Hi! PaperWolf27 here, bringing you my 2nd ever fanfiction. I know my other fanfiction, "Link's Story", isn't finished, but I'm suffering from a bad case of writer's block for that while I have all these really good ideas bouncing around my head for other stuff! Why let good inspiration go to waste?

Only Skin-Deep
Chapter 1: Fire and Carnage
It happened so quickly.
The two mysterious figures had descended upon the prosperous village like phantoms.
No one had seen it coming-they had attacked swiftly and without mercy. All anyone had seen of them was an occasional flash of black or white. The only other indication they gave of being there at all was their cruel laughter that clamored above the sounds of splintering wood, roaring fires, and the screams of the villagers.
Now, the area where the village once stood resembled the aftermath of a bloody battle.
It was a gruesome sight. Every house in the village had been reduced to a burnt-out shell. Few villagers had escaped the carnage-the ground was littered with the bodies of the dead and dying. The smell of smoke and blood hung heavy in the air.
A lone villager was making his way across the ruins. He was gravely injured, and was leaving a trail of blood behind him. Finally, when he could walk no more, he collapsed-right at the feet of one of the mysterious figures.
The last thing he saw before darkness took him was his tormentor's face-a face that, despite being clouded with cruelty and hatred, was all too familiar to him…
"L-lady Kagome…?"

Inuyasha: A little on the short side, huh?
PaperWolf27: (still unconscious from flying lawsuit)
Inuyasha: Wow, she really got brained, didn't she?
Kagome: I guess so.
PLEASE R&R!
