I don't own Squat
Hatred…
The youth winced as he reappeared miles away, from his enemies. His black hair crackling with energy, he attempts to pull out the arrow and winces in severe pain as it sends a burst of holy energy through his body, before it disappears in a mist of light.
“FUCK!” He screamed as the purity in the arrow threatened to take away his demonic powers, or what little there was of them. Closing his gold eyes in extreme pain as the holy energy soars through his body, he works fast to expel it…
Before it kills him…
Hence he is ill prepared as this time the energy triggers a song long since forgotten…about a couple whose voice that he recognizes belonging to his parents.
Flashback…
“I gave your brother his own lullaby when he was just a little older than you Taro and it is one your father and I sung to celebrate the fact that we adopted him.”
“Papa…singing?” The child gazed up at his mother with a doubtful look. Hearing her laughter, Taro smiles as she pokes fun at her husband who growls from another direction. Wanting to see his father, the little boy tries to turn, but can not as his mother's voice commands his attention once more.
“True son…true…but your father was a much better writer than he was a singer…of course we had to rewrite it a few times because it had like only eight on nine lines. But he didn't care in the slightest, he wanted it to be extra special.”
Scrambling onto her lap, he can smell the sweet flowery scent of jasmine and lilies mixed with the kindness and warmth of her heart. “But you know something…”
“What?”
“This lullaby is special.”
“Why…”
“Your grandmother…your father's mother used to sing this song to your papa when he was a little boy.”
“Really Momma?”
“Yep…and your father taught me it…”
“You did Papa?” The boy says as he manages to turn around. All he can see and hear is the friendly growls that make him reach out and touch the older man's clawed fingers.
“Yeah I did pup…” That friendly voice responded in a gentle growling kind of tone. “Do you want to hear your Mother sing it to you?”
“Can I Momma? Can I hear you sing?”
He can feel the warmth and love rolling off the woman in waves of pleasure. Getting comfortable in her lap, the little boy snuggles deep down as his mother begins to sing…that song. The one happy memory he has left of her…
A little boy plays in the Castle…
A little boy plays in the stream…
Searching for a friend to play with…
A dog comes from his dream…
Silver and white with eyes of gold
The boy has made a friend I'm told…
Running around, playing around…
The little boy has the friend he has found.
A little boy plays in the castle…
A little boy plays in the stream..
But this time the dog comes with the boy…
So together they can make a dream…
Flashback ends…
“Momma…Papa…” He whispers to himself. The pain of not knowing them except for that one song is excruciating…because it is the only happy memory that he has.
Shaking his black hair, the youth growls as he tries to push back that memory far from his mind as the words of his Master steps forward. So that he can focus on his revenge…
…Your parents and brother are dead boy…
…You're lying! They will come and get me! They will!…
…No they won't! Somebody killed them boy! …
…They're not dead! They're not…
Seething in hatred in rage, it turns out that his Master was right. His parents were dead for he spent his next 10 years in hell before he started to believe him. Having become almost feral from all the beatings he had endured from others, simply because he was part human. It took one beating in particular to trigger his dark energy…
Getting harassed for the humanity in his blood, the boy who was now 16 years old had gotten fed up and tired of waiting and believing that his parents would find him. The fragile hope he had in them was destroyed, with the destruction of the one thing left he had of theirs that they had given him.
A teddy bear…
Coming back after searching for some food from which to feed himself, he found the little toy ripped into shreds and spread out across the small cave that he called home. For it was the only thing available to him that people refused to touch…
Until now…
He screamed with such vile hate, that a dark energy surrounded him all of a sudden pulsating in its rage and it s sheer fire…
Then his Master re-emerged…
…Do you want revenge…
…Yes…
…Come with me then…
And he did indeed come, and learned to harness his powers over the years. Stronger and drawing upon the hate that had come and nestled deep in his heart. He looked to his Master who simply watched with a cold expression…
…Who killed them? Who killed my parents?…
…Do you think are ready? The ones who did so are extremely powerful….
…I don't care! I will destroy them…
…Indeed you will…
So his Master had told him the story. The story of Inuyasha the hanyou and the miko Kagome… How they hunted and killed others for the shards of something called the Shikon Jewel, for its power…
He hated them…how he hated them…
His Master had told them on how so many innocent villages were destroyed in their path as they collected these shards. These little pieces of power…are the reason why his parents are dead…
So he destroyed them…
But it was strange though, when he found them and attacked. They just stood there…stupefied…as he directed blasts at them dodging when they only needed to.
Flashback…
“Why won't you fight me!” He screamed. Standing still as he waited for an answer…
“You...smell like my son…the one who was taken from me…” The hanyou stated with hope as his mate, the miko stepped forward. Whispering a name..
“Inuyasha can it be it him…”
“My nose never lies Kagome…” The hanyou replied with a hopeful heart. “We found him…we found our son at last…”
The woman began to smile tears of joy as she looked at him. It made him have second thoughts for the sound of her voice was familiar, and it filled him with warmth.
“Taro, honey it's Momma…”
“You are not my mother! And my name's not TARO! No one can call me by that name except my parents and you killed them!”
“What who told that! We are here Taro! We have been looking all over for you!”
“No! Master Kanaye told me the truth! You killed them! You killed them for the jewel!”
Flashback ends…
After that confrontation he fought that couple many times. Each time they tried to convince him, that he was indeed their Taro and that he was taken from them when he was but a child…
But not once did he believe them…
Not even when their son, an adopted fox demon came to their aid, and tried to stop the youth from killing the couple who he claims had raised them to be brothers…
“I don't have a brother! He's dead!”
“No he's not! I'm right here Taro! It's me, can't you see that! Can't you recognize me! Can't you recognize us!”
Once again in the end it did not matter and the dark energy swarmed to destroy them all where they stood…
He succeeded, the couple had stood there and closed their eyes…murmuring their love for one another and to his surprise expressing it to him as well as the one claiming to be his brother.
“We love you Shippo. And Taro…and we forgive you…”
“Momma, Papa! NO!”
Their deaths much to the youth's surprise came with a price…
That day a part of his soul died…he can feel it still sometimes. A piece of him is missing…but yet it wasn't a part he cared to remember anyway.
It was the part of his soul, that belonged to his childhood…
But it was the fox that started to create trouble for him and his master…
Trying to continuously convince the youth, that they were family as well as stop him from committing the acts of vengeance he did on behalf of the one who saved him. Then that was when the Master devised a plan…
To go back to the past and take out Inuyasha and Kagome when they were young…and that afterwards to let nature take its course.
The fox at that age, according to the stories…would not last long.
And so here he was…in the past fighting a battle against those who would ruin his life. And hating those who would get in his way…
“I will destroy them all…I will have my revenge…”
