The healer was further away in the castle than InuYasha assumed it would be and the walk, a long one. According to Mioga, it was necessary, as the scents of the healing herbs, poultices and occasionally rancid smells from illness was simply not permitted to reach the royal wing. He did his best to focus on his inability to pick up on any of these scents even though they were likely over half way there. He had hoped that his agitation over the length of his journey and the hopeless knowledge that if he were in fact a full yoki the smells of the healers chambers would already be annoying his sensitive nose, would keep his mind off the bigger problems in his life. Unfortunately, it didn't work for long.

InuYasha began to fidget as they grew closer to the healers quarters, ears twitching nervously and breath coming perceivably shorter in anxiety. Mioga could not help but pick up on his young charges distress. "calm down InuYasha. I promise you that the healer is more than trustworthy and kind."

The boy's breath sped up slightly, his hands clenching. "It's not that Mioga."

"Then what's bothering you this much? You aren't the kind to scare esilly."

"I'm not scared, alright? It's just..."

"What InuYasha"

The boy crossed his arms, his body going ridged and his gaze determined "I don't think I'm ready to be a father."

Mioga simply stared at the boy for a moment before answering, "Mother."

"What?"

"I said mother InuYasha."

InuYasha looked to the flea on his shoulder, glaring menacingly "I'm gonna be a father ya damn flea, I'm a man for kami's sake!"

"You are still just a boy InuYasha, and Sesshomaru is the father. As the bearer, you will be it's mother."

the Furry eared youth snatched the flea off his shoulder, squeezing him repeatedly between his fingers as he glared daggers, ignoring his retainers please for mercy "now *squish* listen "Squish* here! *Squissshhh* I am a man! *squish, squish, squish* Not some weak little woman! *squish* I refuse to be called a mother by anyone. It's just not right!"

Before he had a chance to violently flick the flea into the nearby wall, the door he obliviously stood in front of slid open, revealing a calmly woman. The front half of her chocolate brown hair was tied up with a simple paper tie in something like a topknot, allowing the rest to fall down her back. she wore a simple black kimono with vibrant green bamboo patterns adorning it and a black obi; layered on top was a simple white apron. InuYasha's head shot up quickly at the newcomer before tilting his head down to allow his bangs to hide his embarrassment at being caught by this stranger having what could only be described at a tantrum. To make matters worse, thy young hanyo was certain that she heard the whole conversation considering she undoubtedly belonged to one of the Inu tribes given her natural scent lingering under the heavy smells of herbs and other remedies she wore like a perfume.

"Now what, may I ask has brought such a commotion to my door today?" the woman spoke with a smile and a soft tone as she preceded to wipe her hands on her apron.

At the tone of her voice, the boy calmed minutely, letting his shoulders relax as he looked away slightly and breathed. "I was just headed to see the healer." he spoke, his tone sounding tired even to himself.

"Well then, You've come to the right place!" her voice was cheery as she nodded in greeting, " I am the castle healer, Rikuyo. Come inside, and tell me what ails you." she said as she moved out of the doorway to allow the young man to enter.

Before entering, InuYasha raised his hand up to his face, giving one final glare to his retainer before flicking him off onto the neighboring wall with a huff. He continued forward in his normal gruff manor, hiding any sense of vulnerability behind the mask of a fighter.

Once inside, Rikuyo gently closed the screen behind him, soft smile painted on her face. "Please, make yourself comfortable" she spoke as she motioned him further into the room with a delicate sweeping motion.

Inuyasha stared at her a moment before shuffling ahead. The room was not large by any means. perhaps half the size of Keide's hut, but so packed with items that it felt tiny and cramped by comparison. there were large built in shelving full of everything from scrolls and odd containers to collections of plant matter and strange selections of animal and demon body parts on display. there were trunks and other means of storage seemingly stacked atop each other and a large solid oak desk nestled into the far corner, further storage built up around the massive piece. the only seats were the western style chair setting in front of the desk, and a bench that could snugly fit two, built into the wall and fitted with plush mauve cushions opposite the desk. Setting between those two seats stood a wooden door.

Straitening up a bit from his hunched stance, he took a deep breath before walking over to the cushioned bench and plopping down unceremoniously. The healer was smiling sweetly at him, her hands folded within her sleeves as she calmly walked over to her own seat, pulling it around to face him before gracefully seating herself. "Now tell me, What ails you Master InuYasha."

"Heh... So you know who I am. I guess it's the ears right? Sure sign I'm the old mans bastard son?"

The dog healer sweetly tilted her head to the side, brows slightly rising as her smile took a slightly mischievous turn; "Actually, no. Considering the rumors that have been circling the castle, I assumed your identity based on the heavy scent of our lord that you wear."

The boys eyes bulged, as he began to hack and sputter. This was not the sort of reply he had expected.

Rikuyo sat forward in her chair, face taking a more serious look (though no less pleasant) as she spoke, I did not mean to surprise you so with my reply. It was simply the truth. To be honest, I do not find your ears all that unusual. Such traits are not unusual amongst my own clan."

So tell me InuYasha, what brought you to my door today?

InuYasha left the healers personal office deep in thought. There had been much they had discussed, far more than the simple medical check up. It seems that the healer had noticed the boy was drowning in his new surroundings, and Rikuyo was the kind of person to do her best to throw out a life line. It didn't hurt that she was an Inu herself, and that her personality reminded him of Kagome on a good day. No... that's not exactly right, Kagome was never so patient and understanding with InuYasha even on the best of days. To be fair she reminded him more of his own mother. After so many years without her presence in his life, his memories of Iziyoi were few and far between making it hard to put together a picture of the woman from the tattered remnants of her he held dear. It was more of a feeling that connected the two in his mind like being wrapped safely in a warm blanket while watching a storm brewing outside your window, a sort of safety and understanding the hanyo had hardly known in his life.

Of course, the first thing they had dealt with was the topic of pregnancy followed closely by mating, pair bonding, familial relationships amongst InuYoki, the royal clans traditions and a bit of old history (InuYasha's own to be specific). It felt strangely relaxing to get so much off his chest and another persons input who didn't have some sort of ulterior motive. At least she didn't seem to and InuYasha was willing to give her the reason of a doubt until she proved him wrong. Needless to say, with so much new information swimming in his head, everything he thought he knew about his life was up for reinterpretation and evaluation. Well, except the un-mother. that was still a dick move on his brothers part in his book.

So now, with nothing better to do, he wondered through the halls hardly aware of his surroundings as he rolled every idea over in his head for novel idea's and insight; That is until in his absentmindedness, he managed to step on a certain tiny green retainer, causing him to send out a earsplitting high pitch squawk as inuYasha preceded to fall on his ass from losing his balance on the uneven surface.

"Oh the Indignity!" the green toad belted out with his annoyingly high pitched voice. "How dare you be so cruel to your lords most trusted servant?! And when I was even trying excruciatingly hard to seem polite to the likes of you? Were You even Listening to me han... *cough cough* Oh the tortures my lord puts my through, why oh why did he chose to accept the likes of him into his noble home!? And to send me to go fetch him... Oh Lord Sesshomaru, what have I done to deserve such cruelty!?"

InuYasha sat up, staring daggers into the annoying slimy green kiss ass. (at least that's how he thought of his brothers 'loyal retainer') His eyes twitched noticeably as the little imp continued on his tirade. The hanyo gave out a huff and folded his arms before speaking "So my brother decided to keep a little piss ant like you around past your usefulness huh Jacken? Guess my brother believes in charity cases after all. So what the hell are you ranting on about?"

The toads mood seemed to widely swing between shock, anger, superiority, disgust and finally despair before he managed to force himself into a highly exaggerated, overly forced show of proper decorum, pulling himself high and proud as he spoke. "My Lord Sesshomaru requests an audience with you within his personal study at this very instant. It is my duty to see to it that you reach my lord in a timely manner." The words were tight, and InuYasha could see a part of the little imps soul dying at having to speak so formally to a mere 'hanyo'.

Inuyasha chuckled to himself as he got up from his seated position. Yah, he could get offended at the retainers behavior, but the end result was just to hilarious to even care. Seriously, it seemed like the little pest sprained something with that little display. So instead of hitting the imp like he deserved, inuyasha bent over and rubbed the little guys head as he passed by. "I gotcha. You don't have to worry about showing me the way, I know where I'm going." the squeak that came out of the kappa's mouth was priceless, and the things eyes seemed to bulge out of his head, leaving the little guy stuttering in InuYasha's wake. Well, Kagome did tell him to 'kill them with kindness,' maybe there was something to that after all.
