Bane throughout time

There is no explanation for evil. It must be looked upon as a necessary part of the order of the universe. To ignore it is childish, to bewail it senseless. By: W. Somerset Maugham
For all of those loyal IY fanfic readers and reviewers, I urge you to join the Midgard Forums, an IY forum, also in which I moderate. 4: The timeless collection
Inside the large room was a morbid collection, collected throughout the years. The mutilated bodies of girls and men were hung from the ceiling. Some strange substance preserved others, in the poses they were in before dying. It seemed like the demon had gathered quite a collection of victims, there were even mummified men wearing armor from Inuyasha's time period. The walls were literally painted with blood, it seemed that the demon was killing people for a long time. As Inuyasha and Kagome slowly walked through the large room, they came to an open chamber filled with weapons.
"Hold on a second…" Inuyasha walked into the chamber and examined the weapons decorating the walls. There was a weapon of every kind, all in alphabetical order; there were axes, butcher knives, cleavers, etc…As Inuyasha walked past every weapon a few items caught his attention, they were placed by themselves, they weren't exactly weapons though…
"What did you find?" Kagome asked as she walked into the chamber. In front of her was a torn piece of a beautiful boa, a fan, a shard of glass, and a pot filled with a foul-smelling purple liquid.
"These items…they look so familiar, but that would have to mean…" Inuyasha stepped back and walked out of the chamber.
"What? What's wrong?" Kagome asked. She looked at the items, and then she figured it all out. The demon had been alive far longer than she thought, but for it to have accumulated all those items, it would mean that it was alive for hundreds of years. All the items were from Inuyasha's time, did the demon wait that long, before finally finding her? It even had items from different countries; there were six shooters, turbans, scimitars, pieces of clothing and other items. What was it doing with items that belonged to Kagura, Kanna, Sesshomaru, and even Naraku.
Inuyasha stayed silent, the thought that a demon could have lived so long was hard for him to contemplate. He walked back into the room and pulled Kagome out, telling her that they had to get going if they wanted to save the girl. They continued their trek through the tunnels and walked past countless skeletons. The more Inuyasha saw, the angrier he became, the hanyou wanted so badly to get his hands around the demons' neck and kill him with his bare hands.
After walking for a few more minutes they came to another closed door. It was decorated with precious jewels and laced with enormous pearls. Inuyasha grabbed the handle and pushed the door open.
"Finally!" shouted a voice from within the room
Inuyasha and Kagome entered the room and found the demon holding the young girl in his arms. The demon gave a smile from ear to ear, as he pulled on the girl's hair, and grabbed her throat with his other hand. The girl could be seen crying, her clothing was torn to the point where she was nearly nude.
"I thought you two had gotten lost!" smiled the demon. He ran his sharp claws through the girl's hair and ran his slimy tongue across her face. "Well, that brings us to the conclusion."
Inuyasha began walking towards the demon with his hand placed on tetsusaiga, "What the hell are you talking about?" he yelled.
"You didn't really think that I was going to sully my hands by fighting you. It took me a few minutes to decide on how to deal with you, I'm going to walk out of here with Kagome, and there's nothing you can do to stop me." The demon moved backwards with the young girl and leaned against the wall.
"Yeah right! You're going to have to get past me first!" Inuyasha unsheathed tetsusaiga and advanced on the demon, but before he could get any closer, he could hear the sound of dozens of footsteps above him.
"This is where I exit, it was nice meeting you. I promise to give Kagome the same treatment as all my past guests…" the demon plunged his sharp claw into the girls back, she screamed in pain, and he threw her at Inuyasha. The hanyou dropped tetsusaiga and caught the girl before she fell on the floor. The demon became a sudden blur as he ran past Inuyasha, grabbing Kagome from the back.
The demon ran at an inhuman speed and reappeared in front of Inuyasha, the hanyou could only watch as the demon passed through the wall and disappeared with Kagome. The demons laughter could be heard echoing through the walls, as Inuyasha held the dying girl in his arms.
"Shit!" he cursed. Just when he thought things couldn't get any worse…
"FREEZE!" the sound of ten men shouting all at once startled him. He turned around, holding the bloody girl, and found that men dressed in black clothing surrounded him. All who were pointing automatic weapons at him. He glanced at their clothing and saw large white letters spelling the word "SWAT" (I don't know the Japanese equivalent).
AN: Yet another cliffhanger ending. Sorry, that this chapter is so short, and I promise that the next one will be back to the usual length.
