PyroChi: Finally time to write! Hugs old, damaged, bruised, and burnt laptop I missed you! I was away at camp for a long time and then New York and then Niagara Falls and then Cedar Point and tomorrow I'm going to Chicago. Thank you to those of you who have been patient with me and thank you for the encouragements. Yah, so if you haven't noticed the story has a hint of horror. But I think of it more as necessary as violence, gore, and stuff like that. Anyway, hate it or like it your still gonna read it.

Disclaimer: Fine, Fine I don't own it…………………since I was honest can I have a cookie?

The Town With No Name

Chapter: 3

" Kagome!"

" Kagome?"

"I'm sorry okay! Kagome!" Inuyasha had been searching for Kagome for hours and still had seen no sign of her. Her scent had completely vanished leaving no trail for him to follow. To make matters worse a thick, unyielding fog seemed to appear out of nowhere making it hard, even with Inuyasha's keen sight, to see five feet in front of him.

'Damn, this isn't a good sign! If I can barely see, Kagome must be stumbling around blind. Or worst she could have fallen and be really hurt.' He tried his best not to think of the worst possible predicaments Kagome could have found herself in, but the more he tried not to think about it the worse his fear became.

' And if she is it would be all my fault.' His pace slowed to a sluggish walk, his head drooping low in utter despair. He couldn't shake the thoughts and feelings away. It was hard to focus on anything but misery.

Inuyasha was so rapped up in his melancholy state that he began to wander hopping to come across a sleeping Kagome or at least some kind of clue as to wear she was. But the only thing he came across was a dark clouded path covered in eerie vines with blood purple bulbs. The fog was so thick he almost missed the path completely. He quickly looked around and sniffed the air. At first he only smelled the funky bulbs, but then a faint whiff of jasmine and vanilla! Inuyasha could recognize that scent anywhere! Kagome had been her and by the looks of this place she could really need some help!

After what seemed like a good half hour of running Inuyasha came to the edge of the road where there was a blank sign.

The sun had just started to ascend into the sky turning the still thick and peculiar fog into a haze. He peered into the haze and saw what looked like to be the outlines of huts.

" A town with no name……." he mumbled to himself.

For some reason the name stood out to him. As if it called to him on a subconscious level. Had he heard about it before? Maybe seen it somewhere? As hard as he tried to remember, he couldn't put his finger on it. Inuyasha stomped his foot and through up his hands in a fit of anger, causing the book to fall out of his hitori ( I know I spelled that one wrong.)

'That's it the book!' He remembered it from the front of the book! Quickly he flipped to the page where it listed the chapter. Fumbling a couple times and almost dropping the book once Inuyasha finally came to the chapter of the Town With No Name. As soon as he did he instantly regretted it.

Images of horrible monster doing the unimaginable things to poor soulless creatures who seemed to haunt every other page. The book dropped from Inuyasha's hands and landed with a thud in the dirt. Wait he could see the ground again! He quickly looked around and saw what appeared to be a typical village. The surprising part was everyone seemed to be up and hard at work already. The village was abuzz with people coming in and out of huts, smoke coming out of houses and market venders set up and running.

At first no one seemed to notice Inuyasha's presence, but a group of women past by heads low and stopped a couple feet away. The women were carrying bundles of wood on there backs and seemed to be

The women in front turned and lifted her head a little, but only so you could see her smile. She spoke softly and even Inuyasha had to strained hear her.

" Oh, hi there are you lost?"

" No, I'm actually looking for someone. Her name is Kagome and she's wearing a green skirt and a white shirt. Possibly very ticked off…. Still. Have you seen her?"

Inuyasha eyed her suspiciously, still trying to convince himself a book was just a stupid book, that there was no way this innocent village could posses such powerful demons. The site of the children playing off on the hills and the farmers hard at work made it quite the normal looking town. It almost made him forget the bizarre path he had walked to get here. That is until he saw the faces of the women.

All six of the women turned there faces upward and toward Inuyasha. The top half of there faces were covered in creepy masks with narrow eye slits. The women opened there mouths, in a devilish smirk, showing gleaming sharp teeth.

A lone girl in the middle of the group wore a straw hat that covered her face still, but when she spoke her voice was strong and reminded Inuyasha of bells.

" I don't think you want to see her." She said in a taunting voice

" All right what's going on her and where is Kagome!" Inuyasha reached for his sword but his hand was snatched away by the same vines as from the pathway. Before he could claw them away more shot up from the ground and covered his entire body. Sharp thorns dug into his skin and the smell of his own blood quickly filled his nose.

" Oh you'll only get more upset once you do and besides she's busy right now, can I take a message?" The girl curled her lips in a malevolent smile, obviously jeering him in a very child-like manner.

" What did you do to her! And what the hell is so funny!"

" Tell me. If you and that girl are so easily caught your other friends must be just as easy, no?"

Back at camp the sun just began to rise and Sango and Miroku were starting the daily routine. Get up, get packed, and get going. Only one problem, Inuyasha and Kagome still hadn't returned from there little outing and it was getting late.

Sango had just finished with breakfast and was especially worried that Inuyasha hadn't come with Kagome yet. He was never one to miss a meal.

Miroku on the other hand hadn't said a word all morning seeming to be lost in thought. This made Sango even more edgy. Wishing to discuss what to do next, she tried to casually bring up the missing duo, but her voice betrayed her and it came out in an anxious, troubled tone.

" Weird they never came back last night. They've come in late before but never this late. Do you think something could have happened?"

" Well maybe they needed a little more privacy than usual." Miroku's voice was its usual even and smooth tone, hinting no sign of the eagerness.

" I highly doubt it Monk! But you really aren't worried about them?"

" I'm sure there just fine you know Kagome and -" He stopped short by the sight of a familiar girl running over the hill with arms waving and yelling frantically.

"Hey Miroku, it's the little girl from yesterday."

Seeing the panic on the girls face as she came closer Miroku and Sango got up and started to meet her. The little girl didn't even bother to stop but slammed right into them. She then latched onto there clothes and started pulling them forward while yelling at a rather fast pace.

" Please hurry! You have to come now before its to late!"

Sango was startled by the shy girls hasty actions. Sango curiously wondered if she was okay and began to question her." What's wrong? Did something happen? Are you-"

But Sango was interjected by the persistent girl struggling to get them to move. "Please, you have to come with me right away! If you don't they might really hurt them! Oh I hope they haven't killed them! They promised they wouldn't!" The girl was frantic now getting behind the pair and pushing them forward. Miroku, who was trying not to fall back on top of the poor thing, abruptly turned around and grabbed the girl by her shoulders.

" Hold on a second calm down please! What are you talking about? Who is going to kill who?"

The girl took a deep breath" Your friends are in danger! you have to come with me to my village right away!"

Miroku and Sango quickly glanced at each other.

" Okay, Shippo and Kilala stay here and guard camp. We'll be back soon. Lets go Miroku."

Kagome's eyelids were extremely heavy and her head was spinning. When she had finally mustered the strength to open her eyes she was met with a blinding pink light.

" Mph………Where am I?" Her vision was blurry and she focused her eyes she saw she was restrained by vines. Kagome peered around at her rather dim surroundings. The walls were made of old stone and parts were covered in moss and vines. The only light seemed to be coming from the soft pink glow of her restraints, and from a small window where someone was standing. The face was hard to make out against the rising sun, but as she peered closer it seemed to be a male, wearing some sort of weird mask. Kagome's eyes widened and she began to ask several questions at once. "Why am I tied up! Who are you! What do you want? How-"

" You ask to many questions human, but we can fix that." The boy never turned to face Kagome while he spoke only snapped his fingers. When he did Kagome felt her throat tighten, and when she tried to struggle it only made it worse.

" That's much better, but you are right were are my manners? Let me welcome you to the town with no name."
