Silent Hill
Alessa sat atop the roof of the church as she looked upon the dark world of Silent Hill. A small twisted smile curled at her lips. Her after life was almost perfect. She had an army of grotesque monsters at her disposal, an empty world - save for the monsters - that only she controlled and she had finally exacted her revenge on the survivors of the town that she had trapped their. And now, there were only two things missing. First she had to get rid of her birth mother, Dahlia Gillespie. She was the only one that she didn't get her revenge on, due to the fact that when the she massacred the others her so-called mother was no where to be found. Secondly, she had to convince her new mother to come and stay in Silent Hill...permanently.
*Flash Back*
Alessa had met her new mother about 4 years ago when she had accidentally stumbled into Silent Hill. Alessa had at first thought that she would let a Spitter take care of her. But the more Alessa looked at this girl the more she began to think that this girl might be fun to play with...at least until she got bored of her that is. Alessa then started to think that she would do to this girl the same thing that she had done to Harry. Unfortunately that didn't work out seeing as how the girl could tell that the world of Silent Hill was not for the living. Plus she knew that Alessa was watching her. Alessa began to wonder why this girl wasn't afraid or why she hadn't screamed and  tried to run away the first chance she got. Not that she would have gotten very far anyway...but still. Alessa decided to take a closer look at this girl. She seemed to be a typical school girl. 'Asian' Alessa thought. She didn't look to be any older then eleven. She had semi long raven black hair and large almond shaped eyes the color of hazel nut. She wore a navy blue sweater and a short cream colored skirt. Alessa smiled as an idea came to her. She suddenly appeared before the girl. The girl looked at Alessa and asked "Um...who are you?" Alessa walked up to the girl and smiled at her "My name's Alessa, what's yours?" Alessa asked trying to sound as innocent as possible.
"My name is Kagome Higurashi. Can you tell me what this place is Alessa or maybe how I can get out of it?" Kagome asked looking around. Alessa then gave Kagome one of the most sadistic smiles she could muster. "You already know what this place is. I heard you say so your self. You also said that you knew someone was watching you...right?"  Alessa said not bothering to address Kagome's other question. Kagome was quite shocked at this little girl’s intuition. It was true; she did know that this deserted looking town was a place for the dead. But as that thought finally sunk in Kagome realized that this soot covered little girl must also be dead "Then does that mean that you are dead?" asked Kagome.
"Yes, this is my town of Silent Hill. I control everything here, including who stays and who goes and of course by what means." Alessa stated with a cruel smile.
Kagome had finally got her answer and couldn't believe that she was going to be stuck in this place. Her brain was going a mile a minute thinking of a way out of this place. Yes, she knew that she had a little control over her spiritual powers. But she certainly didn't have enough to disperse the shroud of evil that blanketed this town or match powers with this little girl.
Then Alessa spoke up "Weeelll...I suppose that I could let you go...if you do something for me in return."
Kagome stared at her as she pondered Alessa's proposal a little worriedly. But none the less she decided to accept the offer. "Alright, Alessa what do you want?" Kagome asked her.
The next thing that happened was definitely not what Kagome was expecting as Alessa threw herself at Kagome, hugging her. She giggled in happiness "Yay, I have a new mommy" Alessa shouted.
Kagome was dumb-struck, not really understanding what Alessa was talking about. "Um...Alessa, what do you mean, 'you have a new mommy'?" Kagome asked.
"That's what I want silly. I want you to be my new mommy. My real mommy is a horrible person and the reason why I'm dead." Alessa stated looking close to tears as she remembered the day she died.
Kagome was now curious as to what Alessa was talking about. So she sat down on the curb of the sidewalk and then spoke "What do you mean your mother's the reason you're dead?"
Alessa stood in front of Kagome, her eyes hollow and not really looking at but rather through Kagome and for the next hour told her all the things that had happened that led up to her unfortunate demise. By the time she was done Kagome looked like she was going to cry. 'How could those horrible people be so sick as to do that to a little girl?' Kagome thought as she looked at Alessa and came to a decision. She stood up and walked over to Alessa and pulled the little girl into a hug. "Alright Alessa I'll be your mommy from now on," Kagome stated honestly. "But I'm still going to have to go home to see my family from time to time alright. If that's okay with you?" Kagome finished.
Alessa understood what Kagome was saying and took a step back. "Ok mommy, I understand. But you have to promise to come see me at least once a week, ok?  Because I get very lonely here by myself and I think you'll be great as my new mommy." Alessa said with a big smile on her soot covered face.
Kagome nodded still a bit shocked that she was now technically a mom. 'But what else can I do? This poor girl has been through so much. And she deserves some kind of happiness...right?' Kagome thought to herself and was interrupted by a sweet voice. "Ok mommy the way for you to get home is ready now" said Alessa sweetly.  
As Kagome looked up at the sky and saw a bright light shining on the side walk and Alessa standing next to it. "So this is my way home then" Kagome stated.
"Yup, oh and mommy when you need to come back all you have to do is place your hand on any mirror and think of this place. You'll know it's working when you hear a loud siren blaring in your ears" Alessa said cheerfully "But don't forget your promise mommy," she finished.
"Don't worry sweet heart I won't forget," Kagome said as she walked over and pulled Alessa into a hug and kissed her on the cheek. Then she walked through the portal and she was gone.
*End Flashback*
Alessa came out of her daydream and stood up from her position on the roof of the church. She decided that it was time to go pay Kagome a visit, seeing as how they hadn't seen each other in almost four weeks. And even though the schedule for their meetings had had to change when Kagome was pulled down the well and began to look for the jewel shards, she still missed having her mommy around.  She wanted to get on her way but before Alessa could do anything she felt something suddenly enter body and she doubled over in agony falling to the ground.  The last thing Alessa noticed before her vision went black was a man in a white baboon cape standing above her.
Feudal Era
"OSUWARI" yelled a young woman's voice as a loud slamming sound was heard throughout the forest. "I don't care if you want me to hunt the Jewel Shards for you Inuyasha, I'm going to go see her and so help me if you say one more bad thing about her I will say osuwari" - another slam was heard - "so many times you'll be six feet under before you can say Wind Scare. Do. You. Understand. Me." said Kagome in a deadly voice.
"Kagome, I refuse to let you go to that screwed up world, the jewels are much more important then some little brat who is nothing but an evil little youkai, who's using you" Inuyasha stated fiercely after he had stood up from the small crater underneath him.
"Three, Two, One" Miroku started to count down.
"OSUWARI, OSUWARI, OSUWARI" shouted the enraged girl as she walked over to where Sango stood.
Miroku walked over and knelt down next to Inuyasha's crater. "Inuyasha, meet Dirt. Dirt, meet Inuyasha" he said sarcastically while making the motions with his hands as if he were introducing two people.
"Shut up, Miroku." Inuyasha mumbles. Kagome was just about to ask Sango if she could borrow Kirara to go to the Bone Eaters Well, when suddenly there was a small cyclone in front of her and Sango. When the cyclone finally dispersed there stood a young pretty ookami girl. "Ayame...what are you doing here?" Kagome asked.
"Oh hey Kagome, I came by to ask for your help" Ayame said cheerfully. tilting her head and clasping her hands together.
"Um...sure, what is it that you need?" Kagome asked.  She hated making Alessa wait but she also know she needed to help when she could.  She knew Alessa would understand.
"Well, I was hoping that you could use some of that strange medicine of your's to help my Ojii-san. He's really sick and I was just thinking that maybe you could help him." Ayame said shyly.
"Oh, of course Ayame. No problem!" Kagome told the young ookami , silently asking what they thought. Everyone agreed, even Inuyasha surprisingly.
"Sure, anything to keep you away from that disgusting town and child" Inuyasha said callously.
Sango, Miroku and Shippo were all amazed at the hanyou's level of stupidity as Miroku went to pull the now unconscious Inuyasha out of his new crater.
"Ok, Elder that should do it" said Kagome as she stood up from the Elders bedding.
"Arigato Miko-sama. If there is anything that you would like us to do for you, please just let us know" said the Elder weakly.
Kagome put a finger to her lips and thought for a moment before thinking of something. "Well, there is something that I need...I need a mirror."
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha shouted "I told you that you are not going to that place even if I have to break the mirror." he finished.
"It's bad luck to break mirrors, Inuyasha."  Miroku explained.
"Ahh, who cares."  Inuyasha replied
"Well too bad for you Inuyasha, I won't let you anywhere near that mirror. I'm going and that's final." Said Kagome boldly.
The Elder had no idea what the miko and hanyou were talking about, but none the less had one of the warriors bring a full length body mirror to Kagome.
Kagome stood in front of the mirror and took a deep breath as she began to think about Silent Hill. She thought of Alessa, then the eerie quietness of the town, the run down buildings and signs, next she thought of the truly terrifying monsters that roamed freely around the town and lastly she thought of the siren and of the sound it made.  Then she placed both hands of the face of the mirror.
"Kagome..." Inuyasha warned her as he went to pull her back and try and possibly destroy the mirror but Sango and Miroku held him back stopping him from interfering.
"She's already made up her mind Inuyasha. Besides I think it would be a bad idea to interrupt what she's doing." Miroku explained to him.
But none of that mattered now because Kagome wasn't paying attention to anything but her own thoughts. Then the sound of the siren started to come through. She knew the others wouldn't be able to hear it seeing as how they never could before. But she was surprised when in the reflection of the mirror she saw Shippo reach up and cover his sensitive youkai ears.
"My ears, that sound!" he cried.
"Are we under attack by a youkai?" Inuyasha began “It’s probably that little brat. I told you we couldn't trust her."
"It doesn't sound like any youkai I've ever heard." Sango stated.
The sound was growing louder and Kagome couldn't hear the others anymore and as close as she was to completing the initial steps of getting to Silent Hill she didn't want to do anything that might risk putting the others in danger. Kagome sighed and started to remove her hand from the mirror but found that for some reason her hand wouldn't move. It was like someone put gorilla glue on it. Her stomach churned and she tried to throw all of her weight backwards in the hope that her hands would come free...but to no avail. She gave up and turned to the others. "EVRYONE! GET OUT OF HERE!" she shouted over the sound of the siren but the others couldn't hear her. 'Why is Alessa doing this?' Kagome thought as everything went black.
Silent Hill
Kagome felt herself floating through darkness but she wasn't afraid for herself. She'd done this plenty of times. Her friends on the other hand had not and she feared that because they were from a different era that they might not survive coming through. She was glad when she heard a familiar voice.
"Kagome? Kagome?" came the frightened words.
Kagome carefully opened her eyes and Shippo looked relived, he also looked scared beyond belief. Kagome couldn't blame him though. If she hadn't known exactly where they where, she'd be scared to. Shippo latched himself on to her.
"Wh-where are we Kagome?" he asked as he snuggled closer to her.
Kagome tried her best to comfort him but realized that they should probably get going. She picked herself up with Shippo still clinging to her and started walking. "Don't worry, it'll be alright Shippo" Kagome said.
"You promise?" Shippo asked softly.
Kagome plucked him off her shoulder so that she could hold him and patted his hair in a soothing manner. "I promise Shippo. Nothings going to happen to you, I won't let it." Kagome said softly. She then took a quick glance around and knew that they were at the disconnected rode. With the street to the real world cut off she knew that they were going to have to venture into Silent Hill. At least she knew the monsters wouldn't attack them. 'I hope' she thought. After assessing their situation she began the walk into town. "Don't worry we'll find the others real soon and then get you all back to the feudal era" Kagome spoke optimistically. Inside she was worried sick.
Alessa and the baboon man were staring at each other. She didn't like the mask he wore because she couldn't read the  emotions on his face. But she stayed calm and played being innocent as much as possible. She knew it was a long shot but she tried anyway. She tilted her head and smiled sweetly. "Who are you? How did you get here? What do you want?" she fired off question after question not waiting for an answer, being childish on purpose.
"You reek of extraordinary power. I think I'll have to take it from you" the baboon man said. It was obvious that her other questions didn't warrant answers.
Suddenly Alessa was levitating about six feet off the ground. Her hair was moving as if a breeze was passing through it. As she started towards her enemy, the ground beneath her twisted and rusted. Behind her, sounds could be heard. Rustling sounds and metal dragging on the ground. But even as the grotesque monster appeared, the man still did nothing but stand there.
"Why would you willingly come to a place like this Kagome? " Shippo asked Kagome as they continued to walk towards town."It's so strange and scary."
"Trust me Shippo, this isn't my favorite place. But there's someone here that I promised to come and visit." Kagome explained. They were beginning to notice that the mist was getting thicker and Kagome saw a shape start to move out of the mist and come towards them. 'It's probably just a Spitter, no need to freak out Kagome...but still I should be on my toes . Who knows what will happen now that the others are here. I hope that they're all ok.' Kagome thought worriedly as the writhing figure in the mist began to move closer to them.
"K-Kagome w-what is that?" Shippo asked in a terrified voice.
Kagome was simply going to walk by the Spitter and pay it now mind but as it got closer it suddenly lunged at them. Kagome let out a terrified scream and began to run. 'What's going on? The monsters have never tried to hurt me before, so why are they starting now? Alessa...why are you doing this?' Kagome thought as she kept on running. Suddenly she tripped and fell to the ground causing Shippo to fly out of her arms.
"RUN FOR IT SHIPPO!" Kagome shouted at him as the Spitter began to advance ever closer to her. Kagome closed her eyes and waited for the pain of the acid that she knew it would spit on her...but she was oddly surprised when she heard the pain filled scream -if you can even call it that- of the Spitter instead. When Kagome finally opened her eyes the first thing she saw was the massive bloody heap that was the once a Spitter. Kagome was in to much shock to notice that Shippo had latched himself back onto her and was staring at something above them. Kagome finally snapped out of her shock when she heard an all too familiar ice cold voice speak up
"Onna, I suggest that you get up before more of these things start to come after us." Kagome looked up only to be met with emotionless golden eyes of The Great Taiyoukai of The West himself. "Sesshomaru." Kagome said his name in barely a whisper as she stood up and began to try and comfort a mortified Shippo.
"Kagome, what was that thing? I've never seen a demon that scary." Shippo asked through his tears.
"It's called a Spitter...and a better question to ask is why attacked us?" Kagome stated.
"So I take it you are familiar with this place then ningen." Sesshomaru stated.
"Yes, this is my second home. But in the four years that I've been coming to this place, the monsters have never attacked me. Not once," Kagome answered thoughtfully.
"I don't care about your long explanation. I only need you as a guide," Sesshomaru said.
"Well you're the one that asked." Kagome shot back at him. "But that's not the point. What I want to know is what are you doing here Sesshomaru-sama?" Kagome asked him.
Sesshomaru stared at the ningen onna before him "I do not know why I am here ningen, but I can tell you that before I woke up in this place there was a terrible sound that I can not describe."
'The siren. So even Sesshomaru heard it? What is going on in Silent Hill and where's Alessa during all of this?' Kagome thought to her self.
"Sesshomaru-sama, where are Jaken and Rin?" Shippo questioned while trying his best to ignore the bloody corpse of the Spitter.  He stepped over it hoping it wouldn't suddenly reach out and grab him and was relieved when nothing happened.
Sesshomaru glanced at Shippo and Kagome with blank eyes and said nothing as he crossed his arms. Yes his arms, courtesy of Kagome three months prior to this.
"They're probably somewhere in this place, aren't they?" Kagome inquired softly knowing that the thought of anything happening to Rin would set the Taiyoukai off into a fine rage.
"That's the only reason why you saved us, isn't it?" Shippo asked out loud.
"Why can't you just track them by their scent?"  Kagome questioned.
"I don't know Kagome, but I can't smell anything in the place.  Not even you and you usually smell pretty good."  Shippo stated.
Kagome looked from Shippo to Sesshomaru and back to Shippo and it suddenly all made sense,
Sesshomaru didn't say anything at first  but then nodded his head and uncrossed his arms as if to say 'We're leaving'.
"Well first we need to find Alessa" Kagome stated.
"Who's Alessa, Kagome?" asked Shippo.
"She's my daughter. The reason I keep coming back to this place" Kagome said as she took a look around.
"That is not possible ningen, for this Alessa to be your daughter. You are still pure, I can sense it" Sesshomaru stated matter-a-fact.
"That's because she is not my blood daughter. Alessa is someone that was killed a long time ago by her real mother and the other people of this town," Kagome said through gritted teeth as the three of them began to continue their walk into Silent Hill.
"Why did they do that to her?" Shippo asked from his position on Kagome's shoulder.
"It was because Alessa had some kind of strange power and they needed it in order to give birth to their false god, Samael," Kagome answered.
"So in other words they murdered an innocent child for their own selfish wants?" Sesshomaru stated rather then asked. "And you and my baka brother wonder why I hate humans."
"And yet you still take care of Rin," Kagome accused.
"That is different." Sesshomaru said never taking his eyes away from the road. "Besides, I don't have to explain my actions to the likes of you," Sesshomaru finished emotionlessly.
"Riiiiight..." Kagome said as she continued to lead them through the town.
"Ha ha ha ha!" The Baboon Man laughed sadistically.

Alessa blinked as a large massive man made his entrance. The man wore an odd iron mask in the shape of a large pyramid and the dragging metal sound that was being heard was a very large knife. Alessa gestured twordes the man. "This is Pyramid Head and he like to skin things," Alessa stated in a sing-song voice. With that Pyramid Head drew the blade above his head.
"Are you sure he's on your side?" Baboon Man questioned at that Pyramid Head paused.
Alessa tilted her head and smiled as Pyramid Head suddenly swung the blade. The Baboon Man's mask was suddenly cut in half, revealing the shocked and angry face of a young man with long black hair.
"Oh, I'm sure he's on my side" Alessa said with glee."I mean why wouldn't he be?"
"How is that possible? The Jewel Shard that I gave that thing souled have given me control over it, like it did with the others," said the man as he began to take a step back.
"Jewel Shard? That sounds so familiar. Now where have I heard that before?" Alessa asked herself before snapping her fingers "Oh, that's right. Those are the things that mommy and dog-boy are looking for. Soooo...that must mean that you're Naraku right?" Alessa said pointing at him.
'Did she say mommy and dog-boy? Is she talking about Kagome and Inuyasha? I knew Kagome was involved with this place...but I never suspected that she was this girl's mother. This changes everything. Damn it!' Naraku thought bitterly before orally answering Alessa. "Yes I am Naraku. Now tell me why the Jewel Shard won't let me have control over that abomination," said Naraku.
Alessa was beginning to become quite enraged at being ordered around by this man.  "I don't take orders from the likes of you, you pig. You come here to my world and think that just because you have that silly little gem attached to my creatures that you can have my power. Well think again! This is my town and if you want it, you'll have to take it by force." Alessa said as knots of barbed wire shot out and ripped Naraku to pieces. After that Alessa walked over and kicked the baboon pelt aside only to discover that in the place of Naraku's body was a wooden doll with some hair tied around it. "So he got away" Alessa observed as the wooden doll burnt to ash in the palm of her hand. But to Alessa that didn't matter. What mattered to her was making sure that Naraku never found out about The Flauros. Alessa then walked over to Pyramid Head and looked at him, noting the faint glow coming off his chest. "So that must be the 'Jewel Shard' he spoke of, and for whatever reason it had the opposite affect on you then what he desired. So for now I think I'm just going to leave it there. Oh I wonder if Mr. Butcher has one too" Alessa said out loud as she and Pyramid Head disappeared into a world of darkness.
"Tell me ningen, what sort of world is this?  None of these things seem familiar to this Sesshomaru."  Sesshomaru said to Kagome.
So for the next hour or so, Kagome explained to him and Shippo about things in this world such as cars, signs, and buildings.  She went into detail about what they meant and why they were used for.
"So Kagome...I was uh...wondering how Alessa died?"  Shippo asked because of his curiosity.
Kagome didn't answer at first, she thought for a moment on whether it would be a good idea to tell them the whole brutal story.  In the end, she decided that it couldn't hurt. "She was burnt alive in a cage over a bed of coals."  Kagome told them through gritted teeth thinking of what horrible pain she must have endured.
"And despite the foreboding atmosphere of this place, the creatures and all the other…things, you still keep coming back...why?" Sesshomaru questioned.  
Kagome could tell that he was genuinely curious about her visits here. "Because...because I love Alessa and she deserves a little bit of happiness. And after all that she's been through I think if I can help with that then so help me I will."  Stated a fired up Kagome.  
But Sesshomaru just kept walking, he gave no indication that he heard her or let alone cared. "Where do you think Jaken and Rin may be…in this place?"  He finally asked.
"I don't know...I mean they could be anywhere.  I'm hoping we'll find some kind of clue or hint that will lead us to our first..." Kagome began but was cut off as Sesshomaru stopped.  Before Kagome could say anything, Sesshomaru suddenly pulled out his blade and held it out in front of him.  "What is it?  What's wrong?"  Kagome finally got out.
"There's something moving ahead in the fog."  He answered while getting into a more manageable fighting stance.  
Kagome wanted to see if she could tell what it was, so she took a step in front of Sesshomaru and squinted at the figure in the fog.
"Ningen, what do you think you are doing?  Can you not think for yourself before you act so rashly?  Is this how you travel with my brother? This is foolishness and will get you killed...and that would make finding Rin and Jaken... troublesome"  Sesshomaru explained.  He glared at Kagome. "Now get behind me” He ordered as the figure in the fog began to get closer.
But Kagome ignored him and did the opposite by taking another step forward.  She was certain she would be able to tell who or what it was as it got closer.  And the first thing that caught her eye was a movement of deep royal purple cloth. "Alessa?"  Kagome almost whispered.  She squinted again as she took yet another step forward and saw that the figure was small and had black hair.  She was certain it had to be Alessa especially with her familiar movements.  "ALESSA!"  Kagome shouted.
Then the figure stopped for a moment before motioning with her hand for Kagome and the others to follow. Kagome looked back at Sesshomaru and Shippo and decided for them.  She suddenly took off after the phantom Alessa.  She was so caught up in the running that she wasn't paying any attention to where she was going because all that mattered was getting to Alessa and helping the others get out of this place to where they belonged.
"Kagome, wait for us!"  Shippo yelled out as he and Sesshomaru began to follow her.  Sesshomaru slightly annoyed picked Shippo up so they wouldn't fall behind.  "What is that baka onna thinking, just running off in a place like this?"  Sesshomaru questioned more to himself then to anyone else but Shippo answered him anyway. "She said that was Alessa, right?"  Sesshomaru didn't even bother with a reply and they continued to chase the little miko.  'Hmmm if it were really her, then why did she not just come out and inform the ningen that she was there then?' Sesshomaru thought to himself.  
The Phantom stopped next to one of the buildings -as Kagome continued her sprint- and pointed towards it with an out stretched arm, then without warning, the phantom disappeared somewhere into the fog leaving Kagome frantically looking around for her daughter.  "ALESSA? ALESSA, WHERE ARE YOU?  COME ON OUT SWEETIE!"  She called.  Her eyes were scanning the area in desperation.  Then she heard laughter coming from the building that the phantom Alessa had just pointed to. 'So, you want to play Alessa? Is that why you're doing this?' But just as she was about to enter the building she knew as the Butcher's shop, she was pulled to a halt.  
She turned to see Sesshomaru and he seemed annoyed.  "That was yet another very foolish thing to do, human. How have you stayed alive all this time?  You said yourself that this place is dangerous and that it is no longer safe…even for you."  Sesshomaru stated coldly.
"But I saw her, I know it was her.  I saw Alessa and then I heard her laughter coming from the inside the Butcher's shop."  Kagome said as she tried frantically to get out of Sesshomaru's grasp.  She hadn't even paid any attention to his insults.
"Fine, we'll go in, on one condition."  Sesshomaru waited until Kagome stopped moving and looked at him.  When she did, he continued. "You will not run off again, I told you I still need to find Rin and Jaken."  He completed blankly.
Kagome was beginning to get annoyed, she'd taken enough from Inuyasha and so she let Sesshomaru have it.  "Now listen here you cold hearted jerk.  I'm not going to stand around and take orders from you.  Do you understand me?  Because I do know this place better than anyone else and if you think I'm going to stand by and take your garbage you've got another thing coming pal...oh and another thing I have a name.  It's Kagome, KA-GO-ME!  GOT IT!" Kagome shouted and seethed when she was done.
Meanwhile Sesshomaru could not believe the way this ningen onna was speaking to him in this manner. Of course on the outside he showed no real emotion, he just continued to keep his hold on Kagome.  "I'm not letting go until you agree that you won't run off.  Besides are you really going to be of any use to your...daughter if you run into another one of those demons and die?"  Sesshomaru asked.
"I hate to say it but he does have a point, Kagome" Shippo agreed grudgingly.
Kagome sighed “Alright I won’t run off any more but in return you have to agree to let me go into these places that I think are important to finding out what’s going on here in Silent Hill, ok.”
Sesshomaru glared at Kagome and was about to tell her exactly what he thought of this little plan of hers when he suddenly thought of Rin and Jaken. He knew that there was no way Jaken would be able to protect Rin for long in this place -even with the staff of two heads at his disposal- and he knew that he had to find them. With that one thing in mind all other thoughts were eradicated until only a burning desire to find his comrades remained.
"Very well nin-, Kagome. I will agree to this, but only on the condition that you don't go running off on you're own again. Agreed?" Sesshomaru said sternly, leaving no room for arguments.
Kagome smiled and nodded her head. "Fine, I agree...oh and thank you for using my name Sesshomaru-sama" Kagome said as she turned to walk in to the butcher shop.
Sesshomaru stared at the girl as she walked away and into the building wondering why in Kami's name he had gotten stuck with this strange and unusual onna before he eventually gave up and followed her and the kit.
Once inside the building Kagome took a look around and covered her nose and mouth. Out of all the buildings in Silent Hill this one was probably one of her least favorite, mainly due to the fact that the whole place smelled like rotting meat.  They passed several tables littered with an assortment of human limbs in various stages of decomposition.  Meat hooks were decorating the walls also in use.  The floor they were stepping on was splattered with blood and who knew what else.
"Eww, Kagome do you even know what we are looking for, because I'm not sure how much more of this smell I can take" Shippo asked between gaging.
"I'll know it when I see it Shippo" Kagome said going up to the counter and looking around before she was suddenly pushed up against the wall by Sesshomaru's body. "Hey, what are you do-" Kagome started but was cut off suddenly by Sesshomaru's deep growl.  Then they heard scraping sounds close by.
Sesshomaru had been silently sensing the building to make sure their was no danger, while inadvertently trying not to gag at the putrid smell of the place when suddenly he heard footsteps coming from beyond the door to the left side of the building. He instantly went and put Kagome between the wall and himself, drawing his sword in the process. Sesshomaru growled low in his throat as whatever was their finally showed itself. Whatever it was, it was huge. It looked like a hideously deformed demon in human form. It carried a cleaver and was wearing clothes covered in blood, some of it dried and some of it wet. Sesshomaru was about to attack when Kagome stopped him.
"Sesshomaru-sama please wait?" Kagome asked stepping out from behind him.
"Why do you stop me, you said you're self that the creatures are now attacking you so why not kill it?" Sesshomaru asked never once looking away from the beast.
"Because that's The Butcher, one of Alessa's two favorite creatures, and I can't help but feel that it's still under Alessa's control, not to mention the fact that there is a Jewel Shard lodged in it's chest" Kagome stated as she looked at the creature. "Am I right?" she asked it.
The Butcher said nothing nor did it make any noise. All it did was stretch it's arm out in front of it, open it's clenched hand, drop something on the floor, turn and walk back the way it came.
Kagome let out a sigh and walked over to retrieve the object from the floor.
"What is it?" Sesshomaru asked as he stepped forward to look at the item in question.
"It's called a Flauros...or a piece of it anyway" Kagome said.
"Well what dose it have to do with any of this?" Sesshomaru asked.
Kagome looked a little hesitant to tell him, but thanks to another hard stare she gave in. "Well, remember how I told you that the reason the towns people killed her was so they could give birth to a false god?" -All she received was a nod- "Well, from what Alessa has told me, right as the false god appeared someone showed up and sealed it in a device called The Flauros. Then it was split into six pieces and hidden. Five, well now four of them are here in Silent Hill. One is in the River Side Hotel, another is in the elementary School, followed by the Asylum and the Hospital." Kagome finished.
Sesshomaru however was not pleased with that answer and decided to another question "What about the sixth?"
"Oh right, the six is apparently hidden somewhere in the real world by the person that sealed that abomination up in the first place" said Kagome.
"And this person would be?" Sesshomaru said curiously.
"Alessa never told me, all she ever said was that next to me they were the only person that she trusted" Kagome said looking at the ground. She was tired of answering questions. All she wanted was to find Alessa, and send the others back to the Feudal Era. But from the look of things that wasn't going to be happening any time soon. Not only that, another thing that was bothering her was that fact that The Butcher had a jewel shard and Kagome couldn't help but feel like Naraku had a part in this. So many questions were running through her head that she hardly noticed when Sesshomaru started talking to her. "Eh, did you say something Sesshomaru-sama?"
Sesshomaru sighed but none the less repeated what he had already said, he could understand the girls situation due to the fact that he was in the same one, worrying about someone important. "I asked where we are going to go to next? Seeing as how it seems we have a need to find these pieces." Sesshomaru said pointing a clawed finger to the Flourous in Kagome's hand.
Kagome thought for a moment before answering "I'm not sure.  Usually there's some sort of clue or hint as where to go next but I'm not..."  Just then Kagome spotted something close by to where the Butcher had dropped the peice of Flauros. Kagome bent and picked it up.  It was a soot covered surgical mask.
"Is that a clue, Kagome?"  Shippo asked.
Kagome nodded her head.
"It looks like we're headed to the Hospital."  Kagome stated.
And so Kagome, Sesshomaru and Shippo began to walk in the direction of the Hospital, all along never noticing the pair of small brown eyes that watched them closely from the shadows.
