Prologue: 'Him'

"Be safe, my son…" Smiled a lovely human woman with rich deep red silk kimono adorning her short yet voluptuous body.

"Yeah, yeah…quit being such a worry-wart ma…I'll be fine. If anything is to happen dad'll be sure to inform you right away." Said an embarrassed man. He was trying subtly to escape the arms of the woman in front of him…who in their right mind hugged their son in front of an entire army? Gah.

"Stop squirming and hug me!" The woman snapped.

The boy obliged fully without question and quickly hugged the now laughing woman into his chest.

"I love you, Inuyasha…" The woman whispered.

"…" Inuyasha grimaced, looking carefully at the armored men around him, before muttered a low and quick "Loveyoutooma."

That was 3 weeks ago.

Inuyasha was now on the dusty dirt roads heading slowly but surely towards the southern lands. It was by the order on his father, the great Touga, Inu no Taisho of the Western Lands, that they attack the lord of the southern region, Onigumo.

Inuyasha, himself, wasn't exactly sure exactly 'why' they were attacking the bastard in the first place but it was in his best interest to not talk about Onigumo. It was like a plague, to speak of such monstrosity and sordid. If the names Onigumo or Naraku, Onigumo's eldest son, were uttered, the people in the room would become so quiet, you were sure that death itself had set in.

You just didn't talk about him. Inuyasha had been told, in his younger days, that Onigumo was a vile and viscious man who had no mercy for anyone but him and his off spring—which he'd had many of by the way. I f you thought bunnies multiplied disgustingly fast then you can consider Onigumo king of the bunnies.

Inuyasha shivered and had to stifle a laugh that almost escaped at the thought of Onigumo with bunny ears and a fluffy bunny tail—

He'd accidentally let out a snort and was looked at, with raised eye brows of his father and closest companion, Miroku.

"And what, dare I ask, is so amusing on a gloomy day such as this?" Touga-sama asked, his voice deep and booming and sounding glorious to anyone close enough to hear it.

Inuyasha shook his head, closing his eyes; telling his father that it was 'nothing'. "How closer are we?"

Touga stared at his youngest son for a moment before letting out a low chuckle, shaking his head. "Still impatient as ever, Inuyasha. Tell me; do you have any idea how alike you and Sesshoumaru really are?"

Inuyasha sent his father a growl and a glare. "That stupid head and I are nothing alike. He's stupid and an arrogant idiot with his head shoved up his ass."

Miroku quirked an eyebrow. "And I thought we were describing Sesshoumaru…" The monk mumbled to himself—forgetting he was surrounded by demons.

Touga let out a bark of laughter, slightly startling his horse and some of the armored demons around him. "I think he's got you on that one Inuyasha."

Inuyasha growled and lashed a clawed hand at the smirking monk before kicking his horse in the sides; riding far ahead. Touga shook his head and sighed.

"Touga-sama? If I may ask, what is 'He' truly up to? Why is 'He' now sending a threat against us?" Miroku asked, shifted his horse so it was next to his lords.

Touga sighed, knowing who 'He' was. Onigumo, you bastard… "Onigumo—" He began only to pause and glared at the gasping demons, walking on the ground beneath him. "Onigumo has threatened to annihilate the entire western province."

There were a few more grunts and gasps at the startling news.

"But…why now? Why not 200 years ago?" Miroku asked, staring ahead.

Touga was silent for what seemed like minutes, but was in reality only seconds, before he answered.

"He is searching for the Shikon no Tama."

"The Shikon no what-a-hudda?" Inuyasha asked, biting into a loaf of bread given to him by a geisha. They were in the luxurious city of Kyoto—large enough for the grand army of the Inu no Taisho to dine and stay in.

At this moment, Inuyasha, Miroku and Touga, were all in their own private dining room. "The Shikon no Tama. From what legends say, it is a jewel of unimaginable powers. It was created by the greatest miko ever to live, Midoriko." Miroku continued.

Inuyasha shrugged. "Dun know what's so special about some stupid rock." He said, sipping his small cup of sake.

"Onigumo is searching for it and that it why we are attacking the southern province." Miroku said, silently sipping his cup as well.

"What? The fuck does that bunny king want with a frickin' rock?" Inuyasha burst out laughing.

"Bunny what?" Miroku asked, smiling slyly at how his friends laughing face slowly slipped back into his usual scowl.

"Nevermind…" Inuyasha growled. "So you're saying that he wants the jewel? For what? What more could he want?"

Miroku shrugged, suddenly distracted by the group of geisha's that had entered the room through the shoji screens. Behind them, entered the Inu-no-Taisho himself.

"Dad? What does Onigumo want with the Shikon no Baka anyway? What's so special about it anyway?" Inuyasha asked, scowling at the giddy Miroku as he was pampered and entertained by the heavily made up women.

Touga sat himself down and sighed, nodding politely to the geisha that poured him a cup of sake. "He threatened to annihilate the entire western province Inuyasha. And, by the way, it's 'Tama' not 'Baka', baka."

"Keh. Whatever! Just tell me what that frickin' bastard is up to I can go and kick his sorry ass already!" Inuyasha yelled, slapping his palms down onto the low table.

"I will when we have a moment alone. Now is not the time." Touga hissed, sipping his strong rice wine.

Fin.
