The World We Live In {Sesshoumaru x Oc}

Chapter 3

It was a brand new day. Even though it didn't seem like it. As Kagome pushed the woven door her eyes saw nothing but fog. She sighed. This had gone on for about a week. The people of the village were on edge and everyone stayed inside their homes. Everyone was too afraid to be outside Honestly, she had enough of her share with this fog as well.

Kagome almost jumped out of her skin when Miroku was suddenly standing in front of her. There was no visibility what so ever and people would pop up out of nowhere, scaring each other. Kagome placed her hands over her pounding heart as an apologetic Miroku bowed to her.

"Sorry," he chuckled a bit as he scratched the back of his head, "I just came to check up on you guys. This fog has gotten worse and the villagers are starting to panic."

"Not to mention its thicker than yesterday," Kagome said, concern high in her voice.

"Yeah," Inuyasha said as he suddenly appeared next to them, "We need to figure out what's making this fog."

Kagome bit her bottom lip when she saw him. Her eyes immediately stung, threatening to spill the tears that had quickly appeared. Her cheeks were bright red and her stomach was beginning to hurt. She tried to hold it back but the loud and sudden eruption of laughter in front of her made Kagome lose her self-control. Inuyasha frowned deeply at the laughing pair.

"What the hell is so funny?"

Kagome's laughing slowed enough to explain but once she caught another glance at him she laughed harder. The fog made it almost impossible to see what was a foot in front of her but she could make out details of someone's head and neck. Due to Inuyasha's white hair, he blended so well into the fog that it framed his face, making him look like an angry faced cloud. Kagome slowed her laughter again and wiped the tears that fell.

"Whatever," Inuyasha scoffed as his face floated past them. "Let's go find Keade and see if she knows anything about this."

Kagome and Miroku snickered to themselves as they followed behind him, earning a loud "Shut up!"

"Some-some one wi-will destroy yo-"

He pulled until he heard a satisfying crack and then the monk fell silent. He lifted the head and opened his mouth to let an overly long tongue hang from his lips. The red liquid poured down his throat deliciously. The sweet scent made goosebumps form down his cold, pale skin. The sound of skin and muscles tearing from bone and the wails of agony were music to his ears. All of his soldiers were feasting happily. He tossed the severed head to the ground and wiped the blood from his pale lips. He glanced over the fog covered village. The blood, the fire, the screaming. He had longed for it and they were to be eradicated.

It felt like centuries had gone by without the taste of fresh human blood. It gave him energy and power. He began to walk past the barely devoured humans, stepping into many pools of blood as he made his way to the temple at the center of the village. The very village that the monk that sealed him once lived and home to the white crystal.

When they found Keade she was in her hut and she was talking with Shippou who had a worried expression on his face.

"What's going on?" Inuyasha asked causing them to turn their attention to him.

"Rin's missing!" Shippou shouted frantically.

"What do you mean she's missing?" Miroku asked.

"She went to go to get some fish and she hasn't returned!" Shippou shouted.

"She went to get food by herself?!" Kagome became worried instantly as the fox child ran over to them. A child had no business being in just bad weather by themselves.

"Dammit, Let's go Kagome," Inuyasha grumbled as he held up the woven door. "Sesshoumaru'll kill me if he finds out something happened to that girl."

Kagome nodded before walking out of the door and waited for Inuyasha to get into his usual crouched position. Kagome climbed onto him and waited for his hands to grab the underside of her thighs. "We'll find her."

He stood and began to run following her scent as it led from the village. She knew they'd find her, just safe, hopefully.
