Chapter 1

*I do not own the story 'Little Red Riding Hood' in any of its forms or Inuyasha*

...

Once upon a time there was a dear little girl who was born in a small village. She was loved by everyone who looked upon her. But the one who adored the girl most of all was her grandmother. She gifted her beloved grandchild with a little riding hood made from red velvet. It suited the girl so well that she would never wear anything else; so she was given the title, 'Little Red Riding Hood.'

"They are calling for her! The child!" the distressed woman shouted.

"The old witch and her daughter and her granddaughter have cursed us all!" cried a field worker.

"Walking on two feet like us!" she ran from person to person with her story. "Their mouths opening and speaking words!"

"What do they say?" asked a farmer clutching the women's shoulders.

Eyes gaping open with the constant buzz of fear darted around.

"Little Red...Little Red... they whisper in a bone chilling melody." She pushed away and wrapped her arms around herself. "Little Red Riding Hood...we want her blood! Then they laugh!"

"They laugh?" mocked a woman.

"Walking like us, talking like us. Why cannot they then laugh like us?"

The woman did not reply.

"Then let us end their reign of black magic. And let them have her so their thirst will be filled. Our lives will return to the simple ways they were before."

"When? When will we hunt them?" A young and eager hunter questioned.

"The sooner the better," the mayor decided, stroking the masculine hair that had accumulated on his face from many years.

"The old woman lives high in the woods. We will need to act fast."

"Tonight then," the mayor told the crowd gathered in the hall. "It shall be tonight."
