[Rumors of a village tormented by an unnatural plague had reached them a few days ago, and though she'd worried at how to avoid contamination, she hadn't been willing to let the village fend for itself when it was clear that that's exactly what everyone else intended to do. If there was a chance some of the villagers could be saved, it was her responsibility to do what she could. But running into a plagued village without any idea what was going on was a stupid decision which is why they'd borrowed Kirara and had flown over said village, sharp eyes watching below for any useful ideas of what was happening. Apart from the sight of the fresh graves though, there was nothing.
As in, literally nothing. No one was there. It might have been possible that the majority of the villagers lay in sick beds, but Inuyasha's ears detected nothing and even if they had all died, the stench of the corpses would have reached him.
Kagome's frown deepened as they set down and sent Kirara off to a stream for water, and their impression was confirmed. There was not a single living soul left here in this village. Her brow furrowed as she knelt to examine a child's doll, hand hovering over it though she remembered at the last minute not to touch. When she stood, her brow dipped with worry and confusion and she shook her head as she stepped further into the town center, eyes roaming around.]
I don't understand...even if they'd all died, there should be bodies. What happened here?
