"Have you no shame. Mating with someone outside of the clan, mating with a human none the less."
"It... it seemed harmless at the time. He was a candidate after all, he passed his trials so far. He was practically accepted by the clan. How were we to know a child would take, if it wasn't for that none would have been the wiser..."
"You didn't think I would find out? You thought you would be able to sneak around without the clan noticing? I am the clan leader and every action both of you have taken up to now undermines that entirely. Your mate has been sent home and banished from the area. He will never be able to find his way back to the village and quite possibly may never remember any of us. The contract scroll has been destroyed, we will never take on another candidate because of the actions you have taken. Now, you'll have to deal with the consequences of... of this!" Kurama gestured towards his daughter's bulging stomach.
"Father, this will be your grandchild one day. Are you really going to disown them because of their father?!"
"Its father is the least of my worries, it's the rest of the clan! How do you think they will react when they find a half breed. A half breed human! No human has been worthy of our respect since I was a kit, not even the few we took into the clan, short lived as they may have been. Will you be the one to explain to your child why they aren't accepted by the others. What you did that made them different? The child may stay, but they will never know of their father. Both of you will be restricted to clan territory for the entirety of your lives!" Kurama stormed out from the cavern leaving Kohaku behind to cry alone. His red eyes shone in the moonlight of the evening as he ventured towards the clan gathering to sort things out with the others. Kohaku may be his daughter, but he had an entire clan looking to him to maintain order.
"Kurama, is it true? Was Kohaku really found in the arms of the candidate?" Questioned a clan mate.
"Yes, unfortunately it was. She is even with child of that filth! Know this..." Kurama announced, addressing entire gathering, "Kohaku is never to leave the clan territory again. The child she currently bears will be a part of this clan. I am forbidding all of you from ever mentioning her father or her human background." Whispers were now rumbling through the crowd. "If I find anyone has let Kohaku or her child out of clan territory, or has spoken a word of her human father or background," Kurama continued, his voice becoming a low growl, "the punishment will be dire."
A silence echoed throughout the clan. Kurama had not been known for his kindness, however, it was surprising he would allow the half breed to live. After his warning Kurama turned and proceeded to return to his cavern in the cliff side.
