Summary: Midoriko corners a famous inu youkai.



She pointed her sword at the back of the powerful gray-haired youkai surveying the burning village over a hill.

“Stay where you are, devil, or meet the sting of my blade,” Midoriko warned him, and he stood silent and unaffected by her threat.

“Stand down, young miko. I am not your enemy.” She tensed when he began to turn around, meeting her eyes with ferocity among his mirth.

“You burned this village. You are youkai.” She narrowed her eyes at him. “You are my natural enemy.”

“Ah, such prejudice.” She noticed the richness in his tone, tinged with maturity and authority. Was he really the cause of these fires? “I speak the truth. These Western lands are mine, and I search for the vermin who are attacking my followers.”

She had to keep her hand from shaking when she realized just who he really was. “You are the Daiyoukai, the white dog that flies within the heavens.”

He seemed pleased she knew him, though she firmly stood her ground, her sword pointing rigidly.

“I caught the sent of dragon youkai in the air, who are my enemies. They are the ones you seek for destroying the human villages.” He paused and his brow lifted. “If you think I lie...”

“Perhaps not,” she said, lowering her sword slightly. “However, you have given me a lead.”

“Shall we find them together, miko?” he suggested, and Midoriko instantly frowned.

“I do not work with youkai, not even those as legendary as you,” she remarked rudely.

“A pity,” he said, and she felt uneasy as his eyes roamed her body. “We would fight so well together.”

Midoriko considered it, but she was still unnerved. “Your reputation precedes you, Daiyoukai-sama,” she said, finally putting away her sword. “Powerful, of course, but also a vulgar rogue.”
