chapter 5: not one of us: a demon in our midst

++++++++====================+++++++++++

Kagome left the hut without another word. She past many villagers who gave her continuous glares and dirty looks. One of them even whispered his suspicion to his comrade. If he only knew how wrong he was. She was worst than a demon, far worst.

She probably looked like one yes, but that doesn't mean she is one. Does it? She found herself braiding her hair unconsciously. Her hair, oh how she missed its raven shine and how silky it felt. She let go of her pitiful thoughts and hair and continued walking through the village to Naoko's hut.

She walked past even more villagers who despised her presence; then again all the villagers despised her presence. Her nose detecting the faint scent of their blood. Faint because she had stopped breathing; she didn't need to.

A little girl ran up to her.

"Are you a demon?" she asked innocently, voicing everyone's thoughts.

Kagome laughed lightly, the sound not so appealing to one's ear anymore, at the girl's innocent question. She used to be innocent, once upon a time.

"No I'm not," she answered. It wasn't a lie; it wasn't exactly to truth either. She just wasn't human. "Besides, aren't demons supposed to be pretty? I'm not. So I cant be a demon."

"But you are pretty" the girl insisted.

"Thank you, but I assure you I'm not a demon" she said the last part loud enough for those nearby to hear.

"But-"

"I am human" Kagome insisted. Thoroughly getting irritated by the little child.

A woman came up, apparently she was the girl's mother, she took her up and mumbled an apology to Kagome before beginning to walk off. Kagome heard her say something under her breath about `humans aren't so pale. She looks like the walking dead'

That conclusion made Kagome tense, slightly anyway.

+++++++++++++++===================+++++++++

Inuyasha sat in the god tree. He was distressed and slightly worried about Kagome's well being, he was also slightly peeved with the girl. While she ran off to school. He had to sit and stay and wait for her. He was outraged by the idea of her treating him like a puppy waiting for its master.

But what he didn't realize or want to realize, was that he was doing it on his own free will.

"Well I ain't doing it!!" he yelled and leapt from the tree, startling Sango and Miroku who were nearby.

"Whats wrong Inuyasha?"

"Im tired of waiting that's all, we're going to search for those shards with or without her. Now come on!" he began to walk back to the village.

"But Inuyasha we need Lady Kagome to sense the shards or else we'd be walking around and killing every demon we see" Miroku reasoned.

"Well at least its something to do, now pack up and come on!"

"Inuyasha cant it wait till morning, it's the middle of evening, it'll be dark in not time and we humans cant see in the dark, remember." Sango reasoned. "We'll rest up then tackle it tomorrow"

"Fine, and I don't want any whining tomorrow. We go by my terms"

"Whatever" she said then smacked Miroku upside the head.

===========++++++++++++++==================

the youkai Lord of the Western Lands, Sesshomaru, was patrolling his lands leisurely. He needed something to do to get away from is annoying retainer.

The evening sun peaked through the canopy of trees he was walking beneath, giving him an otherworldly glow. Making him look, if possible, sexier.

The demon Lord sighed inwardly. Rin, his ward, was becoming older and wiser, more than he'd care to admit. She would soon be a young woman, by human terms, and will need some guidance. He did not want to have to send her away to some village to stay for a while, no. Come to think of it, he's grown quite attached to the 7 year old human.

No, he was a Taiyoukai, a ruler of Japan. He is not supposed to become attached to ningen!

Sesshomaru sighed again, whom was he kidding? He was quite fond of the chibi, and he didn't want to have to part with her. He was not one who liked loosing his possessions. But if that were the case, he'd probably have to bring an older human female into his castle to take care of Rin…

He almost growled at that thought, he, Sesshomaru, demon Lord of the Western Lands of Japan, house a despicable human woman, impossible! And unacceptable. He would not have it

Now there lies the problem, his pride. From whence the solution? Tat needs more thought.

He lightly massaged the area between his eyes to get rid of the irritating headache that was forming. He was putting himself under stress and he knew it, though he would not show it.

Why not go annoy his brother?

It was a good stress remedy.

With that plan in mind, he walked past his borders into Inuyasha's Forrest, intending on `relieving some stress', or as he liked to call it; play with his talking, walking, punchingbag.

++++++++++++++===============++++++++++++

"Kagome!" Naoko's voice cut short all thoughts Kagome had at this point. She turned slightly, watching as the girl ran towards her.

"Yes Naoko?" Kagome asked, waiting for the girl to catch her breath.

"I just wanna make sure you're not sick or anything, because you just slept the entire day without waking at all, not even for a second. You didn't move either; it was like you were dead. And your still so pale, I just want to make sure."

"I'm fine" Kagome said, the girl in front of her was actually worried about her well being and she didn't even know her! It reminded Kagome of someone, her past self. The self she is so determined to be once again.

"Well, you have to eat SOMETHING or at least drink" the girl insisted.

There they go again, those two words. Kagome really needed to control her hunger and instincts, they are gonna be the death of her, or something like that.

<you have to eat my pet> there was Alex's voice once again. If she heard it one more time she's sure she'd kill this entire village. It was a hard enough time to keep the red from her vision, the scent from her nose and the black from her pupils.

A searing pain cut through her stomach. Kagome doubled over. She recognized this pain, her suppressed powers. They were beginning to act up again she really needed to eat.

Kagome clutched her stomach and fell to one knee, then the next.

"Kagome are you okay?" Naoko asked frantic.

Kagome pounded the dirt beneath her. Trying her hardest to suppress her urges, pain and vampiric senses all at once.

<you have to eat…> came the voice.

"NO!!!" Kagome yelled in vain before her vampiric senses took control.

"Kagome lets get you something to eat!" Naoko shrieked bending down to help up the fallen girl.

In one swift movement, Kagome had Naoko `resting' against her, facing the terrified villagers. He moved the petrified girl's head so it rested on her shoulder, exposing her delicate neck.

Kagome traced a pale cold finger along Naoko's jugular, making her pulse quicken, making the kill seem more appetizing.

The villagers around them stood frozen in fear. The quick movements of Kagome confirming their suspicions that the newcomer was in fact a demon. Some of the braver older men began brandishing their wepons, ready to slay this demon before any harm can be done.

Too bad they don't know what they're up against…

=============++++++++++++++++++============

thank you all for waiting on me. I hope you enjoy that chapter. Though it was shorter than I expected…

the part with sesshomaru, to me, wasn't realy relevant for this chapter, but I shall leave it for one of you might find relevance. And if you do, tell me what it is in a review plz.

So what do you thinks gonna happen next chapter? Fights? Meetings?

I have a feeling that inuyasha and kagome are going to have a reunion, but not one she'd prefer. Or maybe not. And how will sesshou solve his problem?!!! Stop, I'm giving way too much info here, then again I could always change it.

Thank you all those who read and reviewed from both ff.net and mm.org
