Scene 41 --------------------------------------------------------------- The Garden

* Kouga moves to sit down at the patio table. Rin glances toward him nervously as she helps Sesshomaru situate Inuyasha and the puppies in a patch of sunshine out in the grass.

Rin- (Quietly) Does he.. have to stay here?
Sesshomaru- He and I must talk, Rin.. He will not harm you... But you cannot stay anyway, you have classes. Correct?

* Rin glances down at the sleeping puppies, then nods. She strokes all of them gently then hurries back into the castle through the glass doors. Sesshomaru moves to join Kouga at the table.

Sesshomaru- So you think you can do away with the curse?
Kouga- My Father just happens to be a descendant of that Wolf Priest.. He can discontinue the curse, I believe.

* Kouga glances toward Inuyasha and the pups.

Kouga- Nice batch ya got out of the mutt... I mean, Inuyasha...
Sesshomaru- My brother is stronger than perhaps you give him credit for.
Kouga- Yeah.. Just don't tell him I said that.
Sesshomaru- You will be staying until he wakes, though.

* Kouga shrugs.


Kouga- You're the almighty Lord here.. I guess I'm here until you dismiss me.
Sesshomaru- So you do know protocol.
Kouga- I'm a Prince, too, ya know.

* Sesshomaru nods.

Sesshomaru- Care for refreshments?

* Kouga waves a hand dismissively and looks back toward the pups.

Kouga- I meant to say, that they're a strong, healthy litter.
Sesshomaru- Yes. Although I did have to use my Tenseiga to bring him and one of the pups back during the birthing.

* Kouga nods.

Kouga- That sword's pretty handy to have... So I take it you didn't tell Inuyasha about this curse.

* Sesshomaru shakes his head.

Sesshomaru- To be honest, I truly don't believe in it, myself.

* Kouga looks up at Sesshomaru.Kouga- Hey, there's two tribes of demons that you don't piss around with when it comes to curses... Wolves.. and Cats... H---, you even lost both your parents if I understood...
Sesshomaru- My Mother's death was actually an accident during the war with Ryukotsusei... Or so we believed... The guard with him that day was.. a cat...
Kouga- Starting to smell a rat?
Sesshomaru- I'll deal with that later... My first priority is to get this mess with Naraku finished... We will discuss that when Inuyasha wakes...
Kouga- How long is he usually out?
Sesshomaru- A couple hours.


* Sesshomaru stands.

Sesshomaru- Make yourself comfortable. I am going to go meditate. It has been a trying morning.

* Kouga watches the demon Lord go back inside the suite. He stands and goes over to look down at the hanyou and his pups a moment. Then he moves to sit on the bench to watch the Koi in the pond. He feels the urge to try to catch one, but then he decides against it, 'Stick-up-His-A-- probably has them numbered'. Kouga looks around the vast garden then over his shoulder toward the grand castle behind him, 'D--- nice set-up he has here...' The wolf Prince yawns, stretches, and decides to catch up on his morning sleep. He stretches out on the bench.
