A week, it was a total of seven days that Sesshomaru could not continue on his journey. Many might think why, well here is your answer ladies and gentlemen. As Sesshomaru was on about his business a certain man or should he say demon came along his view.

"Lord Sesshomaru" He stated with an utter of fear and nervousness behind his voice. The kanzen youkai merely stared towards the demon and awaited on what exactly could he want now. "I heard from a friend, that you are in the interest of Lady Izayoi"Again Sesshomaru said nothing in response. The man himself sat on a cow that stood on a cloud, he was familiar with the demon, but that didn't exactly mean he could question Sesshomaru on his business. "What is your business among the Lady?"

"That is none of your concern" Was all the youkai responded as he continued to walk having enough time wasted already. Seriously, first it was Myouga and now Totosai what was there to hide? Were they trying to protect that Izayoi terrain? Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed. What was there to protect? This ningen was the cause of his father's death, in fact he should have the right to kill that same exactly person who ruined him.

"You are there to kill the Lady aren't you?" Sesshomaru said nothing, there was enough talk. He knew what they were trying to pull. It was an act, they were all just questioning him in order to stall for time. It was ENOUGH time he was wasting. This human is the meaning to all this and he had enough of it.

"Totosai, you are last person to come to this Sesshomaru to stall" Totosai was a backed. "I will do what I will and you and no one else will come and distract me" The old swordsman demon bit his lip he had to make sure Sesshomaru wouldn't go anywhere near Lady Izayoi for the fear of the infant.

"Sesshomaru your father wanted me to give you, your sword" This made the youkai turn towards the swordsman.

"Has father left me Tetsusaiga" It was no question but a statement. Again Totosai bit his lip the fear in him grew more by the second for one he knew that Sesshomaru would be enraged by the fact that his father did not leave him Tetsusaiga the sword that would kill one hundred men in a single blow, but Tenseiga that sword that would save one hundred men in a swing. And plus two Totosai knew he was going to die right after the stunt he was going to pull, he just hoped Sesshomaru would actually go for it. It was a foolish plan he knew but he would have to do for Izayoi.

"You must travel with me to retrieve it Lord Sesshomaru" The youkai did not like the idea of traveling with the swordsman. The great Sesshomaru needed no company in his journeys. "Are you not interested in carrying out your father's sword?" This was a certain tease from Totosai, Sesshomaru knew. The question remained though, should he continue his travel towards the terrain or follow this fool in regaining his father's sword? His father sword is more important than some human woman will ever be.

"Come you must show me to my father's sword" Was his last decision. Totosai didn't know whether to rejoice or be afraid, this should give Myouga enough time to spread the rumor. It was going to pain Lady Izayoi's heart, but it was for the safety for her and her little infant. Totosai could still remember the conversation he held with The Great Dog Demon.

Flash Back

"Totosai" The youkai stated as he sat in the cave of the swordsman. He was there for quiet a while for he needed his last sword to be forged, Sounga.

"Yes My Lord please wait a little more time your sword will be finished in a moment" The Great Dog Demon shook his head as if indicating that, that wasn't to what he was referring to.

"Totosai, if I were to die in combat...You are to protect Izayoi" The old swordsman lifted his head and titled it in confusion.

"Izayoi?" The youkai turned to his friend with much saddened eyes. This surprised Totosai, the legendary dog demon wallowed in sadness? "My Lord are you afraid that another demon might come and kill your lover?" The youkai nodded for a response. "Is there someone else that wants a claim for her heart?"

"No, for I would never allow that to ever happen" Now the swordsman was confused even more. It wasn't a lover's quarrel? It wasn't humans that the youkai was afraid of ethier, then what exactly was it making his friend in such fear? "My son..." The Great Dog Demon said in a despondent voice.

"Lord Sesshomaru? What is there to be afraid of?" Totosai seemed a little clear to why his friend might have some concern, but this was no ordinary family he was dealing with.

"He shows no sign of compassion nor any sign of emotion. All he ever cares about is power and his place in my throne" It was quiet for a moment, neither knew what to say. "I have decided Totosai, Sesshomaru will not carry on Tetsusaiga. He is to carry forth Tenseiga, you are the person who will make sure my son receives his sword" At the moment in time the old swordsman was honored to do such a task.

"Of course My Lord I will be honored, but what is to be done with Tetsusaiga?" The Great Dog Demon smirked.

"You are to bury it in my grave, for it will belong to another son of mine" Totosai didn't know how to respond. His Lord had yet another son that he has not yet mentioned with anyone? If he had another did that mean...

"My Lord has many secrets" Was the only thing that was appropriate at the moment to say. The Great Dog Demon chuckled but the awkward say his friend was stating.

"You to one day Totosai will see my new born son"

"I can see why Sesshomaru can be a threat My Lord" The youkai sighed in knowing that Totosai finally got what he was trying to say. Telling people how he felt was something new even for him, but he knew it was all thanks to Lady Izayoi. The Great Dog Demon blamed no one, but himself for the way his eldest son acted though now it was to late. He just hoped that his new born is the opposite of Sesshomaru. "Have you come with a name for the new born yet My Lord?"

'A name?' The youkai thought. What would be the infants name?

"Not in the slightest my friend" He chuckled once more.

End of Flash Back -

Back to the present

Totosai began to follow Sesshomaru as he looked back. It wasn't to far, not at all. A few more minutes and Sesshomaru would have accomplished to what he was aiming for. Sesshomaru didn't even realize the change of smell the old swordsman put around the air so that the youkai wouldn't notice the princess. What it his lucky day? Or had The Great Dog Demon been right about his son? Either way Sesshomaru was walking away from Izayoi and Inuyasha.

Back to the Village!

Mizuno narrowed her eyes toward the five. How could they have already known? Lady Izayoi had been her house in secret, she lied when she told the princess that the entire village have known of her and loved her. Actually scratch that, the village knew of her from the moment the rumors started about her seeing a demon, and lets just say the village wasn't a big fan of her after word.

"I have no idea to what you are all talking about" The elderly woman said in defense. The man in front stepped towards her in up most anger.

"You think you have us fooled you old hag?" The woman next to him stepped in as well.

"We have known that you have Lady Izayoi here in your house and that she carries a hanyou, a hanyou Mizuno!"

"Whoever I let in my home is my business! None of you have any say in this! Leave, leave all of you!" Mizuno yelled at all the people that stayed in her hut, it was starting to get crowded anyways. No one seemed to move though, not one. What was she going to do now?

"You have no choice Mizuno, you ethier make Izayoi leave with her demon child or we kill them both" This is what the elderly woman feared, it wasn't fair! Mizuno wasn't just going to let this happen again, no not like her children over her dead body!

"Do what you will but you will not make Lady Izayoi leave or die! Not while I still stand and breath I will protect Lady Izayoi!" The five of crowd of people looked towards each other not really knowing what to do. Would they really kill Mizuno just so that Izayoi would live?

"You let us have no choice Mizuno" The leader of the five said as he grabbed a pan from the table. Mizuno in horror watched as he began to swing on her head then the young man looked towards the others and yelled. "Grab something! Anything! We must make sure that the village is safe!" Everyone nodded and grabbed anything they could find and began to swing towards Mizuno. Mizuno fell to the grounded and felt all the pain that was being inflicted upon her. The elderly woman opened her eyes and started to see flash backs of her life flash before her eyes. The memories of her husband and children, a smile slowly snaked it's way to her mouth as her eyes started to dim down. After the cold heartless mission was done the villagers quickly noticed her death and blood that was on them and ran out of the scene.

Lady Izayoi was bathing her precious infant in the river with a bar of soap while the little started to wiggle out of the way trying to run away from the evil thing. The princess smiled and giggled in watching her baby act such a way.

"There she is!" A voice yelled out in anger. The princess turned to the source of yell and noticed it was a gang of villagers heading towards her way. Izayoi narrowed her eyes in concern, why were they yelling? "Quickly get her and her demon child!" This made the princess's eyes widen in shock, so much fear ran through her system like running water in a stream. Izayoi quickly grabbed her infant in the robe of the fire rat and ran towards Mizuno's hut while the villagers ran after her. She didn't know why this was happening when Mizuno said that the village loved her this wasn't making any sense! As she made her way towards the hut she noticed something different right away.

"Mizuno! Mizuno! The villagers they're-" The princess gasped in horror, there laying on the floor was her friend. "No...MIZUNO!" The princess yelled in anger and fear.

"She's in the hut! Quickly don't let her escape!" Izayoi turned back and witnessed the villagers coming closer. She had to leave and leave far, far away! It didn't matter where just somewhere! Izayoi held her infant towards her chest and began to run, she ran all the way inside the forest. The voices of the villagers continued to be heard in the background so she continued to run. Lady Izayoi ran and ran until she knew she could run no more, and when that happened she layed down to the floor with her infant at hand and breathed very heavily. Mizuno was dead and there was no other place she knew to where she could stay. Tears streamed down her eyes in both sadness and fear. She didn't know what to do! What could she do? Just then Inuyasha started to cry in her chest. Izayoi quickly pulled her infant and shhed him.

"Shhhh ..Inuyasha everything is going to be okay" His mother tried her hardest to make her voice as calm as possible. It just wasn't fair, nothing about anything wasn't fair. What now? How was she going to survive? No! She couldn't think this way! Anything is possible! She knew she could do it if she just put her mind to it that's all. She had to make a new way and a new pack. She would do this for her infant Inuyasha, nothing was going to make her infant hurt. Nothing. And so her new journey continued and she started to walk to who now where.

Time skip! (I just love those)

It had been three days, but Lady Izayoi had not found any place to stay. They only way she slept was by grass or under a tree. The princess considered herself lucky that a random demon has not shown up and tried to attack her at all. She had walked almost none stop and right at the moment her infant was asleep and she was beginning to give up hope. The sky was dark and cloudy, it looked like it was about to start to rain any time soon and she needed a place to stay any place! Just as long as her infant didn't get sick she couldn't afford if Inuyasha had the flu. How was she to treat him?

"I have ...to walk" She ordered herself. Just then as if on cue a light of a thunder storm brought out. Droplets of rain slowly started to fall, Izayoi tiredly rapped the robe of the fire rat above her head to prevent any water to dare hit her infant, but how much longer was she to walk? She walked for serval hours more until a light of a hut came into view. "Please...please someone" She barely said at a whisper. Izayoi tried her hardest to walk towards the hut that came into view the closer she got. "Please..." She continued to beg on her own. As she finally reached the hut's front door she knocked on the entrance three times. A very young woman came into clearing.

"Miss are you okay?" She yelled very concerned.

"Please...my baby" Lady Izayoi said as her body finally reached her climax. Slowly the princess fainted still refusing to let go of her baby. Before her eyes were in a total of close she witnessed in slow motion how the younger woman caught her and yelled for someone else then after it was clouded by darkness. As she felt her body being carried inside Lady Izayoi made a very hard effort not to drift into sleep.

"AAAHHHHH!" The princess heard a yell from her ears and then what was it? Her baby! He was crying!

"What is it dear?" A male voice was heard. The princess soon right after his words opened her eyes to witness both of them in horror as the young woman holded her baby.

"It has dog ears!" The female yelled in shock.

"Then it must be a demon!" He responded.

"What do we do?" The princess tried her freakin best to sit up and stare at both of them.

"Please...don't hurt my baby. If you want us to leave I would gladly do so, but please do not hurt my baby for he is the only one that keeps my will to live" Lady Izayoi said in a sad voice. The couple looked at her and then the baby.

"You can stay, you and your baby" The princess felt relief.

"You have guts you know that right lady?" The male man said in a chuckle, soon after the princess went right to sleep.

In the next day the princess awoke to the sound of her infant in laughter, though why was he laughing? Lady Izayoi looked around the hut and saw that the young woman from last night was holding her infant in her arms tickeling his little stomache. The young woman noticed the princess had already wake and quickly made her way towards her.

"Good morning!" She said happily. She then placed the baby in his right place in his mother's arms. "How did you sleep?" Izayoi stared at Inuyasha while the infant did the same.

"I-I slept fine thank you" She said thankfully.

"My name is Hizuki Wakashima" She started to introduce herself and as if in a movie the male man from last night as well walked in. "And the man who just happen to have entered is my husband Kanon Wakashima" Izayoi bowed to both of them.

"Thank you have much both of you for taking me in last night in the rain" The couple both stared at each other feeling bad for what they said about her baby last night.

"No please we are very sorry for the way we reacted towards your baby" Hizuki started.

"It wasn't in our place to judge" Kanon finished. Lady Izayoi felt honored to be apologized to, it has jsut felt like so long since she was ever treated right along with her baby ever since Mizuno died. She knew it had only been three days since her death, but she was getting use to the elderly woman, she was so nice and so sweet.

"Thank you very much again. My name is Izayoi and this in my infant Inuyasha" The princess introduced.

"We are happy to have you both here, you two can stay as long as you want" Izayoi looked at them and smiled as tears once again streamed down her face with happiness.

"No problem Izayoi" Since that nicely stay Izayoi had decided to live there. No problems had occurred to her or Inuyasha and she was happy for that she can now live a normal life of a mother and her child.

With Sesshomaru

The young youkai was walking along the forest among with Totosai until the stupid old demon decided to give him the slip and now Sesshomaru was on his own to look for the fang his father left him, but he swore oh yes he swore the next time he would see Totosai he would make him pay for doing this to him. The next plan was to look for his fang and quickly go back to what he ordinarily planned with. This was a BIG waste of his time and he was enraged with anything that moved at the very moment.

With Totosai

The old swordsman demon rode his cow safely away from the youkai. It WORKED it actually worked! He was able to give Sesshomaru the slip without his notice! How he was able to do so! He, himself didn't even damn know all he had to know was that it worked! Though he had to make sure he NEVER he meant never cross passes with the youkai ever again he else feel the wrath that would come upon him.

"Totosai! Totosai!" A voice said his name, the old demon looked around the sky and noticed a crow coming towards his way.

"Why if it isn't Myouga!" The old man said, the crow landed right on to the cow's head while the nomi jumped off.

"Did you give Sesshomaru the slip?" The flea demon asked. Totosai glared towards the nomi.

"If I didn't give him the slip then why would I be here flying right at the moment?" The flea narrowed his eyes towards the swordsman.

"Well I was actually surprised you did your job! You hardly do a thing!" Totosai 'humfp' his head to the side as if he was trying to tell Myouga he was offened. "At least we have Sesshomaru side tracked for a while now and Lady Izayoi has a chance to find somewhere else to hide for the moment and since it rained her scent should have washed away with it" The flea demon explained whether or not Totosai was listening at all. "Did you make sure you hid the sword very well so that Sesshomaru has a hard time in finding it?"

"Of course I did!" The swordsman started. "It would take him years to even know where it's at!" Myouga now interested to find out where he placed turned to him.

"Where exactly did you place the sword?"

"That's easy, the easiest place in the whole world that Sesshomaru will never look for" Totosai said now with laughter. Myouga not wanting to be left out of the joke jumped up and down angry.

"Will you tell me already!" The old demon ceased his laughter.

"It's at the old sycamore tree" The flea held an angry mark on his forehead.

"You left it WHERE?"

"Trust me, Sesshomaru will not have it realized until he finds it" The flea demon sighed on how rediclous this was turning up to be.

"Well once Sesshomaru finds it, he'll realize how stupid you were" And with that left said both Totosai and Myouga flew through the sky planning on there next move if they had to.

5 years Later

Inuyasha was outside playing with a red ball that Hizuki got for him.

"Inuyasha!" He heard a cry, the small dog demon turned around to find his mother looking straight at him. The little puppy ran along beside her.

"Yes mommy?" The little demon answered with big, round, yellow bright eyes. Izayoi bent down next to her child and petted him on the head gently.

"And what exactly are you doing hmm?" She questioned him as if she was telling him a secret.

"I'm playing with the ball Aunt Hizuki gave me!" He said with the biggest, brightest, smile he could have ever mustered. Izayoi smiled back and petted him once more. Her child's ears twitted from side to side as his mom petted him finding it that it felt really good.

"Okay now you be careful Inuyasha, you can play for a few more minutes and then it's time for lunch okay?" Lady Izayoi informed her little boy. The little puppy demon nodded his head as he agreed with him mother and ran along with his ball once more. Just then Kanon walked by and almost ran into the little puppy demon.

"Whoa watch it there little Inuyasha, I almost hurt you!" Kanon said as he chuckled watching the boy run after the ball.

"Sorry Uncle Kanon!" Inuyasha waved back as he ran after the object. Kanon's chuckling didn't cease while he walked towards the entrance of the hut.

"I still can't believe it's been five years already" He said as he watched the little pup play, Izayoi nodded in agreeing with him. They both went inside while Inuyasha kicked the ball and bounced through some bushes in the forest.

"Oh darn!" He yelled a little angry and ran through those same bushes to look for his item. As he ran in a little deeper he finally found what he was looking for. "There you are!" He said happily as he laughed for it, though his laughter ceased when he noticed that his ball was held by someone's shoe. The little dog demon stopped and stared at the person right in front of him. He was the most gorgeous man he had ever seen! His hair was sliver as the moon and long as a tree branch, his kimono looked so elegant, as his cristen moon on his forehead actually fit along with everything he was wearing. Who was this man?

A gentl brizz swooshed by as the two stared towards each in such confusion. One with one hard glare and the other with soft innocent eyes.

To be continued!

Darkcherry: So it took you five years to look for you sword?

Sesshomaru: No! I just...who in their right mind put a sword hunged on a sycamore tree?

Darkcherry: Why didn't you think about it?

Seeshomaru: It was the most OBIVIOUS place to put it on!

Darkcherry: Whatever helps you sleep at night...

Sesshomaru: It's not-...never mind.

Darkcherry: Well look at it this way, you get to see your little Inuyasha now! =]
