Hey guys! I hope this one is a long one! It was three pages in Word so Im hoping that this will be enough. Im sorry I haven't been keeping to this plan like I, well, planned to. A lot has gone on and I'm just getting so much writer's block with this story. I know what it's like to wait so long for a new chapter to come out and then it's really cruddy; been there, done that! So Im sorry if this sucks! Please comment your opinion and if you have any advice for writer's block, please feel free to write it to me! Oh... This chapter is kinda creepy by the way...

Inuyasha's ears perked up. A shiver ran down his spine. A bloody red began to creep into his eyes, cracking vines like broken glass into the gold. A growl formed in his throat and he immediately dropped Miroku who landed in a heap on the floor. He pushed past the two females who were in his way as he made his way to the entrance of the hut. Inuyasha was no longer in control. His demon was and all his demon cared about right now was his mate.

As he tumbled past the mat door, his growl escalated. He could no longer think straight and the only clear thought that still ran through his head was, 'Mate'…

He knew he was dangerous right now and that he should probably try to calm himself before he hurt anyone, but he didn't care. In fact, he could care less. As he paraded through the village, swiping his claws and baring his fangs at anyone who crossed his path, the people screamed and ran for their huts. Somewhere near him, a dog barked, a baby cried, glass shattered. Inuyasha ran towards the sounds, only to find a dog protecting a baby girl behind it as it growled at Inuyasha, trying to show dominance. Inuyasha's demon nearly laughed at the tiny mutt. He advanced, creating a hulking shadow over the poor hound. The dog whimpered for a second before barking again, leaping up to try and bite Inuyasha's face.

Inuyasha cracked his fingers, raising his arm, about to claw the dog to death, when he heard his name ring through his ears.

"Inuyasha!" Keade yelled, gasping for air as she ran towards him. "Ye must stop now! We will help ye find Kagome if you just stop!" The old woman huffed and panted, breathing deeply before she grabbed his arm. Using just an once of her power, she searched Inuyasha's mind, trying to find where the real one hid when the demon side came out. Finally, in the darkest crevice of his mind she found him, hunched over looking sick. She could see the images in front of him as he tried to swipe them away. They were of Kagome. Kagome being killed. Kagome being raped. Kagome leaving him. Kade grasped his shoulder and looked deep into his eyes before saying, "Come out Inuyasha."

With that, Keade was purged from his mind. She opened her eyes to see her hands still on his raised arm. He twitched before turning to her, his eyes drained of the red leaving a bright gold. He lowered his arm and looked at the dog. The dog had stopped barking now that he sensed no demonic threat coming from this man. A woman ran out and grabbed her baby and the dog before rushing off again, nodding her thanks to Keade.

Inuyasha's head looked down, casting a shadow over his eyes. He began to walk to the hut and Keade followed. Finally, when they reached the hut, Inuyasha sat down. His group of friends and companions all looked at him, some expressions curious, some blank. Shippo made some sort of squeak, as if he wanted to say something but thought better of it. Finally, Miroku broke the silence.

"Now, I don't understand the situation that much, but I'm guessing Kagome was kidnapped right under your nose. I'm also guessing you only just realized that fact and couldn't handle it so you let your demon blood take over." Inuyasha growled at Miroku who just shrugged muttering something about Inuyasha only being mad because it was true.

"Look, guys, can we just go save her?" Inuyasha asked. Everyone nodded. Sango stood and dragged Miroku up with her before pulling him out of the hut. Looking over her shoulder as she crossed the threshold, she announced, "We will leave first thing tomorrow morning." Inuyasha's eyes widened and he sped out the doorway, stopping Sango and Miroku.

"We leave now!" He exclaimed. "She could be in a lot of danger and she might even be…" Inuyasha shuddered as his imagination pictured Kagome being caught in the middle of something only lovers should do with a monster. His heart constricted as another thought popped in his head. 'If she's turning 16, that means she's ready for a mate! That bastard might've stolen her to mate with her!' Inuyasha growled fiercely, his demon blood pressing forward again.

A hand on his shoulder stopped his transformation in it's tracks. He looked into Sango's deep brown eyes as she shook her head. Inuyasha calmed, still very upset, but calmed nonetheless. He nodded. "We will leave tomorrow." He grumbled. Sango gave him a weak smile and for the first time, he could see how worried she was for her friend. She hated this just as much as him. Sango let go and continued to shove Miroku away.

'Tomorrow.' Inuyasha thought to himself as he looked up towards the sky. 'Tomorrow, we're coming for you Kagome.'

…

Kagome let her fear take control. The 'thing' was still screaming at her cell door and no matter how much Kagome cried and pleaded with it to stop, the screams just got louder and shriller. Backed into the farthest corner of the small room, Kagome was hunched a ball, hands clamped over her ears as tears streamed down her face in a waterfall. She screamed back at the creature, the loudness of it all actually was making her ears bleed. Her heart was pounding in her chest. At one point, Kagome had started banging the back her head against the rough stone wall, desperate to make it all stop. From it, she received a large gash which blood just kept flowing freely from. Not only was her uniform covered in filth and muck and possibly excrete, but also her own blood.

The creature had begun trying to open the door at this point, banging its chains at the lock, trying to break it. Its eyes were purely black and its face could only be half seen in the darkness. What Kagome could see of it would haunt her for the rest of her life. Rotting flesh, strings of greasy hair, nose falling apart, and its mouth was covered with blood, probably from its last meal. Suddenly, the creature stopped banging its chains and took a step back. The door slowly, but surely, had started to creak open. The thing's face had twisted up into only was one could guess was an evil smile. Kagome began to scream again as the door opened fully and the creature took a slow step in. Slowly, it made it's way toward her, sometimes stopping to stare at her. It was teasing Kagome and she hated it.

THUMP THUMP THUMP. Kagome began flinging her head into the wall, desperately wanting death to come quick. Her vision began to blur when the creature was not but a foot away from her. Black dots appeared as the creature began to look alarmed. If her ears hadn't been ringing so, Kagome would have heard the louder, heavier steps coming towards her cell. Light came into view as a man with a sword ran into the room and thrust his sword into the creature. Kagome kept screaming, using the last of her energy to shove her head back as hard as possible. The last thing she saw before her eyes rolled into the back of her head, was the man kneeling before her, his long brown hair cascading down his back. Kagome then fainted.
