A/N: This will just be a quick paragraph or so. I kind of want to get the first chapter going now or I'll never get it started ever again. Well, I'm back to write more. This is a story I've wanted to write for a while now, actually a few years. I remember a while back, I thought, why doesn't he have enough of a background story? Well, I'm sorry but I haven't read any of the manga much, so I might get stuff wrong… I really need to pick them up again. But, if you know me, you know who this is about… And I'm using two past characters in a different way this time around. I also do not own the cast Inuyasha. Only a couple of characters I do own.
Chapter 1:
A Million Ways
The man with the cerulean eyes and raven-black hair held up with a fur ribbon stared off towards the sunset, his bare feet grasping onto a boulder as a small doll stood grasped in his claws. Pointed ears flat against his head as his senses didn't exist. His eyes started to favor the dark cave he decided to visit this year in summer, while the trees were lush with emerald leaves. Sunlight peaked through these leaves and tried to appear on the Earth below. Holding up the doll, he sighed, "Hey Mom…" he smiled and scoffed. His eyes were filled of memory of him as a small innocent wolf youkai holding the wolf doll in his arms and smudges of dirt across his cheeks. Lovely young women with white hair and the same blue eyes petting him on his scalp and a raven-haired scrawny man with emerald eyes laughing with them. But then, more images came along, a man with white hair and green eyes scowling down towards them from the shadows, along with him was a woman with night hair and blue eyes. He frowned and shook that image from his eyes. The man heard voices calling for him from behind, and with that, he placed down the wolf doll and turned on his heels to continue his duties as Alpha-Wolf.
"Hey, Akuma… look what I found!" A blonde girl whispered to her friend and reached up to take a book of the shelves.
The other women with an Irish black cap over her white hair and cerulean eyes peering out of the shadows, "Hm?" Akuma walked over to the other girl and looked at the dusty book they found in the dark corner of the library. "Memoirs of a Wolf?" she repeated the title that was engraved in the leather-bound book.
"It's about Kouga…" the blonde girl smiled and handed her the book, "You've been searching for Kouga, have you not?"
"…True…" Akuma reached for the book and opened the first page, "Kouga… Okami…" she shivered as she read this familiar name, "The biography of the last Alpha Wolf Youkai" She laughed softly, "So he became an Alpha, eh?"
The two girls walked up to the counter and placed the book in front of the uptight elderly woman at the desk and Akuma handed her the library card. The Librarian took it in her long, painted nails and snorted as she gave the laminated card to the owner, "Thank you, Miss Okami…"
