The large man wrapped a chain around the young woman's feet. He couldnt risk the chance of her getting away. He wanted her blood. All over his hands,his body. Same with the boy, he wanted his blood as well. Finishing up with the chains, he grasped them into his hand and began to drag her to his truck. Opening the latch, he lifted her up over his shoulder and carelessly dropped her onto the bed of the truck. The younger one was right next to her. He didnt look like he would last long. At that last thought, the man grinned and slammed the back shut.

Sango had a bad feeling. The closer they got to there destination the sicker she felt. 'was it what Kagome said?' she asked herself. 'That woman she was talking about...seemed to know alot'. A chair skeaked beside her and she was brought back to the present. They were still at the bar that they had found a half an hour earlier. Miroku was chatting with Inuyasha about the wedding.
"This is great," Inuyasha stated very enthusiastically, "my best friend and baby sister getting married!" He took a drink of his beer then added, "who would've guessed," then laughed.
Miroku grinned and threw his arm around Sango's shoulder, only to receive a glare from her, "well she is the love of my life. I knew it from the day we met."
Sango rolled her eyes, cleared her throat and looked at Inuyasha, "so how many miles until we reach Eau Claire?"
Inuyasha sighed, "we have a ways to go. If we go tonight we'll be there by tomorrow night at the latest" he shrugged," I mean we can stop but I'm tired of stopping, I just want to get there."
"I'll drive," Miroku insisted.
Inuyasha shook his head, "nah...Ill drive tonight and you can take over in the morning."
Miroku nodded and downed the rest of his glass of beer. "Well you guys ready?" He stood up and held out his hand for Sango. She grabbed it and pulled herself up next to him.
Inuyasha took another drink, threw some money on the table and stood up as well. He grabbed his jacket off of the back of the chair and led the way out to his car.
Sango smiled and ran her hand across the beautiful red exterior of the Jaguar. She loved Inuyasha's car. It was basically the love of his life. Everyone in Milwaukee knew it as the Tetsaiga. She smiled to herself and climbed into the back seat with Miroku in the passenger seat and Inuyasha behind the wheel.
Inuyasha was shoving something into the glove box as Sango finished getting situated. "What was that?" She asked.
"We have about 200 miles to go if not more until we get to Eau Claire," he put the car in reverse and backed out, "it probably won't take as long as i thought it would." He added, pulling the gear into drive and pulling out onto the long dark stretch of highway.

Kagome groaned. She felt something tied around her hands, holding them above her head. 'Where am I?', the girl tried yanking her hands out of the tie they were in. Her head was pounding, she felt cold, wet and sticky. The metallic taste of blood was in her mouth. Slowly opening her eyes she glanced around. It was dark. She couldn't see anything. The girl opened her mouth to scream but nothing came out. 'Souta'..."S-s-souta?" she whispered hoarsly. She thought she heard something coming from directly in front of her. A shifting, as if someone was trying to move. "Souta?", she said more loudly. This time she knew it was him. She could hear a sob, and what sounded like "K'gme". Her eyes widened. "Souta...souta?...hold on, we're going to get out of here." She began to swing her body, she needed to free herself to get to her brother.
Without warning bright lights filled the room.
She gasped and stared in horror at the scene before her. Souta. Her baby brother was tied in the same position she was. He had a large gash on his forhead, what looked like small cuts all-over the rest of his face. Her eyes traveled down further. His entire body was covered in blood, and his shirt was gone. "Souta?". He brought his eye's up to meet her's. The look in his eyes. Fear. He was scared. No, he wasn't scared. He was terrified. "Souta!" He didnt respond. He just looked at her. Kagome could feel the tears roll down her face.
Before anything more could be said. They both turned their heads to see a large man, or so they thought. Was it human? It was the body of a man. But the face of a monster. He just stood there. He had bag in his hands. It looked like it was covered in blood. He slowly made his way towards them. Souta started to panic. He tried desperatly to free his hands. "Kagome...kagome..." He continued to repeat her name as if she wasnt there. Like he needed to get to her. Away from this...thing. He struggled even more.
"What do you want?" Kagome asked in a shaky voice. The man didnt answer her. He walked over and dropped the bag onto a table with a loud clank. Was that metal? What do i do? What do i do?. He walked over to her first. Bringing his hands up, he checked the ropes around her hands and tightened them. Kagome gasped. It hurt. It felt like her skin had come off around her wrists. The man turned away from her and opened the bag he had brought with him. With a sickening smile he reached into the bag and pulled out a long blade.
Kagome's heart stopped. "Please...", she whispered, "please...dont do this...no...". Without a word the man slowly made his way to souta's side. He brought the blade up to souta's belly and looked at kagome as he began to trace a line coming from his left and going to the right.
Souta screamed. He let out a scream so loud and terrifying that anyone that heard it would be haunted by it for the rest of there life.
"Stop!Please stop! Leave him alone!" Kagome yanked her arms downward. She didn't care if she ripped them off. She started to cry. "Souta!Souta!Souta!Souta!..." The man let out a snarl and slit the boys stomach open. Kagome watched as his skin ripped apart and his insides became exposed.
She screamed and everything went black.

"I'm so stoked for this camping trip you guys," Sango was practically bouncing in her seat. Miroku and Inuyasha couldn't keep the bewildered looks off their face. Maybe it was the people. Sango wasn't much of a people person.
Last one before the big day," Inuyasha added with a laugh, "I still can't believe it. I swear Miroku..." He trailed off when he saw the look on his best friends face. "Are you pouting?" He suddenly asked.
"No!" Miroku said it a little too fast. Sango cocked a brow and looked at the back of his head curiously.
Inuyasha cleared his throat, "I think his minds just in the gutter again."
"You are such a pervert," Sango said as she leaned back into her seat.[Soft Break] [Soft Break]"But seriously, it'll be a blast," Inuyasha said.
"let's listen to some music, any ideas Sango?" Miroku asked her.
"What about some Steven Tyler?"
"I can go with that," Inuyasha agreed.
Miroku nodded and slid Aerosmith's greatest hits into the CD player. The first song to come on was Rag Doll and they all started rocking out to it.

She was aching all over, but she kept running. Her legs were covered in cuts and bruises. She had twisted her left wrist and was holding it against her chest with her good arm. Her breathing was coming in choked sobs. She had to get away. Away from the terror...away from the horrified cries of her little brother. Or was it her, she didn't know. All she knew was that she had to escape. Escape the man who ran her off the highway...the man who took them both...the man who murdered her brother right in front of her. She managed to get away though. Somehow she had gotten the tie around her wrists loose and pulled herself from them. The man had left the room. The girl could only stare in agonizing horror at the boy before her who would never see the light of day again...the boy in front of her who woke her up every morning...the boy who was her brother...the boy who she spoke to that very morning to about their camping trip that they were taking. With tears streaming down her face, the girl ran, she ran out of the room, she ran into the dark wooded area, and before she knew it she was far away, far enough that she couldn't even determine which direction she had run from. She stopped, hearing nothing but the ragged breaths she was beginning to gain control of. Falling to her knees she brought her right hand up to her face and pushed it against her forehead. She couldn't take it...take the realization of what had happened, the fact that she would never see her brother again and the reality that she, herself, was only moments away from the same fate. She had to keep going, she couldn't stop, not now. She had to find help. Sucking in a deep breath the girl stood up and began to jog once more. She would not stop until she found someone.

She ran as fast as she could, stumbling over thick logs and tree roots. There was a small hill that she didn't see right behind a thick bush. She ran through it and fell forward as the ground started to slope downward. She rolled down the small hill and landed on her back. She cried out as she came into contact with the bottom of the hill. Groaning she slowly sat up and looked around slightly dazed. It was even darker now, almost pitch black. She couldn't lie to herself though, she felt safer with the wild animals than a psychotic killer. When her breathing became normal she stood up. She gasped as she felt pain shoot up from her ankle into her leg. Trying to ignore it she pushed herself further, limping slightly. Through a thick brush of trees, she saw what looked like a highway. She couldn't tell for sure though, it was too dark. She wasn't about to stick around and debate about it though. She pushed through some branches and a few bushes and it got closer. 'A road...Yes...' She felt the tears begin to fall again. If she just got to the road a car was bound to come by eventually. Before she knew it the road was just a few feet away. She stopped walking and hunched over slightly taking in deep breaths. As soon as it regulated, she lifted her head and held her breath to listen. She didn't hear anything, nothing out of the ordinary at least. She looked towards the road because she thought she heard the sound of a car. "Oh God, someone please help me," she whispered to herself. Then she was positive she heard a car, the only reason she heard it from a distance is because she could hear the sound of music getting louder by the moment. She started to cry even harder and ran out to the road and saw headlights. She began to run towards the oncoming vehicle, waving her arms frantically and screaming for them to stop.
Eh? Well how was it? I hope better than the last one.
Ja Ne for now. :)
