Scene 46 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Two Hours Later

* It doesn't take long for the terrible news to make it's way across Sesshomaru's territory. A few dignitaries make their way to Inubia to offer their condolences, some sincere, others just to assure their Lord that they had no hand in the plot. The only ones Sesshomaru has left orders to be allowed to enter the suite, though, are Lohana and Kouga - when the wolf arrives. Immediately, Lord Sesshomaru had landed in the garden and went straight to Inuyasha's side. He was informed of everything by the healer. She was promptly ordered to go check her library to see if there was any other way to dispell this curse. The Inu Lord desperately wants to shred Tategami. After using Tenseiga to revive Jaken, he hurried into the bedroom. He found Rin asleep on the bed and his pups, all safe, sleeping in their closet den. At present now, Sesshomaru is sitting on the edge of the chais staring at his sleeping mate and berating himself. He notices a tiny movement and looks to watch Myoga hop up onto Inuyasha's chest sadly. The flea quickly falls to his hands and knees.

Myoga-
Oh, M'Lord...
Sesshomaru- He's not dead, Myoga.

* Myoga looks up at Sesshomaru. The Lord looks back at Inuyasha's peaceful face.

Sesshomaru-
He was cursed by one of those cats.
Myoga- Oh please tell me that you didn't kill the cat, Sire!!

* Sesshomaru growls.

Sesshomaru-
Not yet... But the rest of the traitorous felines are being gathered up to be dealt with... I want you to go assist Lohana in finding an alternative cure for this...
Myoga- But there is no..
Sesshomaru- (Growled) Go!

* Myoga hesitates, knows he's risking life and limb in doing so, but speaks anyway.

Myoga-
This isn't your fault, M'Lord...
Sesshomaru- I should have returned with him...
Myoga- It's not a failure to have faith in someone... I'm sure Lord Inuyasha would not blame you.
Sesshomaru- (Quietly) Right now.. he cannot do anything.
Myoga- He must've been busy checking his babies or something...
Sesshomaru- I was told Elder Purfelikage was here.. I will get the whole story from him when I've settled down enough not to rend him through with my poisonous claws.

* Sesshomaru looks down at the flea.

Sesshomaru-
There.. is no other way...?

* Myoga shakes his head sadly.

Myoga-
The curse of a cat can only be removed by the one who placed it.

* Sesshomaru sighs. He recalls the ones Myoga had brought here.

Sesshomaru-
Are you just arriving?
Myoga- Yes.
Sesshomaru- Go tell Lady Lohana that her new priority is seeing to the monk and the kitsune.
Myoga- Hai, M'Lord. The ones bringing them aren't far behind me.

* Myoga looks toward Inuyasha again, then hops away. Sesshomaru leans to brush Inuyasha's bangs away from his eyes. Once more mentally apologizing to him, but knowing he can't hear him.
