Kit

"Kit, I brought food." Kagome said softly as Kit looked at her like she was stupid. "Eh, I though it might be an idea, guess I was wrong." Kagome said. She put the food down and sat next to the bed.

"I...heard yelling...and...crying..." Kit managed as she coughed up some blood. Kagome looked at her worriedly but Kit smiled.

"Ya, your family is here but I'm the only one allowed in here right now. For the next 3 days to make sure you're okay." Kagome said sadly.

"Oh..ok...so that was...the yelling...but who was...crying?" Kit asked.

"Don't freak on me but...it was Aki." Kagome said smiling Kit laughed but winced as pain racked her body.

"Heh, ya...people don't under...stand her a lot...she told me a lot...that I was...the first to...accept her for...her. Ah." Kit said as she winced at the pain. Kagome smiled softly as Kit groaned.

"Don't worry Kit, the pain will subside after a while." Kagome said.

"How...reassuring." Kit said sarcastically.

"Your starting to sound like Aki now." Kagome dais as she brushed back some of Kit's hair.

"Eh...it's not...really bad.." Kit said as she closed her eyes, her breathing slowed down and Kagome smiled.

"Rest now Kit, I'll come back in later." Kagome said as she left with the food in her hands.

Aki

"Aki, Sesshoumaru went to check with Kagome on how Kit was, he'll be back in a few." Kouga said as Aki nodded. She had stopped crying a while ago, cursing herself for her sow of emotions.

"Kouga, what would you do?" Aki asked suddenly as Kouga held his stomach and sat down.

"Do when?" Kouga asked.

"I mena, what would you do if Kit died?" Aki asked, she was staring out the window and after a few moments silence, she looked to Kouga who was looking at the ground.

"I would die." Kouga muttered as he stared up at Aki. Aki smiled softly and nodded.

"I guess, I would too. Or at least blame myself for her death. Kouga, it wasn't your fault. I promise you that." Aki said as Kouga smiled.

"Ya, I know." Kouga replied.

"Kit's doing well, Kagome said that she's able to talk more in one breath than before." Sesshoumaru said as Aki and Kouga beamed at him, "What did I miss?" Sesshoumaru asked suspiciously.

"Nothing." Aki said with a wink to Kouga who winked back, both were smiling as Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes.

"I WILL TALK TO HIM!" Kero's voice yelled.

"Young prince I request that you not go in t'ere! Aki is trying to take a muc' needed rest! YOUNG PRINCE!" Zala yelled as Kero slammed the door open. Sesshoumaru stood up and took Kero outside.

"LET ME TALK TO HIM DAMMIT!" Kero yelled as Sesshoumaru took him by the arm, leading him away from the room.

"Ugh, can I sleep in here tonight? Atleast then Kit's family can't kill me in my sleep." Kouga asked as Aki sighed.

"I'd rather see you die." She replied sarcastiacly, smiling as she looked out the window. Kouga scowled at her but new that she was saying 'yes' in her own way. Sesshoumru had exploded in Kero's face because of Aki's well-being not getting any better with everyone shouting around her room. Aki laughed in her room, since Sesshoumaru's yelling carried from the whole dother side of the castle.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Next Morning

"Kit? You feel better?" Kagome asked. Kit looked up slightly.

"Yes...I can speak more with one...breath. But not a whole...lot more as you can...see." Kit replied as she smiled at Kagome.

"Well that's good, that means your getting much better." Kagome gave Kit a quick check up and made her eat a piece of toast.

"Tell Aki...that I feel much much better...exagerate a little...could she see me today...or tomorrow?" Kit asked.

"No, I told everyone three days, and now it's only two more. Just relax, after this, two more days." Kagome said as Kit sighed. she looked at the window and was soon asleep. Kagome informed Sesshoumaru how Kit was and Sesshoumaru smiled, knowing it would cheer Aki up. When he told her, Aki tried to dance around, managing to open her wound again and Sesshoumaru re-bandaged it, going behind her again. Kouga was re-building the srength in his abdomens since he was nearly completely healed. When Kagome told him how Kit was he hugged her and ran through the house screaming from joy. Kit eventually heard him and began laughing, with some pain, in her room.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Second Morning

"Please Kagome...can't I walk just a little?" Kit asked. Kagome shook her head.

"One more day of rest after this." Kagome said as Kit hit her head against the pillow.

"I'm gonna turn into this...bed, if I don't get some...excercise." Kit said as Kagome laughed.

"Alright, after tomorrow you can walk." Kagome said.

"That's no different than before!" Kit yelled. "Ow." She murmured as she coughed up blood.

"Relax Kitrika, you'll have plenty of time to excercise after you've healed." Kagome said.

"Ugh, you're so mean." Kit said as she took a shaky breath, her breating had deepened slightly, and the blood had come back to her face more, making her look less sickly. She looked more tan than when her blood had been drained, indicating her blood was circulating some more.She was able to tlak more and her scabs were starting to heal even more.

"I know I'm mean, what do you want me to tell Aki?" Kagome asked as she put the stethoscope back on the table.

"Tell her I'm even better...and I'll be on my feet...in no time at all." Kit answered as she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"Will do." Kagome whispered as she left the room. She let Sesshoumaru know and Sesshoumaru let Aki and Kouga know, making sure Kouga didn't start running around and waking the house again. Aki was beaming so much that everyone thought her mouth would fall off of her face. Sesshoumaru was laughing at the two's antics as they celebrated Kit's health.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Third Morning

"Kit? You up?" Kagome asked as she came in. She looked at the bed and dropped her tray screaming.

"Kagome! What's wrong!" Sesshoumaru asked, he had been passing by and heard Kagome screaming, thinking something had happened to Kit.

"She's gone!" Kagome yelled. Sesshoumaru smelled the hall.

"She didn't go to any other place in the castle." Sesshoumaru said. He ran back to Aki's room and grabbed Kouga.

"What's going on?" Aki asked as Kouga ran to the front door.

"Nothing Aki, go back to sleep." Sesshoumaru said as he closed the door, running to the front door now.

"Bullshit it's nothing." Aki said as she got up.

"AGH! THOSE GOD DAMN BIRD ARE GONNA DIE!" Kouga yelled as he raced towards the birds territory. Aki was following behind with her scent masked, she knew that Kit was in danger now, having smelled her scent on passing plants along with some bird demons and seeing some of her blood on the ground.

"This is what Kagome was afraid of, this is why she wouldn't let Kit get up." Sesshoumaru said as Kouga wiped his eyes, nearly crying from the thought that Kit was dead. Seshoumaru suddenly stopped and whipped around, catching Aki of guard, he caught her around her waist and threw her over his shoulder.

"AGH! HOW THE HELL DID YOU KNOW?" Aki yelled.

"Your bleeding." Kouga answered as Aki looked at her wound.

"Damn." Aki muttered as Sesshoumaru sighed.

"You are the most persitent and stubborn woman I have ever met." Sesshoumaru said.

"Thank you." Aki retaliated.

"That was NOT a compliment." Sesshoumaru growled.

"I know." Aki answered as the bird demons scent got stronger. Sesshoumaru set Aki down as she grabbed his arm for support, "It looks like a maze." Aki muttered.

"And there's the center. Like my fountain." Sesshoumaru said as Aki grinned.

"We'll just go by the top of the trees then." Aki said as Kouga and Sesshoumaru took off first, Aki was keeping good pace but she was slacking off because of her wounds.

"If you bled anymore than your going to give away our position." Sesshoumaru said.

"I didn't bring any extra bandages either." Aki siad mentally slapping herself.

"Nice move moron." Sesshoumaru whispered darkly as Aki glared at him.

"Say it again, see what happens." Aki growled. Sesshoumaru sighed and took off his shirt, making sure his armor covered his vital organs, he took the bandage off of Aki after turning her around, she covered her chest, though Kouga wasn't paying any attention, and soon Sesshoumaru was done. He kept the other shirt in the tree as they took off. And now it was past official, the bird demons were going to die.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Inside the castle

The guards were all dead with one sweep of the three swords. Kouga hadn't said anything since they had entered the land, he looked ready to kill anything and anyone that was in his way. Getting to Kit would be no problem, not in this state, a state of anger for all three as they looked for Kit, they found her in the center of the castle...and to say the least...Kouga was pissed off as all hell.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Tenimaru

"Kitrika, you WILL be my mate." Tenimaru said as Kit snarled at him, blood dripped from the corner of her mouth as she tried to move, finding it nearly impossible from the blood she had lost. Tenimaru looked at her and laughed.

"You'll...never get...away with this...you bastard." Kit managed as blood flew from her mouth as she coughed it up.

"Oh dear, calm down or you'll strain yourself." Tenimaru said as he walked over, he wasn't wearinga shirt and he looked lustful. Kit stared a thim in fear as he drew his mouth to her neck.

"Don't. Touch her." Kouga growled fiercly.

"Kouga." Kit said in relief as Tenimaru brought his face up. He laughed and motioned his hand as several guards attacked at Kouga. Aki and Sesshoumaru immediatly killed them as Kouga walked forward, Tenimaru had lowered his mouth back down to Kit's neck, as Kit closed her eyes bracing herself for pain. Kouga knocked Tenimaru away from Kit and, without thinking, marked her neck. "AAAAHHH!" Kit cried out as the pain washed across her neck and then faded away. Kouga looked at the mark forming on her neck in surprise.

"What did I...do?" Kouga asked himself in surprise, Kit was knocked out from the different pieces of pain rakcing her body and now, Tenimaru was pretty pissed off.

"You took my mate from me...NOW YOU WILL DIE!" Tenimaru yelled as he drew a sword and rushed at Kouga.
