Disclaimer: I still don't own Inuyasha or Kagome or Miroku or Shippo or
any of the other characters off the magna or anime.
lostdreams: Wow, people can be so impatient. (And I mean that in a good way!) This fic has only been up since yesterday, and I've already got people asking for more. I'm flattered! Thanks to everyone who read the first chapter. I hope you find this one just as good!

Inuyasha sat at the front table with Shippo and Miroku. I can't believe they brought me here! They had seen two acts so far, and although they had been very good and both women very beautiful, Inuyasha just couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. I don't belong here.What am I doing?
"Lighten up Yasha!" Miroku nudged him. "At least try to have some fun. This isn't that bad," Miroku coaxed. Inuyasha sighed. Shippo and Miroku were both having a great time.
"Na, I'm just getting a little tired." Inuyasha smiled. "Don't worry, I'm having fun." He grinned again at Miroku.
"Good I'm glad."
"Good evening gentleman. We have a special treat tonight," the M.C. called through the mike. "Our newest resident here at The Shikon No Tama, Mistress Jewel!" The lights went down and when the spot came up, Inuyasha saw the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.
Inuyasha couldn't take his eyes off the dancer. She had ebony black hair that was piled on her head in a tasteful mess of curls. Her storm gray eyes were tinted blue and when they looked in his direction, he heart dropped. The music began, a soft lilting tune, and she began to move in fluid motions. His eyes were glued to her. Slowly the beat picked up and she took off the outer kimono to reveal a gold bikini-like outfit, well, that and a perfect body. Her curves were full and natural. Her skin was flawless. Inuyasha felt heat creep into his cheeks as he watched her intoxicating movements. He didn't hear the cat calling and whistles from the crowd around him. His mind was completely lost in the music and the dancer. When she removed the bikini, Inuyasha felt fire coarse through him. His mind was gone, lost completely in her movements and looks. As the music ended she looked right at him, flashing a seductive smile. It took all of Inuyasha's will power not to fall out of the chair. When the music was gone completely so was she. The audience erupted in applause and she appeared again, clothed in a robe, and gave a small bow. Her eyes caught directly on Inuyasha. They remained entrapped in each other's gaze for a full minute before she was ushered off the stage. Not taking his eyes off her, he saw her give him a backward glance and smile. His heart was gone.

Kagome had looked up during the middle of her routine to see the gorgeous white-haired gentleman at the front table. He had piercing amber eyes and he was watching her intently. She continued glancing at him over the course of her routine. When she left the stage the first time, they quickly rushed her back out for a second applause. Her eyes latched on the amber ones and she stood bounded by his gaze. It wasn't until they ushered her off that she broke contact. She had looked over her shoulder at him, surprised to see he was still watching. A smile tugged at her lips and a blush crept into her cheeks as she exited the stage a second time.
"I saw that." Rei's voice snapped Kagome out of her stupor.
"Saw what?" Kagome asked innocently as her face reddened.
"Who are you making google eyes at?" Rei pushed past her and looked through the curtain at the audience. Wanting another glimpse of the man, Kagome peeked over Rei's head.
"Front table, silver hair, amber eyes." She could sense Rei's eyes skimming the crowd until she found the boy. Giving a small whistle, Rei looked him up and down.
"He's a demon," she whispered to Kagome. Kagome only nodded.
It's obvious, she thought. Eyes like that couldn't be human.
"Are ya gonna go for it?" Rei's question, though sounded lighthearted, was loaded. Kagome could only think of the consequences.
"I shouldn't," she said slowly.
"Koga would kill you." Rei looked back out at the man, "but he'd be worth it." Rei turned to Kagome with a smile. "It couldn't hurt to talk to him."
"Yes it could! Especially if Koga found out." Kagome shook her head. No, she could hardly look at another guy. If she were to try and start something, Koga would beat the living shit out of her. With a sad sigh, she headed to her dressing room.

Inuyasha excused himself.
"Be right back," he said, as Miroku gave him a questioning glance. "Bathroom." Inuyasha answered Miroku's silent question. He got up and wandered toward the back of the building. He wanted to find that girl. He had to talk to her. After turning down a corridor he found himself in a hallway full of doors. He was examining the doors when he heard one behind him open. Whipping around, he found himself face to face with 'Mistress Jewel' herself.
"You!" Kagome had stepped through the stage door and found her self face to face with amber eyes.
"Sorry," he said quickly. His voice was deep and soothing. She loved it. Kagome tried to think of someway to get him to talk again. Suddenly they heard voices coming down the hall.
"Shit!" Kagome grabbed the man's hand and rushed into her dressing room. Slamming the door quickly, she listened to see if anyone had noticed them. After a minute she relaxed and realized she was still holding his hand. Blushing fiercely she let go and walked over to her mirror. "You'll have to wait in here a minute, until the coast is clear." She glanced at him again. "So what were you doing back stage anyway? Trying to get thrown out?" Inuyasha went the slightest tinge of pink.
"I was looking for the bathroom," he said quietly. Kagome turned looked at him, her expression clearly stating that she didn't believe him.
"Well it's on the other side of the building," she told him as she turned back to her mirror. While he was looking around the room, Kagome admired him through her mirror. He was tall and had tanned skin. It was clear he worked out, his muscles visible through his shirt. Beautiful silver hair and adorable dog-like ears adorned his head. And his eyes, oh. Kagome could lose herself in the two amber pools. She gave a sigh of pleasure, causing him to look at her quickly. Blushing again she walked through a small closet to get her real clothes. Once out of sight she leaned against the wall to calm her beating heart. She had never seen such a perfect looking man or demon for that matter before. He was incredible.

Inuyasha smiled as she ran into her closet. She had been checking him out, and he was guessing by her reaction, she liked what she saw.
"So, um, what's your name?" she called from her closet.
"Inuyasha," he replied casually, examining the heap of beauty products on her dresser.
"Inuyasha," she rolled the name over her tongue. "So you come to places like this often?" She emerged from the closet wearing tight jeans and a baby tee. Inuyasha almost missed her question he was so struck by her.
"What? Oh, no, no," he covered. "Two of my buddies brought me." He stopped before adding 'It's my birthday'. The girl just smiled.
"Well my name's Kagome." She looked at him through her mirror. She had cleaned all the stage makeup off her face and her hair now rippled down her back. She turned to him and smiled. Inuyasha melted. She looked about to speak again when a noise from the hallway reminded them why they were both in her dressing room. Kagome froze when a sharp knock came on her door.
"Aah!" Kagome gave a little yelp. Grabbing Inuyasha by the arm she pulled him in her closet. "Stay here and be quiet!" she whispered harshly. Inuyasha nodded and Kagome headed for the door.
-@--@-
Kagome gave a backward glance at her closet. There was no evidence that a man was in there. Sighing inwardly, Kagome approached the door.
"Who is it?" Kagome asked, praying her voice wouldn't sound guilty.
"Kagome? It's Rei, open up!" Reiana sounded frustrated.
"Um.why?" Kagome knew that Reiana would know immediately that there was a man in her room.
"What do you mean 'why'?" Rei clearly wasn't leaving anytime soon. "What's going on? Kagome?!?! Are you all right??" Rei's voice was sounding worried. Groaning Kagome cracked the door.
"I'm fine Rei."
"What's going on Kagome?" Rei's eyes narrowed. "Do you have a guy in there?" Kagome's jaw dropped. Rei was good. Kagome's reaction confirmed that she was right. Rei pushed the door all the way open and scanned the room. "Who is it? Where is he?" she asked excitedly. Kagome groaned again. Closing the door quickly, Kagome caved.
"Come on out Inuyasha." As Inuyasha emerged Rei's eyes got wider and wider.
"Damn girl! You don't waste any time!" Rei's eyes took Inuyasha in appreciatively. "Dang, he's even better looking close up. I'll tell ya Kagome, you sure do know how to pick em'." Kagome and Inuyasha both turned brilliant shades of red.
"It's not like that Rei! He got lost looking for the bathroom," Kagome explained weakly.
"Uh huh, sure he did. That's why he ended up in your dressing room right?" Rei's voice feigned innocence as she watched both Kagome and Inuyasha blush deeply yet again. She was enjoying this.
"Well, um," Kagome sputtered trying to come up with some excuse that would effectively explain Inuyasha's presence, other than the truth of course.
"Nevermind. Anyways you better get him out of here before security finds him."
"I know, I know," Kagome said exasperatedly.
"You want me to pull the I-went-in-the-stock-room-and-knocked-over-the- shelving routine?" Rei offered.
"Would you?" This night is slowly getting better. Kagome thought excitedly.
"Sure girl." Rei opened the door and glanced do the empty hallway. "Alrighty, wait for my signal then book it for the exit." Both Kagome and Inuyasha nodded.
"Kay then. Here we go." Rei started to leave but grabbed Kagome's arm on an after thought. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do." She whispered. Kagome looked shocked.
"But there isn't anything you wouldn't do!" Kagome whispered back.
"Exactly." Reiana's grin was positively evil. Kagome gave out an appalled squeak at what she was implying.
"Go! We're gonna get caught!" Kagome pushed Reiana out the door, while glancing at Inuyasha seeing if he had heard Reiana's words. Reiana smiled at them before heading down the corridor to the stock room. She gave a wink as she opened the door and disappeared inside.
"So what's the signal?" Inuyasha asked, still peering down the corridor.
"You'll see," Kagome answered with sheer amusement in her voice. A short time later a loud crash was heard followed by a blood-curdling scream. Kagome would have been worried if she hadn't heard this act before. Taking a firm grip on Inuyasha's hand, Kagome headed down the corridor towards the backstage exit. It wasn't long before the two were back in the alley behind the club.
"So what now?" Inuyasha asked, giving her a small smile.

lostdreams: Aagh! Sorry I left a cliffhanger, but sometimes you just have too. At any rate, I'm going to try to be as timely with these as possible, but as of now, I don't have a lot actually typed. A good chunk is written, but the editing and typing part will take a while, so I'm sorry if the next chapters are not as speedy as this one! Please keep sending me your reviews! I love to hear them!
