Chapter 5: "It is alright son."
Disclaimer: I do not own Inu-Yasha characters, but Morpheous and Lord Ahnger are mine.

'Sleep, sleep, dream,' commanded the voice in Inu-Yasha's head. Try as he might he could not resist it anymore and he sank into the dreams.

Opening his eyes again all Inu-Yasha saw was darkness. He then felt a sharp pain as he was thrown to the ground. He tried to gain his feet again but was held down by a foot.
"Drag him out of there," commanded the demon again.
'Not this memory again,' though Inu-Yasha as he was grabbed by his collar by one of the many minions. He was thrown at the feet of the man who had taken him from his mother.
"Little mutt, shall I tell you how you came to be here. Well I came to kill your mother, to devastate your father. But then I realized if I do that I would have to deal with your father's wrath. So I naturally came to the conclusion that if I have you, then I can take your fathers land. And by the way, your mother will die, from an accident of course."
'This guy likes to hear himself talk.' Inu-Yahsa wished that he was bigger so he could have defended himself and his mother. Also he could have hurt that man for threatening his mother, and mentioning his father. Like his father would care if he was a hostage, he had never seen his father. He may have never seen his father but he knew he had to defend him. Letting his anger get the best of him, Inu-Yasha lunged at the man. The man was too quick though, he grabbed Inu-Yasha at the neck, having him dangle a few feet from his face.
"You little mutt, your eyes show that you have your fathers arrogance. Your spirit, bah, I will break it. You shall become my son, my servant. I am now your Lord, Lord Ahnger."
The memories of what Lord Ahnger did to Inu-Yasha as a child flashed forward like the VCR machine that Kagome had in her room. Inu-Yasha was grateful, for those memories had more pain for him because he almost broke under the torture. He almost lost all his family, a tear fell down his sleeping form. Morpheous smiled evilly, that meant that Inu-Yasha's spirit was almost broken. The memories finally stopped at one specific day, the day he was rescued from Lord Ahnger.
Inu-Yasha was huddled in a corner of his makeshift prison, his usually clawed fingers were numbs, because of his constant scratching at the walls. His claw marks could be seen everywhere, making small dents in the wall, but not deep enough to make a difference. He hated to be caged in a prison; Lord Ahnger knew that, he wanted his spirit broken. Inu-Yasha had driven Lord Ahnger crazy because of his eyes; he just constantly saw his father's defiant look and pride in Inu-Yasha's eyes.
Lord Ahnger was getting desperate; rumors of Inu-Yasha's father attacking his fortresses were circulating. It was just a matter of when. Inu-Yasha was too young to be forced to defend his father and not break, but he was a hanyou, his life was to become this. Finally deciding that his father would not come Inu-Yasha began to cry, but it was quickly stopped in his thoughts when he saw a soldier fly across the hall. Lord Ahnger ran into his prison and grabbed Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha struggled to get free but everyone in the palace learned a while ago to grab his neck and he would be immobile. Lord Ahnger threw Inu-Yasha to the ground when they entered his throne room.
"He actually came little mutt, he actually came," said Lord Ahnger.
"Why did he come now, after I sent my army away to stop attacks on my people from dog.," realizing what Inu-Yasha's father had planned and realizing he had fallen for it, Lord Ahnger became angry and decided to let his anger out on Inu-Yasha. Grabbing his neck again Lord Ahnger began to backhand Inu-Yasha.
"Why, why is all this happening because of you, a worthless hanyou? Why did I decide to take you? Why does your father come now?
He got his answer in a form of an oversized claw. They wrapped around his waist and dug into his skin. Blood started to pour out of his body, like a fountain from his body. He had died when the claws went into his body. With his last breath he asked, "Why?" The claws pulled Lord Ahnger out of his throne room; he released his hold of Inu-Yasha. He looked at the scene but his eyes could not focus, he vaguely remembers seeing Lord Ahnger being cut in half by the claws. The claws disappeared and a human form entered the throne room. Inu-Yasha could not make out who it was, but he assumed Lord Ahnger was still alive. Inu-Yasha tried to crawl away from the figure but it quickly caught him. But the hold was gentle; Inu-Yasha paused before he attempted to use his claws on the figure. He hid his face with is hair, crying, letting his frustration out, but his small hands were caught in a strong grasp.
"It is alright son, I have come for you."
Many emotions ran through Inu-Yasha's mind as he realized the figure who he could not see was his father. He just stood there waiting for his father to disappear, but he didn't.
"It is all right son, I have come for you," his father said as he lay Inu- Yasha in his arms. Inu-Yasha quickly fell asleep, snuggling in his father's tail, he was safe.

"No, wake up Inu-Yasha," yelled Morpheous.
"Father."
"What?"
"He saved me, Morpheous. Let me go, I won't break, you failed."
"I never fail. Since I have given your dream instead of a nightmare, then you must stay awake for the effects to wear off so I can start again," Morpheous stated, clearly getting desperate, "but you must watch what your comrades shall go through to fail in rescuing you."
With that Morpheous left Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha just kept going back to the memory of his father; he wished he remembered more of him.

Author's Note: Wow, this story took an unexpected turn. I must stat that I was planning to have Inu-Yasha's father in here, but I like where the story is going and I will keep going with on with Inu-Yasha's father. On that note I decided not to bring Sesshomaru into the story. Does anyone know Inu-Yasha's father and mothers name; do they even have a name? Only 6 days of school left and I am a senior in high school. ( That also means that I will have more time to write the story. Thank you for reading. Please review.
