I know I haven't given any thanks to my reveiwers-so now I do. Thank you all for reviewing-and on the next chapter-I'll give you all names for each cahpter-isn't that nice? I had them typed out already, but i never did put the names. I'm not finished with the 5th chapter yet, because its the longest. I think its called Demon Within or something like that-anyway you''ll see it when I post it! Oh and if you read any of my other fanfics, you mitght want to put them on alert because it might be a while before i add on them-except Inuyasha: The Stubborn Half-Demon That's my favorite because he's growing up in that one. Though I can't decide if he'll kill Kihaki yet or not-Kihaki is a wolf demon! Oh and in the next chapters-Sesshomaru's views are in-as are they in in this one.
When Kagome awoke, it was night. She looked around her, the night casting shadows on her room. Standing up, she yawned before silently creeping towards her door and unlocking it, the click sounding like a bomb going off in the silent night. She flinched at the noise, but she slowly opened the door. It creaked slightly, but that was all. Careful as ever, Kagome looked out the hall before slipping through the crack in the door she had made. Kagome, quietly as she could, made her way to the stairs. She had noticed that Inuyasha was no where to be found. She scented the air for him, but couldn't pick up his scent because of the scented candles her mom had probably lit before going to bed.
The tangy scent was powerful in the hallway and towards the stairs, but in her room, Kagome couldn't smell it. Frowning, she went down the stairs, silent as a cat creeping after a mouse. When she got downstairs, she found Inuyasha sitting up on the couch, staring at the TV. But when he sensed another presence, he looked up and smiled slightly. That is unlike Inuyasha. Kagome thought.
She crept towards him and sat down. "I'm sorry for locking you out for so long. I didn't mean to fall asleep." she apologized.
"That's all right. I don't blame you for going to sleep. You've have a rough day and a lot on your mind. Just like I did when my mom died…" Inuyasha said quieter than a whisper.
Kagome looked down, knowing Inuyasha never liked talking about his mother. That was when it hit her. He hadn't want to bring Kikyo back to life! He had wanted to bring his mother back to life! That made her feel guilty, but she looked back up at Inuyasha without saying a word. She turned to the TV and saw that Inuyasha was watching the news. "What's all going on?" she asked quietly.
"Listen," he ordered, picking up the remote and pressing rewind. Her parents had just installed that kind of satellite that saved things you were watching so you could pause, rewind, record, and fast forward. He rewound it to where the news had just come on.
"Today we have seen strange things happening." The new reporter said. "There has been a wreck and as you can see behind me, there appears to be no one in the car." The reporter moved back to reveal a car smashed into a building. The car's front was jammed all the way to the windshield and all of its windows were broken and lay in little pieces on the ground. Large bricks of concrete littered the red car and the ground around it.
"What in the world!" Kagome gasped.
"Its some sort of demon that did this, Kagome. I can tell you that this is no work of a human." Inuyasha muttered darkly.
"What do you mean 'demon'? There aren't any in this time-are there?" Kagome asked quietly.
"I don't Kagome. I just don't know." Inuyasha sighed.
Kagome turned back to the news and began to listen once more, "We have someone here who says they saw the car drive into the building. Young lady, can you tell us what you saw?"
The screen moved to a girl about fifteen who stood, her face pale. Kagome gasped, "That's Yuka!" Yuka was one of Kagome's best friends and here she was on the news!
"I saw it! There was a man inside the car. He had dark brown hair and red eyes! It was horrible! It looked as if he had fangs and claws!" Yuka squeaked. She truly looked frightened.
"Damn! That's a demon all right, come on Kagome, we have to go down there!" Inuyasha growled.
"But its in the middle of the night!" Kagome argued.
"Oh I'm sorry, we fight demons almost every night in my era, but no, you want to stay here in your nice warm home, oh I'm sorry!" Inuyasha said sarcastically, grabbing Kagome's arm and dragging her out the door. "Come on!"
The chilly night air nipped at Kagome's legs and arms as she was yanked outside and drug downtown. This reminded her of the time Sesshomaru had done this very thing, except Inuyasha wasn't kidnapping her and wasn't pulling her with the force Sesshomaru had. After a few moments, they reached the sight and found that everyone was still there. It must have been live TV. Good thing both of them were wearing their hats!
"Yuka, " Kagome said, rushing up to her friend, "you have to tell us everything you saw. Was there a driver in the car at first?"
Yuka looked past Kagome with a freaked-out look. She pointed with a finger at a figure behind Kagome. "K-Kagome, who's that?" she asked quietly.
Kagome turned around to see Inuyasha glaring at her with an impatient look. "Oh that's just Inuyasha, he may look mean, but he wouldn't hurt a fly!"
"You'd better think about that again Kagome!" Inuyasha puffed.
Kagome turned away from him and asked Yuka again if there had been a driver. "Well yeah, he had dark brown hair, green markings on his face, red eyes, and he wore these strange clothes."
That sounds like Vain! Kagome gasped in her mind and then asked, "Did he just vanish?"
"Yeah."
"Is that all?"
"Yeah."
"Thanks Yuka." Kagome nodded and then quickly rushed over towards Inuyasha, a worried glance on her face. "Inuyasha!" she gasped. "That demon! I-It's Vain! They've found me so easily!" Kagome wailed, her voice high with fear.
"Vain? How the hell did he get here? I thought Vain was one of Sesshomaru's followers, so why didn't Sesshomaru come down himself?" Inuyasha muttered darkly.
"I don't know. But I-" suddenly Kagome whirled around to see Yuka looking at her blankly. Kagome shut her eyes and opened them again, turned around and swiftly, but humanly, began walking back home, keeping hold of Inuyasha's fire rat robes, dragging him along. "We'll discuss this at my house!" she growled.
Kagome let go of Inuyasha when he swatted at her arm, and so, instead, she went on down the street, the darkness suddenly feeling like a pressing figure wanting to swallow her up. Vain was out here on the streets somewhere, waiting for her. Oh yes, Kagome knew that they wanted her back, for the poison hadn't killed her at all! Inuyasha was alive, but Kagome didn't know if that concerned Sesshomaru at the moment, or killing her first with the things she had seen in his fort. The things she hadn't told anyone else, not even Inuyasha. The horrible things that Sesshomaru found as pleasure. She hadn't even told Inuyasha about the person next to her. How horrible she had looked, her eye sunken in her head, skin as pale as a ghost, eyes nothing but a soft, but dark gray. Her clothes ripped at torn. Kagome knew what had happened to the girl. It was something similar that had happened to Kagome, and Sesshomaru had promised that she would end up like the broken woman in the next cell.
Kagome shuddered at the thought, her eyes closing again. When Sesshomaru made a promise, she knew he would keep it.
Sesshomaru looked through the piercing darkness, his amber eyes narrowed with rage. "What do you mean she escaped?"
"My lord, we went to feed her just as you requested and we found the bars ripped away! It was like something had freed her. We have the hounds on her right now." Chi promised.
"Damn! That will not catch her! The serum I put into that girl was mixed with poison and demon DNA. I wanted her to slowly die in pain. She will not realize it at once with her transformation, but yes, eventually she will die! Unless the demon blood that now runs through her overpowers to poison! If it does, which I'm sure it would, I want you to bring her back-better yet, call Vain to me." Sesshomaru ordered.
"Yes sir." Chi said, standing and racing off door the hallway, only to come back moments later with Vain.
"You may leave, Chi." Sesshomaru growled, his anger still rising.
"Lord Sesshomaru, tell me, whose demon blood did you use to kill the girl?" Vain asked quietly.
"A power demon, the strongest there is, why do you ask?"
"Because, even if the poison was over rode by the demon, wouldn't a powerful enough blood type in the girl, with the demon being so powerful ,eventually turn the girl against herself, making her demon blood kill her human blood, that way she loses everything she'd ever felt and her life be full of age and the wish to kill?"" Vain asked.
Sesshomaru gave him a surprised voice. "I see you've done your homework. I take it that you are right. This girl is no where near powerful enough to control the demon blood. Go after her vain, but before you go, I will answer your question. It was my blood. There is no way she can handle it. Now go!"
Vain nodded and left.
He knew that if his own demon blood could overpower the girl, then why not control her? Sesshomaru grinned, this was going to be fun! His grin widened, knowing that he had ruined the girl's worthless life forever, that is, unless she managed to somehow kill him, which was impossible! Even his own damn brother couldn't fight his blood. If that girl could, then Sesshomaru would be considered crazy for not realizing it, but he wasn't stupid. That girl would be over powered soon. And then he would have himself another demon with control over!
Sesshomaru gave a wicked laugh before standing and grabbing his Tokijin. He would be on a hunt tonight!
Kagome looked around her, Inuyasha still walking beside her without uttering a single word. She sensed someone nearby, but she paid no heed to it at first, but the presence was powerful, and she could feel eyes on her. Mustering up her courage, she didn't look behind her, instead she kept walking, thinking nothing would go wrong…Nothing could possibly happen, right?
Famous last words….
Kagome looked up at the night sky, wishing the presence away, but of course it never happened. Her eyes scored the glare of the full moon, its harsh light shining in her face. Blinking, she looked away. An orange moon always made her uncomfortable for some reason. At least now it did, she felt as if it meant something because she could feel her blood stir inside of her, she felt the uneasy prickles in the back of her neck.
Sighing, she looked to her left to see the shadows casting shades of black on everything that wasn't in the orange moon's glare. Just as Kagome was about to look away, she saw something. It was a flash of movement, so fast that she didn't think it had really been there because it was obscured in shadows. But Kagome knew that it was the presence she was sensing. She stopped dead in her tracks.
Inuyasha looked at her and said, "Why did you-" He stopped when he saw something moving in the shadow. It must have been what Kagome had seen!
Kagome, strangely, felt drawn towards the awaiting shadows for some reason. She couldn't explain why either. Without blinking, she took a step forward and then another. "Kagome don't!" Inuyasha warned and then he noticed her blank expression, her blank eyes. "Huh?"
He suddenly struck out, his fingers closing on Kagome's shoulder, "Kagome, stay here!" he snapped.
Kagome didn't speak. Whatever was happening to her, she had no control over. Turning to Inuyasha, she felt an urge to strike out and hurt him, to kill him. Snarling, she raked her claws over his arm, spitting, "Don't touch me!"
"K-Kagome!" Inuyasha gasped, holding up his bleeding hand with shock. Why had she done this?
At that very moment, the person who had been hiding in the shadows, stepped out. The man had long white hair. His amber eyes were full of triumph and his robes billowed in the gentle wind that blew past every few seconds. A grin was etched on his face, "Inuyasha, you're alive I see." he said with a cold tone.
Has anyone read that fanfic where kagoem uses the jewel's wish so that she can be with inuyasha because she can't go back through the well so Inuyasha pins himself to the tree and kagoem is reading Miroku's jounal left for her only to descover Inuyasha is on the tree. And then they find Shippo and Sango and Miroku's relatives-but of course Sango and Miroku are dead.
Can anyone give me the name for that?
Thanks again for reveiwing!
