"So this is the spot?" Kagome asked looking up at the deserted castle.
"Yes Kagome, this is where the shadow was" Miroku replied, gazing at the empty halls. "I was called in to do an exorcisim when that shadow calling itself Nakaru began to devour the soldiers that stayed here. When I got here I was forced to hunt it down, constantly for an entire week. I eventually cornered it around the courtyard, when I banished it it inflicted me with this curse." Miroku sighed. "Unfortunatly I was unable to destroy the spirit, I only weakened it slightly."
"Well, didn't you try to track it down?" Kagome asked as they entered the castle, listening to their footsteps echo down the empty halls.
"Yes, but it was nearly impossible to track, and with this curse I lack the time to track it by my own means, I was hoping that you could assist."
"Feh, you're just hoping that you can get Oichi to change her mind." Inuysha commented, getting smacks by both Kagome and Oichi.
"Well that was another reason." Miroku replied, at both women's frightening gestures he brightened and said. "Ah, here it is! This is where I banished the shadow!"
The women backed off and spread out to search the area, Inuyash smacked Miroku as he entered, but did little else, sniffing the air.
"It smells like that bastard all right." Inuyasha sneezed.
"Huh?" Kagome sniffed as well, then sneezed too "You're right, its awfull."
Oichi sneezed as well, trying to get the smell out of her nose "Smells like poison, a very nasty poison."
"Well Nakaru was vile, what did you expect?" Inuyasha said covering his nose. "Any other clues?"
Miroku watched the youkai amused, all of them were clutching their noses, it made him glad his sense of smell was human. Maybe if they continued to search they could find something that he missed. Unfortunatly with all of their sense of smell gone they were forced to rely on other senses to detect the incoming trouble, this made them unprepared.

A maginificantly large pure white dog sniffed the air, scenting for the return of its servant. Sesshoumaru was waiting for Jaken, he was returning with the arm required that would allow him to fight his bastard half-breed brother once again. He usually preferred his human form, but in this form he was a considerable amount stronger. Getting the nessasary arm for the task he needed had been difficult and he had needed the dog form. Though he would not admit it he was tired after and was only now getting his strength back.
Jaken returned with the arm, and he shifted back to him human form. Taking the arm from the pitiful youkai he placed it at his shoulder, forcing it to attach itself to him. Attaching a limb in place of another was occationally necessary, growing a new one was hard, requiring time and energy that he had no place to spare. Besides, this arm had several special properties that would make it a very formidable addition.
He flexed the scaly dragon arm, it was still resisting his power slightly, it was always a pain to dominate another arm. Oh well, its power would make up for the irritation of forcing it to obey him.
He began to walk, finding his brother was always so easy, his scent was unmistakable. He still was a pup, but he was also a very strong youkai, his aura and scent matched that. Sesshomaru spared a brief thought of amusment, even as a half breed. He sped up, his brother did not deserve that blade no matter his strength, he had capability to use it. Sesshomaru deserved that power far more.
Leaping the wall of a castle he detected Inuyasha's scent inside. Leaping even further in he detected several others, a kitsuine, a human and his brothers mate. Sesshomaru could deal with the human easily, and the kitsuine as well, but his brothers mate could be trouble. Even thought the were young by youkai standards, their bond was increadably powerfull, and a berserk mate was trouble no matter the breed. Knocking her out would be the best solution, she would die later. It would be a mercy with her mate dead. He was at least glad that his brother had at least chosen a halfway appropriate mate.
He lept into the courtyard, listening to Inuyasha and Kagome's snarls.
