Hana gasped and went behind him. Wondering what was wrong. Inu narrowed his eyes. He had to keep her safe. There was this strange feeling in side him. Telling him, to protect her more then anything. Even at the cost of his life. He guessed it was an instint that all demons had when it came to protecting a human. He wasn't sure at the moment.

Growling low in his chest, he said "Hana, go to the village and warn everyone. Get Sango and Miroku. Now!" Hana looked at him. Inu could feel her stare. But he also sensed that she was going to listen to him. With that, she let go of his robe and ran. Once he was sure that she was gone. Inu took a deep breath and said "come out demon. I know your there." He almost thought that the demon wasn't going to come out. It was strangly quite. The cut on his cheek stung a bit. Quickly, he wiped his hand over the cut and felt the sting go to his hand. Posion.

Growling lightly, Inu looked up. The scent was closer. And it was starting to piss him off that the demon hadn't shown himself. Growling out he said "come out damn it! I'm sick of you hiding! I know you've been watching me for a while!" Inu was getting more and more pissed with each second that passed. And it wasn't helping his temper any more.

Then, he sensed it. The presents again. Looking into the trees, Inu saw him. A man with long silvery white hair. A flowing elegant kimono. Two swords rested at his hip. Inu could faintly make out the purple stripes on his face. The pointed ears. But, what freaked him out the most was the eyes. Gold like his own. Inu gasped in shock. Quickly getting over his shock, he narrowed his eyes saying "who the fuck are you?"

"Your mouth reminds me of your father's young one." Said the man in a mono tone.

Inu blinked a bit. His wide golden eyes stared at the cold golden eyes. Did this man know his father? And most of all... How did he not mistake him for his father? That's what everyone has been doing. But this man here... He knew that he wasn't his father. What was with that anyway? Shaking his head, Inu stared at the man with his own cold stare as he said "how do you know my father?"

The man walked closer to Inu. Not sure what was going on. Inu started to walk backward. What was with this guy? Inu couldn't sense any aura from this guy. This couldn't be right could it? Could this guy hide his aura from anyone? Was that even possible? No... It just couldn't be. That hasn't happened in his time.

"You have his power. A power that was said that was long forgotten." Said the man with interest in his tone.

"Whoa man. I don't swing that way." Inu said with a scared look on his face. He had to hope that this guy wasn't gay. Sure, he doesn't have anything aganest gays. But, the thought of a gay guy being interested in him kinda freaks him out. (Inu inherited his father's fear of gays being interested in him, cause of Jakotsu)

"Your power... Why do you have it?" The man screamed.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Inu screamed.

Inu didn't understand. Why was this guy freaking out about a power? And, what power was he talking about? Does this man know more about his powers he he himself knew? Inu was backed up into a tree. This wasn't good. This guy was starting to freak him out. What was this guy's problem? Was it something he did? Or was it really about the power that he has?

"Tell me, what power are you talking about?"

"The power to absorbe people's dark aura."

"Wait... I can take away people's bad aura?"

"Yes. But there is a price to pay. The more dark aura you absorbe into yourself. The darker you become. And unless you release that power... Your doomed to lose yourself."

Inu didn't get this. He was some kind of sponge for dark aura. And it could be used into an attack? What's with that? And what's more. This guy still never told him how he knew his father! And that itself was starting to piss him off. Growling, he grabbed his sword and pointed it at the man. Growling as he said "alright. I've listened to you. I've heard a lot of shit in my life. But this takes the cake. And I'll only ask this one more damn time! Who the fuck are you!"

"Sesshoumaru. I'm your uncle."

"Wait... Your my uncle?"

"I am."

Inu felt like his eyes would fall out of their sockets. He had always thought that he only had one uncle. But, then again. His mother never told him anything about his father. So it was possible that his father would have a brother right? Right. Slowly dropping his sword, he stared at Sesshoumaru with a stare. Almost as if he were trying to figure something out about this man. He honestly didn't see any likeness from this man to himself or anything. The only thing that they had in common was the hair and eyes. Well, minus the black streeks in his hair.

Sesshoumaru walked closer to Inu. "That power should have been mine! Why does that half breed of a brother gets a child that has father's power?"

Inu gulped. He could sense this mans anger. And it was so hot. So intense. That it burned his skin. It wasn't darkness. He couldn't get rid of it like he did with Kouga. His breathing was becoming slow. He felt like he was suffacating. He couldn't breath! Inu closed his eyes. Feeling like his lungs were on fire. His heart felt like it would burst from his chest.

Sesshoumaru stood in front of Inu. Smirking. He slashed his claws across Inu's face. Inu fell to the ground. Hissing in pain. Blood poured from the wound. What the hell was wrong with him? What was wrong with this guy? Inu narrowed his eyes at Sesshoumaru. Okay, this guy was his uncle and all, but still! This guy is nuts!

Sesshoumaru charged again. Inu's eyes widened. This guy had super speed! Jumping to his feet, he lept into a tree. Trying to think on what he could do. There had to be something that he could do. But what? What was this guy's weakness? What did he say about his power? Absorbing darkness in people's aura and using it into an attack? Yeah.

He had to focus. But how? If only that voice was there now. But this couldn't work. No matter what. He had to learn to do things on his own. And not with the help of the strange voice in his head. Taking a deep breath, he focused the dark energies that he's absorbed into his body over the years. The aura's of Takai's when he wanted to punch someone. The aura of the guy that threatened Takai. Kouga's and many others. Focusing all of that into his claws.

He could feel the flow of that energy into his claws. Purifying it. Controling it at his will to be nothing but sacred powers. Jumping from the tree he charged at Sesshoumaru. "Sacred Claws!" He shouted. Sesshoumaru jumped back. But that wasn't the end of it. Inu landed on the ground, only to leap forward. "You won't escape!" Inu yelled. His golen eyes glowed blue with the sacred energy that was flowing through him.

Through his body. Through his veins. His heart. And his soul.

Sesshoumaru managed to use his arm to sheild himself. Inu's claws at went through his arm. The pwoer of Inu's attack sent shock waves through his body. Sesshoumaru could sense that he had to knock Inu out. Ot kill him. Either way. He had to do something. Or he'll get killed. Acting quickly, Sesshoumaru grabbed Inu by his throat. Holding him in the air. There was no way that he was going to lose to a child.

"You lose child."

Inu gripped Sesshoumaru's wrist. Hoping to break free. But his struggling was getting weaker and weaker. No air was entering his lungs. Soon, darkness clouded his vision. But, as his mind was shutting down. He felt something. Something warm was flowing through him. Feeling it within his soul. Then, everything went blank.

Sesshoumaru smirked. He had won. He knew that when Inu's body went limp. But there was something wrong. He could sense something new flowing from Inu. But he wasn't sure what it was at the moment. There was just something off. Soon enough, Inu's left hand moved so quickly that it was a blur. His claws dug into his skin. Sesshoumaru growled and dropped.

"Your just as stabborn as your father boy."

"He is Sesshoumaru. But this isn't Inu speaking."

"What?"

Inu rose to his feet. His head hung low. His hair was pure silver. No black streeks at all. When Inu lifted his head, his face had two blue stripes on his cheeks. They made him dangoures. But, it was the look in his eyes that made Sesshoumaru freeze. A certain calm was held within his gaze. There was no desire to fight. No desire to protect himself. Only kindness was held within his eyes. And, wisdom. But, seeing all of those in this young boys gaze... It didn't make sense.

No one, had those eyes since his father... No, it couldn't be...

"Father?"

"Yes Sesshoumaru."

"But... your dead!"

"I am. But was brought back. I live within young Inuyasha. He is destined for great things Sesshoumaru."

"Who would have thought that the great Inutashino would be brought back as a half demon." Sesshoumaru said with a small smile.

Inutashino smiled softly. It's been so long since he had seen his son. But to see him through the eyes of his grandson. That was a treat worth waiting to be reborn. Siging softly, he said "Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha has to be found. His son has to find him. The evil had returned when Inuyasha came through the well."

"What? You don't mean..."

"Yes. Naraku has returned. Inu has to go on a journey to stop him. Many dangers are on the road he must follow. To fulfill his destiny. He must go through many hardships." Inutashino whispered.

Sesshoumaru couldn't believe what he was hearing. His father was brought back. His nephew is his father's reincarnation. And, the young boy has to defeat Naraku? But what would Naraku have to do to be destroyed by a small teen? Okay, he shouldn't say small. Inu was almost as tall as he was. Taking a deep calming breath, Sesshoumaru asked "does he know father?"

"No. Inuyasha doesn't know about me. Neither does his mother or Inuyasha."

"I see..."

"But he must remain alive. He must remain whole. His heart must be protected Sesshoumaru. Remember that."

Sesshoumaru nodded.

Soon, Sesshoumaru smelled humans coming. They must have been Inuyasha's friends. SIghing softly, he turned and started to walk away. Inutashino could faintly hear everyone's cries for Inu. And he couldn't help but smile. Inu had so many friends. So many people that cared about him. If only his son had that when he was growing up. But then again, he was happy for his son. His son, had foundh is love, and had a son... His new life...

"Inu! Where is the demon? Are you okay?"

Inutashino turned around and stared at the slayer. The monk. The fox demon and the girl that he had saved. Inutashino smiled softly. The monk stared at him with shock. He guessed that the monk noticed the markings on his face. Sure, they were also birthmarks for Inu, but that was to be expected when your part human.

Turning his gaze to everyone. Inutashino calmly said "take care of him." Soon enough, the blue marking's on Inu's face disappeared. And he fell toward the ground. Passing out.
