Chapter 33: The Halloween Dance.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha!

A few weeks had passed since the presentation and, in gym, Kagome moved on from making barriers to using her powers without her weapon. When she mastered that she moved on to having to shot moving objects while her, herself, had to move. Riding on Inuyasha's back as he ran, dove and jumped over obstacles, Kagome had difficulty getting the hang of it but she was a fast learner and soon mastered that as well.

Now Inuyasha and Kagome was getting ready for the Halloween dance. They agreed to meet Sango and Miroku at the school so their costumes would be kept a secret.

Kagome smiled as she pinned her hair up so she could put her wig on, she had so much fun at the last dance and hoped to have even more at this one. There was a knock at the bathroom door and throwing out a quick yeah the door opened.

Kagome saw Inuyasha step into her view in the mirror while she was putting her wake-up on. "You about ready?" He asked. Kagome nodded as she put her choker on and smiled at her reflection.

Inuyasha smiled as she twirled a strand of Kagome's wig. His smile turned into a smirk, "you look good as a blond."

Kagome laughed, playfully hit him in the shoulder while rolling her eyes and walked out of the bathroom-they never noticed the red eyes that were staring at them.

After Kagome and Inuyasha gave the kids a kiss they walked out the front door hand in hand. Pulling up at the school, Inuyasha checked the time-8:45. He looked out the window and saw Sango and Miroku dressed as Mrs. Lovett and Sweeny Todd. He was surprised, however, to see his brother-not looking to happy at all-and Rin standing beside them dressed as Sally and Jack (Nightmare Before Christmas.)

Inuyasha got out of the car, walked around to get Kagome's door for her-holding out a hand he gave her a toothy grin while holding out a hand. "My Lady." Kagome beamed up at him, taking his hand so he could help her out of the car, they walked hand in hand towards their friends.

"So, Rin, what did you have to do to get Sesshomaru to come to the dance?" Inuyasha asked smiling wide when he saw Sesshomaru roll his eyes, pinning him with a deadly look while Rin giggled.

"Ooh, I love your guy's costumes!" Rin chimed instead of giving him an answer. Inuyasha and Kagome were dressed as The Joker and Harley Quinn. "You look really good as a blond, Kagome!"

"Thank you. I like your costumes as well, and Sango and Miroku you guys look great as well." Kagome smiled.

Walking into the gym, where the dance was being held, Kagome immediately felt someone burning holes in the back of her head. Heaving a quiet sigh, she was starting to get tired of this-it was getting old real fast. However, it still freaked her out, but, she tried to ignore it the best she could.

Trying to lose herself by dancing and having fun, Kagome couldn't shake the feeling that someone was staring at her and that something bad was going to happen. Going to a table to sit down and take a break, she felt the feeling someone was looking at her, she took a quick sweep of the gym connecting eye contact with Naraku. She gasped as she felt the blood drain from her face, she reached a hand out to grip Inuyasha's sleeve. He looked down at her, saw her face and jerked his head in the direction she was looking, but by the time he looked-Naraku was gone.

"What was it Kagome? Was it Naraku?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome nodded as she tried to get her breathing and heartbeat to even out to a normal rhythm. Inuyasha growled as he and the others looked around the gym, coming up empty handed, they thought that Naraku had left.

Thinking that Kagome was now safe, the group headed back out to the dance floor, quickly forgetting about Naraku. Losing themselves having fun and dancing and just enjoying themselves. After dancing to a few songs the gang heading to the table where the kept the snacks and drinks. Getting their fill of Halloween themed snacks and something to drink they headed back to their table.

Inuyasha looked down at Kagome when she made a disgusted noise in the back of her throat. He saw her scrunch up her nose, obviously not liking that particular snack very much. He chuckled as she downed her punch to try to get the nasty taste out of her mouth. Hearing his chuckle Kagome shot him a look and stuck her tongue out at him making him laugh again. She hmphed turned her nose up in a faux scowl that quickly turned into a smile and laughter as Inuyasha attacked her sides with his fingers. Everyone, except for Sesshomaru, laughed at their antics.

After about thirty minutes, the gang was back on the dance floor dancing to 'The Monster Mash' then right after that they played 'Spooky, Scary Skeletons.' They laughed and danced like no one was watching. They were having a blast dancing and laughing at each others silly dance moves.

After a few songs Sango announced that she had to use the restroom and drug Kagome and Rin with her. As they were at the sinks washing their hands when their worlds went black. About ten minutes later Sango and Rin woke up and noticed that Kagome wasn't there with them. Panicking they looked at each other before getting up and running out to see if maybe she was with them. They doubted it but they could hope.

Inuyasha noticed Sango and Rin running out the hall that the bathrooms were located and really didn't like the panic that their faces held.

"Where's Kagome? Did she come out here yet?" Sango asked frantically looking around them, both her and Rin had tears streaming down their faces.

"What do you mean 'where's Kagome?' She was with you! What the hell happened!?" Inuyasha yelled at both of the girls, dread rapidly filling his heart.

"W-we don't know! One minute we were washing our hands then the next everything went black!" Rin cried out.

"Damn it!" Inuyasha cursed, looking frantically around the gym along with the other-hoping beyond hope that she was still here. When they couldn't find her they left-they followed Kagome's scent outside until it disappeared. "Damn it!" Inuyasha cursed again. "They must've gotten in a car and drove off." He growled ferociously as he caught Naraku's scent mixed with Kagome's. "Naraku."

Everyone froze when they heard Inuyasha say Naraku's name then jumped when he shouted 'Shit!' Punching a light post, permanently bending the metal light post.

Please review! Until next time, bye!
