Kagome smiled after her son. She said, "He will be wonderful for Luke."

She looked out of the corner of her eye and noticed that Sesshomaru was staring at her. I wonder why he's staring at me. Sesshomaru said, "Father, there have been reports of rouge demons being killed be bounty hunters."

Kagome gasped in surprise. One of her pups was a bounty hunter. Inutaisho asked, "Are we sure these reports are true?"

A demoness appeared behind Kagome and bowed. He said, "Mother, I have come with news."

Kagome asked, "What is it, Rachel?"

Rachel stood up and said, "Our brothers and sisters are being killed. We found out that the wolf elders have put bounty on all rouge demons. They are trying to make you weak with grief, mom."

Kagome smiled and said, "You have done good, daughter. I am proud of you."

Rachel said, "Mom, I would like your permission to pursue a demon that helps guard the castle."

Kagome thought for a moment. She asked, "What is his name?"

Rachel blushed and said, "He is called Nick, and he is a kitsune."

Kagome smiled and said, "You have my permission. Just don't be too forward."

Rachel smiled and left. Kagome said, "It seems like this was a busy day. Many of my pups are wanting to mate with your guards, Inutaisho."

Inutaisho asked, "What about your one son that came into the throne room with the others?"

Kagome smiled and said, "Ryan is gay. I have no problem with this."

Just then Shippo came running into the dinning room. He said, "I'm sorry for interrupting, mom. Ryan is by the front gate, and he has been hit with an arrow. He won't let any of us near him."

Kagome sighed and got up. She walked to the front gate and saw Ryan leaning on the wall of the gate. Kagome ran over to him and asked, "What happened?"

Ryan coughed a little and some blood came out of his mouth. He said, "I was g-going to go f-for a walk. S-sudden-suddenly an a-arrow came out of n-nowhere and hit m-me. I'm s-sorry I've failed y-you, m-mot-mother."

Kagome smiled and said, "You did not fail me. You should rest. Close your eyes, and I will take care of you."

Ryan closed his eyes and slipped into unconsciousness. Kagome said, "Someone help me get him to the infirmary."

Sean came forward and grabbed Ryan. He followed Kagome all the way to the infirmary. When they got to the infirmary the healer said, "Put him down on the bed beside Kouga."

Sean put Ryan on the bed beside Kouga and left. The healer said, "Milady, you should get some rest. They will be fine in my care."

Kagome nodded and left. She went to her room and went to sleep. Kagome was woken up the next morning when someone knocked on her door. She sighed and opened her door. Sesshomaru was standing there. Kagome asked, "What can I do for you, prince Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru said, "I thought that you would like to know that Kouga has awakened."

Kagome smiled and said, "Thank you."

Sesshomaru nodded and left. Kagome watched him walk away. I wonder if he could ever want me for his mate. Kagome frowned. She knew it was near impossible for the prince to love her.

Kagome went to the throne room and saw that Inutaisho was talking to his sons. She said, "Old friend, I need a favor."

Inutaisho looked at Kagome and asked, "What can I do for you, Kagome?"

Kagome smiled and said, "I want the wolf elders brought here."

Sesshomaru smirked. She is going to get revenge for what they did to her pups. I wonder how I can approach her about being my mate. Inutaisho said, "I will have someone tell them I wish to see them."

Inutaisho called for Sean since he could fly the fastest. Sean came in and bowed. He said, "You called for me, milord."

Inutaisho smiled and said, "I wish for you to find the wolf elders. Tell them I would like to see them."

Sean gasped in surprise. He said, "As you wish, milord."

Sean left to go find the wolf elders.
