The Shadows come (Sango / Open)

[Anko Shosuro]

Through the trees and forests the shadows moved in quick order toward a single village off in the distance, it was the village of the priestess Kaede, among others and it was one of those others that had drawn these shadows to the village during the twilight of this day. They moved, silent and scentless, leaving not trace in their wake for they truly were shadows, they were of the Goju family, shadow demons in the service of Clan Bayushi to the north. As the shadows reached the boarder of the forest that faced the forest the shadows stopped on the tree branches the undulated slightly and formed into solid forms. The leader of this group was Anko Shosuro and she looked at this village with disinterest. The Village was unimportant after all, it was one of the people in the that she cared about, the demon slayer Sango.

With a movement of her hand she indicated that her agents were to spread put and watch the village, and she knew they would attack if the need arose. Once they moved out Anko herself moved into the village seeking out the woman she wanted. As she searched the village for her target she eventually reached the hut where Sango currently was and Anko allowed herself a small, and temporary smile, which quickly vanished as the shadow demon took a silent step into the hut. "You are the one called Sango." Anko said, and it wasn't a question, the ninja was simply stating a fact as she started what in her mind would be a very short dialog before she continued her mission.

Sango had been relaxing after a hard days work, She looked up at who entered, excepting Miroku or Kagome, but noticed the foot steps were too light. Too soft. She turned her head and improvidently jumped up, Grabbing her Hiakuous with her, Prepared for an attack, this person she did not know, a stranger was in her hut. Yes. And who are you?! Sango questioned. Her voice calm, not wanting to threaten the Woman right away. Sango looked at the Girl with her dark brown eyes.

[Anko Shosuro]

The masked woman looked at Sango as she prepared for an attack while trying not to appear threatening, though Anko failed to think how anyone would consider someone going after a weapon of that size anything but threatening, but since she made no overt act of aggression Anko would not respond in kind. When questioned about her identity Anko made no visible reaction, mainly due ot her training and partially due to the act that Anko had anticipated this. "I am unimportant, who I serve matters. I have been sent here for you Sango of the Taijiya, The Master of Secrets wishes to speak with you."

[rin]

Sango listened to the girl speak. With a closer look she was a demon. Sango relxed a bit seeing she would not attack " why me? And what bussiness does e ave with me? I do not wish to kill a demon for bounty." she told her. Careful with her words "if I agree to go, what will happen?" sango wanted to know. And felt she deserved to know.

[Anko Shosuro]

Anko remained unmoveding and expressionless, here to serve as a mere messenger rather than any other task she would normally be doing, but given that she had been sent here rather than some other told Anko all she needed to know about the importance of this mission and she would fulfill it to the best of her abilities. "I am not privy to the motives of my lord, but you are the daughter of the last leader of the Taijiya and that village now stands within his lands. If you answer my Lord's summons I will take you plus any guests you wish to his palace at Kyuden Bayushi where you will speak to Lord Bayushi."

[rin]

Sango did not know what to do or say, but she figured it had to do with her abilitys as a demon slayer " alright. I will go, as will my companions." sango turned her head and saw a figure coming towrds sango and the demon girl "that looks like one of them right now." sango commentd as her demon cat killala jumped on her shoulder

[InuYasha]

InuYasha being the nosy fool he was had overheard Sango talking to someone else which seemed like a female voice. What bother him though was that no scent lingered to this being. Maybe his nose wasn't working or something. That had to be it because InuYasha could smell anything! His ears flickered as he listened to Sango say they would randomly go somewhere. Just what in the heck was she thinking? They didn't have the time to just go off somewhere. Yet, Sango never agreed to these sort of things out of no where. So he was also a bit concerned.

InuYasha had entered the hut that both Sango and Anko were in, still not to pleased about all of this right now. He couldn't make out what Anko was just yet, but he wouldn't attack if there was no need. Sango was the only other person in his group that had some sort of brain. He leaned back against the front of the hut and put his arms in the sleeves of his kimono. Looking from Sango to Anko, he spoke. "Look, I don't know what big plan your lord has but we can't just leave. We've got jewel shards to find and a demon to kill. What was he really want?" His voice showed his slight annoyance. It was just the way he always was.

[Anko Shosuro]

Anko turned and looked at Inuyasha as he spoke and took note that he was a hanyou, not that Anko had anything against Hanyous, after all her children were Hanyous, but given that he was a dog hanyou Anko took a small amount of pleasure that her lack of scent would likely be confusing him. Though she did not show this, her training was better than that, and that same training made the dog's feeble attempt to ferret information out of her useless. Though when he mentioned the shards of the Shikon jewel and a demon Anko remembered some of the standing orders from her lord, and that made her mission all the more important.

"As I told Sango of the Taijiya, I was not informed as to the nature of my lord's wishes, only what I needed to know to carry them out. And as to your mission, the first is how do you know that answering my lord's request will not aid your search, and secondly, if you seek the spider demon then my lord does not only wish to speak to you, he demands it. And it would be wise to not refuse the Lord of the North." Anko's words were cold and calm, not a hint of emotion in them, it was as if she was speaking the simplest thing in the world and not the veiled theat she had actually uttered. And even as she spoke shadows circled the village, awaiting orders.

[rin]

Sango looked at inuyasha as he entered the scene. She heard his words and the demons words as well sango nodded her head. "she's right inuyasha. This makes it ever more important. And it would be wise not to argue about this. Were wasting time as it is." she turned her head to look at the girl " lead the way."

[Revlis]

His ears flickered at Sango's words. He still had no idea about this new lord of the north guy. Though if he had a thing or two to say about the Shikon no Tama and Naraku, he'd go. "Fine, but this better not be a waste of my time in the end. If it is, then you'll seriously have some explaining to do," he threatened. He glanced back down at Sango for only a moment, wondering what they should do about Miroku, Kagome, and Shippou who were no where to be found right now. Well, maybe they could just send Kirara back to get them later.

[Anko Shosuro]

Anko's eyes shifted between the dog Inuyasha and Sango as they agreed to follow her back to see her Lord. With a light smile she said, "That is, a wise decision. You will be expected at Kyuden Bayushi in the Northern lands within the week. Here is a map to its location. " With a slight move Anko's hand cast out and a piece of parchment at their feet, and it was a map of the Northern lands and it showed where the palace of the Bayushi clan was located. She had no intention to escort them to the palace, and that wasn't her mission, she needed to return to the palace to inform her lord that company was coming. Once she said this she closed her eyes for a moment then turned and walked out of the hut, straight through the wall without damaging it in the slightest and then was gone, and the shadows that stalked the village vanished as well, their purpose here finished.
