Sesshomaru searched for what had been stolen from him with vengeance burning hot in his mind. When he found the people who had kidnapped Miroku and Rin, they were going to wish they were never born. He spent the entire morning looking until he finally found their scent. He moved with speed beyond sight until he was standing in the middle of a pack of youkai. He smelled fox, several different elements, wolf and… bear. Sesshomaru turned and glared in fury at the bear youkai that Miroku had released the other day.

 

“You found us, eh?” Asked one of the wolves. Sesshomaru switched his gaze to the speaker, controlling his rage, as always. The bear was hiding behind another youkai now, having stared death in the face, literally. “You got here faster than I was expecting.” Sesshomaru remained silent and waited for the fool to go on talking. If he took very long, he would kill one of the pack and ask his question. For each question he had to ask, he would kill one of these fools here. He had counted thirty-six, so he knew there were more than enough to get his answers. “I suppose you're looking for those mortals that you were wasting your time on. We took care of that problem for you.”

 

“How so?” Sesshomaru asked. His stomach tightened painfully as Miroku's scent became stronger and he focused on the source—an unidentifiable youkai male. He had his hand on a box that wasn't big enough to carry either of his ningen. He scented Rin as well and he was filled with the urge to flee and never see what was in the box. It was childish, but the scent was too strong to just be an article of clothing. That meant there were pieces of people he cared for about to be presented to him. He hoped everyone in this clearing knew that they were dead.

 

“The great lord Sesshomaru doesn't need to be playing with filth. We cleaned up for you.”

 

“And who asked you to?” Sesshomaru asked. There was no need for him to kill anyone for his questions now, since everyone here was already dead.

 

“When the runt told us what you were hanging around with, we took it upon ourselves to ease your burden. Especially since he said something about the ningen ordering you around.” The wolf leered at him. “And if it's men you like, I could easily find a use for that sweet ass of yours.” Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed without his consent and he felt himself frown. He was having trouble controlling himself. Then the box was handed to the wolf, who was obviously the leader and some of the anger ebbed away, replaced by fear. The box was large enough to have a head in it. If that was what the youkai pulled out, Sesshomaru wouldn't kill him or the bear immediately. They would suffer first.

 

The lid to the box came off and Sesshomaru caught the scent of blood. One scent was Miroku's, the other Rin's. But there was more than blood. The wolf reached in and slowly pulled the contents out. Black hair slowly emerged and Sesshomaru's vision went red. It ebbed somewhat when the hair ended. It was Miroku's ponytail, his blood matted in it. The second piece was revealed to be Rin's ponytail. Sesshomaru waited for more body parts to come out, but that was all.

 

“We figured you might want to see what was left of them, so we made sure to leave a part behind,” he said with a laugh. Several of the surrounding youkai laughed, but more were silent. The stench of fear was rising. “There's nothing else left, of course, but I thought you might want a souvenir.” He threw the hair at Sesshomaru's feet. Or rather, where his feet had been a moment before. Sesshomaru was now standing on the other side of him, the wolf's head in his hands. Everyone froze as the arm dropped back to the body's side and Sesshomaru had killed the next in line before the body finished falling to the ground.

 

Some of the youkai ran to fight him, others ran from him, but none left the clearing. Sesshomaru used only his claws, not savoring a single death. He was filled with rage and grief and nothing else. He left only one alive… to ask one last question. “Where are their bodies?”

 

“There aren't any. Seiji was given orders to destroy them utterly. We just took the hair and he left,” the fox blubbered. Sesshomaru tore his head off and flung it away from himself, then threw his head back and roared to the heavens.

 

“Sesshomaru?”

 

Sesshomaru froze. He turned and looked in the direction of the query. What he saw caused a sharp pain in his chest. His stomach lurched and a new rush of adrenaline left him feeling light and unreal. He stepped forward, certain that he was hallucinating. How the mighty have fallen and how low had he descended to be thus tormented? He had finally lost his mind. But no, the scent didn't lie. It wasn't blood or hair, but flesh and skin.

 

“Miroku,” Sesshomaru answered.

To be continued…

 

Well, at least we know Miroku's alive. Right?
