The Irony of a Smile

There was magic and power, ancient and new. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have scoffed at this news. So, the rumor was true. The wench following his half-brother was not of these lands, not of this world.

As he approached the rotting wood, he silently inhaled whatever else the old well had to offer.

To even remotely consider that the girl was from the future was out of the question. The simple reality was that he would conquer the world someday. And he would not tolerate such insolence, ever.

No, he kept his mind at ease. The mysterious spell that surrounded the area began to dissipate. He would never see her again; they would never see her again. With the jewel's disappearance, Naraku's death, and the girl gone, the future was now his. Some revelations couldn't help but make him smile.
