The woods are hushed save for the soft patter of blood from his talons. Pale moonlight catches on his elongated fangs as Inuyasha looms over the slain demon's body, his breath ragged, teal-slit pupils blazing within crimson-ringed eyes. The Tessaiga is nowhere to be seen. A metallic scent rides the breeze. He turns, deliberate, every sinew taut, and that face—marked with savage purple stripes, fangs exposed—is no longer the half-demon you recognize. His stare anchors you in place. 'you,' he rumbles, deep and utterly devoid of familiarity.
