Chapter 11 : Witch Miu and the mirror of Erised.

"Why have you called for me, my Lord?" A middle aged human woman bowed before Sesshoumaru´s throne in the Great Hall of the Western Lands.

"You are not allowed to speak." Sesshoumaru drawled from his corner. "This Sesshoumaru, heard you have the ability to see the future." He paused. "If so, can you see the present as well?"

"Yes, I can, my Lord."

"Very well. Though, what has been said in this room, would remain in this walls. If your word is broken, this Sesshoumaru will kill you."

She nodded in agreement. "Everything my Lord wishes."

"I am in search for a ningen girl." He explained lazily.

Jaken stumbled in, with him was a very big wooden box. That seems to be too difficult for him to carry. He just dragged it behind him with a knot.

"Here are her things." Sesshoumaru stated.

She clutched inside her thick obi. A small round mirror framed in wood appeared instantly.

Jaken watched with mild fascination and Sesshoumaru, well…. Not that interested, as always.

The witch had started searching for something in the box. She observed all her things, schocked by the expensive things, a mere human couldn't have afford. She kept wondering who the girl was, to the cold hearted Lord. In the box was finest silk, gold jewelries and beautiful pearls. She knew she couldn't ask. But… than again, this curiousity is killing her.

"My Lord…." She hesistated. "May I ask, who is this girl? Is she a hime?"

"Do you need such information for the search?" Sesshoumaru questioned, sounding a bit annoyed.

She nodded.

"Rin is," Sesshoumaru started thinking, "my ward." He thought long before saying those words.

The witch nodded, not really believing what he just said. She knew what it could mean for her if she press the situation further. She knew that the old saying is true. Curiosity killed the cat. Okay, but she has to know, in some other way. Glitters caught her eyes.

"My Lord. Maybe, you can help me with the search. It is something I have not yet done. Her face is not known to me neither." She started.

"Tell this Sesshoumaru what he has to do." He said, trying not to sound desperate.

"My Lord must only look inside this mirror." She bowed her head, offering the mirror in her hands to the Lord atop the thron.

Jaken watched as Sesshoumaru slowly stood to take the thing off the filthy human´s hands.

He stared inside, seeing nothing but himself staring back. He felt kind of dumb following the orders of some low life creature. But, he was desperate to retrieve Rin. He stared into the mirror interntly. Then, there it was. Just behind him. Rin stood, waving and smiling at him. "Rin." He called turning around to look at her. But she wasn't really there. He stared at the woman kneeling infront of him. "What kind of illusion is this?" He asked narrowing his eyes when the woman met it.

"It is not illusion. The mirror holds the truth." She stated mysteriously.

"Woman. This Sesshoumaru has no time to analize the meaning of your speech."

"I, the beholder of the mirror can see things from the past and future." She explained. "But others who looks inside, can only see things they desire most."

Sesshoumaru stared blankly at her. Masking his shock.

The witch Miu hid her smirk.

"Continue." He said, he has been wondering if he should spare her or kill her for tricking him like that.

But her help will be needed to find Rin.

Or maybe not….
