InuYasha Prompts!-#1: Beginning-Toga/Izayoi.

She was sitting in a field when he first saw her, picking flowers and tying them into a necklace. Such a simple thing that fascinated him; he didn't know much about humans, but he'd never seen one do something so...trivial. And when he'd approached her, she wasn't afraid; she brushed her endless black hair over her shoulder, and smiled. Pretty red lips invited him to sit next to her. She handed him a flower, which he stared at, feeling confused. "What is this for?" he asked. "You look sad," she shrugged, red lips glimmering, "everyone needs a reason to smile, don't they?"

He chuckled softly, "You are indeed a strange woman...may I ask your name?"

"Izayoi. And you are..?"

"Toga. It is a pleasure to meet you, my lady." And for the first time in what felt like years, he smiled.

(A/N: Ok! So apparantly, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru's father was never given a name. "Inu no taisho" was used in the script of the movie, but this translates to "Leader of the Dogs," ...which is a formal title. So, as a name, I have used Toga.
