Scene 53 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Lohana's Workroom

* When Sesshomaru enters the demoness is cleaning off the small patched up body. As he comes over Lohana glances up at him.

Sesshomaru- You have taken it all out?
Lohana- Every piece my eyes could see.. You can heal the body, but it's the mind that will be touchy.

* When Sesshomaru touches the hilt of Tenseiga it begins to hum. Lohana steps back. She looks at Sesshomaru when he raises the sword into position and just remains looking down at Shippo's body.

Lohana- M'Lord?
Sesshomaru- (Quietly) I was just recalling a memory, Lohana... I was remembering how this young one once begged me for the life of another demon's Father...
Lohana- I see... Where is this young one's Father? How did he get caught up in this mess?
Sesshomaru- The only family he knows is recuperating in another room... And asleep in my garden suite... I know nothing more than that at present.

* Sesshomaru's eyes now focus on the body before him. He sees the death imps chaining Shippo. He is about to swing the sword when he feels Myoga's presence coming.

Myoga- M'Lord!
Sesshomaru- Stay back, Flea. I'm about to revive this kit.
Myoga- I had to come... Will Shippo be alright, M'Lord?
Sesshomaru- We shall find out.

* When the room is quiet, Sesshomaru concentrates once more, and deftly makes the swing. Immediately the death imps are dispersed with squeals heard only by the great Inu that wields their destructor. A minute passes, then two. Finally Shippo's body twitches. Lohana moves around to the other side of the table. Shippo's eyes open, but they don't focus on any particular thing or person. Sesshomaru looks at the healer.

Sesshomaru- Is he functioning correctly?

* Lohana uses her special gift to do a deep scan of Shippo's inner workings. When she gives a nod Myoga hops up onto Shippo's chest.

Myoga- Shippo? Shippo, can you hear me?!

* The kit just closes his eyes and slips into unconsciousness.

Lohana- He needs a lot of rest.
Sesshomaru- Make sure that he is comfortable. Do what you can for him, Lohana. Myoga,...

* Myoga looks up as Sesshomaru turns to leave, sheathing Tenseiga.

Sesshomaru- The monk wishes to see Inuyasha. Go escort him to my garden suite. There is nothing more we can do for this boy at present.
Myoga- Yes, Sire. Thank you for doing what you have done.

* Sesshomaru pauses at the door, then looks back over his shoulder.

Sesshomaru- What was Inuyasha's is now also mine... And this Sesshomaru takes care of what is his.

* The Inu sighs.

Sesshomaru- Which unfortunately includes a certain toad that is right now being tormented by my wonderful little monsters.


* Sesshomaru raises a hand to his forehead as he listens to the seven excited yips in his mind.

Sesshomaru- No, Sesshinu.. The toad is not to be eaten... Trust me, Kyouko, he will not taste good at all...

* Myoga can't help but chuckle as the regal Lord leaves, continuing to murmur to his children. The flea then takes a last look at Shippo's calm face and glances up at Lohana.

Lohana- I told Sesshomaru, I'll tell you. We can heal the body, but only he can allow his mind to heal.
Myoga- Hai... If Inuyasha were awake, perhaps he could... help him...
Lohana- You have to go. The boy is resting comfortably.

* Myoga nods and hops away. Lohana pulls a thin blanket up to cover Shippo, then moves away.
