Creatures of the Night

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha but I can make him do the hustle!

Hi everyone me again! This chapter will probably much shorter because of the last chapter. Half of that was supposed to be in here but things changed a bit, oh well. Things are gonna get a little more exciting so be prepared and yes it will probably land on a cliffhanger.

Nighttime Horror

Faces turned as they watched Inuyasha go flying by, carrying Kagome on his back. When the shrine came into view, Inuyasha ran faster, ignoring the looks he was getting from the villagers.

Kagome started to go into a coughing fit. 'Shit, this could be worse than I thought, I better hurry up for Kagome's sake,' thought Inuyasha, dodging another villager.

He was already going up the stairs and took a large leap to get up there faster. As Inuyasha went through the air, he tightened his hold on Kagome. He soon came into view of a flag on the very top of the shrine. The flag was torn but the image bore into his mind. It was a picture of a weird wolf like creature and behind it shown a blood red moon. The eyes of the creature seemed familiar but he couldn't figure out where he had seen those gleaming golden eyes before…

"Inu…yasha," whispered Kagome. Her voice became raspy and Inuyasha took note of this.

Inuyasha snapped out of it and looked at Kagome. "What?" he asked a little annoyed from being torn from his thoughts.

Weakly, Kagome pointed to the ground and Inuyasha realized that they were still in the air and the ground kept coming closer and closer as they fell from the sky.

"Shit" was all Inuyasha had said before he landed with a thud on the hard gravel road. "Ow…."

Cuts were all over Inuyasha from the fall, he may have been half-demon but he was also half-human so the cuts did sting when he moved. His hair was covered in rocks and dirt, and a small rock was stuck above his right eye. He winced when he blinked, and searched for the source of pain. He winced once again as he touched the cut. The rock was still in his head and Inuyasha sat up right, and wrenched the rock out of his head.

"Ow, that fall hurt me a lot, worse when Kagome 'sits' me," said Inuyasha. Everything was quite for a few seconds until Inuyasha realized Kagome was no longer on his back. He quickly looked behind him and saw Kagome sprawled on the ground covered in cuts. He quickly went over to Kagome and lifted her off the ground. He put his dog ear to her chest to see if she was breathing while blushing furiously as he did so.

Ba-Bump…Ba-Bump…

He sighed gratefully. "She's alive good but she seems to be unconscious," Inuyasha sighed again and picked Kagome up bridal style and started to walk towards the shrine. "First things, first, I must take care of Kagome before I get my answers from Kazumi"

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Inuyasha had become lost in the endless hallways inside the shrine. Every turn he seemed to make was either a dead end, or back to where he began. He was getting really annoyed by this.

They turned into another dead end. "Damn it! Now I have to go back! Grr, why did they have to make all these hallways look the same?" Inuyasha fumed and turned around. "Who ever built this shrine should be kicked in th-!"

Faint noises were heard down the hallway. It sounded like someone was yelling. Inuyasha ears started to twitch madly trying to pick out what ever the person is yelling about. Still can't hear what their saying so, he tries to find the voices.

"Kazumi, I have talked with the professor and he said You-Know-What is coming," said a female voice Inuyasha instantly recognized as Akadori.

Her voice seemed to be coming from the huge door to the room where they had met Kazumi. He slowly crept forward to listen more.

Another voice spoke up thick with anxiety. "I see. Go and tell the professor my thanks and that he shall be rewarded for the information," the voice belonged to Kazumi.

"Um, what about the half-demon and their friends what if they…get attacked?" stuttered Akadori. Her scent of fear loomed over Inuyasha.

Now the air became thick with anger and annoyance, which had came from Kazumi, and that's when Inuyasha noticed. Their scent was much different from regular humans, no, very different, and they didn't smell like a demon either. She smelled more like…like the woman under the wreckage of the house! Astounded, he leaned in to hear more!

All was quite until Kazumi answered. "We will put them in our best rooms, the ones that you can't break through and you can't hear from the inside," she said smoothly, satisfied with her brilliance.

"B-but what if they get a-attacked," stuttered Akadori and took a deep, calming breath. "What if they get attacked by the-that thing and get-"

She stopped talking and the room had became dead silent. Inuyasha gulped in fear of being found out. He waited, and for a moment he thought he was unknown and they had went into another room, but the door opened suddenly and Inuyasha came face to face with a very pissed off Kazumi.

"Inuyasha how much did you-!" Kazumi stopped talking when she saw Kagome in Inuyasha's arms all scratched up. She went very pale and asked. "Wha-what happened to her?" she stuttered.

Akadori walked up to see what was going on and her reaction to Kagome was practically the same thing except she became very silent.

Inuyasha became confused. "We fell and she fainted from a dead-" he was cut off by Kazumi.

"I see," Kazumi said, a little relieved. She regained her composure and spoke to Akadori. "Take Kagome to the healers and Inuyasha we will clean you up instantly"

Akadori nodded and took Kagome out of Inuyasha's arms, even though he did not want to her to be out of his sight. She swung Kagome over her shoulder with ease and went down the hallway without flinching or falling.

Mouth gaped open by the strength of the human female, he remembered that probably weren't human at all. I mean, how did they know he was listening to their conversation? He was positive he was very silent and couldn't be detected but yet he was. And their scent, that was not normal. It seemed there is more to this town than he thought, and he was going to figure it out.

"Come with me Inuyasha, and we will get those cuts of yours cleaned up," said Kazumi pushing the hanyou down the hall.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Kagome woke up awhile ago but she wanted to lie down for awhile longer, she never got the chance do this in the Feudal Era before and it was a nice change of pace. She decided to shift through her thoughts while she rested a while longer.

Her thoughts came down open the girl she saw that morning in the village. She was very strange, why didn't she talk at all and her eyes…they changed colors but not exactly like Inuyasha's eyes when he turns into his full demon form but…deadlier.

Kagome shivered at thought of the eyes of the girl. Kagome tossed over the covers of the bed she was in, deciding not to sleep with the thought of the girl in her mind. As she got out of her bed, she noticed some beautiful kimonos layed out. Kagome picked up one and looked at it. It had a beautiful pattern on it.

It was blue, and on the front was a red moon. The color of the moon was blood red and reminded Kagome a great deal of the little girl's eyes. She assumed it was for her, because, well. Kagome looked at herself and saw how torn up and muddy her school uniform was and glad that the kimono was there.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Inuyasha was walking down the hallway being led by a servant. After his cuts were cleaned he wanted to see how Kagome was doing. As he was being led down the hallway he heard a piercing scream that seemed to becoming from one of the rooms, and it belonged to Kagome. Inuyasha ran down the hallway trying to find the source of the scream.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Kagome was standing on her bed practically naked, screaming bloody murder because she saw a mouse. Yes, a bloody mouse.

"Kagome, don't worry I am coming!" she heard a voice from outside the door.

But before she could respond the door was blown open.

Inuyasha stood in the room, staring at an almost naked Kagome. He started to blush furiously and he wanted to look away but his human side wouldn't let him look away. Kagome shocked that Inuyasha busted in here to save her, realized she was in her underwear and Inuyasha was gawking at her.

Quickly grabbing something to cover herself up, she yelled his least favorite words. "S-sit boy!" she screamed and Inuyasha fell to the ground. "Sit! Sit! Sit!" and he collided again and again with the ground, until he became unconscious and Kagome calmed down.

"Um, Miss Kagome, what did you do to the hanyou?" asked a servant looking at Inuyasha, bewildered that Kagome took down the hanyou so simply.

Kagome looked up to see Akadori poking Inuyasha. "I sat him," said Kagome but Akadori looked even more confused. "I'll explain later, but now I liked to get changed"

Akadori got up and bowed. "Yes, right away," and left the room leaving Inuyasha on the floor, drooling.

"Akadori, wait!"

"Yes, Miss Kagome," said Akadori returning to the room. Kagome pointed to the drooling hanyou. "Oh, yeah, sorry Miss Kagome, I'll get him out of here quick," she said cheerfully and picked up the hanyou with ease, like she did with Kagome.

As the door was shut, Kagome sighed with relief, and began to get changed quickly, incase someone came busting in her room again.

After Kagome was done changing, a servant outside her room led her to the dining room, where Kazumi, her and the gang were supposed to eat at. As she entered, she was amazed by how it reminded Kagome of her family's dining room in their house.

Kazumi looked up from her food and smiled. "Ahh, Kagome you are awake that's good, we worried that you wouldn't be joining us," she said sweetly and pointed to the seat next to Inuyasha. "Have a seat"

Kagome smiled and sat by Inuyasha, who looked away angrily. Kagome looked at him with sadden eyes. 'He must be mad because I sat him, I guess it wasn't really his fault for busting in, he was trying to save me,' thought Kagome and sighed again.

She sighed again and Inuyasha turned to look at her. 'That's the third time she sighed, is she really that sad that I'm mad at her! Maybe I should forgive her?' he shook that idea quickly. 'No, she sat me and I have every right to be angry! I mean, I thought she was in danger but she was only changing-'

Inuyasha started to blush furiously at seeing Kagome in her under garments. He glanced at Kagome and blushed even more, and looked down. 'Maybe I should pretend it never happened, better for me of course if I didn't think about it' Thought the hanyou and was unaware Kazumi was staring at him.

Kazumi glanced at Inuyasha then to Kagome, and decided to see if her thought was right. "So Inuyasha, are you mated to Kagome?" she asked sweetly.

Both of their mouths were gaped open at the comment and they both flushed furiously. Kagome looked down at her food and Inuyasha answered bluntly. "No, weren't not fuckin' mated!" he yelled still blushing.

Kazumi was shocked at his language but ignored it. "Sorry, it's just you two acted like a couple a lot and I just assume-"

"Well, you assumed wrong!" he interrupted angrily.

Kazumi looked at him with a sincere look of apology. "Please accept my deepest of apologies, I am sorry if I offended you with that comment Inuyasha, and Lady Kagome" she bowed her head apologetically.

Kagome bowed her head back at her, accepting her apology but Inuyasha turned his head away. Kagome say this and nudged his side, and glared at her, of course, glared at him back.

Inuyasha growled angrily, "You're…forgiven," and he continued eating without saying another word no matter what Kagome tried to say.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

As everyone finished eating, Kazumi forced everyone into their own rooms, saying how late it was. The sad thing about it was Kagome wasn't able to talk to Inuyasha and apologize to him.

She sighed and lay down on her soft bed. Strange, it felt like the one at her house, they really have to be high-tech to have comfy beds. Kagome climbed under her covers and fell asleep quickly.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

It was nighttime and the whole shrine was quite, and no one was awake except for Akadori. She was supposed to be on the lookout for thieves and…it. Oh, how she hated the dark, it freaked her out so much.

The hallway was very dark, and Akadori's shadow was cast on the wall. Everything was quite and her breath seemed to quicken.

Grrrooowl…

Akadori heartbeat stopped. 'No, it couldn't be here, no not now,' she thought and she felt tears brim at her eyes. She was terrified but she had no choice but to search for the source of the sound, it was her duty.

Her heart was pounding and so were her ear drums. She was shaken badly, and felt the color rush from her face. Whatever had made the sound did it again, and it seems to come from the room next to her.

She gulped, and her tears started to stream down her face. The room was dark, and the only light that seemed to come through was from the window. Akadori took a deep breath, and went to the window. Akadori collapsed to the ground on her knees, and screamed. Her screams were heard throughout the whole shrine, and awoke everyone.

To be continued…
