Gracefully sauntering down the gravel-covered road, with a toad-demon at his heel and a little ebony haired girl hopping by his side, was Sesshoumaru. His golden eyes were fixed on the road, but he was fully aware of the things around him. The girl was trying to catch the fur boa that danced behind him, while the toad tightly clutched his staff. He could hear everything within a three-mile radius, however, that didn't mean that nothing could get past his range of hearing. The woman that stood twelve feet ahead of him seemed to prove it.
Her short hair was a deep crimson, but her eyes were a dark violet. Her kimono was similar to his, except that it was a blood red and instead of the flower embroidering, there were ivory dragons. Her obi was black and yellow and it did not carry a sword. Her skin was quite pale, despite the sun's warmth, and she had claws that looked razor sharp. She glared at him coldly while keeping an expressionless face. Her eyes were filled with disgust as her gaze went down to Rin.
"So, I finally meet you, Sesshoumaru." She says with revulsion.
"That's Lord Sesshoumaru you're speaking to…" exclaimed Jakken in his squeaky voice, but was interrupted by his lord.
"Jakken, take Rin and leave at once." He commanded. Jakken looked at him and then reluctantly took the girl and left. After he was sure they were out of sight and out of Rin's hearing range, he turned back to his opponent.
"Who are to speak to me in such a manner, especially when you have not been spoken to wench?" Sesshoumaru said coldly but also kept a blank face.
"Look at you. You've become extremely weak, and I thought you were weak before." She said ignoring his question. She smirked as she added: "Now you're distasteful too, adopting a human."
He felt his rage building up. His golden eyes turned blood red and he bore his teeth. She also saw t how his anger consumed him, but she didn't move. In fact she smirked as he sped towards her, claws raised.
Just as he was about to slice through her, she gracefully dodged it, quickly got behind him before he realized that she was gone, and elbowed him in the back. He went crashing through several trees. Despite the pain that shot through his body, he shot up and ran towards her. To a human, he was faster than a cheetah, but to her, he was as fast as a turtle in hardening cement. She was toying with him, but due to his blinding rage, Sesshoumaru didn't know it.
After a few minutes and after an assault of quick and decisive blows, he was too hurt to move. He had over a dozen deep wounds and his body was throbbing with pain. With his demon blood, he would be fully healed in a few hours. However, until then he couldn't defend himself. He laid there against a tree bark, taking in short, ragged breaths.
"Who are you, wench?" he asked, narrowing his eyes at her. She slowly licked the drop of blood on the side of her right index finger before she turned her attention back to him.
"It's Korari, weakling." She replied as she walked away, then she mumbled. "I wouldn't be surprised if Naraku took your land."
She left him there with something to think about.
