Disclaimer: This disclaimer goes for every chapter in this story from here on out. I do not own Inuyasha nor do I own any of the characters. They all belong to their respectful owners and I do not own the plot. I in no way shape or form make any money off of this. The only sort of payment I get from this is the satisfaction of the reviews/favs/alerts/and the fact that I wrote this. I own nothing. This is just a fanfiction that was made for reading pleasure. Please enjoy and once again I do not own.

A/N: Sorry if anyone seems ooc but it's kinda hard to keep them in character in a situation like this. If anyone has any suggestions for pointers or anything that would be appreciated. Oh, and the more reviews I get the more I'll probably end up writing. This may or may not be updated a lot. Sorry, it was kind of a random idea I had. I'm not real sure were this will end up.


Kagome and Miroku had been acting weird all day and Sango had asked many times what the problem was. They always exchanged glances and claimed it was nothing but Sango knew better. She knew they were hiding something but they just couldn't figure out what it was. After a couple times of asking she gave up and just let them be. Maybe it was just all in her head and there they were telling the truth. Maybe there wasn't anything wrong and she was just seeing things. Just as she was in the middle of these musings Inuyasha stopped and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

"I smell dog." Inuyasha then glanced at Kagome. She shook her head, "I don't sense any shikon no tama." She pulled out he bow and arrows, preparing for an attack. That's when everyone sensed it's aura. It was the strongest any of them had ever felt. It was like a thousand Naraku's and a hundred Sesshomaru's combined. The arua was so strong and terrifying that Inuyasha had to suppress a shudder. He was no fool and he knew when to back down. As if reading his mind Shippo suggested that they turn around. Inuyasha nodded in agreement and they all turned to walk away from the mighty demon.

After they took a couple of steps a deep chuckle erupted from the darkness of the forest. They all froze mids-step as the throaty laugh reached theirs ears. The small fox demon could help but tremble at the sound and he let a whimper escape his lips. Inuyasha snapped his head in the direction of the laugh and frowned when he realized the demon was walking towards them. He turned around to tell the group that they should start running, he hated to admit it to himself but this demon was way to strong for him to fight, when a voice interpreted him.

"Are you running away?" it was the same deep, silky voice that had laughed moments ago. Inuyasha would have normally replied with a sarcastic remark but he had a strange feeling of déjà vu. It was like he had herd that voice before but he couldn't quite place where. It was really irritating, he knew he knew that voice but where he had herd it before was lost to him.

His group looked at him, as if waiting for him to tell them what to do, but he was too caught up in his thoughts. By the time he realized how close the inuyokai was it was too late. The demon was just past the line of trees surronding the clearing that they were in. Inuyasha quickly turned around and pulled out Tetsusaiga, even if he was going to die he wasnted to try and give his friends enough time to run off. The demon stepped out the clearing and everyone gasped.

His face was similar to Inuyasha's but he had a jagged, blue strip linning each of his cheeks. His stunning silver hair was pulled up into a high pony tail and the same sort of bangs that both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru both had. His armor was covered both his sholders and his chest while his mokomoko seemed more of a tiny cape with two long tail like ends. He had stunnig golden eyes and he worn all white. His kimono had a similar design to Sesshomaru's. Eveyone was frozen in shock at the site of this man.

"It's been a long time, Inuyasha." The man said and that seemed to snap him out of his trance. Inuyasha blinked a couple of times before his wits came back to him.

"Who the hell are you?" Inuyasha prepared himself for battle against this unknown man. He couldn't possibly be who everyone thought he was, there was no way.

"Is that any way to talk to your father?" The ex-daiyokai asked.

"I thought you were suppose to be dead!" It was rude, but Kagome couldn't help herself. She didn't mean to sound so rude to him but she remembered that anytime he was brought up, they always said he was dead so there was no possible way that he could be standing there.

"I am. I'm not really sure how I came to be alive again but I'm not really complaining. I came by because I wanted to see how my youngest. You've grown so much since the last time I have seen you. I doubt you remember me though, you were just a newborn when we first met." He suddenly frowned. "What happened to your tail, pup?" Inuyasha growled at him and frowned. "Don't call me that!" This only made Inu no taisho smirk but he still waited for the answer to his queston.

"Inuyasha, you had a tail?" Kagome asked, surprised by the fact that he didn't also have dog ears but at one point even had a tail to match.

"Yeah, the villigers lopped it off when I was younger." A silence overtook the clearing as Inu no taisho frowned. "I see." were the only words that escaped his mouth as he stepped closer.

"I am to assume Izayoi is decessed am I not?" Inu no taisho asked and Inuyasha nodded slowly. "I see. It must have been hard, my son, and for that I am sorry." Inu no taisho truly meant it and took a step closer to Inuyasha. "You have grown so much. I am proud of you, pup."

Inuyasha was taken back for a second; no one had ever really told him that and this new emotion had over come him for a second. He wasn't really sure how to respond. "Keh, whatever." was the only thing that came to his mind as he placed Tetsusaiga back in it's sheath and turned around.

"I'm Kagome by the way." Kagome gave a bow, remembering that they had never met. "This is Sango, Miroku, Kirara, and Shippo." As she said theirs names each one gave a poliete bow, save Shippo who waved and Kirara who moewed in response.

"It is nice to meet you all. You may call me Inu no taisho." he gave a sligt nod of his head. "Would you mind if I joined your group for a time being?" Kagome smiled warmly at him. "Of course you can!" If Inu no taisho was correct, he liked Inuyasha's mate.
