Blood Lust:
Prologue
"Kagome, you're late." A large, older woman shouts from behind the bar, hanging up beer mugs and glasses.
"I know Mrs. Uzami, but not by that much this time." Kagome pleads hopping over the bar, entering the room concealed behind ivory curtains. She runs through what seems like a maze of hallways, until she finds a door labeled Kittens.
Ms. Uzami shakes her head and smiles to herself. "Kagome."

As she opens the door, she is greeted by warm smiles and hellos. She goes to an empty seat in front of a large vanity mirror. While she hastily tries to pull her dress on, a familiar voice startles her.
"Hey, Kagome. Need a hand?" a female voice asks while pulling the dress down over Kagome's small frame.
"Yeah. Thanks, Yuki." Kagome replies while adjusting her dress in the mirror. Yuki looks her friend up and down and smiles.
"You look great." Yuki compliments on how the dress snugs tightly around her perfect curves. "It makes your legs look amazing."
Kagome smiles and turns back to her reflection in the mirror. She studies how the dress makes her thighs look smooth and creamy. She reaches to the dresser and applies her candy apple red lipstick, careful not to smear it. Afterwards, she grabs two black kitten ears and pins them perfectly down to her head. She pulls her hair out of its messy bun and shakes her head vigorously, perfecting her look.
Mrs. Uzami sticks her head through the door. "Kittens, on in five."
Kagome checks her appearance in the mirror one last before dashing out the door, strapping on her black stilettos.

On a deserted street near the club, two dark figures walk shadily across a rooftop.
"That was fairly enjoyable, don't you think?" says one figure, his violet eyes glowing in the moonlight.
"Feh. It was only feeding." the other replies his gold ones doing the same.
"You know what? I think someone needs a special treat."
"Like what?"
"Follow me." The first figure jumps off of the roof and lands perfectly on the ground. "Are you coming?"
The one on the rooftop swiftly follows. As the two figures round a corner, the one leading suddenly stops, and his eyes fade to brown. The golden-eyed figure, does the same, his long tresses flowing in a sudden breeze.
As the formerly purple eyed man walks toward the entrance, the other interjects.
"Where are we Miroku?"
Miroku pauses for a moment before smirking. He opens the door. "Inuyasha, welcome to Kat and Mouse."
Before Inuyasha could protest, Miroku was already gone. As he walks through the entrance, his long ebony tresses glimmers in the dim club lights. He makes his way through the large crowds to a waiting Miroku at a table near a stage.
"Took you long enough." Miroku says before slurping a swig of beer.
"Feh." Inuyasha turns his attention to a fairly plump man on stage bellowing into the microphone. He leans back in his chair, propping his feet upon the table.
"Attention, now for what you've all been waiting for." He pauses for a breath. "Kat and Mouse proudly presents, the Kittens!" He practically runs off of the stage as the enormous crowd of mostly men began hooting and hollering like a pack of wolves.
"Miroku, what is this?" Inuyasha is ignored by his friend.
As soft music begins to play, the crowd grows eerily silent. Inuyasha stares in awe when about fifteen girls appear from behind the large wall of curtain dressed in the most inappropriate ensemble. The girls wear short hot pink dresses, with white kitten ears atop their heads. He looks to his side to see his friend goggling the girls. His attention is drawn back to the females on stage when loud, vivacious music is blasted through the speakers. As if on cue, the women on stage begin to dance in a provocative manner.
Inuyasha stares bewildered. How can human women subject themselves to this?
A suddenly as the music started, is stops, leaving the girls to accept their applause. The plump man runs back on the stage, looking out of breath.
"Give it up one more time for the Kittens!" He turns to the women behind him. After a moment of applause, the man begins to speak again. "Now, for the moment of anticipation. It's our best, brightest, most alluring Kitten, Kagome!" Every man within hearing distance leans forward in their chair (A/N: Except Inu).As soon a Kagome steps foot on stage, the crowd goes wild. While the man runs off stage once more, the other girls move to the back of the stage as Kagome takes her spot in front, for her solo dance. The music bursts through the speakers, and the solo dancer begins shaking her hips violently and does vulgar movements. As she does her sixty-second dance on stage, Inuyasha is disgusted.
He shakes his head looking away from the girl on stage. Kagome glances through the crowd just in time to see some strange man looking away. Although she doesn't realize it at first, she stops dancing, and someone cuts the music off. The chubby man, once again, runs on stage and closes the performance off. After he turns the microphone off, he walks past Kagome and smiles.
"Good work up there."
Kagome nods and walks off stage, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. As most of the other girls walk and begin to waitress, Kagome and Yuki head to the bar. As the two walk pass Inuyasha, Kagome feels a strange chill go up her spine. She glances back, but they were gone.
"Kagome, what's up?"
Kagome shakes her head in doubt. "Nothing. It's just that some guy looked away while I was dancing."
"Don't mind him. It's just one dude." She comforts her long time friend, as they go back to their dressing room.
"Yeah, you're right." She shakes that eerie feeling away. But still, something is definitely strange about him.

Inuyasha and Miroku jump onto the roof of the bar.
Miroku smiles a pervert's grin. "My. That was a good show, was it not?"
Inuyasha rolls his eyes. "I'd say not. There is nothing good about women degrading themselves like that."
"Oh Inuyasha. Lighten up." Miroku sniffs the air. "I smell a good feed approaching."
"Go at it. I could care less. I'm not in the mood." Inuyasha turns around, as Miroku's eyes grow violet and brilliant.

Kagome and Yuki walk outside the bar, getting ready to retire to their dorm rooms. The girls round a corner and head for the bus stop. As they wait for their bus, the girls chat away.
"That exam was killer."
Kagome nods her head in agreement. Another strange chill shoots up and down her spine, only this time much stronger. She visibly tremors.
"Yuki, do you sense that?" Kagome looks to her friend, when she doesn't reply. "Yuki?" She waves a hand in her friend's blank, emotionless face. If it wasn't for the fact that Kagome could still see color in her pigments, she'd think was dead. Yuki stands mindlessly, and allowing her belongings to hit the concrete. She unconsciously walks down the street toward a dark alley.
"Yuki?" Kagome calls again. Why do I have this strange feeling that I should follow her?
Kagome rests her items on the bench behind her as she quietly follows her friend.

Miroku waits in a dark ally near the bar; Inuyasha jumps from the roof impatiently.
"Are you done yet?" Inuyasha snaps.
Miroku replies as calmly as humanly possible. "Be patient young grasshopper. Winter is on the arising."
Inuyasha doesn't get. "Feh. Whatever, just hurry up."
Just as he utters those words, Yuki appears in the alley way. She slowly walks toward Miroku. Miroku outstretches his jaws as if he's yawning. While doing so, his fangs grow out long, and sharp. When Yuki gets close to him, he bends he head over and…

Kagome goes to the alley, and gets another one of those spine-chilling tremors. Kagome hesitates and can't decide to turn the corner or to run. Something's definitely up…
Kagome slowly peeks her head around the corner, to see if her friend was alright. What she sees shocks and dismays her. Oh my God..
As Miroku sinks his needle sharp fangs into the side of Yuki's neck, Inuyasha senses someone else's presence. He quickly transform under the moonlight. His eyes grow bright gold, and his hair intensifies to a bright silver as the wind cascades it down his back.
In a heartbeat, he is standing beside Kagome. He hesitates for only a moment, before his eyes amplifies in brilliance causing Kagome's eyes to glaze over.
