Past Memories, A Mother's Love

It was a quiet night, almost too quiet. All where asleep except Inuyasha. It was new moon, which meant he was human that night. "Man", thought Inuyasha, "With me being human I'm over run with human emotions". Inuyasha stared into the fire, memories swimming through his head. He recalled one from when he was just a whelp. He smiled slightly at the memory. The memory was of his mother's embrace.

His thoughts lingered for a little on the memory and then went to a different memory, a sadder one. His smile faded instantly. This memory was of when he found out about what "half-breed" meant, which was a few days after his mother died. Thinking of his mother he thought of his father.

His father was a full demon, a very powerful demon. His father was king of the western lands. His father's grave was also hidden in his right eye. In his grave he got his sword, the Tetsiega. Inuyasha recalled the memory. His brother Sesshomaru couldn't touch the Tetsiega let alone pull it out for he was a full demon and the Tetsiega was made for Inuyasha's father to protect his mortal mother. Inuyasha could touch the Tetsiega but he could pull it out for he was only half demon. Kagome defied all odds by pulling the Tetsiega out. Inuyasha smiled at the look on Sesshomaru's face.

Inuyasha looked at the sky. "Dawn will soon break", thought Inuyasha. Inuyasha's head still swam with memories of the past. His mind rested on one, yet another memory about his mother, a few days before she died. He was playing outside with his ball. His mom watching him. He bounced his ball a little to hard and it started to bounce away from him. He ran after the ball but some mean villagers had picked up his ball and were playing keep away from him. He started to cry when one of the mean villagers threw the ball to him and said "Here half-bread". Picking up the Inuyasha ran to his mother and asked, "What's a half-bread"? Inuyasha's mother started crying and hugged him; she knew what it meant. Inuyasha's mother loved Inuyasha and died loving him, and Inuyasha knew it too.

At long last dawn broke and Inuyasha transformed back into a half-demon. He looked around; everyone was still sleeping peacefully. A few hours later everyone was up and ready to go. They started down the dirt road in search of more jewel shards and signs of Naraku.
