Lost and Found

Lost and Found

Sesshoumaru exhaled loudly, paying no attention to the meeting going on around him. When the table fell silent he looked up and caught his associates staring at him. Clearing his throat, they took it as a sign to continue, and he once again was lost in thought.

He had always been a fearsome man, but perhaps over the past five centuries he'd lost some of touch. He couldn't fathom what it was about that girl that made him want to help her.

It was true the girl was not his, nor would she ever be, but she was the first real thing he'd found in over 500 years. She was the girl who, in all her naïve wisdom, had threatened the most powerful youkai of the time. She had cheated death more than any person had a right.

And so, on her behalf, he made a call. And waited for answers.
