"talking" 'thinking'


7. A Close Call


Sesshoumaru's eyes widened and his nostrils flared.

'There!'

It was under heavy perfume and would have eluded a lesser demon, but it was there. He lingered in the lobby of the cheap motel. She had been here, but was she still?

Her scent was faint, but then suddenly a wave of it hit his nostrils. He spun to follow it and caught a glimpse of blonde hair and swirling skirts as she left the lobby.

Outside, the crowds jostled him as he tried to determine her direction, but she was gone.

'Clever. She's definitely running.'

Sesshoumaru so loved a challenge.
