Inu and Horoki pushed silently through the trees, trying to be as quiet as possible in case demons were the source of the glowing. Horoki stayed close behind Inu since his friend could easily protect him from any danger. Inu knew for a fact Horoki was scared out of his mind, and he knew he was as well, but they were both trying to play it off. Horoki pointed ahead through the trees. "There's a clearing up there." He whispered. Inu pushed a few branches out of the way and they spotted a clearing w here a light shinned bright. In the center there sat a woman, who was young and beautiful She didn't seem to be human since she had long flowing violet hair and wore a long silk kimono that appeared to be glowing.
"She has to be a demon." said Inu quietly. Horoki began tugging on Inu's shirtsleeve.
"What if she called us out here to eat us?" he whispered. Inu looked at Horoki with a disbelieving expression, then looked at the woman.
"Why would she eat kids? She looks like she called us out here to play with her or something. My mom old me a story once about a glowing princess that called children out to play with her and treated the children with treats and all." He piped. Horoki bit his lower lip.
"Why at the middle of the night though?" he asked. Inu shrugged and was about to give his theory when children slowly began to come into the clearing. Horoki took a few steps back as Inu stood up and began to walk forward.
"Inu. something can't be right. I mean, how come all of those kids and you could here the whispering and I couldn't?" Inu sat down in the grass, thinking this theory over, then he looked at the kids.
"OK, I've got it! Those kids look like they're my age and older. That means you weren't suppose to come." Answered Inu in a knowing matter. Horoki scowled and turned away.
"That's stupid." He muttered.
"Oh stop being a baby Houshi." Muttered Inu, standing up as his friend turned to him with a deep scowl. Inu had grown to like calling Horoki Houshi at times because that's what his dad called Miroku and they were friends. He figured it was a sign of manly affection and found it fit Horoki just fine since he wasn't too different from his dad in some ways.
"Inu. what if she wants to eat us up like in the stories I've heard the older village kids say?" he asked. Inu smirked and punched his fist into his palm.
"Believe me, when she finds out there's a demon out there, she won't try a thing." Horoki gave him a look that made Inu sigh. He knew for a fact Horoki was NOT convinced.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome rolled over on her stomach and sat up quickly, remembering that Inu was on that side of her and causing her to fear that she had crushed him. When she sat up, she noticed he wasn't even here. Of course, her first instinct was to panic since as soon as she looked up she noticed the open room window. She sat up quickly and turned to the direction across the room where Sango was sleeping. "SANGO! Horoki and Inu are GONE!" she screamed. Sango shot up in her bed as if she hadn't been asleep the entire time. The room door flew open and Inuyasha was looking around he room frantically.
"DAMN!" he growled. Miroku looked out the window and shook his head.
"Looks like the boys let curiosity take over yet again." He informed and pointed out the window toward the first. Kagome, Sango, and Inuyasha came to his side and looked in the direction of a glowing light. Inuyasha scowled.
"Looks like the demons are going to a new level of hunting." He muttered. Kagome looked up at him in confusion and looked back out he window.
"What do you mean? There's a bunch of demons out there eating?" she asked.
"No, just one." Answered Inuyasha and let out a sigh. "Remember that little legend I told you and you tell Inu a lot as a bed time story?" he asked. Kagome nodded, not knowing where he was going with this. "Well the story is more so real than a legend. though I would have thought those demons were all dead by now." He answered. Sango's eyes went wide.
"You mean to tell me there's a demon out there who managed to contact our kids and get them to come out there for her dinner?" she asked and Inuyasha nodded. He growled and climbed out the window.
"And I doubt two small boys like Inu and Horoki will satisfy her appetite." He answered. He was about to go when Kagome grabbed hold of him.
"I'm coming too." She said as Sango ran off, most likely to get her boomerang. He let out a sigh that showed he knew she was going to put up a fight if he said no.
"Fine, but I had better not have to save you. We've already got possibly a dozen kids to save as it is." He muttered and allowed her to climb on his back.
"Kirara! We've got to save Horoki!" called Miroku. The small cat demon hopped out the room window and transformed, allowing Sango and Miroku to climb on her back and they headed off toward the forest.
"So, will his demon eat the children alive or what?" Kagome asked from Inuyasha's back as he hopped through the treetops.
"She takes their souls, actually." He answered. Kagome's eyes widened and Inuyasha continued to explain. "She needs pure souls of happy children. but she won't go for completely young kids, like about Horoki's age. For what reason I don't know. I guess around the ages of 5 to 10." He answered.
"I don't get I? Wouldn't young ones make more sense due to the fact they are innocence through and through?" Kagome asked.
"Children that young are usually watched after better and have no way of getting out since their minds haven't exactly developed to the level of trouble making as five year olds I guess. Inu must have woken up Hiroki when he heard what ever it is the demon uses to call children."
"And I guess to get heir souls she sucks them out while the children are enjoying what ever I is she has brought for them." Inuyasha nodded and Kagome wrapped her arms tighter around him, burying her face into his back.
"Relax, Kagome. We're going to get to her before she can get our pup's pure soul."
