"I wonder why he won't tell us where that girl-child is? Not as if he's doing himself any favors by keeping her around. I can't figure out why he cares about the brat anyway," a demon muttered.

"He must have inherited his father's liking for the creatures," another scoffed. "He used to be terribly good at keeping it suppressed, but I suppose it shows up when least expected."

"Well, you never know what you'll see next with his family," a third shook his head. "First his father takes up a human, and after being with his mother..."

"It's not as if I would care if he were friends with that Inuyasha kid," a fourth added. "They are brothers, after all, even if he is a half-demon and Sesshoumaru a full demon. But taking up with humans? I never thought that he, of all of us, would go that far..."

"He always did seem to be the most hateful of us all when it came to humans," another nodded.

"No accounting for taste," one scoffed. They all nodded and sighed in agreement.
