A/N: Here's a Thanksgiving treat for all who celebrate it. And I not enjoy a new chapter anyway!

Chapter 10

InuYasha growled at Sesshomaru's words of his father. InuYasha was abandoned by both his mother and father, or so he thought. "Keh, you are some messed up bastard. My father might have gave me this fang, but he meant nothing to me. Besides even if I did give a shit about him I surly wouldn't wear this fang in his honor. So unless you want to be ripped to pieces, I suggest you leave the fang around my neck." He moved to get up but a strange force held him down. "Dammit, just what the hell is this?!" InuYasha, cursed as he struggled to get free.

"Typical half breed, you can't even sense a barrier give it up. You'll never break free from it, it will hold you till I get what I want." Sesshomaru was almost smiling, as he walked closer to his weak half brother. "So you think this Sesshomaru, has no clue what that fang does? I know more about you then you'll ever know, Little brother." He was now standing over InuYasha, and the look of pure hatered was on his face. "Father cared greatly for you, why do you think you carry his fang. It not only keeps you from total destruction, but once forged into a sword. It is known as sword that can kill a hundred demons in one stroke. No InuYasha, father favored you over his true son."

"Feh, like I'd believe your words? And you call me pathetic, you honestly expect me to believe you're my half brother? You better find something other then words to convince me of that one." Still unable to get free, InuYasha cursed his shitty luck. 'Damn, I hope Kagome is safe." He thought. Looking around the room, InuYasha tired to think of away out. After what Kouga did to him he feared once the wolf was able to get around he'd surly go after her. 'Damn mangy wolf, he's dead next time I find him.'

"Looking for a way out, InuYasha?" Sesshomaru all but said with a snicker. He was enjoying his little session with his brother, but soon he'd take what he originally wanted. "Just give me the fang around your neck and I'll let you go, it's simple really."

With a smile InuYasha replied. "You must be a fool to think I'd crack so easy, and to think you thought you had it all figured out. You want this fang to gain your power fine, just go ahead and take it from me." Sesshomaru didn't move as he looked over his wounded half brother, then turned to leave. InuYasha growled with anger seeing that his so called half brother, was leaving. "HEY! Get your ass back here, I told you to take the damn thing already." He struggled more, but all he did was reopen his wounds. Blood started to cover the bandages more and he cursed his rotten luck.

"You really do take me for a fool, InuYasha. You want me to release the barrier and once it's gone you'll make your move. Not that it really matters though, I can easily defeat you. For now I have other ways to get what I desire." With those words said he was off. Leaving his half brother to decided his own fate once he returned.

An old looking man stood outside the door, but he wasn't human. Seeing Sesshomaru pass through the door empty handed, made the old demon half smile. "So I take it you were unable to get the fang?" I expected as much, that young brat is just as stubborn as you and your father." He moved from his spot by the door and followed Sesshomaru. "Looks like I'll head back, I doubt you'll get the fang anyway. Your brother may be only half, but he is strong."

"Hmph, rediculous Tōtōsai. No hanyou could ever be stronger then I, Sesshomaru. I will get the fang and I'll have it very soon. I only require one thing." A bright light started to glow around Sesshomaru and soon a magical balloon surrounded him. "Do not leave old sword smith, I'll return in one hour. After that I will possess the fang, and the sword of power after that." Tōtōsai covered his eyes from the blinding light as the powerful yōkai left.

"Crazy demon, like he could hold the Tessaiga once it was forged anyway." Tōtōsai mumbled to himself. With no one around, he made his way to InuYasha. Going into the room he heard the young hanyou cursing as he continued to struggle free. "Keep that up and you'll bleed to death. Just look at you, son of the great dog demon. Your father would surly be disappointed in both his sons right now." The old demon took in a deep and blew out a huge ball of fire. The sutra holding up the barrier went up in flames. "There now you're free young one, but be warned your brother will not rest till he gets the sword he desires."

Weak from struggling, InuYasha slowly set up. "I don't know who the hell you are old demon, but I will thank you for the help." He found his shirt and went for it. Slowly he putting it on he knew it would soon be soaked, blood still dripped from his bandages and now started coving his shirt. However he paid it little mind, he needed to find Kagome or at least get free so he could recover. InuYasha found himself half dizzy from the blood loss, still he fought to continue on.

"Off already young one?" He stood at the door not allowing him passage. "I think you better let me explain a few things before you leave InuYasha. It will also give you're body a little time to let the bleeding stop." The hanyou cursed under his breath, but left the old demon talk. "You may think you were tossed out by your parents, but sadly both your parents died the day you were born."

InuYasha froze at his words his eyes were wide with confusion, then made a smart remark. "Feh, like you knew my old man. What is this another one of Sesshomaru's tricks?" He want to push forward passed the old demon when he stopped him with his hot flames. "Damn you!" InuYasha cursed, stepping back a little.

"Now that I've got your attention, InuYasha. Let me explain this to you, I know you will find my words very interesting." InuYasha didn't really care to listen to the old demon, but found he had little say in the matter. "Now then InuYasha, your father was known for miles away as the leader of the western lands. He mated a full blooded demon, hundreds of years before finding your mother. It was when he found your mother that he knew he found his true love, even though she was human."

InuYasha gave a deep yawn, showing he still didn't care for what he was hearing. It matter very little to him now, whether or not his parent did or didn't reject him. "Look old man, to me it doesn't matter. They're dead, I grew up alone never knowing them. There's not much more to tell really. It's in the past, and as far as I'm concerned it can stay there." After his words, InuYasha heard the old man sneaker. Of course this angered him even more. InuYasha was about let the him have it when...

*BANG!* The old demon smacked InuYasha with his magic hammer.

"Shut up and listen you unrulely child, your father gave you a very powerful gift. That fang around your neck not only keeps your demon in check. Once forged into a sword it can not only destroy a hundred demons, but also protect humans. Haven't you noticed there are more demons around then usual? Your father also encountered such actions when he was alive. It is the second reason you were given his fang. I know this because I served your father in his time alive, he also died protecting you and your mother." Tōtōsai watched as InuYasha started to understand there was something big happening, not that he liked the idea that what was happening. It also seemed that all the pressured was on him to do the good deed and save everyone. "My name is Tōtōsai, and when the time is right you will bring me the fang and I will forge the very sword your father entrusted to you."

Taking a few seconds to let everything register, InuYasha then replied. "So this fang can be made into a sword, and I'm the only one who can hold it?" His hand went to the fang that was tied to a leather string around his neck. He had no clue it was so powerful and he was also starting to wonder if he was wrong about his parents. He was about to ask when he heard a familiar voice. "Kagome?" He said in a confused tone.
