Blood Iris
Chapter 2.
'Curiosity'
His amber eyes watched as the young raven haired girl trudged up a small slope. He'd been carefully watching her for the past couple of weeks. He did not know when his curiosity for the girl had grown but it was now borderline obsession.
It all had started one late evening when he was flying back to his ward when he spotted her. Her chest was covered in blood and it was not hers. The blood was human he knew that for a fact, so he position himself downwind. A precaution mostly, he did not know if her kit was near. Surely if she was attacked either the kit or his bastard brother where around, and he needed to get back to his ward as soon as possible. Jaken had a nasty habit of letting her wander to far when he was not around.
He had not smelt the hanyou in the area, much to his surprise. Was she not his wench? How pitiful even for him that he would leave the miko unattended.
The strangeness did not stop there, in fact it was what the young girl did next that set his curiosity ablaze. Without any hesitation she leaped into the old well. He was more confused at that moment to say the least, so he waited a moment before investigating.
When he peered down the abandoned well he saw nothing. The days that had come would be even more strange. He had gone close to the village known as Edo where the female was visiting her old comrades. When she had said her hello's and goodbyes she left and walked into the evening alone.
She then began to talk to a young man with old tattered clothing. The two of them strolled around the village for awhile until they made it to a small hut.
They stayed inside for some time, being as cautious as ever Sesshomaru kept his distance. Was she some type of whore? Surely not, he had smelt her purity clearly many times. The night continued to grow and the moon bathed the lands in a calm bluish light. Finally the miko exited, and nothing was abnormal. There was no smell of foul play on her at all, not even a hint of indecency or shame.
So there he was weeks later, his new favorite subject to observe just feet in front of him. He'd follow her when he got the chance, and boy did he always find the chance. She stumbled a couple times quite ungracefully he added. Last nights heavy downpour had left the terrain muddy and dangerous. He knew what she was after though so he kept silently observing. Her prize sat only a few meters in front of her.
