Devotee Restrained

Chapter 1: Days of the Phoenix Die.

Kagome quietly slipped into the dressing room of the luxory casino. She placed her tall, shimmery dancing shoes on the dresser and hurried to get her clothes. If you could call them that, anyway.

She said her share of hi's and laughed with some of the girls about the horny, old farts that were leering over them. Sango, Kagome's best friend ran over to her and smacked her ass, "Kagome!" she yelled loudly.

"Kagome, you'll never guess who's out in the audience!" Sango yelled in an excited voice. "Who?" Kagome asked getting a little frustrated. She was supposed to be on the stage in five minutes and she couldn't find her mask. She cursed every living thing she could. "Where in seven hells is my mask?" Kagome yelled. Sango completely forgot to inform her friend of their little arrival.

"Take a chill-pill, Kags." Tsusaka said and handed Kagome an extasy pill. Kagome rolled her eyes and threw it in the trashcan. She didn't do that kind of stuff, even if she did strip for a living. She still had SOME dignity left. Sure, she'd tried it, but she'd never do it again. She got into a huge wreck and almost killed her best friend and her. Sango rushed back out of breath with something small and dark in her hand. Kagome hadn't even noticed that she'd left but quickly thanked her for finding her mask. Her silk red and black bra hugged every curve of her breasts. Her tight, leather pants moved along with her body and showed off her slightly large backside.

She put on her feather mask and waited for 'Worked Up So Sexual by The Faint' to come on. The manager had told her just before she was late that there was a son of a very good client in the audience and that she should pay 'special' attention to him. He told her that the young gentleman would have long silver hair, amber eyes, and would be hanging around with what looked like a bachelor-party crew. He said she'd be getting a raise for doing this favor for him.

If only.

Kagome still got a little squeemish at dancing practically naked infront of men with nothing but lust in their eyes. It made her a tad uncomfortable, but she needed the money. Sango, the announcer, made her announcement that the 'Black Hawk' would be making her way on stage. There were some claps, but mostly whistles from the clients that went often. Kagome made her way crawling on the stage from behind the curtain, and as soon as the beat started up, she made her way towards the pole. She twisted, turned, but most of all made herself wanted.

She located her target and smiled a bit. Her manager failed to mention he was mighty sexy. She did a body roll against the pole then jumped, strung her leg on the pole and spun. She looked so free and alive. She liked dancing but didn't get to do it much as a child, so this was a change. She'd been doing for a year now. She was going to begin her senior year in highschool on Monday. Kagome had been dancing in the nightlife since her junior year.

Walking towards the front of the stage, she shook her hips side to side and lowered herself slowly before popping back up. She seemed to have caught his interest. He was looking at her backside as she turned. She spread her legs and lowered her head between them. The Black Hawk dropping herself on the floor lifted her breasts and shook her head. She crawled near the edge of the stage and smirked in front of the dear guest. She already had twenty dollar bills stuffed down her bra and pants. There were a couple laying on the stage, too.

"What's your name, sexy?" She asked in a low seductive tone. She wasn't a slut and definately didn't sleep with anyone (she was way too busy to anyway), but she'd been taught by some of the girls how to use her voice, besides...she was an actress. He smirked back a little cockily and replied in just a seductive tone, "Sesshomaru". She dropped herself lightly onto his lap and begun giving him a lap dance. She kissed him hungrily and guessed he was surprised because he gasped and slightly parted his lips. Hawk took it as an invite and slipped her velvet tongue into his hot, waiting mouth. He replied by letting her do what she would with him. She was the host after all. He couldn't help but put his hands on her backside. It looked a little too inviting and he'd had a couple too many shots of tequila. He might regret this in the morning...yet again, he might not even remember it. He wasn't one to sleep or touch just ANYONE.

She smirked at his willingness.

She finished her dance as soon as the song ended and made her way back stage after picking up the rest of her money from the stage during a black-out. Her lips were strawberry-colored and her skin covered in a light film of sweat. Everyone clapped and she just bowed smiling like a maniac. These girls were actually very nice, despite what others might say about them. They were gorgeous and most of them looking for a way to pay their way through college. She admired them.

Sango came backstage with her. "Hey Kag, what time you going home?" she asked smiling. "Eh, I think I'm just going to go home now. It's already", she took a quick glance at her watch "one fourty-three. I have to go shopping later today for school supplies, then school on Monday. Ugh, I can't believe it's only two days until school...What's with the smile? Miroku ask you out again?" Kagome knew her friend ALL too well. "Maybe," replied a blushing Sango. He still did that to her. She was happy for them. She could picture them being the old married couple down the street. It was a nice picture really.

"All right, I'll see at school on Monday. We should meet outside the gate as usual with the rest of the gang." They laughed at 'the gang'. The gang consisted of Kagura, Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha, Kanna, Shippo, Kouga, Ayame, and Nobunaga. Some they knew longer than others. Inuyasha she had recently come to know and love.

'To know him is to love him,' she though and chuckled at herself. He was the rudest of the group, but he could be so considerate sometimes that it scared even her to death.

The next day was quite uneventful for everyone. Kagome slept in until about two and Sango practically had to shove her into the tub full of ice to wake her up. Sango's eyebrow began to twitch as be beat the crap out of Kagome. "Wake up! Why won't you wake up?" Sango yelled into Kagome's ear. Just as Sango was about to give up Kagome opened a lazy eye and glared at Sango making it look like Kagome took a little too much crack that morning. Her hair looking like a cow had licked it and her make-up all cracked. Guess she just passed out after getting home last night.

Kagome's mom knew exactly what she did at night. It wasn't a secret to her family, but it was to everyone else that wasn't close to her. Not even their group of friends knew. Inuyasha suspected something, but he had no hardcore evidence to pin her to the crime.

They went shopping for their usual school supplies, clothing, accessories before making their way home to watch a movie. Their last day of true freedom from the little thing called Senior Hell.

Our little seductress was caught in the morning throwing her alarm clock across the room. All that was left to hear from it was a rattling noise that she was sure wasn't recorded.

10th alarm clock broken.

She pulled another one out of her drawer, plugged it in, and went off on her way to the shower. She began to sing, "We're off to see the shower, the wonderful shower of the bathroom. Because, because, because, because! Of all the wonderfun cleansing he does." Yes, she had issues, but she was happy with them none-the-less. After making her way out of the steamed-up shower, she picked out some clothing to wear. She picked a form-fitting, light brown t-shirt with random turquoise squigglies, a pair of loose, but not too loose jeans and slipped them on. Kagome walked over to her closet and picked out her blue pumas, turquoise bracelet, and sea shell earrings. She began applying her eyeliner and lightly added some lipgloss.

Kagome walked down the stairs, grabbed her backpack, and decided to get a bagel on her way. Hey, one of the few times she had a spare 10 minutes to waste. Haha! She knew her own tactics! If it'd take her 10 minutes after she broke her alarm to wake up, she'd just set the alarm 10 minutes earlier.

It worked in her head, ok?

The whole gang hugged and kissed saying how much they missed eachother since most of them were on vacation all summer. The dear Highschool had no idea what drama would be caused this year.

Kagome and Sango made their way towards their first class. Most all seniors had the same classes. Well, they did. They all took AP courses and since their school only gave a certain amount, they all were shoved into one classroom like little packrats.

Not like everyone was jumping to get into the AP classes...

Kagome dropped by her locker and picked up her books, they had a program during the summer where you could pick your books up early and know where your locker was so you wouldn't get confused on the first day. Then they walked down the hall towards Sango's locker, where Miroku stood with a rose. He'd missed the meeting this morning. "Awww, how sweet." Kagome cooed to her best buddy, Sango. The only thing Sango could do was blush and give Miroku a chaste kiss on the lips. Of course, he had to go and ruin the moment. A loud slap was heard, "Hentai!" Sango glared at Miroku leaning against the locker.

A bell rang.

"Oh my...was that the tardy bell?" Kagome yelled frantic. She couldn't be late on her first day. They ran towards their class ONLY to be saved by a late teacher. Another bell rung and the door opened. Phew...saved by the bell. As soon as she entered the classroom (you know you know what's coming up...) she noticed silver hair...

"Oh no..." She visibly slapped her forehead and blushed darker than Elmo. Only, he had no clue what she was so embarrased about. If only he DID know. She would fail this class in no time. A habit she didn't want to take up. "Something wrong, miss?" Sesshomaru asked her in a smooth, creamy voice that made her want to melt right where she was.

Psh, that was happening.

"Of course not! Hehe" She replied a little nervous. Clearing her throat she made her way towards the back fo the classroom with Sango. "Kagome..." Sango said a little wide-eyed. "I know, Sango. I know..." Kagome said letting her head drop on the desk.
