Sun was setting on the horizon as InuYasha dashed through the forest. Usually he wouldn't give a damn, but not the night that was forthcoming towards him. It was going to be night of the new moon, the time when the moon hides behind the shadow and the night when InuYasha becomes a full human from his usual half-demon form.

It was one night he hated the most and one night he would really wanted to end soon.

Just earlier, he had an argument with Sango regarding Kagome.

"I am going." InuYasha said.

At that moment, Sango stood up.

"Why are you doing this?" Sango asked.

"Because I have to." InuYasha said.

"Have you even thought about Kagome?" Sango asked.

It was just like always, Sango yelling at InuYasha for going off to see Kikyo, Miroku just sitting and listening to everything in dismay and Kagome running off to some place to cope with her depression. Yep, this was almost like a routine and it felt like it never changed.

"Say whatever you want. I am going and you won't understand anything." InuYasha said.

With these words, InuYasha ran off into the forest.

It wasn't anything new. InuYasha had always done this because he felt obliged to do it. He after all wanted to repay Kikyo for everything she had been through. But at the same time, there was Kagome.

Any person who would do this should be ashamed of doing it and InuYasha was. He was a boy who couldn't decide between two of his most important women in his life. He knew Kagome would be hurt whenever she would go looking for Kikyo and he regretted letting her suffer. In fact, he even wanted to break off from her just so that she would stop suffering, but… it was her choice.

But as realization finally began dawning on his face, he slowed down until he was no longer moving. He just stood there doing nothing but thinking.

However suddenly, he realized. Was he ready to face Kagome? Would she always forgive him?

InuYasha was thinking these types of stuffs probably because Kagome has endured so much already and that was the exact thing that worried him about her. What if one day, she was to…

NO, Kagome was always be there for him. She will never leave him.

But then suddenly, a small rumble broke InuYasha's trance. He immediately looked up to find the sky, covered in Black Clouds.

InuYasha knew this rumble was indicating rain and that a storm was coming. He just didn't knew, how strong the storm would be.

InuYasha then remembered his new moon's night again as he began running again. But the sun had already set and InuYasha found himself slowing down. He could not run any faster like he used to because his demon powers were fading. It was only a matter of time he was running at the pace of a normal human being.

This was something he hated about being a human. He would lose all of his strong senses which would cause him to feel very helpless. It felt like as if he really lost a leg.

It was only a matter of time the world fell into darkness and so did InuYasha's hair. He was now a full-fledged human rather than a half-demon. Why he never turned into a full demon? He always asked himself. Human bodies were very weak and they were hardly capable of doing anything. But why is it that one night of his life he is forced to be a human? At least for one night he wished to become a demon. Why couldn't that be true?

It was only a matter of time, the raindrops began to fall from the sky. As InuYasha ran more, the rain began getting stronger by the moment. Winds began howling very badly but InuYasha was almost near the village.

This time, he had no senses to guide him through the darkness. Nor there was moonlight. The only thing that was present there was the constant flashes of lightning showing him the path. He was now all drenched and he his naked legs were all muddy. But he had to get back to the village as soon as possible. During storms like these, no one knows which demon would appear and end his miserable life.

He kept on running through the night as his human legs could go. However for some reason, InuYasha felt very strange. There were no demons on sight. Usually at times like these there would be at least a demon in sight. But there was none. Why? Is it that, they went to attack a village? Could it be…

"No" InuYasha said as he kept on running.

It couldn't be that they went to attack Kadae's village. They couldn't have.

Worrying even more, InuYasha ran towards the village even faster than usual. For the most of the night, he kept on running. He was starting to get tired and his legs were in pain. But he didn't care, he just wanted to get back to his friends and that was the only thing that mattered to him.

It was almost the middle of the night when InuYasha finally reached Kaedae's hut. It was very hard, but in the end he finally reached the village. To his luck, there weren't any demons lurking around. But, he should be careful about that. After all, he was only lucky that there weren't any demons around. If he was idiot enough to forget his new moon's night then bad things could happen.

It was the middle of the night and there weren't any huts destroyed. At least from all the lightning, he could at least know that it wasn't under attack. However, there wasn't a lit fire in any of the huts. So he safely assumed that the villagers were asleep. After all, it was the middle of the night. Rarely anybody would be awake at this time of the night.

As InuYasha was about to enter Kaede's hut, he froze as a flash of lightning ripped through the sky. At that moment, he looked up and remembered something that Kikyo told him in his recent meetings with her.

"InuYasha you must take care of Kagome. A very bad storm is coming."

These were the only ones that she said before she vanished again. He didn't get to say anything to her. He didn't get to ask anything to her. He didn't even get to see her face. She just said those words and she just left.

A storm is coming, but what storm is that.

A storm is coming.

It absolutely made no sense.

What storm is that? He was pretty much sure that this wasn't storm that Kikyo meant. There was something that Kikyo meant. What was it?

But then suddenly, InuYasha felt a small itch which was then followed by a huge sneeze.

"Gah! Human Body." He murmured in a low voice.

Usually, he would have stood outside for he was a half-demon and he could care less about the weather. Not today however.

He was a human for that night and a human standing outside in a storm would probably mean very bad things. So he should be inside the shelter, at least for a night.

Not wanting to stand in the rain any longer, InuYasha raised the mat door and entered with his wet body and muddied legs. For that moment, he had to be silent if he didn't want to wake up anyone.

But as he soon as he entered, he just felt strange. There wasn't any demon or anything else. But usually would be hearing some sleeping sounds in the hut. But there was none in the house that night. Maybe, it was the sound of rain diluting the sound?

"Dammit. Why am I thinking too much?" InuYasha said slamming his head with his palm.

InuYasha stepped forward but just as he took a few steps, he tripped into something big and fell right on his face.

What the hell was that? InuYasha thought as he picked himself up. He was literally angry that someone kept an object in the middle like as if it was nothing.

But then again, this was Kaedae's home. Why would she keep an object in the middle of the house so carelessly? But more than that, what was this huge object that stood in his way?

InuYasha wanted to find out the answer. So, he knelt down and pushed his hand forward to feel the object. The wind began howling even more as InuYasha's hands landed on the object. It was something covered in smooth fabric. It felt very strange, but InuYasha explored more and more until he felt something… wrinkled.

He was exploring more when suddenly he froze and a light flashed outside and the wind blew the mat door open. The lightning was terrorizing the skies outside but InuYasha felt the shock. He felt a shock run down his spine. This shock however, wasn't of any thunder being struck on him or something else. This shock was due to reality and everyone knows how much horrifying reality can be.

InuYasha couldn't believe that the thing that lay in the middle of the floor in Kaedae's hut, was Kaede herself. Her body was cold and there where she laid dead, lay pools of blood. Someone killed the old woman. She was dead.

Snapping back from the daze, he looked around the hut and found no one around. There was no Kagome, no Miroku, no Sango or even Shippo or Kirara. There was nobody in the house. They were gone.

InuYasha dashed outside into the rain and looked around. Where was Kagome? Where was everyone?

Questions rising inside his head, InuYasha grabbed the hair that was on his head in frustration and turned his head left and right. At that moment, he remembered Kikyo's words. She had warned him but he was too slow to heed it out. Now, he had to find where Kagome was.

"Dammit Kagome. Don't you die on me." InuYasha said like he once did.

With these words, he rushed off into the rain deeper into the village.

InuYasha for the most night ran and only ran. He looked every corner of the village screaming his friends names, but there was no one to be found. The rain and the constant running took a toll on his human body, but he didn't stop. He had to find Kagome and also fast.

But even still his body was that of a human and human bodies are weak.

InuYasha after running through the village for hours, he couldn't find Kagome or others. Soon he was moving slowly down the road not being able to know what was going on. Soon, his body gave up. Why wouldn't it be? It was a body of a human, a very pathetic one. It needs rest and that was something InuYasha lacked at that moment. He never needed to rest and he never pushed himself to his limits during his human nights. This was the very first time he did it.

But at that moment, he realized something. Why weren't any of the villagers reacting to his voice?

"Maybe they are just not reacting because I am a half-demon." InuYasha thought.

His mud-covered legs had given up and he was all wet. InuYasha fell down to his knees and looked up into the sky as the bright light flashed in the sky again. Was this the storm that Kikyo was mentioning to him?

Maybe, he was pathetic after all. But still… it didn't make any sense.

Kaede lay dead in her hut and she was probably the heart of this village. So why weren't any of the villagers reacting to it? Something was definitely not right.

InuYasha stood up and ran towards the nearest hut.

"Hey! Is someone there? ANSWER ME." InuYasha yelled slamming his fist into the house for attention.

But no one answered. InuYasha ran towards another hut and did the same thing. The result was the same again. He tried more houses but they didn't answer either.

Why weren't they answering? Was it really because they were scared of him being a half-demon or something else? Did everyone leave the village?

For some reason, InuYasha had a gut feeling about something that urged him to try something that was probably illegal.

Taking in a deep breath, InuYasha charged forward towards a mat door of a hut and slammed it open. He raided into a house for the first time in his life, and he wasn't very happy about it.

InuYasha shook his head and pulled himself back to the point. He had to find out whether his theory was correct or not. He didn't want to have his theory proven but he had to find out. He stood up and rushed inside the house to find out whether there was anyone living in the village anymore.

However as soon as he opened the door to one of the room, he found out something that would prove not only prove his theory wrong but also something that didn't leave him with any sort of comfort.

His heart was beating very rapidly and his body temperature was rising. He couldn't believe that this was happening. He didn't even want to believe that this was happening.

InuYasha turned around in desperation and ran outside. As soon as he was outside, he looked around. He still couldn't believe what he was seeing. That's why he barged into another hut and looked inside.

He broke into more houses but with every house he got the same result. It was only a matter of time, he came out all disturbed at what he saw. All the villagers, they hadn't left the village. They were all lying dead.

Someone came and hacked their souls out of their body. They were not killed by a demon nor a bandit or a soldier.

With all the things happening, InuYasha's head began to reel. He was tired and he was in shock. All the villagers were dead were his friends dead too?

It was only a matter of time, when InuYasha couldn't handle the shock with his exhausted body. He slumped forward and fell into unconsciousness.

To Be Continued

So guys, I actually wanted to have this as a one shot but in the end I was resorted to having it split into two. I wanted to finish this all today but I simply couldn't because of work load and the exhaustion getting the better of me. I hope you guys do understand. The delays and the difficulties has led me to that think my writing has gotten quite sloppy. In the end, I wanted to have this story at least uploaded if not finished right in time for Halloween.

I will still try to finish this story by tomorrow since I am halfway done with this story. Please do leave a review and let me know what I can do to make my stories better in the future. Also, do let me know if this chapter was intriguing or just straight up boring.

Plus, do let me know your guesses of what is going to happen in the next chapter.

Now, back to the writing desk.
