*I don't own Inuyasha
They simply looked at each other with calculating eyes. Finally, the little demon turned to leave. The panther called out to him, offering to share the kill. The young one seemed to think over the offer for a moment before giving a simple nod. He then proceed to attempt to clean himself by rubbing on the grass, leaving the butchering of the boar to the older cat.
"I am Haruto." He said, breaking the silence. "What is your name, little one?"
Sesshoumaru stopped trying to rub the bits of mud out of his fur and regarded the other cat. He was as tall as Sesshoumaru in his humanoid form. Grey skin covered a well muscled form, indicating a fighter to him. The panther's short brown hair spiked up in all directions, giving a messy look. His clothing was all black except for the red obi tied about his waist. The old katana at the panther's hip was nothing impressive.
Sesshoumaru thought all this over and decided he would not speak to this being. It would not do to have anyone recognize him until he could return to his proper form. Sesshoumaru being Sesshoumaru simply went back to work attempting to rid himself of the infernal dirt that was making him a dark caramel color.
"Not much of a talker, huh?" Haruto finally said, resuming his cutting. "No problem, maybe you can't speak." Sesshoumaru gave him a look with a raised brow, then proceeded to ignore him again. "Either way... here." He said as he tossed a hunk of raw meat to him.
They ate in silence. After a time Sesshoumaru heard Haruto take a sniff into the air, then look down at him. "Why do you reek of dog, little one?" he asked him. "Had a run-in with a fleabag, did you?"
Sesshoumaru ignored the slight to his species.
"Not a problem." Haruto continued, "Let's find some water to get you smelling better."
Sesshoumaru softly growled as the larger cat took off, carrying him by the scruff of the neck.
