But if you don�t like my story, please be polite when you tell me. And also, tell me why. Or if you do like it, review and write whatever you want, LOL.

Feedback: Please give me some feedback. Reviewing will keep the fics coming. (points to too-thin muse) and he needs to eat (muses live on reviews)! But please keep your flames to warm yourself.

�This is the third village we�ve passed that�s been totally decimated,� Miroku exclaimed.
�And there�s that same smell,� InuYasha muttered.
�I smell only death,� Sesshomaru stated.
�Yeah, but get a good whiff,� InuYasha responded. The brothers had finally stopped fighting, although the bickering had nowhere near ended.
�I have smelled you and your human companions enough already,� Sesshomaru responded.
�You just don�t seem to know how to use your senses.�
�And you don�t seem to have any sense at all.�
�Idiot.�
�Useless half-breed.�
�Kutabare!� InuYasha responded, causing Kagome and Sango to blush. Shippo clapped his hand over his mouth. InuYasha�s language was always strong, but around his brother it tended to be more so. And the slightest provocation seemed to incite it. Sesshomaru didn�t blink.
�Must you be so vulgar?� Sesshomaru glanced back at Rin, whose eyes were big from atop Ah-un. InuYasha had the grace to look embarrassed. He usually watched his language more around the child. But then, Sesshomaru usually didn�t make �humans stink� comments around her, either. �I do not see how these events are related. The first village was a plague. The next, a massacre. This village has been burned to ashes.� InuYasha sighed.
�And all of them smell like rotting bodies. The massacre was fresh, this place is burned, no bodies even left.� Sesshomaru�s eyes narrowed and his nose twitched. Miroku had noticed that the demon lord was much more subtle in the use of his dog-like abilities. He couldn�t imagine the taiyoukai getting down on his hand and knees and sniffing the ground.
�I have smelled this before,� Sesshomaru declared.
�Um, yeah, in the last two villages,� InuYasha said, rolling his eyes. Sesshomaru glared.
�In a town before the plagued village. It had been severely attacked by lesser demons.�
�Why didn�t you say�� InuYasha began to yell, but Miroku interrupted him.
�So it�s actually been at least four villages.�
�Could it be Naraku?� Kagome asked.
�No, I don�t smell him,� InuYasha grumbled.
�Do you think it�s a new demon? Maybe one that was dormant when Naraku was around?� Sango asked.
�It�s possible,� InuYasha agreed.
�But I don�t sense any demonic aura,� Miroku added. Kagome nodded.
�Maybe it�s masking it,� InuYasha said. �Whatever it is, we�ll kill it when we see it.�
�It seems to be heading the same direction we are,� Miroku commented.
�Then we�ll just have to pick up the pace,� InuYasha said and took off. Kagome jumped on her bicycle and began peddling furiously, Shippo in her basket. Kirara transformed and Sango and Miroku boarded her. She took off into the sky, following quickly behind InuYasha. Miroku looked back to see Rin getting on Ah-un and Sesshomaru saying something to her. Rin shook her head, then the group faded from view. A few minutes later, Miroku saw a blur of light pass Kagome on the ground. They rode on while the sun rose higher, peaked and finally began sinking. That�s when they saw it.
It was like an absence of light. Fuzzy�-edged blackness turned to peer at them with blazing red eyes. It was at least six meters high and strangely thin. The grass under its feet was dead in a trail back through the forest, which had strangely survived.
�That�s far enough,� InuYasha yelled, drawing the tetsusaiga. It narrowed its eyes, though it looked more like the fire in the center of darkness faded.
�What business have you with me?� It asked, its voice oddly soft, but echoing.
�You stink of death. You�re what�s been killing all the villagers!�
�I am Zetsumei. They were in my path. As you are now.� With that, Zetsumei extended a limb and a green cloud burst forth. InuYasha covered his mouth with the sleeve of his haori and closed one eye for a moment, then they both widened.
�Kagome, Sango, Miroku, get out of here! He�s the source of the plague!� Kirara roared and turned them around quickly. Miroku looked down to see Kikyo emerging from the forest, bow drawn. A bolt flew, but did no good. The death demon turned to her and reached out an impossibly long arm, stretching like a shadow in the sinking sun.
�Kikyo!� InuYasha screamed, but Zetsumei grabbed her. She screamed and disappeared.
�All the dead belong to me,� Zetsumei declared. Then his fingers reached for Kirara and in her desperation to get away, she was knocked to the side, spilling her passengers to the ground. After what had happened to Kikyo, it seemed very important that Zetsumei not touch them, so Sango and Miroku ran as fast as they could, away from him.

Thanks so much for the reviews all! I�m trying to upload this quickly, but it�s taking me several attempts each time for aff.net to acknowledge the upload. I�m not sure why. I�m glad everyone�s enjoying this story. Oh, yeah, and Zetsumei means �the end of all life�.
