I'm back everyone, thanks to those who reviewed. Also big thanks to FreetheSoul888 the fanfic is finally edited. Thank you! Someone ask that are Kaori and Kurama dating? The answer is… No, not currently. I have finally decided what Rin's role is; she is a lifelong friend with Kagome and a fashion designer. She designs every outfit that Kagome has worn when performing. She and Kagome live together in an apartment in Tokyo. I don't think I have mentioned this but this story takes place in Tokyo, I have never been to Tokyo before so if I get anything wrong, sorry!! Side note: Sango, Miroku, and Kurama all live with Inuyasha. Since they are his personal "workers."
Enjoy the story!!

Chapter 3 – Inuyasha's Partner?!
"Guys, I think I just found us a dancer for Inuyasha. And somehow, she looks so familiar!" Kaori said after witnessing an excellent performance by Kagome Higurashi.
"Yes, I think you're right. She does look like someone" Kurama said
And suddenly it hit them.
"She looks just like Kikyou!" Miroku said shockingly
"She is a natural born dancer and looks like Kikyou. She'll be great for Inuyasha! Not to mention she is a great singer too." Sango said excitedly
"Her moves are so smooth and practically flawless." Kaori comments
"We have to get her to the concert with Inuyasha. Any ideas as to how?" Kurama asked.
"She is probably a big fan of Inuyasha, so as soon as we mention his name she'll say yes right a way." Miroku said as if that was the most obvious answer in the world.
But only god knows how wrong he was.
At the end of the performance Kagome went backstage and saw Rin waiting for her. She walked towards Rin with the biggest smile on her face. She had sung 4 songs and made no mistakes on any one of them.
"Rin, how did I do? I don't think I made any mistakes except that I was kinda slow on the second verse for Intuition." Kagome asked not sure what others thought about her performance
"It was awesome, you looked like you were born to sing and dance on stage." Rin complimented her
"Thanks Rin."
"Here, why don't you go back to the dressing room? There are some people who want to see you for some important matter!" Rin told the young singer.
"Important matter? Uh oh, did they say who they were?" Kagome asked.
"Nope, only that they are here to represent someone and they looked pretty serious. Do you know who they are?"
"Not sure, but I think it might be my old employers. I kinda forgot to tell them that I was quitting… oops." Kagome said nervously.
"Well I'll go with you just in case okay?"
Kagome nodded and they made their way back to the dressing room. As soon as they walked into the room they saw four people sitting by the make-up table, obviously waiting for Kagome. She walked towards them, feeling relieved since they were not her old employers.
"I assume you guys are the ones looking for me?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, my name is Miroku Nakamura. This is my assistant Sango Yamamoto." Miroku introduced.
"Since when am I your assistant? Dream on you…" Sango's face suddenly turned red and steam was coming out of her head.
--Smack--
"Keep your hand off my ass you stupid pervert." Sango glared at the currently unconscious pervert.
O . o
"……." Kagome and Rin were speechless
"Don't mind them too much, this happens everyday. Hi, my name is Kaori Tatsumi and this is Kurama Tsuzitani." Kaori held her hand out and Kagome shook it.
"Pleasure is all mine. I'm Kagome and this is Rin." She points to Rin.
"Hi Ms. Tatsumi and Mr. Tsuzitani, pleased to meet you." Rin greeted.
"Just call me Kurama and her Kaori, no need to be all formal" Kurama said.
"So, why are you guys looking for me? For a second I thought you guys were my old employers" Kagome asked.
"Well, the four of us originally came to get a drink. But when we saw you dancing on stage, we just had to see and talk to you about something very important." Sango informed the girl.
"See and talk to me? Wait a minute, you guys look so familiar and so does the last name Tatsumi! Ahhhh… who else has that last name?" the frustrated girl said.
"I guess it should, because Inuyasha Tatsumi is my twin brother!" Kaori chuckled.
"THE Inuyasha Tatsumi is your brother!? The one that just broke up with Kikyou Matsuo!" Kagome gasped, realizing what this could mean.
Ever since the first time she laid eyes on the T.V and saw people dancing and singing, she instantly knew that being a performer was what she wanted to do. Being famous doesn't matter to her, but performing does whether it is just a school play or a T.V show. She just wants to get out there and do her thing. She started taking dance lessons when she was just a little kid and had been dancing ever since. She joined the choir when she was in middle school and during her high school years, she was in all the school plays and musical productions and starred as the main character for the last four plays.
"Oh my gosh! So that means you are the sister of Sesshomaru too? How cool is that! I'm a big fan of his, especially his latest file, god I love it" Rin squealed suddenly.
"No need to sound so surprised or anything." Miroku said, trying to be modest.
"But anyways, we are here because we have a situation on our hands and we need your help Ms. Higurashi!" Kurama said seriously.
"My help? Why do you guys of all people need my help?" Kagome asked with a confused look.
"Well, as you already know, Kikyou and Inuyasha broke up right?" Sango asked as Kagome nodded. "Kikyou was also Inuyasha's dance partner. Well since the break up, Kikyou quit as his dance partner. Inuyasha is a very gifted dancer so not everyone can keep up with him. We've audition today but no one seems to be good enough for the job but…"
"That was until we saw you up there tonight!" Kurama interrupted.
"Me?" Kagome said and was even more confuse now than before.
"Yes, we saw you dancing up there and you were just amazing. We just audition over 300 girls today and none of them has the joy for dancing like you. That is why we want to hire you as Inuyasha's dance partner for the upcoming concert which is in three months!" Kaori finally asked the girl.
"WHAT!? YOU WANT TO HIRE ME AS INUYASHA'S DANCE PARTNER!!!??" Kagome practically screamed. "Whoa… this is too much for one day!" she walked over to the closest chair and sat down.
"And with your singing ability, you and Inuyasha can become a duet! This is great!" Miroku exclaimed.
"Me and Inuyasha, a duet! Again this is WAY too much for one day." Kagome said as she just kept shaking her head.
"You know, most girls would die for the job and you are just sitting there thinking!" Miroku said.
"To tell you the truth, I don't really know who he is. Heck, I don't even really know what he looks like? I just know him from all my friends who talk about him non-stop. I am so absorbed in dancing, singing and my job, I hardly have time to do anything else let alone watch T.V or pay attention to the gossip and stuff."
O.O
"You don't know who Inuyasha is Kagome?" Rin asked. "Wow, he is only the hottest celebrity around!"
"I haven't really paid attention to things like that in a long time. And like I said before, I only know him because you talk about him. All I know is that he is a singer who dated Kikyou, and kinda what he looks like!" Kagome admitted.
"This could be a problem. The good thing is that you look just like Kikyou, except for the eyes." Kaori observed.
"Yup, you have blue while hers are gray." Kurama said.
"So, are you gonna accept the offer Ms. Higurashi?" Sango asked.
"Please just call me Kagome. I still have to think about this a little more. I'll get back to you guys on that. I'm too tired to make important decisions like this right now." Kagome said.
"That's fine, this is a big deal after all. You can just call me on this number if you need me or anything Ms. Kagome." Miroku winked while one hand hands her a business card and the other made its way to Kagome's bottom.
"Thanks Miroku, I'll definitely put a lot of thinking into thi... ahhhh! You pervert!" Suddenly Kagome's face turned a bright red color. She slapped him right across the face, and she wasn't the only one. Sango had also punched him in the head from behind. Miroku fell unconscious onto the floor.
"If I were you Kagome, I'll be more careful around 'him'. He is the most perverted, lecherous guy you'll ever meet in your whole entire life." Sango muttered.
"I noticed but thanks anyways."
"Well, just promise us that you'll put a lot of thinking into this because we really need you!" Kurama said.
"I will don't worry." Kagome reassured them.
"That's good to know!" Kaori said happily, "it'll be cool working with you since I am the chorographer for Inuyasha."
"Really, that would be awesome! I mean being you're so young."
"Well I am, but I've been dancing ever since I could walk." Kaori said proudly.
"It's getting late and I'm really tired now, I better get going home. I'll get back to you guys as soon as I can think clearly."
"Would you like to bare my child Sango, Kaori, Rin and Kagome?" Miroku mumbled while he is still unconscious.
-- -- lll
"Is that normal? Do you think his brain is damage from the blow you gave him?" Rin asked uncertainly.
"Yeah, he's fine. He gets these hits from me everyday. I just can't believe that the pervert is still a pervert when he is unconscious." Sango muttered.
"If he's asking this kind of question when he is unconscious, think what he thinks about when he is asleep?" Kurama grinned.
"Trust me, I don'twanna know!" Kaori said. "We better go too, it is getting late and I'm tired as well from all these auditions we did today. Bye Kagome, hope to hear from you soon."
"Bye guys!"
Everyone waved to her except Miroku who was unconscious, Kurama picked him up and threw him over his shoulder. While they were walking out the door, one of Miroku's wandering hands made its way to poor Kurama's… butt. Kurama's veins were popping, and steam was coming out of his ears. He dropped Miroku like he was a burning hot coal.
"Wow my dear Sango, I never knew your butt was so firm and strong. The last time I touched it, it was soft." Miroku mumbled again.
Both Kurama and Sango had had just about enough of this, when Miroku woke up. Before he knew where he was and what he was doing, the poor Miroku was beaten back to a state of unconscious by two very angry people, one being Sango and the other being Kurama. The two stormed outta the club and into the car leaving Kaori dealing with the pervert. She picks him up by holding the collar of his shirt and dragged him out.
"That was, umm… weird." Rin commented.
"I thought that was quite amusing." Kagome said with a smile.
"So Kagome, an offer from Inuyasha's people. That's so cool!" Rin exclaimed.
"Yeah, I guess."
"You don't sound very happy about this."
"I am happy about this; I just never thought that I'd get an offer like this one." Kagome said thoughtfully.
"Anyways, you were great tonight I mean it. It was like you were born to do this." Rin commented.
"Thanks, I was really proud of myself tonight too." Kagome smiled, "hey Rin, you wanna go grab a drink before heading back?"
"Of course, to celebrate your success and the bright future ahead of you!" Rin declared .
The two walked out of the dressing room and into the bar area. Hojo was the bartender today, which means free drinks for them. They walked towards the bar while trying to look for two empty spots, the bar was quite busy today considering it is only 10:30pm at night. After a minute two men left the bar, leaving two empty spots. Kagome and Rin quickly walk towards the seats. After Sitting down, Hojo walked towards the two with his usual cheesy smile.
"What can I get you two ladies?" Hojo asked as if he never met them before.
Kagome and Hojo went way back. They met each other in Kindergarten and lost contact after middle school. It was only couple weeks ago when Kagome and Rin went shopping and bumped into Hojo in the mall that they finally got to see each other again. And also, it was Hojo who hooked Kagome up with performance tonight. So in a way, thanks to Hojo, she got the offer from Kaori.
"Can I get a strawberry smoothie please?" Kagome smiled.
"And I want a pink lemonade please!" Rin said.
"Of course ladies, your drinks will be ready in a just a minute." Hojo bowed to them, causing them to giggle and went to get their drinks. Minutes later, he came back with their drinks and said "Here are your drinks my ladies, enjoy!"
"Oh stop it Hojo, you are being silly." Rin giggled.
"Fine I'll stop. By the way, good job tonight Kagome, you were great!" Hojo commented.
"Thanks, and you will never believe who came by after the show!" Kagome said.
"Let me guess, ummm, your mom?" Hojo joked.
"Better than that, Inuyasha's sister, Kaori, came and offered her to be Inuyasha's personal dance partner!" Rin squealed.
"Inuyasha's dance partner!" Hojo's eyes went wide. After some thinking and processing the info he was just given he finally said "Congrats Kag, see I told you you'd make it big!"
"Hold your horses Hojo, Rin said that they offered me a job, that doesn't mean I accepted it!"
"What!? Why not, I mean you are a great dancer, and tons of other people would die for what they offered you!" Hojo exclaimed and was beyond shock. "I mean, I know I wouldn't give it up so easily."
"It's just too much for one day, I'm tired and I don't wanna make a decision that I'll regret later." Kagome said simply.
"Guess you're right. But still, this is too good of an opportunity to give up."
"I know Hojo, but my dream is to perform in front of people, not to be famous or anything." Kagome sighed while taking a sip of her drink.
"It's getting late and I'm really tired. Let's go Kagome." Rin got up and was about to pay for the drinks when Hojo stopped her.
"Don't worry, it's on the house!" Hojo winked.
"Thanks Hojo, see ya later!" Kagome got up and took a final sip of her drink. She grabbed her purse and exited out the door with Rin.
--Inuyasha and the others --
It was 12:00 at night and somehow, Inuyasha couldn't seem to fall asleep. Usually by this time he would be asleep already, that is if he wasn't at a party or working. He kept on tossing and turning on his bed. Unable to sleep, he got up and walked out to his little balcony again. He was trying to think of a reason why he couldn't sleep, but to no such luck. All he could think about was her.
Kikyou…
"God dammit, why can't you stay out of my mind Kikyou?"
Frustrated, he decided to go get a beer from the fridge in the kitchen. In the kitchen, just when he was about to open the lock on the fridge due to his annoying sister and brother deciding to lock it at night so he couldn't drink anymore; he heard a voice walking into the kitchen.
"Inuyasha is gonna love her!" he heard Miroku said opening the door into the kitchen.
'I'm gonna love who?' Inuyasha had a confuse look on his face.
Then Miroku, Sango, Kaori and Kurama walk in with the happiest look on their faces as if they won the Billion lotteries.
"Inuyasha, what the hell do you think you are doing? I locked it because I don't want you to drink!" Kaori said angrily.
"Who am I gonna love?" Inuyasha ask determined to change the subject.
"Don't change the freakin' subject!" Kaori glared.
"I am just trying to get a cup of milk, is that a crime?" Inuyasha asked innocently.
"You know what, I'm not gonna argue with you tonight, I'm in too good of a mood for you to spoil!" Kaori grinned.
"Why are you guys so happy?" Inuyasha asked 'this is way too creepy!'
"Nothing, it's just been a long day of work and we just had a drink to relieve ourselves." Sango said.
"Oh, it's okay for you guys to drink but not me!?" Inuyasha said angrily.
"Duh, we don't get drunk like you. We know when to stop drinking." Kurama said simply.
"Feh."
"Anyways, you were saying that I am gonna love someone, who is that someone Miroku?" Inuyasha asked the pervert.
"No one in particular." Miroku said in an odd tone.
"Sure, whatever you say Miroku!" The half-demon said while looking at Miroku suspiciously.
"Well, I'm gonna turn in now, Night guys" Sango yawned.
"Night my dear Sango, sweet dreams!" Miroku said while trying to say it in the sexiest tone he could muster.
"No thanks pervert. Only gods know what your definition of sweet dreams mean!" Sango waved as she headed out the door.
"That hurts Sango!" Miroku yelled after her, "oh well, I better turn in too. I gotta finish the wonderful dream I was dreaming before you guys rudely woke me up." He said dreamily.
"You mean the one with all the fairies and stuff." Kurama smirked.
"How did you know that?" Miroku's jaw dropped.
"It's kinda hard not too know since you were like 'oh my dear Sango, since when did you become a fairy and learn how to fly. You look so good in those tight mini-skirts. Don't fly away my dear Sango…' Yeah, you should've seen her face after you shouted that out-loud." Kaori giggled.
"No wonder there was a bump on my head!" A light-bulb lit up inside his head as he rubbed his head.
By this time, Inuyasha and Kurama were downright laughing out loud at Miroku who in turn threw two different pieces of bread at them. They both caught the bread in their hands and threw it back at Miroku.
"Owwww, I think I suffered enough hits today!" Miroku got up and headed for the door. "I'm gonna go to sleep now!"
"Don't you get him everyday! I mean you should be used to it by now." Inuyasha pointed out the obvious. Miroku just continued walking and gave him the finger.
"No thanks Miroku, I ain't gay and I definitely don't wanna do you." Inuyasha yelled at the pervert who just ignored him.
"Well, it has been a long day so night bro, Kurama. See ya in the morning." Kaori got up as well.
"Hold up, something just crossed my mind. You said that you guys were working right?" Kaori nodded her head. "What were you guys working on? How come I didn't know that? I mean you guys are my personal everything."
"Sorry Inuyasha, our lives don't revolve around you." Kaori said.
"Besides, you normally don't care what we do or not. You just like to stay home and do nothing. You never hang with us now these days" Kurama points out.
"Just tell me what you guys were doing." Inuyasha demanded.
"No" Kaori said simply.
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Ye--"
"Fine, we held an audition for back up dancers, that's it" Kurama lied.
"Oh, then why didn't you just tell me?" Apparently, Inuyasha was satisfied with the answer Kurama provided.
"Well because I don't wanna, you got a problem with that!" Kaori challenged Inuyasha.
"Well yes of course!"
"You know what, I'm not even gonna argue. It is a complete waste of my time! I'm gonna go to sleep now, 'night Kurama!" Kaori left the kitchen, leaving Inuyasha and Kurama by themselves
"I'm gonna go to bed now, see ya in the morning Inuyasha." With that, Kurama left the room also.
"Fine, just leave me here in the kitchen all alone by myself. What nice friends I have!" Inuyasha screamed.
"GO TO SLEEP INUYASHA!! CAUSE I NEED MY 10 HOURS OF SLEEP!" Kaori screamed back from up the stairs.
