Scene 44 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Inubia

* When Inuyasha arrives at the gate he is relieved to find the guards on duty to be reptilian type demons. The two guards recognize Inuyasha and greet him respectfully as they move aside. Completely on impulse Inuyasha draws out Tetsuseiga and points it at the two surprised guards.

Inuyasha- Answer me.. Where do your loyalties lie? If you lie I will know!
Guard #1- We serve our Lord Sesshomaru!
Guard #2- And you, Lord Inuyasha!

* The first guard quickly nods his agreement. When Tetsuseiga returns to its original rusty self it kinda surprises Inuyasha. He quickly gathers himself and sheathes it.

Inuyasha- So the dragon clan isn't in league with the d--- cats?
Guard #1- Cats?

* Inuyasha, being closer now mentally hears more clearly when his pups become even more distressed.

Inuyasha- Come with me!! My pups are being threatened!

* The guards barely glance at each other, then draw their own swords, and follow the hanyou. When they reach the hall that leads to the garden suite they hear Rin scream then a bunch of growling and hissing. As Inuyasha reaches the blasted-open door he finds Sesshomaru's brother-in-law facing off against half a dozen cat demons.

Purfelikage- I won't allow you to do this!

* Before anymore fighting can be done Inuyasha leaps between them and where Rin has gathered his crying puppies. The hanyou now sees the two halves of Jaken laying near the alcove. The cats growl as they recover from the surprise of Inuyasha's arrival. The guards have them covered by now, though.

Inuyasha- I should rip you all to pieces with my bare claws!!

* He looks toward the two guards.

Inuyasha- Place them all under arrest! Lord Sesshomaru will deal with them.

* One of the guards moves toward the resonant stone to call for more guards. Inuyasha turns worriedly to check his babies that Rin has huddled together. Suddenly, the leader of the traitorous band breaks loose and charges Inuyasha. Purfelikage spins.

Purfelikage- M'Lord!!

* Inuyasha turns, but the cat is already upon him. Before he can react to pull his own sword the cat demon digs his claws into both sides of Inuyasha's neck.

Tategami- I curse you to sleep for a thousand years!!

* Inuyasha screams as searing heat shoots down both sides of his neck and courses throughout his body. The room is flooded with more reptillian guards. Tategami is soon yanked off of the stricken hanyou. Purfelikage hurries to Inuyasha, but he is already sinking to his knees. The last things Inuyasha hears is the order for all the traitors to be placed in the dungeon and the call to get Lohana. Rin screams again when Inuyasha slumps unconscious in Purfelikage's arms. The two dragon Elders arrive just as one of the guards orders Purfelikage to move away from Inuyasha. They survey the commotion as the band of cats are secured.

Sephirai- What is going on here?!
Radiyu- I thought Lord Sesshomaru ordered every cat soldier to the siege of Naraku's castle?

* The guard in charge moves to salute the Elders.

Naoko- These aren't soldiers, they're from the village... One of them has attacked Lord Inuyasha.

* Purfelikage shoves the guard trying to remove him.

Purfelikage- Get your hands off of me! I'm an Elder!

* Sephirai and Radiyu hurry over.

Radiyu- Pur, what have you...?
Purfelikage- I didn't do this...

* The Elder cat motions toward the prisoners.

Purfelikage- Detain Tategami, but keep him alive at all costs!!
Tategami- You call us traitors..? You are the traitor, Purfelikage!! We will be under these dogs' thumbs for eternity if we don't kill those...!!
Naoko- Get them out of here!! You heard the Elder, keep that one alive.

* Tategami is quickly restrained by a couple of the reptilian guards in a cocoon-like netting. The group is then escorted out to be taken to the prison.

Purfelikage- Where is Lohana??

* Rin continues to scream. Radiyu clamps his hands over his ears as he glares at her.

Radiyu- Rin!! -- Stop that infernal squawling, human!!
Rin- Please don't let Lord Inuyasha die!

* Sephirai moves to touch Rin's shoulder.

Sephirai- He won't die, Rin. Please, gather up the young ones and put them in the bedroom so they'll calm down.

* They all watch the puppies hurry to where Inuyasha is laying and begin to nudge him and lick his face. Rin gets the basket and gathers them all into it. As Lohana arrives Naoko helps Rin carry the basket into the bedroom.

Lohana- What has happened here?

* She hurries to Inuyasha.

Purfelikage- Lords Sesshomaru and Inuyasha went to take care of Naraku... A band of cats from the village got in here somehow.

* Naoko comes back out.

Naoko- From what I understand, Lord Inuyasha's intuition must have told him the pups were in danger...
Sephirai- Someone needs to go for Lord Sesshomaru!
Naoko- Everything is secure here. I will go.


* As the arian guard sprouts his wings and takes off through the opened glass doors Lohana checks Inuyasha. Radiyu moves to look at Jaken's halves.

Sephirai- Don't move him. Lord Sesshomaru will probably use the sword to revive the imp again, brother.

Radiyu- Yes, of course he will.. (Mumbled) Unfortunately..
Lohana- These scratches are deep.
Purfelikage- He was cursed by Tategami.

* Lohana looks up at the cat Elder.

Lohana- What was the curse?
Purfelikage- A thousand years of sleep, M'Lady.
Lohana- Oh s---.... The sword won't change a cat's curse...
Purfelikage- No. Only the cat that placed the curse.. can remove it...
Lohana- Lord Sesshomaru must be made aware of this... All we can do for now is treat these scratches and make sure that traitor regrets the day he was born until he repeals this...

* The healer takes a jar of cream out of a pocket and begins to treat the scratches on Inuyasha's neck.

Sephirai- Radiyu, you and I should greet Lord Sesshomaru at the door.
Radiyu- Yes.

* The two dragon Elders leave. Purfelikage helps Lohana move Inuyasha up onto the chais. She looks at the Elder.

Lohana- You should return to your quarters.
Pufelikage- I had nothing to do with them. I happened to see the band sneaking through the servants' quarters... Somebody had left them in through the kitchen... I came here on my own intuition. I arrived just as they were taking the imp out...
Lohana- I'm sure this will be investigated completely... Don't be surprised if you end up being the last of your clan.

* Lohana shakes her head.

Lohana- I'll be sure that Lord Sesshomaru knows of your bravery, Elder Purfelikage.

* The old cat nods and leaves the suite.
