Kagome whipped past trees, tripping on some roots here and there, but still running as fast as she could. She needed to go somewhere safe, somewhere Sweet wouldn't find her.
She turned left and ran towards the exit of the woods that lead to a town Kagome had been to before. Someone there would help her. After all, she had saved the town from an Ivy demon.
She exited the forest and pelted up the path toward the village gates. She was so close; she could hear voices just ahead of her.
She pushed the gates open and ran in screaming help. It was no use. The village was completely ruined.
"No…no…this can't be"
"Don't cry darlin'"
Kagome turned to look into the demonic eyes of Sweet.
"What do you want with me!"
Sweet smiled.
"Why'd you run away?
Don't you like my…
style?
Why don't you come and play?
I guarantee a great
big smile.
I come from the imagination
and I'm here
strictly by your invocation.
So what do you say—
Why don't
we dance a while?
I'm the how to swing.
I'm the twist and
shout.
When you gotta sing,
When you gotta let it out.
You
call me and I come a-runnin'.
I turn the music on, I bring the
fun in.
Now we're partyin', that's what it's all about.
'Cause I know what you feel, girl.
I know
just what you feel, girl."
Kagome raised an eyebrow.
"So you're like a good demon? Bringing the fun in?"
Sweet shook a finger. A human appeared out of nowhere and started to dance.
"All these melodies, they go on too long.
Then
that energy starts to come on way too strong.
All those hearts lay
open— that must sting."
The human started to dance so quickly he started to smoke then burst into flames and fell to the floor in ashes.
"Plus some customers just start
combusting.
That's the penalty when life is but a song.
You
brought me down into this town
so when we blow this scene,
back
we will go to my kingdom below
and you will be my queen.
'Cause I know what you feel, girl."
Kagome stepped back from him.
"No, you see, you and me
wouldn't be very
regal."
Sweet suddenly held her close.
"I'll make it real, girl."
Kagome pushed herself away from him.
"What I mean, I'm fifteen
so this queen
thing's illegal."
Sweet took her hand.
"I can bring whole cities to ruin
and still
have time to get a soft-shoe in."
Kagome released his grip and stepped back more.
"Well, that's great but I'm late
and I'd
hate to delay him."
Sweet jumped onto a rock his shoes tapping like tap dancing shoes.
"Something's cooking, I'm at the griddle.
I
bought Nero his very first fiddle."
Kagome backed against a tree.
"He'll get pissed if I'm missed,
See my
boyfriend's the Sesshomaru."
Sweet suddenly stopped and turned slowly to Kagome.
"Now
we're partyin'.
That's what it's all about."
Sweet smiled evilly.
"You can run now darlin. Go tell your lover and your friends, that I have the one they call Rin"
Sweet disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"You Bastard!" Kagome screamed into the night.
