(A/N) Hello… *sweeps aside cape and grins fanged grin*(yes, yes I am in a very dark, spooky mood right now). If you've come for a gory horror story, you've come to the right place! *Hisses laughter* It really is a shame, that InuYasha has that… condition that makes him transform. And rather sad. But, it certainly makes for a good Halloween story! This is a three chap story, chaps one and two outlining the same events with different POVs, and chap three being from my POV. Who am I? Well, for the purposes of this story, I am death…
I, as death, own your soul, but, sadly, not InuYasha.
What's worse: going through hell and then losing yourself, or watching your love go through it??
InuYasha's POV
The demons had Kagome. My feet flew over the grass. I will not let them get away.
My pulse pounded in my ears. Wind buffeted my long silver hair, my fire-rat's robe billowing out like a cape. Two days ago, a group of bandits had come, and taken Kagome. Bandits, I could deal with, but, when I had tracked them down, I had found their camp ravaged by savage demons. They had taken Kagome with them.
Now I was tailing them, intent on getting Kagome back.
I came to their camp a little before sundown. The humans wore human form; they also stank of human blood. Kagome was tied in the center of the camp, her feet under her and her hands tied above her head. The demons sat around her, drinking Sake and a variety of foreign spirits. I watched, my blood boiling, as one of them staggered up to her, leaning in close. She cringed back.
The demon reached out and ripped a strip off of her uniform, half-falling into her. Kagome screamed. I just couldn't watch anymore. I lunged forward, half-blind with fury. One of the demons darted forward and grabbed Tetsusaiga before I could draw it, ramming the hilt into my gut. Another demon rose up behind me and cracked the hilt of his weapon over my head. My vision hazed and hearing dulled. Kagome was screaming my name; I dug my feet in and pushed forward toward the sound. I pushed back the demon in front of me, the one who had Tetsusaiga.
They laughed at me, taking turns slashing at me with daggers and blades. My robes were soon soaked with blood, and pain made everything sharper. Kagome, Kagome, Kagome…
Suddenly, my demon blood screamed in my veins to get out.
No!! I thought. No I don't want to lose myself now!!
A demon laughed, spitting in my face.
Blood pounded through my battered and bleeding body. Blood dripped onto the ground with every step I took. I felt my demon blood surge within me as I fought against it. My whole body was on fire, and I fell to the ground, writhing, as my eyes flickered, gold to red, red to gold, gold to red…
The kicking felt far away as I fought my inner demon. Even Kagome's screaming had faded away. No… I though. I have to rescue her… I can't lose now!!
His heart pounded, bouncing against my ribs, feeling, with every beat, like it was about to burst. Agony from the fire burning in my veins tore through me, and I was forced to give vent to it in a long, bone-chilling howl of pain, fury, and helplessness. The demons had stopped tormenting me now. I could smell their fear.
My body jackknifed off the ground without me consent. No!! I screamed in my own head. My body won't obey me!! I felt my own clawed hand reach out and grab a demon by the neck.
My grip tightened, and I watched in horror as the creature flopped like a fish, its blood spurting from between y talons. No! I screamed at my body. Stop!! His grip tightened. Bloodlust flooded my mind, almost making me lose my grip on reality. I fought desperately to keep control of my mind, at least.
I clenched my eyes shut tightly, though my grip on the demon wouldn't loosen. As the demon went limp in my grasp, blood and fear smell wafted all around me. My eyes flashed open, every nerve in my body on fire.
B-Bump.
A sound like a piercing siren went off in my head.
B-Bump.
My blood dance for joy when my claws sliced through flesh.
