Chapter 2

The Gifts that Made History

'Give us what?' InuYasha wondered. 'It was just my birthday last week, what else was he going to get, besides his new ball? And why did Shessomeru get something too? Wasn't he supposed to be in trouble for popping Inuyasha's ball?' These questions kept InuYasha up all night. Finally, he saw the sun creeping over the treetops and sighed. 'Just great, Dad's taking us hunting and I got no sleep last night.'

"BOYS!!!" came their dads voice. "COME HERE, I'VE GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU!"

'Oh great, here it comes. "I'm taking you boys hunting today. InuYasha, you look exhausted, didn't you get any sleep last nigh? Maybe you had better stay home with your mother while I take Shessomeru hunting." And Shessomeru will just stick out his tongue and push dad out the door, leaving me behind.'

"INUYASHA! COME HERE!"

"I'M COMING!"

"Boys. I'm taking you hunting today, and I have a gift for each of you. Here." And he handed each of them a long package wrapped in brown paper.

"Whoa! Cool! Thanks dad!" Said Shessomeru as he opened the package. It was a sword. InuYasha opened his as well. It was also a sword.

"Neat! Thanks Dad! Lets go!" and they went out the door, carrying their new swords, and thinking of how awesome the day was starting.

But a day starting this good could only end up in disaster.

"Hey dad, what kinda demons are we going after?" asked InuYasha.

"Anything that gets in our way. We need to hunt all of the other demons in the area, to protect ourselves."

"So what you're saying is that we're going to look for fights?" asked Shessomeru.

"I guess you could put it that way. Oh, InuYasha, your mom is going to get your new ball, because she doesn't think we could just walk into the village without causing panic."

"Oh, dad, why are they so afraid of demons?"

"Well, some demons like fighting so much, they attack villages for fun, and because the humans don't know any good demons, they go ahead and assume that we are all pure evil."

"Well, that's not fair! I'm not pure evil!"

"You're not a full demon." Said Shessomeru.

"SHESSOMERU! You know you're not to tease you brother about that! Now I want you to march strait back to the house! You're grounded!"

A/N: oOo! Cliff hanger! Tune in next time and see what happens when Shessomeru doesn't listen to his fathers orders! Special thanks to
