Disclaimer-Nope…I still don't own it!

Chapter 11-Lights Out!

Kagome sat in the library trying to finish up her report for tomorrow. She just couldn't get this afternoon out of her mind. Who knew she'd have so much fun with Inuyasha. (I knew!) She looked at the clock, 9:56, the library closes at ten, so she packed up all her things and walked out.

She headed over to the student dorms, which was in a different building, and walked by herself in the dark. The rain that was there earlier had developed into more of a storm. Kagome held her umbrella tightly and began to run to the dorms. As soon as she got into the building she let out a long sigh of relief.

She closed her umbrella and slowly made her way over to her room. As soon as she opened up the door, all of the lights went out. Kagome let out a little yelp of surprise, followed by yells from the girls in the other rooms.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked from the darkness.

"Yes," she answered, her voice a little shaky.

A crack of lightning and a roll of thunder suddenly came making Kagome give out another yelp.

"Hold on," Inuyasha said walking over towards the door blindly, meaning he tripped over most anything that was in front of him.

Kagome stood in the doorway, her fear leaving her as she heard him trip over a suitcase and land on the floor.

"Just hold on a second, I'll be over-"

Walked into the open closet door.

"Where the hells a damn flashlight!" Inuyasha angrily asked no one in particular.

"I think there's one in the top drawer of the dresser," Kagome said.

"Ok, I'll go get it," Inuyasha said turning around and hitting the closet door again. "Damn this door!" He made his way back cautiously. "I think I'm almost th-"

Tripped over the suitcase again.

"Damn, damn, damn!" Inuyasha yelled angrily.

He finally made it to the dresser and grabbed the flashlight out of the top drawer. He turned it on and shined the light over towards Kagome. He walked over to her, this time not tripping or running into anything.

"Let's go find Sango," Kagome said.

"I'm sure she and her roommate will be fine," Inuyasha said.

"But, Sango doesn't have a roommate," Kagome said taking the flashlight from him.

"Feh, fine."

Inuyasha and Kagome headed over to Sango's room and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Sango asked suspiciously.

"It's me!" Kagome said.

"Ok, just a second," Sango said.

Kagome and Inuyasha listened to the sound of Sango slowly moving, and tripping, to the door. She opened up the door and was met by the flashlight blinding her in the face.

"Damn! Could you lower that?" Sango asked shielding her eyes.

Inuyasha lowered the flashlight.

"Don't you have a flashlight?" Kagome asked.

"I did, but the batteries ran out a few minutes after I turned it on," Sango said. "Inuyasha, what's that big bump on your forehead?"

Kagome didn't see before that Inuyasha did in fact have a big bump on his head from walking into the door and falling on the floor. Kagome and Sango both held back a laugh. Inuyasha put his hand up to his head and felt where Sango said the bump was. Sure enough there was a big bump on his head.

Inuyasha shook his head dismissing the subject, he didn't really care that much.

"How do you think the power went out?" Kagome asked.

"Probably because of the lightning," Sango said. "Makes me think of an old ghost story."

"What ghost story?" Kagome and Inuyasha asked at almost the same time.

"Ah, it's nothing. Just some story that some girls decided to make up one night when they were really bored." Sango said.

"Well what is it?" Inuyasha asked.

Sango smiled apparently happy that she could tell the story. "Well, the story is this. There used to be a girl who went to this school, she was very mean, and not very well liked either. I think her name was, Ami. Well, one day stormy night she tried to steal some money from the school vault, and back then there was a school vault. Anyways one of the other students saw her trying to steal and tried to run to tell somebody. But, Ami saw her and chased her down and tackled her. She didn't want anybody else to find out from the girl, so she killed her and hid her body in the janitor's closet. So Ami ran out of the school, not wanting to be caught. But, before she was able to get anywhere, some lightning hit a nearby tree that toppled over and crushed her."

Kagome was clinging onto Inuyasha's arm and nearly cutting off the circulation to it. "Do you mind! I'd like to keep my arm!" Inuyasha said wiggling out of Kagome's grasp.

"Well, anyways," Sango said continuing, "the rest of the story is that on nights like this the ghost of Ami comes and wanders the school trying to find the school vault and take the money again. And if she sees somebody watching her, she'll kill them like she did the other girl."

"Wh-what about the other girl?" Kagome asked.

"Hm? Oh, the other girl's ghost haunts the school too. She pounds on the wall whenever Ami is near to warn other girls to run."

"Feh, that's a stupid story," Inuyasha said.

"Well, some girls made that story up years ago," Sango said.

Kagome was freaked out by the story and was cautiously looking around.

"Oh, and one more detail to add to the story!" Sango announced.

Kagome and Inuyasha looked at Sango waiting for her to say it.

"The ghost of Ami is supposed to be a black shadowy figure," Sango said.

"That's it?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yep," Sango said.

"That's really stupid," Inuyasha said.

"Like I said, I didn't make it up!" Sango said.

Just then the flashlight in Inuyasha's hand flickered, then went out leaving the three of them standing in the dark. Immediately Kagome latched onto Inuyasha's arm and kept a death grip on it. Sango moved a little closer towards the two of them.

"We should probably go find some more batteries so that we're not standing around in the dark," Inuyasha suggested.

"Walk around looking for batteries, in the dark?" Kagome seemed to shake a little at the thought.

"Oh don't be such a baby," Sango said, "We can just go to another room and get some batteries from there."

Kagome and Inuyasha nodded.

"But first!" Sango announced, "you need to make sure nobody sees you, Inuyasha. You're still dressed like a guy. If any of the girls see you here, you can be sure they won't keep quiet."

"Yeah, yeah," Inuyasha said.

The three of them walked over to the room next to Sango's and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A voice from behind the door said, sounding a little shaky.

"It's Sango and Kagome," Sango yelled to the girl on the other side of the door.

Inuyasha moved to the side of the door so that he would not be seen by whoever the girl was. The door slowly opened up, and a girl with short brown hair poked her head out.

"Yeah, what do you want?" The girl asked shinning a flashlight out at Sango and Kagome.

"Do you have extra batteries? Ours ran out," Kagome asked.

"No, the ones in this flashlight are the only ones we have," the girl answered.

"Ok, well thanks anyway," Sango said.

The girl waved bye to the girls and shut the door. Inuyasha, Sango, and Kagome walked to three other girl's dorm rooms and got the same response from everyone. Nobody seemed to have batteries. Kagome was still nervous to be standing in the middle of the hallway in the dark, and that ghost story that Sango told her didn't help her out at all.

Suddenly, the three of them heard a pounding on a wall that made them all jump. The pounding continued for a few seconds then stopped. Kagome grasped back onto Inuyasha's arm and looked at Sango as if waiting for her to say something. Sango just glanced back at Kagome with a look that made Sango seem a little scared. Even Inuyasha seemed to be thinking back to the ghost story that Sango told, but didn't seem to be as scared as the girls.

"Can we move away from here?" Kagome asked quietly.

"Sure," Sango said.

Inuyasha just nodded, so the three of them sprinted away from the pounding. After they figured they were a pretty good distance from the pounding the stopped.

"In the dark, the hallways look the same," Inuyasha mentioned. "Do either of you know where our room is?"

Sango and Kagome looked around searching for either of their rooms, but they didn't see it. Kagome's heart suddenly skipped a beat as she stared straight ahead barely breathing at all. She tugged on Inuyasha's arm trying frantically to get his attention.

"What?" Inuyasha asked. He was answered by Kagome pointing ahead.

Inuyasha looked at where Kagome was pointing and saw a dark figure coming there way. Sango soon looked where they were looking, and her eyes widened. The dark figure was getting closer and closer. Without speaking, the three teens turned and bolted down the hallway. The kept running for a few minutes and finally started to slow down.

After catching her breathe Kagome spoke, "That was freaky!"

"Yeah," Sango said.

"It was probably just on of the girls," Inuyasha said, "you two are making too big of a deal out of it."

"Oh really," Sango said skeptically, "and you were running why?"

"I didn't want you two running off alone in the dark."

Sango rolled her eyes before wondering where the three of them ran off to. They seemed to be completely on the other side of the building.

"We really need to find some batteries," Kagome said moving closer to Inuyasha.

"You scared?" Inuyasha asked.

"No…well, maybe just a little," Kagome said.

Sango continued to look around, it was hard for her to figure out where they were in the dark. Finally Sango figured it out.

"We're pretty close to the janitor's lounge, there should be some batteries there," Sango said.

Inuyasha then realized that he wasn't holding the flashlight anymore. "We might need to find a whole new flashlight."

"What happened to the one you were holding?" Sango asked.

"I think I might have dropped it somewhere when we were running."

"Great," Kagome said sarcastically.

"Well that doesn't matter, we'll probably find a flashlight in the lounge," Sango said.

Kagome and Inuyasha followed Sango to the janitor's lounge. The door was, of course, locked.

"Ok, who knows how to pick locks?" Sango asked pulling a boby pin out of her hair.

"I probably can," Inuyasha said taking the pin from Sango. He went to the lock on the door and fumbled around with it for about five minutes before he finally managed to open up the door. He opened it up, and the three of them walked in, shutting the door behind them.

"Alright, let's split up and look for a flashlight," Sango said.

"No way!" Kagome objected. "I don't want to look by myself."

"Ok, you and Inuyasha look together, and I'll go look over there," Sango said pointing where she meant.

Kagome nodded and she and Inuyasha began to raid all of the drawers and cabinets around them with no luck.

"Where are all the goddamn flashlights!" Inuyasha asked annoyed.

"There has to be one somewhere," Kagome said opening up another drawer, "AHA!" Kagome pulled out a yellow flashlight and turned it on shining a white beam at Inuyasha.

"Great, now let's go get Sango," Inuyasha said.

Kagome and Inuyasha walked towards where Sango said she was looking, but couldn't find her. This made Kagome a little worried.

"Sango? Sango are you there?" Kagome called, but she didn't get an answer.

Kagome began to worry even more as she slowly walked towards a corner with Inuyasha following her. Suddenly a hand came out from the corner and grabbed her shoulder. Kagome squeaked and almost screamed, but then realized that it was Sango.

"Sango! You nearly gave me a heart attack!" Kagome yelled.

Inuyasha shined his light in Sango's direction.

"Oh, good, you found a flashlight," Sango said.

"Yeah, I'm guessing you had no luck," Inuyasha said.

"Right. It's hard to believe that in this whole school there are no flashlights," Sango said.

"I'm really not liking this power outage," Kagome commented, "I hope the lights come on soon."

"Yeah, let's get out of here now, we can stay in my room until the lights come back on," Sango said.

The three teens walked back the way they came and heard a loud crash. The three of them jumped a little but soon wondered where the sound came from. They all silently decided to check out what had made that sound. They walked towards where the sound was coming from. They had to turn a corner to get to where the sound came from, and as soon as they did they came face to face with a tall dark figure…
