A/N- Since last chapter ended in a cliffhanger, this one won't. I had to
shorten last chapter so the cliffhanger would work. This chapter will be as
long as I can make it in 3 days. I'm all busy with school and homework and
stuff… so it's getting harder to find time to write.
Disclaimer- I am dead broke. I own NOTHING!
Thank you once again to those who reviewed. Reviews are the only thing that keeps me writing.

Chapter 4
1 THE DANCE
2 PART 1
Cruise Director Sango had, never in her life, seen someone actually about to drop another person off the side of a boat.
It was the kind of thing that happened in books.
But not in real life.
"You there, stop! I will not have such uncivilized behavior on this ship!" she snapped.
"I will have to send you back to Miami if you do not stop!"
Sighing with obvious disappointment, Sesshoumaru dropped Inuyasha rather unceremoniously back onto the ship.
"Are you alright?" Kagome said with concern, bending over him.
"Feh. As if he could hurt me."
Sesshoumaru glared at his brother.
Inuyasha glared back.
'Ah, mister, I was meaning to ask you-" Sesshoumaru turned his glare on Kagome "er, um, your name", she finished lamely.
'It's Sesshoumaru. And he's Inu-kuso."
(A/n I think that means Dogshit)
"My name is not Dogshit!! It's Inuyasha!"
"Suit yourself. I always liked Inu-kuso better."
"You little-"
"Gentlemen! I will personally throw you both into the ocean if you don't SHUT UP!!!"
Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru turned in shock toward the cruise director, who was now red in the face and clenching her teeth. In fact, she looked much like a bull about to charge.
"Ah, sorry miss, it won't, ah, happen again!"
"It better not!"
Sango stormed away, leaving Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, and Kagome standing rather awkwardly on the deck.
"I'll just be leaving now." Kagome muttered under her breath as she walked off.
As she rounded a corner, she heard a thud and a muffled "Ouch!".
Lying on the deck in front of her was what appeared to be a woman who had knocked herself out on the glass door leading to the swimming pool.
"Excuse me, miss, are you alright?"
The lady quickly stood up to reveal…
That the person standing before Kagome was no lady, but a man with extremely long black hair.
And he was very mad.
Kagome could not imagine why.
"You BITCH! What the hell were you thinking, calling me a WOMAN!?!"
"I'm so sorry! I couldn't tell from behind you!"
"Is there anything I can do-" Kagome began, only to be interrupted by the black-haired man.
"JUMP OFF THIS FUCKING SHIP, THAT'S WHAT YOU CAN DO!!!" he screamed and stomped off.
*oops* thought Kagome *making enemies already..*
***
"Let's see, 10, 11, 12, ah, here it is! 'Cabin' number 13!"
(a/n-Kagome is blissfully ignorant of the fact that 13 is an unlucky number…^-*)
She dumped her bag on the bed and walked over to the window to admire the seemingly endless ocean.
A card lying on the small desk by the window caught her eye.
It read 'You are cordially invited to dinner and a dance tonight at 6:00 in the Blue Room. For directions please refer to map.'
*A dance! That will be fun! Now what should I wear?"
***
"Why did I come to this stupid 'dance' anyway?" grumbled Inuyasha as he took another sip of martini.
"You already know that, brother. Otherwise you wouldn't be here."
Inuyasha groaned and looked up. Sesshoumaru smirked down at him.
"Interesting choice of 'apparel', Inuyasha. Where did you find it? In a dumpster, no doubt!" he mocked.
"What's wrong with my clothes?!?!" Inuyasha then realized that he was wearing sneakers and a baseball cap.
With a tux.
And compared to Sesshoumaru's black silk shirt and pants ensemble, Inuyasha felt rather stupid indeed.
Looking down, he also realized that there was a large stain from when he had sloped pasta sauce on his tux at a Christmas party.
When he looked up, Sesshoumaru was gone.
***
Kagome reached into her suitcase, pulling out the dress she had bought special for this cruise. It was a tight red silk dress, emblazoned with a wraparound design of a black dragon.
She slipped out of her casual jeans-and-tank top outfit and into the dress.
Brushing her hair until it gleamed, she pulled a pair of hair sticks and whipped her hair up into a fancy bun.
Admiring her reflection in the mirror, she decided she was ready to go.
***
Sesshoumaru had retreated for the moment from the dance, finding the air a bit to stuffy for his taste.
Leaning over the railing, he almost fell into the ocean when he heard a voice behind him.
"Mister Sesshoumaru? I just want to apologize for earlier. I'm sorry for making you and your brother fight each other."
"Eh? Oh, don't bother. He hates me and
I hate him. We would have fought even if you weren't there." He said, never taking his eyes off the sea below them.
"Oh."
Suddenly she was leaning on the railing next to him, also gazing at the water.
They stayed that way for several minutes, never speaking a word. Then Kagome decided she would go check out the dance.
Then an idea sprung into her head.
Kagome walked back over to him. Reaching out, she lightly tapped him on the shoulder.
"Hey, do you have a date yet for the dance? Cuz I was thinking if you didn't, you can be my date!" she said, grinning.
The blank look on her face told her no, he didn't have a date.
"Aw, come on! It will be fun!" She grabbed his arm and pulled him back through the doors.
***
Inuyasha had been up to his room to change into something dressier, i.e. lose the baseball cap and sneakers, and remove the stained tux jacket.
(a/n- he was wearing a shirt under the tux. Just don't want ya to think he's going topless)
Now he was back at the bar, downing his 3rd martini for the night. (a/n O_o…)
"Bartender! Give me a pint of beer!"
"Yes Sir!" the bartender replied with more than a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
Sipping quietly on his beer, Inuyasha gazed around the crowded room. All the people seemed so happy, like they had not a care in the world.
Sighing, he downed the last of his drink.
"I can't take this anymore." He mumbled.
He walked toward the door.
Only to see his brother coming through it. On the arm of the girl from that afternoon.
The shock of seeing his brother with a girl stunned Inuyasha into silence.
But both of them actually looked happy…
****
A/n- So… there's chapter 4. That was the longest chapter I have ever written. Sorry for the veeery slow update. My birthday was this week so that ate a lot of my time. I have been on a sugar high all day so I really need to calm down. Calm… be calm…
