Chap 03: the hanyou Inuyasha
------Saburo's PoV------
According to Sesshoumaru his younger half-brother was cursed by a Miko fifty years ago, now he was free again and he had dared to attack Sesshoumaru-sama. I had to meet this younger lord as soon as possible. I walked into the forest called after him. The wait didn't lasted long because a young girl appeared followed close by the hanyou.
"Inuyasha, do you want to know the secret to mastering Tessaiga?"
"What can you possibly know about it?"
"So rude!!"
"Inuyasha-sama, please hear what she has to say!!" that voice was Myouga's. If the flea demon was here, then I was definitely close to Inuyasha.
"Wait, a youkai is coming?!"
I walked towards them calmly, I wanted them so see me and I also wanted to see him. If this young lord was worthy of wielding Tessaiga, why was Sesshoumaru-sama not worthy of it too? Sesshoumaru had been like an older brother for me. He always protected me in the battles in his own special way. I had killed my real brothers for him. The hanyou had golden eyes, silvery hair and two dog-ears on the top of his head.
"Your eyes are just like those of Sugimi-sama. Then you must be Inuyasha."
"Who the fuck are you?" I couldn't avoid to growl after sensing the scent of my lord's blood on the blade.
"How dare you wield your blade against your kin? I have come to settle things with for what you have done to Sesshoumaru-sama!!"
"That bastard sent you to fight me?!?! I bet he's still licking his wounds!!!" I hated the mocking tone in his voice. How dare he say such a thing? Even if he was Inutaisho's son he was to pay for that insult.
"Don't dare to insult Sesshoumaru-sama further more!! I shall defeat you with the very blade he gave to me. I don't care if you don't consider Sesshoumaru-sama your brother, because I do and I shall make you pay for what you did to him."
------Inuyasha's PoV------
I watched as Kagome ran to protect herself. That crazy youkai instantly jumped over me with his blade. He said many stupid things about him and Sesshoumaru. I could sense he was inu youkai. I was blocked his hit with Tessaiga. He charged again after me; his hits were becoming faster and stronger. This stranger lacked of the markings of most strong youkai, he had been born from lesser youkai and still he was at Sesshoumaru's service. The idea of that bastard accepting a lesser youkai as an equal was funny, the same as if he could be considered a 'brother'.
"Inuyasha!!!" Kagome's cry made me turn away and the youkai used his opportunity to knock Tessaiga of my claws. Two snake youkai were approaching her as I battled with the stranger. It didn't matter, I had to go and save Kagome. "Inuyasha-sama don't leave the blade!"
"It's barrier will reject that youkai anyway! Kagome needs help!" I could sense the other inu youkai heading towards Kagome.
"Kagome!!!!!" to my surprise the stranger killed the attackers with his claws and saved Kagome. The two youkai vanished in a dust cloud and the stranger released Kagome when he landed.
"Who are you?!" He saved Kagome, no youkai would have done that. Especially one associated with Sesshoumaru.
------Saburo's PoV------
"I am Saburo! A warrior that has followed after your father Inutaisho Sugimi and Sesshoumaru-sama since before you were born." The flea demon jumped from his shoulder and landed on mine's. It was Myoga.
"Saburo?? It's really you?! It's been a long time?!" This surprised Inuyasha, his surprised expression reminded him of Keiji. I feared that my son's destiny would be the same as this hanyou called Inuyasha.
"Have you come to collect the Tessaiga for Sesshoumaru?"
"No, as I told you I came here because of what you did to Sesshoumaru- sama."
"So the bastard is still alive?" Again the hanyou insulted Sesshoumaru-sama with no reason. He was driving me mad and that was something few managed to do.
"The only bastard as far as I know is YOU. If you insist in insult Sesshoumaru-sama I shall be forced to forget you are Suguimi's son and."
"I don't believe you are friends with him. He doesn't even know what that word means. And you saved the life of a human girl. any other youkai would have allowed her to die."
"Not all youkai hate humans, Sugimi-sama knew that. I'm loosing my time with you. I expected to make you understand that what you did to your brother was wrong. But you don't even know how to wield Tessaiga, you have much to learn yet." I felt that he prepared another attack but Myoga stopped him.
"Let him go Inuyasha-sama, he is not your enemy and he saved Kagome's life" the hanyou just growled at me and continued his way in the opposite direction.
------Inuyasha's PoV------
That youkai, claimed to be angry at me for what I did to Sesshoumaru. How is it come that a youkai knew more about him than Myoga or than I? Myoga was very familiar with him, meaning that his story was true. He knew my father. The respect tone that he used for their names surprised me. He honestly cared for them. But when he said my name. it was full of anger. Guess it was because I'm a hanyou and that wouldn't be surprising.
"Myoga-jiji. who was that youkai that saved me?" Kagome was surprised with him too, specially after meeting Sesshoumaru.
"He was a servant of Sesshoumaru, but he granted him freedom long ago. They have been close friends, even your Lord Father felt some fondness for this youkai."
"But he was so different to all the youkai we have faced before."
"He kind of reminded me of your Lord Father when he was young. Perhaps that is why he takes along with Sesshoumaru. You should have asked him to be your friend Inuyasha-sama, Inuyasha-sama?"
"Feh!" I turned my back to them and pretended to be asleep. That inu youkai had known my father, he was also friends with Sesshoumaru and even Myoga liked him. I was kind of curious about him but.
------Saburo's PoV------
As I walked away the face of that hanyou kept hunting me. But it was because of my son. Maeko was a loving mother but the people in the village hated me and they hated him too. Specially Maeko's father, it became so obvious when Sesshoumaru-sama appeared. The human girl reminded me of Maeko, I had to save her. Now I could understand Sugimi-sama's words. and also the real value of Tessaiga.
I just expected Sesshoumaru-sama to be fine, his wounds were really severe and his arm. if that hanyou had the ability to sever him that much, then he'd be able to master Tessaiga.
------Sesshoumaru's PoV------
Many days had passed since I went to Saburo. My wounds were too painful to continue wandering. All the different thoughts about Saburo and my father made my journey easy. That youkai had been a humble servant born in a family of lesser youkai. His brothers had been nothing than weak and coward traitors. I decided to rest against a tree. the scent of my blood was everywhere and my senses failed to prevent me someone was approaching.
"Who is there?"
"It's just me, your humble servant Saburo." He had come all this way to see me. why? "I went to look for your brother."
That word caused the waves of pain to increase their punishment in my body "half-brother"
"I went to look for him but I could not bring myself to make him pay for this insult against your honor Sesshoumaru-sama."
"The memories of my father did not allowed you to do so."
"It seems you know me well, I could not bring harm to that creature knowing that he had some of blood of Sugimi-sama." Even if he had failed, I could not be angry with him. His reasons were understandable for someone who had served my father like he did.
"But there is something I'd like to remind you about Sesshoumaru-sama. It's about Tenseiga; the twin sword of Tessaiga."
"Tessaiga? Do you know where it is?" Again his ability surprised me, to recall every single detail in the precise moment. He was always handy.
"Yes, the youkai called Tototusai has it. He was the one to forge both blades and he should hand it to you."
"Fine, I shall go and look for him. you may return to your lands Saburo"
------Inuyasha's PoV------
The search of the Shikkon shards continued after the inu youkai disappeared. Why did he save Kagome? Why? I wondered if this was another trick of Sesshoumaru. but Myouga insisted everything would be fine.
"We were sure lucky that Saburo left on his own. He's almost as strong as Sesshoumaru and if he was to fight you at full strength."
"Shut up old man!!! I defeated Sesshoumaru, I can beat up that guy if he ever comes again."
"Hehehe. do not worry Inuyasha-sama. Saburo won't be able to hurt you. The fondness he has for your family won't let him." The fondness. what kind of relation did he had with Sesshoumaru and my father? To be compared with them.
"Hn!! Let's go, we've got much Shikkon shards to find!"

A/N: Inutaisho is also called Sugimi in this fic because I heard Myouga calling him like that once in the first IY movie. Sango and Miroku remain to join the group..
