Day 2 - 11:40 AM

Takashi jumped down, sniffing the air around the cave and looking for signs of use and finding none. Sesshoumaru was a creature of habit. He had only a handful of locations that he liked to stay at. This one was number 3 on the list.

'If only they weren't all so damn far away from each other.' He thought.

'What the hell does InuKimi think she is doing anyway? Does she really think inviting the East and North will help clear things up? For as long as I have known Sesshoumaru he has had no intent of taking on a mate; hell I doubt he even believes such a thing exists.' His thoughts continued down that path as he made his way to the 4th location.

Truth be told, he didn't know if he believed in such a thing either. How could you know for certain that someone was your mate? How would you be able to tell the difference between a mate and a good rut? 'Bah. What does it matter anyway, not like I'm looking to settle down in any case.' He thought.

After almost an hour of running around he finally reached the 4th location, and again it seemed untouched. He looked up at the sky and sighed. 'It's already past noon and the last location is by the beach...a few hours away.' He knew he should have just started there. It was his favorite place afterall. If he was by himself - which he highly suspected, knowing Sesshoumaru, then he would prefer to be somewhere he could call home.

Dejectedly he slumped his shoulders and sighed audibly. "Siiiiiiigh. If he is not there, I'll claim he is dead and start the mourning rituals." He said half joking. He was not looking forward to scouring all of Japan in search of a Dai-Youkai that did not wish to be found, all in hopes of getting him to agree to come home and play matchmaker with bitches he had already deemed unworthy. With that in mind, he pushed off from the ground and made his way towards the coast, half hoping he would not find Sesshoumaru so he wouldn't have to explain this ridiculous plan InuKimi had cooked up on a whim.
