Chapter 2

He continued walking a prowling around his territory; the light spring breeze blew through the trees then twisted its way through his hair that then shone in the sun light. Cherry blossom petals fell at his feet as he walked along the forest flooring. He gave a quick sniff and he recognized the sent that swirled across the air, it was the sent of running water. He change his direction and headed for the stream, he didn't know why he was going there he just had a feeling that he had to be there. He had been walking in the direction of the stream for about fifteen minutes when a strange yet familiar sent hit his keen sense of smell. Being a dog he had to memories this sent for future reference just incase it meant danger, so he raised his head into the air and took in the sent. After he had memorized it he continued on his way to the stream.

As he cleared the forest and came out onto the open river bank he saw that the icy river was no more then an ordinary stream. It looked calm and pure as the water reflected in the suns raise and created a rainbow across the stream. He walked graciously over to the side of the river then bent down beside it. He placed both his hands in the water and then cupped them and brought them to his mouth. After drinking down the water he stared at his reflection, he hated his human form for he thought he looked disgusting. "One day when I concur over these lands I won't have to stay in this disgusting from" he said to himself. As he said this he caught that strange sent again, he looked up to see a young female silver Inu youkai being surrounded by three wolf demons on the other side of the river. Sesshoumaru stood up and looked at this woman as she had her back facing him. She was wearing a white kimono that and a red silk belt tided around her waist. In it hung a long sword that was covered by it's sheathe, her brown hair was tide back into a high ponytail that fluttered in the breeze. "She can't be more then seventeen" Sesshoumaru thought to himself. He went to turn away since this concerned him in the lest but he found that his body wouldn't allow him to move. His eyes were almost glued to her figure as she stood there growling at the wolves. One of them lunged themselves at her but she ducked and the wolf landed behind her, she quickly rolled over and faced the one that was getting too sure of itself. It lunged itself again but she grabbed its right paw and held it to the ground with her fangs around its neck. It moaned in pain as she squeezed tighter, slowly the air in its lungs left its motionless body. She dropped it to the ground then growled at the other two, they ran off into the forest with their tails between their legs. She gave a quick smirk then turned around and faced Sesshoumaru. Her eyes were blood red and her claws were extended, she bared her fangs that dripped with the blood of the wolf she killed. She gave one loud growl before collapsing to the ground. Sesshoumaru stared at her with curiosity and amassment for he had never seen such a determined female except for Susana. He watched her motionless body as the wind blew across it and blew her sent into the air. He leapt across the river to where this demon lay unconscious. He looked down at her and reconsiders this sent. "This demon has the same sent as mine yet different, her sent was the one I picked up earlier. And yet she seems to have the same sent as Susana as well." He gave her another look then picked her up and carried her across the river then into the forest.
