It was a dark night when Sango saw the flashlights pointed at her house-turned-hideout. She ran as quickly and as quietly as she could up the wooden stairs to Kagome's room. Her sister, Kagome, was sleeping in her bed and rolled up in the blankets. Sango woke her up by shaking her shoulder firmly and placing a hand over her mouth to muffle any noise she may make.

Kagome's brown eyes were half closed until Sango whispered in her ear that they were here.

Kagome's brown sleepy eyes instantly focused and turned serious. Fortunately, Sango and Kagome had planned for this moment for months.

The Earth had been peaceful or as peaceful as humans was with the murder, rape, and bombings that went on but besides that the Earth was peaceful and if truth be told, Sango liked it.

But then that fragile peace broke when an army of aliens invaded. They didn't come for peace, they instead took what they wanted and killed those who got in the way regardless of age, race, or sex. To make matters worse, people also started taking what they wanted with no fear of consequences. As a result, anarchy spread around the world quickly. Sango had never been so afraid in her life. She couldn't trust or depend on anyone besides her sister Kagome. They originally had their parents but one day when their parents went out to find some food, they never returned.

The aliens kidnapped many people, most of them women young and of child bearing age.

It turns out the alien race was dying and needed more females to carry on the race, thus the young women were experimented on and bred constantly in order to further the aliens plans. Sango and Kagome was able to avoid capture by sheer luck and with the help of their parents. When they seen the aliens invade the city, fires burning all around, and bodies torn and blood scattered everywhere, their parents boarded up the windows with wood and created their safe room.

Their father had built it there for them just in case anything happened. In truth it wasn't a room but more like a hole. The hole was dug into the floor with a large kitchen table and carpet covering it. The kitchen table was large enough so that Kagome and Sango could climb down into the hole without having to move it or the carpet out of the way, thus making it a perfect hiding space as the hole was perfectly concealed.

Sango and Kagome crawled under the table, then moved the rug back revealing the hole, and climbed down into it before locking the door from the inside. As they shut the door closed, the rug fell back over it thus hiding their location smoothly.

At the start of the invasion, the aliens went to every house in the neighborhood looking for survivors. They checked the attic, basement, and the rooms, they went under beds, inside the closets, and whoever they found were either killed or taken back to their base. When they went into Sango and Kagome's house, they found nothing and simply left.

But now they were back.

Sango and Kagome pressed up against each other into that hole as quiet as possible and stayed there, not making a sound. This wasn't the first time the aliens came into their house. They did this about five times already. Sango wondered if they did this for every house or if something Kagome and Sango did gave off the sign that there were people living in the house.

The aliens didn't break any windows the first time they entered the house so Sango and Kagome simply placed thick black colored curtains over the wood and glass so they could move freely in their home without anyone being able to see them from the outside. Whenever they were cold, they only built a small fire in the basement so the flames and smoke couldn't be seen, and they only left for food once a month.

Of course, they would peek outside their windows and look for anything or anyone and upon seeing no one they would slowly leave their house. They usually headed for the houses next to theirs and stole canned goods and water bottles. They also stole necessities like toilet paper and sometimes they stole iPods for entertainment but the electricity was now turned off so they had no way of charging it.

Soon though, the houses close to them dried up and Kagome and Sango had to go further and further for their food but even then no one saw them and they saw no one. There wasn't any single life in their neighborhood aside from Sango and Kagome.

But yet and still the aliens arrived at their house.

Sango and Kagome held their breaths as they heard the front door open loudly and hitting the wall. People, around two, entered their home. She heard the sound of footsteps walking up the stairs and unsurprisingly some came into the very room they were in.

Sango heard the closet door slam open and she heard what must have been the bed being lifted and then dropped for the loud thud it made.

More footsteps entered the room. "We haven't found anything here, why do we keep coming back?" A masculine voice asked.

"Because I know someone is here." Another angry masculine voice replied. "I smell them, two humans, not to mention, don't you find it odd that every time we leave this house things seem to change? Clothes that weren't there before are now here? Food that wasn't there before is now here?"

"You are correct but the most feasible answer is that humans on the run, stop to stay in these abandoned houses for a couple of days before moving on to another place. A couple were probably just here, which is what you smell, but now they're gone." This voice was more calm than the first one.

The other voice sighed. "You're probably right. Let's go to another neighborhood then go back to base."

The footsteps left from the room and went back down the stairs but Sango never heard the front door close. Neither Kagome nor Sango was stupid. They weren't about to get up from their hiding space a few minutes after the aliens left.

The most basic capture tactic is to pretend that the hunter is gone, giving the prey a false sense of security that makes them leave their hiding spot before the predator emerges from their own to kill the prey.

Sango and Kagome stayed in their hiding spot for at least five hours.

Kagome was still sleepy so she fell asleep in her sister Sango's arms. She didn't snore loudly so it was alright. When she woke up, Sango was asleep as well and though Kagome would love nothing more than to allow her sister to sleep, she couldn't. Her bladder was full and she couldn't hold it for much longer. The hole did not have a bathroom and the last thing she wanted was to smell her own piss.

She woke Sango up gently and asked whether it was alright for them to leave their hiding space. Sango thought about it for a while before deciding that it was okay though she would go first to check the house and make sure everything was clear then she would call Kagome up.

Kagome stubbornly refused and said she would simply go up to pee in a closet then come back down into the hiding space and stay there just to be safe. There was no need in taking a chance.

Sango decided that was okay and slowly and quietly, unlocked the door before pushing it upwards millimeter by millimeter. When she saw no feet in the room and heard no noise coming from anywhere in the house, Sango nodded for Kagome to go up.

Kagome climbed past her and up into the room before Sango closed the door again. The room was empty and Kagome quickly went into the closet and did her business before wiping herself off with an old shirt.

She then crawled back into the hiding spot where they waited another five hours before going back up. In the hole, Sango decided that it was best that they move to another house. While the other house wouldn't have a hiding spot like the one they had, at least it would be less likely to draw attention like the one they currently stay in. Besides that, it was painfully clear that this house was a living place and that the aliens would always come check up on it in order to find more humans.

They stayed there for a while until hunger struck them and they decided it was safe to leave. Sango instructed Kagome to take only weapons. The necessities like matches for fire, clothes, water bottles, and canned food could wait until they found a secure location.

As of right now they were in battle mode and carrying all of that stuff would weaken them and slow them down if they had to run and hide. Sango grabbed a gun loaded with bullets that she had gotten from their neighbors house while Kagome also carried a gun stolen from another house. Besides the gun, both Sango and Kagome carried pepperspray given to them by their father as well as knives and forks. While forks may not seem that deadly, it could go through a person's eye easily.

They crawled to the bedroom window and looked out of it and saw nothing. The streets were empty, the houses still deserted, and blood still dried on the pavements.

They had decided to leave at night. It was the safest as Sango and Kagome were going to chose a house further away from their own and the cover of darkness would be a blessing. Kagome was happy that she heard the two aliens conversing because it revealed that the aliens could smell them. Using that knowledge, Sango and Kagome covered themselves in mud they created by pouring water onto dirt.

Sango decided it was time and they swiftly but silently walked down the stairs and went out the back door. One of the fortunate things about their neighborhood is that not too many people had fences so they were able to walk through their neighbors backyard quickly.

"How far should we go?" Kagome asked placing a hand on Sango's shoulder or what she hoped was Sango's shoulder.

Sango jumped a little before calming down after realizing it was just Kagome. It was pitch black and neither could see anything and they had decided against lighting a fire for fear of detection. "I don't know." Sango whispered back. "It seems like we haven't gone far enough. We need to get as much distance between our old home as possible."

They began moving again, their hands out in front of them so their faces won't run into a tree or fence. As they were running, Sango stepped on a twig causing it to snap loudly. They froze like a deer caught in headlights before breathing a sigh of relief.

"What was that?" The voice they heard from their hiding spot asked from their right. From the sound of his voice, he clearly wasn't far.

Sango and Kagome stopped moving and stood as still as stone.

"Perhaps a squirrel or maybe a raccoon." Another voice responded.

They heard him inhale then exhale loudly. "It doesn't smell like one."

"Then go check it out."

Sango grabbed Kagome's hand sharply and dragged her to the left until they were pressed up against a tree. They went around the tree so they would be hidden from sight.

Both of their hearts were beating loudly.

Despite the alien telling the other to go check it out, they didn't hear footsteps. It was completely silent until a loud thud hit the ground close to where they were. Kagome realized suddenly that the alien had jumped as opposed to walking.

Kagome clutched her gun as hard as she could and held her breath. She heard sniffing again before it died down then everything went back to silence.

"GOTCHA!" He yelled as he was suddenly in front of Kagome.

Kagome screamed before aiming her gun at him and firing a couple of rounds. Sango also shot at him but instead of silence that indicated he was dead or painful groaning that indicated he was wounded, there was laughter. A loud roaring laughter.

"Run!" Sango said before taking off.

Kagome took off running, twisting her back to fire at him as she ran. She couldn't see so in the darkness she ran smack into a tree that left her dazed.

"You're hilarious." The masculine voice said and he was incredibly close to her.

"Get away you monster." She tried shooting him again as she got back up but he simply tripped her with his foot making her fall again which made him laugh. Still determined, she stood back up and ran.

Tears were streaming down her eyes as her legs kept moving. She was thinking about Sango and hoping she got away. Despite how fast Kagome was running, deep down she knew she was going to be caught. He was too fast and he could smell her and see in the dark apparently but Kagome would make him work for it.

"Run run, scared little rabbit. The big scary wolf is going to catch you." He sang to her. His voice seemed to be coming from everywhere instead of behind her which confused her some more.

And Kagome did run until she felt a heavy weight drop on top of her, causing her to fall face first into the ground.

"I've caught you." He whispered in her ear.

So it turns out Inuyasha was right about knowing that there were humans living in the houses. Miroku had to give him credit because usually Inuyasha was completely wrong.

Miroku wasn't that surprised because Inuyasha's smelling and hearing was better than his so he wasn't too shocked when he saw Inuyasha jump and land behind a tree, catching the humans that Miroku thought were squirrels.

He was happy that they were humans girls, and not old ones or sick ones but actually young healthy looking ones. He heard them both start shooting at Inuyasha and smiled at how pathetic and lowly humans were. It would take more than some metal bullets to hurt them.

They were a superior to humans in every single way. When the humans realized that the bullets weren't hurting Inuyasha, they both ran. One went one way while the other went the other way. Miroku just stood there watching them.

While humans couldn't see in the dark, Miroku and Inuyasha's kind could very clearly. So Miroku stood without moving as the frantic running girl with brown hair ran straight into his chest. She fell to the ground in front of him before aiming her gun at his chest and firing. Truthfully the bullets felt like someone poking him in the chest, like his mother use to do whenever she was very angry at him.

He let her fire at him over and over again until her gun ran out of his bullets, then he bent down and grabbed her by her arm. As he was pulling her up, she punched him and Miroku smiled a bit as he heard her knuckles crack from the force as well as the pained gasp from the girl. He let go of her arm and grabbed her by the waist before hauling her over his shoulder.

The hand holding her slid from her back to her ass and gave a little squeeze.

"Pervert." The woman growled while striking his back with her small fists.

"Get use to it, my sweet." His hand came to her ass again but instead of squeezing them like before, his fingers pushed her cheeks apart and stroked her vaginal area. "This is what we need you for. Be grateful you're still alive. If you were a man or a woman past child bearing age, you would be dead." Inuyasha approached with the other girl slung across his shoulder. She wasn't moving or talking and Miroku guessed he knocked her unconscious. Miroku shot him a smile. "You were right, Inuyasha, and here I thought those ears of yours are simply for show."

"Oh be quiet. So you got the other one, are there anymore?" Inuyasha asked, looking around and smelling the air.

"When you surprised them only two ran from behind the tree, I didn't hear or smell anymore." He touched Sango's ass again. "Are there anymore humans with you or are you two the only ones?"

"We're the only ones." She gritted out with clenched teeth.

"Well then let's get going back to base." Miroku said, eagerly before sliding Sango off his shoulder and hitting a pressure point on hers to induce sleep. When she fell against him, he slung her right back over his shoulder.

AN: For people curious about why Inuyasha couldn't smell them hiding in the hole but could smell them hiding behind the tree, it's because Sango and Kagome lived in the house so their scent was everywhere, where as their scent was only behind the tree since that was the first time they had been there. If you have a dog, try hiding from him/her in your home. They won't be able to find you using their noses.
