'Damn it. This is gonna hurt' was all Kagome got out before all she saw and felt were branches. She let out a small cry as her body finally hit the ground and rolled to a stop against a large tree. She had been too injured to keep flying and now had more injuries thanks to falling from the sky.

She laid there trying to catch her breath. All she wanted to do was sleep and let her injuries heal. She was almost out when she heard twigs snapping. She tensed up putting her nose in the air to smell for intruders. 'Oh no. Why me,' she whined to herself as all she smelled was a man who was a werewolf. She was too weak at the moment if the man decided to attack her. Her body went still as possible and her breathing shallowed out as she tried to make herself seem invisible. The closer the person got, the harder it got to not tense up.

As the man stepped into her small clearing, Kagome could not stop the small whine. He was very large and imposing. She could feel his power around him and she knew that in her current state, she was no match. As the man turned and noticed her, she backed up into the tree as far as she could.

The man stopped a few feet in front of her and held his hands out in a gesture to show he meant no harm. She could feel his eyes wander her injured body curiously. He seemed to notice all of her injuries. He crouched down in front of her and was careful to keep his hands out in a peaceful manner. "It's alright. I am not here to hurt you. This is part of my backyard. I saw you crash. I only want to help you. My name is Richard, let me help you," the man now known as Richard said. Kagome set there and debated on how to answer but knew that if he decided to take her she couldn't do anything. She searched his face thoroughly as he seemed to patiently await her answer. She finally made up her mind and nodded at the male.

Richard moved slowly toward the female so as not to startle her. He had learned caution with Anita but also knew that the young woman was injured and did not know how she got that way. Once he got up to the female he lowered himself to his knees. "I am going to need to pick you up, Kagome. I can treat your injuries back at my house. Are you alright with me picking you up,'' he stated in a gentle voice. When Kagome nodded her assent, she held her hands up to help herself be picked up. Richard was glad she wasn't acting embarrassed or mad about being picked up and was excepting help well. He leaned down wrapping one arm underneath the petite female's legs and the other arm went around the woman's back. As he lifted her up, he couldn't help but catch a whiff of her scent which was nice and also covered in blood. His beast came to the surface and his energy rose. He was shocked when the female let out a long whine and used her nose to run a line up his chin. He quieted his beast and her whining seemed to slow down.

Richard looked down to young woman in his hands and was shocked that she was acting close to a were animal but his energy was not picking her up as one. She did feel differently but she did feel human. She seemed to cuddle into his hold and he could not help but notice how small she was. He would ask his questions while treating her wounds. He wanted to know what she was and how she became injured.
