InuTaishou laid his head in his hands. How could this have happened? He had hoped that being around the girl constantly would make the heat more bearable. He had hoped that his son would have grown such a protective streak in his system that it would protect the girl from having to bear the full extent of a male youkai's heat. He had hoped against hope. And his darling pups had paid the price. He had known when he first saw the girl, barely three months, that she was made for his son. Even at that age, she had an effect on his eldest, and InuTaishou knew he had to keep her, to keep her safe, to allow her to grow up in a privaleged house. But it was all for not. The young. bright, lovely pup barely of eighteen years, was broken. When he had laid eyes on the girl, he was shocked. So shocked that he didnt realize he had thrown his son accross the room. He didnt realize his eyes had gone red. And he didnt realize that he had dragged the naked boy down the halls into his own study before using his poison whip on him. It wasnt until his son was bowing before him, showing his neck in the way a beta should, that InuTaishou finally came to his senses. He eventually talked it all through, and sent Jaken to retrive Sesshoumaru's robes. "InuTaishou-sama?" He looked up to see the palace healer, Shinya, standing in the door. "Yes Shinya?" The young youkai looked forlorn as she relayed the news to her lord. "The pup's forearms were rubbed raw, and suffured many fracturs. Her chest and abdominal areas were burned, but they look to be healing, and do not appear to be infected. Her hip bones were chipped, most likely from lengthened claws digging into to them..." She paused, before going on. "She most likely will not be able to have children, at least not without much difficulty....And, mi'lord....She is pupped. She carries a litter of four." She bowed before leaving. The western lord stared in shock. Pupped? And with a full litter? He rubbed at his temples, trying to keep the oncoming headache at bay. 'If she's pupped, then the father will need to be around to ensure that the pups do not injure their mother inside teh womb...Oh Kami....help us all.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Pain. That had been the first sensory thought that went through her body when she awoke. She couldn't move, and she could barely breathe. She took in a slightly unfamiliar scent. "Kagome-sama, relax. My name is Shinya, and I am to be healing you. You were badly injured, and need my help. I will help you bathe later on, and dress you as well. Now, mi'lady, I'm going to have to move your arm. You may feel pain, but if it doesnt get moved it might heal incorrectly, okay?" The beautiful voice went away, and in its place came hot searing pain. Her eyes burst open, then quickly shut as colors blinded her fragile vision. Soon the pain went away, leaving only the memory behind. "Now, Kagome-sama, I know this may be hard, painful even, but I need to know, do you remember what happened to you?" Shinya spoke in a low, soothing tone, rubbing out the kinks and bunched up muscles in Kagome's shoulders. All of a sudden she was thrown back into the memories, and tears came to her eyes. "Sssh, sssh, ssh, mi'lady. It's ok. I understand what happened. But you need to know mi'lady, that it is not altogether his fault. His heat was upon him, and the smell of yours enticed his beast out. However, he should have taken the measures to keep you as safe as possible from him. You would not know to keep away from an unmated male in his time of rut. You are just a pup..." She stroked the soft hair of her lady, wishing she could cry tears of her own. Kagome shifted her head slightly, and looked up at her caretaker. She was breathless. She was beautiful. Her hair was short and a very light pink. Her eyes were deep black, with sky blue lining them. "Now, let's go get you a bath, mi'lady. I will have someone bring you breakfast." Shinya lifted Kagome effortlessly, and carried her to the connecting bathroom. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----"Sesshoumaru-sama!!" Rin smiled brightly at the lone figure in the garden. She was worried. Her sister hadnt been seen for two days. Surely Sesshoumaru would know where she was! "Sesshoumaru-sama, do you know where Ane-chan is?" She completely missed the winced that went all throughout her lord's body, nor did she see the pained look in his normally stoic eyes. "This Sesshoumaru beleives that your ane is sick, Rin. She is in her rooms, and is not to be disturbed." He took notice of the small frown that had placed itself on the child's face. "May Rin-chan walk with you, Sesshoumaru-sama?" The question was so quiet, that even he had to strain to hear it. He gave her a hn, and began to walk slowly down the garden path, knowing she was following along
