Seven
Infiltrating had been simple. Mortals had very dull senses, incapable of tracking her within her compressed form. Even the demonic energy she sensed within many of them overlooked her despite the way it flooded deep into the optic nerve and appeared to enhance the eyesight.
Odd, that. She had not known her kind to mingle so with mortals.
Another crossed her path, this one cloaked in black and a stark white mask, and she easily faded back into the shadows. Her blue eyes followed his every step, even as several others joined him, until he finally rounded a bend and disappeared into the darkness.
An ANBU, she believed they called him.
Worthless is the word she preferred. His kind was considered elite from what she understood. The ability to sense the likes of her had waned, though, making her purpose this night that much simpler. And, while he was unaware, it also strengthened her sense of superiority.
They had spent nearly a millennium learning to destroy her kind with but a touch, and now they abandoned the ability? All because many of her own had been pushed from this world and into the next?
What fools!
A soft snicker escaped her snout, as she slithered through the dark. Her paws glided smoothly across the cold cement, and she delighted in the feel of the wind shifting through her fur once more. It had been so long. Too long, in fact, but she did not allow herself the luxury very long once her footing brought her near the building she was certain she sought.
Her three tails whipped about, as she settled herself down upon the bridge she had found. Her eyes found nothing glamorous or grand about the complex, and she wondered silently why mortals believed it to look significant. The only reason she was certain it was indeed the building she sought was because of the aura that had settled itself within the walls.
It was old. Many great mortals had been within those walls.
