A/N: I was planning on updating on the 10th (my birthday), but I got sidetracked. So, here's chapter five.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inu Yasha...
Chapter 5- Dates and History
"I've been invited to a party!!!" Yuka screamed excitedly as she burst through the front door of their hideout, waving a bright pink paper around.
"Yuka, do you even know what a party is?" Sango asked pointedly.
"Uh.... Nope! Not a clue!" Yuka chirped cheerfully.
"It's usually a gathering of people. These 'parties' sometimes involve drugs and alcohol." Ayame informed her. "They usually smell bad," she added wrinkling her nose.
"Who invited you anyway?" Kagome asked putting her laundry away. She saw Yuka's eyes light up. "Don't tell me it was-"
"HOJO!!!" Yuka screamed delightedly.
"When did he get a chance to ask you?" Eri wondered out loud.
"Hojo..?" Ayame snorted, ignoring Eri. "He wouldn't know what a party was if came up and bit him on the ass."
"Nuh uh! He said the party was at his house!" Yuka argued.
"That doesn't necessarily mean he knows what it is!" Ayame argued.
"Whatever." Nazuna said walking into the room. "Do you want us to go with you?"
"Count me out." Ayame stated. "Those parties smell."
"Oh, don't be a spoil sport Ayame!" Eri chided. "Let's just go with her!"
"Oh FINE!" Ayame growled.
"Sure. Thanks Nazuna." Yuka replied dreamily, oblivious to Ayame and Eri's exchange. "I have to go get dressed."
"Do we have to go too?" Sango asked Kagome dryly.
"'Fraid so." Kagome sighed. "We'd better get dressed if we are gonna go to this thing.
-sigh- I wish we could stay."
"Why can't we though?" Sango whined.
"'Cause she'll drag us by our ears if we don't go with her." Kagome pointed out flatly.

"Hey, man, should we go to Hojo's party?" Miroku asked. "I mean, there will be plenty of cute girls, and alcohol....hopefully..... and-"
"I'll go if it will shut you up." Inu Yasha cut him off.
"It will," Miroku assured him. "Now which jeans should I wear? The tight ones, or the extremely tight ones?"
"Eww yuck!" Inu Yasha replied disgustedly. "That was not a mental image that I needed!"
"No need to be rude, dude," Miroku pouted.
"But there's plenty of need to be rude, dude!."

Kagome exited her room wearing a blood red halter top that matched her eyes, and dark denim low-rise boot cut jeans. She looked to her right and saw Sango wearing a dark blue sparkly tanktop and a black miniskirt with ruffles. To her left she saw Yuka, wearing a light pink spaghetti strap halter dress. Directly across from her she saw Ayame's door open, revealing Ayame, who was wearing light blue baggy pajamas and a black tight tee.
"Hey where's Eri and Nazuna?" Sango asked no one in particular.
"There is no way in hell I'm going to a party of any sort like this!" came an enraged shout from behind Eri's closed door.
"But Nazuna you look so cute and-" Eri started.
"No buts," Nazuna cut her off. "I'm changing right now!"
Nazuna walked out of the room wearing a bubblegum pink dress that resembled a frosted cupcake.
"Don't say a word." she threatened as she walked over to her room.
They all gazed at the closed door incredulously. "Err...." Kagome said. "Umm..." Ayame agreed. "Yeah...." Sango added.
4 minutes later she walked out of her room wearing an icy magenta strapless mid-calve length dress.
A minute later Eri walked out of her own room wearing a pair of tight fitting pleather (plastic leather) pants and an emerald green spaghetti strapped shirt with strings zigzagging across the back.
"I think we are ready to go," announced Yuka.
"The sun is down right?" Sango questioned.
"Yes. Should we fly or run or-"Eri was cut off.
"He only lives a couple minutes away. See the address? Now let's go."
"Aye aye, mon capitonne." Kagome saluted putting on a fake French accent.
"Whatever." Sango said playfully pushing Kagome out of her way.
-()-
"Inu Yasha!" Miroku scolded. "Why aren't you ready?"
"What makes you think I'm not ready? Hmn?" Inu Yasha retorted.
"Actually, I don't know." Miroku admitted.
"Let's just get going." Inu Yasha stated climbing into the driver's seat of his car. "We don't want Hobo to think we hate him or anything."
"No," Miroku replied shaking his head, and hiding a snicker. "We totally wouldn't want that."

"Hello girls, I'm so glad you could make it to my party." he greeted politely. "Are you feeling any better Kagome?"
"Yes I am feeling much better Hojo, thank you." Kagome replied sweetly.
"Hi Hojo." Yuka said in a sickeningly sweet voice leaning up and giving him a quick peck on the cheek.
"I think I'm gonna be sick." Ayame whispered to Kagome, gagging.
"You girls can go into the party room. That would be the third door on the right down that way." he said pointing down the hall then placing an arm innocently around Yuka's waist. "Everyone else should be in there dancing."
"Wow. This place is huge." Sango commented quietly to Kagome, as they walked down the hall.
"Yeah." Kagome agreed "It kinda reminds me of our old house."
"Yeah. Creepy." Sango replied.
"Is that my lovely Sango I hear?" came the unmistakable voice of Miroku.
"Eeep! Hide me Kagome!" Sango squeaked ducking behind Kagome.
"Hello Miroku, Inu Yasha." Kagome greeted, "Yes that is your lovely Sango, she's right here Miroku." Sango glared at her.
"Shall we enter the party, my darling?" Miroku asked offering his arm to Sango. She just slapped it away, still glaring daggers at Kagome.
"Umm... guys? I don't wanna interrupt or nothing, but if this was a party, wouldn't there be loud....like.....extremely loud.... music?" Nazuna asked.
"Yeah...wait a minute! It's way too quiet to be a normal party." Ayame answered. "What's wrong with this picture?"
Inu Yasha held the door open for them as they entered the third door on the right...and found a room with approximately 10 people in it in total. They were listening to classical/opera-ish music very quietly. Most of them had bored/tortured looks on their faces.
"Oh my gawd!" Eri shouted. "You poor people! You all look really bored!" She was always one to state the obvious.
They all looked at her with deadpanned expressions.
"Get us out of here man!" Kouga shouted at Inu Yasha.
"Why did you come in the first place?" Inu Yasha retorted.
"Hojo promised that there would be pretty girls and alcohol, and-"
"Why does this seem familiar?" Inu Yasha muttered shaking his head.
"You do realize that the doors are unlocked right?" Ayame asked.
"Yeah, of co- wait a minute! They're unlocked?!?!" Kouga shouted.
"You're almost as stupid as you look wolfboy." Ayame responded.
"I like you," Kouga said, "You've got spunk. I'm gonna make you my woman."
"Oh joy." Ayame stated.
"Let's go out to supper." Kouga told her. "I'm starving."
"No thank you." Ayame said in a deadly but polite voice. "I'm not hungry."
"I'm buying." He replied oblivious to her threatening voice.
"You're not gonna listen to me are you?" he shook his head. "Well fine then. Let's get this over with."
"Have fun, Ayame." Sango, Kagome and Nazuna chorused simultaneously.
"Grr." Ayame growled at them as she and Kouga went out the door at the far side of the room.
"Hi, I'm Shippo." said an orange haired teenager that had walked up to Nazuna.
"I'm Nazuna." she replied. "Nice to meet you."
"Would you like to come with me for a walk?" Shippo asked.
"Sure. Buh bye girls." Nazuna said waving at Kagome, Sango, and Eri.
"I like your ears. I think they're cute." they heard Nazuna say as her voice drifted out of hearing range.
"Well I'm officially bored." Inu Yasha announced.
"It doesn't take much to make you bored does it?" Kagome questioned.
"Nope." he answered truthfully. "Wanna go for dinner?"
"I'm not really hungry, but I'll keep you company." she replied.
"Hey Kagome! Don't leave me here with the letch! Kagome?" Sango shouted.
"Which letch are you referring to? Who would dare bother my precious Sango? I'll kick his ass!" Miroku exclaimed.
"Really you'd do that for me?" Sango questioned sweetly.
"Do what?" Miroku asked.
"Kick your own ass." Sango replied. "And stop groping mine!" she added, slapping him across the cheek.
"Ow." was Miroku's ever intelligent reply.

"So Inu Yasha, where are we going?" Kagome asked as she got into the passenger seat of his car.
"Just a place I know." he replied.
5 minutes later......
"We're here!" he exclaimed happily.
"This is a nice little place." she commented as he held open the door for her. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." he replied.
"Table for two, non-smoking please." Inu Yasha said politely to the hostess.
"Sure thing." she said winking at him, and shooting a quick glare at Kagome. "This way please."
"Your server will be right with you. Here are some menus to look at." the hostess said going back to her place at the front door.
"Watcha gonna order?" Kagome asked.
"Ramen." Inu Yasha answered.
"Ramen? What's that?" she asked scrunching up her nose.
"You've never heard of ramen?-gasp-"he said over dramatically. "It's food."
"Oh." Kagome replied.
"Hello, I'm Youshi and I'll be your server this evening, what can I get you folks?" asked 'Youshi'.
"A glass of water please." Kagome replied.
"5 bowls of chicken ramen." Inu Yasha responded
Kagome shot him a funny glance.
"What? I'm a growing boy." He stated.
"Uh.... I'll be right back with your order...." Youshi said, leaving the table.
"....." Kagome said intelligently.
"So, how did you and your friends all wind up having that same sensitivity to sunlight thingy?" Inu Yasha asked casually.
"Uh....well.....we....uh met at the hospital." Kagome stuttered, caught off guard by the question.
"Cool." he replied noting her stuttering-ness.
"Actually, not really. Because of our sensitivity to sunlight we were unable to grow up like normal children. Especially me, because of my red eyes." she lied, hoping he couldn't detect it.
If he had, he didn't mention it.
"Here is your food sir, and your glass of water miss." Youshi, their server, said as he set the ramen and glass of water down on the table.
"So, Inu Yasha," Kagome started conversationally, pretending not to be appalled by his eating habits, "Why do you attend night school?"
"Well, I don't know if you'll believe me, but Miroku and Kouga and I are vampire slayers."
She took a sip of her water, and as soon as that sunk in she started choking on the water.
"Are you okay?" Inu Yasha asked concernedly, patting her on the back.
She nodded. "Did you just say vampire slayer?"
"Yes, is that a problem?"
"No, not at all, I just thought that vampires were a myth, that's all." She stated hurriedly.
"Oh no, they're very real," he assured her. "Hey, are you okay? You look paler than usual."
"Well I have a bit of a headache. Could you take me home?" she asked pretending to sound faint.
"Sure, just let me get the bill." Inu Yasha replied. "Oh waiter, could we get the bill?"
"Certainly sir, here you go."
-()-
"Thank you for taking me home Inu Yasha, I'll see you tomorrow at school." Kagome said as she waved at him.
"Yeah see ya." he replied waving back.
She walked up the path, and when she was sure he was gone she turned around and started walking to her real 'house'.
"Hey Sango, did everyone get home alright?" Kagome asked, when she opened the door and saw Sango.
"Yeah, but we got a problem though.... Yuka got a little bit hungry, and now Hojo's a vampire." Sango replied gravely.
"Oh I've got some bad news too.....just let me think......" Kagome said thoughtfully.
"KOUGA JUST TOLD ME HE, INU YASHA AND MIROKU ARE VAMPIRE SLAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!" Ayame shouted as she burst through the door.
"Oh, I got it!" Kagome said snapping her fingers. "Inu Yasha told me he, Kouga, and Miroku are vampire slayers."
"That's what I just said!" Ayame cried indignantly.
"Oh." Kagome said intelligently.
"Wait a minute! That was the bad vibe... It must have been them that almost caught us...crap...." Sango said.
"Oh well, it's not like we're emotionally attached to them, right?" Kagome asked.
"Right." Sango and Ayame replied in unison.
"What're we talking about?" Nazuna asked as she stumbled into the kitchen.
"Nevermind." Ayame answered.
