Chapter five

Never had he been so enraged, not even when he had been subjected to his own horrors and travesties in his prior life. Out of all the poor souls he had been fortunate (or unfortunate ) to help, this little inu-hanyou was by far the worst off. He could clearly see why lord death was all tied up in knots and spewing hell fire about having to leave the child up here. How anyone could be tortured and violated so much and still continue to live would always baffle him. Even though when he had been alive he had not faired any better he had at least been fully grown. This little one still had a century to go before he would be considered legally independent by youki society. If he wished to live on his own or marry he would need the consent of his guardians still, most pups his age were still boasting about their skill and plying pranks. They certainly were not laying in their older brother's dungeon bleeding and ruining a high fever. Bloody fuck.

It was settled, he would take on this job just as death had hoped he would. First he would stop focusing on his anger and focus on putting selves on the little prince to be and then he would go talk to the warlock of this castle. They would have words, he was the lord of deaths right hand man, no little western lord would frighten him. He had promised the god of death that he would look at the inu-hayou and decide from there if he would continue to do so and he had decided. After putting salves on his unconscious patient he gave him a sedative to help him sleep longer and hopefully bring down his fever. As he was filling the needle up with the sedative he looked over the inu-hanyou once more.

Cropped ears wilted as much as they could atop his head, still bleeding as if freshly done. Bruises marred every inch of flesh so not one natural color showed upon him, ad he had small gashes all up his arms and legs. His back faired the same treatment, these were obviously defensive wounds. He had tried to protect himself as best he could it would seem. Once he had finished with the drug he pulled the thread bare blanket up ad over the young pup and brushed back his hair so it did not clump in the salves. Yes the western lord had many words coming his way and he would move younger brother from these horrid conditions. The child would not heal unless his brother fulfilled his end of the bargen between him and lord death but that did not mean the pup could not live in more comfortable conditions than the bloody fucking dungeons! What kind of fool did this to family who had done nothing deserving of such harsh treatment!? Well he had his answer when he stormed into the western lords office and demanded his audience.

With an air of cool calm that spoke volumes of his power and cruelty the western lord sat at his desk and waited. No reaction and no response showed that he believed that the demon barging into his office was no threat and could be easily disposed of. If only he knew the truth, that he was deaths personal right had man. Only arrogant fools judged an opponent right off the bat. Speaking with a clear strong voice he reviled himself and made his stance to the western lord.

"Lord Sesshomaru I am the healer that has been charged with seeing to the young prince"

With this sentence alone he had incurred the western lords full attention and ire

"speak healer and inform this Sesshomaru on the hanyous heling time."

"with Little respect given my lord I will inform you on what needs to be done to help the young pup heal. I have little concern for you and what you want done. I am here on behalf of the youngest son of touga, he is being held in appalling conditions and needs to be moved into a new room immediately. Preferable one close to the gardens so he may have fresh air and a relaxing environment to recuperate. "

As he spoke he could feel the western lords anger rise as his youki started to flare with suppressed volatile needs. His lords eyes bleed red then back to gold as he struggled not to lose control and face to a lowly healer. A simple black bear demon no less. Oh how little this little lordling knew and how much he presumed to know. With a growl in his throat the western lord spoke.

"you dare make demands of me and claim you could care less about my will? You demand such extravagant things for a lowly half breed that taints my family line? You claim this filth be worthy of better treatment? I have given him better than he deserves his whole life by letting him live!"

Having heard enough the bear healer roared loudly and allowed his own equally powerful youkia to flare. If lord Sesshomaru wanted a fight he would give him one, he would fight for the little prince and he would insure that he came to no further harm as he went through this horrible journey of self-analysis. It was his new job and also his honor to help a pup heal and grow. After the death of his own pups I his first life he never to for granted the gift he was giving to help a pup o matter the species they may be. The western lord could through a fit all he wanted because his power came from lord death him self ad he would have no problem allowing his healer the power to maim lord Sesshomaru. Maybe take his arm again and a leg or two in the proses. Killing him would be to nice, he wanted the western lord to suffer. It was only fair.

"I dare! Little lordling! I will do all it takes to insure his comfort and safety and he will stay as he is unless you fulfill you end of the bargen with lord death! Ah you seem surprised, yes well I am sure you thought you could simply allow a healer to tend to the young prince and gain his trust while you later reaped the benefits of their hard work.."

Showing nothing but contempt for this healer lord Sesshomaru snarled and glared as he listed.

" you must think lord death an incompetent clod to trust you. Well be assured no trust was placed on you to betray. I am the one to see to inuyashas health and make sure h is not further abused. I cannot help either side win or lose for I am a third part with no god powers to help."

'So I am to be monitored!? Do not mock me I am the western lord and the strongest demon ther is on these lads! I adhere to no one!"

" ah that you may be, little lord, but I am just as strong. You can do as you wish so long as it does not hurt inuyasha further. If you wish to ignore him you may do so but I doubt that will last for long."

" then you presume to much. For that is all I will do where the half breed is concerned, you may see to all of his needs your self."

"I intend to. You seem to forget little lord that with out earning the young princes trust you can not gain his seed . no other will be able to gain his seed for it will die if any other should touch it but you. This is your battle you may succeed in it or you may give the child back to lord death. The choice is yours."

The healer took a deep breath and allowed himself to relax he had said his peace and now had to wait and see what happened.

" I shall be moving little inuyasha into a room on the east side of the palace. The room that opens straight into the gardens will do nicely. As you may know I come and attend to your soldiers and staff often so I will need no help with inuyasha as I can find my way around myself."

With that he turned his strong tall build and silently walked back out and down the hall. He would move inuyashe out of the cell now ad make sure he was taken care of before returning to lord deaths side to report. I this form he was six foot four all muscle and black hair but in his soul for. Well he was a beast then and he would gladly show lord Sesshomaru if the need ever came to it.

As he walked down the steps to the dungeon he contemplated weather or not this deal would go in deaths favor. Death saw nothing but a spoiled brat that would give up on this toy because he could not have his way with it. However he say a demon lord use to getting his way yes, but he got his way by being patient and planning. Working little by little and then striking his opponent down with the least amount of effort or resistance. Lord Sesshomaru would not give up, no he was positive that there was going to be a battle. He just did not know who would win, because eve if you did gain the trust of the little inu-hayou that did not mean inuyasha would still trust Sesshomaru after he saw who it was he had taken a fancy to.
