Well de Rouge An Inuyasha X Moulin Rouge Tale

Chapter 3; Kagome's Call and Kikyo's Telegram

Inu-yasha walked in rather dazed in a hang over, but very sober for one who crashed the night in the room of the girl whom he had mistaken for the woman who 'dumped' him. He had never lost a verbal fight with a girl before, and somehow this one had one him over for the first time in his life.

The living corridor was filled with all his fellow prostitutes, both male and female. Most of the humans sipped their first cup of coffee, while most of the demons drank their cups of other odd juices. Inu-yasha's tastes did not care much for demonic food and drink. His interests were in soups, anything with chocolate, and almost any type of tea, preferably hot in the morning. Then their was his drink of solitude, which all had grown to be familiar with all ready.

So, as Inu-yasha walked through the corridor he came to pass the three wolf demons. One was a male while the other two were females. The females were of no concern to Inu-yasha, yee ale alpha was of far more annoyance.

"Ah! Inu-yasha, good to see you home safe and sober," he teased.

Inu-yasha let out a soft tired growl, "Don't start with me, Kouga. It's been a long night."

Kouga watched the half-breed not heed to stop and fight with him. Yet, the wolf had no trouble in pushing all of the gigolo's buttons. His persistence continued, "Long night, hey? What you do, meet the one you've dreamed about everyday? The one who'd actually still be there in the morning?"

Inu-yasha growled, "Lay off!"

The wolf snickered, "You say you don't believe in love, and yet you dream of it at night. Let me guess? She's got long fangs and seductive hips, and when you least expect it, she bites you?"

Inu-yasha roared and pinned to wolf to the wall, and then let out a threatening growl to ward him off. His eyes glowed red as he loosened his grip, and eventually they returned to normal. The half-breed let him go and snorted, "I'm warning you, Wolf! I have a hang over the size of this freaking city, and I'm not willing to get a bigger headache because of you."

With that, Inu-yasha shoved him and stomped off back to his room, slamming the door behind him. Kouga fixed his shirt and sneered at the door, "Humph! Stupid half-breed!"

Inu-yasha didn't hear this as he flopped down in his seat and rested his head on the arm of the comfy chair. He looked out his window to see the hotel he had stayed the night in that girl's room. What was her name? He couldn't remember, and though he wished his mind didn't keep wishing it did, he couldn't stop thinking about her song.

Somehow he could picture everything in his life through the lyrics of the song. The wolf was right in some way. Inu-yasha could deal with waking up the next morning and being the only one in an inn's bed, and finding money on the dresser, nightstand, or in his clawed hand. Just one thing always seemed to hit him in the morning, and it was his solitude. Yet, he could always remind himself that he had the next night, a place to come home to, his brother...Kikyo. This thing about love had become an excuse, a lie to not be alone. Love couldn't cure loneliness, as far he was concerned. It would just leave you wanting more of something that was never real.

He was about to wanted back into a dreamless sleep again, when there was a knock on the door. He groaned as he got to his feet, lumbered up to the door and flopped up against the door. He raised a brow as he beheld his brother in panic.

"Ses?"

"We're in trouble!"

Inu-yasha narrowed his brow ad his face pressed into the door, "What is it now?"

Sesshoumaru patted his cheeks to wake him up a bit more and entered the room as Inu-yasha closed the door. His brother fixed his hat and suit in the mirror and spoke rather fast, "Kikyo's dress for today has a large tear in it, and it's the one the duke gave her last night to wear later to day. It needs repairing and I can't take it to the tailor across the city today."

Inu-yasha flopped down in his chair again with a glass of whiskey and stared at his brother, "So what do I have to do with all of that?"

Sesshoumaru looked at him and whipped the glass out of his hand, "Don't you think you've gotten drunk enough for one night?"

Inu-yasha's eyes opened, "Who told you?"

"Oh please, no one had to tell me. I could tell when you roar echoed through the hall."

Inu-yasha watched him as he emptied the glass outside the window and slammed it on the center table, "Lay off the drinks for today, you have a client tonight and I don't want you smelling like one."

Inu-yasha got to his feet and looked out the window, "The girl!"

Sesshoumaru si and and looked at him, "What about her?"

Inu-yasha struggled to think, "The girl in that hotel! The one that was hear last night with the playwrights! She's a seamstress, and san dan do the work on Kikyo's dress."

Sesshoumaru looked out the window, "Did she tell you her ling of work?"

Inu-yasha scratched his head, "I don't remember, but I crashed their last night and I remember all the cloth and sewing kits in her room when I woke up. She can fix the dress."

Now, both brothers were not quite sure why Inu-yasha had thought of the girl coming back to the Well de Rouge, but Sesshoumaru shrugged it off and thought it was best and she was close enough.

It only took a moment for Sesshoumaru to call the hotel, "Salute?"

Sesshoumaru spoke in her foreign tough to the manager and was soon connected to the 'young seamstress on the top floor'.

Kagome ran to her phone and picked it up, "Hello?"

Sesshoumaru cleared his throat, "Uh! Is this the young seamstress whom opened her hospitality to my brother, Inu-yasha the other night?"

Kagome arched her brow and took her phone into hand as she sat on her bed, "Yes?"

Sesshoumaru spoke clearly again, "Ah, well, um, Miss...Miss--"

"Kagome!" she corrected him.

"Ah! Miss Kaggomen," he said incorrectly, making Kagome feel like she was talking to a total idiot, "I have received word that you are a local seamstress from sources and wish to offer you a job if you don't mind."

Kagome gasped and put the phone down as she got to her feet, "Yes, what can I do for you, Sir?"

"Well, it's nothing really. Miss Kikyo seems to have torn a dress that was a gift given to her not long ago, and I was wondering if you'd be kind enough to repair it."

Kagome ran her fingers through her hair, "Um, of course! I, um, I work at a rate--"

"Oh, well that won't be a problem. I'll pay you for...oh say two."

Kagome's jaw opened, "Um, Sir! I'm not really sure you understand how much it cost to have a dress repaired these days."

Sesshoumaru snorted, "Oh, well, I was sure it was still two hundred the last time I checked with my tailor up north."

Kagome gasped, "Two hundred?"

Sesshoumaru gave the phone a weird look, "Yes?"

Kagome looked at her sewing kit and then back at her phone, "What time should I come over?"

~~~~~~~~

Kikyo sat in her under garments as Kagome sewed her dress on a stool in the daylight. Kikyo was busy looking herself over in the mirror when she turned to look at Kagome. Kagome was completely focused on her stitching, and didn't seem to be very social.

Kikyo turned to the mirror, "I can see why he likes you."

Kagome picked her head up, "Whom?"

Kikyo laughed, "Oh, please isn't it obvious? You look almost exactly like me. The only difference is that you're still a girl."

"I'm sixteen! Last time I checked that was close to being a woman."

Kikyo shook her head, "Honey, let me tell you something. There are two kinds of females out there, okay? Women and girls! The difference is that girls dream of the perfect man and spend their whole life looking for him, and by the time they do, he's either no longer interested or is having an affair. Girls dream of love, but women know that love is not real. Women don't have to worry about men leaving them, because there are plenty more of them in the end. So, it never really matters. They're all after one thing, and nothing more, and as soon as they're sick of you, you're gone."

Kagome found this philosophy on her life rather rude and harsh, and did not believe it. Anyhow she had finished the dress, and held it up for her to see, "Finished!"

Kikyo looked it over, "Not bad!"

The courtesan grabbed a small roll of paper francs and placed them in Kagome's hand, "Here's the amount Master Sesshoumaru offered."

Kagome took the money as Kikyo went to put the dress on and call Kaede to come and help her lace it up. Kagome left silently after the old woman had arrived. She picked up her sewing kit and began to leave the corridor, but soon forgot her way and ended up by the stage where a few of the male dancers were fixing the curtains.

Kagome walked out to the stage and wandered it a bit as she looked it over. The wood had lost some of its shine from the night before, and looked rather dull. Kagome placed her sewing kit down and tried to impersonate Kikyo by walking rather over sultry and pouting her face.

"Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend, because women do not believe is love."

Kagome started to giggle to herself, and walked up to the edge of the stage, "The Miko Diamond, woman of the night."

She said this rather dramatic, and put the back of her hand to her forehead to fake being an actress. She found pleasure in this foolish little game, but Kagome felt no shame in it.

Kagome looked down at the dance floor, "A dance with me? I don't dance with boys."

Kagome giggled and turned around to go and get her sewing kit when she came face to face with the last person she would have wished to bump into while at the Well de Rouge. Kagome gasped in surprise and blushed.

Inu-yasha stood before her with his amber eyes directed straight at her. Kagome looked frightened for a moment before realizing who it was. Kagome's brown narrowed and he groaned, "What do you doing here?"

Inu-yasha looked her over, "More to the point, what are you doing here?"

Kagome glared at him, "Humph!" she pouted and pushed him aside as she went to pick up her sewing kit, "I only came to fix Miss Kikyo's dress for this afternoon."

Inu-yasha crossed his arms, "Really? So, let me guess? You just happened to find your way here so you could make a fool of yourself on an empty stage?"

Kagome turned up her nose, but Inu-yasha approached her, "I believe you owe me something."

Kagome glowered at him, "Like what?"

Inu-yasha growled, "Oh, gee, I don't know! Maybe a nice, 'Thank you, Inu- yasha for recommending me to your brother so I could find a job'? At least that would be better than standing here looking like an idiot on my stage."

Kagome stomped her foot and brought her fist and arms down at her sides, "Who said I needed your help to find a job around here? I don't need a drunken gigolo finding a job for me. Besides youuld uld be the one thanking me for giving you a place to stay last night."

Inu-yasha snarled, "Me? I got you this job, what more do you want from me?"

Kagome shoved him aside and stomped up to the door.

"Okay fine! Thank you!" Inu-yasha called out.

Kagome opened the door and gave him a dirty look, "No, thank you!"

Inu-yasha snorted and leaned over the stage, "You're welcome!"

Kagome stepped outside the door and yelled one last time, "No! You're Welcome!"

With that she slammed the door and left Inu-yasha throwing a tempter- tantrum on stage. He turned around and saw that the men working on the curtain were staring at him. The half-breed glared at them, and yelled, "What are you looking at?"

The men gasped and quickly returned to their jobs before Inu-yasha got anymore angrier than he all ready was.

~~~~~~~~~~

Later that night, Sesshoumaru had returned from his trip and was dressed for bed in his robe reading over a yellow slip of paper in Inu-yasha's room. He was smoking a pipe rather leisurely, which usually meant one thing, trouble.

Inu-yasha walked in rather casually with a roll of money from his female client and threw his jacket on his bed. He counted two thousand francs and placed the money in his pocket as he found his brother in his most comfortable chair, smoking in his robe and sleepwear.

Inu-yasha sat down on his dresser with his back to the mirror. He watched as his brother made small clouds of gray smoke with his pipe and waited until he spoke.

Sesshoumaru looked up as he removed his pipe before speaking, "How was it tonight?"

Inu-yasha smiled, "Ah, you know! Married woman have the best experience in the art of these things. Not to mention, they know how to spend their rich husband's money."

Sesshoumaru placed his pipe back in his mouth and groaned, "Well get used to it, because you'll be working over time for awhile."

Inu-yasha narrowed his brow in confusion and hopped off his dresser and came to his brother's side. Sesshoumaru got to his feet and handed him the slip of yellow paper, "It's a telegram...from Kikyo."

Inu-yasha opened the slip of paper and read it over a few times, "She's gone to her aunt's home in Burgundy. Due to what?"

"Illness, she's been stricken ill with some sort of disease in the liver. She wants to be able to support her until it's time for her passing."

Inu-yasha looked at his brother, "When did you get this?"

Sesshoumaru looked at the grandfather clock on Inu-yasha's wall, "It came in ten minutes before you came back."

Inu-yasha looked over the telegram, "We have to call her double in from the west and get the record ready."

Sesshoumaru watched his brother head for the door, "We can't!" he said suddenly.

Inu-yasha turned around, and Sesshoumaru continued as he leaned on the chair he was previously sitting in. He lit his pipe again and spoke slowly, "I called Dominique, and she's on leave for maternity, and the record has gone missing. However, it's useless without a stand in."

Inu-yasha closed his door, and walked up to his brother and collapsed in his chair and smoothed his hand over his face. He couldn't believe what he was hearing and asked his final question, "What do we do then?"

Sesshoumaru looked out the balcony and leaned over the rail and let a large of of smoke out of his mouth, "We audition every showgirl in the city to see if she can sing, dance, and act like Kikyo."

Inu-yasha nodded, "But what about the clients?"

Sesshoumaru sighed and turned back to the streets of Paris, "That's why we need to make sure we are completely accurate in who we choose to substitute for Kikyo. If she cannot be serviced for the pleasure of Kikyo's clients, you will have to work days until Kikyo returns. As for Kikyo's clients, we will have to tell them that she has another infection that needs to cure over time before she can be out again."

Inu-yasha slumped down in his chair, and looked up at the ceiling before speaking again, "Alright! When do we start?"

Sesshoumaru closed his eyes and opened them again slowly as he looked at the moon, "Tomorrow morning, at eight o'clock sharp and we need have one by five so we can teach her everything we know. No excuses, Inu-yasha. We need perfection!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, Kagome was called in to fix a few of the dresses for the prostitutes and other female dancers. Her work consisted of pinning and stitching, pinning and stitching, pinning and stitching, and so on. Though one thing remained and it was the fact that she could make money here and that mattered due to the fact that her six hundred francs were less than well, six hundred.

So far the tally lead up to a good three thousand dollars, not counting the tips some of the girls had given her. Her bonding with some of the girls seemed to make her feel more like she was part of the family, not to mention the tiny helper she had brought with her. Shippo of course was in an urgent need to get away from Sango and Miroku, who were fighting about their next plan.

Though, Shippo's presence came at a price as well. So, while Kagome sewed and pinned dresses and other forms of clothing, she made him do some simple shoe shinning for all of the gigolos. He had finished his tenth pair and whipped his little forehead before handing them to Kouga, "Here you are sir!"

Kouga looked over his shoes and smiled at the fox pup, "Not bad, kid!"

With that said, the wolf demon reached into his pocket to give the fox a shine gold coin, "Good work!"

Shippo took the coin and admired it for a moment before rushing to Kagome's shoulder, "Kagome! Kagome, look! Look! I made a tip! I made a tip!"

Kagome looked at the gold coin and smiled at him as she patted him on the head, "Good job, Shippo! I'm very proud of you!"

The tiny fox smiled and hopped back to his station to shine more shoes. Kagome shook her head as the tiny fox demon tried to shine the shoes better and work harder for another tip. Though the coin wasn't much, it would still be could enough to buy a candy bar or something later.

Kagome returned to her sewing and turned to look at the stage as the auditions. This girl was thin and rather beautiful, but her voice was far too bright and loud. The next one was far too large, and her voice was too deep. Pretty much every woman or girl who auditioned didn't seem to fit this certain part that Sesshoumaru was looking for, and it made Kagome wonder what the audition was for.

Shippo was out of breath soon and came to Kagome's side, "I need a nap!"

Kagome smiled and snuggled the tiny fox in her jacket and continued to sew when she over heard a conversation off stage. One of these voices she recognized as Inu-yasha's and the other being a French gigolo.

"Zere iz non more, Inuz-yazha! Zey aver all auditioned!"

Inu-yasha paced for a moment and stroked his chin, "None! Not one sounds or looks like her."

With that Inu-yasha left back stage and went out to the dance floor where all of the gigolos and ladies were with Kaede and Master Sesshoumaru. Inu- yasha took a seat beside his brother on a high stool and sighed, "That's all of them, Marc says. Looks like were outta luck for Tuesday Night."

Then one of the girls looked at him, "Tuesday?"

Sesshoumaru nodded, "Yes, for Monday is a Christian Holiday, and I'm not interested in small crowds on such holidays."

Inu-yasha looked at the floor and thought, "What now?"

The dog demon took a look at his clipboard of stats and reviewed them with his gigolos and ladies. While all of them bickered, Kagome peeked through the curtain and shook her head as Shippo crawled up on her shoulder.

"What are they talking about?" Shippo asked, but Kagome closed the curtain.

"It's none of our business, Shippo. Besides whatever it is they're talking about I'm sure they'll figure it out."

Yet Shippo's curiosity got the best of him and he scurried out to the side of the stage. He watched as Sesshoumaru refused and fussed as the girls giggled and gossiped. Each gigolo made his own conversation about each woman that tried out, and whether or not that one was attractive.

Suddenly, the stage crew closed the curtains and Shippo tried to keep up with the open part of the curtain until Kagome tackled him and dragged him off stage, "Come on! We've still got work to do!"

However, Kagome's capture didn't go unnoticed, for through the noise, his dog-ears captured the sound of Kagome's voice. He watched as the girl disappeared behind the closing curtain with the fox on her shoulder. It was at that moment he remembered the night before in its entirety, and he got to his feet to head back to back stage.

Shippo sighed and began to rub a spot on one of the shoes, and Kagome continued to pin a red dress, thus causing them to both to not notice that Inu-yasha was approaching them. The half-breed walked up on stage and took a seat on the stage high rise.

(I should have explained this earlier, but the stage is made of four major steps, each about a foot high until the next on up. In other words the highest is four feet, then down to 3, to 2, to 1, and then stage level.)

He looked at Kagome's work before she gasped and realized his presence. Inu-yasha sat up and looked her over, "Hum!"

Kagome looked around her and then back at him, "If you're looking to eat me, I'm warning you I won't go without a fight."

Inu-yasha glowered at her, "Well, one thing is right, you can't act like her."

Kagome arched her brow, feeling lost, "Like who?"

He looked her over again, "Yet you look like her, and you have a similar scent."

Kagome growled, "Who?"

Inu-yasha snorted, "Naw! What was I thinking?"

Kagome finally got to her feet and grabbed the half-breed gigolo by the collar, "Okay, last time, Fur ball! Who or and what are you talking about?"

Inu-yasha grabbed her wrists to remove them from his white dress shirt's collar, "I was just wondering if you could audition for Kikyo's double."

Kagome gave him a weird look for a moment, and then burst out laughing as she sat back down to pick up the dress she was working on. Yet, Inu- yasha's persistence continued and he nagged on about her trying out.

"Why not?" he whined,

Kagome looked up at him with a slight awkwardness, "You're serious, aren't you?"

Inu-yasha rolled his eyes and crossed his arms waiting her response to his proposal, but Kagome was not easily amused, "No!"

Inu-yasha grunted, but Kagome continued to ignore him. He pulled the dress from her hands and caught her attention again as she glared at him, "Look! I'm sorry for they way I treated you the past few days, but this important to us."

"Important? What do I look like, a actress?"

"No, but you could've fooled me if you learned to be one."

Kagome grunted, but before she could say anything, a man in the light fixtures called out to her, "Miss, we have a tear here in the curtain. Do you suppose you could fix it up before you go?"

Kagome got to her feet, "Sure, I'll handle that right about now I think!" she said giving Inu-yasha a dirty look before heading over to the corner of the stage to grab a latter. Inu-yasha followed her and helped her carry the latter without asking her if she needed the assistance.

Kagome continued, "Alright, say I did try out! I wouldn't make it, I guarantee it!"

Inu-yasha helped her to set up the latter and spotted her as she began to climb, "Why?"

Kagome sighed heavily and paused halfway up the latter, "Well, let's start with the basics, shall we? Let me see! I can't act, can't dance, can't sing, can't talk like her--"

Suddenly Inu-yasha interrupted her, "Whoa, hold the guarder straps! You sing beautifully, what are you talking about?"

Kagome looked at him rather suspiciously, "I can't sing! Besides what would you know about my singing?"

Inu-yasha looked away for a moment, until Shippo cut in, "You've been peeping haven't you? Busted!"

Inu-yasha growled at the fox before looking up at Kagome again and climbing up the opposite side of the latter to where she was, "Okay fine! The night I was in your hotel room I just happened...to over hear you singing on the roof. That's how I know, and that's why I want you to try out."

Kagome glared at him, "That song was not meant for you to hear, and besides, the only reason you want me to try out is because I look like Kikyo. I certainly don't sound like her."

With that, Kagome continued to climb while Inu-yasha watched her try to get away from him again. He groaned and looked out at the closed curtain, "Could have fooled me!"

"What?"

"Nothing!" Inu-yasha cried out as he made his way up to the top where Kagome was busy pulling thread trough the eye of her needle. Inu-yasha watched as she began to stitch the rip in the curtain.

"Why don't you at least try?"

"No!"

"What is it with you? You sing as though you love it, so why not go with it?"

Kagome stuck her needle in the curtain and left it there, "Look, I don't care this business or my singing for that matter."

Inu-yasha watched her as her glare faded and she returned to her work. He grinned suddenly and looked at her, "You've never been in love have you?"

Kagome shot a look at him, "What's that got to do with anything?"

"Well no wonder you're so cold and stiff."

"I am not! I just believe that love is something that should be put on hold until a person is ready for it. My work is my first priority."

Inu-yasha felt like laughing, but instead he said in a fake French accent, "Love is a many splendid thing! Love lifts us up to where we belong, all you need is love."

Kagome shook her head, "Oh please!"

Inu-yasha looked at her and leaned forward. He sang, "All you need is love!"

Kagome glowered at him, "A girl has got to eat!" she stated.

"All you need is love!" Inu-yasha repeated,

"She'll end up on the street!"

Inu-yasha leaned in closer and sang once more, "All you need is love!"

Kagome pushed him away, and suddenly responded the way he wanted her to. Thus, she sang, "Love is just a game!"

(Key; Inu-yasha = *, Kagome = ^)

*I was made for loving you, baby. You were made for loving me! *

^ The only way of loving me, baby is to pay you a fee! ^

*Just one try? *

Suddenly, she slapped him across the face, but he continued, *Just one try? *

^ There's no way 'cause I can't pay! ^

*In the name of love, one time in the name of love? *

^You crazy fool! I won't give in to you! ^

"Don't!" *Leave me this way! I can't survive without your sweet love. Oh baby! Don't leav thi this way! *

Kagome glared at him for a moment before grabbing her needle and sewing again, but her urge to sing had gotten to her and she continued, ^You'd think would had enough of silly love songs! ^

Inu-yasha gently took the needle from her hand and looked at her, *I look around me and I see, it isn't so! Oh, no! *

Kagome turned away from him, ^ Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs! ^

Inu-yasha shrugged his shoulder and looked at the bottom of the stage, *Well what's wrong with that? I'd like to know! 'Cause here I go! Again! *

As he sang the last note of the phrase, he grabbed hold of Kagome and slid both himself and her down the latter to the stage floor.

*Love lifts us up where we belong! Where eagles fly, on a mountain high! *

Kagome pulled herself free from his grip and responded, ^ Love makes us act like we are fools! Throw our lives away for one happy day? ^

Just as she turned around to leave, Inu-yasha cried out another line, *We can be heroes! *

Kagome spun around angrily, but he only grinned at her, * Just for one day! *

Kagome stomped up to him, ^ You? You will be mean! ^

Inu-yasha snorted, "No I won't!"

Kagome crossed her arms, ^ And I? I'll drink all the time! ^ she lied.

Kagome was about to leave him again, when Inu-yasha's voice stopped her again, *We should be lovers! *

Kagome looked over her shoulder and shook her head, ^ We can't do that! ^

Inu-yasha walked up to her and sang, *We should be lovers... * and placed a finger over her mouth so he could finish, *...and that's a fact! *

Kagome turned around and looked at him with soft eyes, ^Though nothing will keep us together? ^

*We could steel time-- *

^* Just for one day! *^

^* We could be heroes, forever and ever! *^

^* We could be heroes, forever and ever! *^

^* We could be heroes! *^

*Just because I will always love... *

^ I.... ^

^* Can open too... *^ (not sure about that one)

*You*

^How wonderful life is...^

^* Now you're in the world! *^

Kagome suddenly found herself under some kind of spell in Inu-yasha's eyes, and failed to notice that she had been singing so clearly and beautifully the entire time.

Inu-yasha grinned suddenly and turned to the curtain, and Kagome did as well. Suddenly, she found herself in front of a standing ovation of gigolos and ladies. Even Sesshoumaru's jaw hung open wide enough for her to see.

Inu-yasha cleared his throat suddenly and bowed, then motioned her to do the same. Kagome looked at her audience and smiled for a moment, but regained herself for a moment, and curtsied to them.

Sesshoumaru turned to Kaede, "Get those playwrights! I want to know if they will let me use their seamstress as Kikyo's stand in."

Kaede nodded and left as the group continued to clap and cheer. Sesshoumaru leaned back in his chair, "By gods! A miracle in Well de Rouge! Who'd of thunk it?"

~~~~~~~

A/N: Okay, that's long enough I think! Enough to do harm to you all a bit before the next chapter? (Mwahahahahahaha!)

Next time, Kagome finds out that she got the part without asking for it, but one problem still remains. She can't dance, and the next show is in three days. So, while Sesshoumaru is sweating beads over the fact his fake Miko Diamond can't dance, Miroku knows where she can get the best dance teacher. For who wouldn't be the best dancer and teacher but...Inu-yasha? Well, ya could have seen that one coming a mile away! (Sounds like Dirty Dancing? Yeah, it kind does, but I needed to make some kind of bonding mood and I thought this was best. Besides, Inu-yasha teaching Kagome how to dance erotically, and with a partner? Now that will be fun, don't you think?)
