A/N: Given that it is now October and my kids are counting down the days to trick-or-treating, I have decided to write a short Halloween-inspired story. It will be only five or six chapters, based on prompts from the LiveJournal community dokuga_contest. Chapters will of varying lengths depending on the constraints given for the particular week’s contest. My goal is to have the story complete by the end of the month.
A mature rating has been given as a precaution for future chapters yet to be written.
Special thanks to LC Rose for giving this the once over.

Chapter One - Awakened
‘Kami, what time is it?’ Kagome groaned at the insistent pounding on her door. ‘7:00?!?! It’s Saturday!’
“Open up, Kags!!!!” Kagome bolted out of bed, instantly awake at the sound of a familiar voice yelling in the hallway. Throwing open the apartment door, she pulled Eri inside before the girl woke up the entire building.
“What’s wrong with you?” Kagome hissed. “And what are you wearing?!” Kagome knew her friend had a quirky sense of fashion, but what the hell was with the feline dominatrix getup?
“We’re going out,” the eccentric girl replied, shoving a bag into Kagome’s arms. “C’mon, get dressed! Ayumi and Yuka will be here any minute!”
“But what’s in…?” Kagome trailed off, yawning.
“Special attire is required,” Eri replied mischievously, turning Kagome and giving her a slight push toward the bedroom.
Shaking her head, exasperated, but knowing resistance was futile, Kagome went to dress. She had a very, very bad feeling about this. Nothing good ever came from Eri’s crazy schemes.
‘Let’s see…,’ she thought dumping the bag’s contents on her bed.
“No way in HELL!” Kagome shouted, staring at the “outfit.”
“Don’t make me come in there, Kags!”
Twenty minutes and several contortions later, Kagome emerged to find a sexy nurse and Playboy bunny had joined Eri.
Yuka let loose a low whistle. “You look hot, Kags!”
“I feel naked!” Kagome whimpered, dressed in what amounted to no more than scarlet hot pants and bra with sequined flames crisscrossing her bare midriff and breasts. The entire ensemble was topped off with thigh-high red pleather boots, glittering horns and pitchfork.
“You’re perfect,” Eri declared excitedly, dragging Kagome out the door before she could protest.

As the girls drove toward their destination across town, a long-dormant creature awoke, golden eyes glittering in the darkness of his prison…waiting.
