freakin' rich). Rumiko Takahashi does!*
Forgotten Past
Chapter 1
Yuri held her son in her arms, trying to keep him quiet as she waited for a sign of his father. She could hear swords clashing and explosions coming from outside of their hiding place. "Inutaishou... where could you be?" she thought as she rocked her child back and forth.
The young baby cried as the noise outside scared him. Yuri was getting scared herself... but she obeyed Inutaishou's orders, "Stay in the palace until I return. If anything should happen here, run to the east gate. Sesshoumaru will be waiting there."
CLASH!
The door crashed open and youkai soldiers ran into the room. Yuri quickly stood up and ran as fast as she could to the rear exit. She left the palace and entered a dark forest, heading for the east gate.
"Inutaishou... they've come... but how? Did something happen to you?" Yuri thought aloud as she ran.
Many youkai followed close behind. Yuri could hear them roaring for human flesh. She quickly glanced at the baby she carried, which was now crying even louder.
"ONEGAI! LET ME GET INUYASHA TO SAFETY!"
Yuri could see the east gate in the distance and the figure of someone standing there... waiting. She was slightly relieved to know that Sesshoumaru was close by. She was about to call out for him when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
"...ngh... no..."
Her elegant kimono quickly turned red with blood as a sword was unsheathed from her body. Her vision became blurry as she looked at Inuyasha one last time.
"Inutaishou... Sesshou...maru... Inu... ya... sha..."
Yuri collapsed to the ground, a pool of blood surrounding her. Inuyasha was still clutched in her arms... still crying. Yet the cry was softer, as if he was drifting off to sleep. *********** East Gate Sesshoumaru stood there, waiting for any sign of Yuri coming with Inuyasha. He looked left and right, but still no sign of them. However, the smell of blood reached him and he turned to a certain direction.
"I know this scent."
Sesshoumaru ran into the forest ahead of him and followed the scent until he reached Yuri's body. He stopped short at the sight. He checked her neck for a pulse.
"She's still alive..."
Sesshoumaru carefully turned her and saw Inuyasha sleeping in her arms. He lifted them both and carried them into another palace within the east gate. He placed Inuyasha in a bed of grass and tended to Yuri.
"This wound is bad... will she make it?"
Suddenly, another dog demon entered the room.
"Where are they?"
"Inuyasha is sleeping over there," Sesshoumaru said, "And Yuri..."
"Use this on her wounds," Inutaishou said as he handed Sesshoumaru an herb from a nearby garden.
"How did you know?"
"I could smell her blood from 10 miles away."
Sesshoumaru applied an ointment made from the herb as Inutaishou wrapped bandages around the wound.
"She'll live," Inutaishou said.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Just let her rest."
"So what happened?"
"The ogres invaded the palace. I was outside trying to defend it, but they must have found some other way to get in."
"Are they safe here?"
"They should be..."
Inutaishou and Sesshoumaru then went outside to keep watch over the Eastern Palace.
**~Author's Note: *whew* That was pretty difficult if you ask me. It's hard trying to make up a past for Inuyasha. Ok, I was gonna have Inuyasha's mother die in this chapter, but then I was like 'well, she was still alive when Inuyasha was old enough to walk and talk,' so I'm trying to make this story connect with the manga/series. Oh, and according to resources (mainly my bf), Inuyasha's mother's name IS Yuri. At least he says that's what he heard when he read a thingy about the 3rd Inuyasha movie. And I heard that his father's name was Inutaishou, but then again they say it's 50 other things as well... Anyways, please review and keep reading Forgotten Past! ~**
