Chapter 3
Izayoi's pregnancy, a birth, and a death.
One month.
It's been a month since Inutaishou and Izayoi mated. The young woman is worried because the demon lord hasn't returned since he left. Miles away Inutaishou is on his way. He's been slowed down by storms. The demon lord is untransformed and headed toward the mansion. At the mansion Izayoi is out in the garden. Takemaru is near by for when the demon returns. Just then Inutaishou jumped over the wall. Izayoi saw him and ran up to him. The demon lord and the young woman hugged. Inutaishou pulled away and said "I'm sorry I took so long to return. I was slowed down by storms." Izayoi smiled and said "It's ok Inutaishou. Oh I have good news."
The demon lord asked "What is it dear?" The young woman giggled and said "Inutiashou I'm pregnant." Inutaishou smiled and said "That's wonderful Izayoi. Then I'll stay here and train for two months. Before I go challenge Ryukotsusei."
Three months.
Inutaishou has been training for two months. Izayoi is now three months pregnant. She is showing a small belly. Takemaru doesn't like the idea of Izayoi being mated to a demon. Let alone her carrying the demon's unborn pup. He is trying to think of a way to get rid of the demon lord and the unborn pup. Takemaru smirked as he came up with a plan. Inutaishou kissed Izayoi and said "I have to go and fight Ryukotsusei before he take over my lands." The young woman said "Please be careful and return soon." Inutaishou nodded and said "Don't worry I'll be careful and I'll return soon." The demon lord kissed his mate and left. On his way out. Takemaru went up to him and said "On the day Izayoi goes into labor. I'm going to killer and your child."
Inutaishou growled and said "If you harm her or my pup I'll kill you." With that said the demon lord left.
Five months.
It's been two months since Inutaishou left. Izayoi is worried about him. She is now showing a medium sized belly. Right now she is sitting on the porch. Just then she felt the pup kick. The young woman smiled and wished Inutaishou was there. Speaking of the demon lord he has finally reached Ryukotsusei. He was slowed down by snow storms. Inutaishou transformed and yelled "Come out and fight Ryukotsusei!" A huge purple dragon demon appeared and roared. The huge white dog demon tackled the dragon. Ryukotsusei and Inutaishou fought with strength, teeth, and claws. The dragon demon managed to dig his claws into the demon lord's side. Inutaishou howled and shoved Ryukotsusei against a cliff. The demon lord sealed the dragon with a claw. Inutaishou turned and headed toward Izayoi's mansion.
Six months.
It's the night of a lunar eclipse and Izayoi is in labor. Takemaru has an army ready for Inutaishou's return. Inutaishou is standing on the beach with Sesshomaru. The young demon looked at his father's back and asked "Father do you think you should go?" Inutaishou and asked "Will you stop from going Sesshomaru?" Sesshomaru said "No I won't how ever you must entrust the sword Tesusaiga and Sounga to me." The demon lord asked "And if I don't give then to you. Will you kill me?" When Sesshomaru didn't answer. Inutaishou asked "Why do you desire power?" Sesshomaru glared at his father and said "The path I walk is the way of supreme conquest."
Not wanting to hear anymore Inutaishou transformed and ran off. Takemaru has killed the midwife an is on his way to the birthing room. Once in the birthing room he can hear Izayoi's heavy breathing. When the young woman saw a shadow she asked "Who is it." The man said "It is I Takemaru." Izayoi got through a contraction and said "I'm glad you're here. Gather the men and leave the grounds." Takemaru sighed and said "I know you're well aware of my feelings for you. But your heat has been taken by a demon." With that said the man stabbed Izayoi with his spear and left. As Izayoi laid there dieing and giving birth. She could hear Inutaishou's howl. At the mansion's main gate Inutaishou appeared in his regular form.
He unsheathed Tetsusaiga and used the wind scar. As Takemaru headed toward the gate he heard a thud. Just then he heard the crys of a newborn. When Inutaishou got passed the main gate he saw Takemaru. The man smirked and said "So you finally come a little late though." The demon lord growled and asked "What do you mean?" Takemaru said "I already killed Izayoi and your child." Inutaishou growled angrily and said "You fool I'll kill you." With Tetsusaiga in his hands. The demon lord ran toward Takemaru. The man unsheathed his sword and ran toward Inutaishou. Inutaishou swung Tetsusaiga and cut off Takemaru's arm. Then the demon lord ran into the mansion. Takemaru ordered his men to set the mansion on fire.
Inside the mansion Inutaishou has sheathed Tetsusaiga. Now he's following the sound of a crying infant. He followed the cry to the birthing room. There he found a dead Izayoi and a crying pup. He unsheathed Tenseiga and it pulsated. The demon lord swung Tenseiga and a blue light appeared. Izayoi started breathing, opened her eyes, and sat up while holding the pup. Inutaishou sheathed Tenseiga and got a fire rat coat and put it on Izayoi. He looked at the pup in her arms and asked "It's a girl or a boy?" The young woman smiled and said "It's a boy."
Just then Takemaru came into the burning room. Inutaishou stood in front of Izayoi and unsheathed Sounga. The man said "I'll fight you to the death." Inutaishou sighed and said "Inuyasha." Takemaru asked "What did you say?" The demon lord said "The infant's name his name will be Inuyasha." Izayoi looked at the pup and said "Inuyasha." Just then Inutaishou said "Now you take Inuyasha and get out of here." The young woman nodded and ran out of the burning mansion. After running far enough. She around and watched as the mansion collapsed. Knowing the western lands aren't safe for her and Inuyasha. So she headed toward the eastern lands. It's dark and she's tired.
So she found an abandoned hut and went to sleep. In the morning it's raining. Totosai and Myouga are at the burnt down mansion. Myouga placed his masters remains in a black pearl. Inside the demon lord's remains is Tetsusaiga. Totosai made sure that Sesshomaru got Tenseiga. And Sounga was distorted so they'll never have to worry about it. Miles away Izayoi is in the abandoned hut. She's breast feeding Inuyasha. The young is moarning the loss of her mate. Izayoi looked down at Inuyasha and saw that he had silvery white hair and little dog ears on his head. Just then Inuyasha opened his light gold eyes. The young woman smiled and watched the rain.
After Inuyasha was done feeding he fell asleep. Izayoi fixed her kimono and she too fell asleep. In the morning the sun is shining so Izayoi headed east. She wrapped Inuyasha in the fire rat that Inutaishou gave her. The young woman knew she was at the boarder. When she she saw clawed trees. Izayoi took a deep breath and crossed into the eastern lands. She heard rumors of a dog demon younger than Inutaishou ruled these lands. Not far away standing on the cliff watching Izayoi is the young demon lord. His name is Zantor he is 5'10'' is 400 years old but looks 20. Has snow white hair, blue eyes, and a silver star on his forehead.
Zantor knew Inutaishou very well. And he has heard that the lord of the west has died. The young demon lord has two swords. Trinseiga the sword that can kill and heal. And Boshido uses the earths elements as attacks. Zantor and Inutaishou were such good friends. That Inutaishou told Zantor everything about Izayoi. Now he sees a woman matching Izayoi's description. And he sees that she's carrying a pup. The young demon lord could tell that the woman he sees is Izayoi. He decided to keep an eye on her. At mid day the young woman a place to rest. While she rested Zantor left to find a village for her stay at. He finally found one four miles away. The young demon lord made the villagers promise to treat Izayoi and her pup fairly.
Zantor went back to where Izayoi is. He wrote a note and gave it to the tea house owner. The tea house owner gave Izayoi the note. She unfolded it and read it. The young woman was glad to read that someone cared to find her somewhere to stay. She wished the person that wrote the note signed his or her name. Izayoi followed the note's instruction and went to the village. She settled in very quickly. Izayoi hopes she and Inuyasha will be able to live in peace. The young woman had a feeling that who ever wrote the note would watch over her and Inuyasha.
