the underworld at my heel

Jaken readily moved out of Sesshomaru's direction to allow him to get a full glimpse of the strange woman. He had his suspicions about the girl back at the castle but to have fate intertwine the two of them again made this all the more alarming.

Sesshomaru looked down at her pale face with a mix of curiosity and glowered pity. It wasn't the first time that a woman was offered to him and although it wouldn't be the last, it wasn't of his desires from the beginning and well off into the end.

He took detail of her silver-blue hair, her flushed skin, her shallow breathing and her scent. He couldn't shake the sweet engrossing aroma that surrounded her. It was a mix of jasmine, rice wine, and sweet incense. He could hint little bits of Opium here and there but it was nothing too significant that turned him away.

Jaken looked over to Sesshoamaru in both worry and anticipation - just what was he thinking? His indifferent expression left a lot of room for interpretation but not enough room for interpretation.

"M-my lord?"

Sesshomaru said nothing but walk closer. A-un kept his positioning low as Sesshoaru continued to hover. His focus fixated on her uneven, scattered breaths for long enough until They arrived.

The demons from the underworld began to form around her feet and move up her thighs. He assumed Jaken not to notice but her abdomen was covered in blood - no doubt an injury from her escape.

The demons surrounded the girl with hungered, lustful eyes at the rare sight in front of them. She was a pure-blooded demon, a young one at that. A young.. Attractive one at that. But he was ready to take that admittance to the grave. He could see them salivating at the mouth, murmuring amongst one another at how delectable she would be in the underworld.

Without announcement, he unsheathed Tensaiga from its glowing hilt. The frown in his face deepened as the intensity of its glow brightened more and more as the seconds passed by. It was speaking to him. Warning him not to let her go to the underworld. He didn't want to be told what to do nor did he want to be nagged at the consequences of dishonoring such a valuable weapon in his itinerary.

The demons from the underworld surrounded her head, only to be blindsided by the overbearing light that emanated from his blade. With one swift swing, there was an ear piercing Woosh Accompanied by the crackle of lightning that caused each demon surrounding the girl to vanish. An eerie silence surrounded the camp as Sesshomaru returned his sword back to its sheathe - all he could do is wait.

Jaken hovered over the girl for any changes in her skin color or even her breathing, but it looked as though she stopped. He pushed down on her abdomen a few good times as a last resort, curious to see the end result. It only took a few more pushes for the girl to cough frantically as if she were coming from underwater. She wheezed for air, sputtering over her own minuscule fragments of breath.

Sesshomaru continued to look down at the girl, his expression unchanged. Shifting his focus to onward and upward from the supposed hill she stumbled from, he turned on his heel without further delay.

"Ah! My lord! What about the girl?"

Sesshomaru grew weary of Jaken and his announcements. Without giving way of how annoyed he actually was, he looked over her shoulder.

'We're leaving, Jaken. The girl stays on A-Un."
