Almost six months went by since the first attack on the village, sadly many more was to follow after the first. Not huge attacks, but small ones the villagers could handle. Even so, the villagers were furious that they were occasionly attacked by demons. But most of the time, life was normal for the villagers, well besides for Inuyasha. Little by little Inuyasha noticed that everything and everyone around him was changing. His old friends now mocked him and ignored him, and many of the villagers barely pat any attention to him, acting as if he was never there.
But it was alright for Inuyasha. He was growing up now, so now all his senses have become stronger, and he's become more aware of the things around him. He sometimes ran out into the woods, climbed tree, or lied in the grass observing everything around him, just for the fun of it. Living his life as any kid should.
Izayoi saw the changes in Inuyasha, and was so happy for his growing boy. But she also saw the reactions, and the way people treated Inuyasha. She never told him the difference between humans, hayou's, and demons yet, but she knew that if she waited, someday he'll get hurt. But what to say to a six year to make him understand the cruel parts of life and people.
"Inuyasha would you like to help me with my patients today?" Izayoi asked Inuyasha as she poured him a bowl of rice.
"I was hoping to play with my friends today." Inuyasha said with a mouth full of rice
"Okay than, just don't get into any trouble" Izayoi laughed as she wiped Inuyasha's mouth. Inuyasha blushed and took the napkin himself
"C'mon mother I can do it" Inuyasha said before wiping his mouth.

As soon as he was done with breakfast Inuyasha ran outside to meet his friends. In the village, people still gave him the same cold stares, but it didn't mind him he was used to it. He came up to a group of kids who were filling up water buckets.
"Hey guys wanna play around somewhere"
"Sorry Inuyasha I'm gonna help my pa in the fields today."
"I'm doing chores today too, maybe tomorrow."
The kids waved goodbye to Inuyasha and Inuyasha continued his way around the village.
"Everyone is doing chores…I guess I can go meet mother than"
As he crossed the headmen's palace he saw a group of people in a circle passing a ball with their feet. Inuyasha followed the ball's movement and felt like he do it too. All around people laughed, talked, cheered on in the game. Inuyasha was enchanted by the fun and walked over to the crowd.
"Oh here comes Inuyasha" said one of the villagers
As everyone on looked upon the little hayou, they stopped laughing and cheering and began gossiping about the strange little boy
"Can I play too? Please" Inuyasha said as he approached one of the players
"Sure, but can you reach it." the player said as he raised the ball, high enough so Inuyasha can't reach. Inuyasha waved his hands to grab the ball, but he just couldn't reach it. People began to laugh and tease Inuyasha, but that didn't mean anything to him. Inuyasha was now more than determined to get the ball. He wanted to show them that he can play too.
"Please, I just want to play with you guys."
"Sure Hayou. Here fetch!"
And the player throws it in the opposite direction. Inuyasha quickly ran after the ball as it bounced its way across a bridge, unaware that everyone began to leave. By the time he turned around he saw that everyone was gone, leaving with their laughter and happiness. Inuyasha stood there with the ball in his hand, listening as the people left.
His ear rang. As he hear them call him a hayou, a half-breed, and many other things, he never heard before. But the one that got him was the "H" word…Hayou
"Hayou?" Inuyasha whispered. "I don't get it? Am I a hayou? I wonder why…."
"Inuyasha…"
Inuyasha turned around and saw his mother starting at him, with her gentle smile. But her eyes were filled with sadness. Inuyasha didn't now it at the time, but Izayoi was there watching the entire thing that happened to him. She felt so sad for her little boy.
Inuyasha dropped the ball and ran into his mothers arms. Izayoi embraced Inuyasha and rubbed his soft silver hair.
"Mother…what's a hayou?"
"What"
"Tthe villagers called me a hayou…what does it mean?"
Izayoi was hurt, she knew it would happen, but she didn't want Inuyasha be known as the hayou, just Inuyasha. Her precious Inuyasha. Then without knowing tears fell from her eyes, and Izayoi hugged Inuyasha even tighter.
"Mother"
"Inuyasha, I'm sorry"

Izayoi and Inuyasha went back to their home and sat outside. There in the back was a small stream, where they usually get their water or wash thier clothes, but for now, they both just stared at each others reflection. Inuyasha sat between his mother's legs while Izayoi rest her arms on Inuyasha's shoulders.
Both didn't say a word for awhile. Inuyasha felt bad for making him mother cry. He never saw that before, and to know he caused her pain made him feel terrible. Izayoi was so lost in her thoughts. She thought of a good way to tell, but it all seemed so futile.
"Inuyasha"
"Yes mother"
"Hayou means Half-Breed. Half human, half demon. Since I'm a human and your father was a demon, you are a half-breed."
"So I'm half human, and half demon."
"Yes"
"So is that…is that why many of the villagers don't like me"
"Yes"
"I don't understand, mother"
"A lot of humans fear demons of any kind. So when you're half demon, they wouldn't accept you as their own. Fearing that one day you'll betray them"
"But I don't get it…I wouldn't hurt the village."
"I know, you're a good boy Inuyasha. It's just humans are very selfish and judgmental. They cannot help but to fear you."
"What about demons?"
"Demons well…I don't know much about demons. But I do know that only some can be trusted."
"Will they accept me."
"No. If you're not truly one of them, than they will not accept you. They only care for their own."
"Then where does that leave me"
"I don't know"
Both were once again quite for a while. Not knowing what to say to each other
"Inuyasha"
"yes mother"
"Even though there are humans and demons who won't accept you, there are still a few who will. And when you do meet that few, I promise you'll feel accepted and happy to be around the them. Those will become the people you cherish most."
"Like you"
"Yep" Izayoi places Inuyasha in her lap. "No matter what happens to me, I want you to live on. To someday gain a life with friends, family and love. That is all I want Inuyasha."
"Mother we'll be together for now on, right."
"Yes, I promise I won't leave you Inuyasha." Inuyasha jumps, and hugs his mother around her neck.
"And I promise to always help and protect you mother."
Izayoi chuckled as she hugged Inuyasha "We'll protect each other. I love so much, my little Inuyasha"
"I love you too mother"
