Scene 64 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Lohana's Workroom

* Miroku shows Inuyasha in as they continue chatting.

Inuyasha- So he just sent them all packing, huh?
Miroku- Not all.. The ones that actually attacked you and the pups have been executed.
Inuyasha- D---, sorry I missed that...

* Lohana turns from placing some jars on a shelf.

Lohana- You again?
Miroku- Lord Inuyasha, here, has come to see Shippo and Kirara.

* Lohana nods her greeting to Inuyasha.

Lohana- Glad to be able to speak with you again, M'Lord.
Inuyasha- Inuyasha.

* Lohana smirks and moves to her desk. She gives a precautionary glare toward Miroku who looks away whistling. Inuyasha rolls his eyes as Lohana bends over to pull the small petbed out from under her desk. When Inuyasha sees Kirara on it he goes over.

Lohana- The precious little thing is still asleep.
Inuyasha- Little now... But you'll need a bigger bed for her when she takes her demon form.

* Lohana looks up at Inuyasha as she strokes Kirara.

Lohana- Will you be keeping her or set her loose?

* Inuyasha shrugs.

Inuyasha- I don't know.. I guess it'll be her decision... Her.. master was killed...
Miroku- I bet Kirara would love very much to hang around the castle.
Inuyasha- My pups would probably chase her to death.

* Inuyasha snorts and looks back down at the two-tailed cat.

Inuyasha- She'll be okay, though. Right?
Lohana- Oh yes. She'll just need lots of rest and food.
Inuyasha- Great. I need to see Shippo. You two can continue doing.. whatever.
Miroku- You want to see him alone, then?
Inuyasha- Yeah.

* Lohana motions toward the curtain off to one side.

Lohana- He's in the room behind that curtain... Enter carefully... His mind is not...
Inuyasha- Just stay out here and trust me, huh?

* Lohana looks up at Miroku who nods.

Lohana- As you wish,..

* Inuyasha glares at her.

Lohana- Inuyasha.
Inuyasha- D--- people are so stuffy around here!

* Inuyasha goes toward the curtain. When he reaches it he pauses, gathers himself, glances back at Mirkou, then enters. Shippo is curled up on the bed in the dark room.

Inuyasha- Oi, Shippo. Are you going to sleep all day, kid?

* Inuyasha moves to the thick curtain that is covering the window and pushes it aside to let the sunshine in.

Inuyasha- Ahh, that's better.

* The hanyou goes over to the bed and sits on the edge. He sees that Shippo's eyes are now open.

Inuyasha- Hey there. Can you sit up and look at me?

* Slowly Shippo sits up, but he doesn't meet Inuyasha's eyes. Gently the hanyou reaches over and gives Shippo a brief knuckle rub. In reaction Shippo raises his arms to try to rub his head. Then he hesitantly looks up at Inuyasha. The half demon watches the kit sniff toward him.

Shippo- (Whispered) I-it's.. really you...?
Inuyasha- Of course it's me... Hey, I'm sorry I couldn't get to see you quicker, but I've been busy having puppies. Then these stupid cats tried to be funny and attack my kids...
Shippo- Well, that wasn't smart... I bet you really showed them...
Inuyasha- Yeah. You get yourself all better cause I got stories like you wouldn't believe.

* Inuyasha watches Shippo reach out to touch his red shirt sleeve. The next thing he knows Shippo crawls up onto his lap and hides his face against his chest. Inuyasha realizes that he must've really been through quite an ordeal. For several moments he quietly embraces Shippo as he listens to Sesshomaru mentally explain everything to him. The more he learns the tighter he holds Shippo. When Sesshomaru's voice quiets once more Inuyasha lowers his head to lay it on Shippo's head.

Inuyasha- Do you remember.. that I went away with Sesshomaru?

* He feels Shippo nod.

Inuyasha- Well, that's where we are now... This is where you'll be staying... Sesshomaru and Kouga have finally killed Naraku once and for all...

* Shippo leans back to look up at Inuyasha wide-eyed.

Shippo- Heart... and all..?
Inuyasha- Yes... Would you like to come see my babies?
Shippo- I bet they all look like Sesshomaru.

* Inuyasha snorts.

Inuyasha- Right now they do.. All but our black pup... Come on..

* Inuyasha stands and lifts Shippo up to place him on his shoulder.

Inuyasha- Get a good grip, now.. I know you're still weak.
Shippo- I will...

* Inuyasha leaves the room. Miroku and Lohana seperate quickly, but the hanyou just continues on his way talking to Shippo about his pups. Miroku smiles when he hears the kit talking back excitedly. He looks at Lohana.

Miroku- I knew he'd be able to get through to Shippo.
Lohana- It'll still be a long recovery for the boy.
Miroku- Yes... Now, where were we?
Lohana- I believe we were on this paragraph here.

* Lohana points back down to the book she is showing Miroku about healing.
