Sesshomaru climbed up the side of the well and ended up in a clearing surrounded by trees. He frowned, where was he? There were no city buildings in sight anywhere. He looked around the area again, before heading towards the forest. Maybe there was someone there who could tell him where he was.

He soon came upon a familiar and welcome sight of the Goshinboku. He quickly moved closer to the tree, before stopping at the strange site before him. There pinned to the side of the tree was a girl with dark hair and white puppy ears on the top of her head. She had been there awhile from the vines wrapped around her body. Sesshomaru tentatively stepped closer to get a better look, when a voice called out from the surrounding forest, "Hey! Get away from that tree!"

Sesshomaru turned towards the voice to see a bunch of men and an older woman watching him closely. It was the older woman that slowly walked towards him and inquired, "Who are ye?"

Knowing to be polite, he answered, "My name is Sesshomaru."

"Why are ye here? Ye do not look like ye belong here?" the older woman pointed out.

Sesshomaru shook his head, "you are right. Truthfully, I am lost."

"Ye will come with us back to our village, and we will find out more there," she stated, before turning to one of the village men, "Head back to the village. Everything is handled here." Turning back towards Sesshomaru, she gestured for him to follow her, and together they made their way to the nearby village.
