Chapter 16: Stay Close
"Stay close," Sesshoumaru ordered as he strode towards what looked to be a silk merchant's storefront.
"Are those demons?" she whispered as her steps slowed.
"Hnn."
Kagome gawked at a pair of kitsune traders who cheerfully hailed passersby, then asked, "Are they all demons?"
"Hnn."
"Is this a demon village?" she gasped, spotting pointy ears on nearly everyone they passed.
"Hnn."
"I've never seen a demon village before!" she blurted excitedly
Sesshoumaru stopped walking and turned his cold gaze on her. The command was soft, barely more than a whisper, but his warning came through loud and clear. "Stay quiet."
