Chapter Eight: Makeshift Wings

XXX

The first thing that came to Kagome's ears was the sound of the music.

It was loud, and the bass was on the loudest. They had a live band playing a few songs, but Kagome knew that they were probably just there to self-promote, and that different music would be played later.

The second thing was all the people. Probably the whole boarding school was there, and a few outsiders that had managed to sneak in. You could always tell them apart because their clothes looked pretty nice and they were mostly preps and jocks.

The bar looked backed, bodies almost wall to wall, and the place distinctly smelled of body odor. It was rather gross. The band had already left the stage by now, and she saw the new DJ was a kid she knew, a boy named Arashi. He had a lip ring in his mouth, and a pin in his ear.

He was wearing a black shirt and army shorts, and had a guitar strapped onto his back.

"That's Nona's boyfriend." She heard Sango say offhandedly when Nona walked up on the stage and kissed him.

"They suite each other." Kagome replied, her voice almost to the point of yelling because of the music and talking.

Rin walked in beside Kagome holding her camera tightly, but her eyes were shining with happiness. Scanning the room, she found Sesshoumaru. "I'll see you guys later!" She called, waving at Kagome and Sango.

Kagome watched as Rin ran over to where Sesshoumaru was sitting and started talking to him. She could see the blush on his face and smiled at Sango.

Sesshoumaru then grabbed Rin's small hand and led her over to the densely packed dance floor and started dancing with her. Both Sango and Kagome laughed at how funny they were dancing, probably purposely looking stupid as to break the ice.

They walked into the room a little farther and found an empty table. It had beer splashed all over it, but was suitable. Both Kagome and Inuyasha sat down but Sango still stood, and was now staring at Miroku.

Sango lifted her hand up and slapped Miroku lightly. He got a confused look. "I didn't even grab you!" He said, looking a little miffed but was more surprised then confused when Sango starting giggling girlishly and told him, "You so cute when your angry!"

Miroku laughed and let Sango pull him away from Kagome and Inuyasha and towards the dance floor.

"And there, off!" Inuyasha told her. "I bet you a pack of smokes that Miroku and Sango make out or have sex before the night is over." He huffed.

Kagome raised an eyebrow. "Sango has WAY more self-respect then that. You're on!" She yelled back to him, shaking his hand. She leaned back in her chair and was smiling at him when she saw Nona walk over to them and pitch a seat.

"Yo!" Nona called, smirking in that 'I'm-up-to-something' way.

She also looked pretty hot. She was wearing a hot pink tank with the words, "Damn I'm Good" and a pair of black Tripp blue jeans. She had on high heel see-through shoes that Kagome cringed just thinking about. Her hair had temporary pink dye in, which matched her tank. Kagome noticed that the only makeup she had on was lip gloss.

'Damn Nona and her perfect complexion.' Kagome though bitterly but said aloud, "Damn girl, there's a shit load of people here! How long you think the party's gunna last before it's closed down?"

Nona gave a full smile. "Its gunna take quite a while I suppose. I drugged all of the staff!" They both laughed, and Inuyasha smirked. That was so Nona.

"Well, were going to have to dance later!" Nona called, standing up and stretching. "In the meantime, I have guest to attend to and preps to kick out!!"

Kagome laughed and watched as Nona walked over to a group of really sexy boys and started flirting shamelessly. Kagome figured that Nona wouldn't cheat on her boyfriend, though she was a girl who got bored easily, he seemed to have her totally whipped. Arashi and Nona went together like Steak and Ketchup.

Looking over at Inuyasha they shared a smile before they started playing some thumb wars. A little while later, Kagome was getting bored so she gulped and tried to clutch her pride.

"Wanna Dance, Inuyasha?" She asked, hoping he would say yes.

Inuyasha smirked. "I was waiting for you to ask!"

They both stood up and walked over to the dance floor and pushed their way to the middle. People all around them were grinding and so forth. "I do believe that dancing is what people are supposed to do at parties." Inuyasha yelled in her ear.

"People have sex too!" Kagome yelled back.

"Touché."

"Dance Now?"

He whirled her around. "Hell Yes!!" He called, pulling her very close to him, as his favorite AFI song came on.

:: Of late it's harder just to go outside,

To leave this deadspace with hatred so alive.

Writhing of Sickness,

Thrown into banality.

Killed by the weakness,

But forced to return,

Turn it off. ::

Kagome and Inuyasha started grinding and singing along. They had a hopeless infatuation with each other's bodies, and the dancing gave them a reason to explore them with their hands. Kagome smiled at Inuyasha and felt a dying urge to kiss him, but held back.

:: I watch the starts as they fall from the sky

I held a fallen star

And it wept for me.

Dying,

I feel the fallen stars encircle me now

As they cry.

Out there so quickly grows malignant tribes,

Posthuman extinction excels unrecognized. ::

Sango was dancing with Miroku as well, very different from Kagome and Inuyasha, and Sango was giggling at the adorable site of Sesshoumaru and Rin dancing.

The whole time they would not take their eyes off one another. They seemed too absorbed in catching each others moves. "Ah to be in love!" Sango had giggled, getting a slight stare from Miroku.

"Aren't Inuyasha's brother and Rin perfect for each other?" She asked him. For some reason Miroku sighed heavily but responded, "Yep, sure."

Sango ignored that, and was now screaming to the lyrics, but fell silent when Miroku would brush her cheek with his left hand. She had always known Miroku's violet eyes were beautiful, but after she got the time to stare deeply into them.

She knew that they were mesmerizing.

:: Feeling surrounded,

So bored with mortality

I decay

All of this hatred is sucking real.

Turn it on

It won't be all right despite what they say

Just watch the stars tonight,

As they disappear,

Disintegrate. ::

Kagome and Inuyasha were also staring at each other's eyes and Kagome was mesmerized with them too.

The way amber and gold twirled around in his orbs and the way his slits of black would follow hers everywhere. Kagome couldn't help but feel heat come to her cheeks.

The music seemed to drown out, and all Kagome could hear were the final lines of the song.

:: And I disintegrate

cause this hate is sucking real.

And I hope to shade the world as stars go out

And I disintegrate. ::

Kagome leaned towards Inuyasha, and was about to finally brush her lips with his when-

"HEY PEOPLE!!" Nona's voice suddenly crowded the room.

Kagome blushed even darker and pulled back. 'Does Nona know how to ruin the moment or what?!' Her mind yelled, furious with Nona and herself.

Inuyasha on the other hand was smiling softly. He had wanted to make out with Kagome for a long time, but had always thought that she wouldn't have wanted to. Now he knew that she did and had the incentive to indicate later contact.

"Hi-hi!" Nona spoke into the microphone clearly, "Um, I think its time for a slow song..." A few doubtful looks ensued, "Don't worry people!! It's not going to be some dumbass song by N'Sink (did I spell that right?) or the Backstreet Boys. Now, without further adieu I present to you..."

The song hit up, and Kagome knew just what it was. My Immortal from Evanescence. Kagome felt her heart squeeze painfully and looked to the floor.

"I'm going to get something to drink." Kagome told Inuyasha.

"But it's a slow song!" Inuyasha persisted, but noted the way her eyes looked pained. Kagome gave him a pleading look, and he gave int.

"All right." He watched as she pushed her way through the tons of horny teenagers who were now heavily making out. He felt himself inwardly sigh and push his way over to Sango and Miroku.

Kagome felt her heart tighten again as she remembered how worried Inuyasha had just looked. Walking over to the bar, she sat on an old stool and summoned the waiter over.

"One mikes hard!" She told him, no longer needing to yell because the slow song had hushed everyone considerably.

"Lemonade or Raspberry?" He asked her, staring at his hand. The waiter was currently cleaning out a cup with a dishrag.

"Lemonade." She mumbled, spinning in her seat so she could see Inuyasha. She found him a moment later, talking to Miroku about something; well Sango was staring in disgust as two preps made out before her.

Kagome then glanced over to where she had last seen Rin and Sesshoumaru, and saw they were in the same spot as before. What surprised her though was that Sesshoumaru was holding Rin very close, and their lips seemed glued to one another's.

Kagome then smiled to no one in particular and took a sip of the Mikes Hard that the waiter had set before her. Spinning again, Kagome put her chin in her palm and stared at the many bottles of alcohol that had been brought in just for this party.

"Hey." Someone to her left drawled, and she looked over, her attention gained momentarily.

It was a male.

She sized him up for a moment. He was wearing black jeans with a dark gray turtleneck. He had long hair that was a color of dark brown. "What do you want?" She asked.

"A dance." He told her, sitting on the empty stool next to her.

"No." She told him, being blunt so she could get the point across. He smiled at this and Kagome noticed that there was a wicked twinkle in his eyes.

He stared at her for a moment as the slow song ended, greeting a booming punk rock song. Everyone starting cheering and screaming again and the disciple level went up thirty notches.

"You're going to come with me?" He told her not really asking. Kagome looked over at him and was about to tell him off when he grabbed her shoulder roughly and pulled her off her chair. His grip was now around her wrist, and was squeezing painfully.

Kagome cried out in pain, but no one heard her.

The mysterious man then took the liberty of dragging her out of the room in a harsh manor. When they reached the hall way, Kagome's heart was thumping loudly in her chest. She was absolutely terrified.

"What the hell do you want!?" She yelled, struggling as best she could, but his grip would only get tighter and tighter.

The man finally turned around, and gave another wicked smile, "You." He purred.

Inuyasha laughed slightly at the joke Miroku just told him. Sango had now taken her attention off of the horny preps and heard her laugh to. He looked over to the bar and noticed that Kagome wasn't there.

After his eyes trailed around the room for a second he asked, "Do you guys no where Kag-Chan is?"

Sango looked around as well, but nodding 'no.'

Inuyasha's eyes now held worry. "She seemed really upset before, when the slow song came on..."

"Maybe she went back to the room?" Miroku suggested.

Inuyasha nodded, but still couldn't shake the feeling of dread.

Kagome fell to the floor with a loud thump.

The guy had taken her to a dark room and shoved her in, only to kick her stomach and force a knife on her throat.

"If you try and leave I will slit your throat." He had told her in that same disgusting tone as before.

Kagome's lungs were screaming for air and she panted. He had knocked the wind out of her when he had kicked her. Groaning slightly she looked up and around the room, but nothing could have prepared her for what she saw.

Kikyo's light blue eyes were staring into her own.

Kikyo was sitting on the floor, with a large slash mark on her left cheek. She was half naked and Kagome could see dry blood on the floor beside her. "K-kikyo..." Kagome managed out, still trying to breath.

Kikyo's eyes left her own and she got a forlorn look.

Kagome started searching the room for a way out a moment later. She stood up, ignoring the pain in her stomach and walked over to Kikyo. "Who is that guy?" She asked quietly.

"Naraku." Kikyo whispered back.

Kagome felt tears weld up in her eyes. Kikyo's voice had sound so pained... Kagome had a feeling that this Naraku person was probably going to rape her and try and slaughter her.

Kagome started breathing heavily again and then noticed a window. She ran over to it and pushed it open. She knew that she was on the second floor though. Punching the screen out, she didn't dare call for help. That guy- Naraku- would be back for her in a moment.

Kagome felt her adrenalin pumping as she scurried over to Kikyo and hissed for her to get up.

"My arm is broken..." Kikyo told her.

Kagome stared and gulped. She grabbed Kikyo's good arm, and pulled her onto her own back. "Hand on to my neck." Kagome whispered, and Kikyo did as told.

Kagome then heard the sounds of footsteps coming towards the door. She felt her as though stones had been crushed into her throat, and without a moment of hesitation, Kagome flung herself and Kikyo out of the second story window as the door just opened.
