A/N: I'm glad there are some giving this story a chance. True the chapters are short but this is more of a just for fun story for me. I'm going to start skipping through the years faster now but not real fast. So anyway please keep enjoying the story.

Chapter 3

It was almost a year now since InuYasha was saved by the village woman. Turns out she lost her husband and own son during a bandit attack a few months before she saved the little hanyou. She taught him how to fish and hunt. Cooking was hard for him though. But soon he knew the basics. Winter was coming to an end with only a few cold days here and there. And he couldn't wait to see what fun things him and his adopted mother would do on those bright warm days.

The sun had just come up and he was ready to start the day. He stayed in the cave most of the time but came out when she was around. A few times during the hard winter she took him back to the village. But it was hard to sneak him in. He set just at the cave entrance and waited, the warm sun felt great. And one of his ears flicked when he heard a russell in the tree next to the cave. It was only a bird sitting on a tree branch, he watched as it hopped from branch to branch. Then it flew off, but he now wanted to try jumping from branch to branch.

So he took a mighty jump and landed safely on a branch. He smiled this was fun and he felt safe high in the tree. He kept going only missing a few times but caught himself before falling completely. Suddenly from high in the tree a smell came to him. He wasn't sure if he could trust the person or demon he was smelling. So he stayed hidden high in the tree and watched carefully.

Suddenly something brown and furry raced by the tree. He looked down and saw a wolf cub. He soon heard a male voice call out. "Kouga it's time to go my son. We need to finish hunting for the pack." The little wolf pup gave a little howl and then both father and son were off.

"F-father?" He quietly said. He knew his mother, but his father he had no clue. Why wasn't father with his mother all those years? His mother never even talked about his father. Sure she gave him a description of what his father looked like but that was it. What would it feel like to have a father? He wondered.

Suddenly the smell of blood hit his tiny nose. He made his way towards the smell, when soon he realized where the smell was coming from. "The village!" He ran as fast as he could go. But the closer he got the more he smelled blood and burning wood, this was not normal. Then he saw the huge cloud of smoke rising in the air.

And then he knew. His tiny eyes burned with tears looking at the scene before him. The village was gone burned to the ground and every human was dead. He hated his life, now more then ever. Once again he was alone.

He refused to find her the pain was to great, so he simply left. His head low and his heart destroyed he left the area and headed somewhere far from her. Why did his happiness always turn sour in the end?

The bright sunny day had turned to a rainy ugly day. He found a very small cave which only he could squeeze into. He hated life what was the point anymore? He was an out cast to human and demon kind. It was the first time in a long time that he cried himself to sleep.

The morning sun's rays were warm shining through a small hole in the cave. Even though he didn't want to get up his stomach told him it was time. He wasn't really hungry, but after not eating yesterday. I his body told him it was hungry whether the mind was or not.

Not far from the cave a small river flowed. So he caught a few fish, it was easy now. In a matter of seconds he had two huge fish laying on the river bank. Usually he cooked the food but today he just didn't feel like doing extra work. So dispbit the raw taste he ate them.

He finished his fish meal and was about to leave, when a mighty roar caused him to stop. A huge bear demon was towering over him licking it's fangs. He froze! Not knowing what to do next. Should he run, or fight? Not really caring anymore he decided to fight for once, so raising a clawed hand the little hanyou made his first remark. "Keh, come on ugly I ain't got all day."

The bear demon growled and took a swipe at InuYasha's body. But missed when the little hanyou jump out of the way. The bear was now really angry, and swung again. This time he nicked InuYasha's little shoulder, but the little hanyou boy didn't pay the cut any mind. And continued to dodge the bear demons attacks.

He was starting to enjoy this. A smile was now on his face and when he took his next attack his claws glowed a bright yellow. Golden blades cut through the bear demon slicing it to pieces. He looked at the destruction before him and suddenly realized just how strong he really could be.
