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

At long last, I'm finally back from my college summer program. I saw all of your reviews and was surprised how many reviews I got while I was gone. So, without further or do, here my friends his chapter two...sorry I liked the rhyme. Here is chapter 5!

Okay, you can scream and cheer for joy now. Don't worry I'll wait.....(sounds of cheering).....okay? Great! Here we go!

WARNING FOR LEMONY STUFF; no this is not the lemon, but I am placing this warning just because there is some lemon like content in this chapter where Kagome and Inu-yasha have a conversation about her breasts and he ends up touching them. But there is not sex scene...yet!

~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 5; Feel the Rhythm of the Night

Loud sounds of cheering and cooing came like waves behind the curtains of the Well de Rouge. Here Kagome stood in her blood red gown that bared her shoulders and black lace gloved hands. Her eyes covered in dark browns and reds, and heavy amounts of black eyeliner. Not to mention the uncomfortable fake eye lashes, which took a lot of her will power not to rub. She looked like a whore; there was no denying it, but some how despite the uncomfortable feeling in her eyes and around her body where the corset broke her figure she felt beautiful. One thing remained though; she did not feel like herself. Kagome wanted to be freed from this priso
As
As Kagome peeked out the side of the curtain waiting for her number, Inu- yasha silently approached her. He pulled the curtain aside a bit more so he could look too, and Kagome looked to her side to find her company. "There are so many!"

Inu-yasha smirked and closed his eyes. "What would you expect?" he said letting the curtain close behind him as he walked back stage.

Kagome came to his side as he took a seat in a chair in the power room. She took a seat beside Inu-yasha and watched him as he began to take a make- up brush and paint his eyes with a thick layer of black eyeliner. Now he looked like the Inu-yasha she had remembered the first night she came to the Moulin Rouge. Kagome watched as he applied power to his cheeks and powered his nose somewhat only to sneeze when it tickled his dog nose. She giggled for a moment, but stopped as soon as Inu-yasha gave her a look.

Suddenly after Kagome stopped laughing, Inu-yasha looked her over with great thought. She could tell that the wheels in his head were turning, and that fact he was looking over her body make her worry that Kaede had not made the corset tight enough. Inu-yasha was oddly enough staring at something on her body, and it took Kagome a moment to realize what it was. Once she did, she took not time in slapping him across the face.

"How dare you!" she scowled.

Inu-yasha growled and touched his red cheek, "What the heck is wrong with you?"

Kagome crossed her arms and turned away from him, "You were staring at my breasts."

Inu-yasha leaned forward in his chair and glared at her, "It's not like I haven't seen a woman's breasts before, what are you so paranoid about? It's not like I was admiring them."

Kagome blushed somewhat and glared at him, "Then explain your business with them. Why were you staring?"

Inu-yasha snorted and pulled her arm so she could look her over again. He then sat back as Kagome blushed with embarrassment at the fact she was letting him look at her breasts. Finally she turned to a female dancer beside him and asked her to hand him a case. She did so and Inu-yasha stood before Kagome with a red wooden box in both hands.

Kagome leaned forward and peered into the box to find odd shaped pads, and as she pick one of them up and looked at it, she looked up to him. "Inu- yasha, what are they?"

Inu-yasha smiled deviously, and Kagome took the hint all too quickly before placing the item back in the box. "Oh no, they're just fine they way they are. I don't need bigger breasts."

Inu-yasha groaned, "You're not the same size as Kikyo, though. You have to make sure you look like her."

Kagome looked at her breasts, and then up at him. "Do you think they're too small?"

Inu-yasha's eyes opened wide and he stumbled on words, "Wha....what are you saying? Are you asking me if I find them attractive?"

Kagome looked into the mirror and sort of blushed at the fact she had asked him such a stupid question. She looked at her figure from the side and looked at her breasts. Somehow, she felt ashamed of her body and took the fake breasts reluctantly.

"I guess they really are pitiful compared to Kikyo's. It's amazing that we look so much a like, and yet there are so many small things that are different about us."

Inu-yasha blushed slightly as he looked at her once more. He wanted to tell her that there really was nothing wrong with her breasts. In fact, just being smaller made them look more appealing. Yet, one thing remained. Kagome did not have Kikyo's breasts.

He closed the box and had tak take a seat beside him as he pulled a curtain around them and he took the fake breanto nto his hands. Kagome looked at him as he put one down and held the other one. He placed the first one in her hand.

"Just to make sure, do you know how to put it in?"

Kagome felt red again, but shook it off as she attempted to place the implant in her dress. The corset however, didn't make it any easier and she gave up by the third try. Inu-yasha groaned and took the implant.

"Hold your dress open."

Kagome looked at him and was prepared to argue but he stopped her, "Don't start with me, you don't have a lot of time."

Kagome sat back in her seat and then turned her head away as she opened the front of her dress. She felt his hands reach under her breast and tuck the fake one into place, and then he took the second and did the same. He then had her let the dress go and adjusted her. Through out the whole process, Kagome felt mortified, but oddly enough, she found that Inu-yasha was not phased my her breasts. The fact that he had seen them, and not to mention touched them, made her feel rather odd. Like he didn't think of her as a person, just a toy.

Inu-yasha looked up at her. "What?"

Kagome looked at her breasts and tried to get used to the new odd feeling in her chest. "You...you weren't surprised or embarrassed when you touched my breasts. You've just touched things I normally don't let men touch, especially men like you."

Inu-yasha snorted and looked at her. "Your breasts are no different from any of the others that I've seen. It's not such a big deal to me any more, so what does it matter to you?"

Kagome closed her eyes and lowered her head, "I feel like, I don't know. I guess I was expecting some kind of reaction."

Inu-yasha snorted, "We're creatures of the night here, Kagome. We don't react to things like you do. Breasts are nothing to me, no woman really is as long as they can pay for my services."

Kagome looked at him. "I guess you're right then. They mean nothing to you, and you mean nothing to them. Is that it, Inu-yasha?"

The half-breed gigolo found himself speechless. He had heard these words come from a common girl who made less money than him, and some how, the words had pierced his heart. There was something in side of him that didn't quite feel right, and it hurt. Inu-yasha ignored it and tried to act like what she said didn't make sense to him.

Kagome then got out of the chair and adjusted her dress. "Good luck tonight, Inu-yasha! I hope you please your client after the show."

Inu-yasha watched her leave silently, but it wasn't the fact watching her go made him feel that odd feeling inside of him again, it was the fact she smiled at him when she offered him her best wishes.

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

Kagome shivered in her dress as she tried to remember what she and Inu- yasha had gone through. She was suddenly dead tired and could no longer find the will or the power that made her dance the way she had all weekend. She felt strangely alone and scared.

Her partner, Jean (pronounced Jee-ahn), came at last with his tux and top hat, "Are you ready, Miss Kagome?"

Kagome looked at the closed curtain, and suddenly felt like she was naked in front of millions that weren't even there yet. She was nervous with stage fright.

Suddenly she went to the back of the stage and tried to stop the pounding in her chest. Sango came to her side in an evening gown, and looked at her. "Kagome?"

The frightened girl looked at her friend, "Sango, I can't do it! I can do this I'm just not ready!"

Not far, Inu-yasha was with his brother who was talking to one of the gig whe when he saw Kagome with Sango. The half dressed half-breed narrowed his brow and cap top to the two of them.

"Kagome, what are you doing back here? You're the next number!"

Kagome placed her hand on her heart, "I can't do this!"

Inu-yasha bent down slightly to her level, "What are you talking about? We went through this together remember?"

Kagome nodded and looked at him, "I know! It's just that..."

Her words trailed off and she looked at the ground. Inu-yasha sighed and then reached into his side pocket. In a moment he pulled out a small light pink diamond on a gold chain and placed it around her neck. He looked at her and then placed one claw on the diamond.

"It was my mother's! She called it the Shikon Diamond because she thought it granted the wishes of whomever wears it."

Kagome looked at the diamond and theck ack at her teacher, "Why...why are you--"

"For good luck," he interrupted, "I suppose you'll need it too!"

Kagome smiled at him and hugged him, "Thank you!"

Inu-yasha blushed slightly from her reaction and then shook it off and pulled her from his body. He turned away from her and closed his eyes. "You better go before you hold up the show."

Kagome looked at him, and saw the slightly sad look in his eyes once he opened them. He still didn't look at her and before she could touch his face to have him look at her, Jean called through the curtain, "Miss Kagome!"

Kagome nodded and hurried up to the stage. As the curtain closed, Inu- yasha turned to watch her disappear, felling that odd heavy flutter in his chest again. It took a great deal of strength for him to summon up the will to turn away and return to his normal state. He hid his feelings from prying eyes, again, and question what was going on with him.

Kagome came to Jean's side as everyone rushed to get into position. She felt strange as Jean placed his arm ad hed her, and the feeling was uncomfortable to her. She felt a tear form in her eyeshe she thought to herself, I don't know you all that well, Inu-yasha, but I wonder if you ever feel pain. Are you lonely on those cold winter nights? Always waking up to find money instead of a warm body beside you? I wish I could see things they way you do. I wish that just this once, I could dance with you and help you see that you don't have to be alone. I wish I knew how to heal the pain you must hide everyday. I wish I knew how...how to make you feel the way I do when I dance with you. I wish you would dance with me. I wish you were dancing with me right now!

Suddenly, Kouga came rushing through the curtain and bumped into Jean. Jean didn't know what hit him and suddenly lost his balance on the stage and fell on his elbow hard. Kagome gasped and came to his side a long with the rest of the dancers.

Kouga came to his side. "Jean, I'm so sorry! Are you alright?"

Jean lifted the arm that he fell on and gasped in pain, "My right arm! I must have fell on it too hard. I think it's broken."

Kagome gasped and tried to help him to his feet. "Kouga, find Sesshoumaru and Kaede!"

She helped Jean backstage just as Sesshoumaru, Kaede, and Inu-yasha came to the scene. Inu-yasha was getting ready for his number, and was dressed in white paints and a black sleeveless dress shirt with cuffs at his wrists.

Jean shook his head, "I've done something to it. I can't go on!"

Sesshoumaru shook his head, "This is bad! Marc can't do it now because he's in the next number, and I can't loose a man for...Inu-yasha?"

The half-breed looked up at his brother, "What?"

Sesshoumaru snapped his claws together and pointed at his younger sibling, "You taught her! You go and dance with her!"

Inu-yasha gave him an odd look and then at Kagome. The girl shook her head. "But, what about his number?"

Sesshoumaru thought hard for a moment and then gathered the two together. "Alright here's the new plan!"

~~~~~~~~~~~

The music started and Kagome's heart raced as the curtain opened, and despite the butterflies in her stomach, something inside of her snapped. The words came to mindmind and she thought like Kikyo would if it was really she instead of Kagome.

*The French are glad to die for love...*

Kagome walked down the stage swaying her hips and held out her arms as gigolos grabbed hold of her and lowered her into the crowd of men.

*A kiss on the hand maybe quite continental

But diamonds are a girl's best friend

As mas maybe grand but it

Won't pay the rental on your humble flats,

Or help you feed your cat.

Men grow cold as, girls grow old,

And we all loose our charms in the end.

But spare cut or pair shaped

These rocks won't loose their shape

Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend. *

Kagome danced with a few of the men and gazed into their lovesick and desire filled eyes. The rush swept her up, and she was lost in her own dominance over them all. She was the master of their desires, a snake charmer to the snakes in the hall.

"Tiffanies" "Cattier"

*For we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl. *

Kagome came to a dark figure and blew a kiss in his face, and then turned back to the boys on the dance floor. "Come and get me boys!"

They picked her off the ground and carried her over their heads. Inu-yasha scrambled around to doors that lead under the stage with Sesshoumaru who was not far behind. His brother went to the right of the stage and appeared through a trap door just as Kagome came up to him.

(Note, I'm not sure what she says here either so just go with me okay?)

"That's all! Last Call? Talk to me, Sessy Darling, let's tell them all about it!"

*There may come a time when a girl needs a lawyer. *

^But Diamonds are a girl's best friend^

*There may come a time when your boss thinks you're-- *

^ Awful nice! ^

*But get that ice or else no dice! *

^He's your guy when stocks are high, but beware when they start to descend! ^

Sesshoumaru led Kagome to the center of the stage and let her stand there until the trap door behind her opened.

*Diamonds are a girl's best

Diamonds are a girl's best

Diamonds are a girl's best friend! *

And right on cue, Inu-yasha appeared behind Kagome and grabbed hold of her hands, and dipped her to the side as her hand touched his face. "Let's make love!"

As the music played Kagome danced with Inu-yasha at her side. Soon the feeling she had while dancing with the men below the stage disappeared, and she found herself lost in the amber shades of Inu-yasha's eyes. His face was faking that of a man drunk with desire, but his eyes held something completely different. It was as though he could feel this odd thing inside of her.

Kagome knew what it was, and it somehow revolved around every thing that she had told him that day. He knew that every woman he was with he could give his body to, but somehow he could know he could never have them. But Kagome was different, and dancing with her was different.

Kagome stood before her audience and felt Inu-y dip dip her slowly, and then bring her back up.

*Cause that's when those louses

Go back to their spouses.

Diamonds

Are a

Girl's

Best*

Suddenly, Inu-yasha took hold of her face and she found herself lost in his eyes. Inu-yasha then whispered to her, "Friend?"

The word echoed through the hall, and everyone stood in awe of his and her performance. Finally, the cooing and cheering started up again as both Kagome and Inu-yasha took a bow as the curtain closed.

Kagome let out her breath and looked at him, they hugged each other and she squealed in delight. Then, they realized the situation they were in and pulled apart from the other. Kagome laughed silently and Inu-yasha did the same.

Kagome rubbed her arm for a moment and then looked at Inu-yasha. Slowly she extended her hand to him with a warm smile, "Good work, Partner!"

Inu-yasha looked at her and smirked as his cocky look came over his face, "You still need some work, but nice job for the first night."

Kagome crossed her arms, "I still need work? What are you talking about?"

Inu-yasha scowled, "Oh please, do you honestly think you could have done half the things you did if I hadn't dance with you on the first night? Kagome, you need to get used to dancing with other partners."

Kagome rubbed her arm and looked at the ground, "Does this mean you don't want to be my partner?"

Inu-yasha tired to speak, but sighed instead, "Kagome...it's not...that's not what I'm saying! That's not it at all!"

Kagome lifted her chin and looked im. im. Inu-yasha looked at her with the oddest soft look in his eyes, "It's just that..."

"Just what?" Kagome asked softly.

Inu-yasha looked at her and felt his heart race for a moment. Then he closed his eyes, glared at her. "You're just not at my level! I don't really do half of the stuff I did up there tonight. Stuff that a girl like you would freak out over," he scowled.

Kagome huffed in his face and stomped her foot, "I bet you I can handle it. You'd be surprised!"

Inu-yasha glared at her, "You really think you're up to it? I bet you wouldn't last a second."

Kagome smirked, "Try me!"

Inu-yasha got pissed with her and the fact he couldn't get the last word out. So, he snorted, "Early morning, right here, after the morning meal."

"Why not now?" Kagome asked as she crossed her arms.

Inu-yasha growled at her and Kagome remembered and smiled, "Sorry! You've all ready got plans."

Inu-yasha snorted, "Fine then it's settled!"

"Good see you in the morning!" And with that Kagome left to head back to her apartment. Inu-yasha returned to his room and began removing the make- up and clothing he was wearing. He looked in the mirror and removed one of his eye's make-ups. Then, he stopped to look at himself and saw how the make-up was like a mask. It was like the mask he wore when he was with a woman. It was like the mask he would wear tonight. It was the mask that Kagome saw through tonight, and he wondered why a girl he could hardly deal with most of the time, could see right through the mask and open something he had no name for. The feeling he felt when Kagome left the Well de Rouge, was one that he had not felt before, at least not as strong. Sure he had felt it when he woke up in a hotel bed to find money on the nightstand or dresser; or, when he woke up to find his client dressing and handing him money for the night's event. It was a feeling he was familiar with, but when Kagome left it was heavier, painful, and he didn't know why, but he found himself longing and hoping that he'd see her the next morning. He wanted to skip his client all together and just go to sleep so that he could see her the next morning. Yet, the knock on his door came sooner than he thought, and he told them he'd be there in a moment as he whipped the last bit of make up off his face. The mask was gone, but some how, still there.

~~~~~~~~~~

A/N; Ta da! You're long awaited chapter is at an end. Hope it was worth the wait.

Next chapter, Kagome and Inu-yasha go through some new dance steps and find that their partnership benefits the musical and Sesshoumaru's pocket.

Yet, even though everyone has told Kagome of their plans to make sure none of Kikyo's clients make plans with her, one client slips by with a offer Kagome thinks she's up to, but she doesn't know the dangers of being a courtesan, especially when you're a fake one. And the dangers are ones that Inu-yasha knows about, but he won't discover them until it's almost too late.

This might be a two-part chapter coming up, (or just a chapter with a large cliff hanger), but the song will be Le Tango de Roxanne, Starring Kouga and Inu-yasha.

See you next time!
