Thanks to everyone who read, thanks especially to everyone who reviewed, and thanks to all the crazy bands and groupies!

Chapter 13-Unforgiven II (Metallica)

Black heart scarring darker still...yes, she'll be there when I'm gone...

#-InuTaisho/Izayoi POV

"Tenseiga, don't let me down," InuTaisho whispered. He sliced through the demons from the underworld, waiting in tense silence for what seemed an eternity before the woman opened her eyes. He quickly pulled out his fire-rat kimono to shield her from the flames.

Takemaru stumbled in, bleeding and panting, enraged by the sight of the demon. Demanding a fight. The building was collapsing; not the best time for a fight, not at all...

"Izayoi...this child will be named Inuyasha," InuTaisho whispered.

"But..." Izayoi looked at him worriedly.

"Go. Live, live with Inuyasha. GO!" he commanded desperately. Izayoi turned and fled, heeding his words. She ran out, stopping only when she was a safe distance from the burning castle. She turned to look, just in time to see the fire flare menacingly, just in time to see the building collapse, surely devouring the two who were inside...surely killing them both...Izayoi looked down at the young child in her arms, the young Inuyasha...

He was all she had left of her husband, all she had...the fire-rat kimono, her son, and Sesshoumaru...

Would she still be unforgiven by the young demon who had hated her so? She knew that she would be.

Would her son be so despised by him, though? She had to know, she didn't want to know, but she knew anyway, she didn't have a clue...her thoughts swam through her head.

Yes, he probably would never forgive her...she would remain unforgiven...will Inuyasha be unforgiven too?
