As Sesshomaru had caught up with Jaken, or shall we say when Jaken found Sesshomaru, a faint smell was caught in the trees. Sesshomaru sniffed the air, trying to pinpoint what it was.
Blood. Human blood, he thought. His thought ran of what had happened. There was a massacre, and it was coming from the forest and the village not too far from it.
"What's the matter, Lord Sesshomaru?" Jaken asked in his high pitched voice.
Sesshomaru ignored the imp and walked back towards the forest. Something was not right, and he sensed the blood of the girl. Questioning thoughts filled his mind, and his paces grew longer and faster as he followed the horrid scent.. He was soon pushing himself to see what had had happened.
The blood is fresh. I can smell it.
Behind him, he heard Jaken yell, "Where are you going my lord?!...Don't leave me here all alone." Then Sesshomaru heard the small, hurried footsteps of Jaken. The imp was coming along as always.
Sesshomaru pushed his way through the brush, trying to quickly get to the source of the smell, secretly hoping that his mind was wrong for the outcome he would soon see. In a short period of time though the darkness, he had found his destination. His eyes grew wide at the site. It was the girl; blood covered and mangled. His eyes glazed over with tears, but he soon banished them away. He was overcome by sadness at the site and felt horrible for the girl who had attempted to help him recover. Sesshomaru stared down at the cold, mangled, body. She was so helpess…What kind of animal or demon would do such a cruel action?! She was just a girl! His blood started to boil as he stood staring.
Jaken walked over to the girl's corps and inspected it. "It looks like some animal attacked her. The teeth and claw marks show that they were wolves. Silly human for letting itself get caught."
Sesshomaru's eyes turned cold towards his friend. "Jaken," he flatly said.
"Yes my lord?" Jaken said as he shrunk back a little, cowering away for his master, noticing the ice cold look Sesshomaru was giving him.
Sesshomaru pulled out his sword, the Tenseiga, and Jaken quickly moved away, apologizing profusely. Sesshomaru knew that the Tenseiga had the ability to reincarnate anything that was dead by the sweep through by the sword, so for some reason he wanted to bring back the child. I don't know why I am doing this, but it seems that I am compelled to do so. In time, maybe I will know why I am about to do such an act which is very much unlike my character.
He narrowed his eyes at the body, and could see the little goblins covering the girl's body, keeping her dead. With one sweep of the Tenseiga, the killed off the little goblins and the girl's body was revived. Her eyes were full of life once again, but were confused of what had happened.
"Lord Sesshomaru! Why did you revive the human girl?" Jaken cried in awe.
He ignored Jaken's question and looked down at the Tenseiga, "Hmm…It actually does bring the dead back to the living world…."
"WHAT?! It was just a test?! Lord Sesshomaru, are you telling me that when you slit me down my middle before that you were not sure of its outcome and you had to try your theory out again?! How can you be such a cruel master?!" Jaken yelled in his high toned voice in distraught.
Sesshomaru ignored his imp and walked away. The girl had smiled and was pleased that the demon did such an act. She stood by the imp, who was just smaller that her seven-year-old body, and watched as Sesshomaru walked away as Jaken cried from the truth of what he had learned.
