Everyone turned as a Inu Hanyou came into view sniffing the ground as he walked. Everyone knew right away that it was their Lord Inuyasha.

"Go get Lord Inutaisho." the General of the Guards hissed to one of his men. The man ran off at once. "Spread word to just observe the child."

Inuyasha was tired and hungry where had that stupid rabbit got to? He couldn't believe he'd lost it! How weak was he? This stupid game thingy had said he could be a powerful demon if he did what it said.

Tracking-1

Inuyasha finally caught the rabbits scent he saw it. He got low to the ground and snuck forward a bit.

Scent-1

Sense-1

Stealth-1

He pounced on the rabbit killing it with his claws in and instant. He was shocked when the rabbit vanished and was suddenly looking at it's pelt and meat. His mouth watered at the meat and he picked it up with his mouth. There was money too. A little coin. They vanished suddenly.

The Rabbit Pelt and yen have been put in your inventory to get to them say Inventory.

Inuyasha suddenly jumped back eyes wide as he was suddenly looking at three full grown dog demons. He sniffed, his meat still hanging from his mouth, two smelled like pack. He'd smelled one before a long time ago.

"It's okay, Inuyasha." The biggest Dog Demon said, softly. "It's okay. Don't be scared. We wont hurt you." The man knelt down and gently rubbed his hand between Inuyasha's ears. Inuyasha liked that and leaned into the touch. This man was pack! This man was Alpha. Yes, he was safe with Alpha. Alpha would take care of him now. "That's right, Inuyasha. Good."

He picked Inuyasha up and stood himself. Inuyasha looked up at him with big golden eyes.

"Oh, did you catch this and kill it yourself, Inuyasha?" Taisho asked. Knowing the answer he'd seen the boy do it. Inuyasha nodded happily meat still hanging from his mouth. "Well, go ahead and eat it then."

Inuyasha's eyes lit up and he took hold of the meat with hls hand and began eating. It was the first time in a very long time that he'd had meat.

"How old is the hanyou?" Inukimi wondered, looking at her husband.

"He'd be ten now." Taisho said, softly.

"If the Hanyou's mother is dead I am not bringing her back." Sesshomaru informed right up front.

Inuyasha looked at the other and nodded his head.

"Your mother is dead?" Sesshomaru clarified.

Inuyasha nodded tears filling his big golden eyes. He hadn't been able to protect her. He'd been too weak. He'd run when she'd told him too and the demons had chased him but he'd escaped and hidden. After that he'd gone back and found her. He'd buried her and waited at her grave for three days before this Gamer thingy had asked him if he'd wanted to be strong. So strong that he could protect himself and those he loved. He'd said yes and had ended up here. It was confusing. He sniffed the other then jumped to his shoulder and sniffed again.

Jumping-1

He liked this ones smell. Having finished his meat he liked this one's check with his small pink tongue and rubbed against him.

Taisho smiled though he could tell the seemingly emotionless Sesshomaru was annoyed.

"Inuyasha." Inuyasha looked at his Alpha. "I am your father Taisho. That is your brother Sesshomaru and this is Inukimi." Inu jumped to the ground in front of the woman and sniffed her. She smelled nice. He rubbed against her legs then sat and rubbed his head against her leg.

Inukimi watched without any disdain in her at all. This was a puppy a lost puppy who needed help. But then this was also her husbands bastard child. Her motherly instincts won out and she scratched the Hanyou's head between his ears. He gave her a big grin before jumping back on to Sesshomaru's shoulder and rubbing his head against the elder demon's cheek.

"It is annoying me, Father." Sesshomaru finally said.

"Be nice, Sesshomaru." Taisho scolded softly. He scooped the child in to his arm. "Come, Inuyasha, it is time for dinner."

Inuyasha cocked his head to the side. When his mother had said dinner he'd gotten fed a bit. But he'd gone a long time without dinner before the end.


Inuyasha stared at the big table with cushions around it he wondered which one he was supposed to sit on. When he saw Sessho sit he rushed to the pillow next to him and sat on his hunches. If he'd had a tail it would be wagging. He bounced up and down. He was going to get food! He hoped there was meat.

Taisho chuckled a bit as he and Inukimi sat. He motioned to the cook and someone brought out dinner for the four of them. It became clear that Inuyasha didn't have any table manors.

"Inuyasha, why don't you watch how Sesshomaru eats and try to copy him."

Inuyasha did.

Observe-1

Inuyasha tried to copy his Sessho as he ate.

Table Manners-1

Inuyasha was so happy to be full. He yawned and climbed into Sessho's lap. He curled up and was soon fast asleep.

Sesshomaru was shocked and annoyed by the pup's daring.

"It seems he's already taken a liking to you, Sesshomaru." Inukimi teased her son.

"This is rathr annoying." Sesshomaru stated looking at his father whom he'd bought back shortly after the man had been killed.

"He recognizes us as pack." Taisho said more to himself. "I did not think he would."


When Inuyasha woke up the next morning people tried to make him take a bath. He managed to escape them and track Sessho's scent to the older demons room. He got inside and jumped up on the bed. He curled up next to Sesshomaru and pulled his tail around him. He happily fell back to sleep.

The castle was in chaos and the Lord Inutaisho was not pleased. In fact he was furious with the nannies for losing his youngest son.

Sesshomaru was annoyed. Beyond annoyed. Here he was answering his brothers questions about why the little demon needed a bath as he bathed with the brat. Then he had to answer questions about why the little demon needed to brush his hair instead of just running his claws through it. Then it was questions about where his Fire-Rat clothes were. Finally they were both dressed and Sesshomaru was able to go to breakfast.

Everyone watched as Sesshomaru entered the dinning hall with Inuyasha trotting behind him.

"Have you had Inuyasha this entire time, Sesshomaru?" Taisho asked, finally calm.

"This Sesshomaru found him in my bed." Sesshomaru replied, "He said the "Mean Ladies" were trying to drown him. This Sesshomaru has bathed him, brushed his hair, and dressed him."

"Thank you, Sesshomaru." Taisho chuckled then looked down at Inuyasha who had his hand in his mouth and was drooling. He knew the signs of a loose fang. Inuyasha also had hold of Sesshomaru's tail.

They ate breakfast together as a family.
