I'm back. Redone chapter number 2!!!!

Disclaimer: If you think I own Inuyasha you're more naïve than Kouga.

Chapter Two: The Tale Begins

Sora sat on the tree to begin her tale.

Kami I hate her. She's followed me all my life and she never leaves me alone. I thought she was gone for good after I was pinned to that tree, but obviously, I was wrong. And now she was back, back to spill all the things I never wanted anyone to know. Especialy Kagome. I want to kill her.

"You see, our buddy here, Inuyasha, has been betrayed. Many times. The first was his brother. Inuyasha and Sessomaru didn't always hate each other. Well, at least Inuyasha never hated him. Inuyasha actually looked up to him. But I think our dear Fluffy always harbored some dislike for Inuyasha, but it was well hidden. After their father died however, it became a different story."

I glared at her. The painful memory resurfacing in my mind as she told it.

Flashback

A four year old version of myself ran towards Sessomaru as Ah-Un landed.

"Fluffy-onee-chan!!! You're back!!!!!"

"Get away from me half-breed!" Sessomaru yelled, throwing me to the ground. "It's you're fault father is dead, I want you and you're human mother out of my house!!! Now!!!!"

End Flashback.

I unconsciously clenched my fists at the scene. That bastard, I can never forgive him for that.

"Hurts, doesn't it Inuyasha?" Sora asked me.

I continued my glaring. "Shut up Sora."

"No." She said. "I'm not done yet."

"Then there were the villagers. Horrid creatures. They attacked Inuyasha, verbally and physically, daily. 'Dirty little half-breed!' That's what they called him. I don't think he can ever forget those taunts, they hurt, and some hurts, never completely heal."

The worse part was, Sora was right. I can never forget the looks on those people's faces; they haunt me in my dreams, or rather, my nightmares. I couldn't bring myself to look at Kagome; I couldn't bring myself to see the pity in her eyes I knew was there.

Sora grinned as she continued. "Then his mother betrayed him"

I looked up at that. "You bitch! Don't ever insult my Mother!!!" I screamed at her, furious.

"Why? It's true. She broke her promise to always be there for you, to always protect you."

"It was my fault." I muttered, my bangs covering my eyes.

"Please, you were six, what could you have done? Nothing." Sora said casually. "Anyways, when she died Inuyasha was heart broken. He buried her, and then returned to the village. But there, there he found more betrayal. Once they realized that Inuyasha's mother was dead, they turned on him. They beat him, kicked him, stoned him, and tried to drown him. They tied bricks to his feet and tossed him into the river. But he survived."

I remembered that day too. I remembered Mother's broken body, how she never even had time to say goodbye. How I never got to tell her I was sorry. I heard Kagome say, "That's so horrible." But she didn't know. I remembered fighting to get air in my lungs when I was under the water. Trying to swim to safety. I blacked out at one point; I don't even know how I survived. But Sora did.

"He wasn't supposed to live. But this is where I made my entrance, I saved him, I pulled him out of the water right before he drowned." I looked at Sora with amazement. "You...you saved me?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yeah...I supposed I should've, it just got worse for you, didn't it?" I blanched. She wasn't going to talk about her, was she?

She was.

"After that he wondered, just simply walked around, no village would accept him, and many tried to kill him. He got stronger, who wouldn't? Fighting off humans and demons every other day. But then... he met her."

"Don't you even say her name!" I said quietly, bangs still hiding my eyes and my fists still balled at his sides.

"What," Sora said innocently, "Yaru?"

I flinched visibly. "Sora..." I said warningly, but she paid no mind.

"Oh man did she hurt you. Inuyasha met her when he was what 13? 14? Anyways. She was a wolf youkai. (That's why he hates wolves so much.) And Inuyasha fell head over heels for her. She "loved" him too." Sora said, using air quotes. "Enough to have him do all her work. She made him do everything for her. She sent him on errands to steal things for her, and kill people he didn't even know. But it didn't matter to him; he'd do anything for her. Then one day, something happened. Inuyasha came back early from an errand. Because that was it. That was the day Inuyasha was going to ask her to be his mate. But when he walked into her cave, he found something. Do you remember what it was?"

"I try to forget." I muttered, glaring at Sora full force. In truth I remembered all too well what I found.

"He found Yaru in bed with another. I remember the scene exactly." She said, and so did I.

Flashback

I walked into a cave whistling a happy tune, carrying a beautiful necklace in my hand. It was a blue teardrop on a silver chain. I turned a corner and the necklace fell limp from my fingers, dropping to the ground. There she was, lying with another.

"Yaru, is this your pet?" the man asked.

"Why yes, Bad puppy, your back too soon." Yaru said as the pair laughed together at my shock.

"But why, I thought. I." I stuttered, but she cut me off.

"Silly puppy, did you actually think I loved you? Go away, I have no more use for you."

I saw red. I was furious, she had used me! How dare she?! I swear I turned full demon here. I can hardly remember leaping on the man seizing his throat. But I do. The man was stronger and he knocked me into the wall. Suddenly the whole cave caught on fire, I ran and made it outside. However the other two weren't so lucky, I can still hear their screams. And the necklace? It lay on the burnt out floor, forgotten.

End Flashback

"It was I who saved him, though I have no idea why I did it, I burned the cave. Oh and do you remember that necklace Inuyasha?" Sora said. That was twice she had saved me, I wonder why.

"Yes." I said shortly.

"Did it look like this?" Sora pulled a necklace out from under her small shirt. It was just as I had remembered it. She took it off and threw it to me. "Here, it is yours. I took it from the cave afterwards."

I caught it and started at it. What was I supposed to do with it? I decided to keep it, and put it in the folds of my pants.

"So that is Inuyasha's little adventure with Yaru." Sora said easily. "Next he meets Kikyou."

Damn her. Damn you Sora.
