A/N: Ok, really need to find a title.
Disclaimer: No, I do not own the complete stud Inuyasha, nor will I ever, because a) I can't draw and b) I don't have enough money to buy it.
Previously, on To Be Announced: "Not a bad place. Ok, I'll come." Replied Inuyasha to Miroku's earlier question. "But first, sleep." One by one, the four dropped off into sleep under the shady tree, Kagome last, after she was sure she had brushed Inuyasha's hair back to it's usual silky perfection.
To Be Announced
Chapter Two
On Saturdays
Nightfall found Inuyasha and Miroku looking gorgeous and hyped up on lots of coffee. Miroku was admiring himself in the mirror, making sure everything was perfect. Inuyasha, however, was curled up on his bed, reading the fourth Harry Potter book.
"Dude, what are you reading?"
"Harry Potter."
"Isn't that a kid's book?"
"No."
Miroku rolled his eyes. Inuyasha hadn't even looked at him. "C'mon, we're gonna be late." Inuyasha looked up at him this time. His face held an expression of annoyance.
"Fine." He drawled, marking his place with a strip of paper and rolling catlike off his bed. Miroku grabbed his jacket, Inuyasha pulling his on already, and left the dorm.
The girls were waiting at the club when the guys got there, sitting at a table in the back. Both of them sucked in breaths at the sight of them, before turning to each other and grinning.
"I love it when they dress up." Kagome bit her lip, enjoying the sights.
"Especially like that"
"Yup."
"Konbanwa." Said Miroku, coming up and kissing Sango's hand. Inuyasha just shook his head at him.
"Hi." Kagome laughed at her hanyou.
"Hi."
"What's to drink?" Miroku asked, looking around. Sango and Kagome grinned at him.
"I'll have a cosmopolitan."
"Long Island Tea."
"Planning on getting severely drunk, K-girl?"
"Yes. Now go Miroku. I'm thirsty."
"Right. Inuyasha, come with. I only have two arms." Inuyasha followed Miroku to the bar.
Sango and Kagome relaxed and listened to the local band that was playing. It was too mellow and pop-like for Kagome's taste, but Sango had no problem with it. She swayed a little in her chair, closing her eyes.
Inuyasha and Miroku came back, bearing alcohol. Inuyasha set down what was possibly the most alcoholic drink ever in front of Kagome, before sitting down with his own more simple spiked orange juice.
Sango calmly sipped her pink drink, and Miroku had a couple shots of Tequila.
Ten minutes later, Kagome was giggling like a madwoman. It contrasted with her severe look. She was a black leather zip-up vest and some black low rider pants, leather as well. Her eyes were heavily lined, and she wore enough lethal jewelry to kill Inuyasha. Her hair was pulled up, albeit very untidily, into a bun. Factor in the drunken laughter, and she was definitely a littleodd looking.
"Ooooh!! Finally a good band! C'mon, this song rocks!" she got up clumsily and dragged a tipsy Sango with her onto the small dance floor.
Follow me into the night
Darkness blankets us
Howls sound piercing the silence
And we are the light
Running fast through a fairy tale
Dark woods
Feel cold air on my skin
We will not fail
Full moon is shining down
Where we've been
They say
Why do we so often stray
We've made our way through heaven and hell
And these days pass by
As we run through wood and dell
Unable to cry out
We abandon our lives
Wandering to the ends of our fairylands
Shutting off the way back home
Hiding it behind the sands
Our hearts are still left in reality
Hidden
We want not to search
Only to lose ourselves in our own little worlds
These places we built
To save us from life
We leave them to vanish
Into the infinite darkness
Follow me into the night
Darkness blankets us
Howls sound piercing the silence
And we are the light
The haunting melody and the heavy rock beat faded, leaving silence only for a few seconds before another song started up. Kagome came back to the table, head a little cleared by the booming bass and head banging she had done. Sango followed, shaking her head a little.
"Have fun?" asked the silver haired hanyou.
"Huh?"
"I said, did you have fun?" Inuyasha spoke a little louder. Sango shook her head at him, motioning to her ears.
"I had her a little close to the speakers." Kagome explained.
"How is it you can hear?" asked Miroku curiously.
"Practice."
It was getting late. The group had danced and relaxed and drank themselves late into the night, finally plopping down into the chairs at their table.
"I need some air." Said Kagome after a moment before getting up and heading for the back exit. About 30 seconds after she left, Inuyasha also rose, giving the same excuse as Kagome to his friends. He wasn't sure they heard him as they both were slumped on the table. In fact, they were very comically slumped. So much so Inuyasha giggled at them. Shaking his head, it registered somewhere that he must've had a lot to drink, considering it was hard to get him drunk. Blinking, he pushed his way out to Kagome.
Kagome stood outside, breathing in the fresh air happily. Hearing a scuffle around the corner in the alley, she frowned. Following the sound, she came upon a terrifying sight. A man was slumped against the alley wall. Another man stood over him, quietly looking. They were backlit by the streetlamps at the other end of the alley, so Kagome could only see the men's sillouhettes. Suddenly, the one standing brought out a gun, cocked it and shot the other man point blank.
Inuyasha had just stepped outside when he heard the gunshot. His head clearing amazingly fast, he raced around the corner, smelling blood and freaking out as images of Kagome dead and bleeding filling his head. As he turned into the alleyway, he caught a quick glimpse of a man's sillouhette looking towards him before taking off. But that was immediately pushed to the back to his mind when he saw Kagome, standing there, shaking. He could suddenly smell the waves off fear coming off her.
He noticed she was looking at something. Following her gasp, he was filled with dread. There was a man slumped against the wall. He was what the blood scent was emanating from. His eyes widened in realization. Kagome had just witnessed a murder. Kuso.
Coming up to her, he pulled her into his arms just as security guards came rushing out of the club.
Kagome stood frozen to the spot. She couldn't seem to wrap her mind around the fact that she had just seen someone killed in cold blood. She kept expecting to see the man get up and walk towards her. She barely noticed when the other man ran, looking at her first.
Then she felt warm arms wrap around her, holding her tight as she began to cry, not even registering the fact that guards were beginning to question her. The man looking at his attacker, the man's body jumping as he was shot and the gunshot kept repeating in her head until she finally blacked out.
