other two, so no stealing!
Footfalls on the natural path brought up small clouds of dust. Dirt swirled around Sessho-maru's feet, erasing any footprints he might leave. Suddenly, his head jerked to the side. A faint rustling in the bushes attracted his attention.
Drawing his sword, Sessho-maru sidestepped towards the underbrush. He slowly brushed it aside with one hand. Intrigued, he studied what he hand found.
A kitsune youkai was washing her hair in a nearby spring, while a moth-like creature flitted about her head.
"Jamiko," the vixen said in a low voice, "When shall we arrive?" Jamiko, the moth, handed her friend a towel to dry her hair.
"If we stop no more, we shall arrive tomorrow at noon." The fox demon nodded and threw the towel over her head, scrubbing furiously. Suddenly she pulled it off with a snap, the ears on top of her head twitching.
Sessho-maru cast a quick look down at Jaken, who was about to sneeze. "Ah..ah..ah.."
"Silence, you little toad!" Sessho-maru hissed through clenched teeth. Jaken stifled it, but when Sessho-maru turned back, the two youkai were gone.
Jumping into the clearing, Sessho-maru looked around for some indication of where they might have gone. A few branches rustled to the left, in the direction of the nearest village. Smirking, Sessho-maru followed the trail. Jaken trailed along Sessho-maru's heels.
"Lord Sessho-maru..?" he asked timidly. The inu-youkai snarled in response and put on a burst of speed. Truly told, he had no idea why he was following them. There was just some inexplicable urge to know more about them.
