A/N: Hey everyone! I just got done celebrating Christmas today, and now I'm writing from my new laptop! I'm so happy I got one! It was so unreal to open it… But I had a strange hunch that told me I was going to get one. Weird, huh? I swear, sometimes I think I'm party psychic.

But it's a really good thing because now I have a computer at home that has access to the internet, so now I don't have to write my chapters out on paper and then re-type them onto my grandparent's computer… Yep! So now I can be just like everyone else and type my stories right by keyboard. Hooray!

Pre-Chapter Note: Odoru means dance. I'm not really sure if it's the noun or the verb… but… oh well.

Wait Till I Can Dream

Chapter Five

Odoru

XxXxX

Kikyo cocked her head to the side. "Oh? And who would that be?"

Inuyasha looked back at Kagome. "I'm taking Kagome to the dance."

Kikyo growled and stormed out of the room after slamming their door. Kagome didn't know what to think. Should she feel happy that she had a date? Should she feel sad because it wasn't real? More than anything, she felt used. Inuyasha was only using her because he didn't want to dance with Kikyo. He didn't really want to take Kagome to the dance… Did he?

"Inuyasha?" Kagome called while laying in bed.

"Hm?" he rolled over to face her.

"Well… the dance…" she started.

"Feh. Don't think anything of it. I'm only going with you so I don't have to dance with Kikyo."

"Oh… okay…" she sighed. At least he was being honest, her optimist side of her was telling her. But she felt so disappointed that he was only using her. Why couldn't it be different?

"You think she'll look hot?" Miroku was like a little teenage girl talking about Orlando Bloom when he was really talking about Sango (ew… Orlando Bloom is disgusting. I don't see how everyone likes him so much. He makes me want to barf).

"I just…" Inuyasha sighed. "Miroku -- I don't care! Damn, how many times do I have to tell you!"

"But she's so hot!"

"Well if she already is hot, then, yes, she'll look hot." Inuyasha stood, annoyed. He hated dances. And worse -- he hated waiting. Especially for girls getting ready. How long did it take them to put on a new outfit, do their hair, brush their teeth, take a shower, put makeup on, pick out just the right shoes, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Sango emerged out of the steamy bathroom and spun around for the boys' eyes to watch. "Whatcha think?" She was wearing a red tube top and jean capris with a red embroidery flame up one of her legs. He had on red sneaker-boots to match. Red jelly bracelets and eyeliner, not to mention the cherry red lipstick that played on her lips, finished the hot look. How ironic.

"Love that flame… Makes you look even hotter than usual." Miroku couldn't take his eyes off of her.

She smiled and Kagome shyly came out of the bathroom. Inuyasha could feel himself smile, but he pushed it away. He was only going with her so Kikyo wouldn't bother him, right? That fact was etched in his mind, but his hormones were telling him otherwise. Kagome looked sexy tonight, whether she was his real date or not.

She was wearing a black tank top that was skin tight, showing off her fit form nicely. A black fishnet top, also tight, covered it. Her pants were hot pink with black patched stars pinned to them. They hugged her legs perfectly in Inuyasha's opinion. She had dark makeup on, but not dark enough to make her look like a raccoon. Inuyasha felt himself give a shy smile similar to Kagome's.

"Why isn't this thing formal?" Kagome asked.

"Oh, it is. We are just going as our rebel selves and wear jeans and such," Miroku explained. He was wearing a blue L'Arc - en - ciel shirt with regular dark jeans. Inuyasha had on a green Seo Taiji shirt with his normal plain blue jeans.

Kagome laughed. "Let's go then!" She was in an exceptionally good mood tonight. She could feel Inuyasha eyeing her, and that made her feel a little bit better. Plus she was feeling a good groove tonight, probably because Sango's excitement cheered her up.

"Ready when you are," Inuyasha said and linked arms with his date. He was practically licking his lips with the touch of her arm against his. Oh man, she looked good tonight. As the two walked out the door, Sango and Miroku smirked at the emense radiation from the other couple's hots for each other.

The dance actually had a nice atmosphere, much to Kagome's surprise. There were lights flashing all over the gym, pink and red streamers, and matching balloons. Also, the scent of roses was all around.

Inuyasha pointed to a corner of the gym and the group followed. Inuyasha needed to find the darkest place so he wouldn't be seen and/or forced to dance. Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku all slouched against the wall.

"What? You mean to tell me you guys got me all excited just to slouch against some stupid wall?" Kagome complained.

"Listen, wench. What do you expect from us? To go out there and waltz to Watashi WARUTSU wo? No Chihiro Onitsuka for me!"

Kagome was pissed off. "Whatever. I'm going to get some punch," she said while walking to the long table of food near the DJ.

"Psh. Fucking girl." Inuyasha scowled.

"Well she does have a point…" Sango stated. "We get all nice to just stand here. And I do love this song…" she trailed off. Sango wasn't one for poppy dance music, but she had a soft spot for Ayumi Hamasaki. She found herself tapping her foot to the song earlier: Dearest Depth Nostalgic Windmix.

Kagome trotted back with a Dixie cup in her hand. But Inuyasha sensed something weird about the cup… "Gimme that!" He snatched the cup from her to take the last sip. "… Where did you get this?" he questioned, making a disgusting face after swallowing the punch.

"The punch bowl," Kagome answered.

At that moment, Fuyuki walked past the group and said, "Hope you like the punch," while winking.

Inuyasha growled. "She spiked it…"

Kagome didn't care, in fact, she went back for more. And more… and more… and by the end of the dance, the Inu-tachi, except Inuyasha himself, were drunk off their asses.

Believe it or not, Inuyasha was serious about getting better. He hated himself for being as bad as he was. He did not want to fall back into the druggie cleptomaniac he was before. And he got that way through people like this. Right now, Inuyasha was scared. He was scared he'd have to start on the road to recovery all over again if he got into it. He was scared they might overdose. He was scared they'd get caught and taken away. He was scared. And Inuyasha was never one to admit to fear.

When the group got to their dorm room, Kagome went straight to her suitcase. She pulled out her bag of weed and bunch of random papers. Sango clapped her hands as Kagome started rollin' one.

Inuyasha sat there as the three of them were surrounded by smoke, and Inuyasha could only thing about excuses for the smell.

Sango whispered something in Miroku's ear. They both got up and walked over to the bathroom. Once they got inside and closed the door, they busted out laughing.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Want some?" Kagome asked and handed a joint over to him…

Sango POV

As soon as we stepped into the bathroom, we exploded with giggles. I was so gone… Everything around me was beautiful, dazzling. I could barely stand look at it. As I stood on the furry rug I felt the softness engulf me. I was the happiest I'd been! Ever! Oh, it was glamorous! I was falling, falling, falling, feeling myself being surrounded in colors and textures for each one… I was falling… I was falling until Miroku caught me in his arms.

I looked him in the eyes and I felt higher than anyone in the world! Hell, I was the worlds! Miroku was the universe, holding me in the right place, his arms.

He kissed me with passion, but I couldn't tell if it was just me he was grooving' or it was the pot kissing me. I let my hands wander freely, as many times as they'd wanted to in the past, I was granting them the freedom now. He wrapped his wondrous, magnificent hands around my waist and set me down in our tub.

He started stripping his clothing and my own. I started geeking out. "What are you doing?" I asked, laughing. But I didn't want to laugh. I was serious.

Miroku POV

"What are you doing?"

Was that voice Sango's or was it just in my head? Either way, I didn't pause to think, I just had to make love to her.

As I reached around to take off her bra, she grabbed my hand and asked me, "What are you doing!"

So it was her.

I guessed she was a wild, yet paranoid one when high. I wasn't much different, just the people around me. I wasn't affected by objects, only people. And right now, Sango was even more beautiful than before. He hair was longer, shinier, thicker than before. Her eyes swallowed me, and he lips teased me. Her body danced in a way that I couldn't' put into words. But all together, I wanted her. I wanted to make love to her. And I told her all that just by kissing her.

"Do it," she said while her lips curved into a smile.

Inuyasha POV

XxXxX

I really didn't want to fall back into my old self. It's like that one song or whatever: who I am hates who I've been. No. I wouldn't do it again. At least that's what I told myself.

"What'ssammatter? Ya scared?"

I was not scared of anything. "No!" I said and grabbed the joint from her and took in a big cloud of smoke. I knew how to smoke, I just didn't do it in a while, so I didn't remember…

I felt the thick smoke surround me, even in my mind. I could already feel myself fucking up. I can't even describe the things going on but I know one thing that I can clearly remember.

Lust.

Kagome POV

XxXxX

It felt so good to have a hit. I felt free from this fucking corporate jail house of little scared kids with no lives. But I was free from it, at least for now.

Whenever I got high, my senses worked one hundred times better, and I suppose that's because your whole body works one hundred times harder to fight off bad things, right?

But anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah. Senses. Sorry, I swear I have A.D.D. when I'm high. Maybe I have A.D.D. or something. Oh wait, I just said that… Okay, okay… I was saying something… what was it? OH YEAH! SENSES!

I could hear Sango and Miroku having a little sex in the bathroom. It was starting to give me ideas… And Inuyasha was looking awfully sexy…

I walked over to him and put my arms around his neck. He looked down at me with half opened eyes. I pressed my lips on his - hard. Our tongues played with each other wildly, and I pushed him back onto his bed. Our hands were all over the other's body, but neither of us cared. Both of us knew this was completely out of lust. I think. He crawled on top of me and started taking my shirt off.

I was already starting to lose my high, so I actually came to realization on what was going on. The only person I could think of was my fucking step-dad. I tense up when I felt his claws on my breast. And if that wasn't bad enough, I started crying.

If I was still stoned I wouldn't be doing this! I wouldn't think so much! Luckily Inuyasha was losing his, too. I could see it in his face. He felt regret, and he lay down beside me and turned his back on me. He only murmured, "G'night."
