasha's jewel is red, which means he is meant to lead The Tamas and he summons his powers through his courage. His powers consist of fire related abilities and he is also able to summon a red sword with his magic, then again all tamas should be able summon a weapon that fits them perfectly.
Sango's jewel is pink and her power is strength that is powered by justice. she is able to use her weapon, a giant boomerang, to summon storms to put out fires. Miroku's jewel is purple and his power is said to be summoned by wisdom, so far he has been only been able to summon powerful barriers that can contain and protect people and his weapon is a staff. What the staff actually does is beyond even Miroku.
Inuyasha's blade can deflect attacks and give powerful strikes not only that but his strong flaming powers, this is why Inuyasha is the strongest tama out of all of them so far.
All three of them were born with their powers, so they have been training all their lives. None of them actually knew their parents, because they were born with their tamas around their neck they were taking away from their parents and raised by their master.
The tamas's master's name is Mark, but they rarely call him anything but master.
When Inuyasha walked into the doorway he was immediately greeted by his companions, who had angry looks on their face.
"What's wrong?", Inuyasha asked concerned.
They both then replied at the same time, "You!"
Before Inuyasha could even reply, sango stormed up to him. She then Yelled at him, "You couldn't wait for us on the mission, could you!?"
"What do you mean?", Inuyasha asked still confused.
Sango lectured angrily, "You could've burned down the whole village the way you were fighting! While you were boasting, we were containing and extinguishing your fire from spreading!".
Miroku than added, "Sango's right, this time you've gone too far."
Inuyasha then said ignorantly, "I don't see the big deal".
Sango glared at Inuyasha as she said, "No big deal!? You've could have harmed someone without us! Maybe if you'd actually come to practice you could learn to control your flames better! Not only that, but you always leave us behind and take all the credit. It's unfair and wrong!
That's when master came inside and commented, "I usually don't take sides, but the other two are correct."
Inuyasha then answered back foolishly, "So?"
After that Sango just snapped as she slapped Inuyasha hard on the side of his face while yelling, "So!? I refuse to follow such a ignorant leader as you!"
Inuyasha looked at Miroku and master to back him up, but they just looked away.
Inuyasha hid his eyes behind his silver bangs as he said coldly, "Fine then.", and then he walked right past Master and out of the house as he heard Sango making a humph sound.
After a while Inuyasha was walking through the forest at the edge of their head quarters as it started to storm.
Inuyasha muttered, "Great", before he went looking for shelter.
He soon came upon a cliff as he looked done at his house from the cliff as he darkly wondered if they had finished their little pity party yet.
He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he failed to noticed the footsteps slowly coming up behind him.
The person that own the footsteps then raise something hard slowly over the boy from the shadows, and then when Inuyasha finally took noticed it was already too late as the object came crashing down onto his head.
Inuyasha black out from impact as the man picked up the boy and hurled him over his shoulders and said, "This one will get me promoted for sure!"
Soon the man left The Tamas headquarters and forest behind with Inuyasha.
Inuyasha groaned slowly as he started waking up, he gasped. The boy didn't recognize this place at all, where was he!?
He looked around at his surroundings, he was in some sort of dungeon and the boy's wrists were chained on the wall above his head.
He tried to get into a more comfortable position, but he failed.
Inuyasha thought bitterly, 'My ankles are chains too!', as he struggled with his chains.
Wait, he has powers. He can just bust right out of these chains!
Inuyasha then tried to summon his flames to obliterate the chains, but it didn't work.
Inuyasha's eyes widened in shock, this never happened before! Where was he!
"Ah, so you're finally awake", a man said with a dark tone.
"Who are you?! Where am I?!", Inuyasha yelled at the man.
"My name is Naraku and your in my facility, where we drain peoples life force from them so we can use it to become all powerful and take over the world!", Naraku answered laughing evilly.
"And why explain all this to me?" Inuyasha said sarcastically,
Naraku stalked forward and smirked, "Aren't you a little spitfire, I'll enjoy breaking you."
Naraku then started to say, "I would go about explaining how we drain life forces, but your about to experience it for yourself. Oh, and don't even think about using your powers on me. Those chains are cursed so you can't use your powers with them on.", as he walked away.
When he left a young woman came in with a cart and different tools, Inuyasha tried to strike up a conversation with her but she ignored him as she approached him with a small empty pack.
Inuyasha cocked his head in confusion, what did that Naraku guy mean?
Soon the woman pulled out a whip and placed it on the floor as she grabbed a needle and approached Inuyasha with it.
Inuyasha cocked his head in confusion as she brought it to his right arm, then she stabbed him very hard with the needle as Inuyasha yelped in pain.
Inuyasha eyes widened as he noticed a red liquid running down his arm.
He was so focused on the blood that he fail to noticed the woman had gotten the whip.
She pulled her hand up with the whip then down in one strong precise strike Making Inuyasha scream, "Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!"
She continued until Inuyasha blacked out, when he woke up again she would continue again this time with a new painful tool.
Inuyasha couldn't tell how long he was in there, all he could seem to comprehend was pain.
The pain never seem to stop for the unfortunate boy as the torture blurred together for the boy.
Pain, it hurt so much. Who was he again?
That's right his name is Inuyasha, the boy held onto his name in his head so he wouldn't forget who he was.
He could barely see anything through his eyes anymore, the boy also noticed he felt so very hungry too.
Were they trying to make him fear them? Well, they picked the wrong tama to do that to.
He is the tama of courage, there was no way he will show fear to his enemy.
He is the leader of the tamas!
"Kagura, that's enough." Inuyasha faintly heard Naraku order.
Wait, a leader will always be backed up by his comrades right? So where were his comrades?
Aren't they gonna rescue him?
Naraku lifted Inuyasha's head up to look in his eyes as he said, "Interesting, even after all that you are yet to break."
Inuyasha replied a bit insanely, "Break me, huh? like you could!"
The boy laughed as he choked on his own blood.
Naraku hissed annoyed, "Shut up!", as he slapped Inuyasha hard for irritating him.
Inuyasha went quiet as he spit at Naraku like the older man was beneath him then grinned like a idiot.
Naraku wiped away the spit as he smiled darkly as he said, "you sure like to open your mouth a lot, don't you?"
Inuyasha looked at Naraku in pure confusion as he asked, "What?"
The older man than started to pace to floor back and forth as he asked, "Let me guess your team kicked you out, right?"
"It's not like that you do not know what your even talking about!", Inuyasha yelled.
Naraku raised an eyebrow as he replied, "Oh really? Then where are they now while your here being torture, hmm?"
The older man then added, "After all, they probably want nothing to do with you. I mean someone as ignorant as you is hard to get along with, I'm surprised they put up with you for that long."
Before Inuyasha could retaliate Naraku continued, "Too bad too, they are probably the only ones that can save you now. After all we're pretty far from Shelter, actually we are on a completely different set of lands."
Shelter is the land that The Tamas protect and live in.
So if he isn't in Shelter than no one knows who he is here, he's all alone.
No one will be looking for him here because they don't know he exist.
Inuyasha eyes widened in fear for the first time ever as Naraku wrapped his tentacles around Inuyasha's waste and torso.
"Don't worry I know how to fix this. By shutting your big mouth!" Naraku said as he dived his tentacles into the boy's mouth and to the back of his throat.
Inuyasha's eyes rolled to the back of his head as his eyes dilated in shock.
It then all clicked in the boy's head that moment, Naraku was right.
When did he ever give any credit to sango or miroku, he should've listened to Master, Miroku, and Sango.
If he did listen then he wouldn't be in this mess.
He was such a horrible leader, no wonder they were so mad.
They probably aren't even looking for him right now, he doesn't deserve to be their leader.
No, he doesn't deserve to be a tama.
The boy's body went slack in defeat as his jewel cracked and turned into a pale color as Inuyasha ran out of oxygen and blacked out.
His last thought was, 'I'm a monster in a hero's clothing, I deserve this'
Inuyasha woke up as he was thrown into a cell harshly, but he didn't even bother to open his eyes or get up.
He felt too tired to move, so there was no point in it.
He suddenly felt soft gentle hands lift him up into their owner's lap.
He then heard a woman's voice panic as she said softly, "Poor thing, he's only a boy."
The young boy snapped open his eyes to meet a older human woman who looked to be in her twenties.
He soon pushed away from her in fear as memories and pain assaulted his now conscious mind.
He yelped in pain as he held his stomach in severe pain before puking in a corner of the cell.
The kind woman patted his back as he heaved the rest of the content of his stomach.
"Great, now we have to smell that for the rest of our lives!", a old man yelled sarcastically.
The woman then argued back, "Grandpa, don't be so mean! He's only a child!"
"A child that looks like he'll die soon, anyways.", The old man argued back.
While they were arguing Inuyasha noticed black hair flowing in front of his eyes, he reached for it only to discover it was his own hair.
He gasped in surprise as he limped against a wall over to a bucket full of clear water.
He looked into the bucket at his own reflection to discover his new appearance.
He was now completely human. His formally white hair was now black and his eyes violet, he is also extremely pale and skinny.
The old man was right, he looked like he could kick the bucket anytime now.
Inuyasha tried to scream but nothing came out as he began to cry.
"Hey, I didn't mean it. Please stop crying.", The old man said with guilt in his voice as the woman quickly cradled the boy in her arms.
For once he could admit he was scared for his life.
He could feel it, he was no longer a tama, his powers have left him.
Inuyasha continued to sob as the cell was opened and three children were forced back into the small room.
Inuyasha finally calmed down enough to take notice of his situation, they were in some sort of dungeon with at least five people in each cell
"Sai!", the children yelled as they slowly approached the two. The children asked, "Who's he?", in curiosity.
"A newcomer." Sai's grandfather answered for her.
Sai then looked down at the boy and asked, "What is your name?"
Inuyasha tried desperately to answer her but his throat hurt too much for him so even utter a word before he started to cough harshly.
He grabbed his throat in pain as Sai confronted, "You don't have to answer if you can't."
The boy then came up with a brilliant idea as he started to trace his name on the cement.
"Inuyasha?", Sai confirmed as Inuyasha nodded.
