I.

[dai_yokai]

[When Sesshomaru first speaks, his voice is low and emotionless.]

I see that I am no longer in Japan. [He pauses, taking his time to word his thoughts. This is certainly not a demon who rushes through life recklessly unlike his brother, Inuyasha.]

What demon was powerful enough to bring me here? [In his world, there are humans and demons. There

[Really, Tseng shouldn't be so thrilled that there's another new arrival who seems even more confused than he was. But he didn't mention demons or homicidal feelings toward a sibling or anything quite that insane. He doesn't want to entertain the notion that other universes might actually have demons. Not yet.]

You came here through a gateway. Not by the will or hand of anyone else.

[dai_yokai]

[Sesshomaru is adverse to communicating with humans, but considering the situation...]

How would you know? [He doesn't believe Tseng. Humans are either stupidly honest or crafty liars. He can't imagine why his family chose to consort with so many of them.]

[fingersloophole]

Because I only recently arrived myself. I have allies here from my home. People who would not lie to me. [Funny how he already feels that way. And he wasn't even driven to them by desperation.]

It seems to happen at random. No one controls coming or going.

[dai_yokai]

Are they humans? [The all important question about their adequacy as confidantes.]

The mist says otherwise.

[dai_yokai]

[This one is more interesting than the last.]

I will believe in the Door when I see it for myself. [He is silent for a long moment.] The mist is not the work of humans.

[dai_yokai]

I have never heard of the Veneficus. [He actually sounds thoughtful.] You do not fear it. [Yes, he picked up on that subtlety.] Are you a demon?

If there's anyone or anything who's responsible for our being here besides the Door itself, they've yet to show themselves.

And I don't believe I've encountered any demons in this place, but there are some here who are not strictly human. Shinigami, for one.

[Sasori used to another, by his own hand. It still rankles him that he was reverted when he was brought to this place.]

[Voice]

[dai_yokai]

Then they are either extremely devious or cowards. [In either case, Sesshomaru will not go easy on them.]

Is that so? [He exhales, an amused note contained in the airy sound.] You have met one.

[Voice]

[eternalscorpion]

[He hears that little bit of mockery. Hmph, and here he's been trying to be helpful. He won't be providing this newcomer with Mello's city guide.

He doesn't let his irritation show in his voice, however.]

Several. Their chakra levels are more than sufficient to make me take them at their word. I'm sure you'll encounter one or the other sooner or later on the network.

[dai_yokai]

[Sesshomaru mocks everyone. Don't take it personally.]

So there are demons in this land. [He is getting conflicting reports on that.] I fear no one.

[ voice ]

[xnoble_reasonx]

[He hears that dangerous note and. pleasant mood or not, he does not approve.]

You will cause no unnecessary trouble.

[ voice ]

[dai_yokai]

That is for you to decide?

[ voice ]

[xnoble_reasonx]

It is.

It is the only warning you shall receive.

[ voice ]

[dai_yokai]

It sounds like you're serious.
