Kagome stirred softly in her sleep, visions of blood and gore filled her dreams as it so often did as of late. A quiet whimper echoed through the pink flesh surrounding her mouth as another flash of grotesque thunder immersed itself in her sleep.

Still dreams were now a thing of the much longed-for past, her mind lay unsettled as more beastly thoughts ripped through her, and the first rays of light scoured through the lavender curtains hanging alongside her window, searching for something, anything to lay it's warm and gentle hand upon. As the beacon reached her face, a last cry swam from the hollow depression in her face and severed any happy thoughts beaming through her room.

Kagome's eyes glared open as the thoughts embedded in her dreams mingled with the nightmares of her fresh thoughts forced her drifting brain to wake, and begin a new day of work. She remembered nothing...

~In the depths of a forest~

Silver and white collided as the hanyou jumped and swirled through the forest air, an unexplained rage filtering through his veins, the flash of a sword and the smaller demon melted into oblivion. Breath slid easily out of the hanyou's lungs as he landed soundlessly on the forest floor. Sheathing the living blade at his side, Inu-Yasha turned wordlessly, and headed to the small village that he called home.

Today was different, something was wrong with him, his adrenaline was pulsing at the rate his heart did, there was nothing worth doing that could settle him either, he had tried.

At sunup, a brisk run through the forest, just after, the slaying of a contemporary foe, yet again, the death of a brother demon. Nothing would slow him down, and it was irritating. He was mad at Kagome, she had left him again, nothing new, but her reason left him raging.

"To find someone with emotion, someone who shows they care..." He spat the words is if they were poision, and flew to find another prey to still his unsettling energies. He cared, she knew that, so what if he didn't hold her , so what if he wouldn't kiss her, she was here to aid him in finding the shards of the Shikon no Tama, not to bother him with such unimportant matters of love and the like. "Bah, she'll get over it."

His claws flew to meet cold, rushing air as his eyes fell to the ground and spotted his next activity.

~The streets of Tokyo~

"Kagome! Kagome over here, look, I found someone for you tonight!" A sigh riveted through the air as Kagome blinked, forced a slight smile, and ran towards her friend. "Wow, you found a guy already? Great, is he cute?" White smiles flashed around the circle of highschool girls and giggles followed. "Is he! Wow, I was tempted to drop Hojo-chan for him! He's got long black hair, the most gorgeous eyes you've ever seen, their black, and so sparkly! Oh kagome, you'll look great tonight at the party!" Kagome's eyes flashed brightly as her grin broadened, maybe tonight would not be so bad...

Footsteps pounded concrete as she bounded home, mentally putting outfits together and throwing them away, by the time she reached her shrine enshrouded home, her mind was made, her outfit set. Her date was to be a bad boy, her friends had described his character throughly, and he, unlike most others, rid her mind of any thoughts of the hanyou in the past. The blood-red miniskirt hanging in the back of her closet suited this occasion perfectly, a red ribbon here in there, flashing brilliantly through braids of her shoulder length black hair, a velvet, low-cut crimson sweater, the attire would suit her chosen look nicely.

Applying a bit of dark purple eye-shadow lightly, followed by dark crimson lipstick, and a bit of black lip-liner, she smiled pixily at the mirror, liking the reflection that peered back at her.

The doorbell rang at 7:00, and she bounded down the steps, attempting to tie all of the knots on her knee-high obsidian boots, and fastening the skull buckle at the top and around her ankle.

The oak door standing between her and the outside door flew open and she greeted the large group of girls, all adorned nearly the same, with a wide grin.

Tonight was their night to party, they were graduating from high-school the following day, so they had decided to attend one of the more sinister parties.

Kagome stepped from her porch and leapt into the waiting vehicle parked near the curb. Four boys sat in the car, she recognized all but 1, this was her date. she grinned devishly at him, "I'm assuming your my date, you ready to party?" The boy blinked lazily at her, shaking his head slightly, he sighed and murmered a quiet "Yes." Kagome peered wonderingly at him, "What's wrong?" He caught her eye and frowned, "Your friends told me you were intelligent, your dressed like a whore." Kagome stared at him, her thoughts in a blur, "I dressed like this for you, i was told you liked women like this." Another impatient nod was her answer, "No, I am usually in their company, but yet you see i am still single, does it appear that i favor women that show their bodies to complete strangers?"

Kagome smiled sheepishly, "I'll be right back!" Her skirt swirled softly as she twirled and bounded back towards her home. Throwing open the front door and flying up the steps, she grabbed the nearest pair of dark jeans and threw them on, her hands already unfastening the buckle in the back of her skirt. She bounded back down the stairs and jumped into the car, her date smiling more easily now.

Unbeknowest to her, yellow, narrowed eyes peered through her bedroom window, eyeing the miniskirt on her floor.

Silver hair swayed softly in the night breeze as Inu-Yasha glared at the moving chunk of fashionable metal, his breath becoming more and more jagged as it moved from his line of sight.
