(A/N: Thanks for the review, Neko Oni. ^_^ I'm glad this brightened your day a bit, and yes I'm well aware the link after chapter 18 on my site is broken. It should be fixed soon. ^^;;;; I'm sorry to hear about your family problems and I hope you guys can resolve them. The ending will be up shortly...Hopefully. _
Now! On with the fic!)

Chapter Two: Broken Trust

"Doctor Judy?"
The blonde woman looked up from her desk, hand stopping in mid-motion. "Yes?" she answered in a light alto, wishing to go back to her administration papers.
"The new patient needs his injections."
"Yes? What's your point, Emily?"
The red-headed girl who Judy was addressing blushed. "He....uh, is refusing to co-operate with the vets."
The blonde woman rolled her eyes. Were these vetrinaries incompetent? How much trouble could a half-dead three-year-old neko-jin cause? She stood up, blonde hair swinging forward into her pale blue eyes, across her full, pale face. She pulled the unruly strands back behind the purple bandana that was wound around her forehead. "Watch the front, Emily."
The red-head nodded, big,blue eyes blinking unsurely behind oversized glasses. "Yes, Ma'am."
Judy strode away, hands stuffed into the pockets of her labcoat. She was wearing the coat over a purple business suit. Low-cut purple heels rounded out her attire. They clicked angrily on the tile as she strode down the empty corridor. She opened a door to her left, walking into a small, white room.
Several surprised vets looked up at her, backing away from the table where the squirming child lay, breathing heavily, staring up at her now. He hissed as she drew closer, drawing back. She placed her hand on his head, showing him that she wasn't going to hurt him. Slowly, she stroked his hair, soothing him. He closed his eyes and purred, the sound obscured by the mucus in his airways.
A vet handed her the syringe, filled with a clear liquid medicine. As the child relaxed into her touch, she jabbed the needle into his thigh. He screamed and tried to pull away. "Hold him down."
Instantly, he was restrained. Slowly, she pulled the needle back, handing to one of the vets behind her. Everyone backed away, slightly afraid of the sharp canines that were now displayed angrily. Judy reached for him. "NO!"
He struggled in her grip, not wanting anything more to do with these horrible people. He squirmed, trying to push her away as she drew him close. He blinked as he found his head resting on the crook of her neck. Something strangely familiar about this position comforted him. He nuzzled her neck softly, sighing, finding sudden security in this person. She turned, murmuring something to a nurse, who was standing to the side. 'Hot bath' and 'warm clothes' were mentioned, but it didn't mean anything to his tired ears.
He felt a jolt and bolted awake again, only to find that he was moving without any effort. He glanced at her, noting that SHE was moving. Relaxing, infected eyes began to droop shut, as the drug took effect. Quite suddenly, the neko-jin was asleep in Judy's arms.
