Chapter One: Please be Okay

A/N: Before you get into this chapter, know that I considered the episode “The Woman Who Loved Sesshoumaru” a non-canon side story. Well…it is. So I didn’t follow the events that happened in that episode as I make up my own here. You’ll see when you read it, so I’ll have no flaming about it, kay?
Todoku, Inga, and Alanna were out in the fields picking herbs for the small hospital that resided in the forest.   Todoku’s father Michodou, built when he had discovered his child harbored healing powers and expressed to him that she wanted to help those hurt and injured.   He wanted to make his little girl happy and one way he did was build a foundation for her to start her vocation. Of which, he greatly approved. It reminded him of his last love, Todoku’s mother, Kurope’s kind human heart.
It was closed since she had been sealed by Banyou, a demon that also possessed spiritual powers. It’s frightening that a demon even possess something that was contradictory to his own spirit, but he was her father’s enemy.   And maybe as way to hurt her father, he had sealed her for over 200 years. Todoku herself never fully learned as to why the two were enemies and Inga and Alanna weren’t telling her neither.
Now the hospital was open, but the only patients that Todoku was getting were demons. Lesser demons, but demons none the less. She even had a number of loving demon nurses that help care for the patients . She was proud of what she had built and her father would be proud too, if only her father would have returned to see it.
Todoku sighed as she thought of her father.   It’s now been about 6 months since she’s been awake from her 200 year seal and her father still hasn’t returned to see if his daughter had truly been resurrected.   The news seemed to have echoed all over the land about her resurrection from the curse, but the only one who didn’t seem to hear it was her old man.
Alanna was first to pick up on her distress. “Hey, you okay?”
“I’m just wondering about father again,” she said simply. “You said that he sent you two back to see if I would be awaken just by Banyou’s death right?   Well I’m alive, but he hasn’t even come back to see if his hunch was correct…”
“I’m sure he’s okay,” Inga came in; somehow it seemed that they were keeping a something from the poor hanyou, but she couldn’t be sure. She did grow tired of her father’s two vassals keeping things from her. Did they fear she wouldn’t be able to take it?
Todoku sat silent after that. She just didn’t know what to say. But she did also realize that someone other than her father hasn’t come back. Sesshoumaru hasn’t been back to the forest since that little meeting they had about 6 months ago as well. She’d been hoping that he’d return, just to relax in her forest or something.   It was getting to the point that she was almost begging aloud in her prayers.
“I only ran into him that once, but still I long to see him again….why do I feel so…” her thoughts were cut off by the sight of a large ball of light dive bombing into her forest. The impact was so hard that the ground shook and Todoku fell over from her kneeling position, losing her basket of herbs.
“What the hell was that?!?” Alanna reacted.
“I don’t know, but I’m going to check it out!” Todoku immediately leapt up and headed toward the place of impact. There was already an agonizing gut feeling that she wasn’t going to like this…at all.
“Todoku! Wait! Don’t go alone!!” Alanna called after her.
“Right, there’s no telling what danger there is there!” Inga got up hastily to follow her. Todoku didn’t hear it; she kept at top speed heading toward the mysterious impact site.
They ran for about a minute until Inga nearly ran into Todoku when she had stopped suddenly in her tracks. Todoku stood in utter shock at the sight before her. It was Sesshoumaru; lying in a pool of his own blood that kept growing so he had to be spewing multitudes from somewhere.
“Sesshoumaru!!” Todoku yelled out, her heart in her throat. She ran to his side praying that he was at least still breathing, but first she had to stop the blood flow.   She looked around his body, it wasn’t really coming from the gash in his chest, but when she finally discovered it, she gagged.
“What’s wrong?” Inga said inspecting the damage with her.
“His arm….His left arm is gone!!” Todoku immediately needed something to cut off the heavy bleeding. The only thing she could think of is the small golden obi she wore.
“What are you doing?” Alanna cried when she had finally caught up to them. To her, it appeared that Todoku was undressing as she untied the only thing keeping her small sleeveless kosode-style kimono closed.
“I have to stop the blood, I don’t have anything else with me,” Todoku said struggling to think on her feet as she wound the beautiful gold sash tightly around the remainder of Sesshoumaru’s arm. “Inga, you and Alanna go see if you can find the arm, maybe we can still attach it,” Todoku panted. Her vassals nodded and left her side knowing that Todoku knew what she was doing.   Others from the hospital followed the commotion to find their head doctor kneeling by the side of a very injured demon and joined in to see if they could help.
Todoku lifted up the great dog demon’s head and tried to beat gently on his chest to stimulate his breathing to start up again without hitting the gash strike to his chest and abdomen.   “C’mon….c’mon! Please…come back to me. I’ll never forgive myself if I let you die here. If I let you die, period!” Todoku unsuccessfully forced back tears in her eyes as her efforts became frantic. Seconds turned to minutes. “DON’T DIE ON ME, PLEASE!!!”
------------------------
His head felt foggy, all he could see was darkness.   Sesshoumaru felt incredibly tired and wanted to retire into sleep not knowing that if he did so, he wouldn’t wake up again. He then heard a voice, a familiar voice. “Who is that?” he called into the darkness. He tried rooting around in the inky blackness but found he couldn’t move his arms, matter of fact, there was an unspeakable pain coming from his upper left arm, which his he felt his anger boiling as he remembered his arm was gone forever in his father’s grave.
But even his anger couldn’t fight the fatigue and his urge to sleep.   At the same time, he wanted to figure out why there was some sort of repetitive pressure on his chest. And who the heck was calling out to him!?
“Sesshoumaru….Sesshoumaru… Please open your eyes! Please!! Don’t die on me!” he heard this voice more clearly this time.   It was urgent and pleading, tears resonated in her voice.
“Open….my eyes. I’m dying?!” Sesshoumaru said.
His eyes opened and he coughed up the blood that clotted in his throat blocking his airway. With the first intake of air a rush of intense pain shook his entire body. Pain so intense that he couldn’t hold back the wailing roar that escaped him.
“Thank Goodness!!!” that familiar voice exclaimed. His vision was blurry at first but the cleared to see the half-demon that healed his hand a few months ago. The half demon that smiled at him so sweetly and welcomed him into her forest though he tried to kill her. This time, her face was filled with tears of joy. Obviously really happy over something.
He then remembered hearing her voice asking him not to die. “She’s overjoyed….because I didn’t die?” He felt something else just then. It wasn’t pain, it was a leap in his chest, a leap that made him feel very warm and comforted; as if it was melting a part of him that was frozen. Sesshoumaru couldn’t even name this feeling, but whatever it was it seemed to ease his physical pain to a degree.
“You’re going to be okay, just stay awake with me,” She said trying to lift him. “We need to get him to…. Damn, Sesshoumaru! Are you made of solid iron?” The others that were at the ready came in to help carry the great demon lord made of nothing but muscle along with heavy silk, heavy armor, and a feeling of dead weight as his body was paralyzed.
“My lady there are no more beds in the hospital,” he heard one of them say.
“I know where there’s one more bed,” she told them as she was leading them into the forest toward her home.
They were off toward the destination implied and all that helped her, not just Sesshoumaru, could see the fortitude in her demeanor. It even caused some there to wonder if this was a very good friend of hers.
“Pull back the comforter!” she called and they pulled the large comforter off the very futon that Todoku herself sleeps on. They laid him down gently, Todoku pulled out a cloth that wrapped around her nose and mouth and began to go to work working loose his yellow and blue (very complicatedly tied) obi and removed his armor, then to his kimono…which both were actually intact.
The only way Todoku knew of his abdominal injury was because she does have very accurate senses when it comes to finding and treating injuries. One of her demon nurses came and tied a thin black rope around Todoku’s waist. “There you are my lady, love your determination…even if it does mean becoming immodest!” she smiled. To her surprise, Todoku’s kimono didn’t even come apart the entire time.
Todoku could barely turn her head to say thank you, “Thanks, I’m wondering how his kimono and armor are unharmed, yet he has a very serious gash in his gut…”
“Well, he could’ve been in a different form. Remember, demons can roam around in more than one appearance, especially in battle…” the same nurse said.
“I see…I wonder what his real form looks like…” Todoku pulled back his bloodied expensive fabric. Her heart dropped. Bones in his lungs and stomach as well as almost being divided in half. His intestines were also slashed and pouring out deadly toxins to the rest of his body.   “My word, what on earth did this to you?” she looked toward him. But he hastily looked away. He wasn’t even going to dignify that with an answer.
Todoku shook her head, “Nevermind, sorry I asked…” She just continued to treat him. “This’ll hurt a bit…” she said as she pulled a rib out of his lung. Sesshoumaru did his best to keep his calm with every bone she pulled from his organs. She then took her hands and ran them over the gashes.   A bright blue light emanated from her palms and began to reform and reattach his rib bones and seal his gashes to any of his organs. Then with one more swipe over of her glowing claws she sealed the gash completely. Though it did leave behind a gruesome scar.
“No stitches required. Nice one Lady Todoku as always!” the nurse cheered.
Huffing and puffing, Todoku had to use an incredible amount of power for that feat, and she wasn’t even done. “Thanks, but I don’t have the power to heal the scar, he’ll have to do that on his own. I have to save some power for his arm. How’s it doing over there, anyway?” she asked another nurse monitoring the severed limb.
“Some blood is still leaking, but it’s not as bad as it was…” the nurse seemed relieved, but it still worried Todoku, he could be running out of blood to leak out…
Alanna and Inga finally returned. “We’re sorry, but we couldn’t find the arm…” Inga said.
“We searched everywhere but found no blood trails or any other trace of his arm…”Alanna added.
“Shit…I’m sorry…you’re going to be an amputee,” Todoku said coming around with a bowl of herbs to his left side.
Sesshoumaru just closed his eyes. His breathing was a little heavy, but other than that his condition was stable. Todoku rubbed in the crushed herbs to his open wound causing Sesshoumaru to flinch a bit. Todoku then gave her last bit of energy to close the wound for good.
His eyes may have been closed, but he could tell she was over exerting herself to heal him. Todoku panted, “I know what you’re thinking. Demons are powerful enough to heal on their own eventually. Let’s just say I’m speeding up the process for you,”
“Heh…” Sesshoumaru huffed, almost as if he was mocking her. Then he fell unconscious.
“Ah! My lady?” A nurse asked. “He’s slipping!”
“It’s alright, he’s just unconscious. He’s still breathing and heartbeat is okay, let him rest…”
Todoku could use a rest herself. However, she dismissed her nurses back to the hospital and had to crush more herbs for Sesshoumaru’s healing process. She had a long night ahead of her and though she did wish to see him again, seeing him in pain was the last thing she would’ve wished for.
She felt she had no right to rest…
