Life or Death: Inutaisho's gift.
Chapter 1: The Beginning
Inutaisho's domain
"Myoga, my faithful servant, it seems that my time is almost up. We must begin preparations for the extraction."
"But Lord Inutaisho, don't you believe it's a little too early to have young Inuyasha's mother go through such a tragedy. She is mortal and this could literally break her heart."
"Yes I understand. Bring her to me right away."
"But my Lord..."
"BRING HER TO ME NOW!!!"
"Yes, my Lord right away."
Japan, feudal era
"My dearest Inuyasha what is wrong?"
"Mother, what is a half-breed?'
"......."
"What is it mother, why are you crying?"
"My dearest Inuyasha don't be concerned. Just remember that I love you."
"I love you too, mother."
Enter Myoga the flea hastily near out of breath.
"Lady Izayoi, come. Lord Inutaisho has summoned you.
"What? Who is there?"
"It is I Myoga the flea."
"Oh, I see. But where are you?"
"On young Inuyasha's shoulder."
"Mother, GET IT OFF OF ME!!!!"
"Son, calm down."
Inuyasha repeatedly jumps up and down trying to shake Myoga off him.
"Inuyasha you must calm down before you hurt him."
Inuyasha finally gets Myoga off of him, then stomps him flat.
"Inuyasha!"
"What is that thing?"
"He is your father's servant. Meet Myoga the flea."
"Oh, sorry sir."
"Don't worry about it. This is urgent. Lord Inutaisho needs to see you immediately."
"Ok. Come, Inuyasha. We must get going."
"I believe that he only requested you. This is a very delicate matter and only you should be there."
"Ok. I understand. Inuyasha, you must stay here. I will be back soon."
"But mother..."
"Please Inuyasha, stay. I will only be gone for a moment."
"Oh alright."
Myoga then ripped open a portal and lead Izayoi through.
"When I come back, Inuyasha, I'll make you some rice balls."
The portal then closed abruptly.
"Oh hell. Now what am I gonna do?"
Inutaisho's domain
"Right this way Lady Izayoi."
Myoga had led her down a long corridor lined with gold and other precious items. Izayoi was amazed. Never had she seen so many riches in one place. Even though Lord Inutaisho was the father of Inuyasha she had only been in the castle once or twice and she had never seen this room. After about 20 or so feet they had reached the chamber where Lord Inutaisho laid, waiting for their arrival.
"I have returned with Lady Izayoi, as you have ask Lord Inutaisho."
"Yes, thank you Myoga. For this you shall be rewarded after the ceremony."
"Inutaisho, what ceremony do you speak of?"
"Let me explain it to you. Inuyasha, my son, is what we all know as a hanyou. But Inuyasha is no ordinary half-demon. Since he contains my blood he has the ability that when he is near death his demon side will take control of his body. Though this newfound strength would aid him in battle the stress to his human side could destroy him. But I have found a way to stop his transformation. By me using a part of my body as a weapon he may never have to transform into his demon side. And that is why I have summoned you here. The only way we can perform the extraction is if a loved one does it. Without it the fang would be useless."
"But what about you. You'll recover, right?"
"*Sigh* Not this time my dear Izayoi. I am too old to recover from the wound."
"Then I will have no part in this. If I have to I will protect Inuyasha myself. You do not need to kill yourself to protect him."
"You will not be there for the rest of his life, we both know that. Besides my time is almost up and if I am dead then the fang will never gain power and therefore, becomes useless. We need to remove my fang while I'm still alive. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
"Good. Myoga get the tools."
"Yes, my Lord."
Myoga then hops down the hall. He stops in an empty corridor, unfurnished, not like the other parts of his castle. Inside of the corridor he recited a spell and opened a magic door. After entering the room, he grabs a vile full of green liquid and another vile of red liquid. He then grabs a bag and exits the room and the magic room disappears. Myoga, waited down be the "tools" slowly makes his way to his master's room.
"I have done as you have asked, my Lord."
"Good. Now you know what to do, right?"
"Yes, my Lord."
Inutaisho opened his massive jaws and Myoga jumped in. he then started mixed the two liquid together, making a thick black smoke. He then poured then now silverish colored potion onto his upper left fang.
"Now the fang is ready to be pulled."
Lord Inutaisho then lifted Izayoi to his mouth. The fang was bigger than she thought, more than half her size. She was afraid to pulled on it, fearing that Inutaisho would bite her in half.
"Don't be afraid. I will not feel any pain. The potion that Myoga mixed loosened the fang and relieved it from any future pain. Just pull because the longer you wait the less effective the medicine becomes."
Izayoi nodded, still not sure whether or not she should really do this. She then erased any doubt from her mind and thought about her son. He needed the fang to stay alive. So, she started to tug on the fang. She was struggling; it was in tighter than she thought. She kept pulling on it; once, twice, three times. She gave it one last yank and with blinding light of energy the fang was out, Inutaisho's mouth gushing blood all over the floor.
"With this Inuyasha will be safe. Now go with Myoga, we must hide it. My dear Izayoi, there is something else you must know before I die. My eldest son, Sesshomaru, has a grudge against humans. All you need to do is go with Myoga; he will keep you and the fang safe. Another thing it is very important that you do not tell Inuyasha of this. Now go!"
The castle began to shake violently. Myoga pulled on Izayoi to tell her to leave the crumbling castle but she hesitated. She did not want to leave his side no matter how hopeless it was for him but Myoga would not have it. He jumped up on her neck and started to suck her blood. She slapped her neck and regained her senses. They both ran out of the almost destroyed castle. The castle exploded with a fierce light as Lord Inutaisho grew into his normal form. With his last breaths he said, "I love you while his slowly dying body became petrified. Izayoi stood over the mountainside, watching as her love died before her eyes. She couldn't take the pain, just as Myoga had predicted. But there was still much more that needed to be done. Myoga persuaded her to go forward, to finish what they set out to do. So they continued on, to place the sword in the only place it would be safe, in the body of Lord Inutaisho.
