Chapter 1: Arabesque

Ballet was art.

Everything about it from the pliès to elievès and dieveloppè. Ballet was an art. No one knew that better than Inuyasha. He'd spent years of his life perfecting his art and perfection wasn't earned without blood, sweat, and tears. No one knew that better than him. He'd learned that the hard way from frequent muscle spasms, torn ligaments and muscles, tendonitis, sprains, dislocations. Fractures, overload syndromes, and vascular syndrome.

One time he even saw a girl throw up her food for a week straight for lead. It was after their director said that she was too fat to be lifted by anything but an elephant. Dare Inuyasha say that was not even close to true.

See Chad was tough on people but Chad was Chad. They loved him. He wasn't even that mean. He just had a bit of a temper...all the got damn time. But the man was a genius. come on the guy created three ballet pieces that broke world charts. He was a musical genius. The devil's spawn. He could teach ballet to a squirrel if he wanted to. He brought the best out of people. So everyone respected him.

But none of that mattered. All that mattered was that it was a new season. A time for new beginnings and Chad had announced that they would be creating a new ballet piece. Of course Inuyasha expected he would be lead, as he was for the last five. Inuyasha had not had an inch of doubt. He was the best dancer, the strongest guy, and the best looking one. No one could compete with beauty and skill. He was a god. He was as close to perfect as anyone could get. He learned the dances the quickest and his flexibility made him susceptible to different styles. Chad loved him, he gave him the freedom that he needed to write his crazy compositions and pieces. Everyone loved him. He'd been the hard rock in all the guys pants and the wet dreams that kept the girls panties dropping all day since the day he came. He was a god.

"Inuyasha you will not be performing lead male this time." Inuyasha felt his whole world crumbling down around him as Chad looked him dead in the eye. His stupid over confident shit-fuck face never changing. This news was not only unbelievable but it was not happening. Chad was a cunt. Haha. Inuyasha let out a throaty laugh so he could emphasize his unamused pause.

" You really have a sense of humor, Chad. Really you do?" Inuyasha said sarcastically, earning a few choired laughs from his co-workers. He honestly was amused. Amused that Chad thought he could pull one over on him. Even after Inuyasha showed that he was obviously not falling for this, he still stood there like a statue.

" As I was saying you will not be performing lead this season... ABT will welcoming a new dancer as a principal dancer in our theatre. I would like to introduce Sesshomaru Inu no?" In a moment, Inuyasha could feel his heart crawling up to his throat and choking the life out of him. Chad was the devil. He'd turned every dancers nightmare into Inuyasha's reality. He had been replaced.

Even as the replacement walked in Inuyasha could still not believe it. He could feel his insides churning as he watched the newbie, who had already taken his spot, walk over to Chad. He had a confidence that was smothering. A look that was exotic. He was everything inuyasha was but so much more. Inuyasha felt sick. He was sure that at any moment he was going to hurl.

Nope! not any moment. He was hurling!

Inuyasha buckled over and released all of his breakfast onto the cold dance floor. He could feel tears threatening to burst from his eyes. Before Inuyasha could embarrass himself more he made a beeline to the bathroom, locking himself in.

He could not believe this. Years he had invested in ABT. He made Chad one of the most well known composers in all of America, no the damn world and this was how he'd repaid him. No this was betrayal. Inuyasha would never forgive him.

What had he done wrong? What did this new guy have that he didn't? Inuyasha was so overcome with shock, sadness and disappointment he felt as though his soul was being slowly crushed under the pressure of it.

He couldn't breathe.

Inuyasha needed his medications but he left his bag in the rehearsal room and his pills were in his bag.

" Inuyasha, my sweet little angel, what wrong?" Inuyasha knew that traitors voice. It was Chad. He wanted so badly to shove his fist down Chad throat. The damn traitor. If it wasn't assault he really would have. Inuyasha sucked in a deep breath of air to gather his voice, that he was slowly losing from crying, and yelled.

"Screw you!" Inuyasha knew that he couldn't always have what he wanted. But he had worked hard for this. He'd worked a thousand times harder than all the other dancer to pull of all of Chad's impossible dance routines. He'd work night and day for five years straight. For what? To be replaced so easily, on whim? No, that was unjust.

"What the hell gotten into you?" Chad yelled back.

"I have busted my ass for five years for you and you just went and replaced me with sess-sha-ha. did you think I would be okay with this bullshit?" Inuyasha heard silence from the door. He figured Chad had left but then he heard three loud bangs on the door that almost made him shit himself.

"Inuyasha you bring your whippersnapper ass out of that bathroom or I will fire the living cunt out of you. Do not making me start counting." Inuyasha hoped off the toilet seat and quickly opened the door. Nothing scared the shit out of him faster than the sound of an angry Chad. Inuyasha wanted to take cover but he knew better. It was always better to do what he was told.

When he got outside he was greeted by a less than happy Chad and the new guy who leaned against the wall of the hallway like an over dignified prick. Inuyasha already hated him. Inuyasha's thoughts were quickly forgotten as his ear was roughly pulled.

Inuyasha yelped. he was caught off guard distracted by the knew guy. He quickly looked at Chad, his ears laying flat on his head.

"Now you listen to me. You going to stop being an emotional little shit bag. I do not harbor weaklings is my dance troop. Either pull your shit together or you pack your shit and leave. Choose now!" Inuyasha could feel the overwhelming pressure boiling in his blood as Chad stared at him with hard blue eyes. "What do you want!?" He yelled again causing Inuyasha's heart to shrink a little. He was really scared shitless at this point. He felt as though he could feel a thousand needles puncturing his skin and his stomach tearing itself apart. He felt like throwing up again.

"I'll stay!" Inuyasha yelled frightened. He loved his job. He loved dancing. Chad threatening that piece of himself gave Inuyasha the biggest scare of his life.

"Good now if you ever act like a little shit bag again I will fire you." Inuyasha hung his head low. He was embarrassed as hell. He was a twenty- three year old man and he just got scolded in front of his rival. He wanted to get mad but he was too scared and defeated. " Now who the hell said I was replacing you?"

"You said he was lead male." Inuyasha whispered, feeling like a child.

"Well if you listened instead of acting like a brat you would have heard me when I said that my new piece is going to be about two strong male leads." He finished proudly. Inuyasha ears perked up and he pulled on Chad's arm.

"What?" Already he could feel excitement in his bones as his fears were put to bed.

"You guys will be performing as leads. A gay love story!" Chad said before Inuyasha hopped on top of him.

"Really? Really?" He said as he began to kiss the instructors cheek and lick his face. He was so dumb happy, he didn't even know where to put himself.

"Oiiii! why did I have to hire a dog demon? You won't be like this will you?" Inuyasha didn't hear the others reply as he was slowly put back down on to the ground. "Don't get too excited now. You are going to have to lose a shit tone of weight for this piece." Inuyasha paused as he shook his head and held his stomach.

"Why I haven't gained any weight at all." Inuyasha said insecurely as he gripped his muscular abdominal.

"So he can lift you, idiot." Inuyasha paused just as Chad turned on his heel and began to walk away.

"Wait I'm playing bitch...Whoa! Am I really playing bitch? I'm not, right? I'm not his bitch, right? Chad? Chad!" Inuyasha yelled. He released a sigh of defeat before he felt a hand run through his hair and stop just as the base of his ears. He froze. He felt a chill go up his spine as he stood there like a dear in the headlights. He hadn't expect the touch...nor did he expect the hot breath breathing against his ear. Inuyasha's face flushed. He was caught off guard, His heart rate beating a million mile per second.

"The name is Sesshomaru and...you're my bitch." Satan's spawn and a beautiful mixture of baby Jesus whispered in his ears. He had never heard a voice so got damn heavenly that the gates of heaven were opening up to him. Inuyasha was turned on. Horned up. Ready to choke the chicken. That voice set him for days. It was like he had a fucking orgasm with just the guys voice. Inuyasha reeled from the exaulting high. he felt the large hand leave his head and then it processed in his mind what the bastard had said. Inuyasha never spun around so quickly in his life.

"What the fuck did you say?"

Somehow...the shitbag was gone.
