The hallway really was metal. Everything was, from the sink right outside the room we were in (I came to find out later that we had been in Miroku's room), to the floor & the cieling. I had come to the conclusion that maybe this building had once been a government building since all government official buildings were made out of metal to protect it against terrorist attacks.

We went down several long corridors before finally coming outside where the clouds covered the sun & the wind was biting & cold.

Miroku offered me his jacket but I shook my head, not wanting to smell like him, not to mention I didn't mind the cold that much.

As we walked down the narrow street, blending in with hundreds of other people walking in the same direction as we were, Sango fell back & began walking beside me.

"You're really not big on talking are you?" she asked.

I shook my head slowly.

"I understand. A lot of people here are mutes because of the things they've seen before they arrived here-"

I supressed a sigh & (barely) refrained from rolling my eyes as I felt another story coming.

She chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't bore you with any details. I just don't want you to think you're alone & no one understands you here. We don't try to understand anyone, we just help them where we can & try o survive. We can't live here forever or wait until this outbreak dies out. I personally don't think it'll ever die out"

I'd never thought of this apocalyspe lasting until the day I die. It was something so horrible my heart felt like it tumbled out of my chest & into my stomach & I clenched my jaw. How long would it be until I found Inuyasha? Would he still be himself or...one of them?

Sango & I stepped into a fairly long line of people & were handed little china bowls & mismatched sets of forks & spoons. Out of habit, I inspect the dishes closely to make sure they were clean, smiling to myself when I remembered how much mother used to nag when we didn't wash off a utensil before plunging it in the food of our choice. Inuyasha had taken to not eating with her around because he always forgot to wash it off. Being the oldest I had to deal with it longer so I grew accustomed to it.

Something tickled my nose & I absently wiped at it, my hand drawing back wet. Thinking I had a nosebleed I glanced at my palm to find clear liquid running down my wrist. Was this a tear? I wiped my face quickly. I hadn't realized until now that I missed my family deeply. I don't let it be known but I would consider myself a mother's boy only because my mother was like my best friend & I felt so close to her. I now felt the urge to actually cry but it'd have to wait until later.

'Stop it, now. Crying is for weaklings'

When we got to the front of the line they were serving what looked like some sort of mash up of beans, something that looked like beef but I wasn't sure, corn, green beans, onions & bell pepper. I set the bowl down with the utensils in it & walked away. I would starve before I eat that.

Now that I was out of line I realized I had no idea where to go. I'd lost sight of Miroku & Kagome after they recieved their food & Sango was still currently getting that muk shoveled into her bowl. How disgusting. I'd hunt on my own before I eat that mess.

"You're the demon they found in the desert, eh?"

I turned to find a guy a little shorter than me with white hair & lavender colored eyes. I nodded.

"Awesome. My name is Hakudoshi & I'll be your apartment guide"

He held his hand out for me to shake but I didn't notice it until he retracted it.

"Follow me"

I glanced around to see if I could find Sango, Miroku or Kagome but they were no where in sight. I shrugged one shoulder before following Hakudoshi into a narrow ally that opened up into a huge apartment complex. I cringed. I never did like apartments.

"You will be in room 301, top floor in the last building to the right. The previous residents decided they were better of living out there & who are we to deny someone of their independance?" Hakudoshi said in a bored tone, scribbling something down on a sheet of paper that was attatched to a clipboard, "If you have any problems you call me. Here is my number & my apartment room. Food should already be stocked. When you run out you come to me & I will get you more. Do you have any clothes besides what you have on?"

I shook my head.

"Not the talking type, eh?" he muttered before continuing, "Fine. I'll have clothes delivered to you as soon as possible along with towels, wash clothes, dishes & whatnot. Have you found a source of income yet?"

I shook my head again.

"Tsk. Well it would behoove you to find one as soon as possible. First month's rent is due in three weeks & it'll be $439, not including utilities. If you haven't found a job by then you will be given a tent, one pot, one bowl, a spoon, a fork & a bar of soap & sent to live in West End. Don't think you'd enjoy that much, considering your looks..."

I frowned. I was starting to not care for this man, not to mention I was weary & wanted to be alone.

"Your lights, gas & water will be turned on in 30 minutes. As I said, if you need anything let me know"

& without another word, much less a glance Hakudoshi walked off as if he was very proud of himself. I can see he & I having some heated words in the not so far future.

...

My apartment was...well, non-descript. From the front door you stepped into the living room, a hallway that led into the 2 bedrooms & bathroom was off to the right, to the left was a little kitchen & straight-ahead was an empty space that could be used as a dining area. It's what I sort of expected from a gated city. They wanted order, blandness.

I spent most of the day in my living room area, trying to figure out how in the hell I was going to start looking for Inuyasha. A few times I was interrupted by the assistant owner, Kanna, who was Hakudoshi's wife (who the hell would marry that prick?) when she brought me my necessary things. After she brought me some fresh bread, powdered eggs (how can powered eggs be fresh, I'll never know) & something that looked like apple juice, Hakudoshi stopped by with a large device that looked like a complexed calculator.

"Assuming you've never lived in a gated city, with that comes the assumption you have not been branded"

I raised my eyebrows. I dare this little man to burn a symbol on my ass. I will punt him like a damn football.

Hakudoshi sighed irritably. "You country people I swear...ok look this is called a trondommeter [AN: Tron-dom-meter]. This will give you a brand which you need because if you don't have a brand you don't get paid & if you don't get paid you get kicked out of this apartment & even in West End you need it so eventually you'd end up outside of the gates-"

I rolled my eyes & shifted my weight, exhaling heavily through my nose to signal that it'd be really nice if he's hurry up so he could get out of my face.

"Look, whatever. Just hold your wrist out"

I held my hand out, palm down but he flipped it over irritably & placed the top of the trondommeter on my wrist. There was a high pitch squeal that made me wince in pain & then I felt a prickling sensation under my skin before Hakudoshi took the device away & I had something that looked exactly like a barcode on my wrist.

"Have a nice day" Hakudoshi said boredly & turned & left.

I slammed the door after him, my eyes still on my wrist. Was that what I was now reduced to, just an object they barcoded to keep tabs on me? Any idiot could see that there was more to this than just my only way of pay. They did this to make sure I wasn't one of them. It had to be something that detected whatever they had in their system.

I sat back in my spot on the living room floor, staring out the window. Was Inuyasha now branded in some faraway gated city? Was he safe? I refuse to believe otherwise but that didn't make it true. Nor did it make it any easier to bear.

...

I woke with a start, not knowing where I was at first. I blinked a few times & tried to get my bearings while I wondered what woke me up. Then there was more knocking, a mumbling of voices outside my door.

"Think he's even here?"

"Well I mean we'll find out but we have to check & make sure first"

Miroku & Sango. I sighed & stood from my not so comfortable place on the floor where I ended up falling asleep & opened the door. Sango & Kagome beamed at me, Miroku gave me a smile & a nod while the woman named Kagura simply blinked at me.

"Hey, good morning!" Kagome chirped, "We brought you some food in case you might be hungry"

I hated mornings. Father used to wake me at every sunrise for training & though I did that for fifteen years I never got used to it. At least now I didn't drool when I slep & though I was sure my hair could be more presentable, overall I don't look half as crappy as I feel in the morning.

I nodded & stepped aside to let them in. Kagome & Sango exclaimed how neat I kept the place while Miroku made himself comfortable on the couch & Kagura stood in front of the window, her hands clasped in front of her as she stared around warily.

"You're not like most guys. Everything is just so tidy" Kagome said as she sat.

Sango placed their foil-covered dishes in the refridergator before she came & sat as well. "Yeah, I mean even I messed up my place a bit when I first got it"

"Oh please, you call leaving some of your drawers open & boxes stacked in the corner because you didn't feel like unpacking yet messed up?" Miroku question, chuckling.

"Well I like order!"

"She makes her bed before she gets up to piss" Kagome mock-whispered & the three of them laughed.

"Remember when she threw that graduation party at her house & was in a corner crying because no one would throw their plastic cups away?" Miroku laughed

"Oh my God she called me on the phone that night, crying about how she couldn't get the beer stain out of her carpet" Kagome squealed.

"It was a pretty large beer stain! & it was where I liked to do my yoga!" Sango protested but laughed good-naturedly.

I looked over at Kagura, noticing she had yet to say a word & she simply blinked at me, her beautiful magenta eyes full of open curiosity. Never one to back down out of a staring contest I narrowed my eyes slightly, wondering why she kept staring at me. One side of her lips tilted up into a smirk but other than that & blinking every minute or so there was no movement. It wasn't until she looked away for a split second that I noticed the other three were quiet & staring at us.

"Kagura's a really quiet person" Miroku offered, "She's nice...when she wants to be anyway"

Kagura glared at him for a moment before turning her eyes back to me.

"Don't listen to him, Kagura's cool. She just only speaks when she feels is necessary" Sango spoke up

The beautiful demoness nodded in confirmation at this.

I actually felt the urge to say something to her. I felt the muscles in my throat flex as it prepared itself for my voice & my tongue twitched to form the words but I actually had nothing to say. Not right now anyway. & for some reason I didn't want to say anything around Miroku, Sango or Kagome.

I slowly leaned back on the couch, bringing my right knee up to rest on top of my left knee, my eyes traveling up & down Kagura's body. I would admit, she had the kind of body that I'd love to get my hands on, press her to me & do dirty things to her but there was more to it than that. She held herself with such confidence, grace, dignity, a man couldn't help but be attracted to her. I wondered what Inuyasha would think of her; I knew he'd say something crude like he'd tap that.

I felt my face stretch into a sudden smile & the way Kagura's eyes lit up, eyebrows up near her bangs, made me feel like continuing to smile but then there were the other people in the room-

"Oh my!" Sango exclaimed & reached over to playfully slap my knee, "You have such a gorgeous smile. You should do it more often"

"Though I think that was meant exclusively for Kagura herself" I heard jealousy laced in Kagome's words but she didn't seem angry.

"Hey if you're going to smile like that with all the ladies you'll take them from me!" Miroku protested & was hit by some of the pillows that matched the couch.

"Do you find something amusing?" Kagura asked in a husky voice, a smirk gradually taking over her lips.

I chuckled once. Kagura was undeniably beautiful but did she think I was interested in her?

"Maybe he just likes the way you look" Miroku said with a shrug, "You are really sexy"

"Thank you" she replied though she kept her eyes on mine.

I smelled a very faint wiff of her pandormones, the demon equivalent of pheromones but sweeter & heavier. I raised an eyebrow at her & she raised hers in return. What was this, a test? The last thing I was concerned about now was being involved in a relationship.

"Should we leave you guys alone or...?" Kagome trailed off uncertainly.

"No" Kagura said bluntly, shifting, "It's fine. Let's go"

"But Kagura-" Sango started.

Kagura walked out the door without another glance or word. For some reason it made me feel the slighest bit of smugness that she seemed to leave annoyed.

"Um...well, uh we'll see you around...ummm what's your name?" Miroku said, extending a hand.

I looked at his hand before looking at him. What was it that made me want to not speak around them? The advantage of having an air of mystery about me? That maybe staying quiet will make me more interesting? Either way I could be a jerk but I wasn't completely rude.

"Sesshomaru" I said quietly, shaking his hand firmly.

I heard the women gasp quietly & almost immediately detected the scent of pheromones in the air. I mentally rolled my eyes. Maybe I should've kept my mouth shut.

"Well, then Sesshomaru, we'll see you around" Miroku said, smiling before walking out the door, the whispering & giggling Sango & Kagome following after him, sneaking peeks at me & blushing.

What is it with women? If I sang the Star Spangled Banner they'd throw their panties at me.

...

This made it a week I'd been here & I was still as clueless as how to find Inuyasha as I was the day I woke up here. I thought I had a few leads: people saying they saw someone just like me somewhere recently, only to find out that person was too old, too young or too...feminine to be Inuyasha & I even heard some men discussing a, "puppy ear'ed boy" causing trouble in the near-by bar but when I went to said bar & asked the bartender had he seen a puppy ear'ed young man of about six feet in height with golden eyes he shook his head.

'Inuyasha...where are you? Are you here in this gated city or still out there, in danger?'

I spent the following weeks getting to know my environment. The city was large but you could only walk around it for so long until you grew bored of it. Sometimes I found myself wishing I could leave the gates, just for a little while but I had a feeling that if I left these gated walls I wouldn't be let back in.

When I finally got a job, working as a fireman (apparently there were frequent fires around the city), I could afford to go out in the city, roaming the bars, searching the streets, trying to pick up any hint of Inuyasha. Every once in a while Miroku or Sango would tag along, occassionally trailed by Kagura who would just give me these smoldering stares as if she was trying to read my mind.

One night, Miroku, Sango, Kagura & Kagome & I were at the bar. They were eating while I just settled for a margarita. I stirred my drink absentmindedly, only half listening to the conversation & ignoring Kagura's staring. One day I'd have to ask her what her problem was. It wasn't like she was glaring exactly. More like she was just trying to seduce me.

"Oh yeah & we got a new guy at work today" Miroku said, popping a French fry into his mouth, "He's cool"

"You should invite him out with us next time" Kagome said.

Everyone pretty much knew that Kagome was immediately interested in a new guy hanging out with us just in case he was handsome & date-able. Miroku just nodded & sipped his beer.

"How is work, by the way? I hear they have raised your protocols" Sango commented.

The young man nodded again. "Yeah. The walls need to be oiled again & the sky-seeker spotted a horde out in the distance so we're being pressured to reinforce the whole wall in preperation"

The whole table fell silent as tension hung in the air. A horde? Was it like the horde Inuyasha & I saw that day on the highway? Was it more than that or less? They had to know they were approaching a gated city & they'd get aggressive in order to feed. That thought had my stomach sinking.

"You...don't seem worried" Kagome said in a small voice

Miroku shrugged one shoulder, finishing his beer. "I mean, it's going to take them at least five days to get here & the wall would've been long finished by then. It's not like I don't feel a sense of anticipation but nah, I'm not nervou-"

"What the fuck?"

While Miroku had been talking I'd looked up at one of the bar's many flat screen TV's hanging from the ceiling. I stood up from the booth & went to the closest one, ignoring the others' calling out to me, impatiently waving at the bartender to turn the volume up.

"...Yesterday afternoon. Police are looking for a young man, believed to be a hanyou of about six feet in height with silver hair & ears on the top of his head. If you have any information please contact the local police" the news reporter said, "We will show you the video once again"

By this time I noticed I was breathing hard & my claws were digging into the bar.

'Please don't be...please, please, don't be...'

A blurry video popped up of a slender man in a black hoodie, the hood pulled over his face & dark sunglasses on, his arm stretched towards the cashier behind the counter of what looked like a gas station. They exchanged a few words, the man in the hoodie gesturing aggressively until the cashier pulled out a shotgun & the man jerked back in surprise, causing his hood to fall & his hair & ears to be revealed.

'No, please don't be him...it can't be...'

As the cashier shot, the man ducked, barely dodging in time but his sunglasses were shattered, revealing his face.

& then Inuyasha lashed out, decapitating the cashier before sprinting out of the door.

'Inuyasha, you idiot!'
