By: Beloved Shadow
Kaede slowly walked through her small village, greeting the villagers as she went. She had been the priestess after her sister died 50 years ago and wouldn�t continue to do so until her dying days but she didn�t want to leave them with no protector and knew she had to pick a successor soon. But that was not what worried her at the moment. Coming to the great god tree she found the young miko Kagome standing before it, just staring up at the branches.

When she and the others arrived a few days ago she feared the worse upon seeing the swelling of her bottom lip and jaw but was even more shocked to find out that it was the wolf prince that had struck the young girl. She had heard the tales of how he was in love with the young girl and how he had a constant rival with the half-demon but when asked about him they had no answer to give her.

�How are ye feeling, child?� the old priestess asked.

The young girl was startled from her thoughts but turned and smiled at her kindly. �I�m fine.�

�Ye are worried,� she pointed out.

�Is it that obvious?�

�Join me child.� Kagome walked beside the old woman as they headed back to her hut, taking their time and greeting villagers on their way but it was the wise old woman who broke the silence. �I�m sure he is fine, child. Inuyasha is a stubborn yet proud even for a half-demon.�

�I know but something tells me that it�s worse,� she told her with worry in her tone. �I still don�t understand what happened. I don�t think Kouga meant to hit me; he was so upset that he wouldn�t listen to reason but something doesn�t feel right. Something happened and I can�t stop worrying.�

�Be at ease, Kagome. Come, let us see how the others are doing.�

�Okay.�

Miroku and Sango were easy to find since they were on their way to meet the old priestess. Kirara and Shippo were still napping inside but suddenly the little neko was up, his nose lightly twitching. Mewing she ran out of the hut and raced down the dirt covered road, ignoring even Sango�s cries to stop.

�Kirara wait!� the demon slayer called to her.

�She must have sensed something,� Miroku pointed it out but it was Shippo who confirmed their suspicions.

�Everyone! I can spell wolves coming this way!� he said his eyes wide.

�You mean Kouga?� Kagome asked.

�Iie not Kouga but they are wolves and I think Inuyasha is with them!� That caused everyone to chase the little fire neko but the young kit stayed with the old priestess. �Grandma Kaede, something doesn�t feel right.�

�What do ye mean?� she asked a bit bewildered.

�Well the wolves don�t seem to really be in a big hurry but I can feel something wrong. I think Inuyasha was hurt really badly.� He couldn�t say what but even at his young age he knew something was very wrong.

--

Inuyasha froze. The wolves and demons paused, watching him but none dare touch him. Lotus noticed this and gently touched his shoulder. Before she could say anything she turned her head sharply at the same time their escort turned. Before any could react a cream colored neko with black stripes as her markings and crimson eyes ran at them but the half-demon held her tightly to his chest. She mewed happily and began to purr loud enough for them all to hear.

�Kirara�� he smiled and hugged her close, missing the feel of her fur as it caressed his face lightly. Compared to the wolves her coat was softer and smelt very lightly of smoke but it was very warm.

�No need to ask if you know her,� the healer smiled and gently scratched the fire cat under her chin, earning a deep purr herself.

�Inuyasha!!� That was the only warning anyone got before Kagome ran forward, throwing her arms around the half-demon tightly. She nearly knocked him over but he caught himself. �I was so worried about you! I�m so glad you�re back.�

�Kagome�� His body was stiff as a board but slowly his arms went around her in a loose embrace. �I�m glad you�re okay. I was so worried when I saw what happened� gomen.�

The young miko blinked and looked at him. �Why are you apologizing?� she asked and only then noticed the haunted and shattered look in his eyes. �Inuyasha, what happened to you?�

The wolf healer came to his aid as she gently pushed the two a bit apart. �Kagome, right? My name is Lotus and I�m the healer of Kouga�s pack. But before we speak I would prefer we have a shelter over our heads.� Looking at the escort she nodded her head. Bowing in respect to her they melded into the surrounding forest. �They have gone to hunt but will return before nightfall.�

�Um alright. It�s nice to meet you.� Turning around she saw that Sango and Miroku had arrived and were watching them. �Guys, this is Lotus. Lotus, these are our friends Miroku and Sango.�

She smiled and nodded to them. Looking at the half-demon she took his arm and turned back to the young girl dressed in such strange clothing. �Shall we go? I would like to speak with your healer as soon as possible.�

�Right.� Leading the way through the forest the wolf demoness and half dog demon followed but as the demon slayer made to follow the monk held her back. They waited until they were out of sight but still he leaned close to her to speak to her softly.

�I think something is wrong with Inuyasha,� he said with seriousness. �He�s not acting like him.�

�I know. Usually he�s running at the mouth or acting so tough but right now he seems like a helpless child,� she admitted to him. �Kirara knows it too. She�s refusing to leave his side and I think Kagome suspects something. What could have happened to him?�

�I don�t know but I think we need to speak to Lotus-sama as soon as possible.�

--

Inuyasha sat in the branches of the god tree, the same tree he had been sealed it for the past 50 years but he wasn�t thinking about that. He didn�t tell anyone, but even when he was pinned by his former love�s sacred arrow he felt safe and at peace. Now he felt comforted as he sat among the thick branches, the leaves shading him from the sun. It reminded him of the times when he was younger, when his mother would held him in his lap and wrap him within her silken robes. Kirara purred as he gently scratched her fur behind the ears, her twin tails lightly swishing along his leg. She knew something terrible had happened to him and wouldn�t leave his side. For that the half-demon was grateful.

Everyone�s eyes widen as the healer told the story of what happened. Even Shippo was pale as he refused to leave until he knew what was wrong. Kaede had turned thoughtful though, knowing how manipulative Naraku could be when his put his mind to it but to rape someone as an act of revenge?

�Will� Will he get better?� Kagome asked very softly. She wasn�t sure whether to cry or scream or chase the wolf prince down.

�I don�t know� but I couldn�t let him stay at the caves for much longer. His physical wounds have healed but the wounds of the mind and spirit, I am not that great a healer,� Lotus admitted. �I had hoped that perhaps in the company of you--his pack--may help him.�

�But how can we help?� Sango asked with some concern.

�Be there for him. I will stay for a few days to help with what I can but perhaps being around those he knows best will help him be the man he once was.�

�We will do our best, lady healer.�

�Arigato but call me Lotus.�

So as the days began to pass the group tried to get the half-demon back to his usual self but things were not getting better. Inuyasha still feared physical touch of any kind, especially if it came from men that one day when Miroku patted his shoulder in greeting he ended up with five deep gashes on his chest. Everyone was getting worried but things seemed to be going worse when just over a month after the incident Inuyasha stopped eating. He wasn�t hungry for anything, even the ramen Kagome brought from her home but the food he did manage to eat didn�t last long. Kaede tried having him drink a special brew, thinking he may be sick but that didn�t worse. Lotus tried as well but nothing was helping as he continued to vomit anything that entered his stomach, so the healers decided to take a better look as the hanyou�s body.

Inuyasha�s golden eyes darted between the two old women. He didn�t fear them but he was ashamed of his body. His smooth pale skin was marred with think white scars, most of them located on his chest and hips. He shut his eyes tightly as tears escape yet he opened them when he felt a familiar hand stroke his hair back.

�Be at ease, young one. We�re just going to find out what�s wrong with you and try to make it better,� Lotus whispered to him.

�I don�t want anyone to see my shame,� he whimpered as he reached up and clung to her hand tightly.

�No shame, young one. Now, relax and try to get some rest for you are among friends.� Humming softly she continued to stroke his hair until he slipped into a peaceful slumber. Still holding his hand she nodded to the old miko. �Let us begin.�

Outside Kagome, Shippo, Miroku, Sango, Kirara, the demons and wolves were waiting a bit anxiously. The escort could have left at any point but after seeing how much the half-demon changed they stayed to assist the healer in anyway. They still didn�t trust humans very much but the village and its people were slowing gaining their favor.

Kirara and Shippo sat against the wall next to the door after promising both healers they wouldn�t try to peek in. Instead they watched as the adults tried to keep busy but failed. Kagome was trying to work on her homework but kept staring at the hut across from her, tapping her pen against the textbook nervously. Miroku was sitting along the other side of the door, eyes closed and looked to be in a deep meditation but once in a while his hand would tighten over his staff so tight his knuckles went white from the strain. Sango also appeared calm but her body was tense and every little noise made her jump as her fingers braided and unbraided the same strand of hair repeatedly. The wolves and demons were also nervous as their tails were lay flat on the ground and their bodies were so tense you could knock them over with the feather but no one said anything.

After what seemed like an eternity the front door/flap was pushed open and Lady Kaede stepped out. Everyone wanted to pounce and ask what was wrong but they waited as she shuffled out and stood there, thinking hard on what to say. Taking a deep breathe she closed her eye.

�Inuyasha� is pregnant.�

--

�How can he be pregnant?? He�s a guy!!� Kagome practically screamed.

�Are you sure he isn�t sick or something like that?� Sango asked with shock written on her face.

�I was surprised as well but ask Lotus-san,� the old miko explained. The demoness nodded to her and turned to face the large group.

�We checked for every possible sign but he is most certainly pregnant,� she began to say. �I still don�t believe it all myself but the signs are there. Morning sickness, lack of eating, and sleeping more than necessary. He also seems to spend more time between the neko, Kaede, or myself. We don�t say anything but it�s like he needs a pillar of support to help him through.�

�But we�re his friends why doesn�t he depend on us?� the young miko asked, getting frustrated.

�Truthfully? I have seen the way you act and right now he needs someone who is calm and at ease. You seem ready to bolt and you don�t know what it�s like for him to have gone through that humiliation. But he also told me that he still regrets having not saved you from harm. He stills fears the monk and the exterminator for different reasons and the kit is too young to know what he went through,� she said firmly. �He also feels very uncomfortable about wolves and demons but only because they carry Kouga�s scent.�

�I can understand most of it but, how is it possible that he could get pregnant?� Miroku asked. �Could it be because he is a half-demon?�

�I have seen many things in my life but I have no answer for that, monk,� Lotus sighed. But I think I know someone who may be able to help. I just hope she�s still around.�

�If I ever see Kouga I�ll burn him alive with my fox fire!!� the young kit snarled angrily, startling the group. Never had anyone seen them like this but before he could run off to make good on his threat the young miko gathered him in her lap and held him tightly. Her head was bowed but her shoulders shook and two tears dropped onto her skirt.

�What is the matter, Kagome?� Kaede asked with concern in her weathered face.

�I� I never thought this could happen�� she tried to say through the tears. �Kouga and Inuyasha always fought but to rape him� I could forgive him for hitting me but I will never forgive him for doing this to one of my friends!� The tears fell faster but no one knew what to say really.

Shippo looked at his adoptive mother and with his little arms hugged her tightly and let her cry herself out. As the others try to help comfort her Lotus stood and beckoned the wolves to come with her. They entered the forest and once they were sure they were alone the healer spoke up.

�I want one demon and wolf to head back to the pack. Tell Kouga my work isn�t done here and I don�t want him to even think of coming here or I�ll go through with my threat,� she told them. They looked at one another but the two fastest nodded and ran off as fast as they could. Though they were no match against their leader in a race of speed they were still pretty fast. �The rest of you stay here in the village until we return.�

�Lotus-sama, where are you going?� one of the demons asked.

�To see if I can find my old friend. Last I heard she had moved to the south but it�s not gonna be easy. Inuyasha, the neko and I will go find her and see if she can help.�

�Why not take one of us with you or the slayer?� another demon asked. �The south is dangerous even for us!�

�Time is not on our side. It will take days to get there and the smaller the party the better. I need you all to stay here and protect the village and help the mikos. Understood?�

�Hai Lotus-sama.� They didn�t like it but it was the only thing they could do.

Smiling at them she embraced the demons and wolves one by one, surprising them. �Don�t worry. I am the oldest member in ht entire pack. I outlived everyone, I survived the birds of paradise, and I raised most of you since you were all cubs. I�ll be fine.�

�And what would we do if we lost our only healer?� one teased but she lightly tugged his ear.

�Behave. Oh, if Kouga comes looking for us� don�t tell him where I went but try to keep the young miko from using him as a pincushion. He may be an arrogant and young wolf but he�s still the pack leader and he hasn�t named a successor.

It didn�t take long for the trip to have some supplies made ready before they were off. Kagome wanted to go but not only was there not enough room on the fire cat and she wouldn�t be much help. Telling the half-demon that she will be waiting for him she watched as Kirara took to the sky. She tried very hard not to cry but the tears still fell.

--

Kouga had been staring at the waterfall for quite a long time. The only way he knew that was because his entire backside was now numb to any feeling. He kept tossing pebbles into the water, distorting his image before tossing the handful in with a growl. No word from Lotus or the half-demon in over a month. Part of him wanted to go and see what was taking so long but the guilt continued to weigh heavily upon his shoulders. Every time he thought of the mutt those golden eyes would haunt his memory as they looked upon him with utterly fear. He felt so helpless and alone. Even the demonesses were not too pleased with him and it showed in many different ways.

His den was always kept clean but since Lotus left they refused to enter. His furs were filthy and reeked that whenever he took a bath he took all his furs and would spent hours washing them himself. His meals were brought to his den but now he ate with the unmated pack members. After a while the men knew something was wrong but the females refused to say what and unless they wanted to suffer the same as their leader they kept to themselves sp he ate when time permitted him.

�I wish there was some way I could say I�m sorry� I would do anything to take back what I did and said�� he said to no one in particular.

�Kouga!!�

�Now what?� he groaned and stood, watching as Ginta and Hakkaku ran into his line of vision. �Nani?�

�Kouga, one of the demons and wolves we sent with Lotus-sama, they�re back!� Hakkaku panted.

�Which ones?� he asked.

�Thorn and Takeda,� Ginta said quickly.

In a whirlwind their prince was off, heading for the caves. It didn�t take long to get back but he want to wait as they ate and drank their fill having run the entire way back to their pack. Thorn finished his fill of clear water and lying down, his tongue rolling out the side of his mouth as he panted. Takeda swallowed the mouthful of food and water before looking at his pack leader. He wasn�t pleased as to what he did to the half-demon but he was still loyal to the pack.

�Lotus-sama says she must stay at the miko�s village for a while longer. The rest of the escort is with her but she said not to even think about coming or she�ll come through with her threat,� he said simply and quickly.

The wolf prince growled and his hands tighten into fists. �She can�t order me around I�m the pack leader!� he said angrily.

�She needs to stay the half-demon is not getting any better,� Takeda said through gritted teeth.

�She�s the pack healer and she belongs here!� Turning he ran out of the cave and down the trail, running right past his two best friends since childhood.

�Kouga, where are you going?!� Ginta yelled out to him.

�To get the rest of our pack back!� he yelled and was gone in an instant.

--

Inuyasha thought back to his friends, having never seen any of them act that way surprised him but he wasn�t sure to make of it. Was it because they pitied him or did they actually care about his well-being? He closed his eyes as the wind blew his hair back and ruffled his clothes.

Lotus knew he was deep in thought so instead of interrupting him she squeezed the hands that were wrapped around her waist. Looking at the cat she ruffled her cream colored fur, getting a purr in response. �We�re making good time, Kirara. But I haven�t seen her in years so I can�t remember what her scent is like.� The cat growled softly and she chuckled. �Well if you smell something that smells like a bird then it might be her.�

�Lotus-sama?�

�Hai?�

�Can your friend really help me?�

�She was known for her abilities to heal the soul but, that was a very long time ago,� she sighed. �This was back when Kouga was just a tiny cub and his father was the leader of the pack. I was just learning about my duties as the pack healer when Kouga�s father--Lord Ookami--heard of some demons trespassing on our lands. He went and came back with an injured girl who was half-human. Turns out she was a runaway.�

The dog demon rested his head on her shoulder, containing the yawn that tried to escape. �Who was she running from? Demons or humans?� he asked softly.

�Both. Humans for her beauty and demons for her powers.�

�But you said she was only half.�

�She is. She�s half-human from her father but her mother was the great goddess of the sun, Amaratsu.� She looked at the young man, her eyes serious. �Heikou is a demi-goddess.�

His eyes widen as the words registered in his mind. A demi-goddess? Never in his life had he seen or heard of tem, even Kikyou had never heard of them but who�s to say it wasn�t possible. He wanted to ask what her powers were but sleep was threatening to take over and claim him. He quietly surrendered to the darkness.

Lotus held his arms tighter and began to hum softly. She remember that day, the poor girl was so weak it took months before she regained all her strength but the loner she stayed the more the wolf demons wanted her for their own. She was beautiful with her porcelain face, graceful body, and gentle personality but even so she had her own faults.

Heikou had been born blind.

She claimed that her mother turned into a phoenix and laid an egg. Her father watched over the egg lovingly but when she hatched her mother came down in all her glory. The true form was never meant for mortal eyes and because the child was only half her sight was damaged and ruined.

Grief stricken her mother returned to the heavens but her father and ruler of the heavens--Izanagi--would not allow her daughter to enter the Heavenly Palace. So her father took her and raised her as his own. As she grew older the men in the village lusted after her. Angered at her refusal they tried taking her by force. She and her father left the village and were at peace in the forest, living simple lives but it did not last.

Rogue bandits came cross the home and kidnapping her they killed her father and burned her home down. They violated her body and abused her but when they arrived in a town to rest the lord of the land heard about the girl and sent his men to purchase her. When the bandits refused he sent his soldiers to kill them all and once more the young girl was kidnapped. She was treated as his pet which he showed off to other lords, boasting of how she was one of a kind that soon she found herself as nothing more than a possession. Her mother was so disgusted at how the humans treated her daughter that against her father�s wishes she took her brother�s sword and killed those that harmed her daughter.

Izanagi couldn�t take the pain anymore and visited the dreams of a very powerful yet wise miko called Midoriko and asked her to take the child into her care. The priestess agreed and after many days found the poor girl, broken and alone. It took several years but Midoriko did all she could and when she healed, taught her how to use her hidden powers of a demi-goddess.

Heikou learned to purify toxins from the body and helped those in need but she also learned how to heal the mind and spirit. One day, a great demon attacked and Midoriko led it away but when she didn�t return after a week the village�s bravest warriors ventured inside. There they found the shikon no tama, of jewel of four souls. When Heikou heard of this she grew heartsick and left the village. With painful memories of humans she traveled but when demons saw her once more she was sought as a prize. She fought and ran, found and ran, fought and ran until she couldn�t do either anymore. Exhausted she waited for death but the leader of the wolf clans rescued her.

When she was healed she noticed the tell-tell signs of the demons wanting her as their mate she left at dawn�s light but not before giving the lord who saved her and the healer who nursed her to health something of great value. A gold feather to Ookami and a silver feather to Lotus, directly plucked from her wings.

�Should you ever need help, seek me out and I will do all I can,� she told them with a smile. �May the gods grant you your hearts� desire.� And with that she left.

�That was over 80 some years ago,� Lotus thought to herself softly. Making sure Inuyasha wouldn�t fall she reached into her robes and pulled out a tattered silver father. It looked like tarnished silver and had seen better days but even in the slowly dying light it glowed with a delicate light of its own. The old healer smiled and held the feather to her chest tightly. �I sure hope you can help him, Heikou. If anyone can help heal his broken spirit� you can.� Still holding on tightly the old wolf felt her eyes begin to drift shut.

Kirara could feel the weight on her back shift that looking up she saw that both riders had fallen asleep. She purred softly but continued flying. With the rapidly setting sun at her side she knew that night would come in quickly but until now she would put as much distance between her and the wolf prince as possible. No one harmed her litter.
Author�s Notes: I kinda got this idea while watching �Wolf�s Rain�. Heikou is not gonna be paired with anyone so don�t worry but she is my own creation. I�ll put the link to her picture next chapter. I absolutely adore Midoriko , she is the coolest female character in the entire series I wanted to find someway to at least mention her in the fic. Kougasmate, I will include the others but a little at a time.

I am so glad you people liked the first chapter!! Yes again this is an m-preg so I hope this helps and I hope you like this chapter as well. Again I�m open to suggestions. A tiny sneak peak of the next chapter: Kouga arrives at Kaede�s village to bring his demons, wolves, healer and Inuyasha back but maybe he should have stayed at the caves �cuz he�s gonna have to deal with a seriously pissed off miko, monk, kitsune, and demon slayer. Be sure to stay with me to find out if the wolf prince will survive the wrath.
