Author�s Notes: This fic was done as a challenge to an author on aff (kougasmate) and since I haven�t done an �Inuyasha� fic I thought why not? This is only the first chapter so please bear with me. Also I can�t remember the episodes very well. Also, there are gonna be some guess experiences and such but if you guys wanna throw in a suggestion leave it in a review and I�ll think about it. Before I forget this kinda takes place after episodes 39 and 40.

�Broken�

By: Beloved Shadow

For some reason, seeing his rival lying there, a bleeding broken mess would have brought him joy any other day but at that moment� Kouga felt like he desecrated the holy land of his ancestors. Kagura, Naraku�s newest �child� told him that she had set it all up, that she had slaughtered the black wolf clan, that she used the wind to make them attack Inuyasha but she had never expected the wolf prince to break the hanyou in his act of vengeance. He looked at his right hand, the same hand that struck Kagome when she tried to stop him. He hadn�t meant to hit her but all he could see was the hanyou covered in blood.

Wolf blood.

�What have I done?� he asked himself as he fell to his knees but it was only then that he felt the shard in his arm explode. In that moment he knew the shard was apart of Kagura�s trap but he deserved it. He couldn�t help but cry out as the poison rapidly ran through his veins. He dug his claws of his other hand into his arm, hoping to drain the poisoned blood out or something but it was no use and he was rapidly losing his strength but he couldn�t leave the dog demon out here. Summoning the rest of his strength he used the shards embedded in his legs and picked the limp form up.

�What the hell have I done?� he asked as the bleeding body in his arms whimpered in pain. Looking at the female demon he snarled. �Kagura!! This is far from over, you bitch!!� Using all the power in the shards he was off in a whirlwind of dust.

Kagura smirked and lifted her fan, ready to disposable of the girl but at that moment the slayer, monk, neko and fox demons appeared. She watched as they rushed to the fallen miko then looked around. �Lose someone?� she asked coyly.

�Where�s Inuyasha?!� Miroku asked as Sango tried to wake kagome up.

�He�s gone. That little wolf took pity on him and ran off. Such a shame you�re late, you missed quite a show.�

�What are you talking about?!�

�Miroku! Inuyasha�s bleeding and badly!� Shippo said with worry and concern in his young voice.

�It�s time I take my leave.� Kagura smirked and tossing the feather from her hair into the air it transformed into a large feather. Hopping on it she flew off, satisfied that the job here was done. �It�ll be a matter of time.�

--

The wolf clan was restless, pacing the caves back and forth as they awaited the return of their leader. They were expecting his usual whirlwind to suddenly appear but when they heard the piercing howl every clan member and wolf was on their feet. Several ran out as the others waited anxiously but what they saw was something they never would have expected in years.

Kouga was pale and his entire arm was nearly bathed in blood but it was a sickly looking blue-violet color. In his arms though was the half dog demon Inuyasha but he was just as pale as their leader and his silver-white hair was dirty and matted with blood. His clothes also looked torn but stained with blood in various places.

�Kouga, what happened?� Ginta asked.

Kouga was silent, unsure what to say but his body couldn�t take it anymore. He dropped to his knees heavily, the pebbles digging into his skin but he didn�t care. But even in his weakened strength he refused to let go of the half demon.

�� Healer�� he whispered so low that he could barely make it out himself but someone heard it and ran off. Everything after that seemed to go in a blur around him. He remembered the healer, someone taking the mutt from his arms, he had tried to fight them off but the poison in his arm completely numbed it. He was lifted and carried to a cave but just as he was laid on a pile of furs he utterly a single name.

�Inuyasha��

--

The healer looked over the half demon�s body, taking into account the wounds that marked his body. Everything pointed that the boy was raped but who would do such a thing? And despite all the herbs and salve the old wolf put on the wounds there would forever be scars. She looked at the bloodied mess called clothing and figured someone would have to wash them soon. She was an old wolf but wise enough to know not to touch another demon�s weapon and so it lay in the back of her cave.

�My dear child� who has done this to you?� she asked, placing a damp cloth on the boy�s head she turned to get more herbs but a pain whimper met her ears. Turning sharply she saw the boy crying out in his sleep.

�I� I didn�t kill them� stop� please stop�� came the broken cries as tears began to fall freely. �Stop it�!�

The healer grew worried when he began to thrash she went to the entranced of her cave and call in two wolves to help. They came and tried holding the hanyou down but it seemed to make it worse as he tried to escape their touch. The healer moved swiftly, letting some herbs seep in a cup of hot water she had them lift his head.

�Drink child and be at peace,� she coaxed him. He seemed to hear her as he drank some of the tea that it wasn�t long before he drifted back to a dreamless slumber. Waving the wolves off she began to prepare some more tea but a broken sob escaped the boy�s lips.

�Please kouga� stop it��

�Kouga? He did this to you, young one?� It was unheard of but the marks on his body did come from the claws of a demon. A wolf demon she was sure. Setting the tea aside she made sure her quest was as comfortable as could be and went in search of her leader.

Kouga was sitting in the middle of his bed, his hair free from its usual tie he didn�t look up when he heard footsteps nor did he greet the healer as she sat before him. For a long moment both were silent but when he looked u into her forest green eyes he quickly looked back down, ashamed.

�So it�s true,� she said.

�Yes.�

�Why did you do it?�

�It was a trap� and I fell right in.�

�I have warned you time and time again about rushing in recklessly like that but you never listen. Kouga, how could you rape that poor boy?!�

He winced at her tone and seemed to shrink into himself even more. �I didn�t mean to I was so mad when I saw all our brothers, dead and he was there covered in their blood� I wanted vengeance! I wanted him to suffer! I wanted to show him I was better than him and always would be!�

SLAP!

The healer looked at him sternly as the imprint of her hand left a bright red mark on the side of the prince�s face. �Respect your elders, Kouga. What would your father think if he could see you right now? He was one to rush head first into things but he never let his emotions get the better of him. Before he died he told me to watch over you and I have tried but you still refuse to listen.� Getting up she turned to leave but looked at him over her shoulder. �For the boy�s sake, I hope he makes it out of this alive.�

--

Inuyasha watched as the wolf demons fell, puzzled as to why they would fall over but he couldn�t smell anything except their blood. That when he picked up that oh so familiar scent and looked up. Now the hanyou may have been dense but he wasn�t stupid and realized that he had walked right into a trap.

�Prepare to die!!� the prince of the wolf demon tribe yelled before he lunged at him.

�Kouga wait! Damnit I didn�t kill them!� But the wolf refused to listen. Even with his sword it was difficult to dodge the lightning quick strikes. Vaguely he could hear Kagome in the background, trying to reason with him but it was no use. He tried swinging at him but missed and hit the ground when he received a vicious kick in the back. The Tetsusaiga was held tightly in his hand but as soon as he got up he could only watch in shock and anger as Kouga struck Kagome with the back of his hand.

�Stay out of this!� the wolf yelled as her limp body hit the ground. She didn�t get up.

�Kagome� damnit Kouga, you won�t get away with this!!� He yelled, charging at him wildly. He still wasn�t sure what happened but one minute he was fighting, the next he was flat on his back. He tried lighting his sword to block an incoming attack but he was too slow. A fist completely shattered his wrist, making him release his sword but before he could even cry out in the agonizing pain a knee rammed itself so deep into his stomach he was sure it crack his spine. The half-demon struggled to breathe, to roll to the side or something but he couldn�t. A heavy weight was keeping him pinned.

Kouga snarled down at him, please to see him so easily defeated that he looked at his hands. He smirked as his claws extended and without another thought began to tear at the clothing made from that of the sacred fire rat, not bothering to stop when he came to the pale white skin. Crimson blood was split as the claws slashed at the skin that soon the unfortunate half-demon was bathed in it. The wolf prince finally stopped, panting for breathe he couldn�t help but take in the heavy scent of blood. He had beaten his rival, he had avenged his brothers but it wasn�t enough.

He leaned down and spoke into the puppy-like ear. �I beat you in a fight, I proved that I�m better for Kagome, but now it�s time to prove that I will always be the alpha male,� he talk him deeply. Forcing him onto his stomach the prince made some adjustments to his furs, smirking that he found himself ready and willing he pulled the other�s hips up and without any kind of preparation rammed right into him.

Inuyasha let out the most painful and piercing scream he had ever uttered. Even with one wrist broken, no air in his lungs, and weak from the massive blood loss he tried his very best to get away. He heard the growl and a hand forced his face to the ground where the rough gravel dug into his cheek. The more he struggled the more painful it began he just couldn�t take it anymore so with a heavy sob he shut his eyes tightly and prayed for death to come and take him away but not before he heard those words that haunted every part of his being.

"This is what you get for killing my brothers! From this day on you will bear the scars of defeat, defeat cause by my hands. But not only that, I gave you the worse kind of humiliation a demon or human has ever had. You are broken and my revenge is now complete.�

The half demon whimpered in his sleep, tears making their way down his cheeks he felt a hand lightly stroke his cheek he feared it was the wolf prince the scent was different. It reminded him of the old miko that he forced his eyes open to a mere crack. �K-Kaede�?� he asked weakly, thinking he was in the village he considered home.

The woman smile and gently brushed his hair back. �Rest child, you are safe in my care,� she said softly.

�� Nothing was said but as he drifted back to slumber but this time the nightmares didn�t come to attack. The healer sighed and stood, her old bones popping softly she sighed and took her time in walking to the mouth of her cave. She had been the pack healer for as long as she remember, she even had a hand in raising the current pack leader but what had happened she had every right to slap him and felt tempted to go over there right now and give him a matching hand print on the other side of his face. Through weary eyes she watched as wolves and demons went about their business. Times were changing but she had to continue living for a few more years before she could find a suitable student to pass on her skills.

�One day�� she sighed and decided to go about getting some food. Her age showed in her appearance but just because she was old didn�t mean she was weak. Thinking back on her past she was glad that Kouga had taken down their past leader everyone was thrilled. Their pack was happier but right now she was not so proud for him. Blinking she held up her hands and caught the ball that had been straight for her head.

Several of the young demons and wolf cubs looked at her sheepishly. �Sorry Lotus-sama!� they said as one, bowing in respect.

�Be careful young ones,� she smiled and tossed the ball back to them. She watched them for a moment and continued her way.

The women were working hard at their chores, making sure birds stayed out of their gardens, cooking the meat the men hunted for, washing clothes while keeping a watchful eye on their cubs. Regardless what others thought it was the women that kept the pack together. Yes men did the hunting, cleaning, and fighting but the women did everything else. She smiled as she heard their gossiping.

�I see that even as our land changes the habit of story-swapping will never fade,� she said gaining their attention.

�Lotus-san!!� they said happily.

�What brings you from your cave?� a young mother asked.

�To stretch my legs and hear the latest gossip.� Going to where some of the women were cooking the meat she closed her eyes and took a deep breathe. �Mmm this will certainly be a most delicious dinner for your mates.�

�They had better be grateful!� another female snapped. �We work our fingers to the bone and they never say thank you!�

�Men will always be like that there is no use is trying to change it,� another female said, the lines on her face showing her years.

�She speaks the truth. May as well let men think they are in charge while it is us that keep the pack together. Besides,� the healer winked as she smiled, �let them find the time to wash their own clothes, cook their own food, tend to the gardens, clean the dens and watch the cubs as they hunt and fight. They will crawl back to us, begging for us to keep the pack together.�

The women laughed and became at ease. Lotus took some food for herself and her healing guest to her cave, taking care not to burn herself but just as she was nearing her home her ears picked up a fearful cry. She hurried as fast as she could and nearly dropped the bowls of stew in her hands. Frowning angrily she quickly set them on a table and grabbed her leader by the ears, pulling him out.

�Oow Lotus, let go!� Kouga whined like a young cub.

�Out out out this instant! I told you to leave him alone!� she growled, pulling him down to her level. �You have done enough damage to him.�

�I came to apologize,� he said meekly.

�A little late for that. If I see you around my cave I will pluck every hair from your tail until it is as bald as a rat�s.� Releasing his ear she watched with steely eyes as he slinked back to his cave, tail between his legs. Releasing the breathe she was holding she went inside her cave and slowly approached the healing hanyou.

The boy was sitting up but his arms were wrapped around his waist, blankets clutched in his hands tightly. His skin was pale and his breathing was harsh but his body visibly shook. Moving slowly and carefully she sat knelt at his side. Reaching out she slowly rested her hand on his and waited until he looked up at her.

�He�s gone,� she said softly. �He won�t come in here without my permission. Do you think you can eat something?�

�... Why are you helping me?� he asked softly.

�It�s my oath as a healer to help those in my pack that are hurt. Now, are you hungry? I have some food.� She gestured to the food at the table. He nodded slowly she smiled and went to get the food. Sitting at his side once more she handed him the bowl and held her own. �So, your name is Inuyasha, right?� she asked.

The half-demon nodded and took a sip. �This is good. Who made it?�

�The females of the pack. While the men go run off to hunt and fight the women make sure everything is kept in order. One of the many tasks is cooking.�

�And you�re the healer.� She nodded and he was silent, enjoying the food. It was good and had lots of flavor. It was even better than the ramen that Kagome brought from her time. Done with the bowl he took the bread that was offered and began to clean his bowl.

Lotus smiled but didn�t say anything as she ate her own bread. When he was done she came him a mug of cold spring water and checked his bandages. She changed the ones around his chest and stomach, seeing how the scare had torn the wounds even more. Setting the soiled bandages to be washed she watched as he began to drift back to sleep. She let him and made sure he was completely asleep before taking the dishes and bandages.

The females offered to clean them for her so she decided to see how the pack leader was doing. She headed up to the caves, passing by the other pack members, but arriving at the caves he wasn�t there. Thinking about it she headed to the front where the waterfalls hid the entrance to their caves and found Ginta and Hakkaku with several wolves standing as a watch out but the two demons were sleeping. Lotus sighed and walked up to them, being as quiet as possible.

The wolves lifted their heads and wagging their tails got up to greet her. They licked at her hands as she knelt to their level, petting them and telling them how happy to see how healthy they were. They kept quiet when she moved up to stand before the demons and shouted as loud as she could in their ears. If the wolves had the ability they would be laughing at the two demons who were so startled they fell off the cliff and into the water below.

�Why does Kouga insist on leaving you two to be guards if all you do is sleep?� the healer called down to them.

�I wasn�t sleeping I was resting my eyes!� Ginta protested.

�I could barely sleep with your snoring!� Hakkaku yelled.

�Oh yeah?!�

�Yeah!�

�Oh yeah?!?�

�Yeah!!�

A small sweatdrop ran down the back of her head as the two demons tried to beat the other up. Turning to the wolves she gestured down below. �Tell me if one of them drowns.� They barked and she turned to leave but turned to them again. �Do you know where Kouga is?� All she got was some whines with an occasional bark but she understood it all. Giving them her thanks she headed to where he was located.

--

Kouga looked at his reflection before tossing another pebble, watching as the ripples distorted his images but when it clamed he tossed another in. He had been doing this since the pack healer Lotus has chased him away. He just wanted to apologize but when he saw the mutt sleeping he watched him. Even in his sleep he seemed like he was trying outrun the dreams. When he reached out to try to wake him up he woke up. Golden eyes fell on his that in fear he pulled back. Terrified of him and what he could do in his weaken state. He had just wanted to apologize, not hurt him.

�He was innocent and I didn�t believe him�� he said to himself and buried his head in his hands. �I�m not fit to be pack leader!�

�I wouldn�t say that,� came a worn voice.

The prince looked up at the healer then back at the water. �I never meant to scare him. I just wanted to apologize.�

�Is that so. What happened before I came back?� she asked as she stood behind him.

�I think he was having a nightmare� he was whimpering, pleading for me to stop that he didn�t kill our brothers� I want to wake him up, to say how wrong I was but before I could touch him he woke up. His eyes� they didn�t shine with his stubborn pride they were� shattered. I was the one to shattered that part of him� gods I was so stupid! I should have just left after I beat him but I had to humiliate him! I made everything worse but I didn�t mean for it to go that far! Damn Kagura!! Damn her and Naraku to the deepest pit of hell!!!� he yelled, bringing his fist down as hard as he could. The rock broke under the punch but his bandages began to get soaked with his blood.

�Sshhh little prince, take it easy before you shatter your arm completely,� she said into his ear as she sat next to him, taking his injured arm in her hands. Pulling out a roll of clean bandages she undid the soiled one and wrapped it up after cleaning it. While she worked she hummed under her breathe a simple lullaby. Kouga listen and he did one think he hadn�t done since he was a little cub. He curled up with his head in her lap as she stroked his hair. Closing his eyes he tried to hold it in but the tears fell as his shoulders shook.

Lotus was surprised. Even as a child he never shed tears but here he was, crying right before her eyes and she knew it wasn�t from injuring his arm again. She began to sing the song one more but this time her voice carried the words softly.

�Gone in a glance,

Gotta lose those fields behind.

Wrap up in lies!

We stand for boyishness.

I wanna live at last!

Until we find the way!

Searching for the light,

Before eternity...
�The passing,

The changing,

Moving around,

The colors of the sky.

To remain the same,

As we use to know.

Every single day...

Could we?

Still have seen it if where there?

Could we still have seen it everywhere, Madden?
�Gone in a glance,

Gotta lose those fields behind.

Wrap up in lies!

We stand for boyishness.

I wanna live at last!

Until we find the way!

Searching for the light,

Before eternity...�

Kouga was fast asleep before the last verse but the healer didn�t dare move. She continued to stroke his hair as she thought about the past and what the future held. Hopefully with time, Inuyasha would get better but for now she would do the best she could. For him and Kouga.

�My little prince� may the gods have mercy on the future�� she prayed as she looked into the sky.

--

It was several days later before Lotus let Inuyasha out of her caves. His wounds had long healed but he was still weak and shaken a bit. It had taken some coaxing but she wanted to introduce him to the females that kept the pack together. He was still nervous but agreed. Donning his fire rat clothes and even putting his sword in his belt he was led to the caves in the back where the females stayed and worked. Lotus had told the females that he had been injured badly and to be nice to their guest. They agreed.

The females were doing their chores that when the duo arrive they all fell silent. Normally Inuyasha would have asked what they were staring at but he was nervous. All that kept him from running off was the gentle grip on his arm. He willed himself to calm down.

�Ladies, this is Inuyasha. Inuyasha, meet the demonesses and wolves that keep this pack together,� the healer smiled. The half-demon nodded his head in greeting and the ladies smiled. Lotus made quick introduces and together they sat.

�So Inuyasha, we�re heard about you from Kouga but he didn�t say how cute you were!� one young demoness said while looking at him adoringly.

�Don�t even think about it, Yuki.�

�Um we don�t see eye-to-eye,� he said softly.

�He may be our leader but he�s still a young pup that needs to respect his elders!� another said as she turned the spit.

�But our old leader was so cruel! Kouga is a wonderful leader!� another said.

�Yes but he can be so reckless at times, leaving the pack to go after more shards,� another sighed. �He should pick a mate and have a family of his own!�

�You know Kouga, he doesn�t want to be burden with one, or so he says that it would interfere with his fighting and pack leader business. He also said that he didn�t need one since there were still unmated females in the pack.�

�How dare he!� one snarled and slapped the wet furs against the rock she was using rather hard. �We wash the furs, cook the food, watch the pups, and clean the dens. All they do is fight and hunt!�

�They protect us too,� another tried to reason.

�Hai I understand that but still it�s hard to clean his dens when we have our own mates and pups to look after. Maybe he should try washing his own furs, cook his own food, and clean his own den,� she snorted but when back to washing the furs and setting them out to dry.

Inuyasha looked confused but said nothing. He enjoyed their company and it was funny to hear the gossip about their mates and such. He felt as ease with them that he even offered to help. They were taken back, saying that a man had never offered to assist them.

�It�s the least I can do for what you�ve done for me,� he answered with a slight blush on his face. From that moment on the women, demoness and wolf alike, took an instant liking to the half-demon.

As dusk fell those with mates took their clean furs and food to their dens where their mates would be waiting. Children and pups followed their mothers and those that were unmated took the food to the main den where unmated males ate and slept. Inuyasha and Lotus took the clean furs and food to be eaten at the den.

�The women have taken a liking to you,� the healer smiled.

�What makes you say that?� the young man asked.

�You befriended them without realizing it. Men of the pack don�t spent time with the women even those that are mated. Today you listened as they spoke and helped out when you didn�t have too. Even though you�re not a wolf they would gladly accept you within the pack.�

�But doesn�t the leader decide that?�

�Hai but Kouga was the one to bring you here in the first place.�

�Yeah��

�Is something wrong?�

�I�m just wondering how the others are doing?�

�Others?�

�I guess you could call them my pack. I haven�t seen them and I�m wondering, if they�re alright.�

�If you like I can ask Kouga to-�

�No! I don�t want to even see him!� For a moment he looked ready to bolt. His skin was white, his eyes wide, and his grip on the basket tightened.

�Okay you don�t have to see him! Relax, it�s okay.� Coaxing him to relax they entered the den and ate in silence. Inuyasha slept on a pile of furs that was his bed as Lotus went to her own. He was still shaken up rather badly even the mere mention of her leader�s name was enough to send him into a nervous panic. Settling down she drifted to sleep but in the middle of the night she was awaken when the nightmare struck.

Inuyasha cried out, begging for the wolf prince to stop. Lotus tried to wake him up before he hurt himself but he wouldn�t listen. Fearing the worse she held onto him, telling him over and over to wake up. It worked and he fell apart in her arms, sobbing almost hysterical. She held him as a mother would comfort a child after a bad dream. Looking up some of the pack was standing outside her cave, wondering if everything was alright but when Kouga pushed his way in the half-demon went stiff. When he came up to them and reached out to touch him he shied away, clinging even tighter to the healer.

�Kouga, I want you to go and find this boy�s pack,� lotus said quietly as she ran her fingers through Inuyasha�s silver white hair. �I don�t care how long it takes but go find them and bring them here.�

�You want me to bring strangers into our caves?� he asked in disbelief.

�Hai.�

�I know where I can find them but I won�t bring them here. I will not let you endanger this pack.�

�Because of your recklessness you nearly killed this boy! Fine then, tomorrow you are taking both of us to where his pack are,� she growled at him.

�Are you crazy?! What happens if we need you here?! I�ll take him you stay here,� he ordered.

�In this condition? At the mere mention of your name he goes into a panic! If you don�t have an escort ready for us at dawn then I will find them myself.� The pack watched as the healer and leader had a stare-down but in the end the healer won. They quickly moved out of the way hen Kouga came out and looking at the stern look of the healer left her alone.

Inuyasha was still clinging to her tightly but Lotus didn�t mind. Wrapping the furs around him she softly hummed the song she sang to Kouga earlier to him. Even as she drifted to sleep she continued to hold him and sing to him. Maybe his friends could help him heal but he couldn�t stay here forever. She just hoped it worked or all would be for naught.

--

The next morning several demons and wolves escorted the pack healer Lotus and half-demon Inuyasha through the forest. Once they reached Kaede�s village they would come back but until then they would protect the duo. Kouga watched from his perch atop the waterfall. He wanted to go but when he had confronted the half demon he went stiff. When he tried to talk to him he got silence so he tired bating him into a fight. Still silence he was so upset he held him to the rocky walls, demanding he said something but all the dog-demon do was turn his head to the side, baring his throat. It was the same way a beta would show her submission to the alpha male.

�I�m sorry�� he said sadly even as a tear slowly rolled down his face.
Author�s Notes: So what did you think? I was gonna make it longer but that�s what chapters are for. The song is from the series. It�s the 2nd ending theme song �Fukai Mori (Deep Forest)�. You know the one where it shows Sessy? And yes I will include him but later. But like I said in the beginning any suggestions go ahead and let me know. This is my first time writing an Inu fic so, well just be kind. Flames will be ignored and not even bothered with. They aren�t worth the time or effort.
