Lord Sesshomaru was patrolling the lands along with his ward Rin and his servant the toad demon Jaken. He sensed the scents of humans from foreign lands. He was curious, not many humans could travel from foreign lands and smell healthy, they often harbored the stench of sickness. He decided not to face the mortals now. He quickly commanded Jaken to take care of Rin and followed the stench of these foreign humans.
Nothing could have prepared him to face the shock when he saw them. There were fifteen humans who were going towards the in houses while two horses carried a palanquin marching towards the Western territories. They looked very fierce and strong for mere mortals.
What sparked his curiosity was a female who looked right at him from her palanquin. She was a fair young maiden who gasped as she saw him and hid herself inside the palaquin. He felt himself smirking, that was the kind of terror he liked to see in the eyes of humans. He thought of taking care of these pesky humans after he saw to the safety of his human ward Rin. With that Sesshomaru flew back to his companions.
Sadly, Sesshomaru did not realize that the maiden did not shy away from him due to terror.
