Authors Note: This is my first Inuyasha story so don't hurt me if it sucks. It was originally something else but then my friend gave me an idea and I changed it to this. I hope you guys like it. I don't own Inuyasha.

Prologue

"Here ya go, Kouga! You're very own Wolf Pack." Said a handsome Wolf Demon. He had black hair that was hanging at shoulder level. Behind him stood a pack of full-grown wolves. He was leaning over his son, who looked just three, but since he was a demon he was older in age but still had a three year olds mind, and behind him were some wolf puppies. Pakura smiled as his son laughed and began petting one of the wolves.

A female Wolf Demon walked up to her husband and looked at her beautiful son. He was their first child and the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen. She ran her hand through his hair and smiled at him as the young Kouga grabbed her finger.

"Here Kouga." Said his father holding a brown headband. Pakura tied the headband around his son's head and smiled when he saw that headband looked perfect on him. "He is a born leader! When he is old enough, I know he will lead a Wolf Demon tribe of his own!" Pakura's wife nodded in agreement. It was true the headband was way too big, but he'd grow into it, and it looked very well on him. The headband was a symbol, all the Wolf Demon tribe leaders wore them, and was perfect for Kouga.

Pakura was suddenly distracted by a strong smell that was irritating. Kasha, his wife, noticed it too and she was the first to speak the words they were both thinking. "Blood." Kasha clutched Kouga in her arms and ran out side of the cave to look over the edge with Pakura.

"It's coming from down in the forest." He said.

Kasha nodded and began scanning the forest below for the source of the irritating smell. And there he was. A fellow Wolf Demon came crawling out of the edge of the forest and collapsed right after.

Pakura gasped. "I'm going to go help him! You stay here with Kouga." He kissed her on the cheek and jumped over the edge, running down the mountain to the edge of the woods. A Wolf Demon with a black tail along with the rest of his fur was bleeding ceaselessly on the ground. He wasn't going to live and Pakura knew it. It made him sick to his stomach, seeing a fellow Wolf Demon dying so painfully. "Who did this to you?! I'll kill 'em!"

"B-b-big birds! W-with heads….. an-and arms o-on top…. Of their h-eads!" the Wolf Demon managed then coughed up a lot of blood all over the front of Pakura's armor.

"Big birds with top halves of bodies?" Pakura repeated what he was understanding.

The dying demon nodded slowly and coughed up more blood. "Th-they h-h-have k-killer cla…. cla… claws…." And the Wolf Demon died. Right in Pakura's arms. Pakura's stomach turned. A fellow tribe member had just died in his arms and there had been nothing he could do from the beginning.

Ractra, the leader of the tribe, came running down the mountain. "What happened?!" he yelped. And with tears rolling down his eyes, Pakura told the little information he had gotten from the attacked demon.

"I have heard of them!" exclaimed Ractra, "They are called the Birds of Parricide! The live up the mountain more! THIS MEANS WAR!!"" Ractra stood up in anger, growling and howling at the sky. No one attacked one of his comrades and got away with it!

Pakura nodded, sure that their entire pack could slaughter the 'Birds of Parricide' without breaking a sweat. He quickly ran up the mountain and grabbed his brand new sword. Pakura walked up to his wife, who was still clutching their son. "I will be back soon. We have to get a little revenge!" he said determinedly. Kasha nodded. She understood, she would have gone along had they not had a young son to look after.

Ractra appeared in the cave's entrance and began to speak to his entire tribe. "We are going to war with the Birds of Parricide!! A fellow Wolf Demon has been killed, grab your weapons, IT IS TIME TO SHOW THEM WHAT WE ARE MADE OF!!!"

All the men Wolf Demons got up excitedly and grabbed their weapons, those who had them. They kissed their wives good bye and assured them that they'd come back, all thinking the same as Pakura, they'd slaughter them in a second.

Pakura picked up Kouga from his wives arms. "I'll see you later, big man!" he smiled and kissed his son, then gave him back to his wife and kissed her again then left with the big group of Wolf Demons, ready to fight.

Quickly and quietly they climbed the mountain to soon reach the nest of the evil birds. The way they smiled just creeped out Pakura. It sent shivers through his body and made his fur stand up.

Ractra stood up, in front of the entire group and bravely spoke against the birds. "You have murdered one of our tribe members!! THIS IS WAR!!!" Then he jumped out and shredded the nearest bird with his own claws. That got their attention, and their creepy smiles weren't spread across their ugly faces anymore.

All at once the birds took to the air and Wolf Demons leaped up to slaughter them. Just as easily had Ractra killed the first bird, were they ribbing through the pack of demons. Pakura was having a very bad feeling about this. These were not just stupid birds! Suddenly everything seemed to be in slow motion. A huge bird was swooping down at him and as it got closer, Pakura's life flashed before his eyes, and just as it ended, the talons sliced him in half and he rolled down the mountain.

Kasha was holding Kouga, looking down at the woods when the top half of her husbands body fell in front of her. "OH MY GOD!! PAKURA!!! THOSE BASTARD BIRDS!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs and the rest of who had stayed behind gathered around behind her.

Pakura could feel his life draining from his body, and he knew that the last thing he wanted was for his wife and only son to experience the same thing. Kasha kneeled down beside him as he began to speak his last words. "I want you two to flee from this awful place! Walk in the direction that the sun rises every morning until you get to another mountain. There will be another Wolf tribe there that you can join. Go there, and remember…." Pakura could feel that these would be his last three words. "I love you." And for the second time that day, a Wolf Demon died right in front of another.

The young Kouga understood what was happening. His father was gone and would never come back. A tear ran down his cheek as his mother picked up her husband's sword and began to climb down the mountain with her wolves and Kouga's following.

Suddenly the entire area was covered in shadow. They didn't have time to figure it out and respond. A dead bird fell on top of Kasha, knocking her son from her arms and sent him rolling down the mountain.

The young demon landed at the foot of the mountain with a broken arm, and several cuts and bruises. His five puppies came to his aid immediately, and as they were helping him stand up, he looked up the mountain for his mother. Her dead body lay under the huge bird. Kouga survived along with five of his wolf puppies, but unfortunately, his mother did not and now he was alone. No one could help him. Tears ran down his cheeks like the flow of rapids as something came rolling down the mountain and landed at his bare foot. Kouga reached down to pick up the huge thing when he realized that it was his fathers sword.
