Chapter Three – Tactics of A Demon Girl
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Inuyasha woke up with a jolt, his whole body was on fire, and he was laying in a puddle of his own sweat. He looked around. He was in Kaede's hut. Kagome was in the middle of the room, sleeping in front of the fire.
He heard her mumble something, but didn't care to try and make it out. He brought his hands into his lap, he was shaking all over. But why? Why was he shaking? He couldn't be scared. There was nothing to fear.
That dream. It was about Azalie. What had happened. It was so vivid, it was like he was there. He could sense the fear rolling off Azalie, and himself. He could smell her blood. He saw every detail in perfect form. Everything was just the same.
He turned back to Kagome. Seeing her there seemed to help calm himself. All he wanted now was to be held by her, so he could tell her everything, tell her about Azalie and what had happened just to hear her say that it was ok, and that she was there. He longed for her to lightly kiss him on the forehead, and longed to pull her into his arms and return the kiss, but on her lips. He wanted to hold her and never let go. He wanted to feel her warm skin, relish off of her delicious scent.
He wanted to be with her. He wanted her. Wanted her to be his.
To make him forget the memories of the past.

"Are you ready?" Azalie asked her companion, receiving a low growl in response. She turned back to the village, hiding in the safety of the woods, waiting to attack. She grinned. "No, you're just hungry. Alright, go."
Her wolf-demon companion (not a wolf-demon like Kouga, a four-legged wolf demon) stalked out from the safety, his white fur gleaming in the moonlight. Every muscle curved under the soft fur as he sat on his haunches. He lifted his head up to the dark sky, letting out a blood-chilling howl.
Azalie watched in amusement as she could see the lights coming on through the windows of the hut. Akidu's voice lit up the night, the once silent village becoming active. Doors of the huts swung open, men with guns in hand walked out. They could clearly see Akidu at the top of the hill, and listened to the last seconds of his voice, full of pride and fearlessness to the weak humans.
Akidu slowly stood, tongue lolled out, and stalked down the hill, amusement lit his face. He never looked away, his glare locked on the men as several of them shouted orders for the rest to join them.
The villagers stood together, holding their guns up, ready to shoot when the demon came in range.
Pathetic humans. Do they really think they could shoot Akidu? Azalie amused herself at the villagers' stupidity, they had no idea what they were in for.
Akidu stopped at the bottom of the hill, letting out another cry to the moon, then moved on. He walked right at the end of the huts in front of the villagers, sat on his haunches and cocked his head to the side like a confused puppy.
Humans, being half-witted, were easily fooled. Some villagers began to lower their guns, others held them up and didn't shift their focus from the demon that at any second could run for the huts, for inside could be its dinner of the women and children.
For minutes, the demon didn't move. He seemed, some what, puppyish, his tail slowly batting the ground, his purple eyes glowing in the moonlight. But they knew it wasn't a puppy, or a regular stray dog that came by, looking for food. They could tell by the purple marks that lay at the end of its eyes, about four inches in length (somewhat like Sesshoumaru's). It was obvious, this wolf-demon was hungry. They could see the drops of saliva trickle from it's mouth.
Azalie grinned wider. This was Akidu's favorite part.
Slowly, the demon lifted its head upright, his eyes blurred and hazy with lust. A lust for death, for blood, and he wanted to fulfill that lust.
The demon began to growl and bared his teeth. Saliva trickled from it's mouth.
A shot went off.
When the dust cleared, the villagers froze. The demon had disappeared.
"You must of blown 'em to bits!" one said, the villagers laughed triumphantly, lowering their guns and leaning on them.
Then something happened.
Out of nowhere, the demon jumped at the villagers. Teeth bared and claws extended. His large body took down most of them, the rest just falling in impact. In seconds, he tore through the villagers.
This is my chance. Azalie thought. Quietly she sped through the forest to the other side of the village, not caring if she was seen since the villagers were a little caught up.
Pushing the door to the first hut open, she slowly walked in. She could hear a baby screaming, but couldn't see anyone in the room. She figured there was a second room it was in.
She jumped when a door opened slightly, a woman poked her head out. She opened her mouth to say something, then saw Azalie. Her eyes widened, then she shut the door. She heard the woman run around the room, then, the baby stopped crying and it was silent again.
Azalie opened up a cabinet, pulling out all the food that looked edible. She stuffed it in the small bag she had swung over her shoulder, and left the cabin.
At the top of the hill, Azalie cupped her hand to the side of her mouth and let out her own howl, telling her companion she got what they sought. In seconds she saw the flash of white that was Akidu fly up the hill, and stand in front of her, tongue lolling out and blood all over his face and paws.
"You made sure not to kill anyone right?" she asked, even though she knew the answer. She had raised Akidu since he was a pup, and she had made sure he never killed a human. He was only to distract, but was not to kill.
Azalie smiled, knelt down and rubbed his ear softly (Like Inuyasha :D).
"Good job. Come on, I'm hungry." Azalie turned and jumped off into the woods, Akidu close at her heels.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Azalie laid her head against Akidu's stomach, rubbing her own softly.
"Ok, maybe I should have stopped at the chicken." She said smiling. Akidu growled in response, his eyes closed. He was full too. "That should keep us full for several days."
Her smile faded into a small frown.
That guy. With the white ears. He must be a half demon. He reminds me of someone. I just can't figure out who. Hmph. Maybe we will run into each other again here soon.
She smiled inwardly, then pulled the brown cloak over her, in minutes falling to sleep.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Kagome's eyes fluttered, then shut again. She leaned up, her hair falling over her shoulder. She rubbed her eyes, getting the last sleepy out of them. She looked over her shoulder. Inuyasha sat in the corner, his eyes were closed but his face was weary and she could tell he probably didn't sleep well.
She stood up, walking over to him and knelt down. Resting her chin on her hand, she looked him over. She frowned, then put her hand up to his forehead.
She gasped and pulled her hand away.
He's burning up! She said to herself.
Inuyasha slowly opened his eyes, his mouth slightly opened. When his eyes focused, he stared at Kagome for a minute, then cocked his eyebrow.
"What are you doing?" he said calmly.
"Inuyasha, your burning up!" she exclaimed, pressing her palm against his forehead again.
Grabbing her wrist and pulling it away he said, "I'm fine. Its just warm in here." He grumbled, remembering the nightmare he had not long ago. He was astonished he was able to fall back asleep, and kicking himself inwardly for thinking about Kagome that way. He knew she didn't feel that way for him. Did she?
Shaking his head slightly, he stood up, pulling Kagome up with him.
It felt his head pulse continuously, but tried not to show that it was causing him pain.
"You ok?" she asked, worried.
"Yeah." He said grouchingly, but in his mind it excited him to see her worried about him, and it took all his strength to hide it.

Wow, quick update for me. Just this morning I got the idea of making a chapter about Azalie and so I just up and started and finished :D But anyways, no I didn't skip the dream. You'll have to read the next chapters because I am not giving anything out. Here soon I am going to start giving out awards :) so start reviewing more and all that. Lol.
A little keeper: Always pay close attention to my story. Trust me, this is ALL in my head. I am a very "dreamful" person and I made this up for my OWN amusement. I don't care what you people think about it, I just made a good story with it and decided to go with it :D but if you don't pay close attention you could easily get lost and you wont know what just happened. So don't just skip lines or something like that xD
Ok, so I will be updating every like two or three days. Yay right? I used to update every day but it seriously takes me TO much time and I do want to have a life :D it took me one whole day to do this one chapter. So yeah, that's why I don't update daily any more.
Grr, its just so difficult for me to hold back and not make Inuyasha just pull Kagome tight to him and kiss her passionately on the lips. Then slowly ride his hand up her skirt and slid his tongue against the side of her mouth. Then-
Ok sorry…my day dreaming gets to me when it comes to Inuyasha and Kagome!
Well, hope you like this chapter. Enjoy the rest of the story! And remember to R&R my other stories!
Proart-san
P.S. Remember to come back in two days for the next chapter :D
