So the night of the Halloween dance finally came. It just so happened that tonight was the night of the new moon so Inuyasha was a full human for the night. All the girls scurried around Sesshomaru's house getting ready and preparing their costumes while the Inuyasha Jeff and Miroku all sat on the couch waiting for them to finish. Even Rin was attending as a chaperon, she had asked Sesshomaru to accompany her but he had told her he had something important he had to attend to. The boys were dressed as United States marines, covered in heavy camouflage with a United States military field uniform. Ashley and kagome had decided on matching school girl outfits with mini skirts and white long sleeve button down shirts which they rolled the sleeves up anyway with ties to match their skirts.
Sango had decided to join the boys group of soldiers and was going as a female officer dressed in a very short camouflage skirt with a very revealing matching tank top that was covered by her officers jacket with her matching hat. Rin being only a chaperon decided to keep it simple and go with a slightly revealing cat costume mostly because it annoyed Sesshomaru.
"you guys ready yet?" Inuyasha yelled in annoyance after watching one of the girls fly by for the hundredth time.
" almost." he heard Kagome's voice reply from upstairs again for the the hundredth time.
"hurry up." Inuyasha complained. "were gonna be late."
"we still have plenty of time Inuyasha." Miroku answered looking over to Inuyasha earning a punch in the head.
" if they know that they will take even longer! Its what girls do man." Inuyasha replied seriously.
"we can hear you!" kagome yelled down. " we have plenty of time girls."
"great." they heard Songo's voice say.
" see you idiot now were screwed." Inuyasha huffed.
"were all done stop complaining Inuyasha." kagome said in an annoyed tone as she marched down the stairs followed by the other girls.
" about time." Inuyasha growled as he and the rest of the boys stood up to leave. They took separate vehicles because Inuyasha's car couldn't hold everyone. So Inuyasha kagome Sango and Miroku all squeezed into Inuyasha's car while Jeff and Ashley sat comfortably in Rin's Mercedes. Inuyasha arrived first but waited for Rin's group. When they finally arrived Ashley walked along side Inuyasha and kagome with Jeff since they needed to in order to get Jeff and Ashley inside. They walked up to the front door of the high schools gymnasium and presented their tickets before walking inside. The music was playing loudly and the bass pulsated threw the air as it bumped, which seemed to cause Jeff much discomfort. As the group walked in Kikyo and Koga were waiting and watching to their surprise two Inuyasha's walked in both with black hair.
"what the hell is going on." Koga asked completely dumfounded by this.
" i'm not sure maybe hes Inuyasha's cousin? Anyway we shouldn't concern ourselves with the likes of him go for the one with the ears that is with kagome." Kikyo gestured towards Jeff while speaking to a third party.
As soon as the group entered they immediately found a table to seat six Rin began walking around doing her duties Ashley and kagome switched back to their boyfriends while Sango immediately dragged Miroku onto the dance floor and they were quickly lost in the crowd.
"lets go dance guys!" kagome said excitedly
"yea come on!" Ashley said in a similar tone as she dragged Jeff out of his seat and onto the dance floor. Kagome did the same to Inuyasha. They began dancing kagome began softly grinding on Inuyasha and rubbing herself on him. This began to drive him crazy she moved so elegantly her body in perfect form sweat just barley glistening on her soft white skin. Ashley not being much of a dancer attempted to follow Kagome's moves much to Jeff's liking and she did so with grace and style after a little while she began throwing in her own moves and letting the music move her body. The couples danced for a good half an hour before Ashley pulled Jeff back to their table because she was exhausted.
"well that was something new." Jeff said smiling at the girl of his dreams.
" oh did you like that?" Ashley replied leaning her head onto him.
"well I have no compl.." Jeff answered before coming to a complete halt in his speech. He noticed a small girl with medium length black hair looking straight at him as she walked towards him.
"whats wrong?" Ashley asked looking up at him curiously. But he never got to answer she was already there. She sat across from them without any introduction and slid across the seat until she was at Jeff's other side.
"uhm hi do you mind if I steal him for a moment?" Kikyo asked tugging Jeff away from Ashley. This caused Ashley to feel uneasy and look at Jeff with uncertainty. But he could only respond with the same look. Although she thought she had seen this girl before she just didn't know where.
"so I know its been a little while I wanted to give it time to let things cool off between us but I couldn't stay away from you any longer I know those long restless nights we spent together had to mean as much to you as they did to me and I just want everything to be right again." Kikyo blurted as she hung herself on Jeff.
"what are you talking about who the hell are you?" Jeff answered pushing her away from him. He looked at Ashley to reassure he that he had never met this women before in his entire life but it was to late tears had begun to well up in her eyes and her lip began to tremble it was only a matter of seconds before she completely lost her composure.
"oh come on don't play stupid it wasn't all that long ago you were completely infatuated with me and couldn't get enough of me." Kikyo said smiling and leaning back onto his shoulder and winking up at him.
Ashley felt herself unable to hold back her tears she knew she had to leave here right now so she got up and ran into the crowd she ran as quickly as she could as she let the tears fall until she had finally made it outside where she turned the corner of the gym and let herself drop down against the wall and began crying into her sleeve.
" I don't even know you you fucking idiot get away from me." Jeff said angrily as he pushed her away and stood up to run after his girlfriend.
" but Inuyasha! Wait up" Kikyo yelled.
" you have the wrong guy moron!" Jeff yelled back after taking off after his girlfriend.
"wrong guy? What the." Kikyo said to herself. "oh no.."
kagome and Inuyasha had been dancing for awhile now and were really into each other no one else in the building seemed to exist at this particular moment. But suddenly they were interrupted when Inuyasha was sent flying across the room and into a table. Kagome looked up to see Koga standing in front of her grasping her arms tightly.
" what the fuck is wrong with you!" kagome screamed, causing Koga to squeeze her harder.
"I was sick of letting these weakling guys take you from me my dear kagome, if I cant have you ill take you and you'll eventually come around Koga chuckled as forced her to dance with him.
" Koga leave me alone!" kagome screamed.
" I was hoping you'd scream." Koga smiled as he pressed his mouth against hers forcing her into a long drawn out kiss.
As Jeff ran for the door he suddenly came to a halt as Inuyasha flew about an inch in front of his face before crashing into a table. Jeff turned to see a wolf demon gripping kagome tightly in his arms and then forcing a kiss on her. He looked at the door then at Inuyasha then back at kagome unsure of what to do. He quickly decided he had to help kagome so he dashed in that direction. Kagome had been in complete shock when Koga forced himself on her that she had no idea what to do but before she knew it she was free and Koga was standing five feet away and Jeff was in between them. Koga had dodged Jeff's attack by less then a centimeter.
" dog breath huh? Come to bail him out because he just cant handle me? Well news flash dumb ass neither can you." Koga said with a smug smirk on his face.
Jeff turned his head to face kagome, " go help Inuyasha then take him and find Ashley I believe she ran outside don't ask questions just go ill take care of this clown." Jeff told her in a serious tone.
" ok kick his ass for me." kagome winked as she took off after Inuyasha.
" wait a second, so your not Inuyasha? Then the other guy was.." Koga asked confused.
" no need for introductions or explanations I have no time." Jeff replied lunging at Koga.
" fine by me." Koga answered jumping out of the way. Only to realize that he had lost sight of his opponent. Before Koga could react Jeff had appeared behind him Koga attempted to turn on his heel and block the coming attack but was to late all he could do was turn into Jeff's punch which sent him flying across the room and into a wall. Jeff quickly dashed after him with a flying kick landing his foot on Koga's head slightly pushing it into the concrete wall behind him. Jeff then took off towards where he thought he sensed Ashley.
Back where Ashley was outside against the wall crying Naraku had quietly approached her and was now standing directly in front of her with his final step she had noticed him but it was to late. Naraku chuckled as she looked in fear as he leaned down to her level.
" well aren't you a pretty little thing." he said with an evil grin lurking on his lips.
"i don't need any help thanks i'm fine." Ashley replied wiping the tears from her eyes and feeling very uncomfortable all of the sudden.
" i'm not here to help you girl, i'm here to hurt you." Naraku answered laughing loudly now causing her to tremble with fear as he reached for her arm. " your death will cause that wretched dog more misery then he has ever known. He grasped at her but just as he was about to close his hand around her she completely disappeared. Naraku was astonished he turned around to see her standing a few feet away at the edge of the forest behind the school still trebling.
" your faster then I expected, but that's ok I like playing tag." Naraku chuckled. As he ran after her and she took off as fast as she could into the forest still trembling in fear. Naraku was right on her tail and quickly gaining she was beginning to panic.
Inuyasha and kagome had just made it outside and were in a frantic frenzy searching for Ashley who was no where in sight. When suddenly Jeff burst threw the doors and saw them and quickly caught up Sango and Miroku trailing behind him after watching the fight with Koga.
" what happened where is she." Jeff asked as he searched the area with his eyes.
" we don't know we cant find her." kagome said becoming very worried.
" what happened why was she out here anyway?" Inuyasha asked curiously. Jeff was now sniffing the area in search of her scent which was everywhere but then he could smell she had taken off in a panic into the woods.
" no time ill explain later meet me at Sesshomaru's house." Jeff replied before taking off full speed into the woods. He could now smell the scent of a familiar demon who seemed to be hot on Ashley's trail Jeff raced as fast as he could toward them.
' that bastard ill kill him if he so much as lays a finger on her!' Jeff thought as he raced after the two.
Ashley ran as fast as she could but no matter how hard she pushed her self she could feel his presence defiling the air behind her as though he was breathing right down her neck and she knew he was getting closer. Suddenly she felt him fall slightly behind she turned to look and saw him stopped on a tree branch just feet from her she never stopped running until she crashed into something.
She looked up to see her blood dripping onto a white cloth she was dizzy, she looked around in a haze she had broken her nose she could feel the warm liquid rushing out and watched as it trickled onto the white cloth that was wrapped around her chest holding her to something. She began looking around in a daze again and looked up to see a blurred image of Sesshomaru dressed in jeans and a white button down dress shirt which she had been bleeding onto the sleeve. He didn't look down at her or seem to pay any mind to the blood soaking his shirt. Then she passed out.
" so I finally found you demon." Sesshomaru stated in a cold tone never letting his eyes leave the demon.
" so you have.. and who might you be?" Naraku asked curiously.
" there's no need to introduce myself to a low life who shall soon be dead." Sesshomaru answered in the same cold tone as before.
" oh and who's going to kill me you?" Naraku chuckled.
" no.. i'm simply here to stall you until the one who will kill you arrives." Sesshomaru answered grinning. This caused Naraku to take a step. Just then he noticed the energy coming from Sesshomaru's body shooting upward. Naraku followed it with his eyes to see it was being distributed to a barrier that stretched over one square mile in size. This caused Naraku to tremble in fear.
" you have to kill me before he arrives if you want to have any chance at escaping." Sesshomaru pointed out with the slightest smirk on his face.
" WHO IS HE!" Naraku screamed as he lunged toward Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru's smirk grew. " him." Sesshomaru simply stated as he quickly dashed to the side. Naraku still in mid air moving toward the direction Sesshomaru had been standing in with the girl in his arms looked backward to see Jeff.
Jeff had released as much of his power as his body would allow him to without transforming the top half of his military costume had shredded to reveal his arms and areas of his chest and shoulders that were covered in ancient tattoos. Jeff was lunging toward Naraku with his heavy black sword raised as red energy flowed from every point in his body and sword completely surrounding him and his weapon as he moved. With his fangs bared Jeff swung his sword toward Naraku releasing a huge wave of red energy that Naraku almost couldn't avoid. Just as Naraku dodged the attack he turned to run to meet Jeff who had somehow managed to get in front of him. Before Naraku could react Jeff kicked him in the jaw as hard as he could sending Naraku flying toward the wall of the barrier Sesshomaru had created. As Naraku flew uncontrollably toward the wall Jeff swung his sword one more time in Naraku's direction releasing all of his power into one final attack another red light triple the size of the first emerged from the weapon and spun like a cyclone toward Naraku. Naraku crashed into the wall of the barrier only to be met with Jeff's attack not a second later the attack completely dissolved Naraku and the barrier sending horrifying screams across the forest.
Jeff quickly rushed to Ashley. Sesshomaru handed her over right away, Jeff held her loosely and began inspecting her.
" she will be fine, she broke her nose and will have one hell of a headache after running into me at that speed but she will be ok." Sesshomaru assured him.
" thank god." Jeff mumbled as he and Sesshomaru took off towards Sesshomaru's house.
" you trained her well Jeff, she was able to evade the demon just long enough for me to arrive." Sesshomaru smirked at the surprised look on Jeff's face.
" how did you know?" Jeff asked curiously.
" well i'm not exactly sure how you did it to be honest," Sesshomaru began speaking as they ran threw the air his tone becoming much more serious now. " you did not mate the girl this I can sense, and yet it seems she has gained a few of your abilities, but without proper training there's no way she would have been able to move that fast and elude that demon for as long as she did." Sesshomaru stated as though it was obvious. Jeff nodded.
" well we weren't exactly sure how it happened either, I believe it had to do with the night when she healed me." Jeff said also very seriously.
" could have been." Sesshomaru replied as they quietly landed on his door step and walked into the house. When they opened the door Inuyasha kagome Miroku Sango and Rin were all sitting there waiting for their arrival. All three women gasped as Jeff walked threw the door with Ashley unconscious in his arms.
" oh my god is she ok." kagome immediately asked jumping to her feet and running to see her cousin.
" shes fine just a broken nose." Sesshomaru repeated as he motioned for Jeff to take her upstairs and let her lay down. Kagome followed him as he ascended the stairs.
" so what happened?" Rin asked curiously.
" well to be perfectly honest i'm not exactly sure, I can tell my part but I would say kagome Ashley and Jeff know what really happened." Sesshomaru started.
"I was tracking the demon for quite some time my people had been on him and he never knew they informed me that they had him and that's where I went tonight so as I followed him he began moving threw the woods behind the school, I immediately assumed his target was one of you but I had been to far behind to catch him fast enough at this point, I didn't have much choice but to stay far away so he didn't sense me tracking him." Sesshomaru began. " and just when I feared he was getting to the school where you guys were he turned around and began running full speed directly at me, now I had thought he realized I was tracking him until I sensed another being running at me as well just barley ahead of him, he was chasing this person." he explained. " I could smell fear and then I realized it was Ashley although she was moving at unreasonable speeds I was sure it was her, so I stood my ground and waited for them to come to me, and when I saw them coming I know the demon saw me and I thought Ashley did as well but then she turned around and crashed right into me and that's how she broke her nose and fell unconscious, and Jeff took it from there." Sesshomaru finished.
" so what your saying is its actually your fault she's hurt because you didn't stop her before she slammed into you?" Rin asked suggesting he had the power to catch her safely.
" well Rin that's a really bad way to put it you make it sound like I intentionally hurt the girl." Sesshomaru defended.
" but you didn't answer the question could you have stopped her safely?" Miroku butted in.
" well I probably could have if I wasn't carefully watching the demon behind her who was trying to kill her, so that she could escape I didn't exactly expect a girl who could out run a demon for as long as she did to come crashing into me, and who the hell are you anyway?" Sesshomaru turned the tides on Miroku.
" that's my friend Miroku Sesshomaru remember, you've met him before." Inuyasha chipped in.
" oh yes hes the one who likes to eat." Sesshomaru replied shooting Miroku a death glare.
" anyway are you sure the demon is done for this time?" Inuyasha asked curiously.
" yes, we watched him die this time." Sesshomaru answered.
" ewww..! that's disgusting!" Rin squealed.
" your just lucky we didn't bring him home for you to cook." Sesshomaru joked.
" ew ew ew ew!" Rin screamed in horror as she thought of serving demon parts to her friends on a platter. Then she suddenly fell quiet along with everyone else as Jeff and kagome walked down the stairs and sat down with everyone.
" so does anyone want to elaborate on what happened?" Sesshomaru asked looking to Jeff.
" well I guess I can start." Jeff answered. " me and Ashley had just finished dancing and sat down to talk for a bit, suddenly some random girl I had never met before with a really annoying voice came over and made up these lies about being with me and saying all these terrible things, before I even had a chance to tell her to get lost Ashley took off crying." he began to explain. " apparently the girl thought I was you." Jeff motioned towards Inuyasha. " she was surprised when I said I was not so I took off after Ashley then Inuyasha almost took my nose clean off my face as he flew by me."
" yea that hurt." Inuyasha pitched in.
"so I went and kicked that mangy wolfs ass real quick and then went after her again." Jeff continued. " by the time I got outside Inuyasha and kagome were there but Ashley was gone so I took off in the direction she went and told them to meet me back here, and I think you guys know what happened from there." he finished.
" that's weird it must have been only a minute after that girl approached you that Koga approached me and tossed Inuyasha." kagome said with a curious look on her face.
" can everyone stop talking about me like i'm some kind of pathetic weakling!" Inuyasha yelled very annoyed.
" as soon as you stop being weak." Sesshomaru chuckled.
" wait til I get my power back i'm gonna kick your ass." Inuyasha threatened.
" hey Jeff what did this girl look like?" kagome asked.
" well she was thin short pale white skin with medium length black hair brown eyes an annoying voice and she carried herself as though she were royalty." he explained.
" and that explains it all!" Sango yelled.
" what do you mean?" Miroku asked.
" Kikyo duh." Sango answered.
" hey that could make a lot of sense!" kagome said putting it all together. " maybe she used Koga to try and get me away from Inuyasha but her plan back fired when she didn't know who was Inuyasha and she went after the wrong guy!." kagome explained.
" that's true." Miroku said finally realizing.
" if it makes you guys feel better shes failing my course." Rin chipped in.
this caused kagome to burst into laughter. " ugly and stupid." she said while giggling. " hey Inuyasha your awfully quite?" kagome said in a curious tone wondering why.
"well I was just thinking Kikyo wasn't a terrible person when I was dating her it wasn't until you guys slept over that she really showed how mean and controlling she could be, but at the same time I think any girl would have been upset about that?" Inuyasha began to say.
" and what are you getting at?" kagome asked curiously.
" well I broke up with her on the spot and was kinda mean partly because I was mad at her and partly because I liked someone else." Inuyasha looked at kagome now. " I cant blame her for wanting to get revenge for being humiliated but I also cant help but think maybe she just needs to make some friends of her own so she can stop being so obsessive over everything." he finished.
" well that's an interesting observation Inuyasha." Rin applauded.
" well not to rain on your parade Inuyasha but I tried being her friend back in elementary school because I had no other friends and all the boys liked us so I figured we had something in common and she was just always mean and nasty to me for no reason." kagome said thinking back to all the mean things Kikyo did.
" maybe she felt threatened by you because she thought you were really prettier then her? So she made fun of you to make you feel like you weren't." Rin suggested.
" who cares she can be lonely and friendless forever for all I care especially after a stunt like that." Sango jumped in.
" yea I cant say i'm particularly worried about her social life." kagome agreed.
" well i'm going to bed everyone is welcome to stay the night I suggest letting Ashley sleep shes probably exhausted someone can explain everything to her in the morning." Sesshomaru said as he walked up stairs followed by Rin.
" goodnight everyone." Rin said as they walked out of sight.
" well I guess we should all go to bed to." Inuyasha suggested.
" yea sounds like a plan i'm beat after this night." kagome agreed.
" Miroku Sango you know where your sleeping." Inuyasha asked referring to the room they spent the night in last time.
" yes." they both replied Miroku slightly excitedly and Sango rather shyly with a slight blush crossing her face that on one noticed.
" kagome you know where your going." Inuyasha said as he stood up and headed for the stairs.
" yup." she replied smiling. As her and the others got up and followed him, leaving Jeff behind.
" goodnight." Inuyasha and kagome waved them off as they passed Miroku and Songo's room first. Then they arrived to Inuyasha's room and Kagome's which was supposed to be across the hall.
"goodnight." Inuyasha said as he opened his door and walked in.
"shouldn't you wait until were in bed before saying goodnight to me?" kagome said in a soft cute voice as she shut his door behind her.
"oh when I asked if you knew where you were.." Inuyasha began startled that she had followed him into his room.
" I know what you meant but id rather sleep here with you." kagome answered with a sheepish grin as she jumped onto his bed.
