As Inuyasha approached the source of the demonic aura he got a whiff of something…familiar. It took him a few minutes till he was able to place the scent. Blood, it was definitely blood and it was fresh only a few hours old. The scent was coming from the exact same direction as the demonic aura! As he got closer and closer to the village the smell of blood became mixed with the stench of rotting flesh. With every step he took towards the village the stench intensified 10 fold. Inuyasha noticed that the demonic aura was increasing as well. At the same rate as the stench.
"Interesting," thought Inuyasha "They must be coming from the same place!"
When he finally entered the village he gasped in horror at the sight. The town had been completely decimated. Small fires burned here and there indicating that the attack had happened not to long ago. Rotting corpses littered the ground. There seemed to be piles of them everywhere. There were a few buildings that were still standing but everything in them had been completely burned out. The foul odor was almost more than he could bear he could barely breathe.
As he stood there gazing at the ghastly scene he noticed something. The demonic aura was stronger here than any other place; as if it was concentrated right here in front of him. Inuyasha grasped Tetsuaiga ready for anything. But then he noticed something this aura was…different. It was not the same one he had been pursuing it was slightly different and now he could no longer detect the original aura that had sent him to the village in the first place.
Damn! How could he not have noticed this! When did it change? And where was this other aura coming from? Both answers seemed to point to the village. The village…Yes! Everything had changed when he entered the village! It had to have! That to be it! That's when the aura changed! His first priority now was to find out what this new aura was and where exactly it was coming from. He could worry about finding the other demonic aura later.
While he was standing there planning out his next move he saw a figure standing at the other end of the town enshrouded in mist. As the figure stepped forward the mist dissipated and Inuyasha was able to recognize the figure immediately.
"Sesshomaru" He hissed
