Chapter 2: Found Wanting
Once upon a time, there was a lord whose pride had taken a blow. Ambition cost him a limb. Imperfection made him a mockery. Obligation placed him in a predicament. Although he hated the idea of seeking counsel from mortals, Sesshoumaru's list of acquaintances was intentionally short.
With a predator's stealth, he eased closer to the circle of firelight where his half-brother's band of avengers shared a meal. He felt no remorse for his plan. Inuyasha had taken his arm. This would be recompense.
Yes, Sesshoumaru knew exactly what he wanted, but then... he'd never been good at getting it.
