Chapter 2: Seeing Double??

~Inuyasha POV~

Inuyasha met up with his best friend Miroku at "Speak Easy" the club downtown. He had told Miroku more less what had happen and his friend sympathized. They both came to the conclusion that they need to "drown their sorrows" so to speak. They sat at their usual corner and Miroku eyes widen with delight as all those girls in these skimpy outfits he so adored seemed to be everywhere.

Miroku said a silent prayer thanking the gods of skimpy wear for such a bountiful turn out. Inuyasha sat back and watched the club scene with a frown. Miroku slid his friend a worried glance,

"C'mon Inu forget Kikyo! and let's grab a couple of club kittens and party!"

Inuyasha laughed and waved a cute looking blonde waitress over to their table. After both men had placed their drink orders (and the waitress smacked Miroku for groping her) Inuyasha looked at the entire girls and shook head,

"I don't know if I can just forget Kikyo just like that, I mean we been through so much together. We have history! and then that wench up and leaves me for another company!"

Miroku snorted but his reply was interrupted when the waitress came back with their drinks. As the waitress handed them, their orders (standing well away from Miroku's roman fingers) she smiled at Inuyasha. Who in turn gave the waitress his infamous smirk and wink as he downed his drink.

"Tell me is there anything happening here tonight?" Inuyasha asked in rich smooth voice. The waitress blushed and giggled tossing her golden blonde hair over her shoulder,

"Well there is the first performance of the 'Speak Easy Flappers' and their pretty good from what I saw during the practices"

Inuyasha nodded and sat back in is chair the waitress cast him a flirty smile, then covertly handed him a slip of paper.

"If you need anything... anything at all I'll be certain to give it to you...personally"

And with that she sauntered off to serve another table. Inuyasha pocketed the number and yawned, he looked over at his friend to find him staring at Inuyasha.

"What??"

"You have no intention of calling her do you?"

Inuyasha scowled at his friend and took another sip of his drink.

"Maybe... maybe not it's all in the mood I'm in."

Miroku snorted again in disbelief and downed his drink, setting the glass down with a loud 'clank!' then retorted to his friend,

"You see this is why I'll never settle for just one woman... it's just not NATURAL!"

Inuyasha doubled over laughing and he pushed his drink to the side,

"And why's that Miroku 'Ole buddie ??"

Miroku threw up his arms in expiration looking at his friend as if he didn't know anything.

"Why!? you ask? Its because it wouldn't be fair to all the rest of the women I have yet to meet!!"

Inuyasha double over again in laughter he shook his head. While Inuyasha did all that his friend gazed at him with all seriousness.

"What are you laughing about!? I'm serious!!" Miroku complained in an injured tone.

Still shaking his head in silent laughter it took Inuyasha a few moments to answer his friend.

" I know you are that's why it so funny!"

Miroku 'humph!' and turn his attention to the stage since the people were leaving the dance floor and 'shushing' each other. Inuyasha also turn his attention to the stage. A young attractive looking woman with long black hair (or brown hair?? do you know which?) and bright brown eyes. She wore a short a tan dress that came to her knees with a match tan scarf around her neck. A matching beret with matching shoes.

Inuyasha slid Miroku a sly glance; he looked like a man who hadn't had a drink in week and had just found a tall glass of ice tea. He watched his friend lean forward on the table, he heard Miroku whisper to himself,

"I think I'm in love..." Inuyasha grinned knowly at his friend who had seemed to have found a new *ahem* Club Kitten.

' Ladi's and Gentlemen! I want to thank you for coming out tonight for the premiere of 'Speak Easy's' very own Flap dancers!. So lets give a big round of applause for the 'Speak Easy' Flappers!!"

The lights dimmed and the curtain parted 12 girls all dressed in light pink sequence short dresses and light pink high sequence tap shoes dances out onto the stage. Inuyasha watched various girls in the chorus line dance. He couldn't help but find fault in almost every single thing they did, Inuyasha didn't mean to but he was comparing them to how Kikyo would dance when she had a solo.

In his eye one of the girls was out of step, or didn't smile as much. It was this girl didn't have this, or that girl didn't have that. He mentally crossed out those girls from being his partner Sesshoumaru's words were still in the back of his head. Most of the girls seemed to be lacking in some sort of an area.

"Such vision of loveliness I think I've died and gone to heaven!!"

"Every girl is a vision of loveliness to you Miroku"

His friend laughed at Inuyasha's sour tone.

"True...true... It's a shame there is only one me to go around and so many women here for the taking!"

At that both men laughed and clicked the drinks together when the waitress returned with their second round. As Inuyasha raised the glass to his lips he glanced at the stage where the flappers were still performing, the girls were switching positions and the girls from the back came to the front. At that moment he nearly dropped his glass. Miroku shot Inuyasha a startled look then cast a glance to the stage and back Inuyasha's face had gone ashen white.

"Inu...Inu... what's wrong?" Blinking Inuyasha pointed to the stage

"Up... up there... on the stage" Miroku raised a brow and again looked up on the stage and back again to Inuyasha.

"So what about it?"

"That girl... on the end... she.... She looks like Kikyo!" (Muahahhhahahaha!!)

~Kagome's POV~

/I swear if I smile any harder my face will crack!/

Kagome was grateful to her childhood friend Sango for getting the job. Kagome loved to dance it was her passion ever since she was little. Unfortunately dancing didn't pay the bills or put food on the table, but through it all Kagome worked and hoped for that big break. Though she was mostly teased about it, but deep down Kagome knew something was about to happen to her Kagome knew it. So until her break came Kagome danced where she could dance at making sure she sent money to the shrine to help her family.

And right now Kagome would live her life as a 'Speak Easy Flapper Girl' until a new opportunity showed itself.

Finally the song ended, Kagome and the rest of the flappers danced off stage with their plastered smiles. Sighing to herself once she was behind the curtain, Kagome said a few words to some of the girls. And just when she turned to go to her shared dressing room, a hand grabbed her arm,

"Hey buddie what are you---" Kagome stopped she stared up at the most unusual part of eyes she'd ever seen. They were golden and very expressive from what Kagome noticed that the eyes belonged to a handsome face. He was tall and had long white silver hair and he was looking down at Kagome with queer expression on his face.

"I'm sorry Miss but I need to ask you something... Do you know---"

A/N Bwahahahahahhaha!! Don't you just hate cliffhangers!! *Stops laughing.. Or at least tries to* Sorry about that but I have to keep you guys interested! That's my job ^_^ Ok and for you guys that don't know what the term "Flappers" its a term used in from the 1900-1920's for chorus girl dancers. It was the way it the girls would dance. Until Chapter three!!

Ja'ne!
