Through the servant he had entrusted to the task of keeping an eye on the human princess and her hybrid child, another death's notice had reached his ears, however, it seemed that this news were not considered so urgent as to have been taken immediatly to the Dog Clan's General's firstborn... Izayoi had had an early death.

-Inuyasha?- Sesshoumaru asked, but the fox couldn't answer him other than since the woman's death, a little over a week ago, his whereabouts were unknown. This useless fool.

Sesshoumaru applied a harsh punishment for this, severing with his whip an arm of the fox servant, reminding him that any news related to those of the Palace of the Moon had the highest priority. The servant begged fearfully for the Lord of the West's forgiveness, but was ignored. At least his life had been spared.

Sesshoumaru had to think.
