Looking at her daughter, Chikara growled, "Ah your FINALLY back!"

Handing her a pile of laundry she sighed, "There, go wash those in the stream and then come back."

Turning on her heal quickly, Nanashi began to walk to the stream nearest the dens. Settling near the cool water bank, she began to scrub diligently at the stained fur pelts.

Little did she notice the inu youkai peering at her from a tree, until she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her lithe waist.

Turning around in his arms, she wrapped her thin arms over his shoulders.

Growling, InuYasha never noticed that the wolf had slipped a black and red rosary around his neck as she wrapped her hands behind his head.

"InuYasha," she purred, pulling her body close to his. Leaning her head against his shoulder, she nibbled on his earlobe, eliciting a low moan.

"Down…" she whispered, taking a step back. Before he knew it, he was plummeting down into the soft, water-side dirt.

Quickly, Nanashi placed a kiss on InuYasha's cheek as she picked up her laundry.

Waving, she smiled, calling out melodiously, "Bye…"

Running back up the mountain side, she ran straight into the strong chest of Kikaru.

"Hello love, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Onegai...Please step out of my way. I must return these to my kaasan." Stepping to the side, she began to pad away softly.

"You're hiding something. Admit it, Nana. You can't hide anything from me. I've known you since we were pups," he growled, jumping in front of her.

Growling, Nanashi shoved the bat-inu to the side. "I said to get the hell out of my way, you bastard!" she snapped, rushing past.

Stepping into her den, she handed Chikara the laundry.

Walking out of the den a few minutes later, she came upon a site she had never dreamed of. Pushing through the crowd, she saw her uncle and his mate standing before the red-clad inu. Kagome had an arrow drawn and notched against her great bow.

Chikara pulled her daughter around, growling, "Where the hell is your necklace Nanashi?"

"Listen InuYasha, leave this den. Kagome does not belong to you." Kouga growled, annoyed.

"I'm not here for her," InuYasha stated, looking for Nanashi in the crowd. Spotting her, he growled, "I'm here for my goddamn mate, Nanashi!"

Chikara grabbed her daughter, sniffing her. Growling, she threw her daughter to the ground. "Tell me you did not give that filthy inbreed the crystal!"

Nodding, Nanashi watched as her mother turned and left her on the ground, defenseless.

Looking up to her father for help, she found none, as he was glaring at her intended and the one who claimed her as his.

"Nanashi is not yours! I laid claim to her years ago. I've been the one her father allowed to court her!" Kiroku ground out, glaring down the half demon that had dared to defy his claim on the wolf demoness.

"Just smell her, you idiot. I've laid my claim for her thoroughly with my scent." InuYasha said, confidently, as his mate began to crawl after her mother, begging for forgiveness she knew she could not receive.

Wrenching the girl off of the ground, caused her to yelp in the process.

Immediately he smelled the hanyou and identified it. Cracking her across her unmarred cheek, cutting her face, he roared, "You BITCH!"

Falling backwards, she fell into soft hands.

Looking up behind her, she gazed into her fathers glaring and enraged eyes which looked down at her. "Don't expect you'll be allowed back into our home. Nanashi." His formality broke her so badly, the princess fell out of his hands as he left her cold upon the floor, broken.

"How dare you touch my fucking mate!" InuYasha growled, going at him with ferocity, claws elongated with his fangs as he lunged at the bastard that hurt his mate after claiming he loved her.

Suddenly, he froze, hearing her whisper, "No…please Inu-Yasha…"

Looking down at the bloody mess at his feet. Growling softly, InuYasha took his heart broken mate from the ground, glaring at him all the while.

Standing back in, Kouga announced, "You have until dusk asatte to pack and leave. Until then you'll stay in a side den."

Picking up his mate as gently as he could, InuYasha ran out of the wolf tribe.

He would return her in the morning to begin to pack her things up. Running as fast as his legs could go, InuYasha searched for the perfect spot, holding her tighter against his chest.

Tonight, he would ease all of her pain away.

Alright. YES her father just disowned her….
