Chapter 5
Wisp of the Future
The night was beckoning her to allow her tired limbs their much-needed rest, but the Daiyoukai was having none of that. The unfortunate miko had been walking for almost a day now-without rest-as punishment for tricking Sesshomaru earlier. It was a battle of wills and stubbornness now.
She was taking every atrocious path he had given her—rocks, hills, mud and cliffs—valiantly. He wanted her to fail, to recognize she was weaker and beneath someone like him, but she was having none of that.
Two more hours and the miko's body plopped down, inert. The Daiyoukai turned and glanced down at the unconscious miko. Green claws dripping with poison neared the woman's neck with intent. She dug her own grave... It was in this moment—where he was about to impart judgment on her—when an outlandish scent hit him.
Astonished, he moved closer to her-and the curve of her neck-and inhaled. Sweet scents, known and unknown, made him reconsider, and he let her live. It was proof enough. She really was from the future. Was she really sharing information from the future with him?
Leniently, he took her on his arms and sought a safe haven.
She may be from the future, but he was no ordinary dog. She better understand she was not going to train him.
To be continued…
Thanks for the reviews everyone!
