A stoic Lord stood his eyes gazing at a pitiful sight though he offered it no pity. Five foot from him stood an impressive tree and bound to it his half-breed brother if he even dare call him that.
Even if he wanted to save him he couldn't, and the bitch that could save him was now dead and his brother was now even more useless than he was before.
The wind blew moving the Lord's long hair but with the breeze came a scent. He turned his head ever so slowly to see a child, and judging by the scent on her, she was related to the bitch who bad done this deed.
"Undo it,"
the child looked at her hands and then up at him with teary eyes, and he knew in an instant the child could not. All these useless beings.
"Where is the jewel? it's safe keeping his only desire at this point.
The child hesitated but once he turned fully to her she spoke quickly. "We burned it with Lady kikyo's body."
A lot of good that would do the jewel could not just vanish because one burned it even if the now dead bitch willed it with her last power. She wasn't its creator.
"Show me,"
The child again hesitated, and as a Miko he couldn't blame her.
"I have no use nor want of the jewels wretched power"
She must have believed him for Lady kaede pointed the way.
