Inu no Vember 5th

Written by Jaken, Hiroyuki

Sick Inu no Taisho

(A story of how InuYasha’s parents met)

The 11th century Kyoto, then called Heian-kyo, was very peaceful.

Heian-kyo was founded in 794CE. The ruling family was powerful and the government was stable without any war, rebellion and invasion for more than 200 years. Human emperors and aristocrats were rich and ordinary folks in the whole country could enjoy peaceful lives.

A demon lord named Inu no Taisho lived in the western part of Japan. He was powerful and actually invincible and no one challenged him so he could also have an unusual peaceful life.

He happened to hear humans’ capital was colorful and beautiful. He decided to try seeing it.

He flew to Heian-kyo and found a palace-like building. It was the biggest building around there. From one of the gates emerged a procession. In its middle, a vehicle led by a cow was surrounded and protected by many servants and samurai.

He thought “Humans are always weak and these guards are nothing to me.”

Then a scent came to him. “Huh? A scent I have never smelled. What is that? This scent is subtle and unknown but so sweet and so noble.” He looked inside the vehicle through the window. He found a woman and stared at the left side of her face. She was beautiful, soft and gentle.

The procession was so slow.

He continuously stared at her.

The procession and the vehicle entered a mansion.

When she was gone, he felt himself somewhat relieved. He couldn’t understand why. He looked around the capital and felt disappointed because it was too small for him. He felt a little tired and decided to go back home.

At that night, when he tried to sleep, he felt uneasy. When he closed his eyes, that woman he met in Heian-kyo always appeared to him and he could feel her scent clearly even then. This was the first time he couldn’t have any sleep all the night.

The dawn broke.

He got up and went out. The sunshine was so bright. He couldn’t open his eyes. The woman appeared again inside his eyes. He sighed and sighed deeply once again.

Myoga suddenly talked to him, “What happened to you, my lord? You look pale.”

“I look pale? The demon lord looks pale?”

“Yes. You look rather poisoned. What happened to you? You aren’t what you were.”

He talked to Myoga about what happened the previous day.

“My lord, it’s called koi wazurai, literally the disease of love.”

“The disease of love? Me?”

“Yes, my lord. It’s said to be deadly. Human emperors and aristocrats suffer and some have died from it.

“Died? Have they died from it?”

“Yes. I hear there is the only solution.”

The next time “A poor poet and a good poem”
