I know, I know, I didn't really think hard about the title, but I think it goes straight to the point P … no, wait, no it doesn't!

I had been wanting to write an Inuyasha fic for a looong time now (ok, 2 days….) but everything I came up with was way too serious (doesn't mean I'm not going to write them some day… I had some good ideas… like that one about Kagome carrying Naraku's child… I know, I know, too weird, that's why I didn't write it!) but then I remembered a pamphlet I got the other day about Halloween being satanic and yadda yadda yadda… it gave me some interesting ideas ) so here it goes… enjoy and review…

BTW, I'm going to write short chapters but I'm going to update quick! Promise!

All hollow's evening

Prologue: Spook me

It was that time of the year again. There was no movement in all the villages in the kingdom, everything was silent. But of course, Kagome's village had to begin cautionary measures late. AGAIN.

"Pass me that board!" that was all Kagome had been hearing since that morning. Her mother was quickly hammering nails to the planks protecting the windows and doors of their little house. Her grandpa was gluing little pieces of paper in the already sealed windows to protect them even more. He said they were 'spells'…, but Hell would freeze over before those damned papers worked. It was no use telling that to him though. He was on a mission.

Souta, Kagome's little brother, was locking away the animals. It was just as pointless as Grandpa's spells, though. They didn't even look twice at the cows, horses, or sheep, all they wanted was flesh. Human flesh. Of course there were the rare ones that were actually after human brains, fingers, or even mucous, but it was usually flesh.

Kagome was trembling from hair to toe as she carried boards from a pile at the side of her house to her mother. It was the same thing every year. She could even remember when she was 2 years old, a little girl and still frightened. She could remember the sound of hammering all over the village and the uncomfortable ambient. It hadn't changed at all. It was that time of the year again and they kept coming, sometimes to this village, sometimes to another. They would attack hundreds in one night. You'd think they'd just stop coming, get bored or something (considering this had gone on for many centuries now), or they'd take pity on the villagers and kill them all at once. But no, they only took children. Children AND virgins.

She had been quite happy to turn 17, thinking she'd be safe at last, only to realize that even though she wasn't a child anymore, she was still a virgin. She was still excellent prey. Just for that she'd have liked to have slept with any guy from the village. But, no, she was saving herself for marriage. Damn her conscience some times. She had to be a freaking puritan. What if she was killed tonight and she never got to experience her first kiss? Damn her conscience indeed.

It was getting dark and it only made her shake harder. "Everyone inside!" shouted the chief of the village. No one protested. Everyone was gone in a second, an like usual, Kagome's family was the last one to get inside. She felt her heart skip a beat when she saw her brother jumping excitingly.

"Do you think they'll come to the village tonight?" he asked his eyes wide with excitement.

"Let's hope not" her mother said. "They haven't come here in 8 years now, I don't expect them to come here again. I think they find the north villages much more exciting." Souta's eyes actually saddened and Kagome felt her stomach flip. That brother of hers! Just because he had only been a baby the last time those bastards came it didn't mean he could HOPE to see them just once. They were monsters. They were green with yellow spots, horns, fangs and spiky tails… Well, that was what everyone said anyway. She hadn't seen one ever and she didn't know someone who had.

The minute her mother opened the door to go inside, Buyo the cat ran to Kagome and rubbed against her legs happily. Well, she smiled, at least someone was oblivious to what was coming.

"Kagome, would you get the hammer from over the kitchen window?" her mother asked while entering the house.

"Sure" she replied and ran to the back of the house. She carried the hammer inside but not before noting how dark it was now. It just keeps getting better and better she thought it's only 6 and it's dark already! She knew they were close to winter, but this was weird…

Once she was inside her mother hammered the door closed with some nails. Useless, really, if they wanted to come in they'd come in, and everybody knew that. It just made them feel a little better to know they had done something to try to stop them.

The house was so dark Kagome couldn't see her own nose, not until her mother turned on the fireplace, anyway. They sat silently at the dining table in the kitchen, like every year, her mother pealing some apples to give to Souta while they waited patiently for dawn.

The 8 previous years had gone by too quickly for Kagome, heck, the 17 previous years had gone by way too quickly. But this night, this night alone every year, felt WAY too long. Unfortunately this was going to be the longer than ever before.

It was only 10 when suddenly a weird noise could be heard. Kagome's mom buried her nails in the table, her grandpa opened his eyes (he had been chanting) and Kagome's mouth opened in a silent scream. They knew those noises a little too well. It was the growling of an army, a demon army. And they were coming fast.

Before she could even begin to shake again her mother hugged her and Souta, making them be still. Souta was not so excited anymore, just hearing the growling had made him start weeping, and he was even more frightened when a loud scream from the house nearby ringed through the village. Kagome would have made fun of him if she wasn't so scared herself.

They could hear steps on the roof now, in the street, they could hear wood breaking, people screaming, more growling and evil laughter. They had come back, finally, after 8 year of peace and quiet, and by the sound of things they were bringing anything but peace and quiet with them. They were doomed and all they could do was wait and pray.

"Man, I hate Halloween." Kagome said to herself.
