CHAPTER 3: ROAMING THE WESTERN LANDS
That night, the gray clouds gather around the lands, and it begins to rain. Up in the mountains, is a cave. Deep inside is Totosai making a drawing on the wall. He draws a figure with the silver hair, and pointy ears on tops on. Mumbling, he picks up a bowl of red ink and laughs, "Inuyasha, you'll be a great king like your father.
A few years later, Inuyasha grew up to be a kid in a red kimono, and red hakama pants, with a cream white color undershirt under the kimono, with a red obi tied around his waist. His hair is silver down the bottom of his back, with two look liked pigtails on each side of the face down to the top of his chest. His bangs are over his forehead. His eyes are golden, like his father. He has two little fangs in his mouth, and claws on his hands. He runs to the edge of the castle viewing the western lands before the sunrise. He runs backs to his parents'," Dad, dad, we have to go get up." He cheered. Inutaishou and Izayoi are still asleep. "Your son is awake." Izayoi said still half asleep. "Before sun rises, his your son." Inutaishou replies. Inuyasha shakes Inutaishou a couple of times. Had enough of it he screams right into his ear, "You promised me. Now get up!" Inutaishou opens his eyes, "Okay, Okay. I'm up." He yawns, Izayoi follows suit. The trio comes outside; Inuyasha follows his father, while Izayoi patted him on the back, smiling at them.
The sun rises over the mountains, "Look, Inuyasha. Everything the light touches is our kingdom." Inutaishou said. "Wow" Inuyasha said. "As a king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day Inuyasha, the sun set my time here, and will rise with you as the new king." Inutaishou resumes. "And this will be mine?" Inuyasha asks looking all over the area. "Everything." His father corrected. "What about that shadowy place?" Inuyasha asks as he points to it. "That's beyond our borders. You must never go there, Inuyasha." Inutaishou warned. "But I thought a king can do whatever they want." Inuyasha said. "There's more to be king than getting your way all the time." Inutaishou as they leave the castle.
Walking through the meadows, Inutaishou resumes his lecture, "Everything you see exist together in a delicate balance. As king we need to understand that balance, and respect the creatures, from the crawling ant to the leaping deer." Inuyasha looks confused, "But dad, do we hunt the deer?" Inutaishou leads him to a great view of the surrounding area, "yes Inuyasha, let me explain. When we die our bodies become the grass, and the deer eat the grass. So we are connected to the great circle of life."
"Good Morning, Your Majesty." Said Myoga hopping onto a rock in front of Inuyasha, and Inutaishou. "Good Morning, Myoga." Inutaishou responses kindly. "My, look you, lord Inuyasha." Myoga said looking at the kid. "Your majesty, your son definitely looks like his mother, but still has your hair, eyes, fangs, and claws." Myoga complimented. "He sure does." Inutaishou picking Inuyasha into his arms. "Anything to report to me, Myoga?" Inutaishou asks. Myoga nods, "Plenty." Inutaishou puts Inuyasha down. While Myoga talks with Inutaishou, A little rabbit comes out of the ground in front of Inuyasha. Inuyasha smiles trying to catch it. While Myoga keeps on talking, Inutaishou turns to Inuyasha, "What are you doing, son?" The rabbit jumps out of the way before Inuyasha catches it, "Pouncing." Inuyasha response rubbing his head. Inutaishou leans down to him "Let a pro show you how it's done." He grins. Myoga continues on talking, "Myoga would you turn around?" Inutaishou asks the flea. "Off course, sire." Myoga said turning around, "By the way what you doing?" He asks. Inuyasha response, "I'm gonna pounce on you." Myoga widen his eyes, "Sire you can't be serious…" Inutaishou gave him a glare, and twirls his fingers singling to turn around. "Stay low to the ground, don't make a sound, sneak up to him…" he whispers, "GO!" he said. Inuyasha pounces on Myoga, while Inutaishou laughs. Inuyasha gets off of Myoga, and walks to his father, "That's very good." Inutaishou said with a smirk. A mole demon comes out of the ground behind Myoga, "Sir, news from the underground." He said. Inutaishou was about to teach Inuyasha another move, "Sire, Naraku's demons are in the western lands." Inutaishou runs off, "Myoga, take Inuyasha home." He demands. "Dad, can on, let me go with you?" Inuyasha pleads. "No." Inutaishou said running to where Naraku's demons are. "I never get to go anywhere." He scoffs. "Oh young master, one day when you're king, you can kick those slobbering stupid poachers from dawn to dusk." Myoga assures him as they head back to the castle.
