The Unquiet Winds
Chapter Fifteen: Correspondence
Sesshoumaru was waiting in traffic for a train to pass by when he got a phone call. Looking at the caller ID, he sighed heavily with slight anticipation. He was somewhat expecting this call, but he didn’t think it’d be this soon. Perhaps in all honesty, the timing was a good thing.
“Yes, what can I do for you, Shippou?” he answered, his eyes staring at the train as it sped by.
“Hey, you old bastard, can’t talk long but I thought you’d like to know that she’s here, and I’m helping her whether you want me to or not,” he told him.
“There is no reason for antagonism. If you can help her, it would be a burden off my shoulders. I cannot get within meters of the woman without causing her unknown harm. Please call back if you find out anything,” Sesshoumaru said, and after Shippou rudely insulted his character, he ended their phone connection and exhaled, relieved the train had rolled by.
“Sorry about that Natsumi!” Shippou called, clicking off his mobile. He returned to her table with a smile on his face. “Had to make an urgent phone call. Now, tell me what you’d like to know about youkai,” he said, resuming their conversation. “Some would say I’m sort of an expert.”
She frowned slightly but her eyes looked hopeful. Shippou couldn’t believe how unalike Kagura this woman was. However, as he got to know her, maybe that would change.
“I’m looking for a particular youkai, Shippou-san,” she told him bluntly and continued, “But I don’t think it’s going to be easy.” She looked mournfully at a stack of books, opening them idly and flipping through pages. She met his eyes again with desperation.
“I need to find out everything available on a youkai called Kagura.”
