Previously, on Punk Mikos and Demonic Preps: Later that night, Inuyasha woke with a start. Something was outside and Inuyasha didn't like it. He moved into the hallway outside Kagome's room. Sitting down into a fighters night position, he fell asleep, his last waking thought to protect Kagome.

Chapter Eight

Hear The Call Of the Music

Kagome's alarm clock woke her the next morning. Grumbling curses, she opened her door to go to the bathroom. She nearly jumped out of her skin when she saw Inuyasha sitting outside her door, sleeping soundly.

"Inuyasha!" She said loudly.

"Ngh." Was her only response.

"Inuyasha, get up, you baka!" She practically yelled.

"Nope. Don wanna." Kagome peered closer. He was still asleep. She pulled one ear up and shouted into it.

"INUYASHA!" With a yelp, Inuyasha was awake and standing in 3 seconds flat.

"Aaah! What was that for?!?" He looked at her with wild eyes.

"You wouldn't get up." Kagome said nonchalantly. "Now go downstairs, I'm taking a shower. There's food in the fridge if you want breakfast." And she pranced into the bathroom, leaving a sleepy and confused hanyou in her wake.

About 30 minutes later, a clean Kagome walked into the kitchen to find a sleeping hanyou at her kitchen table. She sighed and pulled his ear.

"Yii!"

"C'mon, dog boy, school. You remember school?" she asked. Inuyasha yawned and nodded. They walked out the door together and set off for school.

"Kagome!" Eve rushed up to Kagome before class. "Hey woman! Whas up? I saw you walk her with Inuyasha. Soo, what were you two doing last night?" She wiggled her eyebrows. Sango came up behind her and smacked her in the head.

"Ok, first of all, OW!! And second, OWW!!"

"Oh, shut up." Eve shut up, glaring good naturedly. "As much as I think it was rude to come up and start asking questions-"

"Oh, you SO do not."

Sango smacked Eve again.

"What's with the smacking Eve today, huh? Is it 'Smack Eve Day' and nobody told me or what?"

"AS I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, what's the deal with Inuyasha? You did walk with him to school. And I know for a fact that he lives in the opposite direction." Kagome blushed.

"He, uh, sorta spent the night."

"WHAT?!?!?" shouted Eve and Sango in unison. Eve pretended to faint, while Sango looked shell shocked.

"Not THAT way, you idiots, get your minds out of the gutter." Eve looked confused. "It started to rain and my house was closer. So he spent the night cause the storm didn't let up till much later."

"Oh, yeah. My mom told me something about a storm. Said she couldn't sleep a wink."

"Eve, you could sleep through a tsunami." Sango said exasperatedly.

"Yeah, you're pwobably wight." Sango and Kagome rolled their eyes.

Inuyasha had been avoiding Kagome, which was kinda difficult since they had a lot of classes together.

Miroku wouldn't shut up about it. He teased Inuyasha to no end about walking up to the school with it's resident bitch. So Inuyasha went to his last resort.

"Yeah, well, at least it's farther than you and Sango have gone." Ahh, blessed silence. He let his mind drift during study hall. He had the vague feeling something was wrong. There had been somethingÉout-

side, something sinister. Something familiar. He shook his head. He was just imagining it.

"So?"

"She was there."

"Well, yeah, she lives there now. And?"

"And we go through with our plan. He is of no use to us. We can dispose of him quickly enough."

"But his nature.."

"Is no match for us. Are you having doubts?"

"No."

"Good. Then it is time to start."

Kagome was excited. Sango had managed to snag tickets to the club Womb. Sango, Eve and herself were going on a girls night out to unwind and relax. School had been really taxing on the three girls. They were out shopping at the moment, for new clothes they could go to the dance in.

"Ooooh, look at this!" Eve was pointing to a shredded green ballerina dress with chains all over it. It was about knee length and the bottom and been artfully torn and ripped. The straps had ragged ribbons hanging off them. "I have to try it on!" Eve practically ran to the dressing rooms. Sango and Kagome stared.

"She's really weird."

Eve came out a couple minutes later wearing the dress. It fit her perfectly, accenting her curves in all the right places. It flowed like water over her body. The silk seemed to meld itself with her, moving like a second skin.

"If I pair this with my biker boots and have an armbands on one wrist and a black glove on the other, I will be so drop dead gorgeous even Inuyasha will stare!" Eve mused aloud. Kagome blanched.

"Inuyasha's going?"

"Yah, Miroku told me. He and Inuyasha are going too." Sango blanched this time.

"Miroku's going?"

"What is up with you two?"

"Nothing!" They said in unison. Eve rolled her eyes. "Whatever. I'm buying this dress." She sauntered off to change.

Kagome and Sango were both lost in thought. Miroku was coming? Great. He'd probably grope her to no end, the lech. But, she kinda liked him. He was cute, charming, funny, nice (when he wasn't being perverted). 'Oi! What the hell am I thinking?' Sango shook her head and began looking for a dress. Kagome's thoughts were along the same lines. How was she supposed to act? The most popular boy in school had stayed overnight at her house. Didn't mean anything to her, but everyone else in school seemed to think it was sacrilegious or something. And now he was going to be there on girls night. Well, she just wouldn't let him interfere. She joined Sango in looking for the perfect outfit.

Several hours later, the girls were set. Eve was in her previously mentioned outfit. Sango was wearing a full tulle and chiffon skirt that ended just below her knees, with a black lace up bodice that had silver leaf designs on it, black stiletto ankle boots and a pretty necklace of a fairy hanging round her neck. He hair was done up in a complicated knot with a few tendrils hanging down.

Kagome was wearing a tight red shimmery dress that glinted in fiery colors when she moved. It had several layers, the first stopping mid thigh the next at her knees and the last and mid calf. There was a slit up one side, reaching to the lowest part of her thigh, exposing a nice slice of creamy skin. She wore black buckled boots with it and two fingerless gloves. She had wrapped a dark red scarf around her neck and had temporarily affixed a couple chains around her waist. A silver chain around her neck held a little vial decorated with a vampire, full of red glitter. All three girls' skin glowed with the shimmer they had applied. In the dark their smoky eyes and blood red lips would look dangerous and tempting.

The triumvirate made their way through the crowd in the club, aiming for the dance floor. Once there they moved together to a slow song by Utada Hikaru. Sango and Eve danced temptingly towards random boys at a song change. Kagome remained alone, dancing by herself. She accepted it when strong arms enveloped her, a hard body moving against her own. She didn't care who it was. She let herself go free.

It had taken all Inuyasha had not to gape at the girls coming through the door. He could barely recognize them. Inuyasha had had to restrain Miroku from jumping over to Sango. It was hard enough to restrain himself. Kagome looked beautiful. Hell, they all looked gorgeous. But she shone in a way that tugged at him. His hands went lax, letting Miroku go, as he watched Kagome. He immediately went over to Sango and began dancing with her. She didn't know who it was, obviously, because if she did, Miroku would be unconscious. He watched the American redhead, Eve, go off to dance with someone, leaving Kagome alone. He watched her. She soared in the music. It pulsed in her veins. He found himself moving towards her, wrapping his arms his arms around her and dancing reveling in her smell, the smoothness of her soft skin. She accepted him and let herself move with the music. Inuyasha thought that no one could ever be as wonderful as Kagome. Her aura called to him, wrapped itself around his. She danced, this creature of the night, moving against her unseen partner. Life was so much easier when you danced. Problems melted away into the sea, forgotten.

The two partners danced in the shadows, forgetting reality, moving into a dream world where only the music waited for them, caressing them like a lover.
