Guardian
Myoga has never been terribly brave, although he'll be the last person to admit it. He has no taste for the battle that has driven all his masters.
In fact, when Lord Inutaisho tells him that he'll be a retainer for his second child, the half-demon that his new wife carries, he is relieved. What trouble can a child get in to, after all?
He should have known better, really. After all, this child, half-demon or no, is the son of the Inu no Taisho, and Myoga has never known a creature, man or demon, who was more capable of getting into trouble than the great Dog Lord.
He is as much help to the Lady Izayoi as he can be, and he does as his lord bid, a command twofold -- guard the child, guard the tomb.
Fortunately, he's the only one who realizes that the two are one and the same, although he dreads the day Lord Sesshomaru realizes it, as well, for Tetsusaiga was buried with his father, and Tetsusaiga is Sesshomaru's all-consuming desire.
He just hopes, when this is realized, he's as far away from the two brothers as he can get.
After all, Myoga has never been terribly brave.
