It was just party, party, party. As per usual. Homework didn't matter. Friends didn't matter. Nothing else mattered. Only her. Like everyday since the beginning of his awakening. No more going through life all numb and senseless. He had something important to live for now. Nothing had been able to disrupt his five carefree months of bliss. "I fucking love you." He reminded her as they stared at another so pensively. Kagome smiled as they stood on that random street corner. "I know." She answered back with a sweet kiss. Usually she hated PDA but it was just so different with him. She wanted the whole world to see. But then he pulled back for some reason unknown to him. That whole thing about secret, singed her soul every now and the. You weren't supposed to keep them apparently. Or else she wouldn't feel so bad right? "What's wrong babes?" he asked caringly brushing a few stray hairs from her face. She shook her head. "I feel the E kicking in I think. Good shit." She lied throwing her head back for dramatic effect. "When were we supposed to meet the guys?" she asked looking across the street at the growing line for entrance into the nightclub. Some underground rave shit. Naraku pulled out his cell phone. He furrowed his brow. "Here they come now." He said spotting two out of three of his rambunctious friends. "Where's Koga?" he asked when the guys were finally in earshot. Inuyasha stared at him dubiously, lighting a cigarette. "His already inside fuck face. I know you guys are still being little bitches, but you should really keep better tabs on your best friend." He teased. "Yeah. Mine is right here." Miroku cosigned, throwing an arm over Inuyasha's shoulder. It was obviously still a touchy subject though. "Whatever." Naraku mumbled. "Party favors please?" Miroku held out his hand for the drugs he was promised. Naraku supplemented them. "Wow. Actually came through tonight." Inuyasha seemed genuinely surprised as they began to walk across the street towards the raging party. "Ten bucks a head for entrance." Naraku began subtly. "Sounds like Kikyo' going rate, huh Inuyasha?" he finished his joke of flawlessly. Miroku couldn't help but laugh. Kagome just kept her eyes straight ahead. "You're such a bastard. Fuck you." Inuyasha crossed his arms immaturely. He couldn't think of any clever quip to fire back with. "Lay off the acid maybe?" Naraku teased further giving his friend a playful shove. "Don't be such a pussy Inuyasha." A stern voice taunted him menacingly from a short distance. He turned around to be face to face with his older brother. "Shit. You really shouldn't sneak up on people like that." He grouched at him. Sesshomaru simply shrugged. "What's up man? Why are you here?" Miroku questioned as he fist bumped his brother by extension. Naraku nodded slightly. "Well I was paying a visit home from abroad, until my loving baby brother ditched me to come to some shitty rave." Sesshomaru spoke smoothly. And his eyes flickered over something familiar. It was Kagome. The same Kagome from that gorgeous month in Paris. "Abroad where?" Naraku pressed. Sesshomaru smirked. "Here and there." He said simply, sparing her. For now any way.
She should've known better. Knowing the luck she had she should of predicted one day her past would come back to haunt her. Didn't it always? She left America to escape the mess she created last year, and she left Paris to escape….Him. He still had that smug grin on his face. Like when she first met him waiting for that taxi in the pouring rain, though at the time she mistook it for charm. He was staring at her, through the crowds of people, and smog. She could feel his intense gaze. Her phone vibrated in her pocket. DON'T WORRY KAGOME, I WON'T TELL ANYONE YOUR SECRET. The text message from him read. Her hands were shaking. And before she knew it, she was outside, puking onto the pavement. "Bad trip?" a voice questioned, slightly disinterested. Kagome wiped the sweat from her face. "Yeah." She nodded solemnly, before walking back inside to find Naraku. She wanted to go home now.
