By Mika-Chan It's five o' clock in the morning and Mika was getting hungry. She looked around for a target, but unfortunately, there was really no one out since they were preparing for Halloween, which was that night. She spotted a girl of about the age of 15 and was wearing a cheerleader's outfit. ::Hmm... What's this?:: Mika ran at the unsuspecting girl, gripping her shoulders and tilting her head to get to her neck. There was an exasperating scream from the girl as she sunk her teeth into her target's throat. Lights in surrounding houses turned on in response to the scream. Mika dropped the now dead girl to the ground, running down the streets. A girl with black hair about waist length, began shooting arrows at her. They seemed to be enchanted arrows at that. "Stop hunting my friends, you leech!" Another arrow flew and hit its target. A shrill scream was heard and Mika was lying on the ground, blood puddling around her. The girl ran over to Mika, covering her mouth in shock. "Hn... K- Kagome...? W-What's goin' on?" Inu-yasha walked out of the house and onto the street following her. His eyes widened and he held his breath, listening to the sounds around him. He then finally looked down at the girl on the ground that had been the vampire's victim, and then, he saw the vampire. His hand instantly slid to his sword, the Tetsusaiga, by instinct. More blood flew, but this wasn't the vampire or another victim of hers, it was Inu-yasha. He was thrown into a building, claw marks appearing on his face and his clothes shredded. "Inu-yasha!" Kagome shrieked as she was thrown in the same direction as Inu-yasha. Her head hit first, caving in at impact. The neighbors watched in horror as blood flew everywhere. Inu-yasha seemed unconscious, so his attacker walked over to him, picking him up and then walked over to Mika, doing the same thing. Inu-yasha dug his claws into the boy's sides; tears streaming down his cheeks.::K-Kagome... You will pay Demon... You will pay.:: As Inu-yasha thought this, someone entered his mind. ::I know I will dog Boy... But you must listen to my reasoning for this all first. All right?::The voice was of that of the Demon who attacked him. Inu-yasha released his sides, glancing around. "P-PAPA!!! PAPA, PLEASE HELP!" The voice of a young girl rang out through the misty air, causing Inu-yasha to jump at the familiar voice. He seemed to choke as he dashed from his captor and ran down the streets towards the child. "MOKANO! Mokano... are you OK? Please say you are." "P- Papa... You'd have to define 'OK'. I... I just saw mommy... She's- She's... DEAD. Why? How? I don't understand. Why would anyone kill her? Take her from us??" The little girl who seemed to be Kagome and Inu-yasha's child rushed up to her father, letting him embrace her with his warmth. The boy that killed Kagome, set Mika down on a bed, brushing her hair from her face. Inu-yasha slammed the door open, leaves blowing in with the wind. He had his sword drawn, his daughter stood to the right of him, a sword similar to her father's. A voice and thoughts filled their heads, startling Mokano. ::Will you kill us, Inu-yasha? Slay this innocent child here before me and I? Do you have the will power to? ::He looked to Mokano with curiosity. ::You have a young one? If I were to have a young one too and be the only parent, would you kill me?:: Inu-yasha looked puzzled for a moment and then answered. ::No... No, I wouldn't. Why do you ask?:: His eyes flickered with light; his sword went back into its scabbard. ::Because the child before me has five and the ones that sired them are dead. Slaughtered by demons that despised her and her family. Those demons were of her own clan.:: He closed his eyes and sighed. " What is your name?" Inu-yasha spoke, breaking the silence around them. He waited patiently for him to answer, tapping his foot calmly. Mokano burst out in rage and ran at the boy, sword in hand. "I WILL MAKE YOU PAY, DEMON!!!" Her voice was filled with revenge. ::You can kill me if you will, but I don't recommend it, child.:: "My name is Ryo. I am Mika's elder brother. Now if you don't mind... I would suggest that you get your child away from me if you want her to live." Ryo looked at Inu- yasha, showing that he wasn't kidding. "Mokano! Stop! Do you want to look like your mother?" Inu-yasha just stood there, his eyes shimmering with fiery gold. Mokano stopped in her tracks, breaking down in tears. ::No... No! I... I don't want to have that... Happen.... No.:: Three hours later. Mika awakens, it's now 8:00 in the morning and she was yet again, hungry. Students would be going to school in about five minutes or so. She grunted and sat up in the bed. Her wound had healed and she was still tired. There was a yell outside and then the smell of blood appeared. ::Ryo! Ryo, where are you? Are you OK?:: Mika began to panic. The blood was of her brother's, but within seconds, the smell of Inu-yasha's blood was there too. She bolted up, tripping over something. She fell to the ground, then looked over to the object. It was young Mokano. She was dead. Blood stained her body and the floor. "Oh God...It's happening..." Mika froze in place, but strengthened enough to run out the door into the sunlight. She shuddered and hissed in pain, but didn't stop running towards the scents of blood and clang of weapons in the distance. Inu-yasha stood up holding the Tetsusaiga in his mobile hand. He was covered in blood and a chunk of his right ear was gone. His left shoulder was dislocated, his left eye welded shut, and he had been stabbed through the chest numerous times. As for Ryo, He was missing his left arm and was also stabbed numerous times. He ran at Inu-yasha, a cry of anger and pain escaped from his throat. His blade met its target, but so did Inu-yasha's. Inu-yasha was stabbed through the chest and Ryo was impaled in the side, blood flowing freely from them both. Mika arrived gasping for air as the sun burned away at her body. Blood slowly began to flow down her limbs, puddling around her. "NO!" The yell was dry and stiff, but it was affective. Ryo looked over at Mika, his body falling limp, the Tetsusaiga pushing further into his side. Inu-yasha pulled away, his sword sliding out of Ryo and Ryo's out of him. "I'm sorry Mika-Chan... But we must finish what we started, child. You know that." Ryo's voice showed no emotion, but hate and anger. Inu-yasha glanced at Mika, throwing his sword, and hitting her through the chest cavity. Ryo sort of choked in shock, but ran at Inu-yasha, driving his weapon through him. Inu-yasha countered with a blow to Ryo's gut, his fist going all the way through him. His eyes closed as he fell to the ground, his hand sliding out of Ryo. Ryo took the sword out of Inu-yasha and collapsed onto it. The sword inserted into his heart, and pushed through his back. Though this happened, he wasn't dead. Mika walked over to him, the sword still through her, and snapped her brother's neck. People began arriving at the battle site, and they all had steaks. One of them grabbed Mika, dragging her over to the group, and hanging her on a wooden post surrounded by dried grass. They took a torch, lighting it on fire and burning her. ::Good bye...::
