| An Inuyasha Fanfiction:
The Lost Past: There is little mention of Inuyasha's childhood past. His father is a powerful Dog Demon in the West and his mother is a human beauty. There was a great difference between their life, the question is, how did Inuyasha's father know Inuyasha's mother? What was his real motive behind it? And, what is the real identity of Inuyasha's mother? Is she really just an ordinary human being? ******************************* Disclaimer: I do not own any Rumiko Takahashi's works though I wish so. This fanfiction is purely from my out-of-the world imagination, so plz don't sue me for anything you disagree. :p ********************************************************* CHAPTER ONE: An Unwelcome 'Guest' Inuyasha sniffed the air uneasily. It was a new moon night again. As usual, he felt his dog-ear shrinking into his head, replaced by a human-like one. His white hair darkened and changed black in colour. Gradually, he lost his sense of sharp smell. "Inuyasha, don't go too far away from the camp." Miroku reminded, his eyes still closed as he leaned against a tree trunk. "Feh! I know! Don't remind me that! I can take care of myself!" Inuyasha snorted flustratedly. "He is as grumpy as usual.." Shippo whispered. "BECAUSE MIROKU STARTED IT FIRST!!!!!!!" Inuyasha roared. "Alright, cut it out, let's not arouse unnecessary attention that may draw troubles tonight. Remember Inuyasha is now a normal human being." Sango said, lowering the fire. Kagome sighed quietly. This was always the time when Inuyasha felt inferior and apprehensive of any little things happening around him. Since past, he had offended many demons and no one knew whether they would strike any moment. Inuyasha got up to his feet and started his way into a forest that led him to a lake side. "Inuyasha, where are you going?" Kagome asked and ran after him. Shippo pounded a little way behind her. "Relax, I just need some peace, I will not go too far away," Inuyasha said without turning his head. Kagome stopped, hestitating whether she should followed on. "Kagome, shall we follow him?" Shippo asked. *Inuyasha has lost all his demon power tonight, I'll better accompany him whether he likes it or not* Kagome thought and ran towards Inuyasha. "Let's go, Shippo!" said Kagome. To their horror, they were blocked by an invisible barrier. Before them, Inuyasha was still continuing walking towards the lake. *Inuyasha is in danger!* Kagome thought. "A BARRIER!" Shippo exclaimed fearfully, "I'll get Sango and Miroku here!!" Before Kagome could react, Shippo threw a little wooden horse and rode away on it. "Inuyasha, you must be alright before they are here. Hopefully I am just being over-worried..." Kagome thought with her hands cupped before her, her eyes looking worried. ********************************** Inuyasha looked behind him. Kagome and Shippo were not following him. Deep down inside, Inuyasha was disappointed. He longed for Kagome's encouragement and accompany most at this moment of time. "Am I really that pessimistic every new moon night? Of course not!" Inuyasha snorted to himself to build up his confidence. The lake sparkled under the starry sky and he could hear insects crackling under shadowed spots. Inuyasha looked up into the moonless sky. So many years had passed since his mother's death. How did his mother died, he could not remember. Inuyasha had many doubts with his past. Why would his father-a powerful dog-demon of the West marry his mother-a human even after he had already got Sesshoumaru's mother-a full demon? Eversince Inuyasha's birth, he had no memory of living with his father in the West, his father had abandoned Inuyasha and his mother in Inuyasha's mother homeland. *Father must be either seriously out of his mind or he is very irresponsible.* Inuyasha thought. No matter what, his father's act had resulted to Inuyasha's embarrassed status as a dog hanyou. Suddenly, his instinct told him something is wrong. Losing his sense of sharp smell on every new moon night, Inuyasha had to depend on this instinct since he was born and it had always proved to be in handy. "Are you Inuyasha, the hanyou from the extinct dog-demon clan.........?" A low voice echoed across the trees in the forest. The branches suddenly moved wildly in a starting wind. Dark clouds cowered over the sky. "WHO ARE YOU?" Inuyasha roared, drawing his sword and held it with his two hands before him, defensively. The strong wind blew his long black hair and some of his fringes flew over his eyes, forcing him to narrow his eyes. He could hardly stand straight. The wind was too strong. "Inuyasha........." A figure appeared above the centre of the lake. The water by his side rose and flew wildly aside, forming a pair of current between him. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU???!!!!" Inuyasha repeated, furious this time. The figure stepped towards Inuyasha. The figure had dragon-like fins over his head and his skin was bluish-green in colour. He wore a white kimono and his face resembled that of a dragon head. "Me? I am the follower of the Dragon Demon Clan and I am here to take you away.." The figure said as he held out his arms towards Inuyasha. "Heh? What dog-demon, dragon clan? Is he someone related to Ryuukossei (A dragon demon whom Inuyasha's father had sealed and Inuyasha had killed, refer manga #19)? ..." Inuyasha was totally puzzled (his eye pupil narrowed into two dots and a drop of sweat dripped comically down behind his head). But one thing for sure, this figure was up to no good. Darkening his face, Inuyasha yelled: "Well, YOU HAVE TO PASS THROUGH MY TETSUSAIGA FIRST!!!" "GOOD, I LIKE YOUR CONFIDENCE!!!" The demon laughed and shot towards him, spreading his claw-like hands. Inuyasha ducked and slashed his unchanged Tetsusaiga through the claws. The demon stared at his bleeding hands and faster than lightning, his claws clung across Inuyasha's shoulder, leaving his fresh open and blooding flowing out. Holding onto his injuries, Inuyasha shot another slash at the demon's head. "Too slow!" The demon broke into laughter, "Give up, little prince!" "SHUT UP, YOU BASTARD! I won!" Inuyasha yelled. A loud creaking sound erupted and a tree fell towards the demon, almost hitting him. By the time the smoke settled, Inuyasha had ducked into a cave. Remembering his incident with the spider demon (manga #05), he struck his Tetsusaiga at the entrance of it with his two hands. Furious, the demon released strange smoke into it. The ground and wall of the entrance was stony and Inuyasha found himself having some difficulty holding onto his Tetsusaiga. The smoke released made him see stars all over. *What is this gas?* Inuyasha coughed and thought. To his horror, he found himself getting dizzy. "Give up, Inuyasha, your father will not save you this time!" The demon shouted. Inuyasha's vision became blurrer and blurrer. *My father....?* The demon started to approach the cave but was hindered by the barrier created by Tetsusaiga. His claws melted by its touch. Frustrated, knowing that he could not reach Inuyasha, he backed away from the cave. "My clan will come for you again next time, you will not get away..." His voice faltered away as he vanished. Inuyasha finally passed out in exhaustion. "Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted. Miroku and Sango had arrived, but the barrier was too strong. All they could do was to stay outside it. "Inuyasha-sama is inside this barrier?" A voice suddenly popped out. Miroku felt a little pain on his cheek and slapped on it. It was Myouga. "Myouga-jii-chan, why are you here?" Sango asked. "I thought you'll always stay away from us, because we are often in danger." Shippou added. "Nonsense! I've come because eversince the death of Ryuukossei, I sensed something has been released there and Inuyasha-sama's life is endangered." Myouga folded his arms and frowned. "So, you have come until he is under attack and there is a barrier preventing you from being affected?" Kagome asked. Myouga sweated. "And Kagome's right after all?" Miroku added. "How can you all look down on me?! Am I that bad?!" Myouga cried out after some seconds of thought. All others stared at him. "Hurry, Myouga-jii-chan, how can we pass through that barrier? Inuyasha's still in it!" Kagome asked impatiently. The force of barrier suddenly disappeared. "Er? I did not do anything?" Myouga wondered. "INUYASHA!!!" Kagome dashed through the forest. "Kagome! Be careful! This could be a trap!!" Sango and Shippou shouted and ran after her. Myouga, sitting on Miroku's shoulder, followed behind. Amidst the woods, haze circled around the trees and over the ground like snakes. As part of the smoke parted, a vague vision of a figure lying by the entrance of a cave, his hands still on the handle of a sword on the ground, appeared before their eyes. "INUYASHA!!!........" Shippou cried out, but was forced away by the barrier from Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga. Kagome entered the cave, pulled out the Tetsusaiga and held Inuyasha's face up. The barrier immediately vanished. Inuyasha's eyes were tightly shut, his black hair flowing down Kagome's lap. *Inuyasha....* Kagome thought. There was very few times when she saw Inuyasha's face as human in close-up. Hhis face looked innocent like a child, bringing her to forget his roughness and bad languages. Her heart throbbed faster. *Why am I so nervous?* She wondered. "Is he still alive?" Shippou asked, breaking Kagome's thought, "He's bleeding!" "Look, he is still breathing, we'll just treat his wound." Miroku observed. "Kagome, your face's getting redder, are you..." "NO, I'M NOT! WHERE ARE YOUR THOUGHTS GETTING AT??!!" Kagome yelled, her face turning redder, her head popping at Miroku. Inuyasha fell off onto the ground. "Argg... what's that screaming?" He moaned. "Inuyasha-sama!! I'm so glad you are alright!!" Myouga jumped onto Inuyasha's nose and bit him. Inuyasha slapped onto Myouga on his nose. "Ah! Myouga-jii-chan, you're here! I need to clarify something with you!" Myouga started to jump away. "There's nothing I know, I'm going to look for Toutousai now, I've just remembered I have something important to discuss with him! Since Inuyasha-sama is safe and sound, I'm leaving now..." Myouga quickly jumped away. "Too late.." Inuyasha grinned evilly, crunching his fist with Myouga inside, "Why is there a dragon-like demon trying to kidnap me? Are you trying to hide something from me?" He opened his fist, Myouga was nowhere to be seen. "Huh?...." Inuyasha stared. "Sayonara, Inuyasha-sama, till we meet again!...." Myouga's voice trailed away as he hopped quick as lightning away. "You bastard flea!!" Inuyasha shouted and ran after him. The pain on his shoulder became more intense and Inuyasha had to stop, his hands holding onto it. "Grr...." "Inuyasha, stop moving, I'm stopping the bleeding now!" Kagome said, taking out her safety-aid box, pulling out medicines. "Stupid flea-demon...." Inuyasha grinded under his teeth. Dawn arrived. The night of New Moon was gone and Inuyasha regained his hanyou power. The journey for the search of Naraku and the 'pearl of four spirits'. Inuyasha drew his Tetsusaiga back into its cover. He smelled something on it. The demon's blood. There was something familiar with it. It was a trail of smell from soil of a mountain. *There must be a lead to it...* Inuyasha thought. "Inuyasha, what are you thinking?" Kagome asked. "I need to investigate something, don't follow me!" Inuyasha shouted and ran off. "Inuyasha!!..." Kagome and Miroku shouted behind him. Fearing he'll create more troubles, the gang followed after him. |
