Chapter 1
The Black Figure
The day was calm with short burst of wind now and again.
Kagome and Inuyasha sat on a hill watching the farmers in Kaede's village work away at the rice fields. Well at least Kagome was. Inuyasha however, just picked at the grass just to kill boredom.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked looking over.
"What?" Inuyasha huffed.
"Did you ever think about what we are going to do once all this is over?" Kagome asked.
"Probably go look for the other jewel shards...duh" Inuyasha said looking at Kagome like she was stupid.
Kagome just let out a sigh, wanting to just sit him for that.
"No! I meant..." Kagome said raising her voice but pausing to lower it.
"I meant… after all this. You know. The jewel shards, Naraku, all of this." Kagome said looking directly into Inuyasha's yellow eyes.
Inuyasha just raised an eye brow until what looked like an idea came to his head.
"Oh yeah!...Become a full demon!" Inuyasha let out with delight.
In an instant, Kagome's expression became much darker.
Inuyasha's smile quickly disappeared as he looked at the monster that Kagome had transformed into.
"W..what?" Inuyasha asked with a fearful tone.
Kagome just stood up. Stomping away in anger.
Inuyasha, who stood up to follow her let out "Kagome!"
"Sit!" Kagome angrily shouted.
*SLAM*
Inuyasha's bead necklace lit up as it slammed him face first into the grass.
"Unbelievable!" Kagome shouted still stomping away.
"What did I even do?" Inuyasha whined.
Shippo who seemed to come out of nowhere, landed on the back of Inuyasha's head.
"You got into the full demon talk again stupid! Kagome doesn't care about that." Shippo stated.
"Oh what do you know?" Inuyasha grunted.
"More than you I'd say." Sango said with a laugh as Miroku and her walked over.
"Are you spying on us?" Inuyasha asked, his voice muffled by the dirt.
"Oh come now. We would never do that Inuyasha." Miroku smirked.
Inuyasha pulled his face out of the dirt looking in the direction Kagome went. He gained a frown when he noticed she was nowhere in sight.
Miroku bent down to Inuyasha and gave him a pat on the back.
"It's fine. We'll be back out looking for the shards in no time." Miroku said.
"It's not that. It's just...Kagome." Inuyasha said with a sad tone.
Everyone leaned over to hear. Surprised that Inuyasha might say something heartfelt.
"Kagome..." Inuyasha didn't finish, noticing everyone staring at him.
In an instant Inuyasha's attitude when from sad to rage.
"Screw off you nosy bastards!" Inuyasha yelled knocking Shippo off.
"Woaw!" Shippo let out as he flew.
Inuyasha jumped up and started to hop over in the direction Kagome went yelling her name.
"Kagome!"
"Will he ever learn?" Sango asked.
"Kagome!"
"It's possible but..." Miroku considered.
"KAGOME!"
"INUYASHA! SIT BOY!"
*SLAM*
"Not likely." Miroku let out with a sigh.
Dark Cave
Out of the shadows stepped Kanna in her white dress and her mirror held in front of her.
"What is it Kanna?" Naraku's voice asked from the shadows.
Kanna's mirror lit up. Sights of villages exploding and burning, one after another appeared.
"What is this?" Naraku asked with anger.
"It seems someone is destroying the villages you have infected one by one. With the intent of finding you and doing the same." Kagura stated as she stepped out of the darkness next to Kanna.
Naraku growled.
"Inuyasha and the rest would never do this. Their too weak to take such aggressive actions without trying to save every last filthy villager." Naraku concluded.
"Is this Sesshomaru's doing?" Naraku asked clearly annoyed.
"That's the best part. It isn't Sesshomaru. It's someone I've never seen before." Kagura said with a smile. Indicating she was somewhat enjoying this.
"Then who!? Show me!" Naraku ordered.
Kanna's mirror changed again, showing an image of a dark human shaped figure, face covered by a black hood.
Naraku stared at Kanna's mirror for a few seconds until his chuckle could be heard.
"Kagura! I want you to go find Inuyasha and the rest. Tell them what is transpiring." Naraku ordered.
"Why would I do that?" Kagura asked looking confused.
"It's just like I said Kagura. They would never resort to such actions if it meant putting even one worthless human at risk. They would also be quick to condemn anyone would be willing to take such actions as well. Even going so far as to attempt to stop it. However, once they do. All of them will fall into a trap with no escape." Naraku explained.
"Whatever." Kagura said rolling her eyes and reaching for a feather on her head.
*Hours Later*
The sun was setting as a group of villagers put there tools away into a small shed on the outside of the villages wall.
"And that's the last one." a villager stated setting a tool bag down inside the shed.
"Good work today men." one of villagers said.
"Yeah, yeah!" the villagers replied.
That's when one of the villagers noticed a hooded black figure facing them only ten feet away.
"Where the hell did he come from?" the villager let out, clearly startled.
"Huh?" the rest let out looking over.
"Whose this guy?" the same startled villager asked.
After a few moments of no answer from rest the same villager looked over.
"Guys, are you gonna..."
The village stopped once he noticed his fellow villagers where, no longer.
Their complexions turned monstrous, their teeth had grown large and they all growled at the figure.
"Your not going to kill us!" the demon villagers hissed as they readied to attack.
The one human villager left in the mist of all this, fell to the ground in terror. Holding his arms over his head.
"It's just a bad dream...IT'S JUST A BAD DREAM!" he mumbled, trying to convince himself.
The figure then pulled out a blade handle from inside the dark cape he wore. The handle was gray and had no blade attached to it.
"So are you gonna tell me where Naraku is or am I gonna have to skin each one of your miserable hides." the figure said with male voice.
The demons all laughed.
"You're a human aren't you? You can't be the one destroying all the infested villages." One of the demons stated.
"Well under that logic I guess I'm not much of a threat, am I?." the figure said, waving for the demons to come at him.
The demons all growled.
"I'll eat your flesh human!"
The demons launched at the figure. Only to see him disappear into thin air as they got close.
When they all landed where the figure once was. They began looking around in confusion.
"Where the hell did he go. I can still smell him!" one of the demons shouted.
The sun finally set leaving only but the night.
"Hides it is." the figure said as a long blue transparent blade appeared in the air behind the demons.
