DO NOT ENTER THE FOREST

06 – Terror in Insomnia

.

Sleep was avoiding InuYasha, keeping him awake in the middle of a grim night. On the opposite side, his companions were resting without an issue, there, under the roof the villagers had provided them with. He looked at Kagome, sleeping with her hair spread over the white futon; she seemed comfortable, and that, in a way, comforted him too.

A scream broke the silence, from afar, InuYasha's instincts flaring up. His attention left Kagome, to then set on the opened door, guiding his senses outside just as another shout cut through the forest.

InuYasha!

It was Kagome's voice.

He looked behind him, towards the place where Kagome laid sleeping, and the terror froze the blood in his veins; Kagome wasn't there.
