if ur reading this, i'm guessing you liked the long lost chapter 8. heck, you've probably already read this XD
disclaimers!
here's chapter 9, which was, until a few moments ago, chapter 8

Kagome sat in her living room, trying to find something to watch on T.V. She looked at the clock-6:42. She sighed. Less than an hour.

Suddenly, there was a knock at her door. She got up and answered it to see Inuyasha in a tuxedo. She felt a blush play on her face. "Hey, Kagome." "Um…hi." She smiled at the look he gave her.

"Can I come in?" he asked, even though he already knew the answer. Kagome's face turned even more red as she moved aside and let him in.

"Inuyasha, what's with the tux? You've never really been the classy type." He followed her up to her room. "Uh, maybe because there's a party here in a little bit." he answered. "Yeah, but it's not like it's a prom or something. It's just a birthday party."

"I know." he said with a grin as Kagome shut her bedroom door. "I just wanted to see your face when you saw me in this. Now, it's your turn." "My turn?" she asked, confused.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Yeah, your turn. I got dressed up for you, so you have to put that dress on."

"The…dress?" Kagome looked over to her closet where the dress was hanging, wrapped in plastic. She walked across her room and pulled it out. "Inuyasha, it's just a birthday party." she repeated. "We don't need to look all fancy for it."

"Dummy, it's your birthday party, so yeah, you do have to look all 'fancy.'" He turned around. "So get dressed."

Knowing there was no point in arguing, she put the dress on. Inuyasha turned back around when she was done and his jaw dropped. He quickly regained his composure. "Damn, it does fit you well."

Kagome blushed again. "But, there's still about forty-five minutes until it starts." she said. "What're we gonna do until then?" Rather than answer, he grabbed her hand and led her out of her room.

"Rule of thumb, Kagome. Parties always start early, even if the one throwing it doesn't know it. Anyone that arrives at seven-thirty's gonna look like a major chump."

They reached the living room, where Kagome's mom was waiting with a camera. "Mom, really?" Kagome asked. "Of course." her mother answered. "I didn't get any pictures yesterday, and the two of you look so cute all dressed up." She took a few pictures of the young couple before she finally let them go.

Inuyasha opened the car door for Kagome, and even shut it for her. I guess he can be a gentleman when he really wants to. He started his car, and they drove off.

They got to Sango's house quicker than Kagome thought they would have. Then again, Inuyasha wasn't one to obey speed limits when there weren't any cops around.

Hand in hand, they walked up to the door. When they got there, Sango had already opened it. "Aww! You two look sooooo cute! Happy birthday Kagome!"

"Thanks Sango." Kagome said as they walked in. All the furniture had been moved against a wall, with the exception of the few tables with booze on them. Much to Kagome's surprise, Inuyasha completely (or at least pretended to) ignored the alcohol.

Kagome noticed that a few people had arrived: Miroku, of course, Koga, Rin, and a couple other people from school she knew. Inuyasha was right. I guess parties usually are early.

By seven o'clock, Sango almost had a full house. There were loads of people. Thankfully, everyone remembered that Kagome didn't really like getting presents from people, except her pendant from Inuyasha and the dress from her mother.

"Kagome, I'll be back." Inuyasha told her as the music started. Sango decided to play Psychostick's Beer! first, and the party started.

Koga approached Kagome. "Hey, Kagome. I know it's a little late, but happy birthday." He had to yell over the blaring music for her to hear. "Oh, hi, Koga."

"Nice dress." he complimented. "Looks good on you." "Uh, thanks." "Need a drink?" Koga asked, offering her a cup of soda that smelled like vodka. "No, thanks." she said. "There's school tomorrow."

"Come on, Kagome." Koga persisted. "How often do you have a party like this?" Kagome sighed and took the cup, not having any plans on drinking out of it. "Cheers." Koga said, and he slugged his drink as Kagome stood there, wondering what was taking Inuyasha so long.

Meanwhile…

Inuyasha walked to the kitchen, looking for the promised vodka Kagome had mentioned. He found it and pulled it out. Fuckin' sweet. he thought. Wonder if I could talk Kagome into drinkin' a little tonight.

He turned around and almost walked into Ayumi, one of Kagome's weird friends. "Whoa, sorry." he said. As he started to walk again, he felt something tug his hand. He turned around in confusion to see Ayumi holding him in place.

"Uh, what're you doing?" he asked. She smiled. "You're Inuyasha, right?" she asked. Is this girl stupid or something? he wondered. "Yeah." he answered slowly, trying to walk away. Before he got very far, Ayumi walked in front of him. "Seriously, what's your problem, chick?"

"What?" she asked innocently. "Too good to talk to me? Or does Kagome not let you talk to any other girls?" Inuyasha stopped himself from sighing. "Okay, what is it you want to talk about?" As Inuyasha asked, he took a shot of the vodka.

Remembering his 'manners,' he offered the bottle to Ayumi, who accepted it and took an even bigger shot than he did. "Well, now that I'm thinking about it, how about a drinking contest?" she asked.

Is she serious? Does she not realize I could drink her under the table any day of the week? "No, thanks." he said. "Why?" she taunted. "Scared I'm gonna win?" Inuyasha sighed. "If I give you your little contest, will you leave me alone?" She nodded her head, and Inuyasha pulled two shot glasses out of Sango's cabinets.

He filled each glass, and they quickly downed them. They did this so many times Inuyasha lost count. Okay, I'll admit, the girl can drink. he though, feeling the alcohol taking effect.

He could see the same thing was happening to Ayumi, because she looked like she was going to fall over. She started to, and Inuyasha caught her. "Guess I win." he said. Ayumi started laughing.

"Guess so." she said, obviously wasted out of her mind. "You know, you're pretty cute." Inuyasha stood her back up. "Yeah, I've been told that." he said with no emotion.

"You know," she slurred, "I'm much, much better company than Kagome." Okay, that's it. Inuyasha thought. He started to walk away, but the drunken girl grabbed his hand and pulled him back while she whined, "Hey, I'm talking to you.

"Anyway, where was I? Oh, yeah. See, I'm more fun than Kagome. You should already knew that. How often does he," she stopped to laugh, "I mean, she, drink like this with you?"

"Look, I know what you're doing." Inuyasha cut in. "It's not gonna work. I barely know you. Besides, even if I was that kind of person, I wouldn't do anything at Kagome's birthday party of all places."

Inuyasha turned to leave. Ayumi slurred something, but he wasn't listening. Bitch. he thought. It's Kagome's fucking birthday, and she's gonna try that shit.

Back in the living room, Kagome had noticed Koga reeked of weed. He'd been talking about this and that, randomly changing the conversation. He seemed to like talking bad about Inuyasha, though, as he frequently changed back to that topic.

"Koga, are you high?" she finally asked. "What?" he asked, chuckling. "No! I mean, I won't lie, I'm a little buzzed, but come on." "You're high!" she yelled at him. "Even if for some reason I wasn't with Inuyasha, I wouldn't wanna date some stupid pothead that talks like you do all the time!"

She turned to walk away, but Koga pulled her back. "You know you love me." he said. "Besides, I'm much prettier than your idiot." He tried to force a kiss from her, but before he could, he was pulled back.

Inuyasha pulled the stoned idiot off of Kagome and let loose a punch to the face. "Bet even your greens can't stop ya from feelin' that." He grabbed Koga by the head and hit him again. "Don't ever try that shit again, or I will pull those bloodshot eyes of yours out and eat them."

Koga walked off, muttering something. Inuyasha saw him meet with Ayumi and they started talking about something. So, they teamed up in hopes of a mutual benefit.

"Inuyasha, I wanna go home." Kagome pleaded. He looked at her and saw something in her eyes he'd never seen before.

He was running through the old house, trying to find a place to hide. Come on, wake up! He can't get you if you're awake!

Kohaku tried everything to wake himself up as he locked the door to the bedroom he was in. He heard the man slowly coming up the stairs. Knowing he couldn't wake himself up, he tried screaming. "Somebody wake me up! Please! HELP!"

Inuyasha felt terrible when he saw the look in Kagome's eyes. "Okay, Kagome, if it's what you want."

They were about to leave when someone started screaming. They quickly turned to see Sango's little brother, Kohaku, floating off the couch!

Sango ran to him and grabbed his arm. "Kohaku, wake up! What's happening?" Suddenly, he flew into the roof, sounding a very painful sounding thud. Before anyone could react, he was being slammed into various walls.

After hitting each of the walls numerous times, blood erupted from his stomach. He fell to the ground as most people screamed and Sango scream-cried. Whatever was throwing Kohaku around like a rag doll rolled him over.

Cuts started appearing on his back. Kagome buried her face into Inuyasha's shirt as he watched. It took him a moment to realize the cuts were forming letters.

When they stopped, Inuyasha walked over to Kohaku's body, Kagome not daring to look. When he saw the words, he almost threw up.

Written on Kohaku's back were the words 'Freddy's Back.'
