Pure Heart

By, AvonaviChapter 1: Halloween Masquerade

"Holy freaking cow, no!" A distressed voice shouted from a dressing room.

"Oh, shut up Eri…we hate it as much as you do…I'm not wearing that!!" A girl named Yuka screeched at the top of her lungs.

A sigh came from Ayumi and she muttered something inaudible and then a "Why me?"

"It isn't that bad. I mean, we are girls right? Too much skin showing!! I no comfortable!! Too showy! Awkward!" ((By the way, the bad grammar is intended, so don't worry.))

"Shut up Kagome!!" All of the three voices shouted at the girl in the last dressing cubical.

In the end, the only one who got to talk herself out of a dress was Eri. She got to wear a tuxedo; causing Yuka hit her in the back of her head. "Ow! Hey! It's not my fault!" Eri complained.

"Who the hell cares? I'm pissed off!" Yuka shouted back.

"No fighting!" Ayumi and Kagome said at the same time.

"Jinx" Kagome said, "Soda…now."

"Damn."

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Well, those were the last four to get dressed up for the Halloween dance masquerade. The others were impatiently waiting for them, and unfortunately for the fortunate Eri, they began chewing her down into a corner because she didn't have to wear a dress.

"I'm sorry!!"

Of course they were forced to leave the dressing area because they were causing a scene. They had no choice but to go to the dreadful masquerade.

"Wow, since when were there this type of mansions in Tokyo? Eri asked.

"Since now I suppose." Kagome shrugged while Sakura, another friend of hers, was clinging to her like a puppy. "Sakura…off." She commanded, shoved Sakura off, and dusted off her red dress.

Sakura pouted and let go, "That's mean!" Sakura was the childish one of all of Kagome's friends, always afraid of everything and everyone, clinging to people, and a rather childish temper. Sakura had dark brown curly hair in low pigtails and wore a floral purple dress.

Kagome just rolled her eyes.

They all entered into the massive mansion and the parents went off towards the buffet table and left the poor violated teenagers in the ballroom.

"H-hey!" A girl named Rin, with her hair tied in a sideways ponytail in a yellow dress, exclaimed and reached out towards her father, "Where do you think you're going?"

The old man pointed towards the buffet table and said quite obviously and with enthusiasm, "Buffet." and left Rin with the rest of her friends. Rin of course, like the rest of her friends figured that the parents left them to dance on purpose.

"I aint dancing…" Yuka glared at a boy who tapped her on the shoulder, and he backed away slowly, frightened of her expression.

"Will you dance with me?" A French boy asked Eri, bowing.

"No." was the answer. Unfortunately for the fortunate Eri…well…was she even fortunate anymore? The boy dragged her off onto the dance floor.

"You are a beautiful boy." The French boy smiled, his pearly whites gleaming.

"Are you gay?" Eri shrieked, now officially freaked out.

"I, er… am going to the bathroom." One girl lied, slipping away into the darkness.

"Me too…" The rest of the friends went off too, leaving the oblivious Kagome and Sakura behind.

"Do they all have to go?" Kagome asked and Sakura just shrugged, not sure either. They both turned to see how Eri was fairing.

Poor Eri was forced to do the tango.

"You are an elegant dancer." The boy grinned with a rose between his teeth.

Eri's face was turning a bit green. 'I think I'm gonna be sick…I should have worn a damned dress!'

Kagome laughed a bit at her friend's tortured expression and turned to chat with Sakura when she felt a hand tap her bare shoulder. She turned around to see a tall boy with long white hair down his back. She also noticed the dog-ears on top of his head. Must be part of the costume. He had a black mask covering the top part of his face, above the nose and wore a tux. He smiled politely. "Will you care to dance?"

Kagome blushed a bit but admitted, "I don't know how."

"It's fine, I'll help. It's all in the leading." He grinned, but the grin seemed to be quite lacking and tiny. It was as if he was holding back from pulling his lips away from his teeth.

Kagome smiled graciously and took his black-gloved hand. She was surprised how strong his hand felt. It was like he was in complete control as he led her onto the dance floor, and she hoped her mother and grandfather weren't watching. Kagome tried not to mind the fact that the boy held her so close, but she failed miserably.

The boy seemed to have sensed her discomfort and smirked slightly, as if teasing her, and gripped her waist tighter and brought her a bit closer. No doubt, it was on purpose.

However, despite the uneasiness and his silent teasing, Kagome was surprised that with him, she seemed to have no trouble dancing, thanks to his leading skills.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

One of Kagome's friends, Sango, had returned from the 'bathroom.' She looked around and asked Sakura, "Where's Kagome?"

Sakura pointed towards the dancers.

Sango grinned and laughed. "I'm so going to tease her after this."

"Where is everyone?" Sakura inquired about the rest of their long lost group.

"Away…" Sango said off handedly, trying to keep Sakura from knowing that they were ditching the dance.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"You are not that bad at dancing." The boy complimented Kagome.

Kagome looked at him strangely, "But not that good right?"

The boy smirked to some extent, "Should I lie?"

"Forget it." Kagome pouted, but then she realized that the masked boy had golden eyes. "Wow, those are contacts right? And where did you get that wig? It looks so expensive."

The boy's lips twitched at a hint of a smile. "It is possible." There was some kind of humor in his eyes, as if he was enjoying an inside joke. Then someone shoved him forward and then he snapped over his shoulder rudely, "Hey! Just where the hell are you looking?"

Kagome saw Eri and the French boy behind him a bit. Eri seemed unconscious. The French boy smiled and bowed. "I'm sorry, Misure." He went on continuing the dance with Eri.

"Poor Eri, he's all over her…" Kagome giggled. She couldn't help but be a tad surprised when the silver haired boy snorted rudely. He was rather quite gentleman like before, despite the teasing.

When the boy caught Kagome staring at him rather shocked, he cleared his throat. "Forgive me, I was not expecting that…" His voice was rather forced. "Thank you for the dance, it was a pleasure, but I better go now." He bowed and left before Kagome could say anything. Kagome frowned, turned around and went back to Sango and Sakura.

"How was the dance?" Sango grinned, crossing her arms across her chest, having that look that Kagome knew too well.

"Strange." Kagome muttered, pretending not to have noticed Sango's teasing glare.

Sango's eyes widened a bit in surprise, but didn't go on further. Something was bothering her friend.

"Is Eri still dancing?" Kagome raised an eyebrow as she watched the French boy twirl Eri around.

"Yep." Sakura smiled.

"I'm thirsty, I'll get some water." Kagome went off to the buffet table to drink. The adults were off dancing in the ballroom, except for a few who didn't get enough of food. It wasn't long after Kagome drank one gulp when she felt goose bumps crawl up her skin suddenly. Something warm, wet and sticky sprayed onto her cheek and Kagome heard a loud thump beside her. She reached up to see what sprayed onto her cheek.

Blood.
