'Thoughts'
"Words"
Chapter One--Assault
"Kagome! Run! GET OUUT," InuYasha screamed, looking over his shoulder at the whimpering and wounded girl behind him huddled in the corner of the room. Jumping, she seemed to snap out of her fearful trance for a moment, the glazed look disappearing from her eyes as his calls startled her out of her mind's imprisonment, but it was only for a moment that she stared into his amber eyes, only a moment she made an attempt to get up, only a moment before she slipped back into the void of darkness keeping her from escaping their enemies grasp. Growling in frustration, he swung the Tetsusaiga once more, catching one of the horrific creatures that had come upon them late in the night, come to take the Shikon no Tama shards no doubt. 'Keh, they must be on herbs if they think they're going to succeed in taking them,' InuYasha thought as he ripped through another before turning and picking up Kagome's shaking form and leapt from the room, bending his form protectively over her as he burst through the thin ceiling, dancing majestically from rooftop to rooftop of the abandoned village to flee into the forest surrounding them.
As soon as he had reached a safe distance, miles away from their predators, InuYasha stopped, panting heavily as he leaned back against a tree, pulling Kagome tighter against himself as he thought back on what had happened....
-"InuYasha," A soft voice had called to him in his sleep and he stirred, cursing himself for dozing off in the first place as he glanced around, loosening the sword, Tetsusaiga at his side. "InuYasha, give them to me, give me the shards of the Shikon no Tama," The voice came again and he rose slowly, glancing around himself in apprehension as he looked to the side, his eyes catching the movement of the sleeping girl beside him. Despite his nervousness, a smile rose faintly on his lips before he stood and walked to the door of the small hut they inhabited and opening it, he stared at the empty village and then the forests further on. They had come here in search of shelter earlier that day, rain had been pouring in sheets of huge drops which had threatened to freeze in the cold weather and turn into hail, which, thankfully, after they had found the only intact hut for miles, did.
So they had stayed there, sticking to their evening routines as they usually did when they would camp in the forests, except instead of having to pile rocks around the fire, there was already a pit in the middle of the tiny structures floor where they cooked their usual meal of Ramen. And as InuYasha shoveled down his own food, he watched like a guard dog at the door, leaning back against the frame in deep thought as Kagome settled into her sleeping bag, falling into a light slumber.
But when the voice had come to him, arousing him from his own sleep, he shook his head, wondering if it was only a dream as he stood staring into the night, listening for sounds of anything that might Dare pose as any threat. 'Baka creatures...' He thought as he shook his head, turning away from the door before he could catch the movement just behind him now, its eyes glowing a deep violet as it neared their shelter, more sets of eyes appearing and following closely behind its way. Try as they might to be quiet, they were no match for InuYasha's sensitive hearing and his ears twitched at the noise of rustling bushes as he swung around, sword unsheathed to meet the opposers as he yelled a warning to Kagome.
With all the commotion, Kagome woke to the sound of InuYasha's yell and rose swiftly from her spot, searching frantically for her bow and arrow but failing horribly at finding it because of her sleep dulled senses, her eyes were blurring and the darkness Certainly wasn't helping any she had thought. Finally she spotted them leaning against one corner of the hut and picking them up she knocked an arrow into the bow and aimed for the monsters in which InuYasha was already fighting. "InuYasha! Duck," She yelled and InuYasha turned, falling to the floor as a purifying arrow whizzed over his head and dug deep into one of the creature's forehead, causing it to scream in pain before falling lifeless to the ground.
It was then that something strange happened, so totally unexpected that it made both InuYasha and Kagome gasp as the dark forms with glowing eyes fell away, parting at the entrance to their enclosure to allow a single figure pass through the doorway...-
