The Youkai's Bride
Chapter 2
Sesshomaru couldn't believe what he was seeing and he had seen plenty of weird things in his lifetime.
Such as his servant, Jaken, in a blond pig-tailed wig saying he was a "pretty girl" but that was beside the point.
He was just about to climb up the giant tree when the window had opened and various articles belonging to a woman came flying down. A brush hit him right on his shoulder.
Sesshomaru dodged the other items and he moved deeper into the shadows.
His youkai sight made him able to see his bride clearly, as if it was day, climb onto the ledge.
Sesshomaru had to resist the urge to tell the woman to get off there before she broke her neck, when she suddenly jumped.
Sesshomaru instinctively raced forward to catch her.
-----------------
Kagome quickly grabbed a hold of a fat branch and held on for her dear life. She thanked Kami for all the miko training her father had put her through.
If she had been a regular girl she would have lost her grip and would have found herself with a broken neck.
She waited until she quit swinging back and forth violently and surprisingly gracefully started wiggling her way down the trunk.
'Just don't look down. Just don't look down,' was Kagome's mantra she kept repeating to herself all the way down the tree.
Her kimono dress got tangled up in another branch, and by the time her feet touched the ground the hem of it had worked its way up and over her head.
Kagome righted her kimono and let out a long, ragged sigh.
"Miko training or not, that still was a pain to do," Kagome whispered to herself.
She knelt down to the ground to gather her belongings and wasted precious minutes putting on her riding gloves. Dusting her riding cloak took up even more precious moments of her time.
'I mean, that is if you count the fact that I have to adjust the garment around my shoulders tie it in the right position and then I have to fit my bag under it and get that on my shoulder also. SEE THAT'S TEN MINUTES OF MY TIME WASTED!' ranted Kagome in her mind as she quickly did everything she listed.
Kagome stopped ranting mid-thought when she swore she felt a presence behind her.
She whirled around quickly but she saw nothing both trees and shadows. For a second Kagome swore she saw a flash of silver but quickly chalked it up to her imagination.
Like she had said many times before she didn't have time to worry bout such things.
Kagome quickly rushed to the stables behind the house to see Shippo her servant there with a horse just as she expected.
Kagome smiled as she drew closer to Shippo. He was cute kid. Not to mention he had the biggest emerald green eyes she had ever seen.
With bushy red hair that he kept in a ponytail and big green eyes with a sugar sweet smile he was irresistible!
"I gots the horse for you, Lady Kagome," Shippo said with that adorable smile of his while holding out the reins of a magnificent ebony horse.
"Thank you so much, Shippo. You really are my favorite servant," Kagome whispered, her smile still in place as a small blush crossed his cheeks as she kissed him slightly on the cheek.
Kagome quickly mounted herself on the horse and winked to the youth before she galloped as fast as she could towards her uncle's town house.
----------------------------------------------
Sesshomaru followed closely behind on foot as he saw his bride quickly gallop off to the upper part of the village.
Of course this was no hard task for Sesshomaru. As if a simple horse could even do a hundredth of Sesshomaru's speed.
Sesshomaru had to admit he was curious. He wanted to appease his curiosity before he grabbed his bride, tossed her over his shoulder, and headed for the docks.
In the back of his mind, was the irritating thought that she might be trying to escape him again.
A slight growl rumbled slightly in his chest at the thought.
But he quickly dismissed that as a idiotic thought, for she couldn't have possibly have known about his plans to kidnap her.
Where was she going?
He mulled that question over in his mind while he continued to trail her.
She did have guts, though. He found that revelation more shocking that it should have been. It was probably cause he expected her to be like all the rest of the Higurashi's.
Yet she'd already shown him a glimpse of real courage.
He hadn't heard her cry out once out of fear as she had thrown herself from the ledge. The woman had gotten herself caught up in the branches, and then practically prayed her way down the tree, in a low and fervent voice that had Sesshomaru fighting a smile.
He'd gotten a healthy view of her long, shapely legs while she was in such an unseemly position and he Sesshomaru had to restrain himself from laughing out loud.
The one downfall to this woman Sesshomaru realized was that she was blissfully unaware of his presence . Sesshomaru had never thought a human could be quite this naive.
He knew they were naive but he had no idea they were THAT naive.
If she looked back from the horse she was on, she would certainly see him.
'She never did bother too look back,' thought Sesshomaru, with annoyance.
He assumed she was going to call on her Uncle Jaten when she got off her horse and stood on his bottom step of his residence and stared up at the the dark windows a long while.
'Of all her relatives,' thought Sesshomaru, with disgust, 'Jaten was the most disreputable.'
Sesshomaru for once was at lost for an answer at why she would want to call on the spineless bastard such as Janten in the middle of the night.
She wasn't there for a visit, Sesshomaru knew that for sure when she crept around to the side of the townhouse. He followed her, then lounged against the side gate to make sure no other intruders would follow.
As he folded his arms across his chest, he smirked slightly as he watched her fight her way through the shrubs and breach the house through the window.
It was the most inept burglary he'd ever witnessed.
She spent at least ten minutes trying to open the window. That accomplishment didn't last that long. She was about to hoist herself up onto the ledge when she tore the hem of her kimono.
Sesshomaru saw the glare she gave kimono as if it had asked itself to get ripped and while she was busy glaring daggers at her kimono the window slid back down right back down on her fingers.
He heard her give a very unladylike curse as she fell back to the ground and he had to hold back laugh.
He had to admit this woman was certainly interesting.
After about 5 minutes blowing on her sore fingers, she returned to her purpose. Getting in through the window proved to be far easier for her than opening it.
With surprising grace, she landed silent as a cat in the room.
Sesshomaru almost had to wonder if she snuck into houses regularly. After waiting about a minute or two he climbed as silently as she did through the window.
As his youkai sight could see quite clearly through the darkness he didn't have to worry about his eyes adjusting. His human bride on the other hand seemed to be having a difficult time.
Sesshomaru heard a loud crash that sounded like glass hitting stone, followed by another unladylike curse.
Kami, she was loud.
To human it was pretty loud, but a person with demon hearing such as Sesshomaru it was as if someone got a bull horn and blew right next to his ear.
Sesshomaru strolled into the foyer just in time to see Kagome rush up the steps to the second story.
Sesshomaru noted with a frown as he noticed the crazed woman was actually muttering to herself.
Kagome would never make a proper thief. He could hear the doors being slammed open and shut and he knew it was his bride. She was going to wake the dead if she didn't quiet down soon.
What in Kami's name was she looking for?
A loud yelp of surprise filled the air.
Sesshomaru allowed himself a wary sigh. He started toward the stairs to save the daft woman. If this is what it was going to be like everyday Sesshomaru know knew for certain he would kill himself.
He suddenly stopped when she appeared at the landing. She wasn't alone.
Sesshomaru moved back into an alcove and waited.
Golden eyes slightly widened when he finally realized the true reason for her errand.
Kagome had her arm around another woman's slumped shoulders and was assisting her down the stairs.
The other woman's face was tilted down and felt a slight irritation at not being able to see her face.
But he could tell from her slow, hesitant walk that she was either very feeble or in terrible pain.
"Please don't cry, Kaede," his bride whispered. "Everything is going to be fine now, I'm going to take you somewhere safe."
She quickly removed her riding cloak and placed it on the other woman's shoulders.
"I knew ye would come for me, Kagome. I never doubted for a second," Kaede's voice cracked with emotion as she mopped at the corners of her eyes.
Sesshomaru noticed the dark bruises on her wrists.
He recognized those marks.
The old woman had been tied up.
---------------------------------------------------------
Kagome fingers gently tucked a loose strand of her aunt's hair behind her ear.
"Of course, I would come. I would never would leave you here to rot," Kagome whispered.
Kaede gently grasped the lingering hand. "Whatever would I do without ye, child?"
Kagome let a small smile play across her lips. She tried to make her self as soothing as possible, for she knew if she wasn't careful her aunt might lose her control.
The searing pain she was feeling in her tounge for biting on it to hold back her angry curses was doing little help for her patience.
The fury she felt when she'd seen those bruises on her aunt's face and arms, it almost made her want to weep.
Kagome's hand shook as she reached for the door lock.
"How did you find me?" Kaede asked from behind.
"It matters not now," Kagome muttered as she worked the lock free and opened the door. "We are going to have all the time in the world to visit after we've boarded the ship. I'm going to take you back to your island."
"I can't."
Kagome looked back at her aunt with an incredulous look on her face.
"I just jumped from my window, asked my servant to steal my own horse, had to climb THROUGH a window, just to save you and you tell me that you don't want to leave!" Kagome voice become hoarse through her whispered yells.
"Janten took my wedding band," Kaede explained. She shook her head. The silvery cluster at the crown of her head immediately sagged to one side.
A look of horror crossed Kagome's face.
"That Son of a...HE TOOK YOUR WEDDING BAND!" Kagome exploded, the last shreds of her patience and control vanishing before her eyes.
Kaede cringed slightly at the fury in her niece's voice.
"Please, Kagome, I can't go without my wedding band."
Kagome's face went from red hot fury to a sort of evil calm that was somehow more terrifying than before.
"Where...is...he?" Kagome growled, between deep breaths.
"Well," Kaede seemed to hesitate as she saw the anger radiating off Kagome in waves, "he's usually drinking tonight in that little pub."
Kagome took a deep calming breath before she smiled slightly and nodded. Her stomach clenched in anticipation in what she was going to do to Jaten when she got a hold of him.
"Do you think you could walk around the corner? I asked Shippo to bring hack so we could get away faster," asked Kagome looking at the way her aunt leaned heavily against the door.
Kaede seemed to straighten posture up at this comment.
"Don't act like I'm an old crock already. Of course I'm up for a walk," Kaede answered, walking or more like limping briskly out the door. Her limp was stiff as she slowly made her way down the street but she quickly stopped as she grimaced in pain.
Kagome quickly rushed to her side.
"Your in a lot of pain aren't you, please at least let me hold you up," Kagome pleaded.
"Nonsense," Kaede scoffed. "I"m already feeling much better, come along child." Pulling out of Kagome's grip and walking ahead.
Kagome quickly ran to keep up with her and looped her arms through Kaede's as they walked to where the hack was waiting for them.
'Jaten is going to pay for what he did.' Was the only thought on her mind as she climbed into the hack waiting for them.
But perhaps maybe if she looked back for one second she would see to golden eyes watching her the whole way.
Sesshomaru thought that the old women might have seen him as she had climbed into the hack. She had glanced back at looked exactly where he had been hiding or maybe it was just his imagination because she quickly turned back around and climbed into the hack.
His bride certainly hadn't even acknowledged his presence. For some reason this seemed to annoy him slightly. She seemed to be having a heated argument with the driver before she agreed to his price.
The hack automatically was in motion and Sesshomaru was quickly right behind.
His bride was certainly making her own kidnapping repugnantly easy. He had her tell the old woman that they would leave Japan by boat. He therefore assumed they were going to the docks.
He was slightly surprised when he saw it quickly veer towards the right and stop in front of a small pub.
She was going after the damn wedding band, he thought with irritation almost radiating off him. Sesshomaru felt his nose crinkle in disgust as the smell of sweat and intoxication filled his senses.
This why he preferred not to drink.
Sesshomaru felt his body tense as he prepared for a battle. He walked closer towards the light and the hack to make sure the men loitering in front of the pub would see him clearly.
His nails filled with his deadly poison ready to attack at any minute.
They noticed him. His eyes which were slightly pink at the edges scared some of the younger ones and the four that remained eye's automatically went to the ground to show they meant no harm.
The driver of the hack climbed down from his perch and went to the window where he had a whispered conversation with his bride, with that done he quickly hurried inside. A few minutes later the driver hurried back to his perch muttering curses about damn women and he better be getting a big bonus because of this.
Another few minutes passed before a greasy, sour-faced man with what seemed to be rolls of fat coming off him came outside. His haori was practically hanging off his body as he swaggered towards the carriage.
'Disgusting,' thought Sesshomaru resisting the urge to cover his nose at the man's scent.
He cleared his throat as he came towards the carriage's window.
"Boss or Jaten, is too damn drunk to come outside," he announced, almost proudly. "We came to this part of town so we wouldn't be recognized." he added. "I'm here instead, m'lady. Your rude driver said there was a woman who needed something, and I'm thinking I'm that exact something she needs."
The disgusting man eagerly waited for answer. As if he expected Kagome to jump out of the carriage and ask him to take her right there.
The stench that was coming from the man and into the carriage was enough for Kagome to gag. She automatically covered her nose with her kimono sleeve and turned to her aunt and whispered, "Is he really a servant of Jaten?"
"He most certainly is," her aunt whispered almost indignantly, "he's the one who helped your uncle kidnap me."
Kagome felt the familiar cold fury she had been feeling a lot tonight.
"Did he strike you?"
Kaede just looked down but that was answer enough for Kagome.
The disgusting servant couldn't hear a word of the whispered conversation and leaned forward to get a better look.
Sesshomaru automatically started to walk towards the lucid man ready to rip him apart limb from limb with his poison claws for leering at HIS bride. His eyes already starting to bleed red but stopped in mid step as he saw a small fist fly through the carriage window and connect perfectly in the side of the man's bulbous nose.
The man obviously not prepared for the attack started howling in pain, staggering backwards, and tripping over his own feet. He cursed soundly not even expecting the carriage door the flew open and hit him right in his disgusting fat belly.
The man pretty much did a flip in the air and landed right in a huge mud puddle. Kagome ignored the hoots of appreciation from the few men leaning on the all, her full attention was on the man sprawled at her feet.
Kagome felt the angry and disgust fill her as she glared at the man sprawled on the ground. She stood over him looking very much like an avenging angel.
"If you ever strike a woman again, I promise you a very slow and painful death, sir," Kagome said calmly with cold fury laced in her every word.
"I've never hit a woman before in my entire life," whined the servant as tried to catch his breath.
Kaede's head peeked out the window her own face alight with anger.
"Your a shameful liar, Maru, and I can't wait to see you burn in hell for it," she called out.
The servant, now identified as Maru, eyes widened as he saw Kaede. "How did you get..."
Kagome interrupted his question by giving him a swift kick in his gut. Maru's gaze went back to her automatically, his stare insolent. "You think you have the guts to hurt me?" he sneered. "The only reason I'm not ripping all that pretty hair out of your head right now is because I'm sure my master will want to beat you soundly himself."
"Do you have any idea how much trouble your in, Maru?" Kagome spat, spitting his name out like it was poison. "My husband is going to hear about this offense and he will come for you. The inuyoukai of the west is feared by everyone, even disgusting creatures like you. When I tell him what you have done to my own kinsmen he will do it to you twice fold. That youkai does whatever I tell him to do, just like that." She snapped her fingers for effect. "Oh, now I think I have you scared sir," she added when she saw Maru's expression. He look downright terrified and was starting to scoot backwards as if trying to get away from something.
Kagome felt a strange sense of satisfaction that her lie had worked so well. She didn't realize that Maru had gotten a good look at the towering inuyoukai a scant two feet behind her. His eyes glowing red in the darkness with blood lust.
Kagome had actually thought she had struck some terror in the man.
"My husband kills people like you all the time, like killing a cockroach. If you don't believe me remember he is a full blooded demon," she announced.
"Would you like me to go in with you, Kagome?" Kaede called out.
Kagome's fury filled eyes never left Maru's for a second when she gave her aunt her answer. "Don't bother, Kaede. You aren't dressed properly for the occasion."
Kaede continued to lean out the window and her eyes widened as she saw Sesshomaru standing behind the clueless Kagome.
Kaede quickly noticed how the silver-haired youkai was keeping the men at bay. His mere presence was intimidating, not to mention his height. It didn't take her that long to notice he was actually protecting Kagome.
She thought about calling out to her naive niece to warn her but decided against it. She was so focused on her goal she wouldn't have probably even hear her. Kaede would wait to mention this new found protector when she had accomplished her goal.
Sesshomaru kept his stare on Kagome. His bride certainly surprised him greatly. He was having difficultly coming to terms with the fact that SHE surprised HIM. He had seen what cowards the Higurashi family could be and this woman was nothing like that.
She was brave in her defense of the old woman, and Kami, she was what people would consider terrifying when she was in a fury.
Of course, it didn't frighten him. He had seen a lot more frightening things in his lifetime than a small black haired woman in a rage.
Was she in a rage though. He half expected her to pull out a shogun sword and rip his heart out. She was angry enough.
Kagome stalked past the servant and paused to give him one last glare before hurrying inside the tavern
Sesshomaru immediately walked over to Maru, with a look that could kill. He snatched him up by his neck, lifted him high into the air, and then flung him against the stone wall.
The last few men who had watched this whole thing scattered like mice. Maru hit the wall with a dull thud and then crumpled to the ground.
"Good sir?" Kaede called out. "I believe you better go inside now, I think Kagome will be bound to need your assistance yet again."
Sesshomaru growled as he turned around, fully prepared to remove the old women's head from her shoulders from order him around before he heard whistles and hoots of laughter coming from the tavern. Those gained his full attention as he growled in frustration, he slowly let the poison in his hands fill and stalked towards the door.
Kagome located her uncle Jaten hunched over his ale at the center of the tavern at a small round table. She was ready to do whatever it took to get her Aunt's wedding band back. Yet when she approached his table and saw the silver band on his finger she lost her resolve. She grasped the bottle of sake he was drinking and poured it soundly over his head.
Kagome watched in disgust as she realized Jaten was so drunk it took at least a few minutes to realize what happened as he looked up at her stupidly. It took him awhile to focus on her properly and she quickly slipped the ring off his finger and put it on her own.
"Kagome...? What are your doing here? Is something wrong?" Uncle Jaten said his words slurring together as he asked each question. He slumped in his chair as if the effort to talk to Kagome in his drunk stupor was a difficult achievement. Jaten then noticed the empty bottle of sake.
"Where's my sake!" barked Jaten to the barkeep.
Kagome could not hold the look of disgust on her face as she looked at her uncle. Even though she was sure he wouldn't remember a word she said in the morning she was ready to give him a mighty tounge lashing.
Kagome held back the urge to mock him and just gave him a cold glare.
"Your are disgusting, Uncle Jaten. If my father knew what you were doing to poor Kaede he would have hung you by your loins from the top of the mountain."
"What you saying?" Jaten asked, rubbing his forehead as if her voice was grating on his nerves. "Kaede? Your screeching about that damn youkai lover?"
Before Kagome could even insult him for making that horrible insult he blurted out, "Your father is the one who set the plan up. Don't go throwing a tantrum at me, girl, for I'm not going to tell you where she is. We know what's best for people like her."
"PEOPLE LIKE HER! You have no idea what's best for her! All you wanted was the inheritance that she has so you could pay off your gambling debts! You were going to send her off to an insane asylum, weren't you!" shouted Kagome, making every eye that wasn't already turned to her stare at her openly.
Jaten's blood shot eyes shot back and forth as if looking for another place to look other than his empty sake bottle or his niece's enraged expression. It was then he realized that she had poured his sake over his head.
The mere anger at this made his pounding head start to pound even more.
"You don't know any thing, child. Now get on home before I give you a sound beating on your backside." slurred Jaten angrily at Kagome.
A snicker sounded behind her at this comment and Kagome whirled around to glare at the man.
"Stay out of this, sir, or you'll be finding that sake bottle stuck somewhere that hurts," Kagome snapped. She only whirled back to glare at her uncle when the man turned away from her sapphire gaze.
"Your lying, my father would never sink to your level. As for hitting me, do so and feel the pain of my husband's wrath. I'll tell him," she stated, with a nod. Kagome felt a little silly for using her husband as a threat but seeing how well it worked last time she had some hope that it would work again.
It was a vain hope however as this only seemed to make Jaten take her less seriously as he laughed boisterously.
"Your as crazy as Kaede is if you think a inu youkai would come to your defense. I could beat you know and no one would notice, especially your husband," he snorted, saying the word husband sarcastically.
She was so involved in her anger with her uncle that she didn't even notice that some of the customers were slowly edging their way toward her. Sesshomaru noticed. The man he assumed was the leader was actually licking his lips in anticipation of the women he thought he would be enjoying.
Kagome soon realized it was useless to try to reason with her uncle. He was so drunk it was like trying to talk to a 6 year old.
"Here I was uncle hoping you would apologize for what you did but now I see was wrong. That would take a real man with honor to do that, but as you've proven to me so far you are nothing but swine."
Her uncle rose up fully prepared to slap her but she easily dodged him. She stopped backing away when she ran into something solid, turned around, and found herself surrounded by several drunk men. All of them were in a serious need for a bath.
Everyone was so enchanted by Kagome they didn't even notice Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru realized with disgust that they were so engulfed with their lust they didn't even think of caution. Sesshomaru leaned back against the door in the corner waiting for one of them to make the first move.
It came almost in slow motion and when the first man grabbed ahold of Kagome's wrist Sesshomaru let out a growl of outrage. The sound started quietly but soon filled the whole room. The sound was deep, guttural, and deafening. Not to mention effective.
Everyone in the tavern froze, everyone but Kagome. She turned slowly with widened eyes towards the source of the noise.
She would have screamed if she wasn't used to seeing demons in blood lust. And not to mention that her throat had closed up on her.
Her body immediately went tense as she felt the strong demonic aura coming from the man. Kagome's heart unconsciously started slamming within her rib cage.
He had to be the most dangerous looking man she had ever seen. He was at least a head or two taller than she was and with his long silver hair, lean form and glowing red eyes he didn't exactly look like the type you wanted to go up and hug...Kami, he was staring at her.
He motioned to her with the crook of his finger, his eyes never leaving hers.
Kagome shook her head, for some reason she felt uncomfortable just being around this man. No she took that back, this demon with his piercing gaze that seemed to demand respect.
His aura was so strong the miko in her was starting to feel weary at just the presence.
His eyes seemed to narrow at her defiance and inclined his head slightly as if to order her.
The room began to spin. She simply had to pull her gaze away from his but it seemed impossible. Kagome tried to find something she could focus on something that would give her a reason not to go to him.
He was obviously a dangerous youkai but he didn't look evil. He at least looked like he bathed unlike most youkai she had seen in the past. His skin was as pale as ivory and almost put hers to shame. His sleek silver hair pulled back neatly at the nape of his neck. His haori seemed to fit him snugly in all right places and seemed not to have a wrinkle in sight.
Didn't the bad guys always seem to wear disgusting, rumpled clothes, didn't they? Therefore he couldn't be that bad, Kagome trying to reason with herself knowing she sounded like an idiot. Her thoughts were interrupted when he motioned for her to come again.
Kagome looked around hoping he meant someone else but there wasn't any one else.
He crooked his finger at her again.
"Come to me."
His voice was smooth, deep, and commanding. Kami help her, she was already walking toward him as if in a trance.
She couldn't help but think he looked familiar.
The moment her foot had took a step forward all hell broke loose. The sound of a whip cracked through the air and the scream of pain from the fool who had touched her filled the air. She never looked back at the commotion as her gaze stayed locked on the demon who was methodically destroying the tavern.
He made it look so easy. A simple a flick of his wrist and a whip that seemed to be poison coming from his finger tips made a new scream or crack fill the air.
Kagome noticed that the closer she got to the darker the red of his eyes seemed to become.
The inu youkai was obviously not in a good mood. Kagome decided she would at least let this youkai protect her until she gained her wits. It was a perfect plan, the moment he wasn't looking she would run out of the tavern and race to the docks.
All she had to do was get the raging inu youkai away from the door.
Kagome suddenly felt a hand grasp her shoulder, glanced down at it, then heard the crack of a whip. That seemed to snap her out of her thoughts and she ran as fast as she could to the youkai standing before her.
She figured she had a better chance with him than with the men trying to get her now.
As she approached him his eyes turned her and she felt a little surprise to see they were no longer blood red but a molten gold.
The color was hypnotizing, intense.
Kagome felt her miko energy drown in his youki. But she could feel it wasn't evil, it was an almost comforting wave and it surprised her. It was like being drunk almost.
She smiled slightly as she began to feel weightless. She felt like she was going down a tunnel and on the way this youkai was the sun.
Sesshomaru caught her before she hit the ground. He noted as he tossed her over his shoulder that she was in a full out faint.
Some what disappointing, I thought she might actually be a somewhat respectable human, but I conclude she is like all the other fainting human woman out there, Sesshomaru thought with a slight disappointment.
Why he was, he had no idea.
Sesshomaru's eyes scanned the cavern just to make sure he didn't miss anyone. Bodies lay all over the floor almost in huge heaps in each corner.
Somehow I don't feel satisfied, Sesshomaru thought, but this is when he noticed the disgusting man that was his bride's uncle cowering under a table. His choked sobs sounding like a harsh grating sound to his sensitive ears.
Sesshomaru had to resist the overwhelming urge to kill the man as he approached. He swiftly kicked the table across the room to see his prey.
"Do you know who I am, monk?"
Jaten seemed to be in shock and all he could manage to do was shake his head trembling.
"Look at me, you disgusting human."
His voice filled the tavern, promising extreme pain if he didn't do as said. Jaten hesitantly looked up to the avenging demon.
"I am the inu youkai of the west. If you ever come near my bride or that old women again, I will not hesitate to remove your pig head from your shoulders. Do you understand?"
"Y...Y...You're him?"
Sesshomaru gave him a sound shove with the tip of his shoe and turned and walked from the cavern, his hair flowing behind him.
