Prompt from Stella Mira’s Soundtrack Challenge #12: Outside the Castle

An hour later found him outside Akahito’s crumbling castle, guards and high ranking youkai cluttered around the courtyard. Without wasting time, he confronted a group of guards.

“Where is Akahito?”

“Shouldn’t he be with you, Sesshomaru-sama?” one inquired, before an uproar began, where men demanded where their lord was.  

Impatient, Sesshomaru informed them just who their precious lord was, and how he had been instrumental in the destruction around them. He wanted answers, demanded to know right then and there where Akahito would go—to hide. However, instead of cooperating, the guards turned hostile, disbelieving his claim concerning their lord.
