Sesshomaru came to a halt as he smelt a familiar scent. But who did it belong to? His eyes narrowed as he wondered, a stray strand of silver hair blocking his view of Rin.
'Think,' he thought to himself. 'Think... That's it. It's that miko who accompanied Inuyasha.'
But there was something weird about this whole situation. She was alone. Neither his brother, nor the monk or the demon slayer were with her – not even the fox demon pup who she often carried on her shoulders.
Something didn't seem right, and Sesshomaru was going to find out what it was. He moved the strand of hair from his face, and looked straight at his two companions.
"Jaken," he addressed the green imp who was constantly being annoyed by the little girl.
"Yes, my lord?"
"I want you to stay here with Rin and Aun – I shall return shortly. I have some business to attend to," the daiyokai ordered. Jaken nodded.
And so he set off towards the scent of the human. Whatever was going on here, he knew that it wouldn't just be the fact that she got lost. Something was weird. Very weird. But what?
Minutes later he spotted her, lying in a heap on the ground. He rushed over to her, curiosity beating the instincts to leave her alone. He crouched down so that he could somewhat see her face, and noticed how it wasn't peaceful like it usually was – it was as if she was having nightmares or... flashbacks?
He lifted her body off the ground, holding her in his arms gently. Why was he doing this? He had no care in the world for humans, after all... right?
That was when kagome regained conciousness. Her head was throbbing... but she felt this warm sensation – wait, she was in someone's arms! She slowly lifted her gaze up to an unexpected face.
"Sesshomaru?"
