Several hours later-

After having dealt with Higurashi and dumped his useless pile of bones on the front steps of the local police station- and after shortly thereafter dealing with the officers that had come to their home to question them about the man, his injuries and Kagome- Sesshomaru was still in a little bit of a snit after being denied the pleasure of killing the insect in human flesh.

But his father had been nice enough to let him play with him a little bit after he was finished using the blow torch on the tip of his dick and both of his nipples, and at least two fingers on each of his hands.

And though Sesshomaru had at least had the pleasure of branding the man with his acid claws as the monster that he was- his father seemed to be displeased by the fact that he had taken things 'too far' with his actions.

All he had done was carve the words RAPIST and CHILD RAPIST into his forehead and torso.

If he had had his way, he would have removed the bastards cock with his acid claws.

Still...Sesshomaru had to give his sire credit for how he had dealt with the human scum and the officers that had come to visit them shortly thereafter. When they had questioned them about the onna, his father had pulled out her adoption papers which had already been signed by Higurashi along with a termination of parental right's form, all of which were dated months prior to that night.

And since the officers were kept up to dat eon youkai and their laws, with the help of the misleading date on the adoption papers and the other forms- what had happened to Higurashi fell out of their juristiction since it appeared as if Inu no Taisho and his family had every right to torture the man.

Hell under their laws, his sire had even made sure that they had the fucking right to murder him...slowly and with extreme predjudice for his crimes.

And they would if the man ever showed his filthy self to the onna ever again.

But for the moment they had to plan around what the officers had told them before leaving. While Inu no Taisho had made sure that the dates on the legal documents claiming Kagome as theirs were dated several months back, giving the illusion that she had been with them far longer than she actually had, that could come back to bite them all in the ass later on if the girl refused to have any emotional ties to them and inevitably wound up in counciling or something.

"Do you think she will need to speak to someone? About what happened to her, I mean?" Inu no Taisho asked Sesshomaru, his tone for once since the undertaking of this articular time consuming endevor- sounding uncertain.

Sesshomaru wasn't sure how to respond to the question since none of them knew just how much damage Higurashi had done to her. Nor did any of them know for how long the abuse had been taking place.

Sighing as he glanced at the mantle above the fireplace, just over his father's shoulder where their last family photo hung as he thought that they would be taking another photo soon that included Kagome.

"I...do not know father." He wished he did, but he didn't.

Inu no Taisho sighed and raked his fingers through his bangs and then shifted the tone of their conversation and said, "Alright. How is Kagome doing? Is she resting well?"

"I took her to her room, cleaned her face of the makeup, fixed her hair, and changed her clothing so that she could rest better," His father hummed. But said nothing since he could tell that his son wished to say more. "Father... W-When I was changing her- I noticed that her body was in an attrocious state."

Inu narrowed his eyes at his son as he told him of the markings and bruises that littered the child's body. As well as the smallness and delicateness of her body's physique. He even mentioned that from the child's facial features alone, it was more than obvious that she was- to a degree- malnurished as well as how he thought that they could fix that particular problem.

Inu agreed that the girl would need to eat several meals a day that had enough fat in them to put a little bit of meat on her tiny bones, and was already planning that out when he finally asked where Inuyahsa was. He had thought that the pup would be curious to know what would happen now.

Sesshomaru simply told him that he had felt it would be wrong to leave the girl to her own vices if she should have awakened during the time that they had spent away in the dungeon. He expressed the feeling that the girl may have made an attempt to run from them if she could. Or perhaps even take her own life before they could earn her trust.

Inu sighed again, and told his son that niether of those things would ever happen.

He would not allow it.

Both running from their pack and suicide were unacceptable. And that if the girl should ever attempt either, he would take care of it as carefully as possible without hurting or frightening her.

Sesshomaru accepted his promise and then was dismissed so that Inu no Taisho could finish working on some of the other things that Kagome would need in the coming years. He had already set up a bank account, and a savings account for her and placed a sizable sum of over twenty five thousand in each account.

Which he would do every month, same as he did for Inuyasha and as he had for Sesshomaru when he had still been a pup, before he had started his own buisness.

The money was something that he thought she could use for anything she needed. Clothing. Food. Medical care if she got ill and ddin't want to let them know- something that Inuyahsa did rather frequiently, he was sad to say. The money could also be used for school, vacation, and even the holidays.

He doubted that she could go through all of it if she bothered with it at all.

Especially since one of the things that Inuyasha had told them about her was that she was very careful with any money that she had. Which was interesting for a child her age. But given all the things that she had likely gone without when at her family home- er sorry- former family home- he meant to say former, then she would likely be just as careful with the money he gave her monthly.

Especially since he had no intention of telling her right away just how much she had in either account.

It wouldn't do for her to take the money and attemot to leave the state or something.

Among one of the other things he had to do was present her to the rest of demon society as his daughter, something that he hoped to put off for quite a while. Maybe until she was sixty? No! Eighty! He'd wait until she was eighty!

It was the only way... to keep her safely away from the greedy hands of others.

More specifically it was the only way to keep her from the greedy hands of any available male of mating age.

He groaned and almost wished that he were banging his head on something as scenario's of Kagome as a young adult being courted by some asshole with a functioning cock swam through his mind. God knew that that just might justify the headache he was beginning to get. Huffing slightly the inu demon decided to go see how his newest child was doing, and slowly got out of his seat so that he could attend his newest young and maybe see if Inuyasha needed anything.
