InuYasha and the gang partied until they were so drunk it hurt to think. Soon, everyone began to make his or her way to the dance floor. Sango grabbed Miroku who didn't seem to be arguing, while Rin ran off with Sesshoumaru. The only ones left sitting were InuYasha and Kagome and they were awkwardly ignoring this fact. Everyone had to suppress a laugh as they all watched as the two of them twiddled their thumbs.

Miroku finally gained enough courage and walked over to the two. He sat beside Sango's friend and smiled.

"Excuse me miss, would you care to dance with me?" Miroku asked bowing gentleman-like while holding back the chuckle he got from hearing InuYasha's low growl. Lucky for Miroku, Sango knew what he was up to or else he would've been in for the ass kicking of his life. She figured she'd let him sweat though.

'You better watch your hands, lech,' she thought and giggled at her own boyfriend's wandering hands.

"Oh I'm sorry Yasha. Did you want to dance with Kagome?" Miroku added his point reaching InuYasha and in return he received a smirk.

"Go ahead and dance with her. I'm not much of a dancer," InuYasha said. 'Miroku, you can't fool me. I know if you really wanted to dance with Kagome by yourself, Sango would be knocking the shit out of you right now.'

"So would you like to dance with me?" Miroku asked the young lady not removing his smile from his face.

"Sure, I'd love to dance," Kagome said standing up and taking the lech's extended hand. InuYasha sat there as stoic as ever as he watched the woman walk off with Miroku. He was soon greeted with a smiling Sango standing no less than a foot away from him.

"Oh, no you don't, Yasha. You're gonna dance with me, and I'm not gonna have any of that 'I'm not a dancer' crap," she said in a sort of threatening manner. InuYasha picked up the hint and rose to dance with his friend. She managed to pull him to the dance floor and she wrapped his arms around her waist.

"I'm guessing you didn't want to dance with me just for the sake of dancing," he said with hint of annoyance striking his face. She looked at him for a while and began to giggle.

"You guys are so obvious that it's not even funny," she stated still giggling at InuYasha's dense-headedness.

"What the hell are you talking about, Sango?" the man said still displaying a look of confusion and irritation.

"You and Kagome. I've seen the way you look at her when she isn't looking. It's apparent that you have feelings for her," she said peering into his amber eyes.

"Can we not talk about this, Sango?" InuYasha asked emotionlessly.

"Come on Yasha! Just because things didn't work out with that bitch..." Sango started.

"Don't call her that!" he said with pieces of anger and confusion crossing his face. 'Hold Up! Why are you sticking up for her?! She cheated on you for God's sake. Damn it! She causing me confusion and heartache even when she's not in my life. I bet she's in some cheap motel with some guy she doesn't even know. That Bitch!' InuYasha though to himself.

"Yasha? Are you okay? I'm sorry," she said bringing him back from his personal thoughts.

"Huh...Yeah, I'm good. I'm sorry for jumping off on you like that. I just forgot that I finally got her out of my life," he said bringing his gaze to Miroku slow dancing with the girl that resembled the Kikyou he fell for, not the one she became. She was so pure, even if she needed to learn to control her liquor. He felt part of himself melt away when she turned and looked at him. She smiled and went back to dancing with the lech.

He tried his best to bottle the emotions that he was beginning to burn a hole through his heart. She represented everything he could look for in a woman, but his soul was telling him it was too soon to love again. InuYasha shifted his gaze to see a concerned look on Sango's face.

"...InuYasha? Are you sure you're okay?" she asked quietly in his ears.

"I'm sorry Sango, but I gotta go," he said, and without hesitation, he made his way to the front entrance of the club. When he left, all the others gathered around Sango.

"What was wrong with InuYasha," Miroku asked and everybody nodded.

"I don't know, but I think he needs time to himself," she said and everyone nodded in silent agreement. Everyone else gathered up for one last dance and after that everyone left to return home.

InuYasha barged in to his apartment and flopped down on his sofa. He tuned his television on and watched as a couple in the romantic film vowed to be around forever.

"Keh. Promises like that only last as long as the person is interested. Then when they leave, you'll feel like I do now," he said as if he were talking to the very actors on he screen. When the couple drew in for a kiss, he turned off the television and went to his bedroom and prepared for bed. He lay there in his bed for hours awake before sleep finally came over him and he rested. In minutes, he was sleep and dreaming...

"What the hell? Where am I?" he asked aloud. InuYasha appeared in a dark room and couldn't feel anything. Soon, a light flashed and lit up a narrow passage. He stepped carefully as if one odd step would mean death. Ahead of him, he saw a door. When he approached the door, he felt a cold shiver linger on his spine. He reached for the doorknob and he felt the same eerie chills befall him again, but he continued until the door flung open. He walked in and heard the door close behind him. His mouth then fell open as he saw himself lying next to Kagome on his bed. They were talking but he couldn't hear anything, but that wasn't important for long when he saw the other him on the bed lean over and kissed Kagome. He was equally surprised when he noticed she was kissing him back. He saw them make their way down to the bed as the "other" him began lightly kissing on Kagome's neck. She grabbed at the sides of his shirt as he worked his way to her collarbone. He whispered something in her ear and she blushed as he continued the trail of hot kisses to the other side of her neck before capturing her lips once again in a hungry kiss. His tongue teased at her lips until she granted him entry and his tongue began to explore the unknown territory. She started to run a hand down his back as the kiss got more intense. Soon the positions were flipped, and Kagome was now lying on top of InuYasha. Their kiss was never broken during that movement and now she was beginning to feel incomplete when they finally broke for air. It wasn't a full second before Kagome was on top of him again as she let her hand run over his well-chiseled chest. He felt her touch and it was as if his whole body went numb at the new feeling. It was as if the people in the world at that moment, didn't even matter. The only ones that did were the two of them. His mind finally caught up and his eyes shot open as Kagome unbuttoned his shirt placing open-mouth kisses to his chest. He chuckled when she began to blow hot breath against it. It wasn't long before she came back up and kissed him voraciously again, but her dominance was ended when he flipped their positions again. He took advantage of her surprise at his speed and began kissing her neck again paying close attention to her collarbone and shoulders. Before he could stop it, his eyes lost their amber sheen and took on a blood-crimson appearance. Purple jagged stripes adorned his face, while his claws and fangs increased in size as well. He cocked his head and lunged forward sinking his teeth into the nape of her neck. She was so wrapped up in the pleasure of his touch that she didn't even feel the pain. The teeth marks instantly disappeared and were replaced by traditional mating marks. He returned to normal when a matching pair of marks appeared on the back of his neck. His fangs and claws retracted, his eyes returned to amber pools that shined greater than any gold, and the purple stripes that marred his face receded into nothing. He realized mentally that the mating had not been completed but was satisfied with the thought that others would know he was courting her and he would kill anyone who tried to take her away.

The rest of the dream was like heaven for InuYasha and he wished it would never end, but his wishes were disturbed when he heard the sharp shrill that was his cell phone. He walked over and looked at the caller ID. He flipped open the phone and sighed.

"What's up Miroku," he started.

"What was with the sudden retreat earlier?" Miroku asked curiously.

"I needed some time to think. Is that okay with you?" InuYasha barked back not realizing how harsh he was though.

"Okay. I think I got you. Are you going to be joining us tomorrow? Remember? We're supposed to go the premiere of that movie Sango was telling us about," Miroku said through the phone.

"I'll think about it. Who all is going?"

"Sango, Rin, Sesshoumaru, Shippou, you, me, and Kagome."

"I'll tell you tomorrow," InuYasha said conclusively.

"Fair enough. Now, I must go my friend. I have a date with a bottle of champagne and a beautiful lady," Miroku said lecherously through the other line.

"What did I tell you about that shit? I don't want to hear about your personal life. God! You're so retarded. Get help, lech!" InuYasha literally screamed and with that hung up the phone. On the other side, Miroku crawled back into bed with Sango after hanging up his phone.

"So is he coming tomorrow?" Sango asked,

"Yeah, he's coming," he said back turning off the lights and laughing lightly.

Back in InuYasha's apartment, he was having problems sleeping after his dream. The only thing on his mind was Kagome and for a weird reason, he felt a smile cross his face. He went to his television and watched a couple of movies until he passed on the couch.

'If only in my dreams...'
