Inuyasha's Childhood
Chapter one; Prologue
A/N; This is all from Inuyasha's point of view. It is from the time right before his mother died to when he met Kagome.
I held my mother's hand as we walked out into the daylight. I lowered my face to the ground, we had to go through this human village. I knew what they thought of me, of how they feared me, of how they smirked behind their hands as they whispered to one another. How could they treat someone as young as me the way they do? I scowled at the dirty ground as these thoughts passed through my mind. Why did they hate me? Just because I wasn't one or the other, I was treated badly.
I raised my face to look at my mother's. The wind blew her raven hair away from her face, her face looked soft and young. I would remember that sight for the rest my life, I knew that I would. She looked down at me and smiled gently. I forced a grin to my face and turned away.
I could see the noblemen as they stood around, chatting to one another. A memory from a month past surfaced to my mind. I could remember their laughter, their taunts, the ball they threw. I had chased it as the nobleman called me a single word. Half-breed. I had not known then why people treated me the way they did, now I do. I was not human. I had asked Mother what it had meant and she had shed tears. It hurt me to see her crying, even though I didn't understand till she explained. She explained what it meant and I tried to make sense of what she had said.
I looked at the men as we walked into the village to gather food. I looked away and saw a group of children playing. I broke from my mother's grasp and ran to where they sat, playing with a ball.
"Can I play?" I asked, shyly turning my eyes to the ground. I looked back at my mother, and I thought I saw a gleam of hope and happiness shine through her normally sad eyes.
"Sure!" a little girl said as she handed me the ball.
"Yeah, why not?" a boy said, looking at me with a wide grin on his face.
I lightly bounced the ball with as little strength as possible. I passed it to one boy who kicked it to another. That is how the game went for a few minutes. It was fun till a parent came out of the hut to hang clothes for drying.
"GET AWAY FROM THAT THING NOW!!" she shrieked as she pointed a finger towards me. The children scrambled into the hut as the woman grabbed a broom.
I backed up in shock as the woman shrieked at her children to `get away from that thing'. I was a thing? I felt tears welling in my eyes as I watched the woman grabbed the broom. *I'm a thing? * I thought in shock as the woman swung the broom into my side. I didn't feel a thing from her weak swing, but I still ran.
I ran till I came upon the noble house that we called home, I ran into the room that I slept in. I ran to the corner and hid, I covered my ears and closed my eyes. *Maybe when I open my eyes I'll be all human!* I thought to myself. I knew that would never happen. I would always be despised. I wished, with all my heart, that I could be all human and live happily.
I opened my eyes and looked up when I caught the scent of my mother. She was home. I closed my eyes and returned to cowering in the corner. I could feel dark tendrils of hatred snaking it's way through my body. I lifted myself off the floor and left through the front entrance and leapt into the trees. I ran as quickly as my feet would carry me.
I felt as though I was in a daze. I couldn't feel my body, but my senses had grown more acute. I felt as though my teeth were trying to tear themselves free of my gums. Hatred began to fill my body. A voice chanted darkly in my mind, `Kill. Kill. Kill' I felt myself running, but I slipped into a black haze.
"Owww, my head," I said as I sat up. I brought my hand up to my head to massage at my temples to soothe my raging headache. I saw something from the corner of my eyes and looked at my claws. My fingers were darkened in a maroon color. *Oh, please God, don't let that be what I think it is! * I screamed in my head. I sniffed the dark liquid that coated my claws, only to have my suspicions confirmed. Blood coated my claws and ran trails down my forearms.
"I had to knock him out to subdue his instincts," I heard a man's aristocratic voice say. I knew that voice. I slowly lifted myself to my feet and stumbled past the curtains into the other room.
"Se..Sesshomaru!" I cried out as tears began to run down my face. I ran to him and clutched at his leg.
"Inuyasha! Your awake!" my mother's worried voice said as she scooped me into her arms. I held onto her and cried softly. The blood was now all over their clothes too. I jumped down from her arms and backed up, remembering the blood.
"Wha.what did I do?!" I cried out as I looked back at my blood stained hands. I had an overwhelming urge to run. To get away from everybody.
"He lost control over his demon instincts," I heard Sesshomaru mumble in my mother's ear.
She nodded slowly and looked at me with a deep sadness. "Do you think that it could happen again?" He only shrugged and walked out of the house. I watched after him and wanted to leap up and follow my older brother.
