PROLOGUE
Saitoshi. One of the most beautiful and captivating female daiyokai there are out there. Possibly one of the most deadly as well. She looked equally like her mother as she did her father. The only thing that wasn't her parents was her hair. It was neither neither blue nor silver, though the closest color one could call it would be Ice-blue. Her mother, an ice dragon demon, had a bright blue color for hair, while her father, a dog demon, had the most beautiful silver hair. Her face was very similar to her father, with the exception of her mother's lips and piercing Ice-blue eyes. Any male yokai and even humans tried to woo her, but she was never interested in any of them. Her mother was a hostess/owner for a universal inn where humans and yokai would both be welcomed. Everyday she would have to look her best and learn what a excellent hostess was to be, because her mother was going to leave her the inn when she had died. Her father hardly ever came to see her. He'd say he was busy and when he had came to see her it wasn't for very long. Just enough to drop things off that her mother needed. Every time he would come, Saitoshi would ask her father to teach her some swordsmanship techniques. Yet every time, he would refuse and mention that it was not needed when being a hostess. Oh how she longed to be like her father roaming the land and not being stuck to the inn. Oh how she longed to fight by her father's side in the battles he faced.
One morning, Saitoshi woke up early and got dressed. 'I'm going to go find father and show him that I don't wish to be a hostess but to be his right hand man. He'll see. He-he.' She left out quietly, not to alarm her mother that she was leaving, and headed off into the direction her father had always left.
On her way, she ran into an abandoned battlefield and noticed there were many dead. As she walked through the carnage, trying not to get her kimono dirty, she had realized that maybe she should take a sword with her and practice with it before reaching her father. 'Yeah...get some swordsmanship in, kill some yokai, maybe a couple of humans first, and then challenge Father...Wait, how the hell do I even find Father? Hmm. Maybe, I can ask someone if they have seen him. Yeah I'll do that!' She then continued looking for her father.
After searching and asking many people, humans and yokai alike, for about seven days, she gave a sigh and just about decided to give up. 'Seriously? No one has any idea where to find him and the ones that might are likely to be dead. Grr.' The breeze suddenly shifted and she caught whiff of a familiar smell. 'It's Father! He'll be so proud I made it here on my own. He-he.' She ran towards the direction of his scent, following it hoping to catch up to him.
She came across a beautiful palace while following her father's scent and noticed it was strong here. So full of excitement she ran towards the palace. She suddenly heard a little boy's voice and hid behind a bush. "I'm going to be a better Lord than he is." The little boy said to himself. "And then he can stop treating me like a child." Saitoshi looked from around the bush and noticed the boy looked like he was about 5 years old in human years. She chuckled silently.
"Saitoshi, what are you doing here?" A voice she knew all too well asked behind her. She slowly turned around to look at him. "Well, I came all this way to..." She got cut off by the little boy yelling in excitement while running to her father. "Father, I've decided to do my best and become stronger than you and be a better Lord than you!" She was confused but as she took a closer look at him she saw her father in him. 'Father? Was this boy my half brother? Why did he not tell mother and I?' When the boy got to them he gave a puzzled look. "Father, who is this woman?" Saitoshi realized her father probably wanted to keep them separated so they wouldn't get depressed about the others existence. She quickly spoke up in the most gentle voice and said, "I am a friend of your father and I watch over some property of his. My name is Saitoshi, What is your name?" The little boy smile big and began to speak, "My name is Sesshomaru. You are pretty." Saitoshi smiled sweetly and replied, "Thank you very much." She then turned her attention to her father and in a polite and appropriate tone she began to speak. "Lord Taishou, may we please talk else were about some important matters?" He smiled politely and replied, "Yes, we may. Follow me." He turned around and started walking towards the nearby forest.
Upon getting to the forest, Saitoshi stopped and glared at her father. "How could you not tell us you had a son? That I had a brother?" Taishou looked at her with love in his eyes and softly replied, "I had wished not to hurt your mother nor you. If I would have told you guys that I was married to another demon it would have hurt you." anger swirled inside of her. "So that's why you didn't want me to leave that stupid inn!? Because of that!? Well don't worry about coming around anymore. I'll go home, tell mother you died and comfort her. Like I always do when yo leave anyways. At least she won't hurt every time you leave. She knew this happened in the bottom of her soul. She kept telling me to get used to you being gone because sooner than later you'd stop showing up all together." She turned around and stormed off. Suddenly her arm was grabbed by her father. "I have always loved your mother. That is why I kept this to myself. I will always protect your mother and you. I hope you can understand." Saitoshi forcefully pulls her arm out of her father's grasp. "I understand completely." With that she turned her back on her father and walked home.
Years later, she had decided she would get back at her father for what he had done to her. She would make him pay and acknowledge her for who she was.
Eventually time passed and her newest hatred was for her mother. Her mother had become an escort and playmate to the men who stayed at the Inn. It didn't matter whether they were human yokai or half-breed, as long as they had the coin to pay for services. The noble Inn became a brothel due to some hard times and the constant wars.
One night her mother came to her and said that she had 'found a keeper' and was going to move away with him and that I was to keep on the Inn the way it has been going. Saitoshi smiled at her mother and said, "Everything will be just fine." She politely bowed and went to her room so that she may get some sleep.
The following morning she got up, got dressed, and went to her mother's room. Saitoshi found her grandfather's sword that was to protect her mother and her and grabbed it. She pulled the sword out of the sheath and with precision, she stabbed it through her mother's heart. She then pulled it out and continued to slice her mother up causing blood to get all over her kimono. 'Father you said you would protect us and you failed. Maybe the smell of Mother's blood will reach you and you come running. I seriously doubt it tho. You never did before.'
About and hour or two later she started to smell her father's blood. It was getting closer towards her. She smiled evilly and started to make her way towards the front of the Inn. Walking outside towards the nearby forest she spots her father in his true form. He lands a little ways away from her, changing into his humanoid form. Saitoshi begins to walk towards her father with sword in hand. "I will destroy you for what you've done." With that she rushed towards him with almost expert swordsmanship that she'd learned over the years. As he kept dodging her attacks he spoke in a serious way, "My life isn't yours to take. Someone else will be taking my life." Saitoshi chuckled. "You going to die for the human whose smell is all over you? Come on dad, I thought you were tougher than that." She decided she needed to up the ante and went full force including using her daiyokai abilities. Her father obviously in bad shape came in fast and stabbed her in the heart with a peculiar dagger. "I can't kill my own daughter but I can seal her away for about 500 years. After 500 years you may possess a recently dead human's body to use as your own but you will not be able you turn back into your former self unless you can get something from a Miko and someone of my own blood at the same time. Merely getting one then looking to get the other will not do. I will see you in the after life shortly." With that Saitoshi disappear into nothingness as Taishou ran to go and save InuYasha's mother.
