Chapter 11
Inutaisho, Izayoi, and Sesshomaru watched in horror and fear as Rin began to panic while Kagome fell off of the dragon. Not wanting to just watch, Rin held her pup as she tried to reach for Kagome only to fall of the dragon herself. It was by this point that Dante and Helios were able to smell her blood as clear as day. Realizing what Rin had done, Kagome locked eyes with Helios and hissed, "Catch Rin and her pup now."
As Sesshomaru was held out of the way and back by his brother and Inutaisho, Izayoi watched as the ice dragon easily caught her daughter while the dragon of fire quickly took flight and caught Kagome. Once the two had landed, Helios gently placed Rin down while Dante began to growl out in anger. Before anyone could try to get to either one of the girls, a guard walked in and said, "My king Ayame has just returned with Miyazu, she says that what she has to tell you cannot wait."
"It has to wait, Rin is in danger." Sesshomaru growled.
"She's…in…no danger." Kagome whispered as she turned to Helios and said, "Please, let…her go."
As soon as the wings that had kept her trapped were moved, Rin quickly ran toward her mate with her pup in her arms. She knew that Kagome would be alright because it was now clear to her that the dragons really care for her just as much as she cared for them. Once he was free of protecting Rin, Helios quickly moved and stood in front of Dante with an open jaw. At this point Kagome was passed out and could no longer control the dragons.
"My King, you must get out of here, all of the other dragons are starting to go crazy." A guard was heard as he ran in.
And just as quickly he had ran in, Ayame had ran in as well. While all of this was going on, Inuyasha kept his eyes locked with each of the dragons as he tried to think of a way to get Kagome out of their grasp. "Keep away or be killed." Sango was heard as she walked in with Miroku at her side.
"Sango!" Rin cried.
"Prince Inuyasha, are you alright?" Miroku asked.
"I'm fine, how can Sango understand them?" Inuyasha growled as he turned to look at Sango.
"Because they trust me like they trust Kagome but right now they won't let anyone near her." Sango stated.
"What the hell happened while we were gone?" Miroku asked in a worried voice.
"I think I can explain that." Ayame was heard as she turned toward the stable door and called for her dragon.
"What are you talking about?" Izayoi asked.
"Start explaining." Inutaisho growled.
"Kagome was hurt while she went out to heal the dragon and Eri." Ayame answered. "She was attacked on her way to heal Eri and has been using herbs to hide the scent of her blood."
"Who is responsible for all of this." Inuyasha growled as he could here the enraged growl of the other dragons around them.
"Koga." Ayame answered as Miyazu threw the wolf prince off of her back in before the king. "When he was ordered by my grandfather to become my mate so that he can take my grandfathers place he lost it. He has always wanted to mate with Kagome and when he came across her on his way back he tried to take her by force."
"We need to get to her." Eri's worried filled voice was heard. "Her wounds stilled haven't healed."
"They won't." Koga stated.
"Explain yourself." Sesshomaru growled as he found the person that was responsible for the danger that his mate was in.
"They won't heal until I make her my mate; it's an old demon curse that runs in the wolf tribe." Koga answered.
"Lock him up." Inuyasha growled as he turned his back to make his way to the dragons before him.
"You can't get to her." Sango stated in a sad voice.
Before anyone could say or do anything, a very pissed off Miyazu walked up to the two dragons that stood before her. She knew what had to be done and knew that she would have to put herself in danger in order to get them to understand. Before Ayame could stop her dragon, Miyazu let out an air pricing growl as she opened her jaws to reveal her long fans. 'What do you think you two idiots are doing!'
"We're trying to make sure that she isn't hurt again, she is like our mother!" Eri repeated what Dante had growled back to her.
"And you are not going to take her from us." Sango stated what Helios had said.
(A/N: What Ayame says is what Miyazu is telling Helios and Dante. What Eri says is what Dante says and what Helios says is what Sango will be saying. Hope you don't get confused)
"She needs to be treated by a healer! Let them take her to Kaede!" Ayame growled out.
"Listen to her!" Inuyasha added.
"You shut up, what do you know, all you do is order her around." Eri replied. "You were the one that sent her out in the first place."
"It is your fault that she is hurt." Sango added.
"I don't care what you two fucking think but if you don't let me treat her wounds I WILL fight you both and get her from you." Inuyasha growled as his eyes began to flash between gold and red.
'Do you really want to risk your life?' Miyazu asked in a very low growl. 'If she dies you die, will you really kill yourselves just because you did not want her taken from you when she is clearly wounded.'
"Sango, come and get her, make sure she stays with you." Eri whispered.
Not having to be told twice, Sango ran forward and quickly got a hold of Kagome, as she got closer to Inuyasha and the others she had to hold her breath. Each step she took was marked by a trail of blood that Kagome was leaving behind. Having had enough, Sango handed her sister over to Inuyasha as she turned around and threw up. She had always been use to the smell of blood but not to the smell of her sister's blood.
Inuyasha quickly ran out and to Kaede's hut. Meanwhile, Izayoi turned sad eyes as tears ran down her face and looked at the two dragons. Once she had their attention, she pushed her mate away from her so that she could get close to them. Once she was close to them, Miyazu stepped away so that Izayoi could bow before them as she closed her eyes and said, "I am terribly sorry for what has happened, I am sorry that you have to worry about the one that you see as a mother."
"Izayoi." Inutaisho growled.
"I am sorry that my mate did not listen to Lady Kaede, however you must understand, she chose to go on her own, if I could I would have gone with her or sent someone to protect her." Izayoi whispered. "I'm sorry."
"Mother." Rin whispered as she watched the two dragons lower their heads so that they could slightly rub Izayoi so try to comfort her. Miyazu turned to them and nodded before she turned to her rider and waited to repeat what they wanted to be heard said. "We understand, we just let our rage and anger get to us…we are loyal and will not betray those who have cared for us all this time, but please understand that we are happy so long as our mother is safe."
Inutaisho and Sesshomaru walked up to the two dragons and said, "We give you our word that your mother will be looked after and taken care of but now we need your help, please help calm the other dragons."
Meanwhile, Kaede had just finished cleaning and warping Kagome's wounds when she heard Inuyasha ask, "What about the curse?"
"I could not remove it completely, his will is strong, and he will have to be cursed by one with a stronger will to mate with him for this to be removed or…" Kaede stated.
"Or?" Sango asked as she walked in with Miroku alongside her.
"Or ye will have to let Koga finish what he has begun." Kaede answered in a sad voice.
"There is no way in hell that flea bag is going to get what he wants." Inuyasha growled in anger.
"I'll go tell Ayame and have her talk with the King and Queen." Miroku stated.
"I'm going down to the cell to try to 'convince' Koga to stop this." Sango hissed as she reached for her weapon.
"Feh, if you need me I'm going to be taking her to a room in the castle, Kaede I'll come and let you know which room so that you can go and check up on her very time you can." Inuyasha growled.
As she slept all she could dream of was her past, how she was forced to leave her home, how she had been curse. And now she had another curse on her. But as she slept and relived her nightmares Kagome could feel more of her miko energy helping her heal and get better faster. She could not feel the link she had with her dragons grown stronger. It wasn't until she heard her father's voice say, 'You are a very powerful girl my daughter, but when you find your true mate, you will be given your true gift, you will change the world for the better…I just know it.'
"Father." Kagome whispered.
"It would seem that she does remember who her parents were." Sesshomaru stated as he watched his brother carefully lay her down.
"It would seem so, but right now we need to get her to rest, how did Sango do?" Inuyasha growled.
"She is still trying to get him to remove it, Miroku on the other while has been taking for quiet a while with Ayame and our parents, would you like to so and see?" Sesshomaru asked.
"I'm not leaving her alone." Inuyasha growled.
"I'll watch over her." Rin was heard as she walked in with her sleeping pup in hands. "She saved my life and pup by ordering the dragons to safe me instead of her, for that I will make sure no one comes in unless you give me the ok."
Trusting in Rin, Inuyasha watched as Rin drew her sword after placing her sleeping pup next to Kagome. Once they had told her that Kaede, Miroku, Sango, and themselves were the only ones that were allowed to go in, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru took their leave to go and see what was going to become of Koga. As they grew closer to the room, Inuyasha turned to his brother and asked, "Aren't you worried about your mate and pup?"
"I have nothing to worry about, right now Rin is strong enough to beat father." Sesshomaru answered.
"Damn, well remind me not to get on her bad side." Inuyasha replied.
"Indeed, shall we?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Feh, just open the door." Inuyasha growled.
Just as the door had been opened, Miroku was heard say, "Well I say that the only way to get him to do what we want is to threaten his life. He cannot go unpunished for this."
"I agree but I don't want him killed, I've always loved him…ever he saved my life as a pup." Ayame replied.
"Than what is it that you suggest we do?" Izayoi asked.
After taking a calming breath, Ayame looked up to face the King and Queen and said, "I see we scare him and threw him in the stable that belongs to Dante and Helios. If he still doesn't want to remove it than I shall allow the dragons that protect Kagome to kill the demon that has done her wrong."
"I like that idea." Inuyasha stated.
"I would have to agree." Sesshomaru stated.
"As do I. They would like our gift to them dear." Izayoi added.
"Very well then, gather the guards and have them take him to the pen, Ayame you are to get the three dragons into the stable and make sure that they understand that they are not to kill him until you give the word." Inutaisho ordered.
"What about Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.
"She will remain in the castle to be watched over by Kaede and our family until she is healthy enough to go back, if she wishes it." Inutaisho stated.
"What do you mean dear?" Izayoi asked.
"If she no longer wants to work for us because of our mistake then we shall provide for her a home and money for her expense until she dies." Inutaisho explained. "That shall be our payment to her from us."
"Feh, if you ask me that's not enough." Inuyasha growled as he turned to leave. "We're the ones that allowed Koga to go this far, we should have made sure that she and the other stable works were being well treated."
Not giving them any time to respond, Inuyasha stormed out of the room and toward the cell where Sango was. He was enjoy watching that bastard pee his pants the moment he realized that they were not laying or trying to trick him into freeing Kagome. And if the bastard did set Kagome free, he was going to make sure that Koga would never set a foot near Kagome again.
