Withen The Shadows

Kagome stood.Looked around.And swiftly,stealthily slipped out of the door,into the darkness. Alone.

Inuyasha opened one eye sleepily,looking around.Sango was asleep by Kirara,Kirara was asleep with Shippo,and Miroku was sleeping suspiciously close to Sango.Kagome was,nowhere. This got his attention! Kagome wasn't here,she was gone,and in the dead of night! His eyes snapped open,as he got up to go look for her.

But he didn't.He stopped,as the door opened.In slinked the black shape,resembling Kagome.In she came,and down she sat. And she closed her eyes,and fell asleep,just in time for the sun to rise.

Inuyasha just watched her. What was she doing? Why was she out so late? Why was she being so quiet? What was she trying to hide?

But it was then,that,he sniffed the air. Well not really,he dons't go around sniffing at air every day. It was more like the smell just wafted into his nose. It was fowl,evil,and merged with Kagome's own sweet honey scent. It was the scent of blood!

The sun rose,and her friends awoke,but she didn't.

"What's wrong with Kagome?",Shippo asked,looking at his friend as she refused to awaken.

"Hmph,she was out late last night doing who knows what! She just came in about an hour ago,no wonder you can't wake'er up",Inuyasha snarled,decideing to keep the blood a secret. It wasn't her blood,it was something else's. But why it was on her breath,was beyond him.But it wouldn't be for long.He had made it his new mission,to uncover this secret of hers.

The sun fell,and her friends fell asleep,except for Inuyasha.

He was awake,when she stirred.When she looked around,to make sure they were all asleep.She didn't see him,know he was listning to her every move. But she could hear his claws,tapping against the floor impationtaly.

"What is it Inuyasha,why are you up so late?",She asked,looking straight at him.It was dark,but she could see,he was practicaly silent,but she could hear. He was confused.

"Back at ya?",He replied,opening his Amber eyes,haveing them glow in the pitch black dark.

"I have my own reasons",she remarked,almost tonelessly. he was again confused,toneless wasn't her style!

He listned,he could hear the slight panik in her voice.Her tone wavering.

"What's wrong/",he asked.

Her breathing paused.

"Everything",She replied,shuffling nervoiusly.He could hear her panting. She desired something,he could smell it on her. He raised his nose and sniffed at the air again,takeing in her scent. It reaked of death,of blood,of fear,of desire.

he closed his eyes and listned to her feet,as she dossapered in to the night,merging with the shadows. Now,more than ever,he was confused. She smelled like his Kagome.But she smelled like death too.Something was diffrent,wrong.He didn't like it.

Scilence. Scilence was ringing in his ears.And then the scilnce was there no more,as a blood curtling screech,rang out.It was from some animal,but it made him wonder.What was Kagome up to out there? When would she return?

He got his answer,about three minuets before the sun rose,as she ran in.Out of breath ,and reaking of blood.
