Prompt from Stella Mira's Soundtrack Challenge #8: Across the Borderline
The next day after half a day of travel with nothing particular happening other than the sky finally clearing and leaving the forest behind them, they finally reached a village—the youkai village, Kagome guessed. They were still too far away for her to see it in great detail, though.
She frowned, puzzled. “Hey, Sesshomaru? I thought you said there was an aura around this place. I don’t sense anything, nor do I sense the youkai within. It’s strange.”
“The village is protected by a barrier. It does not prohibit entrance but masks demonic energies,” Sesshomaru replied without breaking stride.
CLIFF NOTE #1:
The barrier Sesshomaru refers to makes it impossible for human's with spiritual powers to sense the village and the demons within.
