"InuYasha? INUYASHA WHERE ARE YOU?" Nanashi cried out, as she padded through the forest in search for her mate.

It had been over two hours and he had yet to come out from her frantic calling. She couldn't pick up on his scent, so she knew he must be masking it from her.

She could feel her chest contract, as she realized she had hurt him with that thought. Although she did not know what she had done, she knew she had hurt him deeply, and she was determined to make her apologies known, even if her mate did not except them from her.

Finally breaking down near a hot spring, she collapsed upon a smooth rock on the bank of the hot water. "Alright InuYasha. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Just please come down here so we can talk about whatever I have done to upset you so!"

Sitting down on the rock, she curled into herself as she began to bawl her eyes out, much like the young child she was.

InuYasha dropped down from the tall sakura tree he had been standing in, hidden within its branches, upon hearing the choked sob erupt from his mate.

Quickly he rushed to her side, as he squatted down to face her at her eyelevel, when he noticed she hadn't acknowledged him yet.

Reaching forward, the hanyou pulled Nanashi into his lap, as he began to rock her back and forth, praying that he could sooth her pain and settle her down before she did herself some serious damage; mentally or physically.

She couldn't take all this stress. Her father, her mother, her pack even hated her, maybe even despised her and now, so did her mate.

"I didn't ask for this!" Nanashi cried against his chest. "Just leave me alone, let me die! There's no one in this world whom still remains that can love me!"

Pushing out of InuYasha's embrace, she stood on two shaky feet, and took a few steps, before falling to the ground, as the pain erupted twice as strong, sending seizures through out her small body.

InuYasha didn't know what to do. He reached out quickly as he saw her start to descend, as her body began to shoot spasms through her, shaking her body heavily.

Standing with his mate in his arms, InuYasha took off to go to the wolf dens. Maybe there someone might be able to help him and his mate.

Kagome ran as fast as she could out of Yume's den, as she went in search of her mate, and then to go to find the elders, whom would help deliver the young and care for the sick or dying.

Finding her mate in his daily stationary position of sitting in the back of the den, Kagome stopped abruptly, sliding to a stop in front of her mate.

Quickly she excused herself as she looked up frantically. "Kouga, it's Yume. She sent me to request your presence and the elders."

Panting, Kagome met his eyes, as she noticed his eyes flash purple slightly, as he stood.

"Kagome, go find Yume's mate and then bring him to their den. I will retrieve the elders and we shall meet you there."

Nodding, Kagome took off for the front of the cave. She had to find Ichigo soon. His mate was about to give birth.

Chikara heard a sharp cry, as she walked slowly towards Shiori's room. Turning quickly, she rushed towards her youngest sister's room, and popped her head in to take a peak.

"Yume? Shiori? Are you…?"

Upon seeing her sister's huddled in a corner, she dropped her armor and furs, as she rushed to comfort her hurting sister.

Reaching forward as she hit her knees, she felt her head, and found it to be feverish. Reaching into her wraps, she pulled out a bottle of a pain-killing potion.

Even though it would not completely take away her pain, it should dull it some and remove her high fever to a low grade one.

Biting the cork out of the bottle with her mouth, she poured the potion down her sister's throat, as she went to go collect some fresh water and sheets.

They would be needing them for the birthing.

Ok. For those of you whom don't understand, Nanashi is young. So young in fact that she should've probably waited to mate until 50-100 more years to mate. True, her body has matured enough to reproduce, but her mental state is not quite matured to be able to fully have a mate and children. So basically, being pushed this quickly is becoming too much for her, hence what happened to her.

Also, Nanashi is an only child, so far, which is why Chikara's so protective of her. And why Kuro's tried to fix everything in her life so she doesn't have to do anything.

Anyway. Thank you for reading, review and I shall love you forever!
