He uttered a low curse and scaled the cage, shaking the structure where he landed. Another oath.

He vaulted to the ground, l landing softly, and surveyed the cage. He slid beneath it and let out a low chuckle. "Don't worry, Miko. They left a key."

"Who left a key?"

"Probably the last demon hunters inhabiting here or Naraku and his ilk. It looks old though. This Sesshomaru looked around before you chose to run into trouble. There is no living being that is around. Does not look like anything sentient has been here in a long time."

He procured a curved piece of semi-white material most likely bone, it was on a chain, which he stretched to the hinge on the floor of the cage and it fit into a small spot. The bottom fell open, and she stumbled to the ground. He half smirked and reached to help her to her feet. "It must have been for demons or trespassers, to trap them alive. Come on."

She toddled forward on shaking legs. "What kind?"

His gaze swept the darkness around them. "Could be anything really,"

His smirk faded and brows went down. "What in the seven hells where you doing over here?"

"Nothing," she answered quickly. "Simply checking this area for danger."
