I forgot to add I do not own anything Inuyasha.

The Yōkai Child

The beginning part three

The village that sat right under Inuyasha forest was a quite one. They were a simple little village that now only had a simple shrine maiden Kaede. It had been twenty years ago that Inuyasha had managed to get himself pinned to the Goshinboku in the first place. By his lover Kikyo after trying to steal the Shikon Jewel.

Now only low-level yokai that the village could handle ever came around anymore. But to-night on the full moon something bigger had come to the village. It smashed through the huts like they where nothing as it attacked anything that moved. It howled loudly as it did the villagers led by Kaede shot at it with bows and spears. But their attacks seem useless as it looked down at them and growled.

"Only a miracle could save us now." she said under her breath as she looked on at the damage. Louder she yell, "Get all the children, elders, wounded and women as far out of the village as you can." The men who fallowed her did as order as they dodged the sharp teeth that threatened to tear them to pieces.

Suddenly there was another yokai that showed up. Kaede fell to her knees, they were all dead. But the giant yokai turned its attention to the silver-haired man. Kaede mused he reminded her a lot of Inuyasha. Except he was cool and calm as he fought the giant dog yokai. Than suddenly it was over as soon as it began the yokai howled in pain. Than it was gone, replaced with a child's body that lay unmoving bleeding from four scratches along her face. Black hair lay covering her face from view, as the silver-haired man just stood over her. Kaede frowned but stayed away as she had the last wound man made it out of the village.

A small green toad carrying a staff with two heads appared. He had tears in his eyes as he stood before the man.

"Lord Sesshomaru you okay." Jaken cried happily, even after all this time the toad still have a hard time with him fighting.

"Hn." was all the reply he got. He looked down at the girl and seen the scratches he had left. No normal yokai could live after tasting his Poison Claw attack. And already the wound was starting to heal. Jaken looked down at the Black Inu who cause so much destruction.

"Tiny." he thought but said it out loud instead. Sesshomaru glared at him as he too admitted in his mind she was tiny.
