Summary :

Inner RhythmChapter One : The Bet
InuYasha was sitting calmly at Shikon Bar and Night Club, a scowl marring his features, he had just accepted a challenge from his older brother, Sesshomaru, and by the unusual glint in his eyes, it was a big mistake.
"I want you to take ballet lessons for at least three months."
"WHAT!" InuYasha yelled standing up, causing the bar stool to fall and break.
"Hey, are you going to –" The bartender was cut short as InuYasha thrust a fifty-dollar bill into his hands.
"Keep the change." He grumbled, not taking his now murderous eyes off of Sesshomaru. "What the fuck is going through that twisted mind of yours to even think that I would take ballet lessons ?" Sesshomaru smirked, which only made InuYasha's anger plummet to its peak. InuYasha growled in frustration, then again if he didn't complete this bet Sesshomaru would . . . lets just say it wouldn't be fun for InuYasha. He sighed in defeat. "Fine, I'll do it. When do I start ?"
"Excellent."
Not too far away, at Sakura Dance Studio, a young girl stood in the big classroom alone, class had ended hours ago and she had yet to leave. The young girl was dancing beautifully to the slow rhythmic beat of classical music pouring from the stereo's speakers. She continued dancing until the steady beat came to a close. She then wiped the sweat from her brow, she had been here all day and had finally perfected the routine, just as she had hoped. She smiled to herself, as she mindlessly began to hum the tune of the classical music that she had danced to and began to pick up her things. Once she put all her things away and returned the CD to its rightful place on the shelf, she confined herself to the studios bathroom to take a shower, and changed out of her leotard into a simple jean skirt, a purple short – sleeved shirt with the word dance written in sliver glitter.
She walked out of the studio in which she had pent countless hours in and began walking to her apartment in downtown Tokyo. Then she remembered she still had to pay rent, how could she have forgotten ? She would just have to tell Kaede –
"Omph !" While she had been walking down the street, she had forgotten to pay attention and once again, bumped into a random stranger. Had this stranger not caught her by her waist she would've fallen to the ground in, what she was sure, a quite uncomfortable manner.
"Oi, wench, watch where you're going !"
"Sorry I – did you just call me wench ? You know what whatever, its late and I'm tired so I'm going home. I'm sorry I bumped into you sir, I'll be sure to be aware of those around me next time." She replied in mock sincerity as she shoved her way past the rude man with the long sliver hair, and breath taking golden eyes. InuYasha blinked in surprise, no one had ever talked to him like that !
"Oi ! Wench !" He yelled after her.
"My name's not wench, its Kagome !" She called back, not bothering to even turn around. After a few moments InuYasha took resignation of what had just occurred. He smirked in her direction, though she was already out of sight. She had spunk, he'd giver her that much and he turned around and began walking again thinking they would never meet again.
Well they were wrong.
Once Kagome made it to her apartment, she unlocked her door, set her keys in the bowl by her door and checked her messages.
'7 undoubtedly from Eri, Yuka, Ayumi, and Hojo.' She was partly right, there was 2 from Eri, 3 from Ayumi, 1 from Hojo, and one from Sakura, her dance instructor telling her that she would have a new dance partner coming tomorrow. Kagome sighed, last time she had a partner, he wasn't really a dancer hr just needed some extra curricular activity to put on his college application. She hoped this one would be better.
Kagome went into her bedroom and on her bed there was a single rose with a white bow tied around it, and a note attached to it :
Kagome,
I know I made a mistake. Alright
A big one. Please forgive me ?
Or at least can we talk ?
I still love you.
Hojo.
She should've known, but there was no way she'd forgive Hojo for what he'd done. It was too terrible.
She changed into her pajamas, brushed her teeth and hair, and went to bed. Before she fell asleep she glanced at the clock in her bedside table 1:00 AM, class started in 7 hours, in an odd way she was excited to meet her new dance partner.
End ! I know kinda boring and really uneventful, but all first chapters are, so bear with me ? Please R&R !
