A/N- The characters in this story may seem slightly OOC. This is my take on how they have matured over time.

Chapter 1- Where we are now (Part One)

~10 years after Naraku was defeated~

~Tokyo Modern Era~

~During Kagome's 24th year~

The car roared down the street and purred like a kitten as they pulled up to their destination. Bright lights and loud noises pumped blood into the veins of everyone in the vicinity. Kagome was no exception. She looked good, felt good, and in just a short while she would feel even better.

Kudon stepped out of the driver's seat and walked around to help her out onto the sidewalk. In her four inch high heel stilettos she did not need the assistance, but it always looked better for her image to be seen entering a club with someone else. Less people wanting to bother you that way.

Not that anyone would be bothering her tonight. Not when Ryuu was around anyway.

"Are you ready to see Ryuu?" Kudon whispered as they walked towards the nightclub's entrance.

"I am never ready to see Ryuu" She admitted, amused by the nauseated expression Kudon showed. He didn't like Ryuu. Not that she blamed him. She herself barely liked Ryuu.

Once they reached the entrance of the club Kagome looked up at the name written on the wall.

Club Hanyo

The name caused a familiar ache in her chest, but she pushed it down. She hadn't had those types of thoughts or allowed those memories for years. No, tonight would not be the night that box was opened. No. tonight she had business to attend to.

"Why did Ryuu have to pick this place for the meeting?" She asked Kudon. "I hate this place. Let's get inside. I am definitely going to need a drink."

"Worried about seeing Ryuu?"

She glanced up at the sign again. "Something like that."

The bouncer took one look at Kagome and Kudon and stepped aside, letting them in despite the growing line. People yelled at the bouncer but he didn't budge. Kagome had a reputation of sorts. No club would turn her away, especially considering that she was Ryuu's guest for the evening. Another bouncer appeared at the door and ushered them away from the other club goers and up towards a staircase leading to an upstairs section. Reserved only for VIPs. The upstairs held lounge chairs, a private bar, and a balcony view of the bodies gyrating downstairs on the dance floor. Kagome chose a plush sofa next to the balcony and began to watch the downstairs action.

It was complete chaos and it filled her excitement as the music reverberated off of the walls. She smiled at the feeling. It was only then that she noticed that most of the dancers were wearing masks. Horrible and beautifully painted masks alike with all kinds of animal and monster faces. The crowd danced to the pulsing beat. Limbs moving and flailing in a way that almost seemed inhuman. They looked like a pack of demons partying.

Even if it were only an illusion.

"The Festival of Demons." A voice whispered in Kagome's ear. Startled, she turned to see Ryuu with a smirk on his wickedly charming face. His black hair and dark eyes making him look particularly demonic himself in the low lighting of the upstairs bar.

She opened her mouth to greet him, but before the words came he was already seated next to her with a hand held to her cheek. Silently, he tilted her face back towards the dancers below.

"Don't you love it, Kagome?" He asked, his silky voice sliding over her like a snake. Emphasizing his words to dramatize them.

"Club Hanyo holds this event just once a month. An event where everyone can become a demon for a night. It give people the chance to bring their other faces and let loose their humanity." He is enjoying this way too much.

"Splendid, isn't it? I love this club. It's so poetic. Did you know that hanyo actually means half demon?"

She nods, biting down the feeling in her gut for the second time tonight.

"Though, I would have really loved it if you had brought a mask tonight, my dear Kagome. Not that your face isn't absolutely stunning. It would have been such a treat to see what demon you really are."

"Uh hmm." Kudon coughed loudly, clearing his throat with a pointed at Ryuu, before turning to her.

"Would you care for a drink Madame?" He asked in a professional tone

"Yes, please, Kudon. The strongest whiskey they have." He nodded.

"Straight no ice." She reminded him.

"Very well." He said with a slight bow, before leaving her alone with Ryuu.

Ryuu, whose lopsided smile became increasingly more and more sinister in nature.

"Well, well, well my dear Kagome. Hitting the hard stuff a bit early tonight? Is there something the matter? I don't bother you do I?"

He was teasing her, just he always did when she saw him. It was irritating the way he knew how to get under her skin.

It's just business, she reminded herself. I just need to stay focused on the task at hand.

"Not at all, friend." She smiled brightly at him, causing him pause.

"I am simply not one for festivals."
