Mesuinu: a tale of Inuyasha
*episode 10*

“This is Terrible!” Enjo exclaims. Mesu retorts, “Save the commentary, and the sermon. What was so important that you couldn’t say it in front of my friend?” Enjo sits down on her shoulder and crosses his arms. He says, “Since your abrupt, and unannounced departure, your father has been gathering what information he can about your whereabouts and doings. Many stories have reached us; you running wild, causing annoyance to human lords, and one unsubstantiated tale of drunken debauchery which I refuse to believe.” Mesu says, “I had a little sake; that does not constitute drunken debauchery.” Enjo says, “Indeed. Anyway, your father remained patient through all of these rumors believing that you would come to your senses and return to him. However, lately a new kind of rumor has reached him; one he cannot endure. I have now seen with my own eyes that our worst fears are true. You, my lady, have taken company with a mongrel half-breed. This cannot be allowed to continue.” Mesu asks, “Is the old fart coming after me?” Enjo says, “No, he is not. But he cannot allow this affront to the honor of your clan to go unchallenged. He is, as we speak, readying a war party. They will find this Inuyasha and kill him. They will not take you back if you do not wish to go; but you will have to find a new companion; hopefully one more fitting.” Mesu turns and begins walking back toward Inuyasha. Enjo shouts, “Lady Mesu, be reasonable! You cannot protect him from your father’s wrath; however there is another option.” Mesu stops and looks to the flea. He says, “If you care anything about this half-breed and do not wish him to die, you must return to your father of your own free will. Only that could leash his vengeance. I will return to your father; I will urge patience and delay. But he will come; you must act before he does.” With that said, the flea jumps off and departs.
