*~*~* Dream sequence *~*~*

Tora woke up to his niece, on his human side yelling. His mother had died several years ago, since he was a Hanyou he aged slower than she did, and so was a teen as was his niece. The niece would soon marry and have children of her own and he would watch over them as he had her. This was his village, and he watched over it. The villagers accepted him as one of them even though anyone could see he was a Hanyou. Travelers to the town had commented on the fact that this village and only this village had a Hanyou the people could trust.

All other places a hanyou or youkai lived by had been attacked by them or was ruled over with an iron first. The villagers had been forced to pay off the demons.

Here however peace reigned. Tora made sure of that, it was the only thing he demanded.

All of that was about to change however. Tora woke up as the niece screamed. He ran from the hut he had slept in out into the streets. There he saw her, being held by a youkai. Tora watched as the youkai grabbed her throat and smiled at him. His niece pleaded with him, her eyes held fear, and somehow the knowledge that this time Tora wouldn't be able to save her. He watched as the youkai grabbed her throat and ripped it, then dropped her to ground. Tora shot forward to her side and held her as she took her last breath, her face staring at him with accusations. He could feel her thoughts 'how could you not protect me? Your supposed to be my protector' and he started into her eyes her life fled her body.

Tora stared up at his niece's attacker, rage filling his eyes. That's when he noticed the only noise in the village was that of fires. The entire place had been attacked and he had slept through it, no one had bothered to wake him. His glance told him that was wrong, no one had, had a chance to wake him. They had all been killed before they could reach him, their bodies lay strewn all over the village. He could tell who was trying to get to him. Everyone in his village was dead, all of his friends, all of his family.

Tora moved to attack the youkai and was stopped by some of his friends.

"Ah you're the little hanyou that watched over this village?" the one who killed his niece teased and he licked the blood off of his claws. "Nice place."

The ones holding him laughed. Tora tried to get free but was unable to. They then beat him and raped him as they had raped his village.

At dawn the attackers left. Tora pulled himself into one of the only huts that was still standing and fell into a deep sleep.

A couple of days later Tora awoke when he heard voices outside. He had hoped that his sleep would be an eternal one, but it was not so. It would appear there was something fate wanted him still to do before death. He tried to hide from whoever the voices belonged to but was unable to and instead passed out.

A few hours later he woke up again. Some had cleaned him up and changed his clothing.

"Ah good your awake." Someone said.

Tora was amazed to that the speaker was a young lord.

"You're wondering why I had you brought here? The truth quite simply is I wanted to know what happened to that village."

Tora told him about the youkai attack, leaving out what had happened to him.

He then asked a question that was bothering him.

"What will you do with me now?"

"Well tigers are my family's special pet. So I shall keep you." The lord said.

"How dare you!" Tora screamed and moved to attack.

He however had missed one important fact. That night was a new moon. Every hanyou was human on one night, and his just happened to be the new moon. The sun had set when he had been out, and now he was human.

The guards grabbed him and easily pinned him.

"Let's have none of that." The lord said and smiled as Tora was dragged away to a cage where he would spend his next few years.

**~~** End dream sequence **~~**

Tora woke up from his night mare when something fluffy brushed against him.

He jumped up and woke everyone else up as well.

The fluffy thing turned out to be Shippou.

"I had no idea tonight was a new moon Inuyasha." Miroku said, glancing at Inuyasha.

"What?" the hanyou muttered.

Tora was glad he was in the shadows, they had yet to notice he was human as well. A human with brown hair and green eyes.

"Damn it I lost track of days." Inuyasha said. He then stared at Tora, "What's up with you?"

Tora didn't know how to respond and so he walked into the light, reveling that he two was human.

"Two hanyous, both human on the same night." Myouga said as he appeared.
