Chapter two: Presentations
"I'll be late! 'I shouldn't have studied so late, I overslept.' I don't have time for breakfast!" Kagome rushed downstairs to grab her lunch and found the whole family gathering around the TV. "Uh? What's going on?" asked the girl intrigued.
"Remember the thing about the wolves? Another incident happened!" Souta was now on the verge of tears.
"I told you there was nothing to worry…" Kagome repeated herself calmly but she was soon interrupted.
"Anyway it's been suggested that people should not wander alone in the night so get home as soon as you can." Her mother said firmly while handing her a box with her lunch.
'So weird wondered what happened this time? Could it really be possible for youkai to have something to do with it?' Kagome wondered many things on her way to school but forcefully pushed them away to focus on today's test.
Luckly she got on time, the class was not started yet.
"Kagome! Kagome!" one of her friends called "Glad you could come today too!"
"I'm feeling a lot better now and besides we have an important test. I couldn't afford to get sick or something…" she trailed away thinking of her own adventures in Feudal Era.
"Did you know what happened?" asked the girl sadly, this made Kagome wonder even more about the so called incident. "Last night a couple was murdered their bodies found somewhere in the subway, they died same way those kids died in the forest, I know its weird… don't you think so?"!
"Well I told my brother not to worry, probably those animals are just acting upon desperation for having their home devastated." She stated once again her scientific theory which didn't convince her friend.
"That would be true if they remained in he forest, but it seems like those animals are heading this way. And considering the distance and time, it would be almost impossible for any normal animal! I bet this is something huge!" her friend was now making her nervous.
"Yuki? What are you trying to say? 'Maybe Souta was right! Maybe they ARE youkai' You sound so crazy…" Kagome laughed more nervously than ever.
"I bet it's some short of publicity trick, you know from those Pro-life organizations and animal activists. I bet this is all just a trick to pull into people's minds the sever problem of deforestation." Yuki was now enthusiastic about her theory. 'I should go back and ask Inuyasha to come here, even if that means that if I'm wrong he'll try to take me back to find more shards.' Kagome just sighed relieved that her friend went on to a different chain of thoughts.

"We're close… so we can rest, save your energy for the night." the authoritarian female voice announced. Several blue eyes focused on her extremely alert state. Among the shadows the pink haired girl approached shyly trying to make a conversation of some short, she knew the leader wouldn't reject her like the others did.
"What are we hunting this time Older Sister?" her innocent voice reflected nothing but pure curiosity. Still the constant stares of the others only directed her anger.
"Somethin' that was believed to exist only in old tales and that happens to be so real just like us. If it is what I believe, soon our kind will be the one to rule over all." Mira turned away knowing there was nothing more to talk about, their leader made a choice and they had to follow. She sat on the dark cold edge of a forgotten storage room and closed her blue eyes.
"Why do you keep dragging her along Older Sister? She is not ready to be neither one of us, nor a human or wolf. And what about this suddenly search? You have not told us what it is about? The others are making too many questions that I can not answer." A deep male voice questioned their leader.
"Because… we never leave our own, even with one drop or our blood they're our own." Finally coming into the light the charming figure decided to humor him with more answers. "This thing I'm looking for is from an old rumor, a piece of a jewel that can grant the one who holds it anything, being imagination the only limit." Her smile was turning greedier by the second.

That night Kagome decided to sneak out of her room, and jumped inside the well expecting to meet with Inuyasha as soon as possible. "This can't wait any longer. 'All the previous incidents happened during the night, I can't risk it' I have a feeling this will get worse if I don't get help. " After climbing her way to the feudal era Kagome rushed to meet her friends. 'Why do I feel like this?' Her heart was beating unusually fast.
Sooner than expected she found Shippou the young fox instinctively jumped over her. "Kagome! You're back!" He held tightly to her neck grinning.
"I'm looking for Inuyasha, have you seen him?" she smiled sweetly at the child.
" Is something not right?" The concern in her voice made the young fox wonder.
"Don't worry I don't even know what it is… I just…" before she could finish the one she was looking for appeared.
"I thought you wanted to stay longer, why're you back so soon?" the silver haired hanyou sounded quite demanding.
For some reason the scene playing on the TV came to her mind, the screams and cries. The images in the newspaper of the victims found in the subway also flashed into her view. 'Yuki said it was weird for the incidents to be so close in time and far in distance and Souta said something about the forest. At first I didn't believe it but now, I'm just not so sure.' The hanyou waved his clawed hand infront of her.
"Wha?" she blinked while her thoughts went back into the deepest of her mind.
"Kagome?" the young fox demon was openly staring at her now.
"Inuyasha, I want you to come with me. There is something I think you should see…" This last sentence came out better than she had originally intended to.
"Hn" the hanyou advanced towards the well "Let's go, the sooner we leave, the sooner you'll be back to search for shards and for Naraku."

"God no!" a girl violently slammed against a wall, she couldn't run anymore and her lungs failed poorly to provide air. Unable to scream or hide she did the only thing left and cried. "Please!" Her begging wasn't enough to convince the creatures waiting in the dark. If she had known better, she would be home, the news said not to go out at night but she laughed considering it a myth. Without a warning one of the creatures stepped closer.
"I don't want to die…" her sentence was left unfinished as a huge black wolf pierced large white fangs into her soft neck. Almost instantly the creature allowed the limp body to fall. Some other wolves approached shyly; first they licked the blood from the ground advancing gradually to reach the flesh.
"You've been absent lately…" Mira commented on their leader.
The large wolf turned to her licking the blood stained fangs back to white. "We must be fast, eat all you can and prepare to move." The young girl nodded and turned away.

"Wolves?" Inuyasha's tone was a mixture of displease and doubt. His first thought included Kouga and his comrades which unconsciously caused him to growl.
"Yes, wolves! I saw them… with big blue eyes. They … I'm not sure if they're youkai or not but the whole thing is mysterious we should check it out!" Kagome was practically begging now. But the hanyou was unconvinced this matter was urgent. "Al right Kagome, let's see what we can do about it." He rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Kagome smiled warmly only for a few seconds before noticing she had no clue of this animal's whereabouts or location. Even with the report on the newspaper the city was huge and it would take even more days to find them.
"You have no clue, right?" Inuyasha questioned with a tone of disappointment.
"I don't…" Kagome turned to the TV in the living room, maybe chance or a hunch or some other unknown reason made her turn the device on. It was another report of a brutally slaughtered person. "Told you! It keeps on happening every night…" this time the attack had been closer a few miles away.
"Disgusting wolves…" Inuyasha uttered under his breath
----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
The larger of the wolves suddenly stopped their silent advance among the streets. Simultaneously the other wolves stopped as well. "What is it Older Sister?" the girl still human in appearance walked towards her, the worry clearly displayed on her tone.
"It's moving closer to us… and not alone…" The large wolf howled for the first time, not minding if any human could hear its call. 'Along with the immense power I can feel something else, a creature like Mira half human half demon, what does this means?' The news had provided them with privacy for most people were scared to go out at night.
"Mira go back with the others and hide, I'll meet whatever comes first…" Somehow all the wolves remained hidden within the streets, buildings and cars, they wouldn't exploit their luck just yet. The deserted streets would be the perfect place for this hunt.
Inuyasha landed softly on the street, Kagome climbed off his back almost instantly. She stared in shock at their deserted sight. 'So lonely, its amazing for such a large city to be so quiet.'
"I can smell them Kagome… all around us…" The hanyou tightened the hold on his sword prepared to attack if he had to.
"Are they? Youkai?" she held tightly to Inuyasha's back, all she could do right now was to stay away from harm. After all her bow was left behind, thinking it wouldn't be necessary.
"So you've come… the one carrying the fragments of the legendary jewel that we believed long lost and forgotten." The large black wolf finally appeared infront of them. It was a few inches smaller than Kirara and the fur was purely black like the coal. The same demoniac aura pulsed vividly around it as the distance between them diminished. The bright blue eyes fixed over Kagome all the time.
"That thing, I've never seen a wolf demon like that before." Kagome pointed at the creature's head where a pair of horns adorned forehead like a crown.
"I'm Nashira… leader of the black nightmare wolves." stated the creature calmly while a proud smile allowed a glimpse of sharp white fangs.
