He Saved Me
Izayoi's POV
It was late at night. It's going to be the longest night of my life, I thought. I had gone into labor a few hours ago. I knew that this child would be a half demon.
The mansion I was currently in, was being guarded, by Takimaru's men. I know the troops have been waiting outside for sometime. They are waiting for the opportunity to kill InuTaisho, my dearest. They know he is coming. They have been waiting for this for a long time now.
I started thinking of the joy. The joy I would experience if the child, and I survived. The joy of my dearest coming, to join me.
"My dearest", I silently called for InuTaisho, my husband, to come for me. And save me, like he had always done before.
But, a voice said he wouldn't come this time.
"The night of a lunar eclipse. Excellent. It's the perfect time to slay a demon", I heard outside the room. It was definitely a man, and his voice was low. I was able to hear his words, even if they were very faint.
"Who is it?" I asked weakly.
"I is I," said the voice. "Takimaru of Setsunga"
"Takimaru?" I asked again weakly. "Thank goodness you've arrived," I told him, relived.
"You must gather the men standing guard outside and leave at once," I explained. "Please do as I say. I fear there is no one who is srong enough to challenge him. "
I know that he loved me. And that even if he was the leader of he troop that was waiting to kill me, he would still kill InuTaisho.
"My lady, I have long felt a deep connection with you, as you are aware," he told me. "Even though I raelize full well that your heart has been captured by a demon. "
With him saying that, he took out his sprear, with a little blood on it, and thrusted it through the door. Aimed, at me.
"Aaaaarrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh!" I screamed. The speear stuck in my flesh. I knew I was dying. Heard Takimaru walk away from me. I thought of the joy once again for a second, and reached out to the moon, again, silently calling InuTaisho. Then felt nothing.
Suddenly, I felt my heart, beating again. The blood in my veins, which had layed still, rushed through again. I felt the life coming back to me. And, my eyes fluttered. I knew he had used Tenseiga to save me.
Above me, I saw who I never thought would come. InuTaisho. He came for me.
Then, I heard crying. I saw it was the child I had been waiting for. He had silver hair, the softest skin, the cutest face, and the fluffiest and smallest dog ears I've ever seen above his head.
He put Tenseiga back in his sieve, and took the cloth of fur from the fire rat, and put it around me.
Suddenly, Takimaru came back through the doorway, his left arm missing.
"I have no regrets about fighting you to the death. Let us journey together to the netherworld," he said to InuTaisho, ready for battle.
"Move mon," my dearest told me.
I gasped. "My dearest!" I whiseperd. I moved back a few steps, with my newborn child wrapped in a cloth.
"InuYasha," he said.
"What is that?" asked Takimaru.
"The infant's name," InuTaisho answered.
"The child shall be called InuYasha," he said to me.
"InuYasha," I said back.
"Now go!" he told me.
"Yes," I answered. I ran away, going to the back of the mansion, just as he had told me to do.
I ran as fast as I could, still barefoot, yp a hill behind the masion. I looked back, at InuTaisho, and Takimaru, still inside the mansion. I sighed, quietly.
InuYasha stared crying again, and I looked at him. He was beautiful.
I prayed silently that InuTaisho would survive, and that I would meet him again someday. But, I heard a voice, saying he wouldn't come for me anymore.
