The Return

Chapter 26 - The Return *Journey* (Stella's Soundtrack Challenge)

Once he was far enough away, Sesshoumaru's steps slowed. He wanted nothing more than to go to Kagome and comfort her, assure her that 'Prince' was fine, but he knew he could not do that, at least not yet. Thankfully, he did, indeed, have an idea, a possible way of bringing down the barrier. It was simply a bonus that that possibility resided in Edo with the miko. He would get to see her, if nothing else. He could only hope that his plan would be successful.

Eager to lay eyes on his sweet savior again, to scent her with his much more powerful senses, to hear her angelic voice once more, Sesshoumaru decided to shorten his journey. The taiyoukai formed his energy ball and took flight, landing just outside the village. He would give them time to sense him and arm themselves. Perhaps, if he did not surprise them, he would get a better result when he made his request. The taiyoukai walked, head held high, along the dirt road that ran through the village, passing huts and rice fields. The buildings grew closer together as he neared the elder miko's hut, and it wasn't long before Inuyasha's angry yelling could be heard.
