Kagome hummed to herself as she picked medicinal herbs, adding them to the wicker basket she carried with rough fingers. Holding the basket gingerly, she gasped as she heard a low growl come from the bushes to the left of her, and approached them with careful feet.

"Hello?" she called, grasping a branch as she pushed them aside, her eyes widening as she found a pure white dog marred with fresh crimson blood. She rushed to the dogs side, setting down the basket next to her as she inspected the deep gash on his back, careful as not to disturb it.

It growled at her once more, baring his fangs to her as red eyes slanted - revealing purple eyes.

"Oh dear, you're badly injured! Hold on - I have some topical ointment that will cure that right up!" She smiled at him, reaching into a bag that rested on her back, picking up a small oyster shell that held green paste inside of it.

The dog looked to her strangely, growling as she applied the ointment to his back. It stung as she applied it, but he could feel it's ointment curing her as she spread it carefully and gingerly onto him.

"There... now to bandage it so the wound won't get dirty." She spoke, ripping her plain yukata at the hem, beforing gently lifting him so that she could wrap it around his waist and over his back. He laid his head down, relaxing as he realized she meant no harm. She smiled at him, putting her hand on his head and patting it gently.

"I'll get you something to eat, so don't you move from here, alright?" She said, standing up to retrieve food for the injured dog.

He was asleep instantly- dreaming of lords and ladies.
