Chatpter 3: Enter Sesshomaru

Akumu wandered for awhile until a pain in his gut made him stop and mumble to himself.

"Wait a minute. Do I even know what InuYasha looks like? All I know is that he's a half dog demon and he has white hair. I don't even know what he smells like. How will I know if I'm too close?"

Akumu groaned miserably and looked back down the road. While wondering if this was another test, a small group where just getting on it and walking his way. Akumu's eyes lit up as he got off the road and hid. One of the travelers had white hair.

"Oh shit! Hope they didn't see me. But just in case..." Akumu started to mask his scent just as one of the travelers suddeny seemed alert of his precense...

--------------------------------------------------------

Intermision: Let me guess. You think I'm going too fast and InuYasha is going to catch him don't you? Well guess again:Intermision over...

-------------------------------------------------------

Sesshomaru noticed the faint scent of Naraku fade into nothing. He looked to where the sent was diminishing and noticed the branches of a tree vibrate for a moment as if something had just then crawled inside. With no wind, the movement was suspiscious and Sesshomaru decided to take a closer look though he knew it was probly a waste of his time.

"Lord Sesshomaru, wait for me!" The cry came from the small frog-like imp who seemed to have lost his ballence and tripped falling behind a few feet as Sesshomaru and the small girl, Rin, kept walking.

"Hurry Master Jaken." Came Rin's reply as she kept her pace. "Lord Sesshomaru, what is wrong?"

"It's nothing." Sesshomaru glanced at the imp for a moment then turned his attention back to the tree and stopped walking." Jaken come here. I want you to climb that tree over there and see what's in it".

Jaken paused briefly but then hurried to obey, attempting to climb the trunk with anything but ease.

--------------------------------------------------------

Akumu sat quietly on the branch. He had finaly and completly masked his scent when he heard voices. He cursed under his breath when he heard an older voice than the other's tell some one called Jaken to climb a tree. His cursing fell silent, however, when he heard the scratches of some one, most likly the one called Jaken, attempting to climb the very tree he was using to hide.

Akumu chanced a peak down and saw some sort of imp trying, unsuccessfuly, to climb the tree. It was no wonder as the imp didn't seem to want to let go of a two headed staff to complete such an easy task. Akumu thought it best to disguise his appearance while he had the time. The imp didn't seem like it would make it up the tree in the time needed. Akumu's body seemed to melt as his new appearance started to show. Within a few minutes he finished the tranformation and waited paitently for what would come next.

Sorry for the long wait for chapter 3. With school starting last week and butt loads of homework, I couldn't find time to complete it. Chapter 4 will be up hopefully before the weekend.
