Sesshomaru made his way down the stairs and out to the courtyard, following the noise of people shouting.
Bloodied soldiers wearily argued with Ssesshomaru's retainer.
"You Insolent Fools!" Jaken screamed. A guard drew his sword.
"I won't stand here and listen to you bash my soldiers. You don't know what happened back there and you aren't even going to let us say anything?! I don't think so. Now if you want to keep your head I suggest-"
"Captain but the sword away. Jaken, go lock yourself in a cell. Now." Sesshomaru said. Jaken always irritated him. Why couldn't the imp just die already? Sesshomaru sighed as Jaken scurried off to do Ssesshomaru's bidding.
"Captain, what happened?" Sesshomaru turned his attention to the man in front of him.
"We were attacked sir. The prisoners escaped and three of my men are dead." The man said. His voice was clipped and restrained. Sesshomaru let his gaze wonder over the small company. The men were haggard and dirty.
"How many attacked you?" he asked.
"Just one. That's the surprising part and our shame….." the captain rubbed the back of his neck wearily and looked back at his group as they struggled out of the armor so the medics could look them over.
"Can you give this Sesshomaru any more information?"
"I can do better than that. How about a name? Bankatsu and Naraku. They took off with Inuyasha and kikyo. Good riddance but I know he's not going to kill them." The captain growled.
"Go with your men and rest. Soon enough we will avenge your men and kill the rodents." Sesshomaru said.
He held back a low growl. It wasn't the captain's fault. Actually, Sesshomaru was impressed with the captain and his human team. Only three had died. If Bankatsu and Naraku were as powerful as the captain had made them seem then they had actually done pretty impressive.
Sesshomaru sighed and ran a hand through his long hair, pushing the bangs back. A hand on his hip as he surveyed the courtyard. Suddenly, he felt a tug on his sleeve and he glanced down to see Shippo holding on to his white sleeve. The kitsun glanced up before looking around.
"don't worry."
