Chapter Two: Failed
"AIIIIEEEEE!" Kagome shrieked, diving out of the way as a pair of claws flashed towards her at lightning speed. She fell against a support beam to the house, shaking. Her terror rose upon hearing Inuyasha's voice through the dark abyss of midnight. "Give up, Angel...this only makes it much harder for you.." Kagome quivered. She knew there was no chance...but she had to try. It was the only way to live.
Another flash. She squealed and back off from the pole, only seconds from an uncoming death. A red hot pain sliced across her neck, only causing a cut, but fear took over. "YAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
Inuyasha fell to his knees behind Kagome, feeling the deed was done. Standing up, he turned around to find the girl had disappeared. The scent of death had not been spilled across this landscape. Yet. The Angel of Darkness leapt down from the porch, able to wait as long as necessary..meanwhile, he'd have some fun.
Kagome peered out of her hiding spot, breathing heavily. She wiped away the traces of moisture that had dotted her forehead in the panic, then heard a low rustling from a nearby bush. Kagome gave a small scream and tensed to run. "W-wait.." she heard Miroku's voice. "Miroku!" Kagome exclaimed, dashing over to the bushes and falling to the grass on her knees. "Are you ok?" Miroku winced and sat up, one hand on his head. "Yeah. What was that thing?" he whispered quietly, a terrified tone in the night's cool air. Kagome didn't answer. Instead, she looked out where Inuyasha had disappeared. Give up, Angel..
What did he mean by that?
Inuyasha furled his wings, landing on a nearby roof. The small town was asleep; not a single person roamed the streets. Turning towards a nearby house, he decided only one family would die tonight. He'd leave the rest for later. Inuyasha jumped down silently from the rooftop, eyes trained on that one house. Sprinting to the front, he ripped the door from its hinges, exposing the entrance to the house. What a fun night tonight was going to be..
"Almost...there...Miroku..." Kagome breathed out in between pants. It was difficult to carry her cat up any amount of stairs, let alone a teenager. Why do these mansions have so many darned steps? she thought grumpily after stumbling twice by not being able to see her own feet. "Made it!" she gasped, climbing up on the patio and knocking on the door. Sango opened it. "Kagome! I wondered where you we-what happened to Miroku?" she questioned curiously. "Come on in, you can tell us there!" Kagome nodded gratefully and stepped inside.
"All the easier." Inuyasha hissed out between his fangs, stepping closer to the bed. The child was asleep, breathing comfortably between two soft cases of blankets on either side. Merciless killing was not his favorite thing. But who cared anymore? The Angel kneeled by the bed, smiling malicously. "After this, I have to stick to my agenda." he muttered quietly, flicking his claws into a poised position in the air and ready to strike.
"..and then he ran off, without another word!" Kagome finished, leaning forward to see her friends expressions. It wasn't exactly expected what she saw. Sango was on the verge of laughing, her friend Keiko snorting into her shoulder. All her other acquantences were glancing off to the side, shoulders shaking a little. "I-IT'S TRUE!" Kagome stuttered. Then she froze. "Oh no! I've got to stop him!" Sango shook her head softly. She's nuts..
He made a slashing movement at the boy's face, when a low hissing rushed through the house's corridors to his ears. A cold breeze swirled through the room, giving the words more meaning. "Youuuu.....faaaaaiiiiledddd..." Whipping his head up, Inuyasha snarled in reply. "Goodbyyyyye...." it hissed once more, the breeze slowly fading to a slight whisper. The Angel narrowed his eyes down to crimson slits, unperturbed by the interruption. He turned back to the sleeping boy, experiencing an odd fading feeling. It was so empty now. What was he going to do as a failure? Rule the world..no Master would stop him. The boy would live. There was no need to kill a child. First, the party would go.
Kagome rocked back and forth on the couch, face set in a worried expression. "Oh god, oh god.." Sango splashed some punch on her. "Enjoy the party! Look, I know you miss your new boyfriend, but don't get so worked up about it!" Kagome stared at her, shocked. "BOYFRIEND!? THE GUY TRIED TO SLIT MY THROAT!" Sango shrugged. "Whatever, Kagome-chan." Kagome looked nervously towards the door. "He's coming."
Inuyasha sniffed the air, the air tinged with the other Angel's scent. He smirked and glided down on the mansion's land, wings folding as he stood up. "You should have known it wouldn't be long, Angel."
