Ehhh... def ran out of creative mojo.. I think it shows... I hope it comes back though lol
Gladly taking any recommendations or hints as to chappy ideas haha... perhaps different viewpoints will get me somewhere
Inuyasha was ruthless in his full demon state. He cut through guards, maids, and guests as if they were nothing. He also left his captor – Naraku – bloodied and for dead.
However, over the course of the day he was able to regenerate. Now he was screaming in a frustrated rage. He threw every object and punched every wall. The ones that were lucky to escape Inuyasha weren't that lucky anymore. Naraku impaled them with his tentacles, sliced their throats, and ripped out their hearts so fast that they were still beating.
Taking several deep breathes he narrowed his eyes and stared at his mess. They would pay. He noticed one last maid trying to get away. He instantly impaled her in the abdomen to stop her and then slowly stalked towards her.
Gripping her throat, he held her against the wall. She was crying and fear filled her eyes.
Slowly and sadistically he would increase the pressure over her throat. She coughed up blood and eventually his grip was so tight that he had maimed her entire neck; he let her lifeless body and head fall to the floor.
Woefully he looked down on her. No one respected or liked him; not even his workers. They only feared him.
He only ever wanted to be like and accepted. Which was why he targeted Inuyasha. He was sure that he would gain an ally with Inuyasha; after all, they were so similar. But he wasn't prepared to find that he felt some sort of filial loyalty to his family. So, he would be killed as well.
Pushing his hair back, he straightened himself and regained his composure. He decided that it was of no matter. He would find another outlet, another way to infiltrate and destroy the ever beloved and respected House of the Moon.
After all, nothing lasts forever and even the strongest can fall. He would attack the weakest link immediately. Not for the satisfaction of revenge and blood but to merely send a message.

Listlessly, Kagome lay on the sofa at her families shrine. She was bored and tired of demon nonsense, so she went home. But she forgot about the fact that her family was boring. Her grandfather was in the shed going through 'demon wards', Souta was playing a video game and her mother was making food.
"Souta," she turned only to be faced with his back. "Stop playing video games and talk to me," she whined.
"Come on sis," he sounded annoyed. "I'm close to beating this level. Don't you have a husband to bother now?"
She made a dirty face and pouted. Even if she wanted to bother that guy, she couldn't. They all went to some exclusive demon council meeting. As if she'd want to go to that. Sango and Miroku were on some date at the zoo. She, Kagome Higurashi, was utterly alone and utterly bored. Reluctantly she got up and went to the kitchen.
"Hi mama," she said looking at the pot. "Need help?"
Her mother smiled. "Oh no, dear. I'm already done," she kissed her forehead. "Set up the table and I'll make you a plate."
Kagome set the table, while her mother called her brother and grandpa over to the kitchen. They all sat and ate just like before.
"Kagome," Souta said with a serious expression. "You eating here every day when you moved out was cool. But seriously, don't you think you should eat at your own house now?"
"Souta," his mother reprimanded. "Your sister is welcome over any time."
To which Kagome, stuck her tongue out at her little brother.
"And besides, we both know that Kagome can't cook," she added in.
"Yes, in fact just a couple weeks ago I saw that she tried to hide her burnt ramen," their grandfather recalled.
Souta laughed mockingly and Kagome pouted.
"You guys are mean. I cook just fine."
Just then, Souta burst out into laughter. "Ha! Sure you do sis."
Kagome gave her brother a dirty look and then smiled down at her plate. Everything was still the same, and that made her happy. Her grandfather continued to go on about demons – completely disregarding who her husband was – her mother talked new recipes, and her brother Souta simply teased her the entire time.
However, as they were enjoying their meal and company, enemies lurked in the shadows, preparing to attack. Their orders were clear; kill the family, but only severely harm the girl.

Sesshoumaru was growing weary of the meeting. Inuyasha was recounting everything that had happened and his father and the other elders were discussing what they were after. Obviously they were after their lives, but clearly they were too dense to understand that.
"I believe that this Naraku poses no real threat," Touga said confidently to everyone in the room. "Inuyasha was able to at least slow him down and our House has never been stronger."
There were murmurs of agreement. But there were some who were skeptical.
"And what about the human girl," one of the skeptics asked. "How important is she to you?" It was directed to Sesshoumaru. "Her vulnerability makes her an easy target and can easily put you in risk."
Sesshoumaru simply rolled his eyes.
Another, stood up. "Yes, we must all remember how the great Inu no Taisho fell because of a human woman."
Touga let out a warning growl.
"Point is, she is a liability. Either mate her or discard her. Females have a way to wrap people around their fingers and turn them into careless beings."

Kagome and her family were hiding in the basement. She had a barrier around them so they would be able to scent or hear them. Kagome felt a sinister demonic presence and immediately forced her barrier around the entire shrine. However, she could only keep it up long enough to run downstairs. Souta was buried in their mothers chest and her grandfather was saying it will be fine.
But Kagome knew better. This had to be tied in with Inuyasha's kidnapping.
Quickly, she dialed Sesshoumaru's number. It rung but there was no answer. She left a message.
Hurriedly and frantic she said, "Sesshoumaru, I- I didn't know who else to call. There are demons in my shrine. I think they want to hurt me or us – my family us, not you and me us. Please help," she shut her phone."
Taking a deep breath, she realized he wouldn't come in time or even at all. She could hear them upstairs, destroying things looking for them.
She got up and said, "I'm going up there."
"Kagome no," her mother said adamant.
"They'll find us eventually," Kagome countered. "I'll be fine. Grandpa's wards should be able to keep you hidden for a little while. At least until I lure them outside."
She picked up a paper ward from a drawer in the basement and stuck it to the wall. It glowed bright for a moment which was a sign that it worked. She picked up an old bow and slung a quiver across her back. Grabbing an arrow she started to go up the stairs.
"Stay quiet," she said turning back to her family. "And don't follow me. I can take care of myself."
With each step she grew more and more nervous. She was going to face several demons on her own and she was scared.
She took a deep breath. 'Five seconds and you have to keep breathing. Four, try not to be scared. Three, and I may die from a heart attack. Two seconds left, and I wonder what's behind the door. And one, there's no turning back.'
Kagome was now closing the basement door behind her. She carefully made her way through her house. It was completely trashed and destroyed. She was in the living room and noticed that they even went as far as to slash her sofa. What was the point of that?
"Stupid girl," a male voice said which made Kagome immediately turn around. "Should have stayed hidden; the chase is half the fun."
Kagome had her arrow poised at the youkai who spoke. There were two other, each at either side of him and they were laughing.
"Stupid demon, should have picked a different shrine to trash." She let go of the bow string and sent an arrow flying straight into his heart, purifying him immediately. She quickly grabbed another arrow and made a run for the outside.
The two others were now angry and desperate for blood. They didn't care about orders, they wanted her dead.
One of the demons leapt for her leg and pulled her down. She turned to her back and tried to fight him off by erecting a barrier around her body. Which forced him to recoil but not before slashing her abdomen with his claws. She got up and immediately put a hand to her wound and continued to run until she was finally outside.
"Run all you want," one of them taunted. "But you're only human and you can't run forever."
She was face to face with the both of them. Her injury weren't so bad, it was more of a series of scratches. But there was one that was particularly deep, and although she wouldn't die, she was definitely losing blood.
"Bring it on," Kagome said determined with her bow at the ready.
They both ran towards her, and she smirked at how easy it would be. She sent an arrow flying which would purify one but as one of them was struck, the second jumped up before she could process. He landed right behind her and had her roughly by her throat.
"Don't be too confident, human," he said it like an insult. "Now I'm going rip out your insides, but I'll make sure to keep you alive long enough so you can witness your family being ripped apart, limb by limb," he licked the outer part of her ear, making her shutter.
Kagome clamped her eyes shut, trying to erect her barrier or bring forth her purifying powers but she was too tired and too hurt.
But then by the grace of God, she no longer felt the demon on her back or more importantly his hand on her throat.
"Perhaps I was wrong in thinking you had strong bloodlines," Sesshoumaru commented nonchalantly. "He was only a low level demon after all."
Relieved she breathed out, "You came," and then the stress and the blood loss caught up to her. She fell to ground, unconscious.
