"You want me to look after your wife and child?" Mingye looked at Tōga with an odd expression.
"That's right." Tōga nodded. His death was imminent, and he was deeply worried about Izayoi and Inuyasha's safety.

As for his other wife, Princess Tsukuyomi, she was entirely out of the question. They would be lucky if she did not kill the mother and son with a single blow.

Both, however, followed a path of domination. Someone like
