A/N: Hey sorry it took me so long to update, my computer caught a hacking virus and fucked it all up. Then between work and the gym I just haven't had the energy lol. This chapter really has nothing to do with the last few chapters but it has a lot to do with the story. Everything will come together though I promise. Please R/R. Thanks!

Chapter 7:

Born of love, Embraced by hate.

Born of love;

"Hey mom! Look at what I found!"

"What is it?" The long black haired woman says with a chuckle as her young song comes pouncing to her.

"I don't know, but it was really shiny, and pretty to! Just like you mom!" The young child says, a slight blush of embarrassment on his face."

"Oh my, it's a jewel!" The woman says with a slight bit of surprise. "Where on earth did you find this?"

"I found it outside the village mom." The child says with a wide smile.

"The outside of the village? I told you never to go beyond the walls of our village, it's to dangerous for one so young out there."

"It's ok momma, I didn't go far, I just wanted to see what it looked like out there."

The woman smiles lightly and goes down to one knee and embraces her son. "Your so much like your father. Always wanting to know what else is out there, not caring what anybody might say think or do."

The boy returns the hug but doesn't respond to what his mother says. Instead he simply just enjoys the loving embrace of the only person that matters to him, the only person that cares for him.

Before the mother and son part the woman whispers one more thing to her son. "You really are special, Inuyasha."

"Thanks mom." The two part and the woman glances back down at the jewel that her son just gave her. She notices how perfectly round it is. She continues to stare at it for several moments wile thinking. "This jewel, it could almost pass as the shikon jewel if it wasn't for it's size and color."

Inuyasha sees his mother staring at the jewel he just gave her and begins to frown. "You do like it, don't you momma?"

Slightly surprised by his question Izayoi looks up at her son and smiles warmly at him. "I love it Inuyasha, I was just thinking of how much it looked like another jewel that I know of."

Hearing his mothers approval of the gift Inuyasha's wide smile returns. "I'm glad you like it mom!"

Inuyasha happily swings around and with his arms out at his sides like a gliding bird he begins to run to the doorway when his mother speaks up.

"Inuyasha wait."

"Huh? What is it momma?"

"What do you know of your father?"

"Uhh, just what you've told me."

"Inuyasha, I know that others in the village have spoken of him to you, what have they said."

Inuyasha dips his head in sadness. He knows that his father was a demon and that he is a half demon however, the things he has heard from the villagers just couldn't be true!"

"Have they said anything of his goodness?"

"They've said… That father… was a murderer, and that the world is better off without filth like him on it." Tears begin to form in Inuyasha's eyes and he clenches his fists.

"Inuyasha, the men that your father killed were not in cold blood. It is true that he did kill many humans and demons alike but, he never killed anything or anyone without a reason for doing so. Always remember that your father was one of the most if not the most powerful demons in the world and despite his great power he lived his life for the protection of others."

"Was father always like that momma?"

Izoyai frowns a little and responds. "No, as he was growing up he was blinded by his demon ways and as such, sought to rule the western lands with fear. It was during this time that he met the mother of your brother. Shortly after his birth however your father left to continue expanding his empire. Wile he was gone however the dragon demon Ryukotsusei attacked your fathers home and killed your brothers mother. He would have killed your brother as well had it not been for the intervention of a group of demon slayers. They were hired to try and kill your father however when they saw Ryukotsusei attack and kill Sesshoumarou's mother and then go after Sesshoumarou they went after Ryukotsusei."

"I thought Ryukotsusei was almost as strong as father? How did a group of demon slayers manage to do anything?"

"Well, demon slayers are very skilled at what they do, they train their whole life and what they lack in strength they make for in skill and teamwork. They attacked with everything they had, and Ryukotsusei fought back. All in all Ryukotsusei probably would have killed the slayers off pretty fast even with their skills, but before he could kill them he sensed that your father was closing in on him and fast. Knowing that he wouldn't be able to survive a fight with your father and the demon slayers, he fled. The slayers were confused since they knew that the demon could have killed them right then and there, it wasn't long before the saw what saved them.

Your father appeared where your brother was in his dog demon form, he was about to attack the horrified slayers when a certain flea landed on him and told him the slayers actually saved his son. He calmed down and reverted back to his more human looking form. After hearing how the humans had saved his son he changed, he vowed never to spill the blood of another human or demon unless it was protecting the life of his son or the demon slayers who had helped save his son.

It was almost twenty five years later that he met me and the result from that, is you Inuyasha.

"But father still died, a human killed him. And if humans saved Sesshoumarou then why does he hate them?"

"Your father did in fact die at the hands of a human. Even though your father did change his ways and some people did forgive him there were many more who did not and who feared him because of his strength. However that human killed him more out of jealousy than anything, we humans are ruled by our emotions, you share those emotions with your human blood Inuyasha. You must never allow yourself to lose control because of an irrational emotion."

"That can't be to hard, I've never lost control yet!"

"Inuyasha, your life may not be an easy one and I won't always be here, just keep in mind that although some humans may never accept you, it doesn't mean that none will. Your father only met one human who accepted him for what he was aside from the demon slayers and that was me. However that didn't stop him from keeping humans safe. He gave his last breath to keep you and I safe. I would have done the same for him, as I would also do the same for you Inuyasha.

Embraced by hate;

Eleven years later:

"Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Where did he run off to this time?" Izayoi says after calling out to her son. Eleven years have passed since she spoke with her son about his father and aside from her face filling out a little more and her eyes slightly sinking a bit further in her appearance hasn't changed much.

Up high in the tops of the trees and red blur flashes by.

"Man I should be getting home soon, Mom's gonna be worried about me."

Just as this thought crosses his mind Inuyasha gets wind of something… familiar.

'Huh? That scent? I swear I've smelled it before. But, where? Well I guess there's only one way to find out!"

With that, Inuyasha bounds from one tree to the next in search of this new scent.

Back in the village Izayoi is inside her home stirring some kind of stew in a pot. She's humming to herself happily with a smile on her face. Wile she is cooking she doesn't notice the door to her home quietly open and then slowly close back again.

Inuyasha leaps over a small river and lands on the ground with ease despite the forty foot drop. He almost immediately begins running with his arms out through the shrubbery of the forest when he comes to a large clearing with a man dressed in white standing in it.

"Is that, a tail?" Inuyasha asks himself out loud .

The figure hears and smells someone behind him and swings around.

"His scent? His appearance. Could he be?" The figure thinks calmly to himself.

"HEY YOU! WHO ARE YOU?" Inuyasha calls out.

"He can't be though. He should have died along with father and that wench of a human!" The figure thinks to himself.

"HEY! DID YOU HEAR ME?! WHO ARE YOU?" Inuyasha asks again.

"Are you called Inuyasha?"

Slightly caught off guard by hearing this complete stranger call his name, Inuyasha takes an involuntary step back. "W-What?"

"Are you called Inuyasha? I won't ask again."

"How do you know who the hell I am? And why do you smell like that?"

"He can pick up my scent? He must be my half-breed brother."

"I am Sesshoumarou, your brother."

"SERIOUSLY? I thought I would never meet you!" Inuyasha says with excitement.

"And I had hope I never would meet you, half breed!"

"What? HEY WHATS WITH THE NAME CALLING?!"

"It's because of you and that wrenched human mother of yours that father is dead, for that and because of the human blood in your veins, you must die."

"Huh? Hey I never did anything to you!"

Inuyasha didn't have time to think or even act. Sesshoumarou with blazing speed crosses the distance between him and Inuyasha and hits Inuyasha with a strong right hook which sends Inuyasha skidding a good distance on the ground. Inuyasha begins to get up but before he can get half way off the ground Sesshoumarou kicks him in his mid section so hard that Inuyasha raises off the ground several feet. Inuyasha lets out a cry in pain only to be silenced by his brother bringing his elbow down onto the back of his head. The force of the blow causes Inuyasha to hit the ground so hard he sinks over a foot down. Inuyasha's eyes slowly open, his vision is blurry and his body feels weak. He begins to grow somewhat confused as the ground seems to slowly get further and further away. He soon realizes why however when he is brought face to face with Sesshoumarou.

"And to think, fathers blood runs through your veins. You don't deserve his blood. I will ensue that there isn't a drop of blood left in your body."

Inuyasha is still to delirious to speak however he understands every word. Before he can say anything though he feels immense pain in his mid section and he gives out a cry in pain. Sesshoumarou spears his hand through Inuyasha's mid section all the way through and out his back. Inuyasha's vision begins to blur and go dark as he begins to slip into shock.

Izayoi is setting up for dinner for herself and Inuyasha. She is still humming the melody to herself wile moving from the cooking area to the dining area. Unaware of the murderous eyes that are glaring at her. She sets her knife down next to one of the pots and then grabs a rag and wipes her hands off.

"Inuyasha should have been back by now, he's never late for dinner." She thinks to herself.

She turns in the direction of the door but as soon as she crosses into the next room a hand wraps around her mouth and pulls her off to the side.

Inuyasha's vision is almost completely gone dark when somewhere in the back of his mind he hears something.

"Inuyasha!"

The sound of his panicked mothers voice in his mind causes Inuyasha's eyes to snap open. A low feral growl slips out from under his breath and the vibrations from the growl go up Sesshoumarou's arm.

"Well I see you have a little fight in you after all."

"Let-me-GOOOOOOOOO!"

With a loud yell Inuyasha grabs onto Sesshoumarou's arm and with all of his strength he slowly and painfully pulls his brothers hand out of him. Sesshoumarou face doesn't show the slightest bit of strain or surprise however Inuyasha doesn't notice or care.

"Even if you get free you have no hope of defeating me."

"Think I care!"

"You should."

Sesshoumarou's arm once again begins inching it's way into Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha! Help me!"

Inuyasha brings his feet up and pushes off of Sesshoumarou with his hands and feet. Once again he begins to pull Sesshoumarou's hand from inside of him.

"You should stop fighting, your only bringing more pain to yourself."

"Would.. You.. Shut.. Up!"

"You'll never be able to beat me, why are you even trying?"

"Because, someone needs me!"

With that Inuyasha manages to pull himself free and falls with his back on the ground. After putting all of his strength in getting himself away from his brother he lacks enough to even get up. He listens to the sounds of his brothers footsteps getting closer to him, without thinking Inuyasha grabs two hand full's of dirt. He then feels his neck begin to burn in five places.

Sesshoumarou looks down at Inuyasha with a look of mild amusement. He begins to walk up to him and then he wraps his hand around Inuyasha's throat. He raises Inuyasha off the ground with a green mist emitting from his hand. He begins to squeeze when Inuyasha swings both of his hands up and throws as much dirt and sand as he could grab into Sesshoumarou's eyes. Sesshoumarou immediately drops Inuyasha and Inuyasha wastes no time. He leaps away and runs as fast as he can back to his village.

"Curse you Inuyasha! Mark my words the day will come where your existence will end!"

Driven by the voice of his panicked mother in his head Inuyasha is moving almost as fast as he would if he were unharmed. It doesn't take long for Inuyasha to reach his village again. He leaps and bounds on roof tops and through the streets to his home. He swings the door open and his eyes grow wider then when he got impaled by his brother. There, in a pool of blood is his mother and standing over her is two large men, one with a sword and the other with a knife both with wide grins.

"Hey, look at what the cat dragged in." The sword wielding man says.

"It looks like your to late to save your bitch of a mommy there pup." The man with the knife says.

Inuyasha can't speak nor can he move. The sight of his mother overwhelming him.

"I think he's about to cry. Lets go ahead and kill him wile were at it." Swordsman says.

As the two men begin to walk up to Inuyasha the swordsman says one last remark. It would be the last words he speaks.

"Just remember mutt, she only died because of you!"

He raises his sword and begins to bring it down aiming at Inuyasha's head. Inuyasha still looking at his mother raises his own hand and catches the mans arm. He doesn't even give him a chance to yell, with one strong pull he rips the mans arm out at the elbow and slices the mans throat with his own sword. The knife wielding man sees this and tries to turn and run however he doesn't make it far. Inuyasha's hand wraps around his neck and he swings the terrified man around.

"P-P-Please…M-M-M-Mercy!"

"The only mercy you'll get from me, is a quick death you son of a bitch!"

Inuyasha takes the sword that he stole from the first killer and shoves it down the other mans throat. He then tosses the corpse off into a corner without a care as to where he lands. Inuyasha then collapses to the ground and looses consciousness. The loss of blood, slight poisoning and, energy exertion proving to much for him.

It would be several days before he wakes back up. He comes to in his villages shrine where the village doctors have brought him to try and heal him. Although they did a good job healing him physically, there would be nothing any of them could do about his emotional and mental status. Inuyasha now has nobody, his mother is dead and his brother made it very clear that he didn't want him alive ether. Inuyasha gets up without a word and bounds off into the jungle. He didn't care where he was going he just wanted to leave.

After two years of living out on his own Inuyasha has lost most of his human side, however it is still there. His weak side still makes it's presence known on the night of the new moon. It is on these nights that all of the pain of that days events come back to him. Wile he's been on his own though he has heard of a jewel that possess the power to change a half-demon into a full demon or a full human. Inuyasha has been searching for the village where this jewel is kept. It was fate for him to find the village and once he found it, his life would truly begin. He would embark on a journey that would take him places that he would never imagine.

A/N: Well there you have it. My version of Inuyasha's history. I don't know if anything I put conflicts with the actual story line but if it does then oh well. I know this had very little to do with the last chapters however in order for me to go on I needed to put Inuyasha's past. Things that happened in this last chapter are going to have an effect of the rest of the story. That plus my original idea for Kagome's "plan" seemed very dumb so I decided to come up with a better one. Well I hope everyone enjoys the story and as always please R/R.

Thank you to the few that have reviewed my story so far, I really do appreciate it.
