"Here is our brand new girl tonight, the Queen of Sheba, give it up ladies and gentlemen," the owner of the strip club announced. Kagome came out in a belly dancing costume and was moving her hips to the music, she wore make-up to conceal her face, it was Egyptian make-up, and wore a fancy fake gold head band jewelry that had tiny beads hanging over her raven bangs and dropping over her forehead. Her bikini top had fake coins hanging off it as did her mini skirt. Now she danced with a small scarf flowing gracefully around her hips seductively. It was something new other than just stripping and dancing around a pole, after a few minutes of getting the male populated room with an occasional women here and there in the crowd aroused she dropped her mini skirt which revealed a thong which also had fake coins attached, the males went crazy. Kagome was dancing with her scarf in front of one customer making him pant when a scent hit her as soon as it flowed through the door, she cut her eyes to the door to see a tall species of a man but the Queen of Sheba sensed a very powerful demon.

~It can't be, he doesn't even look like him.~ Kagome throwing her hips at her current paying customer. Slowly she untied the top of her bikini top holding her bikini top holding her bikini top just above her nipples, hesitating for a minute then took the rest of the bikini off and dropped it to the floor. Again the men howled and whistled in pleasure, some women followed along, Kagome took the man's money as she held her thong stringed material out and as the man slipped a ten dollar bill into the space she snapped the material back onto her hip, moaning for a little effect. She moved along the floor, moving her hips in an seductive way, this wasn't an all nude club she still had to wear her thong but that left little to imagination.

"Hey, do we have any birthdays out there tonight?" Kagome shouted out, one man raised his hand, she motioned with her index finger seductively to make the man come closer the stage. She checked his licenses,

"Well, well, you are in for a treat tonight, 21st birthday, I hope your pockets are filled tonight, you shall buy a lap dance from the Queen of Sheba but as for now, you will be my king, Mr. Hitachi, I Queen of Sheba will be your dancer, come, have a seat in my king's chair," Kagome helping the embarrassed fool on stage. Hojo, the assistant manager put a king's cape around him and laid a fake crown on his head. Kagome bowed with her hands in prayer form,

"Milord, I hope my dance pleases you," Kagome starting to move slowly then moved faster. Hitachi, her birthday king grew red and swallowed hard, Kagome got her breast swinging and bouncing as close as she could get to him without touching. She moved her little scarf around him and as it left feathery touches on his skin goose bumps appeared. Soon her dancing was over with Hitachi was having a little trouble walking but managed to walk off stage.

"Now, I hear we have one more birthday king out there in the crowd, so come up, take your rightful spot as my king for a night," Kagome still moving her hips as her breast swayed to and fro. Finally the supposed man came and was dressed in the cape and a crown, he stood tall and proud, then sat down in the chair. Kagome swallowed hard but made her way over to the male who she knew for a fact was the ice lord himself, she did something out of the ordinary, she dropped to her knees and laid her forehead on the stage.

"Milord, please accept this dance," Kagome slowly standing and starting to gracefully moved her body for him,

~So the miko lives, how would this be possible?~ Sesshomaru thought as he watched her seductively move,

~She has a great body and great hips, good for birthing pups, she knows who we are.~ his beast alerting him.

~She was always a smart human, though falling for my half brother was an ignorant move.~ Sesshomaru thought as he caught her eyes, beautifully brown but there was something hiding behind them, something that had caused the shine to disappear.

~We must ask for a private dance tonight, look, she doesn't fear us, she is respecting us, and her scent, reminds me of home.~ his beast getting sentimental.

~Of course, there is a reason behind all this, disrespecting herself as such, this Sesshomaru will find out.~ Sesshomaru thought as the dance ended.

"Please milord, enjoy your night tonight," Kagome bowing to the floor again.

"Yes, I shall, I accept your dance," Sesshomaru bowing to her, he took the robe and crown off and laid it on the chair, he exited the stage. As Kagome finished her rounds the last customer sitting at the bar was Sesshomaru,

"Milord, Queen of Sheba is pleased you have moved to a better spot to enjoy the view," Kagome nodded low as a silent bow. Sesshomaru bowed his head,

"This lord is fairing better tonight than most," Sesshomaru glancing at her eyes.

"Then I shall stop speaking and let your wandering eyes take in the few more minutes of my dancing in silence," Kagome shutting up and moving her hips to draw in his attention as her breast moved with the graceful sways of her body. Soon the dance was over and Sesshomaru took his human finger and gently lifted her string material to leave a $100 dollar tip.

"Queen of Sheba shall dance for you another time," Kagome whispered seductively in low voice for only him to hear.

"So you shall little miko," Sesshomaru smiling on the inside as he drank his beer and removed himself from the bar and moved to talk with the manager. Kagome went to the bathroom to put her outfit back on, Sesshomaru went to sit in the far dark corner, strippers came over to try to get his attention but he always gave them a $50 dollar bill to remove themselves. Kagome came out to start making her rounds with the customers, she gave Hitachi his private dance, when it was over the manager caught her.

"My queen, Mr. Takehashi wishes for his lap dance and for your time for the rest of your shift," the manager informed her.

"Huh, oh, right, of course," Kagome swallowing hard, she made her way over to the dark corner,

"Milord, may I have permission to touch your hand to lead you to our VIP room?" Kagome asked. Sesshomaru nodded slightly, Kagome gently took his hand and led him upstairs. Once in the room Kagome led him to the fluffy couch with a mini fridge beside it full of strong alcohol.

"So, you know of me," Sesshomaru stated,

"Yes, but I can't really talk about things of the past here, if you would like you can come have coffee with me at the café," Kagome opening a beer that he had already pulled out of the mini fridge.

"No, it has to be more secluded than that, what about your place?" Sesshomaru asked,

"My place? Well, it's not really a great place, but I guess, as long as you don't judge me, I'm not as successful as you are, at least not yet," Kagome explained.

"I do not care of how you live," Sesshomaru explained, Kagome nodded,

"Alright, well, you just try and relax and I'll try to take your troubles away," Kagome picking music from the juke box.

"Miko, I do not require you to dance for me," Sesshomaru explained deeply and in a monotoned voice.

"My manager would not be pleased if I didn't dance for you," Kagome explained,

"Very well miko but I have a question for you, why do you disrespect yourself in this way?" Sesshomaru confused,

"Because its fast cash, I have to pay out of pocket for my schooling, I didn't make such good grades in high school because of, well you know," Kagome moving her hips. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at her knowing there was more to her story. With all the smells violating his nostrils he couldn't smell Kagome's scent was mixed with another human's smell. He let Kagome get away with it for now, Kagome gave him another lap dance but this was more intimate. Sesshomaru himself was swallowing hard with her actions, finally her shift was over. Kagome got dressed in her wintery clothes and pulled on her heavy wool coat that her mother had gave her as a Christmas gift. She got her money for the night, she put it inside her coat, she then escorted Sesshomaru out.

"Miko, where is your vehicle?" Sesshomaru looking around the parking lot,

"I don't have one, I can't afford the upkeep or the gas," Kagome unlocking her bicycle.

"It is too cold for you to be riding such a thing," Sesshomaru coming over and picking her bike up and putting it in the trunk of his black impala.

"It's Kagome actually, that's really not necessary," Kagome shyly,

"Please, you'd catch your death out in this weather," Sesshomaru shutting the trunk.

"Thank you Lord Sesshomaru," Kagome being respectful, Sesshomaru cut his eyes at the one who he thought of as Inuyasha's wench,

"Kagome, why is it you respect me when I am no longer the lord of my lands?" Sesshomaru confused.

"That would best be answered in the…" Kagome being interrupted by one of the girls pulling Kaome's hair out,

"You whore, you took the best man in the city, not to mention you make the most money!" the girl screamed, Kagome was staring up from the snow at the girl.

"Candy, you need to calm down, I know this man, that is why he preferred my services tonight, just go back in there, I believe you can make up the loss on your double shift, you know I need the money just as bad as you do or I wouldn't be here," Kagome strongly. The girl punched Kagome in the nose, giving her a bloody nose and a busted lip in the process, Sesshomaru watched the two girls,

"Yeah, run home to your bastard kid, I'm sure she wants to be just like her mommy," the girl trying to grab for Kagome. Sesshomaru caught her wrist,

"I suggest you return to the stage, I have never hit a woman before so do not give me a reason to do so now," Sesshomaru lowly rumbled. He let go of the woman's wrist, Sesshomaru was putting his arm around Kagome's back to help her into the car.

"Kagome, this is all you will ever be, this is the best you will ever be, a whore and a stripper, that's all your bastard kid will be!" Candy shouted angrily. The assistant manager came out,

"Oh shit," Hojo running to Kagome,

"Hey, are you okay?" Hojo looking at the damage,

"No, I'm okay, I don't want her fired Hojo, she's got kids too, she needs this job as much as I do, just let it slide, please?" Kagome begged him. Hojo looked at Candy,

"I don't want to see anymore cat scratches, Candy you need to get back inside," Hojo harshly.

"I don't need your handouts Kagome," Candy spat,

"You know what Candy, I am paying my way through business school, I am going to be better because I am not addicted to drugs or this kind of life, and I put food on the table for myself and my kid, and one more thing, my kid is going to be a hell of a lot better than me, she's going to be able to do anything she sets her mind to," Kagome wiping the blood from her nose with Sesshomaru's handkerchief. Hojo looked back at Kagome,

"Make sure my girl here gets home safely," Hojo glancing at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru nodded, he helped Kagome in the car, as he turned to walk around the car he heard Hojo talking to Candy,

"You know Kagome deserves a little credit, but the next time I catch anything going on between you two you are out of here," Hojo harshly. Sesshomaru got in the car, Kagome sighed,

"So you have a kid?" Sesshomaru raising a brow,

"Yes, but I rather talk while we aren't moving," Kagome holding her nose.

"The car isn't even turned on yet," Sesshomaru explained. Kagome stared at Sesshomaru,

"Alright, um, it was when I was 18, it had been a year after I got done with the jewel, um…I was raped, um, I was at death's door when someone found me and I turned out to be pregnant, I didn't believe in getting rid of an unborn baby, I love kids and besides, it wasn't her fault, she didn't tell that man to rape me, so, I have a daughter, she is my world, my everything," Kagome breathing slowly out. Sesshomaru stared at her, he didn't smell any deceit on her, he actually was getting pissed as his knuckles turned white when he was gripping the steering wheel.

"And that guy?" Sesshomaru asked,

"Who, Hojo? He was one of the guys I attended high school with, he found out about the rape and ever since then has been like my big brother trying to protect me," Kagome shrugged. Sesshomaru started the car,

"He is attracted to you," Sesshomaru pulling out of the parking lot.

"No, no, he is nice and all but no, I don't really have a knack at dating, it took a while to get over the whole rape thing but I had an uborn kid to think about, I had to get ready to be a mother and before that I had a crush on Inuyasha, he never knew I don't think but I got hurt because I saw him so many times kissing Kikyo and in his arms he held her, I wasn't nothing but a jewel detector, a copy of the real thing he once had or was close to having, but I got over him, but the thing is I told myself I wasn't ever lucky enough for love, I didn't deserve it because I was just a copy, wow, okay, sorry for rambling, but now I am scared because if I start bringing men I date home and my kid gets attached then it doesn't work out its only me getting hurt but her as well," Kagome feeling of her nose.

"Of course, I understand, your nose is not broke, and Inuyasha was stupid, I saw the loyalty you gave him that he did not deserve, you were always by his side, even when he changed and let his demonic side take over, so you have a child, what is her name?" Sesshomaru curious. Kagome stared at him, then looked down at her hands,

"She's six years old and is very smart, she knows the correct history of feudal Japan or at least what I lived of it," Kagome changing the subject around a little.

"Miko, you eluded my question," Sesshomaru explained,

"Her name…well, really what's in a name?" Kagome hesitating,

"Kagome," Sesshomaru growing impatient,

"Rin, her name is Rin," Kagome watching him to see how he would react, his jaw muscles clenched together as a tiny sparkle of a tear ran down his cheek.

"I named her that because Rin looked like she could have been my daughter even back in the past and because I missed her, I missed everyone, including you Lord Sesshomaru," Kagome letting a single tear slide down her own face. Sesshomaru glanced over at her to see her tear,

"I need to see your daughter," Sesshomaru strongly. Kagome nodded,

"You may, she'll be asleep when we get to my apartment so it will be alright," Kagome explained.
