A/N- Ok it's my first fan fic!! Read the A/N I'm only putting this up at the persistence of friends. Criticism is welcomed as long as it's not like cruel. Sorry if the characters seem a little OOC. Feel free to let me know when I mess up to much.

Disclaimer- I don't own InuYasha and gang.

Tears of Light

Ch.1 The Cabin

As they struggled through the snow storm InuYasha was silently cursing himself for not sensing the storm earlier. He and Kagome had left to find a jewel shard that se had sensed but the creature that had the jewel had managed to elude them. Sango and Miroku had gone to another village after hearing some rumors about a demon with a shard. They had decided to split so that they would hopefully get to shards without having to make an additional trip. Shippou had wanted to come with Kagome and him but he sent Shippou with the others, Kagome had not been happy with this but didn't argue. Remembering Kagome he glanced over his shoulder at her.

Kagome was trudging through the snow that was now up to her knees. 'It is so cold!!! Even with this coat, I'm still freezing!' Kagome thought with dismay. Though she also knew that if it hadn't been for her mom she probably would have collapsed with hypothermia along time ago. She hadn't wanted to take the coat but her mom had made her and now Kagome was silently thanking her for it. She had desperately wanted to get back to InuYasha and the rest of the group after a week in the future. It had been a long week having to take tests and giving her friends excuses for the weird illnesses her grandpa had told them she had. She was anxious to get back she was wanting to see her friends and, afraid that her old ones might stop by. Her mother had stopped her on her way out and had insisted she take the coat.

~Flashback~

"Bye mom!" Kagome was running down the stairs towards the door.

"Wait Kagome!!" Her mom had called after her. Kagome had stopped at the bottom of the stairs. Her mom came out the living room with a coat in her arms. "You should take this with you honey. The winters are harsh and start much earlier than they do in our time, this coat will keep you warm if you get into a storm." Her mother stated this and then handed her the coat, she had started to argue but hearing some one knock at the door had her out the back and into the well with a final goodbye to her mom.

~End Flashback~

Now as InuYasha and herself staggered through the snow, she was grateful for her mothers concern. Kagome glanced up at InuYasha ahead of her.

"There's a cabin ahead" He yelled his words were almost lost in the wind. But nonetheless the words were welcomed Kagome was getting tired and was starting to go numb in her toes. That was a bad thing with temperatures like this it could mean frostbite.

Half a mile later they were in a spacious cabin. Upon inspection they discovered the inhabitants to be gone. Though it looked like their absence was temporary. They cabin was furnished nicely and had plenty of food and blankets. After the pair had dried off and, Kagome changed clothes, they sat in front of the fire that InuYasha had built.

"Tomorrow we should head back and see if the others had better luck than we did." Kagome broke the silence that engulfed them. InuYasha still a little pissed that they hadn't found the shard only replied with a typical 'feh'. Kagome seeing that she was getting nowhere told InuYasha that she was going to bed. With that she walked into the only bedroom and went to sleep.

InuYasha was slipping into sleep when something else took hold it wasn't like sleep. It was cold and unnerving. Something was taking control of him, that was his last thought, as he slipped in to darkness. Kagome woke up she felt something coming, but it wasn't a jewel shard it was more like someone. Kagome rolled of the futon and crept to the door. She opened it just enough to see through to see what was going to happen.

Suddenly InuYasha jumped up and was looking at the door. Almost on command the door opened and a shadowy figure stood in the doorway. The door blocked the firelight so you could only see a silhouette. Kagome's thought when InuYasha spoke one word that made her gasp.
