The beginning of Taisho's tale

Inuyasha watched his brother start singing to drown out his father's voice. He was so not related, to-to-to either of them in fact! They-they-they were both insane, either that or Taisho had driven Sesshomaru to insanity, yeah that's right, insanity- uh-huh. Sesshomaru would never do that, ever-ever-ever-ever-ever. He felt unbeivably sorry for his brother suddenly. He was drawn from his thoughts when the ground started vibrating, non-stop. He looked up to see that Sesshomaru had stopped singing and was torturing their father, I think you can all guess how,

"SITSITSITSITSITsit!sit! sit, sit" He paused to hear the groans of agony from the newly formed crater next to him, shaking slightly.Kagome was bawling with laughter, Miroku held a look of pure pity, and Sango, Shippo, and even Kirara(Kilala) were just gaping. Rin stared in horror, while Jaken in misbelief. "Come here, Rin, Jaken. We're leaving,"he shuddered, "now." He whipped around to be thrown face first into the ground, Taisho glaring at him from above, and so the war raged on,

"You're just like your mother!"

"Good!"He growled getting up out of the dirt, "At least I know where I got sense from!"

"Why you little-"

"Little what? I'm your son, whatever I am, you are too."

"I'll smash your face into that dirt so hard you'll never see anything but it again!"

"Well, then, you'll just have to join me! Won't you!" Kagome blinked, no good would ever come of this, maybe she should stop- "Don't worry, Kagome" She turned to see Totosai and Myoga staring back at her, "They're making up, like you and him" Totosai jerked his thumb toward Inuyasha, who was gaping at the two raging youkai, at each others' necks now. But she knew that this wasn't anywhere near making up.

"I despise you," Sesshomaru snarled.

"Feeling's mutual."

"So it is,"

"It is."

" You are useless to this world and have no reason of living. And I've got a tale to remind you of!"

"Oh really, and that is?"

"When you got killed, my father."

"Ho, you critize(sp?) me on that as well?"

"Yes, of course. If you had acted rationally, you would have taken the mortal, picked her up, then ran out of the fire, oh but, I forgot, you had to be heroic and go to fight a mortal and die in the fire." Sesshomaru yelled at him.

"I was dying and I knew I was! What is the point of trying to live when you know you not gonna!" Apparently, Taisho was not about to let his son win this arguement. Sesshomaru studied him, seeming to have known the answer for years,

"Him,"He said softly, gesturing toward Inuyasha. Taisho shut up, it was true, very true. Now that he thought about it, if he had thought it through, Inuyasha would've probably had it easier.Inuyasha meanwhile was still utterly and completely lost, why was Sesshomaru yelling at Taisho, why about him? And was he actually trying to stand up for him? Lost. Taisho looked sorrowfully at him, sighing he nodded, then cuffed Sesshomaru over the head.

"He's right, I suppose I wasn't thinking when that happened, I should of. Well, you're here that's all that counts, ne?" He smiled good-naturely. And pulled Inuasha into a hug, who was now more confused than ever. Inuyasha's ear twitched, and to everyone's surprise, Taisho's did too, as though responding, and Inuyasha hugged his father back. Now understanding that he was safe. Sesshomaru watched from his spot, knowing that his father was as much of an idiot that you could ever find, but when you got hugged by him, you basically had to forgive that lump of fur. Miroku suddenly coughed, Taisho let go and looked at him with that, yes-we-are-having-a-moment-here-what-do-you-want? look.

"I just wanted to ask, how did you awaken, milord?" Taisho cocked his head and thought about it,

"Before I answer that, might I ask who you might be? Along with the two women and the. . . snack?" Shippo shuddered, and Kagome and Sango couldn't help but feel as though Taisho was the tiniest bit evil.

"I am a monk, milord."

"You're not listening, are you? Names would be nice. . "

"My name is Miroku, sir. And this is-"

"I'm perfectly capable of introducing myself, thanks," Sango snapped, stepping away from Miroku, "I am called Sango, the last of the demon slayers."

"Ah, so you are, and this one?" Taisho inclined gently toward Shippo.

"I'm Shippo! And I'm a kitsune! Not a snack!"

"Of course you could be. . "Taisho whispered to himself, ignoring Shippo's glares, "And this young lady here would be. . . "

"Kagome Higurashi-"

"You're not from here, yes, yes, I know." Kagome studied him, were her clothes that big of a giveaway. Miroku cleared his throat again,

"Now, that we've all been introduced, would you kindly tell us how you awakened?"

"Well. it is quite a tale-" Sesshoamru suddenly hissed.

"So, you'll tell the mortals, but not me? I understand father. You are still too trusting of humans, you know you should really-"

"Quiet, you." Taisho sat down and folded his legs, and the others followed the gesture. " You see, I am fully aware that I should be dead, but, a little birdie told me that my youngest son was in need of help, and that little birdie wanted to see her son as well, but she was a bit more concerned about his safety. Kinda like the other one who's more demonic than I'll ever be." Sesshomaru seemed to jerk slightly at that statement. He had found a nice tree to sit in and was currently holding Rin on his lap to prevent her from falling, seeing how she wanted to stay up with him, and refused to stay with Jaken. Kagome and Sango found it rather amusing, while Shippo just pictured a big white dog with even bigger teeth.

"At anyrate, she told me to do what I could, told me, might I add, meant threatening to give me pigtails, and braid them. But that really doesn't matter, you see, I simply. . . .

Yup, a cliffie, oh, I'm terrible. Yeah! one hundred reviews. . . YEAH! Anyway, Let's take a vote! Who wants Izaiyoi in the story? Who wants Sesshomaru's mom? Who wants both? Oh and sorry people, I've gotta end it sometime, probably in the next two or three chapters, unless you review, then it might be in the next four or five chapters. I know that I overdue the 'sit' thing' heheh, can't get enough of it. They all sure argue a lot. Taisho's a big softie, and my sister, Gryphon wings,(no account, shall make one soon though) have agreed that Taisho could have grabbed Izaiyoi and run, without fighting and survived anyways, but, that's our problem. (sigh) How do you get the stupid stars to stay! and same with the little 'equals' and thing above the six at the top of the keyboard? Help me! Ja ne! Review please! And vote!
