**** Hey ya'll. I'm just gunna for warn you, this chapter is VERY nasty and
had a lot of blood and ripping of the flesh and stuff. So if you don't like
that kind of stuff, don't read. I also wanna say, when I first started this
story I got lots a reviews. Now though, I'm barely getting any. Do you
people not like this story anymore? By reviewing, I can figure out what I
need to do. It tells me what I should do better. But now I don't know
whether or not I should just give up on this story. Please R&R, even if it
is a flame. I would love to know how I could improve. Thanks. ****
Chapter 8
It growled, its mouth drooling for food. It was hungry, it needed something to eat. Hissing, the creature watched as a young boy, maybe about six or seven in human years, played with a butterfly. The boy, running around happily, was making him more and more hungry. Finally, it pounced. The young boy never even got a scream out before the thing demon jumped on top of him and ripped into his next. Blood gushed out from the open wound. Ripping and tearing, the demon tore bloody chucks of the boys skin right from the bone. It ate happily, loving the sweat iron taste of the raw meat. Finally, its meal was over. Only a bloody skeleton with some now rotting flesh was left. Yet the demon was still hungry. Food, that's what it needed, lots of food.
' Wait, just wait. More humans, more children will come looking for this one. You will be fed soon.' The voice in its mind growled.
Nodding to itself, it licked its black fur clean of the blood and jumped away into the forest to wait.

Kagome felt tears threaten her eyes. Just staring at what was left of the child wanted to make her vomit. It was once a young boy, Inu Yasha and Miroku had observed. But someone, something had eaten him. Miroku had said he saw nothing like it. The poor boy seemed to have been hit in the neck first, bloody tissue still protruding from the wound.
" What could do such a thing though? I have seen demons eat people, but not like this. Never like this." Sango gasped out.
Kagome soon knew why she gasped. The smell. The thing must have been lying around for quite some time. Its face was masked in a look of pure terror.
' Something must have attacked him before he even had a chance to cry out.' Kagome sighed in her mind.
They had come across a small village. By talking with the villagers, they had learned of an attack involving a small boy. They had just been meaning to talk to the child's parents, but then they had seen it, the boy.
" Children have been coming up missing for over a week now. We end up finding them dead, eaten just like this one." The child's father mumbled, tears streaking his pale face.
Kagome felt anger well up inside her. Even a demon had to have some care no to hurt a child. This boy couldn't even be old enough to hold a sword! How could he defend himself against such a monster!
" We should leave, head for the closest village and see if they have had any problems." Miroku suggested.
Kagome nodded sadly, upset that they couldn't do much of anything. All six of them, Kagome, Inu Yasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and Orphan set out, afraid and eager to see what town they would find next.

Jack sighed and looked down at the bloody corpse of the child. Not even ten years old and was already killed by a demon. Somehow, he felt it was wrong.
Jack had been taught to kill anyone, at any cost, but he would never hurt a child. He had even been lashed and beaten y Naraku because he would protect the children from his evil. For some reason, he loved children.
' What this demon did was just wrong, plain and simple.'
Kneeling down, he took out and extra cloak and layed it over the boy, hiding the child's face and bloody body. He said a prayer, making the sign of the cross, and stood back up.
' Please god, let this child go to heaven. He didn't deserve this kind of death, please forgive his sins.'
Bowing to the young boy, he walked onward.

Sango was horrified. Her whole world spun as she looked at the village.
' Or what's left of it.'
Something had attacked it. Blood was everywhere, the village almost drowning in it. Houses were torn down, building destroyed. She could see boding lying everywhere, all looking just the same as the young boy had back at the previous village.
" What.. what happened here?" Orphan gasped.
" I don't know." Inu Yasha breathed. He seemed a little nervous and was constantly sniffing the air.
Everyone split up, looking for clues as to what may have happened. Sango wiped the tears from her eyes, starring at the corpse of a young man, Miroku's age, which seemed to have been screaming in agony. His whole stomach torn up, his lungs and intestines protruding out. It was horrible. Suddenly she heard Shippou scream. Spinning around, she saw a huge animal over the young kitsune. It had short glossy black fur and looked almost like a dog. The animal growled and tried to bite for Shippou, but Inu Yasha hit it off.
" What in the seven hells is that!" he cried.
Sango gasped when she saw blood caked on its fur. That was the animal who had killed these villages! Crying out, she jumped up and threw her boomerang bone at the creature. It jumped out of the way, growling and snarling at the intruders. Tilting its head up, it gave an inhuman howl and bounded off into the woods.
" What in the world was that!" Kagome breathed.
" I don't know, but I know of someone who does." Sango mumbled, picking up her boomerang bone and heading toward the mountains to an old friend, Kitara, brother of Kirara.
**** Mwahahahaha, I have finished another chapter. I told you I would be adding some new characters in, did I not? Please R&R!!!!! Thanks lots! ****
