Disclaimer: Sorry, I didn't post this on the first chapter. It was slightly forgotten so I'll place it here. I do not own Inuyasha in anyway. I am merely using the characters to write a fanfiction story, which has no ties to the actual series. As some may have figured, this is an AU story so I hope you enjoy the rest of the story.
The Yin and the Yang Souls
Chapter 4: Meet the Vampires
Shippou stared into Kagome's shocked eyes and cocked his head.
"What?" he asked and jumped onto her shoulder.
"Nothing. Its nothing." she whispered and walked down the hallway.
"Kagome wait!" Sango called but Kagome had already left.
She sighed and looked at Kikiyo. "Well now what do we do?"
"We should go after her, but who knows where she went off to. This place could have anything in it." Kikiyo said as she shifted her quiver to the other shoulder.
"Well we can't just leave her." Sango snapped and ran after her.
"Idiots." Kikiyo mumbled and took off after both of them.
Kagome looked around her surroundings questionably. She had just fell into another trapdoor that led to a basement of some sort.
"Shippou, do you know where we are?"
"No. I know where Zephyr's room is and that's about it. Hers is on the 2nd floor," Shippou whispered as he snuggled into Kagome's hair scared.
Kagome smiled and started to find a stairway or something.
On the 3rd floor with Sesshomaru and CO
Sesshomaru snorted as he watched Kagome fall down the trapdoor into the basement. Zephyr just stared into the mirror, watching Kagome and Shippou try to find a way out.
"I'd best go find her. She'll be down there for a while." Zephyr started but was surprised when the silent demon stood up.
"Oniisama, are you feeling okay? You've never cared about the welfare of any intruders, why start now?" she asked feeling his forehead for a fever.
Sesshomaru sighed and walked off leaving Zephyr to her thoughts. 'Finally! Sesshomaru's becoming more emotional..' Zephyr smirked as she streaked across the ceiling following her brother.
Sesshomaru walked silently through the hallways towards the basement.
'Why am I going to retrieve her.. it's not like I like her or anything.. or do I? Nah. I am Sesshomaru… a fearful demon and a vampire of the night… I don't love.'
'No this is more like it. I am Sesshomaru a evil sadistic bastard. I am vain and homicidal,' a voice in the back of his mind commented.
'Who the hell are you to be telling me who I am. You're just that pathetic little voice in the back of my mind trying to be my conscious.' Sesshomaru thought venomously.
'Can't deny anything though. I know all your thoughts, especially those centering around a certain hunter.'
'But she is pretty… no beautiful. Her soft-looking raven black hair, deep blue eyes… warm smile. Cute laugh… wait… I did not just say that..' Sesshomaru sighed and started to ram his head into the hall wall.
'I bam am bam not bam going bam soft bam'
'Face it Fluffy, you're strung over her. The world's coming to an end! It's the apocalypse! The emotionless vampire has finally submitted to feelings!' the voice sarcastically cried.
'Hell to you…'
"You know that you'll leave a dent in your head if you make a habit of doing that." Someone pointed out from the ceiling tearing Sesshomaru from his thoughts.
"Zephyr, why are you following me? And since when have you been worried about my welfare?"
"Since you're my only brother that actually gives a damn about me."
"I' m only your half-brother… your mother was a neko… mine was not."
"So?"
"Forget it… go torture InuYasha or something."
"…… Okay." Zephyr shrugged and bounded off towards InuYasha's room a little too happy.
Sesshomaru shook his head and continued down towards the basement.
Kagome was starting to grow very impatient with the basement. She kicked the wall a couple times and punched it angrily.
"We have gone around this fucking basement only about a hundred times and I have yet to find anything that remotely resembles a doorknob! Gaah!" Kagome fumed as she furiously pounded on the wall, "I guess now I'll just punch a hole into the wall and see if it leads me out. If my hand doesn't fall off in the process."
About 5 minutes later Kagome was holding her right hand in pain and severely pissed off at the wall with barely a dent in it.
"What are these walls made of? Steel?"
"Actually, wood, but whatever did the wall do to you to make you brutally punch and kick at it like that?" A male voice rang out of nowhere.
'That definitely wasn't Shippou' the slayer thought.
"Who's there?" Kagome whispered as she backed up into the wall.
Sesshomaru stepped up to the Kagome silently until he was about a few inches away, their faces almost touching. Kagome stared into the golden depths of the man in front her and gasped.
'It's him!' she mentally screamed as her subconscious was danced around her mind happily.
Sesshomaru lifted his right hand up and brought it to Kagome's face and rested it on her cheek.
'So soft.' he mused, 'What am I saying.'
Kagome was surprised at his actions but surprisingly she leaned into his touch, still drowning in his golden depths. Sesshomaru stroked her cheek silently and began to trace the outline of her face as she looked on confused. His eye's held no answers of what he was planning. Kagome was beginning to feel lightheaded.
'Oh no. he's coming closer. is he gonna kiss me! That'd be nice. Wait… he's a vampire. He's gonna suck me dry! Well, that wouldn't be sooo bad I guess as long as it was him who did it. WHAT THE BLOODY HELL AM I THINKING!' Kagome began to panic as Sesshomaru drew closer.
But his face went towards her ear.
'What… is he gonna bite my ear?' Kagome thought sarcastically jumping when he spoke.
"Follow me if you ever want to get out of here." Sesshomaru suddenly walked away with Kagome staring after.
She quickly followed behind him in step. Shippou jumped up on her shoulder making Kagome wonder.
'Where has he been for the last five minutes? Oh well.'
Sango clutched her boomerang strap tightly ready to attack whoever decided to attack her. She didn't like this place, first Kikiyo falls into a hole and they find a young kit named Shippou then Kagome walks off and disappears. She looked behind her and didn't see Kikiyo form.
"And now Kikiyo disappears. This place is definitely rigged."
As if on que, something jumped down a little ways behind her. Sango, hearing this, began to walk slightly faster to gain some distance from the 'creature' that had fell from the ceiling. She heard it rise to it's feet and start to follow after Sango. Finally not able to take the pressure, the slayer broke into a swift run to escape it's sight. Suddenly without any warning, it disappeared without a trace. Sango slowly turned around to stare at where it used to be, and walked backwards into the chest of a sturdy figure. The slayer whipped around to face a tall man with piercing blue eyes and dark chestnut hair pulled up in a ponytail. Sango took one look at him and tried to flee. The man smiled a fanged grin and snatched Sango by the arm and pulled her back against him in a bruising grasp. Sango tried to free herself by a series of tactics. Kicking him in the shins or punching him randomly hoping to hit a weak spot but failed because he had her arms tightly pinned against him. Trying to reach her weapons was out of the question.
"Fiesty aren't we?" the man moving her up against a wall.
"Get away from me vampire!" Sango snarled at him desperately trying to free her hands so she could reach her poisons.
"Now now. No need for violence dearest."
"Who are you?"
"You may call me Kouga, dear."
"I'd rather die."
"That can be arranged." Kouga grinned baring his fangs, all too happy to fulfil her wish, when an arrow flew by slicing his cheek thinly.
Kouga stepped back slightly surprised and touched the slit. It healed instantly leaving not even a scar on his pale cheek. Out of the shadows stepped Kikiyo, bow armed and prepared to shoot again. Kouga snarled and sprinted off before anything else happened that he would regret.
"Are you alright?" Kikiyo asked approaching the shivering slayer.
"Yeah… sure, first you fall into a hole, then Kagome walks off like a zombie, and finally I'm almost sucked dry by a freak vamp with problems named Kouga. And to think my day could get any worse," Sango sarcastically spouted as she shifted her armor.
Kikiyo shook her head and started to walk off. "Come on, we've gotta find Kagome before Kouga or someone else does."
Zephyr Notes: Okay this chapter is done. I've decided to stop putting up the reviewers. It's a slight waste of space and misleads the amount of actual story written. Along with long and senseless author notes at the beginning and ends. And I don't think I put the disclaimer at the beginning so I'll probably post it on this. Heh, well I'm off to attempt to play Gunbound. A friend recommeded it so I'm gonna try. Ja matte ne.
