This is my first fan-fic, so go easy on me, okay? This is the first chapter, and it took a lot of time to write it. This story is about… well if I told you, then it wouldn't be a surprise anymore now would it? The only things I can tell you are that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are in here. There are no new characters here and sadly, I do not own Inuyasha! Cause if I did, some of the episodes wouldn't be rip-offs.


The Family Secret

Chapter 1: The Fang

Today was a day like every other. The sun was out, Inuyasha and the gang were searching for Naraku, and Miroku was being a pervert again by keeping his hands a little too close to Sango, as usual. It was a typical day, but the most natural part was that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were in another battle to the death. This encounter, however, was different than all of the other ones. In this one, Inuyasha was losing, horribly. It barely started yet, and Sesshomaru was already getting the better of him.

"You bastard! Try and dodge this, WIND SCAR!" Inuyasha flung his sword around like an idiot, again. Sesshomaru cut through the attack with his Tokijin and was now face to face with his brother. He ran towards him and their swords clashed. Sesshomaru then knocked the Tetsusaiga out of his hands and it flung in the air. He thrust the Tokijin across Inuyasha's chest and a fang came out of his stomach, along with his blood. Inuyasha fell to the ground and couldn't budge because Sesshomaru held his sword to his throat. "Inuyasha, your battle skills have grown even more pitiable. Yet, what else could be expected from a half-breed like you? Any final words before you go to the netherworld, little brother?" Inuyasha's face glowed with hatred and fury.

"Only that I hate you and always will, Sesshomaru!" Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at his brother and saw a fang, which was covered in blood, right next to his body. Father's fang can't protect you now. He looked at it once more, and widened his eyes in surprise. Wait, that's not father's fang. Why does he have that fang and, where did he get it? Inuyasha was getting irritated because Sesshomaru was just staring at the ground. Now he was getting annoyed. Sesshomaru took his Tokijin away from his throat and put it away. Inuyasha was still lying on the ground, confused at what just happened. "I will let you live a while longer. But only for certain reasons, Inuyasha." A bright light then came and Sesshomaru disappeared. Inuyasha got up off the ground, grabbed Tetsusaiga, and sheathed it. Then he noticed a fang next to his body. He picked it up and examined it. "Inuyasha! Are you alright?" Kagome asked him, with some worry in her voice.

"Yeah, I'm fine Kagome." She smiled and looked at what was in his hand. Then out of nowhere, Inuyasha slapped his cheek and a little flee came withering down to his palm, next to the fang. "Hey Myoga, you mind telling me what this fang is? I know this isn't mine but it's covered in my blood. And it came out of me." Myoga listened to Inuyasha and observed it. "It's your father's fang. Why do you ask, Master Inuyasha?"

"Just wondering. Come on, let's go." Sango caught up to Kagome and Miroku. Kagome was still thinking about something. "Myoga, can you tell me why his father's fang was inside of him?" Miroku also asked the same question, as of Sango. "All right, since you asked, I will tell you." He paused for a bit, and then started talking.

"When a dog-demon baby is born, it has no protection. So the father has to give a fang to the baby and the mother puts it inside the infant. When the fang is inside it protects the baby from any danger, even death. Does that answer your question, Kagome?" Kagome nodded and kept walking. So that's why Inuyasha doesn't die so easily. After they were done talking, Inuyasha put the fang back inside his body. Miroku was wondering about something Myoga had said and he had to ask. "Myoga, how does the fang protect the infant?"

"The fang has a symbol which provides a barrier for the child. And in Master Inuyasha's case, the symbol on the fang is a blue full moon. But only the father can see the symbol of the fang." Inuyasha was now annoyed with these questions and started yelling. "Look, who cares about some stupid fang! The only thing that matters is the jewel shards and Naraku. And I'm not going to waste my time wondering about babies and protection! You got that!"

"Inuyasha, I don't think that was a good idea." Shippo said, worrying at what might happen to him. "OH YEAH! Give me one good reason why!"

"Inuyasha, SIT BOY!" The necklace glowed and brought him crashing down to the ground. Bringing him physical pain and leaving a fissure in the soil. Maybe next time you'll choose your words carefully, Inuyasha.

Meanwhile

When he reached the camp where his companions were at, he asked Jaken where Rin was. And like clockwork, Rin came. "Come. We're going home." When Sesshomaru said this, Jaken looked almost eager to go to the Western Lands. But Rin was wondering at what he meant by "home." So she asked him. "Uhhhh… Lord Sesshomaru. What do you mean, "Going home"?" Sesshomaru still had his back to her, but he did answer her question. "We're going to my home, Rin. I have some business to attend to there." I have to find out the truth about Inuyasha, and why my fang was next to his body.


All right, I am finished with this chapter. I'll update once a week so PLEASE REVIEW!
