Chapter 1
“Inuyasha!!”
The scream rang through the battlefield as Inuyasha--once again--dodged another tentacle sent to him by the vile creature he had dedicated his life to defeating.
Inuyasha staggered back, his tetsaiga held firmly in his grasp. Pulling upward and over his head with as much force as he could muster, he discreetly remembered feeling a battle cry rip through his throat before he swung and everything was engulfed in white…
~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha sprung up in his bed, gasping in a mix of fear, exhaustion, and pain.
The red silk bed sheets bunched up around his waist as he panted in a desperate need to fill his lungs with air. Sweat streamed down his chest and face, causing clumps of silver hair to stick to his skin. He stopped for a second before breathing in deeply and letting it out slowly, effectively ceasing all panting.
Groggily Inuyasha ran a clawed hand over his matured face trying to rid himself of the memory of his dream. He sat confused for a second, pondering briefly why he was having these strange dreams again.
He hadn't had one in over two-hundred years, and it confused him immensely as to why they were making themselves known in his mind again.
The darkness from the world outside of his room filtered through his blinds, making it known to him exactly what time it was. Deciding to give up for the night and wonder over his findings in the morning, Inuyasha rolled onto his stomach and fell into a fitful sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Laughing could be heard as the pitter-patter of feet was echoed throughout the wooden hallways.
A head of silver smirked a very devilish smirk before she came across a certain wooden door--being as quiet as her father had taught her, she snuck into the dark room making little to no noise.
She spotted her prey lying prone on the bed of red and quickly made up her mind as she charged full speed into it--effectively knocking it off the bed with a grunt of annoyance from the victim.
Giggling like a madman the little girl looked down at the older hanyou she had managed to knock off the bed.
“Uncle Inu-I finally got you!” She exclaimed happily, proud that she had finally managed to sneak up on her unsneakable uncle.
Inuyasha looked up at his niece that had placed herself on his chest in her victory, and managed to let one of his rare smiles slip onto his face.
“I guess you finally did huh squirt?” He asked completely unfazed from the whole ordeal.
Laughing again she nodded vigorously while clapping her hands together to better emphasize her point.
Grabbing the little girl in one arm, Inuyasha pushed himself up off the floor with the other.
“Come on Shiho, your dad will want to see us for breakfast.”
Shiho pouted for a moment before she smiled and nodded in agreement.
Placing the little girl on the floor he quickly shooed her out of his room.
“Let me get dressed and I'll meet you guys down there in a second.”
Shiho nodded, turned and took off down the hallway in a slight jog, her silver tresses dancing in her wake.
“Don't be too long Uncle Inu!” She shouted over her shoulder before turning a corner and disappearing down the corridor.
Inuyasha stared at the empty hallway momentarily before running a hand over his face and walking back into his room, firmly shutting the door behind him.
Looking around the dark spacious room Inuyasha took a second to reflect over his dream from the previous night. He didn't like it at all, it made his stomach queasy at the very thought of the bitter and darker times of his life.
Walking over to the bathroom connected to his room Inuyasha flipped the lights on, wincing when the brightness glared in his sensitive eyes, filling every crevice and crack of the lush bathroom with light.
His bathroom wasn't much different from his bedroom. Red carpets and shower curtains hung from their pole and laid on the floor, partly protecting his feet from the cold granite he found himself having to walk on every morning.
Opening his eyes to mere slits Inuyasha allowed the abused organs to adjust to the light before he opened them fully and stared blankly at his appearance.
His silver hair sat unruly on top of his head, some sticking to his face from the reminiscence of his dream the night before. The purple stripes he'd grown to accept and dismiss rested passively on his cheek bones, reminding him of a time when people would run and scream at the very sight of them while his ears sat alert on the top of his head, taking in every sound subconsciously.
He hated them; the mere sight of the appendages reminded him of how much she loved them.
Just like he loved her.
Inuyasha shook his head vigorously as the depressing thoughts took his mind to a time he wished to desperately forget, but knew he never would.
It was his curse.
Inuyasha growled low in the back of his throat. He would not dwell over such petty things that lay buried in his past. No he wouldn't think of them. It was that dream, he mused silently, that dream was the only reason he was thinking of this now. That's what he told himself, trying desperately to reassure his heart.
Inuyasha gave up on his mind for the moment and turned swiftly, taking large strides to his bathtub, only stopping when he reached his destination.
Turning the cold and hot knobs he found a moderate temperature for his state of mind and pulled on the drain, letting the tub quickly fill.
He watched the water flow from the nozzle not really seeing it, but still none the less watching it. His watched, transfixed, as the water filled the tub, twisting the knobs back to their original position when he felt the water level was at a decent volume.
Standing up he hooked his clawed thumbs into the waist band of his red boxers letting the silky material slide down his waist, allowing them fall to the floor noiselessly. He stepped out of the article and quickly slipped into the warm confines of his tub, letting the memories be washed away by the water and allowed his mind to wander.

Shiho sat at the grand dining table, swinging her legs happily while shoveling her scrambled eggs into her mouth.
Her elder sister came in moments later, humming a new tune that Shiho had never heard. Akina walked elegantly towards her father who sat passively in his chair across from where Shiho sat.
“Good morning Papa,” Akina greeted with a peck on the check; she then moved respectively to the elegant lady who sat beside her father and gave her a peck on the check, repeating her last statement, “Good morning Mama.”
“Good morning pup,” her father greeted in return as her mother smiled sweetly at her, gesturing towards the chair across from her, “Good morning dear, why don't you sit and eat breakfast, we have lots to do after all today.”
Akina nodded towards her parents and proceeded to her `assigned' chair, while still humming the tune as yet unknown to all of them.
Sesshomaru raised an elegant eyebrow at Akina in his silent agitation.
“And what perhaps is it that has caught your attention now pup?” He asked emotionlessly yet still let the curiosity underline his tone.
Akina smiled a fanged smile towards her father, “Its one of Blue's new CD's dad” she said--as if that explained all of their unanswered questions.
Unhappy of not knowing what she was even talking about now, Sesshomaru merely grunted. It seemed that his pup was always getting into the new things, even if he was still catching up from the feudal era.
Well, he mused silently, at least she didn't dye her hair purple this time.
Deciding to change the subject and not further confuse her mate Rin spoke up, her melodic tone gliding through the dining area.
“Dear would you happen to know where your brother is?” She asked.
Shiho spoke before her father had a chance to reply, “He said he'll be right down Mommy.”
Rin smiled at her youngest before nodding and continued eating.
The small silence was interrupted moments later when Inuyasha made his presence known as he entered the room rather noisily before striding over to the table, pulling out a chair and sitting next to Shiho.
Sesshomaru could tell by the way his brother made no motion to look him in the eye that morning that something was bothering him and he decided that later, he would get what was bugging him out.
Inuyasha grunted a good morning to the table before eating his food with surprisingly little to no animosity.
And so the Tasho's day began.

The screams from the crowd were deafening as the people cheered an incoherent chant over and over again. Lights flashed in what seemed like a random order when in all reality it was rehearsed and memorized. A chorus of `Blue! Blue!' could be heard as the lights dimmed, engulfing the crowd in darkness; the audience cheered in approval as many screamed for an encore which echoed in the vicinity. In the end people left and the world tour continued.
A.N I'm new so please do tell if I should continue or not. Ja! ~Mai
