UNTITLED (so far) Prologue

Sesshoumaru was intrigued. Amused. Amused was a better word.

He had concealed himself in the forest surrounding his brother's camp. Currently, he was watching the so-called "demon slayer" teach the young miko how to fight. Sesshoumaru had already seen first hand that the girl had some level of skill with a bow and arrow, as well as a fair amount of power. For a young human girl.

However, watching her now, there was no sign of her previous strength. The girl, Kagome, laid spread eagle on the ground, dirt and pieces of plants covering most of her body. Sesshoumaru could smell the faint hints of blood on her, indicating scratches somewhere under that layer of mud and filth. Still, she retained an underlying pleasant scent, despite the other scents of sweat, blood and crushed leaves. Many human villagers he had passed in his travels smelled much worse, which explained much of his revulsion toward humans. They stunk.

The young demon lord was drawn out of his thoughts by laughter coming from the miko.

"Sango-chan, Bruce Lee has nothing on you. I think I'm going to be sore for a week!"

Sango merely smiled at what she knew to be a compliment, even though she had no clue who this Bruce Lee was. She was used to Kagome mentioning strange people and places from her time. From what she knew of Kagome's era, there were more than enough strange things to keep a person occupied for several lifetimes. It still amazed Sango that Kagome was able to transition so well from the modern era to the feudal era. From what Sango had gathered, the modern era was a time of freedom, where humans traveled around the world, which Kagome assured them was much bigger than their native island. Modern "tek-nol-o-gee" took care of so many of the everyday tasks that implied living to Sango.

'Eh.' Sango mentally shrugged. 'I prefer the simple life myself. Life is already hard enough without a new whole world to worry about'.

"Come on Kagome, let's go to the hot springs."

Sango took the huge grin on Kagome's face for the acceptance that it was, missing the smaller, yet no less happy smile that she had a few seconds earlier. Earlier, when she had looked into the tree line at a pair of glowing, golden eyes.
