A/N: I just couldn't resist. I do realize that this is probably a little too late for a Halloween chapter.....but who cares as long as I update? I had this finished at 2:30 this morning but I was too tired to do anything....so yah. Enjoy.
Chapter 6- A Halloween Interlude
"Wait a minute! What'd you say about Yuka Sango?" Kagome asked doing a double take.
"She bit Hojo, now he's here recovering." Sango replied.
"Oh great." Kagome sighed.
"Have you read the papers guys?" Ayame asked looking up from her newspaper, "There's this huge Halloween party going on at the school tonight! I vote that we go."
"I thought you didn't like parties?" Nazuna said, confused.
"I don't. Normally. But this is a costume party and I think it'll be fun to dress up. Besides I need a chance to forget about that arrogant bastard Kouga." Ayame answered.
"But what are we gonna do about the Hojo situation?" Sango asked.
"We're gonna leave Yuka here to look after him, it's her fault she couldn't control her hunger! Besides, I don't think she'll object. She really likes that Hojo guy." Kagome answered.
"I'll go talk to her." Eri offered.
"Okay you go. You can pick out your costume later, I'll help you." Nazuna said.
Eri left the room.
"I wanna be a witch!" Sango called out.
"I wanna be a vampire princess!" Kagome shouted.
"I will be a zombie." Ayame stated.
Nazuna stared at her then shook her head. "I'm gonna be bride of Frankenstein!"
"Why are we shouting?" Kagome shouted.
"I don't know!-er I mean, I don't know." Sango replied.
"Why would you wanna be a vampire?" Nazuna asked Kagome.
"Because, then I can show my true self without hiding behind a mask." Kagome replied.
"Oh." Nazuna, Sango and Ayame all replied.
"I'm going to go get dressed." Kagome announced, walking over to her room. "I suggest you guys do too."
"Ok." they all replied in unison.

Kagome emerged from her room wearing a dress she hadn't worn for over two years. It was a midnight black halter dress trimmed blood red lace; it flowed to her feet and had a slit on the right hand side that went up to 5 inches past her knee. She had piled all her except for two strands into a messy bun at the crown of her head. She paused for a moment and let her teeth grow out. Seeing that she was the first one done as usual, she went to the bathroom to put a touch of make-up on.
Sango was checking herself out in the mirror in her room. She had on one of her favorite dresses. It went down to her knees in a tight, curve hugging fit, with spaghetti straps and a revealing neckline. It was deep crimson. Atop her head she had placed a matching deep crimson witch's hat. In her hand she held a broom. She saw Kagome emerge from the bathroom.
"Wow, you look like really pretty, Kag." Sango commented.
"Than k'ya. You look smashing too." she replied.
"Oh my gawd! Ayame your skin is peeling and your clothing is in tatters!" Eri shouted from her bedroom door.
"That happens to be the point! Doi! I'm a zombie!" Ayame 'doi'ed. "They generally have tattered clothing and peeling skin."
"How did you get your eyes to go red?" Nazuna asked emerging from her bedroom wearing a simple white dress with white highlights in her hair.
"Doi, I'm a vampire! I have enough control that I can make my eyes go red without making my teeth grow!" Ayame snapped.
"Eri what do you wanna be?" Sango asked, ignoring Ayame.
"A troll! Like those cute dolls that have their hair standing straight up! I have about a gazillion of them!" Eri chirped.
"When did that happen...nevermind...I don't wanna know..." Kagome sighed.
"How about we all help you get ready?" Sango offered.
"That would be great!" Eri chirped happily.
(10 minutes, 2 bottles of hair gel and 3 cans of extra old hairspray later)
"We didn't do too bad, actually." Sango admitted, glancing at Eri's hair.
"Can we get going now?" Nazuna whined.
"No," Eri said firmly. "We have to find me some shrunken clothes."
"Shrunken...clothes?" Sango asked.
"Yes. Troll dolls wear shrunken clothes. Duh!" Eri told them.
"Okay then. I think Nazuna shrunk some of your clothes in the laundry anyway." Kagome informed her.
"My...c.cc..clothes?!?!" Eri stuttered.
"Heh, heh, heh, it was an accident?" Nazuna replied.
"Just go get dressed!" Ayame snapped.
-(At the Party)-
They stood in the front lobby of the school for a minute, looking at the magnificent decorations that had been strategically placed around the door where the partiers entered.
There was a neon orange sign with an arrow pointing to the large gym that they had never been inside before.
As they entered the gym, the loud pounding of the music and the stench of sweat assaulted their keen senses.
"Hey, is that you Sango?" asked the annoyingly familiar voice of Miroku.
"Hide me please!" Sango whispered hurriedly to Ayame who was standing beside her.
"Sorry Sango, but I've got problems of my own. Here comes that stupid wolf!" Ayame whispered back to her.
Kouga walked into their line of sight....dressed as....a werewolf.....
"Oh Ayame, I know you're here. Where are you my little flower? Oh sorry!" Kouga apologized as he tripped into Kagome. He sniffed the air around her. "Are you related to Lady Kagome Higurashi?" He asked "You smell exactly like her...but...different...like a..." he took another sniff, "....a...cemetery...weird," He appeared to be deep in thought.
"Let's go dance." Ayame said, dragging Kouga away from Kagome so he wouldn't figure them out.
"Do you realize how close to being found out we were? Thank god Ayame was here..." Sango sighed.
"I had a feeling that I shouldn't have come here." Kagome muttered, stalking off to the corner of the gym.
"Sango dearest, why on earth did you bring that broom here? You have already swept me off my feet." Miroku whispered into her ear from behind.
She shivered at the feel of his breath on the back off her neck. But replied, "That was cheesy even for you Miroku!" and elbowed him in the gut.
She turned around and saw his costume.
"A monk. Could that be any further from what you really are, you pervert?" she asked raising an eyebrow skeptically.
"Kagome?" Inu Yasha asked, as he approached her.
"Yes?" she replied.
"I really like your costume; it must be really hard to find fangs that look that authentic." He complimented her.
"Huh? Oh is hard to find fangs like this." she replied. "What're you supposed to be?"
"A half demon prince. Wanna dance?" he questioned.
"Uh, sure." she answered.
He led her to the dance floor and she placed her arms around his neck and her head on his shoulder, and he tensed up, but settled his hands on her back.
-()-
"Sango can we please dance? Pretty please?" Miroku asked pathetically as he dodged another love tap (as he would call it) from Sango.
"Can you stop being a pervert for more than two seconds?" She asked.
"Uh...." He appeared to be thinking.
"That's what I thought. I'm going to go 'powder my nose' or whatever that stupid saying is...... Don't wait up!" She huffed as she spun around and walked over to the washroom door.
-()-
"Isn't this wonderful Ayame my flower?" Kouga asked as pressed Ayame closer to his chest.
"No." Ayame replied. "Can you let go of me now? I have to go fix my make-up." She stifled a laugh as she pulled back and noticed that it looked like he had a face on his shoulder.
-()-
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Eri shouted. "That was fun! Do it again! Do it again!"
"Okie Dokie" the guy replied spinning her around again.
"Oh my.....now I'm dizzy. I think I'm gonna throw up.... Stop. Stop. I'm going to go to the washroom, I'll be right back." Eri said bringing a hand to her while using the other to wave to the guy.
-()-
Nazuna waked over to the washroom and opened the door.
"Oh! What're you guys doing in here?" Nazuna asked in shock.
"Hiding from a pervert." Sango replied
"Hiding from an overly obsessed wolf." Ayame replied.
"Stopping myself from puking." Eri replied.
"Where's Kagome?" Nazuna asked.
"Still out there dancing, probably." Sango replied nodding towards the door.
-()-
"You seem really tense." Kagome muttered in to Inu Yasha's shoulder. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." He replied still seeming tense.
"It's me isn't it?" She asked pulling away so he could see her face.
"No it's not...." He trailed off gazing into her eyes. "Kagome your eyes are supposed to be red right?"
"...Yah..." she replied.
"I don't know if this is a bad thing but, your eyes are grey." He told her.
"..They're...grey?" She asked. "I'll be right back."
She took off in the direction of the bathroom
-()-
"It's nice to see that you finally decided to join...us." Ayame said as Kagome entered the washroom.
"What the hell happened to your eyes Kagome?" Sango asked, closing in on her and examining her eyes.
"I have no flipping idea." She ground out.
"Where the hell are your teeth?" Sango asked.
"Again, I have no flipping idea! And would you please back off!" Kagome ground out, walking over to the mirror.
"Holy freaking crap! I look like I did 500 years ago....only a lot paler...." Kagome exclaimed.
"Is this happening to any of the rest of us?" Ayame asked.
Everyone else rushed over to the mirror and started looking for any sign of change.
"Relax, it probably has something to do with.....okay well I have no idea what it has something to do with! But it is most likely just affecting me!" Kagome shouted out in frustration.
"I think we should go home. I might have some books on this sort of thing." Ayame offered.
"Okay, I'll meet you guys on the front steps. I've just got to go say goodbye to Inu Yasha," Kagome told them.
-()-
"Hey Inu Yasha, I've got to go now. See you at 'school' tomorrow, okay?" Kagome said.
"Uh, yeah sure see you tomorrow." He replied seeming distracted.
-()-
"Yay. We are home," Kagome said without any enthusiasm. "I'm going to bed."
"You do that then. I'll go check on Yuka." Eri replied, walking towards Yuka's room.
"I'll go look up the symptoms Kagome has." Ayame told them stalking off to her room.
"I'm going to bed too, I'm exhaus--" Sango was cut off by Eri's shriek.
"Eri," Sango called as she walked toward Yuka's room. "What's wro.....ewwwwww! Yucky! Yucky!"
Ayame, Nazuna, and Kagome (who was wearing her P.J.s) rushed over to the door to see what was wrong. There was Yuka laying on her bed next to Hojo, though both were still fully clothed, they were entwined in each other's embrace.
"I think we should leave....." Sango said.
"Yeah, I agree, Eri close the door." Kagome agreed.
"Okay, but I'm scarred for life!" Eri squeaked.
"Oh just shut up. There's nothing wrong with that." Nazuna said pointing to the door. "They are still fully clothed so we should be thankful...or something....I'm going to go to my room now. Good night."
"Need sleep. Good day." Kagome muttered incoherently, while stalking off to her room.
"I'll be in my room looking up stuff to see what's wrong with Kagome." Ayame shouted.
-()-
"I'm tired. Stop it, Inu Yasha! I said stop it." Miroku mumbled sleepily.
"It's not my fault that the road is so damn bumpy!" Inu Yasha shouted. "And you can't sleep anyway; Kagura's got a lead on a bunch of vampires."
"Mhm..too tired. Let me sleep." Miroku mumbled again.
"Okay you ass. No sleeping." Inu Yasha ground out.
"Too TIRED!!!" Miroku shouted childishly.
Inu Yasha glanced at the coffee in his cup holder and got an idea.
"Okay fine go to sleep." He told Miroku.
Once he heard Miroku's snoring, he reached into the cup holder and pulled out the hot coffee. He whistled innocently pouring the coffee into Miroku's lap.
"OUCHIE! OW! OW! OW! OW!" Miroku shouted in agony. "INU YASHA!!!"
"Shut up, dumbass we're here." Inu Yasha said calmly.
"Hello boys." Kagura greeted as they stepped out the car.
"Do you have any paper towel?" Miroku asked, glaring at Inu Yasha.
Kagura smirked. "Did little Miroku have an accident?"
"No, little Inu Yasha poured coffee on my lap while I was sleeping!" Miroku told her while mimicking her voice.
"You weren't supposed to be sleeping." Kagura told him. "Okay, now on to business. There have been a few vampire sightings near your school. I would like you to check it out."
"Okay, we'll check it out." Inu Yasha told her.
"Oh, and Inu Yasha, have you seen Naraku or your brother?" Kagura asked. "They were supposed to be back ages ago."
"Nope I haven't... I'll keep a look out for them though..." Inu Yasha replied. "That's odd, Sesshoumaru is never late for anything."
They climbed into Inu Yasha's car and headed towards the school.
Once they arrived, they climbed out and began to look around. What they saw shocked them.
