Chapter 7: The loneliness is haunting me

A week had come and gone in the Eastern caves and I had healed nicely under the care and attention I received from those around me. Koname had checked my knees repeatedly and I was told that they had healed nicely and with the lack of pain I was feeling I agreed. My ankles were a different story…

Kouga had sent word to Sesshomaru in the middle of the week at Koname's behest as she asked for his aide in finding a strong healer who could set bones. It wasn't that Koname couldn't set the bones in my ankles; she wasn't strong enough to break them again and though I trusted Kouga and others of the wolf tribe I was glad that she had asked for outside medical help. It had been torturous to have them broken the first time and almost hell to have it repeated a second time so a third time was not something I wanted to revisit but in order to walk again it had to be done.

I was surprised that it took less than a day for a return message that stated he would arrive on the morrow with his own personal physician.

And so here we stand…

I lay on my warm bed furs with Koname and the physician named Tensen. Tensen was a tall individual who equaled in height to my brother, if not a hair taller. He had that was a green so deep that it reminded me of pine needles and eyes that were a pale moonlight blue. His scent like most males was musky but had hints of herbs and spices much like Koname. I figured it must be a healer thing…probably from working so long with so many spices and herbs and plants of various types. His long green locks were in a ponytail which he kept pinned against the back of his head so it was out of the way while he worked.

I watched them both as Koname spoke softly over me and showed him my knees which they prodded and poked and then they moved to my ankles. I looked up and found that Kouga, Ayame and Sesshomaru both stood a short distance away observing the examination. Ayame offered me a warm smile and I was going to return it until a yelp was ripped from my throat as my ankle was lifted and moved in various directions.

I struggled to keep my self still as pain shot in all directions with the movements. When Tensen had finished I was sweating and working on returning my breathing to normal. My left leg shook as they gently set it atop a folded blanket so it was propped up.

“It's a fine mess but I'm pretty certain it can be repaired,” and as he spoke I felt hope and dread both fill me.

I wanted to walk normally again and perhaps even one day run and jump like I had before all of this had happened. The idea of them breaking and resetting it had my stomach in knots. The mere movements were torture I could only imagine the re-breaking…

I felt Koname's delicate hands gently rubbing her mint and juniper ointment on my left ankle and was glad to have the pain numbed. I owed her much as the trembling in my leg lessened with the pain.

It was short lived however as Tensen repeated the same movements on my other ankle. I was able to contain any sounds of pain and when it was over I was more than ready for all of this to be done. Tensen seemed a bit happy after this examination and even turned to look me in the eyes.

“This ankle is a bit better and we won't have to do nearly as much in order to repair it. I have hope that we might have you up and about before your delivery date.”

I offered a nod and sunk back against my furs closing my eyes at some good news.

“When can we start this procedure,” asked Sesshomaru as he came closer to my side.

“If everyone is amiable to it, I can start today. We should start with the left ankle since it will be a quicker break and much easier to heal. There are only two bones that need to be broken and reset and then I can see that they are set. The rest Koname sama can take care of,” Tensen said as he continued eyeing my ankle which had yet been given the tender mercy of Koname's numbing ointment.

All eyes were on me and I realized that the decision was mine and mine alone. I sighed and nodded forcing myself into a bravado I didn't feel, “Let's do it now. Why waste your time.”

I knew I sounded grumpy and moody but if they expected me to be excited about my own torture; even if it was for a greater good, then they crazy.

I watched as Koname left the room and after a few minutes she returned with thick carved branches and clean bandages. Shizuka came behind her with satchels of herbs which she wasted no time steeping in a cup of hot water. I was handed a thick wad of soft leather which I held loosely in my hands in confusion.

“Before we start it'll probably be best if you bite down on that. It'll prevent you from cracking a tooth, biting through your tongue or into your lips or cheeks.”

As Koname said it I knew she was being kind but I couldn't help but sink into the edges of memories. I hadn't had a chance to sink too far thanks to Kouga's hand on my shoulder. I blinked, looking up into her cerulean eyes and then felt a hand on my other hand. I glanced over and saw Ayame's bright green eyes full of determination and hope for me. I was handed a warm cup of tea which I quickly downed.

I sighed and laid back, the leather fisted in my left hand and not in my mouth. I was being stubborn but no one commented on it.

“I need someone to hold his leg still,” and after Tensen spoke I felt Sesshomaru's hands easily pinning my leg down and I was fighting the panicked feeling that wanted me to thrash and fight to get away.

Kouga came behind me and gently pinned my shoulders against him self from where he sat behind me; my body partially pinned against his own. I looked around and made myself see each individual and their face, reminding myself that Kiba and Tobe weren't here and I was safe.

Tensen's hands wrapped around my ankle and I felt his exhale and then I closed my eyes as he twisted and pulled my ankle towards him in a quick motion. The pain was sharp and I felt my body move against both Sesshomaru and Kouga's strong holds on my body. Tensen's hands felt around and then repeated the same twist and pull in the opposite direction and I screamed as the sound of my bones breaking and the pain sent me down into a memory I didn't want.

I saw Tobe's cruel grin from above me as he knelt on my arms, his hands pressing on my chest and then I looked up just in time to see Kiba's club coming down on my ankles and everything went black.

I felt a cold rag on my face gently wiping my eyes of the hot tears that continued falling while someone murmured beside me. I blinked until the last of the tears were shed and my eyes were cleared and I saw Ayame was a rag in hand and worry in those lovely green eyes as she looked down at me. I gave her a small smile which she returned ten fold as she gently pet my head.

“It's all done. We're done for today,” and as she softly whispered such kind things to me I couldn't help but let them calm me into a lulling tiredness. I looked down my body and found my ankle wrapped and then wrapped against the branches to keep my ankle still and straight so that it would heal properly. I closed my eyes as my body throbbed with pain; both emotional and physical.

I reached out and found Ayame's hand and upon finding it I gripped it and gave it a squeeze. I reassured myself she was there and I was safe and she returned the squeeze and I fell into a deep slumber.

Many things filtered through my mind.

Images of my mother sitting on the porch watching me as I stumbled among the many flowers in the garden of some large palace and her beautiful smile that was reflected in the beautiful pools of brown that were her eyes. I fell and sharp pain engulfed my ankle as the younger version of my self sobbed she lifted me into her arms. I found warmth and comfort and another set came around us and held us close and though I couldn't see who they belonged to I knew we were safe and warm.

I awoke with the room covered in darkness and as I lay there I realized I no longer lay on my own bed furs in my small nook. I lay in a pile that was larger and more comfortable. I also realized that I wasn't alone. On my right I was wrapped in Ayame's warm embrace with her arms and I noted the warmth at my back and saw what I knew to be Kouga's arms wrapped around Ayame with me in the middle.

I wiggled and try to remove myself from their embrace but they only squeezed tighter, “Rest mutt, your safe,” Kouga said in sleep roughened voice.

“That's right, you're safe InuYasha. Sleep and heal,” Ayame said and gave a bright smile even in her sleep.

I settled down and allowed their warmth to lull me back to sleep.

To Be Continued ….
