Thick chains lying casually across his broad shoulders, Sesshomaru cursed the hanoyu, feeling his half brother’s aura once again migrate, energies swirling around his person in cardioid loops. Elfin ears twitched as light footsteps approached. Not to alarm any of his escape, the youkai slid furtively behind the thick material of a decorative curtain, elegant fingers sliding along the fabric to settle the material. The woman walking past was unfamiliar, her scent speaking clearer than any words. She was exited, scared, and, judging by the strength of scent of death that clung to her skin, she was elderly. Taking another deep breath, Sesshomaru felt a trace of a rather familiar stench.

‘She must have seen the half-breed.’

The unknown woman gasped fruitlessly, barely able to breathe as the chain pressed firmly around her throat, links digging into the skin of her neck. Sesshomaru pulled her closer, crashing her form against his chest as he hissed lowly: “Woman, if you want to see the light of day, you better lead me to where they keep the hanyou.”
