-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once upon a time, in a kingdom in western Japan, there lived a king and queen. The queen was the princess of a nearby kingdom, and the most beautiful in the realm. Her husband was great king, one of a long line of rulers. They were happy together. However they ruled no ordinary kingdom and the king, Inutaisho was no ordinary king. He was a taij youkai, a noble demon, but his wife Izayoi was human.

The demons that they ruled over, hated Inutaisho because he had taken a mortal for his mate. Even though they despised Izayoi, she was tolerated because of Inutaisho. When they heard that Izayoi was with child, and that it would be a hanyou, or half demon half human, they were furious. Izayoi's family had abandoned her when she married Inutaisho, but when they heard the news, it was decided that she and the child would die.

Time passed and the prince was born. He had silver hair with two white dog ears perched on top of his head. Most stunning of all were his eyes, which he got from his father. They were bright amber, like liquid gold. Inutaisho decided to name him Inuyasha.

Now Inuyasha was not Inutaisho's first son. Before he had met Izayoi, he was married to a beautiful inu youkai, or dog demon named Kima, meaning pure of spirit. Kima was a beautiful demon, and a skilled fighter, but their marriage was arranged by their parents before they were born. They still loved each other dearly and when Kima died giving birth to their son, Sesshomaru, Inutaisho grieved for years.

Sesshomaru looked much like his mother, with long silver hair and a blue crescent moon on his forehead. While Inuyasha was growing up there was a war between Japan and China, so Inutaisho had little time to spend with his new son, so Sesshomaru became the protector of Izayoi and Inuyasha. He taught the young hanyou the basics of sword play and how to read and write. If anyone looked at the two then, they would have seen two loving brothers, and not the bloody rivals they would become.

Five years after the beginning of the war, Inutaisho defeated the Chinese leader Hyoga. In successfully sealing Hyoga, Inutaisho suffered great wounds, and died before he could reach his palace. When word reached Sesshomaru, he believed that the blame lay with Izayoi and Inuyasha, because he was emotionally weak for caring for a human and a hanyou.

Sesshomaru was planning on killing his stepmother and half-brother with his own two hands, but when he arrived at the castle, the deed was already done. It seemed that the demons and humans had teamed up and destroyed the House of The Moon. All that remained of the palace was ruble. Sesshomaru searched for Izayoi to make sure she was dead. When he found her body, still lying where she had been crushed by a falling pillar, he turned to go. But as he started to walk away, he heard a small cry. He looked around and pinpointed the sound.

When the pillar had fallen onto Izayoi, she had been carrying Inuyasha, no doubt trying to escape. Her body had shielded him from the blow and now he lay there, helpless and crying. 'He would be so easy to kill',Sesshomaru thought. Then he thoughtabout all the times that he had protected Inuyasha, and decided that he could not kill him. He would insteadmake him suffer through life never knowing if he would survive,which was unlikely. So Sesshomaru picked up the small boy and carried him deep into the forest before laying his sleeping form at the base of a large tree, abandoning him to die.
