Chapter 8: And the weight of the world's

One would think it would be awkward to wake up nestled in-between your friend and his mate but it wasn't. They acted as if it were the most natural thing and even more so when Kouga's unborn cub kicked enthusiastically in Ayame's belly which pushed against my own and awaking my own pup who also pushed and moved showing off in the midmorning. Ayame and I couldn't help but laugh at the oddity and hilarity of it all which had woken Kouga up.

He stared at us with our hands on our bellies, watching as a foot pressed here or a hand pressed there and he too found himself chuckling at our wiggling inhabitant's antics.

Ayame and I both struggled to sit up and once we were sitting we began an interesting day.

Koname and Tensen entered our room and neither looked surprised at all to find me in Kouga's bed furs and neither made mention of it. Koname undid the bandages on my ankle and pressed very carefully around my healing bones and I noted the lack of pain as did she. She gently turned it one way and then the next and then moved out of the way and allowed Tensen to do much the same.

“I am surprised to say that you healed quicker than we thought you would,” Tensen said with a grin.

I looked down at my ankle noting that it almost looked perfectly close to what it had looked like before I had found myself in Kiba's cruel hands. I carefully wiggled and moved it and found that they were right and I felt a bit of excitement.

“Not that I want to pry…but how did you sleep last night,” asked Tensen.

As he asked I saw Sesshomaru enter the room and felt myself blush, “whattya mean,” I asked trying not to blush.

Ayame's bustling around the room stopped and she turned to look at us, while Kouga who had been across the room stretching blinked a few times and also turned to look at us.

“He was moaning and shivering so I suggested we move him to our bed furs,” and even as Ayame said it I felt my cheeks heat.

“And…” asked Tensen.

“Mutt face stopped shivering and he fell asleep,” Kouga deadpanned.

“How were you positioned,” asked Koname who now had a look of great interest as she and Tensen seemed to have stumbled across something fascinating.

“He slept between us. We figured it was the best way to keep him warm, kind of like a pup,” answered Ayame who like me was trying to figure out where the odd questioning was leading.

Tensen and Koname both grinned and shared a look over my head.

“I'm thinking he might have healed with your help,” said Tensen.

“When pups or pack members are sick or wounded they heal better when surrounded by other pack members usually because we can share youkai or energy to help in the healing process,” Koname provided.

“So you're saying that InuYasha called out to us like a pup or pack member and us responding and huddling over him allowed him to heal,” asked Kouga.

“That's what I'm thinking,” said Tensen with a smile.

”Would it have worked with Sesshomaru”, and as Ayame asked it Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow in response to the question.

“It's a strong possibility. If InuYasha had been properly mated his mate would have provided the energy and assistance needed to heal but he is unmated and so his body found the next best thing,” Said Tensen as he began jotting all this down in a small bound leather book.

“So we could probably work on his other ankle tonight,” asked Kouga with a look of excitement.

I frowned and stared down at my other ankle which throbbed and ached. I looked up at the assembled group as I waited for someone to speak.

“We could if everyone's in agreement and willing,” said Tensen.

I sighed, “Can we eat first?”

Koname nodded and she and Tensen stood up, “The day just started so lets ready things and then tonight we shall start on the next ankle.”

She and Tensen left deep in discussion which left Ayame, Kouga and Sesshomaru awkwardly starring down at me.

“Well I'll make us some tea and gather something to eat,” and Ayame did just that, busying herself at the small hearth in the middle of the room and I sat there staring at Kouga and Sesshomaru who seemed lost in some quiet conversation within his own mind.

I sat there and felt myself annoyed with the quiet and so I began to quietly scoot myself to the wall on my bottom until I came to the wall where a small stool sat. I pulled myself up onto the stool and sat there catching my breath and giving myself a moment's break. I took a deep breath and pushed my self up and into a standing position, using the wall to lean against.

I wobbled for a moment before a well manicured pale hand appeared under my arm steadying me. I looked up into Sesshomaru's usually emotionless eyes and saw my determination reflected back at me.

I nodded and used his arm to limp a few steps forward until I had made my way the fireplace and was helped into a sitting position.

“Foolish but brave,” said Tensen as he came back into the room smiling down at me with his pale blue eyes.

I blushed a bit but cleared my throat and was thinking up a reply when Tensen spoke again, “He is as you describe Lord Sesshomaru.”

I looked up into Sesshomaru's eyes and watched as his lips twitched at the corners as though perhaps he were hiding a smile.

I was given a cup of tea which I enjoyed with Ayame as she sat and talked with Tensen and Koname, while we sat and talked Kouga returned with a few winter hares and a few squirrels which he skinned and quartered and passed to Ayame. Ayame put a few in a stew pot with some stored vegetables making a delicious winter soup. As the soup cooked she cut the remaining meat up and passed it around. I enjoyed the raw meat and when the soup was served I enjoyed that as well.

With my belly full I watched everyone else eat and enjoy food and friendship and fought the need to doze. I hadn't managed very well as I awoke to snickers. I blinked and wiped my eyes as I fought the sleep that wanted to pull me under once more. Between the cold, the comfort of the fire and the calm and quiet atmosphere and the drain of healing and a growing pup to top it off I was more than ready for a good sleep at a nap at the best.

“I know you're comfortable InuYasha but perhaps we should start tonight's procedure,” and as the words left Tensen's lips I stiffened.

I sighed and shook my self off, “Best to not put it off…”

I muttered the words but I pulled my self together and took Sesshomaru's offered arm and used it to limp my way back over to my furs only to be turned around and steered back over to Kouga and Ayame's furs.

I gave Sesshomaru a questioning look that Kouga answered, “We can't heal you over there. If it worked the first time lets try for a second.”

I found a blush coating my cheeks once more but I nodded and lay down on the furs. Ayame came to sit at my side once more with Kouga at my back and Sesshomaru at my waist. Koname shuffled closer with her supplies in hand and Tensen sat on the stool at my feet and gently lifted my foot into his lap and looked over my ankle with gentle fingers finding the broken bones and the most painful areas as one in the same. I felt Ayame squeeze my hand and I glanced up into her bright green eyes and closed mine as I felt Tensen position his hands.

Tensen pulled and the sounds of my bones cracking were loud in the now quiet room and I choked on the sounds that were forcing themselves from my body. He moved his hands to another sore spot and pulled again and this time he tore an agonized scream from my throat. I lay there gasping thinking it was over and then he twisted and pulled again cracking yet another set of bones and I felt nausea roll through me along with my aggravated pup. I found a bowl pushed before me just in time for me to lose my dinner.

I almost wished for the flashbacks and blacking out to this hellish torture for everyone to witness. I shivered and trembled and when the bowl was taken away I was helped into a laying position. I felt the painful throb of my ankle as the numbing salve was applied and then my ankle was wrapped and splintered and then rewrapped.

I was helped into sitting up just enough so that I could drink the tea offered to me. I drank it down after a few sips and was helped back down into a laying position. I felt Ayame's gentle hands running through my hair and gently petting my ears as I closed my eyes and felt the pain in my ankle all but vanish once more.

To Be Continued…

Sick but I forced my self to finish this chapter. Hopefully I'll have a chapter on Sunday. I have plans to celebrate the new year so Here's to a new chapter in the New Year.
