Chapter 2

Seishi didn't have to move too quickly, since he was merely walking, but she caught up with him soon enough… he didn't even look back. She knew he would know she was there… he was a dog demon… if he hadn't heard her, he would have smelt her coming… She wasn't exactly trying to conceal herself anyway. "Well aren't you just the friendly one?…" Seishi chuckled as she followed a ways behind him, her pace rather lazy and leisurely. The breeze blowing back her own wavy platinum white hair as her silvery blue eyes watched the demon before her. Waiting to see how he would greet her words.

Sesshoumaru was pulled from his thoughts when he sensed his follower… He choose to ignore her at first, but when she made her rather imprudent comment, he stopped walking and without turning, said in his soft, but commanding voice, "I don't remembering asking you follow me. You would be wise to turn around now…" he then without waiting for her response he walked on.

Seishi only smirked as she kept following, "He speaks…" Crossing her arms about her waist, she locked her silvery blue gaze on the back of the demon's platinum white haired head. Although she looked extremely relaxed and unconcerned, she was actually very alert and ready to move quickly if she needed to. She also keep a few yards between them, following at a safe distance to give her more reaction time… not that she really needed it… but then again… she couldn't be sure what he was fully capable of.

"What I doing is following the only full dog demon I've come across since I came to this bloody country… just thought I'd try to make a friend, but the inu youkai of this country don't seem very sociable, if you are any indication," the English dog demoness lofted a brow, "and I don't believe I need your permission to walk where I please. Maybe I was going in this direction myself, anyway? Or did that even cross your mind?" Seishi's eyes never left Sesshoumaru as she spoke, nor did the smirk leave her lips.

Sesshoumaru could almost growled, if he allowed himself such primal expressions, as he turned around and stared at this bitch. He was already pissed off about InuYasha having walked away from their fight to chase after that wolf and that ningen girl of his. Now this sassy bitch was trying his patience, "You must enjoy being an annoyance…" He started to walk closer to her, his ever step just as graceful as the last. He stared at this smirking bitch, "I don't know which country you hail from, but here, a she-dog that doesn't know her place, is one of the more annoying things imaginable..." he rose his hand and pointed it at Seishi spreading his fingers out a bit, narrowing his eyes his toxic green venom began to drip from his razor sharp claws. He then threw the toxin at this bitch that dared to back talk to him the Lord of the Western Lands. He thought it might be charitable to spare her life as she was a stranger in a strange land, but she would still suffer for her insolence and if she perished, then so be it.

Seishi watched as the inu turned and stared to approach… Oh so easy… this guy was on the arrogant side… Or perhaps she had just caught him on a bad day, since his hanyou brother had seemed to piss him off. In any case, she had seceded in pissing him off more… She could already tell he underestimated her… not surprising… most didn't think much of females and she had herself well masked and shielded from having her real power detected. Her silvery blue gaze studied his graceful movements, reading them to get an idea of what he might do…

She watched as he raised his clawed hand, catching sight of the toxic looking neon green vapor. She was sure she wouldn't want to come into contact with that stuff. So her eyes shot back to his, as milliseconds ticked away, his poison drawing closer, she grinned, making sure to stay long enough that he could see her expression… to see her…

Then she was in two places at once… She was standing roughly 20 yards away off to his right, leaning back against a large tree, looking bored and lazy… yet she was still standing there in front of him grinning… As his vapor reached its target… it only passed through her, then her likeness faded… She hadn't been real… The real demoness had moved so fast, using movement and light added with a slight hypnotic twist in such a way that she left her image itched on the retina of his gorgeous gold eyes. She had appeared to still be standing there before him, but it was only an illusion… She was sure he would be pissed once he realized he had been tricked, but she kept her bored expression and she waited for the inu demon to look to his right, toward where she now leaned, her luxurious figure seemingly at full ease against the tree's smooth bark. "That wasn't very nice,"

Sesshoumaru frowned a bit inwardly at himself. It was foolish to underestimate her just because she was female. He flexed his claws a bit and his knuckles cracked a bit. He would enjoy taking this bitch down. He closed his eyes as a breeze picked and blew his hair to the side as he once again attempted to sense the female's youkai power. This time no matter how good her suppression was he could feel it, now that he knew there was a significance of power there. He then opened his eyes and smiled, "You're fast, but I've fought fast opponents before. Now... they are all rust on my blade...

Seishi watched him with her piercing silvery blue gaze, the same breeze blowing about what bits of her platinum white hair that wasn't pinned between her back and the tree. She quietly waited to see what he would do next.

Sesshoumaru knew that her just merely moving from one tree to another would not work this time. He raised his hand into the air, "Die..." He hissed in an icy voice as his body turned swiftly as his yellowish whip like attack spun around him, cutting everything from trees, to any birds that remained in them to splinters and muck. He narrowed his eyes when his attack was over, looking to the location of were the bitch had once been.

Seishi only smirked more at him… his golden gaze bore into her silvery blue ones, but she did not flinch under their intense gaze. She could see his unexpressed outrage and burning desire to rid himself of her annoying presence… She watched with sharply focused and alert eyes as he swept his hand up into the air, a long glowing neon green-yellow length of energy forming into whip. With a slight growl, she started to move… just as the whip snapped at where she had stood, she dodge, jumping up into the air just high enough to avoid it, ignoring the tree that she had used to lean on as the top half slid from the bottom, it having been cut clean in half…

When she landed again, she held up her arms. Now having seen what this attack did, she would counter it…With a silent mental command, silvery violet energy, her own demon youki, flowed from within and she channeled it into her armored arm bands. When the energy whip came her way again, she blocked the hit with her arms, her own youki repelling and counteracting his whip in a kind of deflecting barrier. She did get a small cut on her left cheek, as the end of the whip just nicked it. When he withdrew his attack, she lowered her arms, putting back on her smile. She glanced around the wreckage of the area, giving a small whistle before turning back to him.

She locked her silvery blue gaze with his golden one, "Well that was fun…" She reached up and whipped away the bit of blood from the small cut on her cheek. "Well I'll take that as a 'you're not wanted here'…" She snickered… "Well since it's obvious you're not interested in friendship or even acquaintanceship, I suppose I shall take my leave…" she gave him a little mock bow, then turned and started to walk away, "Well see you around."

Sesshoumaru narrowed his gaze at the inu bitch that now walked away from him. She, like his brother had, was walking away from him. This was not acceptable… He was not about to be ignored; this she-dog had to learn the importance of finishing what she started. With a burst of his effortless speed, he moved in front of Seishi, blocking her path as he stared down at her, "We're not finished yet, you will finish what you started." He glared at her with his golden gaze.

Seishi lofted a slender, elegantly curved brow as she regarded the male inu demon before her. He loomed over her, being a about a good six inches or so taller then she, and his burning gold orbs bore into her icy silvery blue ones. This was the closest she had been to him, since she had kept her distance… for good reason, especially since he did end up attacking her… though in all reality she might have invoked him a little…

As they stood there in a sudden silence; she just looked up at Sesshoumaru, studying him, as he glared down at her; waiting for her reply. She took notice of small things, his full scent being one of them. She also noticed as the wind blew at the empty sleeve on his left side, that he was missing his left arm… that was a shame… his only flaw probably… physically anyway… She saw plenty of personality flaws. Although he was handicapped, he seemed to get along just fine without that arm. She had kind of thought something was odd about his left side, since he favored his right when attacking… now she knew why.

Her mental analysis only took seconds, and then she merely gave Sesshoumaru a friendly smile and replied calmly, "Excuse me… But you did tell me that if I were wise I would turn and leave… then when I didn't, you attacked… thus, you are the one that started it, and I merely moved to keep myself from injury. I see now my company was most unwelcome… so… if there is nothing else, I shell continue on my way and you may continue on yours…" She nodded her head to him, and then moved to walk past him.

Little did they know… they were being watched…
