***InuYasha is not mine***
~Creation~
"We are Inugami," she began. "We are Yokai, but we are not the same. We differ from other Demons as a Dog differs from the wolf. The wolf is a natural creature, granted into this world by the kami, wild, free and power unto itself. While the dog, is a creation of man."
"Humans learned that if they subjected their devoted pets…" she closed her eyes, pain twisting her white muzzle. "Their faithful and loyal guardians to a ritual most cruel, the spirit of the dog would rise to serve them and their house. Human's did this, selfishly, to harness the raw power of Yokai for themselves. They felt that where the Dog served them in life, they could continue to serve in death."
"But, as it seems the case with so much that humans touch, there was a flaw in what they created." She sighed again, laying her head against her paw in the melancholy way he was becoming used to seeing. She was fading into sorrow and despair while his Father rose higher on a wave of rage and revenge.
He waited for an answer. Which he knew was foolish. As long as he stayed he was in danger of his father's return. And yet he could not leave, not until he knew the answers she wanted to share.
"Their flaw was that their betrayal of such loyal creatures festered in the soul until it consumed them. We turned on the ones who created us." She spoke of the act as though it weighed heavy on her mind.
This story angered him, Toga recoiled in horror, heart beating wildly with outrage, what vile creatures! But for the horror in her eyes, he stayed his anger, considered her pain.
For several horrified moments, he wondered what he was, for surely he was not Inugami. Would he not be able to recall the pain of betrayal as his parents did?
Her huge amber eyes, wet with unshed tears, looked at him with sorrow. "As the years have moved us on, I have come to see the truth."
He waited for her words; they seemed to stick in her throat, as though they hurt.
"We will all soon go mad with vengeance and betrayal," She stated it plainly, a simple fact, one that she did not shy from.
Toga stood, angered and a bit afraid. "This is my fate? I will one day go mad?!" He felt betrayed by his parents, by who he was, by the humans who played with power beyond their understanding.
"No my child, I do not think you shall." she murmured. "You are from my body, a child born of the natural world, you are firstborn UniYokai, your loyalty is only to yourself and your pack."

***I went online and looked up the lore behind dog demons. They were first known as Inugami, and the manner of their creation was horrid and cruel***
****(exert from the web)Folklore has it that Inugami can be conjured through a complex and cruel ceremony. A common pet dog, the more loyal the better, must be buried up to its neck where only the head remains free. Then, a bowl with food and water must be placed close, but an unreachable distance, before the dog. After several days have passed and as the dog is about to succumb to death, its head must be severed and buried beneath a busy street. After some time, its head and body are to be placed in a well-prepared shrine. Thus, an Inugami is evoked. However, Inugami are also said to be very dangerous to the evoker himself. Blinded by their own rage for revenge, it is often said that an Inugami's evoker may lose control of their own summoned guardian and be killed by it****
