The boy crossed through the barrier, in pure shock. "Come on, we need to get to the village." Inuyasha said. "Hold tight." He finished, and the boy's hold increased around Inuyasha's neck. "Heave!" Inuyasha called, leaping from the well, and then breaking into a fast run toward the village. The boy on his back shifted uncomfortably, and he slowed down. Let Souta enjoy the surroundings… he was going to be grieving more soon enough. "Your sister is sick." He said to the boy. "She's in a deep sleep." He continued, and found the boy turning rigid. "She's in some sort of coma?" Souta asked.
Inuyasha continued running, but at a slower pace. "Yes… I'm afraid so, Souta." As they came upon the village, two small forms appeared in the street. "Inuyasha?" One called. That was Shippo, of course. "Shippo… what's wrong?" The boy raised an eyebrow and Sisshoru threw up his hands.
"WHATS NOT?" They asked in unison, and Souta slipped off his back.
"Is this guy… Souta? Kagome's brother?" Shippo asked suddenly. "He reminds me of… Kohaku… a bit." Inuyasha looked down at the wounded human boy, and in that light, in the boy's condition, Inuyasha had to agree with the Kitsune. Instead of doing this, though, he smirked. "Yeah, but he'd never make it as a Taiji."
"Hey!" Souta called pouting.
"I call it like I see it." "THERES NO TIME FOR THIS!" Shippo said suddenly. "THE WHOLE VILLAGE IS GONE! Sango, Miroku, Kagome, Kouga, Lady Keade all of them are gone, we were out hunting and… and…" He didn't finish that's sentence, for at that moment, Inuyasha burst past all three boys, leaving them in a cloud of dust so thick they couldn't see more than a foot in front of them.
The village was on the edge of Inuyasha's keen vision, and as he crossed the village lines, he was struck with a sudden emotional drain, sadness flooded him, but he knew not why, he was grabbed by fear, but saw no threat, felt tired and weak, but was well rested. The whole villages was surrounded by a feeling of depression, something, he learned, Demons could do after striking an area, with merely their energies. He sighed, and burst into the hut. As Shippo had said, Kagome and everyone else were gone. Shippo. He turned suddenly and raced back out of the hut and down the path. Minutes later he passed the village line, feeling the weight lift from him and sped back towards the three kids. How could he have been so stupid as to leave them on their own?
