A/N: This is one of my first serious attempts at writing an InuYasha
fanfiction. Anyway this is AU, set in more medieval fantasy world, no
actual human history, so I don't confuse myself. Anyway, I've rated this R
due to violence, sexual situations, language and all that good rot. OH and
I warn you this prologue isn't a happy one, and it's very serious. I'm
hoping everyone can see the mother's point of view on why she does what she
does.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, or any of its characters. There are going to original characters in this, and characters who are only mention in the manga but not really seen. (Inu and Kagome's fathers).
Prologue '= Thoughts
"Run, Inuyasha, please run!" Yuki whispered to her child. The torches were growing brighter as the yelling became louder. She could hear the footsteps but feet away.
"No Mama, I will not leave you here!" the young Inuyasha cried. "I don't care what they do to me I won't leave you".
Yuki smiled down at her son, her features tinted by sadness. 'So brave, for only the age of six' she thought. "Listen you have to go, if you don't you'll be killed." Closer, they came ever so close. Inuyasha kept shaking his head no. Her tears began to fall as she continued to plead with him.
"Inuyasha if you love me you'll go. I could not live with myself if I let you stay." Seeing that he wouldn't budge from her side, she had to play her last card, the only thing she had left, her life. "Inuyasha," she said slowly. "If I die, you must promise me you'll run away. That you'll leave me and run towards Lady Kaede's village, as fast as you can. Promise me."
The small boy looked hesitant at first, and Yuki couldn't blame him. It was his nature to defend his pack, his family. Even if she died he would have to fight the urge to stay and avenge her, so she couldn't leave anyone he could fully blame.
"I promise Mama" Inuyasha said, though it took a lot of effort.
Carefully Yuki reached up into her hair, which was in a tight bun. As she pulled out the pin that held it together, her ebony tresses fell across her shoulders, flowing down her back. In the next instant, her body was soaked in her own blood, from the poison tipped, hairpin she had jabbed into a vein that rested in her neck.
Inuyasha sat in what seemed to be trance, that wouldn't end. He was shocked, void of everything but the thought that his mother was dead. What seemed like forever, went on until another thought invaded his mind ' "If I die, you must promise me you'll run away. That you'll leave me and run towards Lady Kaede's village, as fast as you can. Promise me." , "I promise"'
