As the glow of Kagome's markings continued to dim the barrier that surrounded the other demoness broke with a slight popping sound. Kagome turned to look at them her eyes flashing brightly once more "Leave now" she hissed. The other females didn't think twice tripping over each other to leave the room and the harsh sting of the miko's purity.

Kagome released Toga and Aoihi's hands and began to walk back over to her pups. She stopped next to Sesshomaru never raising her head to look at him she spoke "If you do not kill the bitch and only let her leave I will hunt her down outside of these lands."

She than continued to walk as if she had never spoken to him at all, Toga and Aoihi were behind her Toga like Kagome stopping at his eldest son's side "I don't know what the bitch has done but the rage that Kagome was feeling was almost enough to overpower my own will and release my beast. Prove to me that you are the alpha and lord I believe you to be Sesshomaru see justice done." With that he too walked past his pup to the rest of his pack.

Sesshomaru looked one more time to the bitch on the floor seeing as she wasn't going anywhere he walked to the pack to see what the woman had done to his pup. Upon approaching he was stopped by a very angry kit sitting next to his pup growling at him, the kits eyes still rimmed with red.

Focusing on his pup seeing as he wasn't going to be able to get any closer to the pack he then saw that Shippo was licking his pup's face where Four slash marks were still very easily seen. A deep vicious growl made its way out of his throat at the thought that the bitch had dared to lay hands on his pup after he had announced her as such.

As he continued to look his pup over he noticed that there was a huge stain on the front of her kimono and her hair had been pulled loose of its pinning and braids. Striking Rin was more than enough to warrant the death of the demoness that had done so but to go so far as to spill what he could now tell was miso soup on her as well as pull her hair from its setting explained why Kagome had said that the bitch had defiled their pup.

Shippo had finished licking Rin's cheek making the claw marks disappear completely when he stood and marched up to stand in front of Sesshomaru. "That woman struck Rin for having demon markings, telling her that she was not worthy of the moon on her forehead and that she would not keep it once you pick a demon as a mate."

Shippo's glare intensified as he turned than pointed to Rin now sitting securely in her mother's arms "She spilt her soup on her and pulled the finery from her hair and informed her that she looked better after she had, like the trash she was" Shippo was now growling.

"You are not an alpha if you would endanger your own pup this way you are no better than Inuyasha, I use to respect you witch is more than I ever gave to that half breed" Shippo felt his aura start to raise again in his anger and without thinking he reached out and pushed Sesshomaru as hard as he could making the big dai take a few steps back. "Never again" the kit shouted at the inu.

Sesshomaru was quickly back in front of the kit ready to hit him for his insults when his hand was caught by a very enraged Toga "You will not strike my pup Sesshomaru, he only said what the rest of us were thinking."

Aoihi was standing in front of Shippo eyes flashing at the dai in front of him, in his hand sat a ball of brilliant blue foxfire that he was all too willing to use by this point. "A kit's words have wounded your pride when it is your own actions that give you more disgrace than his words" Aoihi growl out holding Shippo to his back with his free hand.

Behind the males Kagome had heard and seen enough all she wanted to do was leave this kami forsaken place. "Can we leave now please Toga, Aoihi I just want my pups away from such a hostile place" she asked pleading to both her alphas.

Toga released Sesshomaru's wrist putting an arm around Kagome and grabbing Kohaku's hand and headed for the door. Aoihi sent Shippo after them, but he stayed till the rest of the pack was safely out of the room.

Still standing in front of Sesshomaru he whispered "I will not allow you near my pack so long as you hold to the idles you do now." He looked up to meet Sesshomaru's eyes never once flinching as the inu narrowed his eyes at him.

"Rin is my pack, you cannot keep her from me" he hissed.

Aoihi let out a dark chuckle "You're right I alone cannot keep you from her" he looked to the door than back to the inu "but do you see Kagome letting you near her or any of the pack anytime soon" he said with a small smirk than completely disappeared not even leaving a scent trail.

Sesshomaru growled deeply and clinched his fist drawing blood in is palms, his dark thoughts were interrupted by a groan across the room. A feral look came on to his face as he approached the woman still sitting on the floor.

She was trying to push the hair from her face and it was then that Sesshomaru noticed the burn marks that marred both her hands and face. She was lucky the fox kit had not done more damage to her with as feral as he was when they had entered the room. Sesshomaru was sure that had something to do with Kagome showing up first. He could not see her letting one of her pups kill at such a young age even if it was normal by youki standards.

Sesshomaru stood waiting for the woman to make it to her feet, when she was taking to long for his liking he reached out and pulled her up by the hair. The shock was clear on her face "My lord" she said in a shaky voice.

The smirk was once more on Sesshomaru's face "You dare lay hands on my pup" he sneered at her.

The demoness was now shaking uncontrollably "She was dressed above her station my lord I only sought to set her strait on the matter" her voice quivered out.

A thunderous growl rang out through the room "And what would you know of my pups place bitch?" he growled in her face.

The demoness seeking to appease the lord tried to turn her head to bare her neck in submission but found she couldn't due to his tight grip in her hair still. "I..I'm sorry my lord it was my mistake" she said in a begging tone.

"Yes it was your mistake, one that will cost you your life" he said as if it was not a big deal at all, and to him it was not.

"You will write to your father and tell him what it is you have done here today." The tone of his voice told the demoness that this was not an option she would do it or he would. She nodded as best she could knowing already what would happen to her when it was over.

Sesshomaru flared his aura for one of the guards to come to him, when he did he tossed the female at the others feet "Take her to the dungeon with writing materials and see to it she writes to her father" he spoke curtly to the guard.

The guard nodded sharply and dragged the woman out by her arm quickly. Sesshomaru ran a hand through his hair he had to set this right somehow by the pack or he would not see his pup again for a long while. With that thought he exited the dining room and headed to where the packs room was. It didn't take him long before he was standing outside their door once more, before he could chicken out he knocked on the door.

Toga walked to the door the moment he smelt his son outside of it, a slight growl coming from his chest he slid it open. Aoihi across the room stopped his pacing when he smelt the other dai approaching their room fairly quickly. When Toga opened the door Aoihi growled loudly "You just don't learn, do you?"he bit out.

Sesshomaru shot the fox a glare but addressed the room as a whole, "I will not come any closer fox I wish to check that my pup is ok" he said in an off tone.

Toga taking pity on his own blood pup nodded for Sesshomaru to step in and shut the door softly behind him. Rin as well as the other pups were tucked in tightly to Kagome on the bed, She looked up as Sesshomaru made to take a step to the bed where they were "Don't even think about it Sesshomaru" she growled out in inu.

Once more shocked by the use of his native tongue and the venom in her voice he halted. He looked her right in the eyes and nodded once than set his eyes on Rin "Rin" he said softly. His own pup wouldn't even look up at him and it broke his heart.

"This Sesshomaru is very sorry for what has happened to you my precious little pup" he said his tone even softer. He couldn't undo what Rin went through and because of the rest of the pack he couldn't comfort her either.

He was brought out of his saddening thoughts by the quiet voice of his pup "This Rin wants to leave" she sniffled a little bit than spoke again "This Rin will not be part of Sesshomaru-sama's pack till he sees how much better my mommy is than a demoness" she said looking up to her father figure. Fresh tears came to her eyes at the shocked look on her saviors face "This Rin is sorry Sesshomaru-sama" she said so softly he barely heard it. She once more buried her face in to the front of her mother kimono and let herself cry again.

Sesshomaru stood there shocked beyond anything he could have ever felt. His pup had just denounced him as her alpha and father in front of witnesses by pack law he no longer had any right to her. "I see" slipped past his lips softly, he felt a sudden wetness on his cheek and brought a hand up to touch it.
When he pulled his hand back he recognized it as a tear. He the great Sesshomaru was crying and in front of so many people. Quickly he looked around the room but didn't see any looks of disgust that he thought he would, no all he saw was pity each and every face in the room showed pity for him.

He couldn't take it any longer he walked back to the door opened it and stopped "The demoness that has wronged your pup has been put in the dungeons she is yours to do with as you please." He took a deep shaky breath before he spoke again "This Sesshomaru is sorry for the wrongs brought on to your pack in my humble home. I wish you a safe journey to your next destination." And just like that his form had disappeared from the door frame leaving some very shocked individuals left in the room.

Sesshomaru had left his home after his little speech he could not watch them leave with his pup. His beast was being oddly quiet after his actions to the rest of the pack and Sesshomaru was beginning to worry. Normally it would have taken this chance to beat him up more than he was already beating himself up. Curious as to why his beast was being so quiet he tried to speak to it. "Why do you not take your cheap shots at me now beast?" he asked in a sneer.

His mind was completely quiet he could just barely feel his beast's presence in the back of his mind. Sesshomaru started to panic slightly something was wrong if his beast felt so faint. His thoughts were stopped when he felt his father approaching, he stopped to wait for him and turned to see that his father was almost right on top of him. Now he was sure something was very wrong, how had he not sensed his father till he was almost on top of him?

Toga had left the room shortly behind Sesshomaru following his scent however the further away from the palace he got Toga began to notice that Sesshomaru's youki signature was beginning to weaken quickly and his scent was getting harder to pick up. Toga sped up to catch his son something was wrong with his blood pup.

Coming up on his son he thought it was odd that Sesshomaru had not turned to greet him yet, he was a few steps away when Sesshomaru finally turned with a shocked look on his face. "Sesshomaru are you alright?" Toga asked genuinely worried for his heir.

Sesshomaru's eyes shot to his father "Honestly I don't know" he said in a slightly panicked voice "I cannot make contact with my beast" he said looking to his father for answers.

Toga stopped where he was there was only one answer for what was happening, he himself had gone through it when he took Izayoi as a mate. Suddenly Sesshomaru's eyes flickered red "I warned you fool" was the only warning Sesshomaru got before he felt like he was going to faint.

Sesshomaru looked over to his father the look on his face and in his eyes spoke of his fear. "Dad" he said pleadingly than his eyes rolled back and he fell forward.

Toga quickly reached out and caught his eldest pup in his arms. He watched as his sons markings began to fade and his claws became blunt nails his hair had stayed the same and Toga was sure he retained his eye color as well. However Toga could not sense an ounce of the once limitless youki that his son carried, he let out a sigh and picked his son up. This just made everything a whole lot more complicated than it was.

He couldn't leave his son alone much less in the palace no one could see him like this. Toga shook his head lightly he formed his cloud and flew back to the palace to Sesshomaru's balcony, kicking the door open he was laying his pup down when the door connected to the packs room opened wide. A shocked Aoihi standing in the door "I'm afraid we may have to alter our plans a little bit" Toga said with a sad note to his voice still staring down at his pup.

Aoihi walked in to the room and stared down at a very human looking Sesshomaru, turning his eyes back to Toga he spoke "I should think so" he sighed.
