Chapter 8/ Naraku?

A/N: Hay ya'll I still want a lot of scary ideas from ya'll! And as a disclaimer clears throat I don't own Inuyasha. looks around at the glares Yeeaa well then, on with the story!

Koga had arriver just in time to see a bunch of dirty and angry people climb up from the basement.

"It's not my fault!" Kagome yelled at Inuyasha. She was the first come out, followed by an equally mad Sango, a tired Miroku, and a yelling Inuyasha. Before Inuyasha had come completely out Kagome swung the door and hit him square in the face.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!!!?" Inuyasha yelled.

"Because, you deserve it!" Kagome grabbed Sango's hand and they both trailed up to their rooms. Koga looked over at the swearing hanyo.

"What did you do know dog breath?" Inuyasha glared at Koga for all he was worth, then got up and went to his room leaving Miroku to tell Koga what had happened.

No way was she getting the last word! Inuyasha thought. He went into his room and slammed his door. A few flakes fell from the ceiling. Inuyasha then fell onto his bed to devise a plane to get back at Kagome. Before he could come up with anything he fell asleep.

In the next room Kagome was writing in her diary with Sango typing on the computer in her room (Yes, they have a computer in all the rooms). Sango was looking things up from the internet about Kikyo upon Kagome's request.

"Says here that her friend's had seen her the night she was attacked."

"Wonder if they know anything?"

"Don't know, but I found that a few other people died that night as well." Kagome got up to go look at what she was looking at. About a dozen or so people's picture was shone on the screen.

"Hey…I saw him…print out that sheet." Sango did so and continued to look around on the computer. Kagome pointed to one picture near the bottom of the page.

"I saw him." She stated.

"How?"

"He was one of the dead people down stairs. I kinda made him fall to the ground…"

"Ewwwwww…" Sango commented. "So why do you want to find out about them?"

"Well, I figure that if they keep bugging us that we should find out why." Sango nodded. "But I'm wondering if we should call the police of the C.S.I. or something…" Sango shook her head.

"No way! Not yet anyways. They would think that were crazy, think about it 'Ya, I just called to inform you that there is about a dozen of more dead people in our basement, so if you could just, ya know, get them out of here that would be great, bye.' Like they would buy that." Kagome gave her a withered look.

"Fine, so what are we going to do about it? We have about a dozen people down their rotting! That's just not sanitary! Pulse the fact that one is going to come at us!" Kagome fell onto her bed and groaned. Kagome looked around her room. Her bed was in the corner of a big white room. Next to the bed was a night stand were an alarm clock sat. Next to the stand were her suit cases, it was open and was messy with clothes being shuffled threw. A door that led to the bathroom also led to Sango's room. Next to that was the computer where Sango was sitting at, still looking over the internet. A stereo was set up next to that then there was the door leading out into the hallway. For a pop star his guest rooms were lacking in creativity. You think that there would be at least a refrigerator or a map of the place…oh wait there it is.

"Sango I'm going to go take my bath." Not waiting on a reply Kagome grabbed her PJ's and trotted into the bathroom. Locking both doors just incase a pervert was going to burst in; she undressed and started the water. Kagome hated bathrooms. Crazy as it seems she would get paranoid, kinda like claustrophobia or something. And since showers are faster to most, she liked taking showers.

Once the water was warm enough, Kagome got in. Letting the water mound on her body Kagome thought about what keeps happening…not a good idea. She started to shiver at the look the woman gave her before she sent us away. Shaking her head to get rid of the image she turned her thoughts to Inuyasha.

"Stupid Inuyasha…" Kagome whispered. She silently vowed never to talk to him ever again.

CLANK

Kagome jumped at the new sound. Looking around the shower curtain she saw nothing. Thinking that maybe Sango fell or something Kagome went back to bathing, just quicker then normal.

SQUEAK

Now THAT wasn't Sango! Kagome quickly got the shampoo out of her hair and turned off the water forgetting about the conditioner. Cautiously she peaked around the curtain once again. Her eyes went wide at what she saw. There on the counter was Kikyo; a smirk was on her lips as she slowly disappeared. Kagome looked at the fogged up mirror and saw what had been written.

'Your DEAD little miko! I WILL come back to kill you!'

Not wasting time, Kagome grabbed a towel, not wanting to be in their anymore, and raced from the bathroom not caring to pick up her cloths. Not even want to see the bathroom door Kagome ran into the hallway. She fell against the wall trembling at the sight she saw. She heard someone come out of a room but didn't care. She didn't even care when that person went next door to find help for her. All she was thinking was how could she run away from a ghost?

Inuyasha woke up when he heard knocking at the door. Grumbling he got up and went to got yell at the poor soul who woke him up. Opening the door with more force than needed he stared down at the pale Sango. Taking a deep breath Inuyasha caught a smell that was scaring him: fear.

"Sango, what is it?" All she could do was motion for him to follow her. Their outside in the hall way was Kagome huddled in the corner. Her hair was wet and stringy; she had on a towel and was still dripping wet. Her eyes were wide and blank. Blushing on the lack of clothing on her he turned to Sango.

"What's the matter with her?" He asked.

"I don't know. She bolted from the bathroom after her bath and ran out here. I can't get a word out of her." Sango said. Her eyes looked over at her friend with concern.

"So what do you want me to do about it?" Sango looked at him with a glare at his casualty.

"I want you to help me try to talk to her!" With that Sango knelt down in front of Kagome.

"Kag…what happened?" She asked. Kagome looked at her with those wide hazel eyes.

"Kikyo…" She said and pointed to the bathroom. Inuyasha went to go see and was shocked at what was still wrote on the mirror. Shaking his head he picked up her clothes and tossed them onto her bed. Stepping back out their Sango was helping Kagome up without letting the towel fall.

"What was in the bathroom?" Sango asked. Inuyasha motioned for her to follow, she let Kagome standing their. Inuyasha looked over at Kagome. She seemed to be in deep thought, very deep thought. He was trying to not let him eyes wonder like a certain monk would. Hearing a sharp intake in breath he guessed that Sango saw it. Kagome heard it too and came out of her thoughts at her friends cry.

"Sango? You ok?" She asked. Sango stumbled out of the bathroom and sat on the bed.

"That's just scary." Was all she said. Laughing a little Kagome looked over at Inuyasha.

"What are you doing here?"

"I've been here!" He said with a blush.

"Ok then, what's wrong?" Sighing Inuyasha turned to leave but stopped at the door and glanced behind for one last look. Smirking at her he pointed before commenting.

"Get some clothes on." Kagome blushed ten shades of red before pushing him out of the door and locked it.

"You Pervert!" She yelled at him, and got a loud laugh in response. Sticking a tongue at him even though he couldn't see, Kagome got dressed in her PJ's.

Ayame woke up in an odd room. It was a little hut with mats on the floor. A straw mat was covering the door. It looked like she was back in ancient Japan or something. As she looked around the room some more the 'door' opened and an old lady stood their. She had an eye patch and gray hair tied in the back. She was hunched over like an old lady would. She was dressed in a miko outfit.

"Ah, I see that ye are up. How are ye feeling?" She asked.

"I-I'm fine…how did-"

"Do not worry child, the ones who saved you will be arriving soon to check up on ye." She answered. As she said this yells could be heard out in the shrine. It sounded like a girl and a boy, and in volume the boy was winning…nope she just broke his recorded and a few ear drums.

"I CAN'T BELIVE THAT YOU WOULD TELL HIM!!!!" She shouted. The old lady shook her head and motioned for her to follow. Stepping outside she saw that she was in a beautiful shrine…if only the yelling would stop.

"I SAID THAT IT JUST SLIPPED OUT-OUCH!!! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!?!"

"Because you are being stupid!" Looking over she saw a group of five teens. One was a boy with silver hair and golden eyes. He was wearing baggy pants and a red shirt. On top of his head sat two little dog ears. He was growling at a girl with raven hair and hazel eyes. Her hair was tied in a high pony tail and she was wearing a green shirt that read 'no sanity required' in white. She was wearing blue jeans and converses. She was glaring at the boy while being held back by another girl. Her raven hair was tied in a loose pony tail. She also wore blue jeans and converses but her shirt was reed and read '5 out of 4 people have problems with fractions.' in white. Holding back the boy were two others. One had his black hair tied in a high pony tail as well. He also wore a brown head band and a brown shirt. He was wearing cargo pants as well. His tail was sticking out of the back and his ears were pointed just like hers. But what really got her was his eyes, pure electric blue. Very cute. The other boy was…odd. He had his short black hair tied in a pony tail in the back at the base of the neck. He had dark blue eyes and wore a blur shirt to match his eyes. He also wore cargo pants. Catching her attention was a red mark on his cheek that looked like a hand…

Noticing her and the old lady the boy in the brown drew the arguing people over to her.

"Morning! How are you feeling?" Asked the boy as he smiled at her. Ayame smiled and blushed a bit at this.

"I'm fine, thank you."

"So what's your name?" Asked girl in the green.

"Ayame. And you?"

"I'm Kagome. And we also have Sango, Miroku, Koga, and a jerk." The boy glared at Kagome who returned it full force. She saw the others shake their head in defeat.

"His name is Inuyasha child." Answered the old lady.

"Thanks old hag, but I could handle it." He then received a whack on the head. Turning he saw and anger Kagome.

"Show some respect!" she said.

"No need child. This happens often. But I have not seen you two before, what brings you here?" The lady said.

"Contest winners, though I'm starting to regret it." She answered "I didn't catch your name though."

"I am Kedae. An old priestess, a miko, and keeper of this old shrine." Kagome shook Kedae's hand.

"Would someone mind telling me why ya'll are here?" Ayame asked.

"Of course my lady." The one named Miroku said. A sudden pressure had been found on her rear and saw that it was attached to him. Before Miroku could even blink, Ayame had rendered him unconscious. Everyone else took a step away from the seen.

"So, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Ayame said cheerfully. Inuyasha grabbed the seemingly dead Miroku and followed the rest into the small hut. Once settled and Miroku was awake Ayame was bombarded with questions.

"So, how did you end up their?"

"What happened?"

"Were you conscious when you fell?"

"What's your favorite color?"

"Are you a demon?"

"What kind of stupid question was that?"

"Well what about the color thing?"

"Everyone else asked my question!"

"Still that was more stupid than mine!"

"Well of course she is a demon! A stupid human couldn't survive that!"

"OH! So you're saying that I'm weak?!"

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean."

"Why you-"

"HEY! Will you two quite it!?" Kagome and Inuyasha looked over at Ayame. They were both standing up about ready to start a full on brawl when Ayame interrupted.

"Both of you just shut up and sit over their!" She pointed into the corner furthest away from the group. As they both retreated into the corner with glares at each other and their snickering companions. Once everyone was seated Ayame started her story.

"Ok, well I had just moved here from Kyoto last week with a job application for Naraku's mansion as a maid. As you see I got the job. Everything was fine at first. I only saw Naraku once or twice but never spoke to him. During the week I got a little suspicious of him. People would come and talk to him and spend the night. Then over the night they would disappear! I wondered why so I followed one of them after the meeting and he had gone to sleep. As I listened inside I hear music, strange sad music. I then heard a scream and ran in to see what happened but no one was their."

"But wouldn't anyone notice if there was a scream?" Kagome asked from the corner. She and Inuyasha were both absorbing what she was saying at the moment that neither were bothered that they were still being 'punished'.

"Well, I thought so too, but I guess not. Anyways, as I was looking for him in the room Naraku walked in. apparently wanting to discuses some last minuet things with him…but when he saw that he was gone he merely shrugged and walked out!" A gasp was heard threw out the hut. How could someone not notice if their guest was missing or not?

"That's when I got curious. I watched as more important people came and disappeared threw out the week, all in the same manner. A song would play and they would disappear."

"A haunted song!" Kagome piped. Everyone stared at her; Kagome blushed slightly at all the stares.

"A what?" Inuyasha asked annoyed by the outburst.

"My grandfather is so superstitious, but…ah well…a haunted song is a song that is possessed. Most songs are possessed by the person who loved the song and died a cruel death, a murder or something like that. Only someone with a lot of power is capable to do that."

"And this in important…how?" Inuyasha asked again. Kagome gave a withered look.

"It means that the reasons that these people are missing is because they listen to the song! But what's troubling is that all most people would see is the ghost itself, not being taken unless a curse was set on it."

"Well thanks Kagome, you just wasted another minute and half of my life."

"Useless life at that, and you are very welcome, it's been my pleasure."

"You're the one with the useless life."

"At least I have a life, unlike someone…"

"Yeah…wait NO!"

"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!" Ayame shouted. Inuyasha and Kagome shrunk back away from her. "Anyways, a while later I think Naraku got annoyed with me and it showed. Then one day he asked me into his office to talk. He asked me all these weird questions like what music do I like to posses if I die. Then I went to talk to one of my friends, Kanna, and she wasn't herself. She was different somehow like she had no soul. I just figured that she had done the bathrooms again and then ate; anyone would feel different after that. Then one of Naraku's assistants came in, named Kagura, and talked to Naraku about something. Coming out she gave me a sneer and walked off. And so that night I found a CD. I put it in and listened to the really sad song; then I turned around and saw a woman in a white dress and no eyes. She beckoned me to come over, I screamed and blacked out. The next thing I know I'm here in an old hut and stuff."

Everyone was silent. Miroku and Sango glanced at each other and surged. Koga looked at Ayame wondering if she was serious, Inuyasha and Kagome stared at Ayame too. Kagome wondered if she remembered were she was found at and wasn't talking about it, and Inuyasha was wondering what to eat for lunch. Kedae had gone out to look for herbs while they talked a while back.

"Wow, and you don't remember how you were found or anything?" Sango asked. Ayame shook her head.

"I wonder if Naraku has anything to do with it." Miroku said.

"Maybe, but we cannot be sure. It may have been dumb luck that it happened." Sango said.

"Well the question is why?" Ayame said. Kagome looked at them all.

"The ghost…what did it look like again?" Kagome asked. Ayame surged.

"I can't really remember. I just know that she had no eyes and a white dress."

"What would trigger it all?" Koga asked.

"Could be thousands of things! No one knows." Ayame said.

"My bet is on Naraku!" Kagome said.

"Same." Voted Sango.

"I say it was Kagura. That sneer was cold." Ayame said.

"I agree with Ayame." Koga said.

"What about Kanna? I Said Kanna did it." Miroku said.

"But that can't be right. Kanna was Ayame's friend. She could have done it plenty of times." Koga said. Ayame nodded and yawned.

"Im tired." Ayame said. Everyone nodded in understanding and went to leave.

"Sleep well Ayame! We will visit you soon!" Kagome called out. Kedae stood beside Ayame waving with herbs in her hands. Ayame watched them leave with a sigh and went to rest.

"Well that was interesting." Sango said.

"Yep, I learned a lot from her. I hope we can be friends soon." Kagome said. Inuyasha snorted at this.

"And what's up with you dude?" Koga asked. Inuyasha shook his head.

"Nothin'." With that Inuyasha walked ahead of everyone else. Everyone shrugged and followed.

GROWL

"What was that?" Sango asked terrified she quickly went behind Kagome for protection.

GROWL

"Is that…Inuyasha is that your stomach?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha turned around holding his stomach.

"So…hungry…"

"Gods! Dog breath you're so pathetic!" Koga snarled. "We just at breakfast!"

"So! I can't help it! Can we stop to get some Ramen?" He asked.

GROWL

"…Soon?" Everyone sweat dropped at this. Kagome shook her head and followed as Inuyasha sprinted into the nearest place were they sold Ramen: The mall.

A/N: Stupid cold! That's it some one is getting a cold in the next chapter! How was everyone's Christmas? I went to my Grandma's house and she didn't have a computer…joy…Hope this one was good! And keep reviewing! What scares you the most? Till then JA!
