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."
