My family is a long line of samurai called the Hidatchi Clan. Are clan runs back thousands of years to the time when stone weapons were the most powerful weapons imaginable and steel did not exist. My fathers name is Inutaisho VII and I am Inuyasha.
I was born on December 23,1492. My mother died giving birth to me and I was trained from the time I could walk to be a master swordsman and honorable samurai.
"Come on Inuyasha swordsmanship takes patients and requires cordination which you are not showing much of lately." My older brother Sesshoumaru allways picked on me because I was not very good with handling a sword. I stood back up and got back into stance mumbling,
" Gomenesai Sesshoumaru." He nodded and then swung to the left and I went to block and he knocked my sword up and struck my in the back and I fell on my face.
"If you keep up like this how are you ever going to fight in battle with me?" I shook my head and stood back up. I was tired of all his talk and wanted to teach him a lesson. So I closed my eyes and listened for any sounds and movements. I heard his breathing and then his heart beat accelerate and him swing to the left and I knew where it was going so I blocked it up and then rolled to the left and then struck him in the side. He groaned out of slight pain and I heard clapping from behind me. I turn around and saw my father clapping,
"Goodjob Inuyasha that was a very nice performance you just put on." I smiled and was proud from being praised by my father.I replied back,
"Arigotou oota-san." He nodded and then turned around and went back to the palace.

My brother and me never got along very well but if anything happened we allways had the others back. As the years went on I became a better and better swordsman and I soon surpassed my brother in skill and only at the age of eleven.My life was going perfectly until one night, that horrible and horrific night that I will never forget.

I was asleep in my bedroom when I heard screaming from somewhere down in the village. I ran out the door and looked out to the village. The village was on fire and there was a huge force of men that were slaughtering everyone and everything. I ran to my dad's room and opened his door.
"Father people are attacking the village!" When I looked into the room no one was there and his armor and sword were gone so I ran back to my rome and grabbed my sword. I then ran out of the palace and down to were all the comotion was.
The village was in shambles everything was destroyed or on fire and we were being over run by the opposing force. This was my first reall battle so I was frightened but I did not let that show and when I saw one of the other samurai I charged at him and killed him. I fought for a while until I got to where I saw my father. He and the other war lord were fighting and it seemed the were an even match. I could see my brother fighting over to the left of me and I went out and joined him. We fought together against the enemy for as long as we could but the were to powerful.
'At least we will go down with our honor.' I thought but right then hands came up behind me and threw me into the rapids to the right of are village and the last thing I saw before I passed out was my fathers head on the ground to the left of his body.
