Summary:

Have you ever thought about the relationship between the moon and the water?

They reside in two different realms, one in the sky and the other on the land but this huge distance seems to be nothing in front of their relationship because if we see the surface of the water at night, the moon is always there in its embrace. Water is so delicate that even a feather fallen upon its surface creates ripples but when the moon touches it at night then neither are there any ripples nor any sound because their relationship is natural. This is a relationship of an everlasting reflection, forms when the moon crosses the realms to meet the water.

This is a tale of love amidst chaos, sacrifices for the sake of honour, and an impossible possibility that transformed the ordinary fighters to the extent of the Gods. And all this started when Sesshomaru crossed the time and dimension to retrieve his stolen Tensaiga and met Tia Halibel.

Around 1000 years ago

Bernhard Castle (somewhere in the present day Europe)…

Brotherhood of Light, an order of the warriors committed to fight in the name of Supreme Almighty, was fighting against the three Lords of Shadow and their legion which comprised of vampires, werewolves, necromancers, and other creatures of the darkness. Gabriel Belmont, a warrior of great caliber with immense devotion towards Supreme Almighty in his heart, was bravely leading the forces of the Brotherhood of Light. He was unaware of the fact that a powerful Acolyte of Satan, Raisa Volkova, was keeping an eye on this battle all this time, moreover, she was the one responsible for pushing this war to such a devastating scale.

Even though the soldiers of the Brotherhood of Light were trying to eliminate each and every creature of darkness yet thousands of them escaped the war and slowly spread throughout the world. On the other hand, Gabriel Belmont proved to be more than a match for the Lords of Shadow and thus both sides were forced to unleash their complete strength. This terrible clash of light and darkness resulted in an eruption of such destructive energy which enveloped the entire earth and began to kill all those living beings that were too weak to withstand these deathly vibes. Infants, old people, diseased, and pregnant women hardly survived the killer energy that was swarming the World of the Living.

Soul Society…

It had been several months since the Shinigamis were trying to find the hideout of the Quincies so that instead of hunting them down one by one, they can wipe them all out at once. However, the Lord of the Quincies i.e. Yhwach eventually showed himself along with his powerful Quincy army and sieged the entire Soul Society. All the strategies and arrangements employed by the Seireitei for tracking down the Quincies beforehand and preventing them from entering the Soul Society failed miserably. Genryusai Yamamoto and all other Captains had left with no other choice except fighting to the death because it was clear that Quincies were going to win the war. The main reason behind such a miserable condition of the Soul Society was an Acolyte of Satan whose name was Guido Szandor. All this time, Guido Szandor was guiding and aiding the Quincy army due to some unknown reasons.

When Genryusai and the remaining Captains were very close to their defeat, Soul King himself descended from his palace along with the Zeroth Squad and they proved to be the game-changers in this battle. The clash of Soul King with Yhwach and Guido Szandor released such powerful shockwaves that utterly disturbed the flow of energy not only in the Soul Society but also in the World of the Living, Hueco Mundo, and the entire realm of spirits. This disturbance of energy flow critically weakened not just the humans but even powerful beings such as the Yokais.

The western region of Classical Japan (Heian Period)…

An immensely powerful Serpent Demon viz. Orochi appeared mysteriously along with his minions, castle, and structures of his lair, accompanied by an Acolyte of Satan, Nergal Meslamstea. Nobody was able to understand the actual purpose behind the genocide of both Yokais and the humans, led by Orochi and his minions under the guidance of that Acolyte. No Yokai, human empire, or group was powerful enough to face the Serpent Demon's monstrous power but a Daiyokai stood firm to oppose this atrocity. He was none other but Toga, famous by the titles Inu no Taisho and the Great Dog Demon. It was that time when Toga managed to wield a blade from Hell i.e. the sword known as So'unga.

When Toga couldn't stop Orochi even by using So'unga then he received help from the most unexpected sources. The famous priestess Midoriko came to aid his efforts, along with several other powerful priestesses and remarkable monks. Even after knowing the power of the enemy and dangers of the war, Toga and Midoriko didn't take even a single step back and eventually they received reinforcement from the Jade Empire, a kingdom of spiritually advanced and enlightened beings. This chaotic war simply enhanced the deathly effects of the war which was going on between the Brotherhood of Light and the Lords of Shadow.

In the end, the combined forces of Toga, Midoriko, priestesses, monks, and the Jade Warriors dominated both Orochi and Nergal Meslamstea but couldn't put an end to them. Midoriko then created Shikon Jewel ending up sealing herself with an immensely powerful Daiyokai, Magatsuhi. Jade Warriors then sealed Orochi along with his legion, castle, and other structures of his lair in a dimensional prison and assigned Shikon Jewel as the source of that prison's strength. Priestess and monks who participated in the war were given the responsibility of protecting the Shikon Jewel forever.

Dog Demon's Palace…

Amidst the war with all the destructive energy plaguing not only the entire earth but also the spiritual plane, Inukimi, the wife of Toga was undergoing labor pains. She was herself a Daiyokai and probably the only lucky woman whose child survived the entire phase of pregnancy.

She was lying down on a silky carpet on the ground while midwives were surrounding her along with some maids who were assisting them.

"Our queen is a powerful Daiyokai, maybe that's why her child is still alive," one of the maids murmured in a low voice. "You are right, it's been several months, I haven't heard of even a single birth not just among us demons but among humans as well," the other maid responded.

A midwife heard them and replied, "The destructive energy from the ongoing war has intoxicated the environment in such a way where even weak humans and Yokais are dying then how come an infant would survive such pressure."

"I… I am afraid that our queen's baby won't be able to survive either, yesterday, I heard of the death of a Daiyokai child, he was just two years old and even then couldn't survive this wretched phase," one of the old maids murmured with fear.

A maid spoke further while getting involved in the conversation, "I even heard of horrible things happening with the babies the moment they are coming out..." suddenly she had to shut her mouth upon receiving a furious and shouting response from Inukimi herself, "SHUT UP!... Arrrggh Shut up, every single one of you… ugh"

"Aaaaarrgghh…" Inukimi groaned loudly due to labor pains and upon noticing her, an elderly midwife spoke, "please, don't heed these foolish words my lady, focus on your condition and your child." Afterward, all the midwives and maids got serious because her situation was getting critical due to extended labor pains which were slowly becoming unbearable for her. However, soon enough the difficult phase ended for Inukimi and the next moment, the entire hall got filled with a strange silence instead of the anticipated ringing of the baby's cry.

Inukimi actually gave birth to a lifeless child but she was still trying to return to her senses and thus hadn't realized it. On the other hand, the midwives were trying to clean the baby while continuously searching for the signs of life in him. Suddenly a maid arrived there and kneeled on the ground in front of them. She was blonde and looking extremely beautiful from the lower half of the face that was visible from the hood of her dress. "Let me pray for our prince," she uttered slowly while extending her hands towards the infant. And the moment, midwives handed him over to her; it seemed as if her touch infused the life in his body. Soon the most anticipated baby's cry drew Inukimi's attention and she desperately pulled him in her lap.

"Congratulations my lady, our prince has arrived," one of the midwives muttered to Inukimi with a smile.

Inukimi noticed that he was born with a similar mark of the crescent moon just like she was given by Selene, the Goddess of Moon. "Thank you so much, Selene… for protecting my child," Inukimi whispered before she placed a loving kiss on the baby's forehead, right on the mark of the crescent moon while the tears were flowing down from her cheeks.

"Now you will have to think of a nice name for the prince, my lady." an elderly midwife said to her curiously. That mysterious maid whispered very slowly while looking towards Inukimi, "Se…" Inukimi looked at her while wondering how dare a mere maid tried to suggest a name for the prince of the Great Dog Demon Empire. However, soon a smile appeared on her lips as if the maid just uttered exactly what she decided for him, "I was just going to declare this… he will be known as… Sesshomaru!" Inukimi murmured with a smile before she lifted her son in her arms before hugging him dearly.
