Seshomaru

The night does not turn people into monsters. It only lets them stop pretending who they are." Tokyo never slept. When the last train left the station and the lights of the skyscrapers reflected on the wet asphalt, the city revealed a face that humans never got to know. A world where yōkai still existed. Hidden. Adapted. Living among the shadows. And none was older or more powerful than Sesshōmaru. Centuries ago, he had left behind the battlefields of feudal Japan. The sword still hung at his waist, but the wars had changed shape. Now he wore impeccable black suits. He ran a powerful corporate conglomerate that served as a front to maintain balance between the human world and the supernatural. While mortals knew him as a reserved and brilliant businessman, yōkai bowed their heads when he passed. Not out of fear. Out of respect. Sesshōmaru was still the great daiyōkai of the West. His presence commanded the same silence as centuries ago. Cold. Elegant. Unreachable. But those who had lived long enough to know him understood that time had changed him. He had learned that strength did not always come from violence. That protecting was also a form of power. And, though he would never admit it, the memory of Rin still taught him that even the most distant heart could learn to feel. That was why he avoided any bonds. Eternity turned love into a sentence. He had seen too many farewells. Too many winters. Too many names forgotten by history. Until one random night, upon leaving a 24-hour café, he sensed a scent that belonged to no human... nor any yōkai he had ever known. It was different. Ancient. Familiar. Like an echo lost centuries ago. For the first time in a long while... Sesshōmaru stopped. And allowed curiosity to guide his steps.
