Prompt 7: Imprecation

Sesshomaru was amused. There was no other way to describe him. The Miko's thoughts on everything were as perplexing as they were entertaining.

He listened as she battled a dark miko. He took in her fear, her trepidation, and her determination. He reluctantly gave his respect to the woman.

This is the only reason why, when he felt the starting of the dark miko's curse that he came to her aid and slayed the wretched creature.

He left just as quickly as he had come, wondering if the Miko's smile was a curse of its own.
