The sound of birds chirping woke her up. Kagome slowly opened her eyes but closed them immediately due to the harsh light of the sun streaming in through the open window screens.

"I see you have awakened." A light male voice sounded out.

"Where am I?" Kagome questioned placing a hand on her head to message her temples, her eyes still closed.

"You were found by our Lord while he patrolled his lands." He answered. She could hear him moving some papers.

Kagome sighed as she got up hissing from the pain in her back, her eyes now opened.

"Careful." The male gently scolded.

Kagome ignored him as she stood. She noticed something that would have embarrassed her if she were still a naïve 15 year old. Gone with her haori and hakamos she now wore a plain white Yukata that was pooled down at her waist, being held up by a pail blue sash. The only thing covering her breast were white bandages that also wound around her shoulder.

"Your back may ache for a day or two. You were found with a dislocated shoulder and fractured ribs, but I must say," he paused as he came into view. He was old, about sixty, with sharp brown eyes that seemed to be trying to understand her. His hair was short and gray. "You heal at an exceptionally fast rate. Why is that?"

Kagome frowned as she allowed her aura to scan her body, finding the healers words true. Seems Kikyo did more damage than she though.

"I wish to speak with your Lord." The request came out more as a demanded.

The man gave a nod. "If you wish not to answer me, then you shall answer to our great and terrifying Lord."

He turned to the shoji screens and slid it open. "Mika!" He called out.

In a matter of minutes a girl her age ran in. She was small and ordinary in looks, wearing a green kimono, which Kagome oddly realized held the symbols Sesshomaru's female servants held on there Kimono's).

"Yes Kizo-San?" She greeted. "Was there something you needed?"

"Yes, please go and bring Lord InuTaisho."

The girl nodded and left as quickly as she came.

Kagome stood frozen in her spot. Lord InuTasio... InuYasha and Sesshomaru's Father! Oh god, what had she just gotten herself into.


InuTaisho growled as he stared at the beautiful Silver Inu Youkai before him. She had all the traits of his kind, the sliver hair, golden eyes, fair skin (unlike his own tan), and the lightning-like markings of a powerful female Inu.

"What." He demanded his voice deep, velvety, but cold with a hint of his anger.

"Just as you heard Koi." She spat, her silver tongue coming into play. "I grow tired of your infidelity and I am leaving with MY Pup."

"That is where you are wrong." He spoke. He could understand the infidelities but he swore she was the devil incarnate! She was cold and unfeeling. She was only interested in his money and he knew he wasn't the only one being unfaithful, Hell, she was the first one to cheat!

"And pray tell how am I wrong."

"You may leave InuKimi, but without Sesshomaru."

Her eyes narrowed. "He will need his mother."

"For what? To learn his mother is a harlot? To become a disgrace?" He sneered insult after insult.

InuKimi growled as her eyes glowed red just as InuTaisho's were. "He is my Son!"

"But he is my Heir!" He countered.

She movies to strike but a knock on the door stopped her.

"My Lord, the woman has awaken and demands an audience with you." Mika weakly spoke feeling the amount of anger coming from the room.

"Another whore, Mate? What about your precious Izayoi? Tired of her already?"

"Silence."

"Hm. Go see the harlot but know this," she said as she through the door open. "I will be staying." And she walked right pass the scared Mika.

InuTaisho sighed as he stood. "Come." He ordered.
