Once they got home it was dark. There was no sound, no voices. Just dark silence... Where was Inuyasha and Kagome? Why aren't they home? They should have been home by now. Just what the heck is going on? They looked around the house but there was no sign of Inuyasha nor Kagome. Yasuo was starting to worry. Rai found a note and said "Yasuo! Look at what I found!" Yasuo took the note from her hand and read it. After he read it he let out a sigh as he said "they're gone... They'll be gone for over a week. At least they're alright."

That's what he thinks though. What he doesn't know is that they are in grave danger. Yasuo sat on the couch as he went through the messages. There was only one message on the machine and it played "hey Yasuo! It's me Roku! Dude I have a great gig for ya! My dad said that there's a costume party at the school! Well... I heard what happened and your uncle didn't kick you out so your still allowed to go back to school! He wants you to sing at the dance! But since it's a costume party you have to wear a costume! Bring Rai I think you two make a very cute couple! See ya later!" Beep!

Rai walked in as she said "are you going?" He sighed as he said "well... I have to figure out when the dance is... Than I have to find a good costume. Either that or I just put on a black wig like my father does and go to the dance wearing a costume... as long as I wear a wig..."

Rai nodded as she said "well give him a call." Yasuo sighed and dialed for his uncle. After the second ring a voice said "hello?" Yasuo calmly said "hey Uncle Shippo." Shippo calmly said "hello Yasuo. So your back!" Yasuo chuckled a bit as he said "yeah. I heard about that dance at school from Roku and he forgot to tell me the date. When is it?" Shippo happily said "it's in two days. I told Roku to tell you weeks ago. I guess he forgot. I should have known better than to trust Miroku's son. He has his fathers mind. Anyway I guess I should tell you this. I... well kinda told the students that InuTashino was going to sing at the dance but since your father is away I need you to sing. But we need you to use a different name and you need to wear a black wig like your father. And a great costume." (I forgot to mention this in Inuyasha the Singer. When he had a concert and it wasn't on the night of the new moon he wore a black wig and shades sorry ok back to the story)

Yasuo calmly said "I had a feeling that you would say that. Well I can borrow one of dad's wigs and I'll sing. I'll bring Rai too! It should be fun..." Than Shippo calmly said "yeah. Anyway you both need to be wearing costumes. Don't worry everyone will also be wearing masks so Rai should be alright. You don't have to wear a mask since you'll be wearing a wig to hid your silver hair." Yasuo agreed with that as he said "thanks uncle! See you at the dance!"

Than he hung up. Rai asked "so... we're going to a dance?" Yasuo nodded with a grin as he said "yup! Well lets get our costumes." They went to the room the was at the very back of the house and started to go through some of the old costumes Inuyasha used when he went to costume dances to sing.

two days later

It's been two days already and Yasuo was ready for the dance. As was Rai. Yasuo was a little nerves. This was going to be his first dance that he was going to sing at. His nerves were well... like a car wreck but way worse. Rai was still in her room getting ready and Yasuo was trying to hide his tail and ears. Just like how he always had too before they all found out that he was a demon too. But he didn't care.

Than he walked out of his room wearing a black wig, dark sun glasses, his costume was a black jacket with a white shirt and black jeans. In other words he dressed up a biker. He went to his music room to get his guitar. Just as soon as he left he saw Rai walking down the stairs wearing a long gown. She was dressed up as a princess and had on a matching white mask.

He just stared at her with a huge blush on his face. Yasuo couldn't believe how beautiful she looked. Rai stared at him as she said "what? Do I look bad?" He shook his head as he said "no... you look nice. We should get going." Than they walked out of the house and went to the limo. (Inuyasha's has two cars. One he uses for normal use and the limo for when he's going to a concert to sing)

Once they arrive at the school Yasuo could hear all of the students talking about how cool it was that 'InuTashino' was coming. But too bad for them he wasn't. Rai calmly said "I'll wait for you inside alright. Besides I heard that this was the biggest dance in history. Students from just about every school in the area are coming. I'll see ya later." Than she walked in. Yasuo walked to the back where his uncle was waiting.

Shippo saw him and said "alright Yasuo. Are you ready?" Yasuo nodded as he said "yeah. I"m ready. My stage name is going to be Yuudai." Shippo nodded as he said "that's a good name. Alright I'll announce your arrival. And remember. You have to follow your name so no one suspects anything. Alright." Yasuo sighed as he said "I get it already. Jeez." Than Shippo walked into the back and up to the stage.

He calmly said "attention students. I'm sorry to say but InuTashino won't be coming. But I got someone else to sing. His name is Yuudai! He is InuTashino's son and is a great singer. Let's give him a appals!" Than Yasuo walked out and saw everyone clapping. He smirked a bit as he said "hey everyone! It's great to be here! This is my first time singing for a school but I'm glad that t's here!" 'Not really... I don't like this school but of well.' He thought the last part but as long as it was in his head he didn't care.

He started to play his guitar with a calm expression on his face. Than when he got to the right note he started to sing.

"Just walk a bit further along the road like this, shoulder to shoulder
Counting the dreams that are becoming further away
Seeing the gradually lessening friends
At this moment, I am lost in the familiar streets
and created the other side of myself in the darkness

A yell of thirst,
as if piecing the heart already filled with depression.
I want to invite you to see this world with me.
Inside my heart are answers which no one else have.
Find the crucial key.
FLY AT HIGHER GAME

Together we cross countless sadness.
Never stopping, we seek the both of us on that day, until we become
apolegetic
If the times were resetm maybe we might still meet somewhere.
Until that day comes, never give up.

The gradually coldening thoughts,
no matter how I am unable to deny them
But a change to fall in love isn't a bad idea
Not worrying, not panicking
Praying faithfully
As if flowers will bloom inside the heart
JUST TAKE MY HEART"

Than he played the guitar a bit faster. He tapped his foot along to the beat. Yasuo stared at the audience as he played. After a few seconds the guitar sounds slowed down to a slow pace. Then they got a little faster as he kept singing.

"A yell of thirst,
as if piecing the depression-filled heart
I want to invite you to see this world with me.
Inside dreams are answers which no one else have.
You can trust me
JUST TAKE MY HEART
This journey continues..."

Everyone stared at him and clapped. He could hear some whistles and all he could do was smile. This was one of the best days of his life. He played some more songs until they all decided to play some songs by other people. Yasuo was allowed to take a break. He leaned against the wall watching everyone dance. He couldn't help but smile.

Than a girl walked up to him asked "excuse me Yuudai... But... will you dance with me?" He stared at her as he said "no." She growled as she said "why!? I'm the most beautiful girl here! How could you turn me down! We make a perfect match! Your related to InuTashino the most popular singer. I'm the most popular girl here! We're meant for each other!"

Yasuo stared at her as he said "that's just it. If I just showed up here with out you knowing that InuTashino was my father you wouldn't have noticed me. But since you do know that he's my father you would notice me. Besides I'm not interested." Than Rai walked up to him saying "hey Yuudai!" Yasuo stared at Rai as he said "hey. Ready for that dance Rai?" Rai nodded. He grabbed her hand and lead her to the dance floor.

As the music started playing Yasuo and Rai started to blush. Cause the music was a love song. Yasuo than smiled warmly at her and held his hand out for her to take it. Rai smiled back at him as she took his hand. He placed his other hand on her waist and she placed her other hand on his shoulder. This made them both blush since this was their first dance.

Uh...Again tonight there's the fleeting starry sky
Uh...The shining stars are hanging with wishes...

They swayed to the music. Rai stared at him but sadly she couldn't see his eyes. She stared at him as she thought 'will he still care for me... when he finds out what I was suppose to do?'

Although worries will always endure,
The door is opening
Walking, falling, you're the one that picks me up and gives me strength
So you'll become a proud star I'll sing
Now I wont do less than my best, I'll become stronger like...

Yasuo stared at Rai as he stared in her eyes. To him they sparkled in the lights that flashed in the room. He pulled Rai close as he said "great song huh?" She nodded as she said "yeah... Nice song."

Unswaying love, this important love
No one else is so precious
This night is surely uneasy but
We're the one that won't lose, but go on living...

Rai stared up at him and slowly reached for his shades. He grabbed her hand as they kept dancing. Rai asked "can you please take those off... Please. It's not like anyone is going to know it's you. They'll just think they're contacts."

Destiny is such a brutal thing
Can't we follow our expectations?
It's scattering, falling but this hand is here
I'm carrying painful secrets for you while I sing
Think of, believe, don't forget this wish

Yasuo nodded as he reached up for the sun glasses. He slowly pulled them off and placed them in his jacket pocket. He stared at her with his gold eyes with a big bright smile.

Because who will surely hide weakness
Aren't you definitely scared?
I'm sure I'll come to understand
We're the one that won't lose, but go on living...

Rai leaned her head on his shoulder as they danced. This of course made him blush. Rai asked "where did you learn to dance?" Yasuo calmly said "I don't. I just go with what comes to me. That's how I've always been. I see something and I learn it right away. But it also just comes to me even if I haven't seen it before." They kept dancing and Yasuo held Rai close to him for the rest of the song.

It was fleeting and no more...
There is no need for sadness

It was fleeting and no more, but
There is no need for sadness,
Though there are surely many obstacles
We're the one that won't lose, but go on living...

As soon as the song ended they stared at each other. Than he placed his shades back on and said "we should head back Rai. I don't want to stay here any longer or else they'll swarm us." Than just as he said that he was right. Everyone was starting to swarm both him and Rai. Yasuo and Rai ran to the limo and they drove off.

Once they got home. Yasuo opened the door for Rai. But before they could walk through the door Jake appeared. Yasuo growled as he said "what do you want Jake!?" Jake calmly said "you haven't told him have you Rai?" Yasuo stared at Rai and asked "what is he talking about?"

Rai didn't look at him. She couldn't look at him. Knowing that this was it. He was going to know and that he was going to hate her. Yasuo asked "what are you talking about Jake?" Jake calmly said "I'm here to tell you what Rai was really going to do when she met you. She was going to kill you."

Yasuo was in shock. He stared at Rai as Jake said "she was going to kill you. But she had feelings for you and erased her memories of her past. But her name and what she is. I guess she didn't want to tell you at all." Yasuo growled as he said "get lost Jake before I kill you!" Than Yasuo and Rai both walked in.

He said "Jake making things up like that! You trying to kill me? You would never do that!" Rai looked away as she said "Yasuo... I should tell you something." Yasuo stared at Rai as she said "Jake was right... I was sent to kill you. But when I saw you... How sad and distant you were from others... I knew that you were hurting deep down and I didn't want to make it worse for you. So... I erased my memories. I'm sorry."

Yasuo couldn't believe it. Rai the girl he loves was sent to kill him. He growled darkly as he said "you were sent to kill me!?" Rai stepped back as she said "I'm so sorry." Than the phone rang and Yasuo picked it up saying "hello?" There was a dark voice saying "hello Yasuo." His eyes widen as he knew this voice. The same voice that was in his nightmares.

The voice said "heh heh heh. I want you to come to the cave that is deep within the forest. Unless you don't want to see your parents again." Yasuo yelled "YOU HAVE MY PARENTS! I SWEAR IF YOU HURT THEM I'LL RIP YOUR VOCAL CORDS RIGHT OUT OF YOUR THROAT!" The dark voice said "don't worry. They'll live... for now. Now meet me at the caves tomorrow unless you want to see your parents dead."

Yasuo growled deadly as he said "fine. I'll come. I swear if I see them harmed than I'll make you regret it. Just who are you!?" The voice laughed as he said "my name is... Naraku!" Than the line went dead as Yasuo was in shock. He's heard stories about Naraku from his parents and how he was killed by them and their friends. But how was he alive? How did he survive? He guessed he'll find out soon enough. For tomorrow he was going o go and save his parents.
