Chapter 1 A New Life and A New Beginning

Lord Inu No Taisho was so worried and scared as his mate was in the birthing room with the doctor. He could hear her moaning and crying in pain as she was giving birth to his son. He hated hearing her in pain. That was the last thing he ever wanted. The doctor then exited the birthing room and walked over to the pacing dog demon.

“Lord Inu No Taisho, congratulations! It’s a boy!” The doctor told him. “Lady Izayoi did wonderfully! She and the baby are doing just fine!”

Inu No Taisho sighed with relief. He was so worried that something would go wrong.
“She is asking to see you. If you would like to just follow me.” The doctor said as he turned to head back into the birthing room. Inu No Taisho nodded and followed the doctor to see his beloved mate and new born son.

When they got into the small room he saw the beautiful Izayoi and the bundle she held in her arms. She had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead and her eyes looked heavy with exhaustion but also proud and joyful. Inu No Taisho rushed to her side.

“Izayoi, how are you doing? Do you need anything?” Inu No Taisho questioned. Izayoi weakly lifted her hand to his cheek and gently caressed it. He closed his eyes and relaxed at her touch. She pulled her hand back to move the blanket from the infants face.

Inu No Taisho opened his eyes to be greeted by a set of tiny molten gold ones. He looked at the small child and was in awe. He couldn’t believe that this was his son. He was so precious and beautiful. He couldn’t believe this infant was Izayoi and his child. He loved this little boy more than words could say and he had only just been born. He had to protect his precious son from the life he had to live every day. He had done a decently good job protecting Izayoi from all the people that were always following him and pressured him all the time.

‘Where can I send them where they will be safe from this awful lifestyle?’ He thought. Then it clicked for him. They could go to Sesshomaru’s castle. No one dares go there unless invited or told to do so. His family would be safe and provided for there.

He stayed in the birthing room with his mate and newborn son. His precious family would never get hurt while he had anything to say about it. He would protect them with his life. Even if that meant he had to stay away from them to do so. It would be hard and painful for him but he would do anything, and he meant anything. For now however, he would just enjoy the bliss with his love over their baby boy.

“What shall we name him my love?” Izayoi asked, looking into his eyes.

“Inuyasha.” He said as he moved the hair from the infants face.

“Inuyasha.” She repeated and lovingly gazed at her baby. “That’s a lovely name.” She then looked to her lover and asked, “Would you like to hold him?” She gently motioned for him to take his son. Inu No Taisho nodded and took the baby for his mate’s arms. “Just make sure to support his head sweetheart.” She reminded him, although she knew he wouldn’t forget.

Inu No Taisho smiled and nodded at her. He looked back to the child in his arms. He was so tiny and fragile. He was half human and half demon. Inu No Taisho knew that this fact would make Inuyasha’s life hard. Many would reject him and he may go through much pain, but he would also go through much happiness. He would make sure of that. Inu No Taisho gave the baby back to Izayoi and wrapped his arms around the two. They all three fell asleep soon after that. The picture perfect happy family.

The next morning, Inu No Taisho woke up before Izayoi. He walked over to the sleeping baby lying in Izayoi’s arms. He gently took him from her, careful not to wake either of them. He cradled the baby close to his chest. He examined the tiny child. He had silver hair and two little dog ears on to top of his head, he knew from yesterday that he had amber colored eyes, he had fangs in his mouth and claws on his hands.

He loved his son more than Inuyasha would ever know. He wanted to spend as much time with him as he could before he sent him away with his mother to Sesshomaru’s castle. He knew that he wouldn’t get to see him very often after that. His heart saddened when he thought about not being in his son’s life much. He hugged Inuyasha close to his heart. Inu No Taisho wanted to cherish this moment with him as long as he lived.

“Good morning, my darling.” Inu No Taisho turned and found a now awake Izayoi smiling at him. She was still slightly weak from the night before.

“Good morning, my love.” He told her. He walked closer to her and she reached out to take Inuyasha from him. He carefully handed him to her and knelt down next to her bed.

“Izayoi, I have to send you and Inuyasha to Sesshomaru’s castle.” He told her as he gently grabbed her hand.

Izayoi gave him a confused and shocked look. “What? Why? I want to stay with you.” She said. Izayoi’s anxiety was building in her chest. Her breathing became labored as she thought about what he meant. “Please, I’ll do anything. Please don’t leave me!” She cried.

Inu No Taisho was in total surprise at her reaction. He never even thought that she would think that was his intention. He hugged his love close to him, careful not to crush Inuyasha that was in her arms. “Shh... Shh... Sweetheart, I’m not leaving you. I would never do anything like that to you. Calm down. It’s okay.” He whispered to her. She slowed her breathing back down to normal.

When she was calm enough, Inu No Taisho let her lay back on her bed. “I only want to make sure you and Inuyasha are safe. Sesshomaru will be able to protect and provide for the both of you.” He told her.

“Okay. Will you come and see us?” She asked. Her heart was slowly braking. She couldn’t stand the thought of not being able to see the love of her life more than one in a while. But she knew he had good intentions and she would do anything to keep her son safe.

“Of course I will come to see you. I want our son to know his father. I’m just not sure how often I will be able to come around. I want to keep Inuyasha a secret from my followers.” He told her.

“Okay. When are we leaving?” Izayoi asked. She never wanted to leave, but if that’s what she had to do for her son, she would.

“Tomorrow morning. I will take you and Inuyasha there.” He told her. He didn’t want her to leave either. He wanted to be the one to protect his family, but he knew that would harm them more than help them. “I’m sorry it has to be like this Izayoi.” He apologized.

Izayoi just smiled at him and cupped his cheek in her hand. “I know. It’s okay. It’s for our son.” She reassured him. Inu No Taisho was happy that she was so understanding, but he was still sad that his son wasn’t going to have the father that he wanted to be for him. He hugged Izayoi and Inuyasha. This was his family. No one could take that away from him.

When he let go of them, Inuyasha yawned and blinked a few times. He looked at Inu No Taisho. He giggled and reached for him. Inu No Taisho smiled and took Inuyasha from Izayoi, who was also smiling at her son. Inu No Taisho held him in one arm and dangled his finger above Inuyasha with the other hand. Inuyasha giggled again and grabbed the finger above him.

Inu No Taisho laughed and began to dance with the infant in his arms. Inuyasha laughed and laughed. Izayoi smiled at the sight of her happy family. For the rest of the day, they continued to bond with one another and enjoy their company.

That night, after Inuyasha fell asleep, Izayoi and Inu No Taisho cuddled on the bed.

“Izayoi, I will miss you more than I could ever tell you.” He told her.

“I’ll miss you too, my love. I wish it didn’t have to be this way.” She replied.

Tears began to fill her eyes. Inu No Taisho smelt the salt and held her closer to his chest.

“It will be okay. I promise.” He told her.

“I know it will.” She said smiling at him. She snuggled into his chest and they fell asleep.
