And if you have any scary things happened to you let me know…you might just see it in the story.

Disclaimer: I have no relation with the Inuyasha characters at all…but I can dream. -

Kagome sat in front of the window in the living room; she had on headphones and was listening to music. It was the morning after the incident and Kagome had yet to tell them what happened. Inuyasha had gone downstairs and relayed everything he knew to Ayame and Koga once he had stayed up all night till he was normal. They were shocked needless to say and Koga looked like he was about to faint. He almost fought Inuyasha to wake Kagome up to see if she was ok. Ayame held him back and Inuyasha crashed on the couch and fell asleep. When he woke up Kagome was were she was now listening to music. Inuyasha walked over to her and waved a hand in front of her face startling her.

"Are you ok?" He asked. Kagome blinked at him the looked back out of the window and nodded. Inuyasha sighed and walked into the kitchen. On the counter was a note:

Dear Inuyasha and Kagome,

I'm taking Koga to see Sango, Shippo, and Miroku for a while since he's really riled up. Don't kill each other or do anything inappropriate. winks

Teacup

Aka: Ayame

Inuyasha blinked and shook his head throwing the note into the trash. Inappropriate…with her! Yuck!

Kagome sat next to the window and thought about all that happened last night. Seeing Inuyasha like that was kinda scary. He always held himself as a strong person and yet last night she saw fear in his eyes. It scared her more than anything. Wait… didn't he say that he would always protect me? Kagome smiled at the thought. Usually I protect someone…it's nice that someone will protect me. Kagome drew her knees to her chest and rested her head against them still facing outside. She felt like singing to one really pretty song that described her feelings exactly. She reached down to her CD player and turned it to 'My Immortal' by Evanescence. She moved her head set so she can still hear the music and hear her voice. What she didn't notice was that Inuyasha was standing in the doorway listening.

"I'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all my childish fears
and if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase

Kagome's eyes started to water while she thought of her little brother. She would always sing this to him when he was scared. He always had nightmares after watching a scary movie and would go to her for comfort. Kagome smiled and figured that she was the one who needs it most now.

"When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
but you still have
all of me

Inuyasha listened to the words and watched her eyes glass over with deep thought. His ears could hear the real music and the real singer and noted how Kagome's voice pitched along the same lines as the singers…maybe better but he would never admit it. Inuyasha figured that she would be hungry after last night so he had cooked his favorite food, Raman. But he'll wait till her moment was over.

"You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

Kagome closed her eyes and really got into the song.

"When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
but you still have
all of me

Inuyasha closed his eyes and listened just to her voice. It sounded so alone…so scared…why did he cared…oh yea…that fear in her eyes while she was being captured…that really scared me…I'll never forget that…

Thoughts of last night flashed threw his head. Kagome is the only real person besides the guys that know my secret. I've got to make sure no one else knows.

"I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
but though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

A tear slid down her cheek. How long has it been since she had cried…just cried? Now that she thought of it…since 5th grade. How good it felt to just let go of all that for just a few moments.

"When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me"

As the song finished the song Kagome opened her eyes to see a cretin white haired dude in the doorway. Kagome eeped and blushed ten shades of red. She didn't know that anyone was listening. Her mom had always said that when she sang without the music so that everyone knew what she was singing she sounded bad.

"Were-were you listening to me?" She asked.

"Feh." Was his replied and handed her a bowl of Ramen. Kagome blinked a few times.

"Eat. We don't want to send you to the hospital just because you didn't want to eat. How do you think that will make us look?" Kagome growled at him as he flopped onto the couch and ate. After a few moments of slurping and intense silence Kagome tried to make some conversation.

"So...where's everyone at?" Inuyasha finished up and burped before replying.

"Ayame took Koga to see if Sango's better. Seems Koga was worried about you." Kagome blushed a little at that. She did notice that Koga had been a little to nice to her all of a sudden."

Inuyasha glared at her. "What?" She asked. Inuyasha shook his head and turned to her.

"Promise me something." Kagome blinked.

"Ok, what?"

"About me turning human…you didn't see anything and you won't tell anyone, got it?" Kagome slumped in her seat and huffed.

"And I was so looking forward to seeing it on the Planets Funniest Home Movies." Inuyasha growled.

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding. My lips are sealed." Kagome pretended to zip up her mouth and crossed her arms. Inuyasha nodded and grabbed the remote and turned on the T.V. ending the conversation.

Ayame and Koga walked towards Keade. Koga was fuming at whatever Inuyasha had done. Ayame sighed, (Wonder how Sango's doing?) as the ascended the steps they heard commotion and a yell. They both glanced at each other, fear on their faces. They both ran with amazing speed up the stairs to be met with a really funny sight.

Sango had Miroku in a head lock and was wrestling him to the ground. Miroku's face was really blue and Shippo was too scared of her to help him out. Keade was no were in sight. Koga was the first to laugh followed by Ayame. Miroku spotted them and made motion for them to help. Ayame staggered forward still laughing and tried to help him out.

"Sango…gasp…let Miroku go…giggle…now…" She then burst into more laughter. Miroku tried to glare at her if Sango hadn't pulled on his neck.

"No way! He at the last pickle! Jimmy wanted it!" Everyone sweat dropped.

"Miroku…?" Koga asked.

"There was no pickle!" Shippo said. "Help him please; he's going to die soon." Koga sighed and pushed Ayame's laughing body over to the side.

"Ok, ok…Sango!" Sango looked up at him. Koga held out an imaginary object and waved it in front of her.

"Go get the nice pickle…ok?" He then pretends to throw the 'pickle' away from Miroku. Sango shot up and ran to get the 'pickle'.

"Hang on Jimmy! I'll get that pickle!" She fell to her knees and started to search for it. Miroku got up and rubbed his neck that was really red.

"Thanks ya'll, she has one grip." Ayame breathed deeply controlling her laughter.

"No big…but that was REALLY funny." Koga smiled at the memory.

"Ha, Ha…so funny."

"So what's been going on?" Shippo jumped onto Miroku's shoulder to tell them.

"Since Sango had the cold or flu or whatever…Keade gave her a medicine that made her loopy. She's been like this ever since. Really scary." Miroku shook his head.

"She told 15 story's about really random things, talked to Jimmy her Leprecon about whatever, pulled Shippo's tail thinking it was candy, went to look for a hippo, tried to fly, and tackled me putting me in a headlock." Miroku sighed. "It's been a really long night."

"All night! Are you still alive?" Ayame asked amazed. Miroku yawned giving her the answer.

"Miroku! Give Jimmy the pickle!" Miroku was thrown to the ground and put into a full nelson but Sango.

"Good luck Miroku." Koga yelled out as Ayame, Koga and, Shippo walk off.

"Guys…help!"

"Give it back!"

"Looks like a storm is coming, Inuyasha." Kagome called out from her place at the window. Inuyasha grunted not really listening. Kagome sighed and continued to stare out of the window. Lighting flashed and illuminated the room scaring Kagome. The power blinked out and plunged them into darkness.

"Eep! Inuyasha?"

"Damn! And they were wining too!" Kagome glared at Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha! You're really stupid." Kagome sighed and ignored the glare she was receiving. "Were your flashlights?" Inuyasha gave her a funny look.

"Why don't you just produce light?" Inuyasha demonstrated by producing a red light to see a pale Kagome walk around looking for a flashlight. Kagome shook her head.

"I can't. I already tried." Kagome sat down on the ground and tried to produce light again. Nothing.

"What the? Why can't you?" He asked with a snort. Kagome glared at him.

"I can't! I probable used it all last night." Kagome saw him glare and glared right back.

Boom!

"Ah! I hate thunder, I hate thunder, I hater thunder!" Ayame screamed and huddled against Koga. Koga stared at her like she was crazy.

"Looks like ye will not be returning for some time." Keade said. "How's Sango? And Miroku? Were did they go?" Suddenly a very wet Sango and Miroku walked in soaking the floor.

"I'm alive! Thank god!" Miroku gasped out. Sango giggled and walked to the other side of the room and picked up a sleeping Shippo and placed him on her lap.

"Has the medicine worn off yet?" Keade asked. Miroku shook his head.

"I promised her to give Jimmy a pickle later."

"And you better or else!" Sango called out. Ayame shrieked as another lighting bolt went off. Sango looked at her and crawled over to her.

"Are you ok?" Ayame shook her head.

"I hate thunder with a burning passion!" She shouted. Miroku sighed and stood up.

"Come on Sango…lets go get some candles from the back." Sango nodded and ran over to him leaving Shippo asleep in Ayame's arms, Koga bored, and Keade falling asleep.

"Inuyasha?"

"Hm?"

Kagome looked around at the dark room. Inuyasha had turned off his light so he could conserve energy. The tingling sensation on the back of her neck was getting to her.

"This is really starting to creep me out…" She couldn't see him but knew that he agreed. Suddenly the wind picked up and blew open the door causing paper and such to fly around. Inuyasha shot up and closed the door as fast as he could. As the paper settled one landed on Kagome's lap. Looking down it looked like a music sheet. Notes were scribbled onto a scale. Inuyasha looked over her shoulder at the paper.

"What do you have their?" He asked.

"It's a music sheet." Inuyasha gave her a look.

"I know that. What's on it?"

"Notes. Funny…" Kagome studied the music. "These notes were hand written on a copied scale. Do any of you write the music?" Inuyasha shook his head.

"No, we just come up with the lyrics. Myoga and To-to si find the right tune to go with it." Kagome snorted.

"Can you read music?" Inuyasha blinked.

"Nope."

"Do you know the cords?"

"Nope."

"Do you know anything?"

"No-Hey! Fine smart one tell me what the notes are." Inuyasha sat next to her ready to learn.

"Well I only know how to play this on a sax but the notes are the same. E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, and F. My teacher told me that if you take just the lines you can make a saying like: Every Good Boy Does Fine, then take the spaces and they spell: Face. Got it?" Inuyasha blinked. Then blinked again.

"Ok good. But this is just odd. Normally you have bars and a time signature to tell were a measure is and how many notes there are in a measure. Some of the measures have 8 notes and then the next has 6 yet the time signature never changes."

"Huh?" Kagome sighed.

"And you call your self a singer when you can't even read notes? A time signature is a fraction looking thingy that says how many beats per measures." Kagome looked at him and saw that he was totally confused. Kagome searched for a pencil in the mess and wrote a 4 over a 4.

"This is one of the time signatures. It means that there are 4 beats per measure. There are also like 2 beats per measure and you can even have a mixed number like 5 over 4. but that's harder to play."

"Ok whatever get to the point." Inuyasha huffed.

"I did. This isn't just music. It's a note."

"Have you found any candles yet?" Miroku called out.

"Nope! And neither has Jimmy." Miroku sighed. How he hated Jimmy…if he ever heard that name again it would be far too soon.

Sango walked over towards Miroku and sat down on the floor. Miroku followed with a heavy sigh. Sango leaned her head on his shoulder. Miroku blushed.

"Sango?"

"Hm?"

"Why are you leaning on me?" She shrugged.

"Cause I like you." Miroku blushed even more.

"R-really?" Sango nodded then looked at him.

"Really." She leaned in closer eyes half closed. Miroku smiled and leaned in too heart beating with excitement. Expecting her lips to meet his he opened one of his eyes to see her…fast asleep! Drool was coming out of her lips and a soft snore was coming out. Miroku growled and tried to pick her up. Unfortunately Sango was heavier than he thought and had to drag her instead.

Ayame was still cowering ever time lighting flashed but when she saw Miroku dragging Sango she forgot about her fears and ran over to him.

"What the hell did you do!" She screamed at him. Miroku blinked at her.

"Nothing, she just-"

"Nothing but butt! I bet you were going to abuse this privilege and take advantage on her! How dare you!" Ayame snatched Sango from Miroku's grasp and glared at him. "I hate you." Once Miroku got his bearings he met her glare.

"Why would you think I would do that to Sango?"

"Call it an instinct."

"Call it stupidity." Koga knew were this was going. He looked over at Keade and saw that she was fast asleep. Koga wasn't tired so he watched the small fight take place with annoyance.

Else Were

"What does the note say?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome started to write the letters on top of the notes. There were 8 bars and 38 notes. After a few moments Kagome had deciphered the code.

"It says:

Dead Face,

Bed Ace,

Gag dad,

Fad bad,

Feed beef,

Caged cad,

Dad dead,

Fad bad."

Inuyasha scratched his head. "Weird." Kagome nodded. "So what's a cad?"

"A cad is a guy who abuses women."

"I wonder what it would sound like with the notes played." Inuyasha shrugged.

"Try it. Do you have an instrument?"

"Yes, I brought my sax! But it's upstairs…in my room…in the dark…in the closet…in the dark…" Kagome gulped. "Will you go with me?" She whispered.

"Keh, duh. You think I'd let a weakling like you get attacked again?"

"Oh…thanks…." Kagome and Inuyasha got up and walked towards the steps. The stairs looked forbidding. About half way up it gradually got darker till at the top it was pitch black. Kagome made an attempt to start climbing when Inuyasha held her back.

"I hear something." Kagome paled a little.

"Like what?" Inuyasha sniffed the air and then produced a light.

"Follow me." He then silently made his way up the stairs. Kagome grabbed onto his arm so she wouldn't loose him as they walked up. Coming into the hallway whatever the light didn't touch turned to sudden black. All of a sudden the lights flickered on. Inuyasha and Kagome breathed a sigh of relief. Kagome let go of Inuyasha's arm and made her way into her now lit room, Inuyasha behind. Inuyasha sat on her bed and watched Kagome rumble around the room trying to find her instrument. The thunder storm picked up it's pace and sent a loud clap of thunder causing Kagome to jump. Inuyasha snickered at her reaction. Finding her sax she made her way to were Inuyasha was.

"How do you put a sax together?"

"Well…there are 6 parts to it. First is the body, that's were most of the sound comes from, at the top of the body is where you put the neck where the octave key is. You put the mouth piece on the neck. Then you have a reed that you have to suck on to get wet then place it on the mouth piece and attach it with a ligature, a leather thing that you can tighten, and last you put on the neck strap." While telling it, Kagome was going threw the motions. Half way threw Inuyasha tuned out to what she was saying.

After Kagome was finished putting together her sax she played a note and told Inuyasha that it was a C sharp.

"So let's play this thing." Inuyasha said irritated. Kagome started to play the notes on the paper in order. Were a measure broke off Kagome would stop for a breath. After she was finished and let the last note ring out Inuyasha commented on it.

"Wow that was eerie and warped. Pulse it was sad."

"Yeah…" Kagome put down her sax and rested against the wall. They sat their in silence for a while not really sure what to say. The wind picked up and howled with defiance as the lights flickered. Kagome stared at the lights, Inuyasha as well. Please don't let them go off! Kagome screamed in her head. The lights flickered again more violently then the last. Silently they both agreed that staying in a room recently been a ghost battle zone was a bad idea. They both walked fast toward the door and into the hallway. No way were they going to see a ghost again! As they got out into the hall way the window in Kagome's room shattered sending thousands of tiny glass shards towards them. Kagome panicked and stood rooted to the spot. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome by the waist and jumped out of the line of fire. Landing about a foot away Inuyasha and Kagome turned to find the glass shards deeply embedded into the wall were they just were, Kagome sighed and smiled at Inuyasha.

"Thank you."

"Keh, whatever wretch." Kagome growled.

"I was only thanking you! And there you go calling me a tool again!"

"Wretch! Not wrench smart one!"

"Well excuse me! You still do not need to call me that!"

"I don't need you telling me what to do!"

"Oh yea I-"

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh…………." Kagome jumped out of her skin. Inuyasha could hear the stair floors creak. They both turned towards the stairs behind them. Lights flickered above them violently.

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh……………….." The sound got louder as a rotting hand found its way to the top of the stairs followed but a head cover in thin black hair. (A/N: If anyone has seen the grudge this is like the last part of the movie where the lady was crawling down the stairs with that really creepy sound all jerky like…) The hair covered her face to where only an eye was shown. Her eye was pure white with black pupils, and was wide staring at them.

Kagome stifled a screamed and shook violently. It's just like the Grudge! Kagome thought. The lady person finally made her way to the top of the stairs and stared at them hunched on all fours, jerkily the lady made her way to the two of them.

"EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH………………" The smell of rotting flesh over powered Inuyasha's sensitive nose. Inuyasha teetered and collapsed on the floor. Kagome gasped as Inuyasha fell on top of her sending her to the floor as well.

"Inuyasha! Get off of me! This no tine to faint on me now!" Kagome pushed Inuyasha off of her and saw that the lady was closer. Even her human nose could smell the stench of her rotting flesh.

"EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…!" Kagome grabbed Inuyasha by the arm and pulled him into what she think was the bathroom. Opening the door she was about to crawl in when she notice that a head was staring back at her. The eyes burned into hers as she quickly slammed the door.

"Great, Inuyasha, no escape." She told the unconscious boy. "I wish I could do something but all my powers are gone…we really need help…" Kagome watched as the lady steadily crawled closer to them. Blood lust filled her eyes as she grabbed onto Inuyasha's leg pulling both him and Kagome into their doom.
