Day 2 - 2:50 PM

Takashi slowed down as he neared the cliffs. He allowed his senses to overtake him as he looked for signs of Sesshoumaru's whereabouts. The forest was dense with active wildlife, so he closed his eyes in concentration. Hearing nothing out of the ordinary he was about to take to the sky again.

*growl*

He stopped mid launch, waiting to see if he would hear it again.

'What was that...it almost sounded like…no, it couldn't be.' He thought.

Minimizing his aura he moved within the shadows. His training kicked in as he focused on the location of the sound he heard.

He approached as stealthily as demonly possible, hiding within the branches of the trees. Closing in on the source of the sound he was unprepared to hear more than he really wanted to. Heavy panting, skin slapping against skin, groans, growls and moans. He almost didn't want to approach whoever it was, but he had to investigate.

The sounds became clearer and his nose started to pick up on the scents that were heavy in the air.

Sesshoumaru. It was definitely him. But who was he with? In all his years of looking after him, he had never heard him so raw before;not that he made it a habit to listen to him mid-rut, but sounds travled within the thin shoji walls. He sniffed again, eager to see which bitch had him acting so feral. His nose was accosted with wildflowers and electricity, what an odd combination, and one he did not know. There was something else too, this scent...it had an underlying tone, one that made no sense since this was Sesshoumaru he was talking about.

He had to get a closer look. Had to confirm his suspicions, because there was simply no way that what he was smelling was right.

Coming closer to the pair, he felt a little guilty. It was not in his job description to be a peeping pervert, but this had him as curious as a cat.

Jumping up to the tree branch closest to him, he pushed aside the leaves and gasped at the scene before him.

It was Sesshoumaru; and his nose had been right, the female was no bitch, it was a human. He watched as Sesshoumaru pounded into the petite little human with terrible force. Could it be… had Sesshoumaru been so deprived of his needs that he had lost control and forced himself on this human? No. It couldn't be, this was Sesshoumaru he was talking about for goodness sake!

He focused on what he could see. Sesshoumaru, fully dressed, his eyes red. The noises coming from the pair made it obvious they were BOTH enjoying it. His gaze traveled to the little human and he sucked in his breath when he noticed that wrapped around her was Sesshoumaru's MokoMoko.

'Impossible! Sesshoumaru would never allow for it.' His thoughts raced and he wasn't focused on where he was stepping as he got further out on the branch.

Her cry of ecstasy brought him back as she screamed out his name. "Sesshoumaru!"

He stared in awe as he noticed Sesshoumaru had his teeth almost breaking her skin, he leaned forward a little more and *crack* the branch he stood on started to snap under his weight.

Sesshoumaru reacted almost instantaneously to the sound. With movements so fast he almost missed them himself, he was fixing their clothes and shoving her behind him, letting his youki flow freely, giving his hair life as he covered the little human completely from his view.

Realizing that his cover had been blown and that he was about to fall anyway, he jumped down. 'This oughta be good.' He thought to himself. He could not wait to see what exactly Sesshoumaru would have to say.

"What is the meaning of this Takashi?" The cold and hard quality of his voice made him rethink teasing Sesshoumaru about this little afair.

The moving figure behind Sesshoumaru caught his attention before he could answer. The little human peered over Sesshoumaru's arm in order to look at the intruder that dared to come between them.

He saw as her blood left her face and then came back with a vengeance, leaving her skin flushed. She was pretty, from what he could see anyway. Her eyes were huge, a blue/gray color that very easily displayed all her emotions, and her hair was so black it almost looked blue with the sun's filtered rays hitting it.

For a second he was mesmerized, but the pressure of Sesshoumaru's youki forced him into submission and he took a knee, bowing his head before his master.

"Milord, pardon the intrusion." He began. "I come on orders from your Lady Mother. She requests that you come home today."

Sesshoumaru's youki grew in anger so Takashi kept his head low.

"For what reason." Sesshoumaru demanded, poison dripping from his deadly claws.
