Blood and Fur {for Animefangirl}

[Dark Raven]

Sasha was about to nod as Renji declared that he was going to get her something for the pain as she was eager for it to stop, it was making everything a whole lot harder on her, the fact Renji moved so.. inhuman, his strange ways, his family and intimidating parents.. the way Nisha looked at her, her foster father beating her and being killed by her new boyfriend, it was enough to drive her near the edge of sanity and being able to comprehend it all. Looking between the trio and the little girl she wasn't sure what to think of it all, the fact Nisha had that strange look in her eyes made her even more tense and the anger in the room frightened her. There was no trace left of her spunk at this moment and she was partially wishing she could run off and hide somewhere safer. Of course Renji made her feel safe, when he held her, but right now he didn't seem like the safest place either. The fact that his mother seemed to insist he and his father talked things out made her wonder just what had passed, all the while realizing that he was to leave her by herself with the woman and girl. The announcement of Renji going punished made her frown and give him a strange look since she thought that wasn't going to be a lecture by the sounds of it.

Bael was more than willing to talk things out, but he wasn't going to do that with Sasha there, she had no business being a part of it and he was still more than irked that she was to be a part of anything other than a pool of blood on the floor. Still he saw that she meant a great deal to Renji and this alone was the reason she was still drawing a breath at this point. As Renji was about to walk of he too was about to protest against this as he found it far more important to deal with the matter than Sasha's pain, he really couldn't care less if she was. Being beat to the punch by Eshita he held his tongue instead and let the woman speak her piece before nodding in silence at her words. He gave her a reassuring look to say 'I will' when he saw the look she gave him and turned to Renji. "Believe me, that is not what I am planning." he informed Eshita as she said that he wasn't to ground the teen, he by now knew that this would work against all of them too and that was the last thing he wanted. Ushering Renji out then he lead the boy to his bedroom and closed the door behind him.

Nisha wasn't pleased that she was held back, but as Eshita explained why she simmered down and turned to look at Sasha over her shoulder, taking a good look at the girl. She was willing to leave her alone since she didn't want to upset Renji if she was indeed important to him. But she was also just a little one and her urges and senses were just not that controlled yet. She was trying however, and that's all she could at this moment. Listening to Eshita's words spoken to her father and brother she looked between them not able to help herself but hope that they indeed talked it out and made peace since she hated how they had fought each other.

Renji grimaced again when Bael confirmed that he wasn't intending on grounding him for this one, which he of course knew meant that he was getting spanked but that didn't surprise him in the least the only thing he was left wondering was how badly. He glanced at Sasha then and saw the frown and the look she gave him and he sort of grinned ruefully before walking over to her and resting his hand gently on the side of her face that was not bruised, "It'll be alright. I'll be back in a little bit and Mother will get you something to help with the pain when she fixes you up" He said softly, waiting for her to say something if she were going to before letting Bael usher him out of the room and lead the way to his bedroom. He of course was less than thrilled about that and his steps were dragging like he was on his way to his execution instead of a uncomfortable talk and a painful punishment but he did sort of realize that he deserved it after he behaved. He was't sorry he'd done it since he would have ended up in trouble for refusing to stay away from Sasha anyway, but he was unhappy that he'd let his anger get the better of him and challenged his dad and he'd feel worse about that if he knew it hurt Bael that he had done it. When they got there he walked inside and turned to look at the man as his door was shut behind him, the teen sort of wary at this point but he was back to his normal submissive behavior when he was in trouble and his head was slightly bowed and his shoulders slightly slumped forward. He was not afraid of his dad, but he was aware that he was in trouble and he was trying to show his dad that he was going to be good and not challenge his authority, so that was why he took the submissive posture as he waited to see what Bael would say to him.

Eshita nodded and her features finally softened a bit when Bael gave her the reassuring 'I will' look and she smiled ever so slightly at him in response. She looked over at her son as he went to reassure the human and tilted her head slightly as she watched them, interested to see Renji being so tender and gentle with someone since that just wasn't like him and it added further proof that he cared deeply for this girl. When the men were gone she looked at the human girl before looking at Nisha who still looked as if she wanted to bite the human girl but for the moment she was resisting that urge and Eshita smiled at her for it. "Good job, child." She praised, kissing her daughters forehead before sighing and looking at Renji's human. "Stay here, I will be back shortly" She said to Sasha as she swept out of the room and carried Nisha down to her playroom. "Mother wants you to stay here and play for a bit Nisha, I will come and get you after I've cleaned the human up a bit but I do not want her blood tempting you because Renji will be very sad if you lose control and hurt her." She explained, setting the little girl down and kneeling in front of her as she waited to see what Nisha would say.

[Dark Raven]

Sasha was easing up just a little when Renji went to touch the side of her face and basically reassure her before watching him leave, folling his father. She was on edge and didn't at all liked to be left but she wasn't about to protest or make a scene, not until she had all this sorted out and it made more sense to her. That took a lot of effort on her part however as she was on the verge of freaking out completely.

Nisha was pleased that Eshita was praising her and this further made her determined to resist the urges she was feeling, just to please her parents, and partially because she was starting to see for herself that Renji cared a lot about this human. She was too young to funny understand this relation between the two but enough to know she was off bounds. Despite her squabbles with her sibling she did care a great deal about her brother and this would only become more so as she grows up. Smiling at Eshita as she was praised and kissed on the head Nisha clung to her mother and glanced over to Sasha as Eshita spoke to her. Not protesting when taken out of the room the girl was curious to see where she was being taken and frowned when she saw it was her play room. As she was explained things by the woman she was quick to nod and looked around to decide what she was going to use to entertain herself with. As picking some coloring books and her pencils and climbing on to a chair at the table in the middle of the room she looked back to Eshita. "Is that human staying with us now?" she asked more than curious, as that would mean she'd be around all the time from now on.

As Bael had Renji in his room and had closed the door the man stood there simply looking at him for a moment or two before walking over in fast paces and gripped his rather tightly by his shoulders, pulling him into a bear hug. "Don't you ever ever do that again Renji. EVER." he said in a stern and demanding tone, but it had a hint of fear and emotion in it. Resting his chin on top of Renji's head he just wanted to hold his son for a while as he been genuinely scared that he had lost his only son after the fight they had. Staying silent for quite some time while keeping a firm hold on Renji, partially because he wanted to reassure him, and part because he himself needed it. After this he pulled away and looked down at the teen. "We're never to repeat that you hear me? This is not how a family should act. And while your behavior was outrageous ..... so was mine." he stated, taking his part of the blame of the fight as this was only fair in his eyes. "So I am sorry, and hope that you can forgive me son. I shouldn't have acted this judgemental before even knowing the full story. That doesn't mean that your behavior was okay though, but we will deal with that in a moment. I just found it far more important to talk it out before getting there." Bael explained as his face softened a little.

[animefangirl]

Eshita was pleased with her daughters show of restraint but she also knew that Nisha was a very young demon girl and her control was not that great so she thought it was best to get her away from the human until she did not smell quite as strongly of blood. So she carried her daughter downstairs and rubbed her back as the girl clung to her since she knew that Nisha likely was still upset over everything that had happened earlier and she wanted to reassure her that things were alright. When they reached the girls playroom she explained to her that she had to stay here and smiled when Nisha nodded and then obediently went to her table to color, the woman walking over to sit beside her daughter as the girl asked if Sasha was staying with them. "I have to discuss it with your father, but most likely yes she will be. Which means that you are not allowed in the same room with her without your father, me or Renji there. It's not because I think you will try to be naughty and hurt her, but if she happens to get a paper cut or scrapes her knee or something the smell may get the better of your self control. Alright?" She said, reaching over to pet the little girls head as she spoke to let Nisha know she was not upset with her she was just doing this for the humans sake so Renji did not lose the fool creature he'd apparently become quite smitten with.

Renji wasn't sure what to expect when he got to his room, though he did sort of think Bael would just toss him over his lap and start smacking away, so he was startled when instead his father grabbed him tightly and then pulled him into a bear-hug. He went stiff in Baels arms for a moment, surprised by the action, but then he relaxed and wrapped his own arms around his father as he rested his head on Bael's chest since he was just as upset about what happened earlier and he needed this reassurance as much as his dad did apparently. He whined when he heard the man telling him to never do it again, the forceful way he was speaking getting the submissive whine out of the teen as he ducked his head a bit and nodded since he didn't really want to do it again anyway and he could understand why Bael was so upset because he was too just not to the same extent since he did not fully understand just how much he'd hurt his father with his challenge. After that he just leaned against the man and let himself be held for as long as Bael wanted to, the teen liking the contact just as mush as his dad but he was sort of ready to get the talk out of the way by the time Bael started speaking again. He lifted his head from his father's chest to listen as the man lectured him and he nodded when asked the 'you hear me' part since he heard it loud and clear. "Yes sir" He said softly, back to being the respectful version of himself that he normally was. He was shocked when Bael actually went on to apologize to him then, but it did make him feel a lot better since it let him know his dad realized he had done it partially because Bael was being unfair to him. "I forgive you Father, and I'm sorry too. I don't even know why I did that" he said softly, which was true since just like that stunt he got into a lot of trouble for a week earlier he hadn't consciously decided to challenge the man he'd just given into his wolf instincts when he saw Bael as a threat to his relationship with Sasha. "I don't really want to leave the pack" he added, tears coming to his eyes as he said it since the thought was painful and he never wanted to be so removed from his family. Maybe in another hundred years he woudl be ready to go off with Sasha and start his own pack but that wouldn't mean he wasn't still a part of Bael's he'd just be living apart from him they would still be family forever.

[Dark Raven]

As Nisha was sitting at the table and asked about Sasha she tilt her head slightly as Eshita answered her question on the matter. She wasn't entirely sure what to make of it yet so she didn't really make up her mind if she was against or for Sasha staying there. As told that she wasn't allowed in the same room without supervision she nodded slightly, showing that it was clear to her, not that she was all that pleased but she had a pretty good idea of why this was as it was explained and did her best to understand it."Yes mommy." she was quick to say and looked down at the paper before her, starting to focus her attention on coloring. She was still very much upset and will be for the rest of the day at least, but for now she was calm enough to try and entertain herself a little while Eshita would tend to Sasha.


Bael was pleased that after Renji had stiffened he was hugging him back and wanted to offer the reassurance and comfort he thought the teen needed, just as much as he himself did. Perhaps not quite in the same way or the same extend but it was close enough. Pleased to say the least when he heard Renji say yes sir to his words instead of more protests and arguing as he really didn't want to be fighting with his son any time soon again. Had he known just how much his apology was appreciated it would have served to make him feel relieved and pleased with this. Whether or not it was going to be accepted he offered it anyway and left it up to Renji to decide what to do with it. It wasn't like he could force him to forgive him, that was Renji's choice, just as much as it was his if he were to forgive Renji too. As he said that he forgave him and that he was sorry too before confessing that he didn't know why he did so Bael actually grinned and chuckled softly. "I do. You're protecting your mate." he stated then watched him for a moment before adding "How am I when it comes to your mother being threatened?" He was asking because it was the best way to explain it in his eyes. As he said that he didn't want to leave the pack and tears actually formed Bael was quick to grab him by the jaw firmly but not to hurt him. "You won't. We would never turn our backs on you son, ever. Not me, and not your mother either." he stated in a serious tone, wanting to make that perfectly clear to the kid.

Eshita smiled when Nisha obediently acknowledged her order, the woman kissing the child's forehead again before standing, "Good, I have to fix the human now I will be back soon" She said, petting her daughters head again before going to find the first aid kit and returning to Sasha. She sat across from the girl and opened the first aid kit, taking out the things she needed and then gently gripped Sasha's chin in her hand to tilt her head up and carefully dab at her lip. "My son is very taken with you. He risked everything that is important to him tonight just so he could get to you, you better not take that for granted and hurt him" She said, her voice having gone cold as she made her warning since she knew what modern girls were like and how flighty they were and she did not want Sasha dumping her son when hew as willing to abandon his family and everything he knew just to be with her. of course she knew that Sasha couldn't understand that but she didn't care she issued the threat anyway since she was pissed off. Her hand was gentle on the humans face though as she carefully cleaned her up then released her to tend to her other wounds and then finally hand her a potent pain pill and some water she'd brought. "here, take this, it will make you sleep most likely but it will take away the pain fairly quickly" She said as she held the pill out to the girl.

Renji was not about to hold a grudge against Bael for his actions when Renji himself had retaliated by hurting his dad as well, so he was quick to accept his father's apology and then offer up his confused words about his actions and he smiled slightly when Bael told him he was protecting his mate, liking hearing Sasha referred to that way by his father. When he went on to bring up how he acted with Eshita the teen nodded, reassured by aels words since he'd seen the man tear hunters apart who tried to do anything to Eshita. A few moments later he said he didnt' want to be away from the pack and he was a bit surprised when hsi dad gripped his chin but it didn't hurt so he didnt' pull away he just let Bael tilt his head up and he listened as the man assured him that they would never turn his back on Renji. That made him feel a lot better and he smiled and nodded, leaning his head against his dad's chest again, "Okay" he said softly, not the best response in the world that he could have given but there was clear relief in his voice and he sounded more sure of his position in the family again so Bael's assurance had worked. He stayed like that for a few moments then pulled back a bit and gave his dad a sort of frightened look. "It gonna be like last time?" he asked miserably

[Dark Raven]

Nisha offered Eshita a smile as pet on her head once more and completely focused on her coloring at that point, hearing the woman leave the room and let out a soft sigh with that. She wasn't pleased that there would be yet another person in the house, but she wasn't oblivious to see how Renji was towards this human. And since she knew she had no say in things like that, especially if her parents ok'd it, she really had no other option than to make the best of it. Though as little as she was, she decided for herself that Sasha was not allowed to touch her things .. or her for that matter. That much she thought she at least could make sure of. Not that she expected her parents to be thrilled should the human attempt to touch their daughter. At least Nisha hoped that this was the case.

Sasha was already on edge and as she was left behind in the now empty room, she took her chance to glance around to pass the time while Eshita seemingly tended to her daughter. Not sure what to make of the little one she was at least determined to stay away from her until she was more sure about what was going on. As she saw Eshita reappear she tensed up more and eyed the strange woman with a wary look. Looking down at the first aid kit it seemed that the woman was genuine about her intentions to take care of her wounds, though something about her was not quite right. She listened in silence as the woman spoke up, not really sure what the right way was to respond to this, and the cold tone she had send chills down her spine. Contemplating what the right words were, not wanting to say the wrong thing, if there even was a right thing to say at this point. It was just so damn confusing, and the longer she was near them, the more questions she had. Though as Eshita went to offer her a pain killer she was eager to take it just to make the pain stop, but when informed it was going to make her sleep most likely she shook her head. "I want to know what the hell is going on first. Who are you people, .. what are you people. That he is strange is one thing.. but.. you all are. Something's up and I want to know what that is. No disrespect lady but I ain't taking no pills that knock me out in some strange family's home until I know more about this.." she stated, pushing the pill away. Her voice clearly indicated that she was in a lot of pain even when talking since moving her stomach and ribs hurt, but she felt like she had every right to demand answers.

Bael was relieved, more than relieved even, to see that Renji was willing to forgive him and that he was still willing to hug him as well. As this could have been the end of them being able to talk or interact and he could have very well lost his son. That fact alone made it so that Bael was more than determined to make things right and make it very clear on how things were at this moment. He was getting slowly used to the idea of his son having chosen a human to be his mate but that was going to take a whole lot more time before he'd fully accept it. And he in no way was planning on letting her stay human. Not just because that would never work between her and Renji.. her being a constant temptation, but also because of the rest of the family. Sure he had the control over himself, as well as Eshita, but Nisha didn't and he was just not willing to plan entirely around Sasha just for the sake of that toddler human. As to him she was but a speck of dust when comparing ages. No, she was to be turned and he was still contemplating on who would be the better one to do this, him and Eshita.. or Renji himself. Pushing those thoughts aside he smiled as Renji went to say okay with a relieved tone. Though as he spot the frightened look in his son's eyes as he went to ask about his punishment Bael was quick to shake his head. "No. No cane, no tawse or strap.. no belt either. But the rest... yes. You are never to challenge me like that again you hear?" he informed him, his tone taking on the usual dominant tone and he gave Renji a serious look with that.

[animefangirl]

Eshita was not going to be happy with her daughter if the girl retaliated against Sasha for touching her things or her person, though she would of course not allowe Sasha to touch Nisha, so the girl had better be careful about how she decided to deal with the human nuisance if she did that or else Nisha would find herself with a sore bottom for her troubles. For now Eshita fetched the first aid kit and went to take care of Sasha and she issued her warning to the girl about hurting Renji and was sort of annoyed when the girl didn't say anything buts he didn't press. Instead she just treated Sasha's wounds then offered her the pain pill and frowned when she said that she wanted answers first and got an attitude, and it was all Eshita could do to resist the urge to slap the fool human for daring to speak to her in that manner but she resisted. Barely. "Take the pill. Now" She said, using her mind control when she added the 'now' so that Sasha would not have a choice but to do it. She had no intention of explaining anything to this human infant, she would leave that to Renji since as far as Eshita was concerned this human was her son's problem and was Renji's responsibility now.

Renji would not have wanted to break totally away from his parents even if Bael had not come after him tonight, but he probably would have for Sasha's sake. Luckily that hadn't happened so neither of them had to go through the trauma of never speaking again and Renji was greatly reassured when his father basically told him that no matter what he did he'd never be kicked out. He wasn't currently thinking about Sasha and what he was going to do with her now that he had her, and he would have been startled by his fathers thoughts about turning her since that never occurred to him but once Bael voiced that thought Renji was going to insist on being the one to do it since he didn't want his parents having that sort of influence on her and he knew that the bond between a creator and their creation was strong. For a while he just let his dad hold him before he agreed with his dad and then asked about his punishment, unable to help looking scared of what he might be f acing even though he wasn't scared of Bael himself and he breathed a small sigh of relief when Bael told him that he wasn't getting the really harsh implements but he still made a bit of a a face when he heard that he was still getting the paddle and bath brush since those two hurt plenty for him. He whined when Bael got a dominant tone and told him that he was never to challenge the man again and he nodded and dropped his eyes submissively, fully realizing that what he did was very bad and his instincts were demanding he be submissive now and try to make up for it. "Yes sir" he added for good measure since he knew that was what the man expected from him even as he whined a second time, a soft sound that was reminiscent of a pup getting its muzzle grabbed by an older annoyed wolf. He wasn't actually scared of his dad right now though, just of the punishment but he wasn't fighting it since he just wanted to get it over with so he could return to Sasha and his mother and get everything straightened out.

[Dark Raven]

Sasha was about to protest, vividly, were it not for the hold Eshita had on her mind, forcing her to take the pill that was offered to her. She could tell the woman wasn't pleased, but she really didn't care that much. She wanted answers, but it seemed she wasn't getting any of those any time soon. So while resisting all she wanted, she took the pill and swallowed it with the water, letting out a groan in protest as she battled.. and lost miserably to keep her mind her own.

Pleased to see Renji respond submissive this time, not because he liked that sort of thing, but simply because it was the way things were with him as the alpha in the house. The last thing he wanted is to be challenged again and so when he was using his dominant tone and Renji responded accordingly he nodded with approval of the teen's response. Not wanting to prolong the inevitable Bael sat down on the edge of the bed after pulling Renji with him by his wrist. Turning to the teen he was quick to bare him already and guided him down over his lap. After repositioning him slightly he took a deep breath and looked down at Renji's head saying "I don't need to remind you not to reach back or struggle your life's worth, so I trust you will behave yourself during this. Or I will summon the cane. Better yet.." He held up his hand summoning the very same cane and handed it to Renji. "Hold on to this with both hands, it gives you an incentive not to reach back better. Let go of it and I will use it." he informed his son and waited a moment or two to gauge his response before proceeding to spank him soundly.

[animefangirl]

Eshita was not at all amused by Sasha's attitude and she meant to bring it up to the men when they returned but for now she just forced the fool creature to take the pain pill and watched her as she did so, smirking slightly at the angry frustration she could feel coming off of Sasha in the process. Once the girl too the pill Eshita nodded, "Lay down. Stay." She added, her commands going directly into the girls mind and forcing her will upon Sasha so she wouldn't have chance to refuse. Particularly strong willed humans could delay a compulsion but they could not throw it off entirely, and since Eshita was very strong it likely would be impossible for Sasha to fight her orders. The girl may be able to fight Renji or Nisha since they were not as experienced.

Renji never thought that his father liked making him or Nisha submit to him, so it really didn't bother him when his wolf side made him behave this way since it was just a normal part of the family dynamic for them. He wasn't happy about the punishment but he did want to get it over with so when his father gripped his wrist he walked over to his bed without protesting and blushed when Bael felt the urge to bare him before pulling him over his lap since that was more embarrassing for him. The teen shifted as his dad repositioned him and then settled and he whined when Bael told him not to struggle or he'd summon the cane and he was about to tell his dad that was not necessary but then the man summoned it and handed it to him and he looked at his father in confusion but the man clarified for him why he'd done it and that got a scowl out of Renji. "That's just mean" He protested, whining like a normal child instead of a wolf this time and using his voice. He shifted slightly but took the cane obediently since he didn't want more trouble for himself and he glared at it and was sorely tempted to break it now that he was holding it but he had the feeling that Bael would just replace it with a worse one if he did so he refrained. Once he decided to behave he just gripped the cane with both hands and then tensed a bit and waited for the punishment to start, gasping when he felt hsi dad's hard hand clapping down on his soon-to-be red rear end. It didn't hurt that much at first so he didn't react much for a few minutes but then his rear started to turn a bit pink and he started to squirm slightly as the discomfort begain to become a stinging pain.
