XII – Hayla

 The next morning, Tenseiga was washing the kimono Sesshoumaru in the lake when he wakes up and sees the girl approaching him, with his kimono completely clean. Humbly, the delivery girl clothes for him without saying a word, because it had fallen into itself the acts she did last night.
  The youkai wore clothes without taking her eyes. Tenseiga felt ashamed for what he had done, but had no courage to apologize. He walked over and put his right hand on her shoulder, comforting him look made ​​the girl feel better.

  They followed the path to the castle of Hayle, the sovereign leader of youkai exterminators. It would be a difficult task to get a single drop of perfume that was it, but had to try. The gates were open, as if waiting for his arrival, but no, the queen had left and was returning that very moment.
  Realizing the arrival of youkai, Hayla left the carriage and was ready to attack Sesshoumaru, however, Tenseiga stepped in front of the boy, prepared to fight when he said:
- I'm here for a noble purpose, so there's no need to fight.
- No youkai come here with some other noble purpose but to destroy me, that would be different with you?
- Because I need your scent to revive my human wife who died.

  Hayla kept the sword and looked at Sesshoumaru admired because nobody ever asked him something so simple and so noble. Was suspicious at first, but seeing the glow in the eyes of sincere youkai did not doubt the principles and gave him a bottle of her perfume.
  Before leaving, the Queen of exterminators Sesshoumaru called for a brief conversation:
- I can see that you are confused with your choices, Sesshoumaru. If you do not want to regret not necessary to break the prophecy but does not give the final component and most importantly your poison.
