Anyway, we have some nice Inuyasha and Kagome/Miroku and Sango Fluff in this chapter.yay for the fluffiness! Now, I present to you chapter 11.
Chapter 11: Dance fever vs. Juggling lessons
Kagome had gotten back to her dressing room very late and had fallen asleep in the infamous black dress that now more than half the circus staff had heard of from Sesshoumaru himself. She lazily lifted her head and saw on her clock that it was ten o'clock in the morning. She placed her head back on the pillow before she realized that she was supposed to join the dancers in about ten minutes.
She shot up and quickly got dressed in sporty attire and went to brush her teeth. If she had hurried, then she would make it just in time to Madam Adele's tent on time for her private lessons which came before the actually group rehearsal at three. She quickly dried her face and ran out of her dressing room toward the aforementioned tent. Little did Kagome know that she had a rough day ahead of her with a dancing troupe that was as disciplined as an army and a teacher that could easily be compared to a drill sergeant.
Kagome entered the tent a bit winded but still ready to dance. She checked her watch and realized that she was a little over a minute late. Madam Adele looked at her new student with a frustrated and worrisome glare. She fixed her bifocals higher on her nose and proceeded to say to Kagome, "You're seventy-five seconds late Miss Higurashi. I will NOT tolerate tardiness like this again, do you understand me?"
Kagome, who really wanting to say a un-lady like phrase to her, responded coolly, "Yay, I understand."
"Try again young lady. You responded incorrectly" responded Madam Adele.
"Madam Adele, I am truly sorry for being tardy. I do understand that there will be consequences if I am ever tardy again. I am sorry" Kagome said partly in jest; although, the answer was accepted by Madam Adele.
"See, I knew that you could be a polite young lady.it also seems that you aren't as stupid as I have heard you were. You chose your words well. Anyway, let us not waste any more precious time. You're going to need it to catch up to my elite dancing troupe" proclaimed Madam Adele.
Kagome was very offended (quite frankly pissed off) by the old bat's "stupid" remark. She was ready to jump this woman and go ghetto on her conceited French ass. However, Kagome resisted and followed her dreading to see what else Madam Adele could pick on.
"Okay, so it looks like you are dressed appropriately for dancing warm-ups. Now tell me Miss Higurashi, what previous dance experience have you had before you came to the Sengoku Jidai Circus?" questioned Miss Adele with feigned interest.
"Well I took a couple of classes while I attended High School and got high marks. Also, I choreographed the dance routines for the Flying Higurashi's" responded Kagome as sweetly as she could muster.
"Anything else?" questioned Madam Adele further.
"No.not anything else that I can think of" replied Kagome
While shaking her head in disgust Madam Adele said, "That is really a pathetic resume. I have girls that danced ballets in Europe and Austria. All you have compared to them is a dance course in high school. And please, do not get me started on you choreographed routines! They are a bunch of rubbish if you ask me!"
Kagome tried her hardest to contain her anger but nonetheless was still loosing her cool. How could the woman be so outright cruel to a person she'd just met?
Madam Adele saw the change in Kagome's expression and started to pat her on the back while she continued by saying, "But don't worry dear.I've been known to make miracles happen with cases similar to yours. So let's work hard and turn you, Kagome Higurashi, into an Adele dancer!"
Madam Adele hummed happily to herself as she laid down some workout mats in front of a wall full of mirrors. Kagome just stood there and kicked herself mentally for accepting this temporary position.
All Kagome knew at the moment was that she had to prove to Madam Adele that she did not have two left feet on her. Though, Kagome also felt that she was losing said battle already. She walked over to the mat and began to stretch out and prepare her body for what she predicted to be a pretty tough workout.
"Was she really that bad?" Inuyasha questioned as Kagome sat down next
to him in the animal tent a couple of hours later with her bento and
obviously having severe muscle pains.
Kagome nodded but found out in that instant that even her neck muscles
hurt from Madam Adele's training. Kagome then decided to elaborate with
words by saying, "Yay, I think that she was a drill sergeant in another
life. She has been throwing nothing but insults at me all day.so it's not
just physical abuse but also emotional abuse. A person like Madam Adele
should be exhiled.
Inuyasha nodded in what seemed to be understanding.
"Why hasn't Sesshoumaru fired the witch yet?" questioned Kagome
"Because she gets the job done and you are the only dancer that
doesn't idolize that woman" added Inuyasha
"Oh, so I have to get slandered by the whole troupe of dancers now.I
can hardly wait for that" Kagome enthusiastically feigned.
Inuyasha put a hand on her shoulder to offer some comfort to Kagome
but only caused her the opposite reaction.
"Don't do that Inuyasha! My muscles still hurt!" scolded Kagome
"I was just offering some comfort.like friends do" replied Inuyasha.
"Can you kill her or something with those claws of yours" questioned
Kagome with a glint of hope sparkling in her eyes.
"No, sorry.I don't kill. I just kick people's asses every once in a
while" said Inuyasha in a nonchalant fashion.
"Oh.then can you kick Madam Adele's ass for me? Please." pleaded
Kagome
"Sorry, Sesshoumaru wouldn't like that. It's not my fault that you're
so out of shape that you can't handle your training" concluded Inuyasha.
"Hey, I'm not out of shape.her training is just impossible" replied
Kagome
"Well, I see the results of her training in those limber and fit
dancers over there" stated Inuyasha as glanced admiringly toward the
dancers in the distance mainly just to get Kagome jealous.
Kagome now offended and a bit disappointed that Inuyasha did not find
her body attractive glared at him and said, "I'll have you know that many
men find my body just as attractive as those dancers over there. To name
a few there is Sesshoumaru, Kouga, Hojo, and Miroku."
"Okay, my brother is attracted to you because your name is bringing in
the crowds and financial gain and Kouga and Miroku are just horny men who
would go after anything that walks upright on two legs and is female"
informed Inuyasha.
"You might have a point there.but what about Hojo?" asked Kagome
"What about Hoho? asked Inuyasha lazily
"Hojo! He might have feelings for me since we've been friends for
about eleven years now" said Kagome
"He chicken and probably wouldn't want to spoil the friendship with
you.if he moves on to the next level things may get weird between you
two" stated Inuyasha.
"How do you know these types of things can actually apply to reality?"
questioned Kagome surprised that Inuyasha knew so much about
relationships not experiencing many for himself.
"Miroku and I talk sometimes about these things" replied Inuyasha
curtly
"Now that's great.advice coming from a lech like Miroku. I'm sure that
you're wrong and all those guys are attracted to me.I don't have to be a
skinny Ballet dancer to win men's affections. Well anyway, I need to get
going. I figure a stretch and massage before the three o'clock group
rehearsal would probably do wonders for my aching muscles. I'll see you
at the show tonight!" Kagome said before turning and starting to walk in
the opposite direction. Inuyasha gave her a slap on the back (very much
like a guy would do to another guy when leaving each others company)
before he thought his action out. Kagome toppled over to her knees in
pain. She turned around and told him that, "It's hard to teach a dog new
tricks.Damn you and your short turn memory! If only I could subdue you
sometimes by saying.Osuwari."
Inuyasha just furrowed his brow and yelled, "Stop treating me like a
DOG! I swear that that was an accident just now!"
"Sure." responded Kagome as she walked away with the pain that seemed
to return to her after their conversation.
But what Kagome didn't know was that in fact Inuyasha was really
attracted to her. He just liked it when she got jealous. Although, now he
also know who is competition was. Kagome also didn't know that he had
partially lied to her about the whole, "advice from Miroku bit." Miroku
and Inuyasha did talk about those things but what Kagome didn't know was
that just by watching couples a person could learn a lot about
relationship. The performers of this circus suffered through a lot of
break-ups and reconciliations; and when you're in the shadows and around
it's too hard to walk away without finding out the latest gossip and
drama. Inuyasha smirked to himself as he got up and walked over to Tanto
and Elli and got them some lunch.
Miroku was in the tent practicing his act. He was not proud of himself and what he had done to Sango on the night of the Flying Higurashi's premiere. Everything was going well until Madam Adele's dancers had shown up. He sighed and thought that no girl in her right mind would like a lech like him for a boyfriend.
Why did he have to be so cursed with women he wondered? Would it be easier if he was gay.because he had no problems with interacting with other males (no unwanted groping and such going on.) He automatically ruled out that option because he just loved women too much to swing the other way. Why was he even thinking like that in the first place? Was he getting desperate? What had the goddess Sango done to him, he wondered?
Miroku, who was now deep in thought, lost his concentration while juggling some hoola hoops. One landed square on his head and the other three followed shortly after hitting him in various areas of his upper body. He rubbed his aching head and looked to the right to see that Sango was watching him rehearse from the main tent's entrance. Sango began to walk toward him and he had felt that one of Sango's remarks was coming his way.
"It looks like your hands are only good at doing one thing hentai. You're lucky your head's so thick or that would have hurt" remarked Sango.
Looking a bit worried but trying to keep his cool Miroku responded, "I did that on purpose you see.I knew that you were standing there the whole time Miss Sango."
"Call me Miss Hiraikotsu for now hentai" replied Sango coldly
"It's obvious that you're still mad at me for being a lech" Miroku said to Sango. Is there anyway that I can possibly make it up to you. I would like to be friendlier terms with you.mind you that I'll try my best not to be too friendly."
"Okay hentai, how about you teach me how to juggle. I mean if you can do it I bet that I can learn too" offered Sango
"Okay let's see.we'll start with juggling two objects. We'll start off with some tennis balls." Miroku handed Sango two tennis balls and he picked up two of his own. "Now to juggle, the objects need to switch places.so, the tennis ball in the left hand has to end up in the right while the ball in the right hand needs to end up in the left hand.
Miroku quickly demonstrated and Sango mimicked him almost perfectly. "That's it Sango.now do you want to try three tennis balls? I warn you this takes more coordination and it is more difficult."
Sango nodded and said, "Why not.I love challenges."
Miroku thought to himself that this girl was exactly his type which was bold and fearless. However, he quickly ripped himself away from his thoughts and continued to explain the art of juggling to Sango. Sango however struggled with the three-ball juggling method. It was exactly as Miroku said...she needed to use more of her coordination. The couple laughed at Sango mistakes and Sango purposely tried to mess up Miroku because of him teasing her coordination and ability to juggle.
An half an hour passed as Sango realized that she need to get ready for their rehearsal too; ever since Kagome had been recovering she had been the one performing the triple twist and flip with Hojo. She hadn't perfected it yet.but she had a feeling that she was close to achieving perfection soon.
Sango looked to Miroku and smiled as she said, "Hey Showoff.listen, I need to go practice the trapeze now so maybe I thought that before the Sengoku Jidai Circus leaves Osaka that you might want to go have dinner with me and Kagome and a friend of hers?"
Miroku looked surprised at this offer but as usual responded with more calm and collected manner before Sango could notice. "Sure Miss Hiraikotsu.it would be swell."
"Okay.good! Oh and you can call me Sango as long as you keep your wandering hands to yourself; I won't forgive you so easily next time. Well I'll see you at the show tonight!" Sango turned on her heals and exited the main tent as quick as she could. She had just asked Miroku out on date.Kagome was right about being too bold for her own good. Nonetheless, Sango could not help but smile. Miroku smiled too.
A/N: I know that I said that I would update later but I couldn't resist. I'm just going to be typing my International Studies essay till the early morning hours but that's my problem not yours ;D!
