A burst of light erupted through the already cheerfully bright surroundings of heaven. Two angel's stopped by the ball of light to observe its swirling, glittery depths.
“ A rookie huh?” the younger angel asked. It had not yet taken on any form, preferring to stay a being of light for the time.
“Barely created I'd say.” This stately figure was more solid and more feminine in appearance. She gave a warm smile toward the new comer that could be felt more than seen. “She's very strong.” The elder remarked as they continued to look into the orbs depths. “Welcome cherub.” She said as both angels walked away cheerful about being able to have seen a bright new light being created.
“Cherub?” The ball of light thought to itself. It sensed its Creator near and decided to gravitate that way to find out more about itself. “Master?”
The Creator smiled at his new creation. A warm loving voice emanated out of him. “ Yes my child, I have been expecting you.”
Feeling more at piece now, the light being began “Who am I? Why was I created? What…?”
The Creator chuckled warmly, “Not so fast, I'll answer all your questions little one. Not to worry.” With that he picked up one hand and as the light being watched, a mist began to swirl above his hand until she was able to see an image of a tall gentleman with streaks of purple across his cheeks and long silver hair that was tied at the nape of his neck. With his other hand, the Creator held his hand over the bright presence. A small flash of light and the orb pulsed slightly.
“Master what was that?” The orb asked.
“I imparted knowledge onto you. You did not know what to make of the image in my hand before. Now look again, and tell me what you feel and know.”
The being of light looked again at the moving image in her master's hand.
“A youkai? A demon but not just any demon, he's a taiyoukai. He's a leader.” The image pulled back to reveal the stately youkai was holding something in his arms, and at his side was a beautiful woman with a soft face and extremely long, raven black hair.
“I feel their happiness.” The orb continued. “Their love for what the taiyoukai is holding.” The image swirled in on the baby in the arms of the loving father. The baby had the beginnings of what would become a beautiful mane of silver hair and as the orb and Creator watched, two little, triangular puppy ears twitched at the top of his head.
The orb gravitated closer to the image of the sleeping baby, drawn by it, almost as if he were calling out to it.
“He's the reason, isn't he? He is why I was created.”
The Creator nodded and looked warmly at the child, sadness in his eyes. “I have made you stronger than I usually do because he will need all the guidance and protection you can give him.”
The orb floated puzzled by this new information. “But why? This family seems so loving and happy.”
The Creator continued to smile down sadly at the image in his hand. “I have foreseen that his parents will be joining us before much longer.” He turned to the glittering orb seriously, “You must be there in his time of need. You may do whatever necessary to keep him happy and safe. Just remember,” at this he looked at the orb sternly. “You will not tamper with anyone's free will or there will be consequences…is that understood?”
“Yes Master.” The orb glowed dimmer with apprehension.
The Creator's face softened once again and he gave a smile that seemed to warm the orb's entire being inside out. `Pure Love' it thought, `that's what that smile is.' The orb savored the warmth of it and memorized the feeling to store away for later.
“ Go then, you have tarried here long enough.” With a wave of his hand the being sent the little orb gravitating quickly toward earth.
Before she left sight of the creator, the orb called back, “Wait! I don't know what I am still, and what form should I take??”
The creator's smile brightened, “You're a guardian angel my sweet one! You'll know what form is best when the time comes! Take good care of your charge!”
With that the orb disappeared amongst the clouds and mist, leaving the Creator to look after it pensively.
“Take good care of him…we may need his help someday.”
The orb entered the room quietly. It look at it's surroundings. Sterile bottles and gloves, many clear box like structures that seemed to be holding… babies? The orb drifted closer and as she did she felt tugged toward a certain one. She gravitated over the sleeping hanyou. The little baby whimpered, tossing and turning, ears twitching and strong little legs kicking its tiny blanket off. The orb touched auras with the baby her blue one against his red. It felt the baby's need for a maternal figure and so elongated her light form and made it more feminine. She then brought forth a beautiful, gentle voice to soothe the child.
“Be still little one… I'm here now.” She reached a hand of light out to touch the baby's head and immediately it quieted and cooed. It opened brilliant gold eyes and seemed to see the luminescent figure before him. The small gold chain around it's neck with his father's fang glowed slightly as he reached out for the being. The being ruffled the little half dog demon's silvery hair, softer than duckling fluff. The baby smiled and twitched it's tiny ears. The light being laughed softly and tweaked the soft little appendages, then pulled the small blanket up and tucked it around the infant. “Rest now little one. You've had quite a day.”
With that baby Inuyasha sighed contentedly and fell into a pleasant sleep.
