The Sorceress 「 2. The Assistant 」
Author’s Note: I’ve decided to do a weekly update every Thursday until I’m caught up to the current chapter I’m writing. Let’s hope I won’t catch up ‘cause then that would mean updates will have to slow down!

Chapter 2: The Assistant
Sesshoumaru froze and he stared at his hands, seeing only normal blunt nails instead of sharp claws. His concealment spell was still in place, so he wondered how it was possible that this person knew he was not human.
“Who are you?” Sesshoumaru demanded, keeping his voice even. His guard was up, prepared for a defensive attack if need be.
Emerging from behind the drapes was a tall, slender male with auburn hair braided just barely past his shoulders. His emerald green eyes twinkled with the same amusement as the smirk that graced his face. “My name is Shippou,” he introduced himself, “I assist the Sorceress in her shop.”
“The Sorceress?” Sesshoumaru relaxed, seeing the other male was no threat. He noticed several tails behind the figure. “You are a demon, too.”
He nodded, one of his tails flicked. “A fox demon,” he clarified, proud.
“What is this place?”
“A shop,” Shippou answered, further amused when he heard a faint annoyed growl in the back of the other demon’s throat, “That specializes in granting wishes.”
He stepped forward, grabbed the watch Sesshoumaru was still holding, and placed it back into its spot. “And since you could see this shop, it must mean you desire something.”
