Following his footsteps ( Inuyasha fanfiction)

Fire and a unexpected visitor

Hi guys! I'm not going to say anything! On with the story!!!

Unfortunately, the happiness didn't last long for Izayaoi and Inuyasha. Rumours soon spread around the village, villagers saying to one another that somehow the Inuyasha had managed to survive the fall and had return, and Izayaoi was keeping him hidden.
The men were outraged by this and it was then, on that fateful night where Inuyasha's life would change forever.

The night...

"Tonight, the night we'll destroy the demon child once and for all!" A loud cheer came from crowd of men, "What about the princess? We can't destroy her, she too pretty" said one of the men from crowd, blushing as he spoke, the leader called Goro smiled evilly "You can do whatever you like with Princess Izayaoi" he repiled coollly the man who spoke smiled and bowed his head "Lead us to victory and then we shall feast until dawn" another applause echoed through the crowd. Soon all the men grabbed their spears, stakes and anything else to destroy the child demon who had tainted their village. Goro ordered every men to get a stick from the forest and light it on fire "Why?" asked a young man called Iwao looking at Goro curiously "We're going to set the hut on fire".

Izayaoi woke up to the sound of angry shouts from outside . She wondered for a moment before quietly getting up and looking out of the window to see a huge line of men carrying weapons and waving sticks that were lit on fire, Izayaoi had the right to fear , the men were marching toward their hut!

"Inuyasha, wake up" Izayaoi whispered shaking her slumbering son ,Inuyasha twitched his left ear before rising from his bed, he did a small yawn then looked up into Izayaoi's eyes that were full of fear "what happening mother?"Inuyasha asked confusion clouded his amber eyes wondering why he could scent rolling waves of fear coming off his mother Izayaoi did a quick glance at the hut's entrance, "You know the forest behind this hut?" she said quietly walking hastily, grabbing Inuyasha's arm forcing him to stand up and follow his mother to the window, he nodded in response.

Izayaoi was now crying, tears were rolling down her rosy cheeks,she could feel her heart aching with affliction, she came forward and placed a last kiss on her son's forehead "Be strong Inuyasha, maybe one day you'll become a powerful dog-demon like your father was" Izayaoi wiped the remaining tears that were stinging her eyes, she didn't want Inuyasha to see her cry, a loud demanding voice came from outside the hut's entrance "Hand him over now, Izayaoi" it was Goro's voice.

She gave Inuyasha a glance, never breaking eye contact for a second from her son, who she would only be able to watch over from hell or heaven , Inuyasha's life had been fill with agony and suffering, she silently prayed to the gods to at least give something in his life that would make him happy. With no second thoughts, she picked Inuyasha up quickly before pushing him out of the window, Inuyasha gave her a painful look before running into the safety of the woods. The darkness swallowed him up.

Taking a deep breath, Izayaoi walked over to the hut's entrance, ready to lift the hanging rag curtain when without any warning a bunch of men led by Goro and Iwao second behind came barging in, their gazes scanning every corner of the hut determined to find the child, finally giving up, Goro looked at the princess who was standing there calmly "Don't you think that was a bit rude? Barging into someone personal space without a invite?" she said Goro ignored what Izayaoi said and got straight to the point "Where is he?" Goro demanded never taking his eyes off the human princess, Izayaoi lifted her head and stared back with no fear "Where's who? she replied "You know damn well who we talking about" Iwao said looking a bit irritated, Izayaoi shrugged her shoulders "If I did know where my son was hiding, there no way I'm going to tell you" she said turning away. Goro lurched forward grabbing Izayaoi's silky black hair causing her to fall down but she still held a clam and determinate face 'Stubborn woman' Goro thought now losing his temper, " Tell us where he is! Izayaoi!" Goro angry demand made the men outside shiver with fright.

Izayaoi tasted blood in her mouth as Goro kept constantly beating her painfully . She would never tell this monster where Inuyasha was hiding. Never! Finally realising that he couldn't get anything out of Izayaoi he snatched a small knife from Iwao's hand and stabbed it into her back not caring as she cried out in pain coughing up blood in the process "Come! I'm just wasting my time and breath" he said to the men walking out . Iwao gave Izayaoi a pitiful
look before following the rest.
When all the men were out. With no hesitation, Goro ordered all village men to burn the hut to the ground not caring if Izayaoi died.

"Milord, look I can see orange light at the edge of the forest" Sesshomaru's advisor pointed to where a bright light was but Sesshomaru didn't really care at all, his advisor was worrying over some pathetic incident that was never going to happen ever. He wanted to sneer at the though of flames coming toward the his castle, burning it to the ground 'I must remind myself to get a more suitable advisor '. As the wind blew, the scent of blood made The Lord frown.

"Hey! Goro! We got a strange visitor!" Shouted one of the men pointing to something that was emerging from the forest shadows. Soon a few gasps could be heard as some villagers recognised the visitor straight away along with two guards.

"Well, what a unexpected surprise" Goro laughed nervously "What brings you here to our small village? Lord Sesshomaru?"
