A dark shape detached itself from the wellhouse, eyes narrowed in disgust and anger as the information he'd picked up coalesced in his mind. Damned untrustworthy dogs. Bitterly, he decided to get to work on the human element while Sesshoumaru played his power games. The blood-stained courtyard caught his eye. He'd heard no plans to purify the defiled grounds… something beyond the elder Higurashi's current capabilities. He'd arrange for help from Fushimi Shrine, then spend tomorrow looking into Higurashi-san's allegations. Kagome had sacrificed enough in the past. Inari take his tails if he let her future be ruined as well.


Fushimi Inari Shrine is located in Kyoto.
