Chapter 1So this idea came up in a conversation about why Sesshomaru hates Inuyasha so much. It came up that maybe Inu no Taisho only was with Izayoi to try and have a female child to try and continue the race and the human weakness may have given a female, which is why he was so serious about going and saving them. But with Inuyasha being born a boy just meant it was all in vain. Inutenshi means dog angel, which is her modern day name- shortened to Tenshi.
Running was all she could do. Her beloved Takemaru had helped her escape, baring no ill will towards the babe she fought so hard to protect. The small bundle was so silent in her arms that she thanked the gods for her good fortune. If she could make it to the village with the famous priestess of power, she and her baby could be safe. She had just taken a rest against a tree to try and capture her breath when a piercing howl interrupted her thoughts and her heart sank deep. If they were already so close then Takemaru was slain; but she would not let his life be in vain. Running with the prayer that her lover's soul would protect her and her child, she saw a ray of hope when she saw the famous Well and sacred tree that lay on the outskirts of the village. Another howl alerted her to the ever present danger coming up on her and she screamed when a sharp tug on the back of her kimono made her fall, twisting her body to protect her baby from the descent. Looking back she met the eyes of a wolf who at the moment was ripping the bottom of her kimono as it wriggled with the fabric in its mouth.
"Careful you idiot! They want the baby alive at least!" The wolf let go and Lady Izayoi crawled as best she could until her back met the base of the well. From the darkness and moonlight came a wolf demon with long black hair in a high ponytail and piercing blue eyes. As he observed her, trapping her in fear with his eyes he let out another long howl. Without even time to blink, two bright light sources. They contorted into the forms of two beautiful men. One was older than the other, with white as silk hair high in a ponytail. He had rich golden eyes that glowed in the moonlight, his chiseled features of his face accented by dark purple jagged markings on his cheeks. His armor was a decored with thick furs and spikes that were over a white kimono, his hakama tucked into his military boots. The younger chose to keep his hair down and the only other difference besides age between the two was that he had two magenta markings per cheek and a dark blue crescent moon on his forehead. To any human, man or woman, they were beautiful gods, but to Izayoi who knew the truth they were monsters.
"No! I won't let you!" She cried out when they appeared, "I will not have my baby forced to the life I had!"
"How dare you, a filthy human try and defy our clan." The young one took a step forward, his face and voice calm but his presence screamed power and rage, enough that the wolves around them whimpered and backed away.
"Sesshomaru." The older one interrupted, putting a calming hand on his son's shoulder, "Lady Izayoi, listen to my words."
"I listened enough," the princess rose up and stared him straight in the eyes, "I listened to your words of love and false promises. I listened and believed you had a heart. But I know the truth behind you lies. This child was planned from the beginning by you and my father." She held the baby close to her and turned her back to them all. The small bundle started to squirm and cry out for milk, but Izayoi simply held the child in a loving embrace, a silent farewell. For all they knew her shaking form and weeping was in fear. They would be right, but not from them; but for the sacrifice and last attempt to keep her baby away from them. It was written that the Well devoured the flesh of dead demons and that that along with being made from the wood of the Sacred Tree gave it the power to transcend time. Things would fly or fall in and never bee seen again, even when you looked down into it a second after the descent. 'Gods take my baby to safety'. Before the approaching men could stop her, she cast the small bundle into the well, listening as her baby's cries disappeared in the darkness, right before she felt the agonizing pain of demonic energy rip through her body. Despite the pain she fell with a smile on her face, knowing her baby would never know the slavery she had in a golden cage.
"Foolish mortal." Sesshomaru snarled as his energy whip sliced through her body. Inu no Taisho ran over to the well and even with his keen eyesight in the night he didn't see his child's body. Snarling down into the magic well he knew better than to try and enter it.
"My Lord," Kouga the wolf demon knelt down with his wolves, "Forgive us. We have failed you."
"No." Sesshomaru walked up to his father and stared him right in the eye with a challenging glare, "he failed himself. And his clan by letting his kindness towards humans cloud his judgement. You should have kept her on a tighter leash father."
"Sesshomaru, do not test me. Not now," the power that radiated off the daiyokai and made the wolves around them flee in fear, their master winced and started to sweat. Sesshomaru kept his stare strong but did step back to let his father walk past. Sesshomaru glared at his father's concubine one last time before following after, anger boiling under his calm visage.
'Inuyasha is lost. And so is our race.'
A baby's cries echoed deep in the shrine, waking the resident keepers. The old priest and his daughter ran into the shrine and looked to see a small bundle wriggling at the bottom. The young woman didnt not hesitate to jump down in much to her father's fear and pick up the crying baby.
"I'll get a ladder! Ladder!"the old man shrieked as he ran to the storage shed. The young woman held the baby in her arms, cooing and talking to it.
"There there little one. You are safe." It hurt her a bit to be holding such a fragile thing, something she had tried and failed to bring into the world herself. The loss of her baby girl due to complications still stung fresh in her mind since it was only a month since it had happened. It then filled her with rage that such a mother would exist that she would throw her baby away. The ladder came down and she was careful to lift herself and the child up.
"Heavens help us. What happened to this poor child?" The old man paused his chanting to see how his daughter stared down at the the baby with a loving smile and it pulled at his heart. He followed her back to the house and helped her undo the bundle to examine the baby for injuries when they both froze. There, on top of her small white haired head, was a pair of what looked like puppy ears. When her eyes opened with curiosity when she realized she could now move her tiny limbs freely, they shined a bright gold like the stars.
"Papa. The heavens sent me a baby." The priest looked to his daughter with shock; she was not as in tune or holy since her baby's death, having lost faith in her despair.
"Indeed. The Higurashi family has been given an angel." The old man in his excitement and happiness went to fix back the crib and baby room he had been dismantling. Meanwhile his daughter held the naked baby to her close, raising her shirt and lowering her bra to lead the hungry child to her breast. The little one latched on perfectly and started to suckle. The young woman teared up as she watched her daughter that had been blessed to her feed successfully, gently stroking one puppy ear and giggling as it twitched under her fingers.
"My little Inutenshi."
