The smell of blood hung thick in the air. Dead bodies lay all over the ground. The heat from the sun glared down from the sky making the air waver every few seconds. In the midst of it all stood a red clad demon. His long claws coated with a deep red paint. Blood from others and that that had seeped from his own wounds stained his clothing. His chest heaved with every breath he took. His muscles tensed at every noise, every scent.
Purple streaks lined his face. Large fangs protruded from his open mouth. He stared ahead of him through red engulfed eyes.
A girl stood no more that a few metres in front of him. She had her hand held up to her chest as she breathed heavily, her gaze never leaving that of the demon before her. The sleeves of her shirt had been rolled up and her hair had been pushed back. Her skin was soaked with sweat. She shook every so often as she willed herself not to cry.
Her comrades lay injured on the ground. The monk's arm slashed and bleeding and the demon exterminator unconscious by a large rock. The kit hid shivering behind a nearby tree, looking out every so often to see how his friends were doing.
The demon raised his arms and flexed his claws. He smiled sadistically when the young girl took a step back instinctively.
"Inuyasha…" the girl whispered. What was in front of her wasn't Inuyasha. He wasn't her hanyou. Inuyasha was lost. What stood before her was a beast. She tried to gulp but found it hard due to the growing lump in her throat.
He gave a harsh laugh before charging towards her. She brought her arms up to cover her face reflexively. "No!" she screamed. She felt strong arms grab around her waist. The smell of blood was stronger than ever. She kept her eyes closed tightly. Her stomach became woozy as she was lifted into the air. The demon's arms never loosened their grip.
She heard her name called weakly from the ground where she once stood. She didn't dare look for its source. She was too afraid.
