-Flashback Sesshomaru's Point of View-
I stood behind my father as he gazed at the sea. His wounds were terrible, yet I knew the old fool planned to fight again. He was going to save his stupid human pet. Blood dripped onto the sand from his wounds. I attempted to speak sense to him.
"Father. Do you insist on going?"
"Do you intent to stop me, Sesshomaru?"
"I will not stand in your way. However, before you go you must entrust the swords So'unga and Tetsuseiga to me."
"And if I refuse, will you kill me? Your own father?"
The waves crashed to shore in the short silence that followed. I stayed quiet to let my father speak.
"Do you desire power so much?"He paused and growled softly. "Why do you seek power, my son?"
"The path I walk is the way of supreme conquest, and it is power that will reveal the way for me." I answered.
"Supreme conquest." He growled. "Tell me, Sesshomaru. Have you someone to protect?"
"Protect?" I paused to think of my answer and my thoughts turned to Nanami. "The answer is no. I, Sesshomaru, have no need of such.
My father howled and transformed into his full demon form. I let him leave without any more words. I needn't express my thoughts on how foolish he was being.
"Why would I have any reason to waste my time protecting someone? Ridiculous."
-Touga's Point of View-
I fled from my son and headed towards the place I had left Izayoi. Myoga spoke to me earnestly as he clung to my fur.
"Please Master I beg of you not to be so rash! You must reconsider, my lord! Your wounds from your battle with Ryukotsusei have not yet healed! This is sheer madness!"
"That doesn't matter! I cannot afford to lose her!"
"Please my lord!"
"Besides, I am not long for this world."
"Master!"
I stopped upon a ridge and howled. Izayoi. I thought. I am coming for you.
I used my wind scar to destroy the gate and knock the humans out of my path. After the second strike I was inside the walls of the mansion.
"Izayoi! Izayoi!"
"At last you've come, demon. A little late though."
"What!?"
"Lady Izayoi is beyond your reach now. I dispatched her myself."
"Damn you fool!"
I charged the human soldier in front of me. My thoughts were consumed with finding my Izayoi. The human lost his arm as I passed and entered the building. His words echoed behind me.
"Set the mansion afire! With that demon and everyone inside! Burn it to the ground!"
I burst through the flaming door to where my Izayoi lay with a crying infant. The building around me began to collapse as I overturned the tent above Izayoi. I called out to here only to find her bloody body curled around a child. Without hesitation I drew Tenseiga.
"Carry out my will, Tenseiga."
I slashed at the hell demons, destroying them. Izayoi opened her eyes and I pulled out the robe of the Fire Rat. I helped her sit up and wrapped Izayoi in the cloth. The human soldier stood in the doorway. I stood in his path and unsheathed So'unga.
"I have no regrets about fighting you to the death. Let us journey together into the nether world."
"Live long," I spoke.
"My dearest!" Izayoi whimpered.
"InuYasha."
"What is that?" The human soldier asked.
"The infants name. The child shall be called InuYasha."
"InuYasha." Izayoi looked at the child and whispered his name.
"Now go!" I commanded her.
"Hm? Yes!" Izayoi nodded.
With that she fled from the burning mansion, out into the cold winter night. I summoned power in So'unga and began to battle with the human. The mansion soon collapsed on top of us.
-End Flashback-
-Kagome's Point of View, Present Day-
"Hey that hurt y'know."
"I said I'm sorry now put the hat on, Kay?"
I stood beside InuYasha as we stopped on our walk back to my home. He sniffed the air and I could tell he was uneased.
"I sense a strong demonic aura."
I frowned and looked down at the ground when InuYasha jumped suddenly. He moved in front of me as a sword flew towards us.
"Stand back Kagome!"
"Finally," A voice coming from the sword spoke. "It's calmed down."
"What's that?" InuYasha asked.
"Well if it isn't Tetsuseiga. It's been a long time."
"Who are you?!"
"You wouldn't happen to be InuYasha?"
"Huh? I don't make a habit of talking to swords okay!"
"Well I don't blame you for not remembering." The voice laughed. "After all you were a newborn last time we met. I am the ancient one Saiya. Your father wielded So'unga, the powerful sword of the honorable ruler. And I am So'unga's sheath."
"My father?"
The sword started to free itself from the sheath and I almost hide behind InuYasha. Saiya began to get upset and a bright light began emitting from the sword.
"Oh no! It's acting up again!"
I have a bad feeling about that sword, I thought.
"Move quickly InuYasha!" Saiya yelled, popping out of the sheaths crest. "Hurry and take firm hold of So'unga or great catastrophe will befall these lands!"
"Ha! Why should I start taking orders from you?"
"Oh! It's too late now!" Saiya cried and covered his head.
There was a bright flash of light and the sword and sheath separated as the blade flew up into the air. Saiya floated up in front of us.
"It's freed itself" He said in a shaky voice.
The sword dropped back to the ground. Upon touching the ground it turned the buildings to dirty rubble and the clear air became smoggy and polluted. The city turned to a rubble wasteland in seconds.
"What is this?"
"What happened?"
"Can the two of you see this?" Saiya asked. "You are looking at the future of this land which So'unga will surely bring about."
"This is… The future?" I asked in shock.
"So'unga's frightening power will darken the skies and cause the lands to decay. Many people will die."
"What can we do to prevent this from happening?" I asked.
"You must take So'unga and leave this land. But be warned. A human must never wield the sword."
"And if a human did take hold of it?"
"The world would face certain doom," Saiya answered.
I gasped as Saiya continued.
"Anyone wielding So'unga will go on a killing spree that won't stop until every other human is dead, whether it takes decades or centuries. It is well known that humans are more arrogant and greedy than any other living creature. When a human comes to possess the power of So'unga, he inevitably becomes more malevolent than any demon."
"I'll have to do it." InuYasha spoke. I'll put the sword back in its sheath."
"InuYasha," I said with concern in my voice. "Please! Be careful!"
InuYasha walked towards the sword in the ground. The sword sparkled with purple light as he got closer. When he gripped the swords handle, purple lightening emanated from the blade. InuYasha groaned in pain as he tried to pull the sword from the ground. He succeeded with more effort and the surrounding area returned to normal.
"Oh, thank goodness," I sighed
I bent and picked up the sheath, and began walking it to InuYasha. He stayed slumped over, holding the sword.
"Here's your hat."
"Stay away!" InuYasha said in a strained voice.
I gasped as I watch the sword attaching itself to InuYasha's arm. He groaned in pain as his arm and the sword became one. I touched his shoulder and called out to him in concern. His eyes were red when he turned around and he shoved me to the ground. I scooted away as he stepped closer, calling his name in fear this time.
InuYasha stood holding the sword over my head as if to strike me. He resisted as much as he could.
"What's this damn sword doing to me?" He asked with pain in his voice.
Wicked laughter came from the sword as it spoke.
"I take it you are his son."
"You must be So'unga"
"You thought you were strong enough to subdue me? Obey me, the great So'unga! Do so and I shall make you supreme ruler of these lands."
"That aint gonna happen!" InuYasha struggled. "Unfortunately for you, that's not the kind of thing I care about! I know a place that's better for you. I can take you there."
"InuYasha?"
"I'm gonna get rid of this thing." He said.
"Get rid of it? How are you gonna—"
"It's my old man's sword. I should be able to do something about it."
"Yeah, but…"
"Don't you dare follow me."
I shuddered as InuYasha left. I had never feared him this way before.
"Bye Kagome!" He said as he ran off down the street.
"InuYasha!" I cried out, getting to my feet.
Okay! There's part one! I know we didn't see a lot of Sesshomaru and Nanami yet but we will! I'm going to make the next chapter longer to get through a lot. Then the last chapter of the movie part will be epic. Keep reading! It gets good! Please review too! And thanks for taking this story over 400 hundred views!
