~Sesshomaru~

He knew that the one who held such power, had sensed his presence. Someone with power such as his could be sensed by nearly everyone, even some ningnes who didn't even hold the powers of a miko. He could feel the power advancing towards him, signifying their arrival. The monk and slayer landed on their feline behind him. They said not a word, so he didn't doubt they felt the spiritual power as well.

They stayed situated where they stood, as he did not feel the need to move forward. Soon enough, a young girl, not much younger than Kagome advanced towards them. She stopped when she was about 10 feet from the odd group. Though he did not show it -as he rarely did- Sesshomaru was baffled by the girls age. How could such a young girl hold such a foreboding power?

His eyes flitted over her body, in wonder if the girl was actually much older than she appeared, and if perhaps she bore a youth spell. She was dressed in village clothes, doning a grey and blue kimono, with silver linings around it, and insription details throughout. Her hair was strawberry blonde and he assumed knee length. She wore mostly up, in a high, curled pony tale. Though some strands flew loose, as though they had fallen while she was doing something in the feilds. Her face was petite, seeming to small for her large green eyes. Her lips were full and red, and closed tightly. In her hands was a small dagger, nothing worthy to fight his person with, but most likely enough to fend off any on wanted ningens, and with the help of her powers, lowly youkai. He saw he tightly she clutched it, her knuckles turning pale white.

The slayer moved from behind him, slowly walking forward, her weapon strapped to her back, and her hands out carfully. Though she wore her slayer uniform, she even with the gesture she looked rather intimidating. She stopped just in front of his person, lowering her hands to hang at her sides.

"We are not here to harm you." She spoke loudly, yet carfully, he assumed to sound as if they meant no harm.

If she does not help us find intended, we will do her harm. His beast demanded, suffering in pain at the loss of Kagome. Sesshomaru was hiding it well, but in fact, he was indeed in exscrusiating pain. As though his heart was still slowly being cut and tore from his very being.

I do not think that is wise. He responded, thinking of her. His beast understood and sighing in his head.

No... Kagome would not be happy if she found out she did... Though Sesshomaru thought it was impossible, he thought he heard his beast sniffle.

"What business could you possibly have here?" The miko girl demanded, sounding not at all pleased with their arrival. He knew it was because of his presence. When the group travelled before, they were able to go village to village without care in search of jewels. Now they were stopped, because he, Sesshomaru was to powerful for the villages protector. He could feel her eyes boring into his body. He looked up and met her fire lit green eyes, with his menacing golden stare.

"Ahem." Sango glared back at him. He couldn't help it though. That was his facial set when in front of people he held no care for. Sango looked back to the girl.

"We are here, because we are in serious need of your help." Her voice cracked and Sesshomaru could smell the salt of her tears building behind her eyes.

"Our friend is in great danger, and we need the help of an extremely powerful miko. Our own village miko was resently.. killed." She took a moment to breathe, needed to stop herself from bursting to tears.

"What danger has your friend been intertwined in?" She asked, curiousity seething in her voice. Her eyes were constantly flitting from the slayer girl infront of her, to the foreboding inuyoukai. His ego grew a tad larger at her need to watch him.

"She was kidnapped, and taken to a place no one else be she and her capture can go to." The monk explained from behind him. His voice held nothing but sadness.

Intended has many loved ones... His beast mused.

Of course she does. Over the time that she's been here, she's been nothing but caring to everyone she passes.I have only ever seen her hold true hatred towards Naraku. She never even hated Kikyo, Inuyasha's dead mistress. Sesshomarus thoughts were full of admiration. He knew, that if he ever found his Kagome with another, that not only would he loath them, but probably kill them. Yet she always found it in her heart to walk away from them when they were found out. To leave them alone, and seeth by herself. He knew this, because over the years, he had watched her from time to time. Not that he'd ever tell her.

"A place none other may enter?" The girl mused. "I don't like the sounds of this." Her green eyes were hard.

"We do not lie-" Sango cut off, seeing Sesshomaru advance towards the girl.

"Miko." She raised her hands up in defence, sweat dripping from her forhead.

"Stay back youkai!" He stopped inches away from her. It took much effort, but he let his ice cold mask slip away, showing the pain he held inside. He'd shown no one before now.

"Miko, you must help us." His voice was low, only for her hearing. He saw her eyes widen.

"This girl whom they speak of, she was indeed captured. She is my intended. I need her back." His golden eyes looked shattered. "I love her, and my retched half brother took her away from me. We need you to help us. Help me." He ended on that note, hoping to win her over.

"You're... You're not just lieing to get me to help are you?" She was still unsure. He shook his head.

"I never lie." His voice was stern, and his mask back up. Hesitantly, she nodded.

"I will help." She spoke louder for the others to hear as well. "Follow me." Sesshomaru did not turn around, and simply followed the miko to the village. He heard the slayer and monk follow behind. His youkai hears also caught them whispering.

"What do you think just happened?" Sango whispered, confused.

"I have absolutely no idea." Miroku replyed.

"All well." She sighed, and the followed the youkai and pristess in silence from there on.
