Inutakai
*episode 6*

The morning comes, the rain ends, and the silence is broken by a tiny voice. At Myoga’s instructions, Inuyasha digs a grave by the roadside and drags Konpon’s body to it. He can only hope that an itinerant monk will see the grave and take the time to consecrate it in the human way. By the time the boy has completed the task, digging in the mud and carrying the body of someone larger than him, it is noon. Inuyasha sits by the roadside for a long time. Finally, at the flea’s command, he goes and gather’s the belongings which are now his alone. He eats; and he sets out to find a stream in which he can wash the mud from his hands. Several times, Myoga tries to engage the boy in conversation; but eventually he gives up. When the do find a swollen stream, the flea leaves his ward. He is unsure what to do. He knows he must balance the boy’s fragile emotional state with the need for him to move on. This must be the beginning of the boy’s life; not the end. Unfortunately, Myoga has no idea how to help the boy to that understanding. Not for the first time, Myoga curses his master’s form of existence. Not that he had anything against his lord’s mother, the succulent thing that she was; nor is his loyalty in anyway in question. But his job would be so much easier if the boy were a pure blooded demon. The flea is so engaged in his musings that he does not notice that he is no longer alone until someone stops very close behind him. He turns and sees a familiar profile which freezes the blood in his tiny veins. This person stops and glance at the flea with a complete lack of interest; but his very stare is enough to send Myoga running. As the fleeing flea looks back, he realizes with horror that the new comer is headed straight for master Inuyasha. Myoga want’s to go back, to warn his lord, but his survival instinct has taken over and he knows he can’t go back.
