Past of my Life

Part 2

"This, however was something I hadn't intended showing you yet. Oh well. Just a minor delay."

"What?!"

"Hmm. Let's see. Yes...that should do sufficiently." Keio mumbled to himself. "Are you ready?" He said turning to Inuyasha.

"Ready! Ready for what?" Keio grinned as the process of getting here began all over again.

"To go back farther of course." And they were gone.

Inuyasha looked around his new surroundings. This was something he hadn't seen. A huge castle, one of the biggest he had seen. Tall and dominant in the areas view. Something however did not smell right. Even in the thicket of a huge downpour Inuyasha could smell something foul. Not anything like garbage, more...strong, harsh, painful feelings.

"What's wrong?"

"You'll see. Let's go." Keio said quite sternly. His white hair became matted and his robes began to soak through. Inuyasha was in no better shape.

As they neared the castle, they could hear harsh shouts coming from inside. When they were at the huge door entrance, Inuyasha could pick up every word that was said.

"I can't believe this! When! How!" the voice belonged to InuTaisho. His bellowing harsh and full of anger. Keio stepped through the wall, which left Inuyasha astounded. After a moment, Keio stepped back out.

"Aren't you coming?"

"How..?"

"Think of us as ghosts. Now come on." Inuyasha nodded dumbly and followed.

"How can you think of leaving me...how can you think of leaving your son!"? The woman he was talking to was pacing back and forth, clearly distressed, desperate, and angry. Inuyasha wrinkled his nose as the smell of such strong emotions permeated the air.

"I don't know. I just can't stay here and live a lie! I love him!"

"More than your son! More than Sesshoumaru?" Inuyasha stood frozen to the ground. This is the first he had ever seen Sesshoumaru's mother. His looks definitely came from her. Her face long, slender, her hair silver and pleated atop her head in braids, red eyes sharp and cunning with a glaze of ice and a layer of heart and her nails were long. She stood poised, and with pride, even in her moments of loss. Her face showed emotion, but not as much as a person would expect. A few tears trickled down her alabaster face and her nails dug into her smooth skin.

"I will take him with me." She replied. InuTaisho exploded.

"Take him, take him? Take him where! You said yourself you had no idea where you were running off to! No, no! I will not allow it! He is my son as well, and as his father I will not let such rash and irresponsible decisions ruin his life!" The woman snarled, but her options were few.

She stood, like a deadly but beautiful ice sculpture, before she turned her back to InuTaisho. Inuyasha smelled something new and turned toward the new smell. There, peaking through the crack of a door, was Sesshoumaru as a young boy that looked no older than 13. Not yet masculine, his hair only to his waist, and his eyes misty, but no tears came. He stood pale, and angry, holding his breath, longing to hear what his mother would decide, and dreading it all the same. How the other two couldn't detect him, Inuyasha wasn't sure, for the strongest of all emotional scents was coming from Sesshoumaru.

"Than he shall stay here in your posession, but my path lies elsewhere." She picked up a single bag of her most simple possessions and left. Sesshoumaru's eyes were wide as he slowly stepped out, as if in a daze, to the very spot his mother stood.

"Sesshoumaru..." InuTaisho said, pain evident in his eyes. Sesshoumaru shook his head, his fists clenched.

"How could you let her go..." He whispered. "How could you!"?

"I could not force her to stay Sesshoumaru. It was her decision. Try to understand." InuTaisho said with great weariness.

"No...no! It was that human! I know it! He did this!"

"Sesshoumaru listen..."

"I'll kill him...then mother will come back...I'll kill him...I'll Kill him!" The boy cried in rage and ran out into the rain.

"Sesshoumaru....Sesshoumaru!" InuTaisho called out into the rain. Sesshoumaru didn't even glance back as he ran headlong into the direction his mother had left to.

"Myoga!" InuTaisho's voice rang through the halls with a commanding force.

"Coming! Coming!" Came a small cry and soon a black speck was there on the lord's nose.

Smack

The small flea fell into InuTaisho's hand. Inuyasha stepped really close and looked at his father's open palm.

I can't believe it...the old geezer...isn't so old...

The same flea that had mentored and cowered at the sign of danger was much younger. His back wasn't hunched over, his clothes were much more refined, and on his head was a whole hay bush of hair, mind you, that was gray (I never said he was really young either).

"You called, oh great InuTaisho."

"Sesshoumaru has run off. I need you to go after him while I prepare."

"What! The prince has run away? Oh dear, that's terrible. If someone catches him..."

"So get going already! I must go grab arms, in the mean time I need you to keep an eye on him."

"Yes sir, as you wish, right away." Myoga jumped down and hopped to the door, underneath the crack and was gone.

"Guards!" InuTaisho bellowed and ten men, armed and ready were in his presence.

"Prepare to leave. Gather twenty of your best men and horses. Inform the rest of the guards to prepare to protect the castle or come if aid is needed."

"Yes sir." They bowed.

"Hurry!" his temper rising. The guards rushed out and followed orders.

"Your sword sir." Was the voice of a trusted housemaid.

"And your armor." A bubbly young girl, also a maid said indicating to the five men who were carrying his heavy armor.

"Good. We must hurry." And hurry they did, but as fast as they went, their lord wasn't satisfied and ended up doing up the complicated lace work himself.

"Keio. Why is he doing all this? He could have just ran out and gotten Sesshoumaru by now. What does he need a fighting force for?"

"InuTaisho had received information that a small troop of demons were preparing to infiltrate the castle and kidnap Sesshoumaru. Their plan had been to wait for another week, but he knows that with an opportunity like this, they will go ahead with their plans now."

Inuyasha just shook his head and was about to follow his father out to the stables when he was held back.

"We are leaving."

"What! Where to?" Keio shook his head.

"Farther into the future of the past."

"Not until I find out what happens."

"No. It is not for you to know."

"Like hell. I'm staying here until I find out what happens." Keio sighed. Inuyasha was definitely a stubborn one.

"Sesshoumaru gets attacked by an small battalion of demons and humans." Inuyasha turned to face with him, arms crossed over his chest."

"InuTaisho and his men come just in time to save him. It begins to rain so hard that they are forced to run back to the castle. The water levels rose and flooded everything. The renegade band is found dead a week later, all drowned. Sesshoumaru forgave his father, but blamed his mother's disappearance and all the bad things in that incedant on the human she ran away with."

"Is that why he hates humans so much?" Keio shook his head.

"No. It is only just the beginning." Inuyasha was about to ask more, but soon found himself engulfed in flames, ice, and water.

"Yasu, you have another suitor."

"Send him away."

"But Yasu..."

"No."

"Very well." The servant bowed to the woman of power before her. The woman however, was no older than 20. She stood, her skin pale and fair, hair black and silky, running down in a straight cascaded down her back. Her bangs fell across her forehead delicately, bringing out the brown depths that were her eyes. She looked up at the Sakura tree she stood next to and plucked a blossom.

"If man can own property and run it, than so can a woman. So can I. I do not need any man by my side, someone to turn me into a mere shadow, only useful for breeding. I am not a horse, I am a human, and I refuse to be treated as anything less." With resolute, she straightened her shoulders and walked out of the garden, into the huge house of hers.

"Mother..."

"Yes. That was your mother. Quite headstrong she was. The suitor she sent away was called Kazunara Oda, lord of the lands just south of here. A great admirer of Yasu's beauty, and her land. Remember that name."

"I didn't know she owned this much land..." Inuyasha said jumping into the tree and looking over the vast fields and houses that surrounded his mothers palace. Keio smiled.

"This was right before the Feudal Era. Woman before were treated like goddesses, but were feard, and so as time went on, were put at the bottom of the social ladder. Soon Yasu will be forced to either marry, or prepare war, thus came about your Father. He offered to wed her and save her and her people from war, if she would in return help him run the estates and share with him all of it's wealth. They both agreed to get married, even though there was no love involved, but there was respect, and with respect, came friendship, and eventually, there came love. In the process...there came you." Inuyasha nodded, soaking everything in. He had never been told much about his past, and his memories of it were few.

"Here we go again." Keio interrupted his thoughts.

"Where to now?"

"You'll see." They were gone again.

Authors Ending Note: Just as a reminder, I did make these memories up, I don't know how close they are to Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru's past, but hopefully this will suffice. They do have a purpose, you'll have to wait till around chapter 47 to find out what though.
