air.
The
Sengoku Period generally was, after the domestic turmoil, a pleasant
time for both demons and humans. Sesshoumaru, who had limited human
exposure (specifically to Rin and Kagome—the latter forcing
friendship to the demon), still maintained the view that humans were
like insects, although barely above the lowest species. This said, it
could thereby be concluded that Sesshoumaru still preferred
human-free places. He believed that once granted that, his home would
prove to be a relaxing abode for a demon lord of his status.
But the puppy-like presence of the younger girl and the somewhat annoyingly cheerful attitude of the older girl made his little wish impossible to achieve. Jaken was a different story. He was the type of servant who knew his master to an extent, giving Sesshoumaru private time for himself.
Therefore, he decided to get some fresh air outside his castle and away from the two females (asking himself why the hell did he attract human females?).
He sat down on the lush grass and laid his back on an alpine tree, planted hundreds of years before. His body demanded rest and sleep, something Sesshoumaru was willing to give at the moment. His nose picked up a certain smell, however, and upon looking up, he saw the silly grin of the sixteen-year-old girl wholly directed at him.
A growl resounded in his throat, successfully catching the attention of Kagome who was sitting atop the tree's branches.
"What brought you out here, Sesshoumaru?" she asked, looking deceptively innocent.
"Seeking
for less-suffocating air," he said plainly. "Unfortunately, I
came to the conclusion that not a space in this castle is free from
human infestation."
