Disclaimer: I own none of the anime characters except for Julin. The others are creations made by my friends Except for Shaoran. . Who in fact belongs to Shanahia.

Excel: Welcome to Chapter 7 of Runaways. Or is this 6? Shrugs I forgot. Anyway this chapter is going to bring in a whole new twist. We meet Sayuri and Yuriko. Both are members of the faculty and both will befriend Julin and Akasha. Now before the rest of the alliance get sin here lets start the show!

Back in her dorm room she noticed Sesshomaru was gone so she had the place to herself. Kicking off her shoes she ran into the bathroom to shower. Washing up with her favorite scented lotion she stepped out in bliss. Going over to her wardrobe she thought to herself. 'Alright knowing Akasha this will be a lot like a club party so jean shorts are in. but this my first party in Japan so I'll take it up a notch." She thought. Thinking hard she snapped her fingers she yelped. "I got it!' she said and rushed into her closet.

Inuyasha already had the outfit he wanted covered. After getting out the shower-sopping wet only a fluffy white towel around his waist he set to combing his hair. (Okay who loves the thought of the human Inu-chan in nothing but a towel just coming out the shower? Now in this he is built so he doesn't look scrawny whatsoever. Lets drool over that a bit!)

Looking behind him through the mirror he spotted his roommate he grinned.

"So who are you dressing up for?" she said blinking electric blue eyes at him. She cocked her head to the side motioning to the closet he set out on a chair.

"Hey it's the first party Sayuri! I have to look better than usual." He laughed. Sayuri wore some jeans, a white tank top and her famous bunny slippers. She looked at him over the top her manga. Sayuri Ashlin Asakura had black hair with violet streaks in it. She was freakishly smart though from her behavior you wouldn't be able to tell right away. But it was her older brother that brought them close. Her brother Eden Asakura was a good friend of his but his mysterious disappearance made Sayuri and Inuyasha the good friends they were now.

"Inuyasha you look good all the time. But still I'd hate for a party like this to go to waste." She drawled making her eyes roll over to his CD collection. His eyes lit up/

"You know you keep that up I just might keep you." He said affectionately ruffling her hair. She grinned at him

"I'm going to the store for something let's meet up later!" she called out. He nodded and waved at her retreating form.

"Well now that she has given me a great idea." He said to himself he busied himself getting ready.

After getting dressed he pulled the comb through his hair one more time just to be sure then he pulled it into a tight low ponytail. He sprayed some cologne on. "Man I'm good." He said to himself in the mirror. He looked through his CD's and picked out one. "This should make her mind whirl." He said quietly. Leaving out putting it in his pocket.

Julin saw him and her mouth dropped. 'He looks more devilish than Sesshomaru. (So Inu-chan really, really looks good.)'

"Bonjour cherie." He said kissing her hand. She could have died right then in there if Akasha hadn't come out

"Julin what have I told about wearing that skirt!" she exclaimed sounding like she was a patronizing parent. Julin looked at her black skort, and its length which was not very much since it showed a good portion on her thigh but not skimpy.

"I happen to like that." Said Inuyasha.

"Akasha it's a skort and I like it so lemme lone." She said crossing her arms over her tank top that said "Foxy" in blue and gold letters. Wearing gloves that had the fingers out and black sneakers she looked ready to move. Inuyasha wore black cargo pants, which hung around his hips and a button down short sleeve shirt that had a picture of a giant dragon breathing out blue flames. Which just happened curl to spell out this name. (Someone is confident isn't he?)

"Whatever, you two are late." Said Akasha till someone came bouncing out the door.

"Kasha! Shaoran says your dog won't leave him alone." They said. Julin stared at them and took in the outfit. It was easy to see it was a girl wearing boy clothes. A jersey and baggy jeans completed her look. She stared at Julin and Inuyasha till she hugged both off them

"Wassup!" she said happily. Immediately Julin took a liking to her. This girl was funny!

"How are you?' she said.

"Good and you?" the girl answered.

"Fine thanks. I'm Julin." She said. The girl hugged her again.

"I'm Yuriko! Nice ta meetcha. I know you already, Inuyasha." She said pushing him in the shoulder. He laughed at her.

"Wassup Riko?" he said. She beamed.

"You two are missin the party and I gotta get back to help Shao with his dog problem." She said pulling them inside. There she disappeared but her jet-black braids glinted once and they saw her going towards Shaoran who look a bit peeved. She had turquoise eyes that shone with playfulness. Julin almost laughed out loud when Cleopatra tried to take a snap at Shaoran tail and she went over to help.

"Cleo!" she said and the dog came over to her. She stroked her ears and laughed. "Why are you bothering the sexy kitty eh?" she said shaking the dog's head. The dogs licked her nose and Julin giggled.

"Now you leave poor Shaoran alone and apologize for being so mean." She said and Cleo went back to Shaoran and hopped onto his lap and nudged his face. Shaoran smiled and mouthed a "Thank you". Waving back she started to try and find Akasha till she felt to strong arms envelope her from behind.

"You almost escaped me that time." Said a deep sexy male voice. She chuckled and turned around to see Inuyasha moving in time with the music. Listening to the song she grinned. 'Let's see how bad he really is.' She thought and started to sing with the song.

"How you like it Daddy? How you like it Daddy?" she wrapped her arms around his neck and started to grind up against him. Over his shoulder she could see Yuriko asking Shaoran to dance. Shaoran agreed and started moving towards the dance floor and that's all she saw before Inuyasha wrapped his arm around her waist and dipped to what looked like a very compromising position.

'Damn she smells like strawberries mixed with a thunderstorm with a hint of Plumeria. Its intoxicating!' Inuyasha's mind screamed at him. Then she turned around and wrapped her arms around him backwards and started to grind against his thigh. 'Okay you know what there was a reason this was outlawed in France.' He thought then smirked then he pushed her up against a wall her stomach pressed into the wall when the sound said hit it from the back.

Looking at Akasha and Kenshin they were dancing just like she and Inuyasha were. (Yes parties like these are done and it gets worse as the party goes on) Looking over she saw Shaoran and Yuriko were dancing even worse! Yuriko pressed in a wall her leg wrapped around Shaoran waist as they grinded. (I've seen that done before it does not look right! Trust me! Shaoran is a freeeeeeak-a-leak! Which is actually the name of the song if you haven't realized it by now.)

Too bad neither one knew that Akasha had claimed this song to "Dance as freaky as you can contest'. Then he brought her back up to sit on the chair and grinded her while she sat then she hopped up and the song changed to a sensual tango. Yuriko and Shaoran followed suit and the spotlight fell on those two couples.

Shaoran and Inuyasha twirled the girls till they spun into the center of the room meeting each in the middle of the floor. Inuyasha and Shaoran walked circles around them till the girls turned and slid into their arms. They "Tango walked" around the other couple till two roses cam from two different directions and Shaoran and Inuyasha caught it their mouths while dipping the girl backwards. (Who knew? A Cat & Dog dancing?). Bringing them up slowly they fanned out and let the girl cross till Julin reached Shaoran and Yuriko reached Inuyasha.

They grabbed each other and waltzed around a bit before the men were back to back and did this foot thing were they crossed their legs and spun till they reached their respective partners. Inuyasha feeling a bit adrenaline rushed. (Now you know something wrong is going to happen). He leaned down appearing to kiss Julin till they all realized that all they did was transfer the rose. Shaoran followed suit his lips gently brushing Yuriko's. (2 guesses on who Zee-Chan girl friend is going to be!) Dancing until the girls were a bit more than 4 feet away from each other they dipped them over their thigh till the girls crossed in a delicate X the men using only one hand to balance them the other stretched behind them. (Beautiful really. I did their dance once I almost cried when I saw myself on tape.)

Once the song ended the lights cut off on them. Everyone applauded. Julin looked over at Yuriko who had a serious blush on her cheeks being that she still held Shaoran's hand. Shaoran and Inuyasha looked unaffected. (Okay I cannot see Shaoran not being able to dance. I reaaaly don't but you guys are going to love me when this next person dances. Hee heee heee.)

"Julin come here!" called Akasha. Inuyasha smirked and she went over.

"What happened?" she asked Akasha.

"It's Sesshomaru! He's not dancing!" she said.

"Wait let me guess. You want me to get him to dance... am I right?" she asked. Before Akasha could say anything she added. "No way! He left me by myself today! I'm not dancing with him." She finished. The next song had a strong beat and was ideal for pop locking so Julin started foot working while Akasha walked.

"Alright for a box of the Lendt chocolate that you like." Julin stopped and bit her lip. Akasha seeing the opening continued.

"And that chocolate milkshake you had in Germany?" she said and Julin collapsed.

"I'm going!" she said and went over to Sesshomaru who sitting on the couch drinking a soda. (No alcohol yet. Tis only the beginning of the school year!) She plopped down next to him he studied her out of the corner of his eye.

"Dance with me." she said.

"I don't dance Julin." He answered in an almost bored way. (Don't you hate when he does that!)

"Yes you do." She replied.

"No I don't."

"I'll teach you."

"No thanks."

"Just one dance."

"No."

"Just one."

"No!"

"Please?" she said

"No!" she huffed and smirked inwardly going for his ego next.

"Geez who would have thought you were afraid to dance!"

"You dare call this Sesshomaru a coward?" she could tell he was biting.

"Oh no I'm not. You 're handling that pretty well on your own." She said looking up at him. He growled at her and hefted her to her feet.

"Let's go." He said. She smirked. 'Almost all guys bend to their pride being challenged.' She said till Sesshomaru started dancing. She looked at his moves and gaped. This boy could move and he was almost beating her! (That was her ego talking he was almost playing her out)

"Fine be like that." She said and started to dance with him. (Okay just imagine the dance from "save the last dance and you got that one cuz all this typing is not helping to story go along at all)

At the end Julin smirked." I knew it!" And she turned before she could see Sesshomaru eyes start to tinge with red. (Uh oh!) She plopped down, grabbing a soda from the cooler. "I wonder where Kenshin is?" she thought to herself. Looking around she spotted him and almost spit out her drink.

Kenshin was on the table taking off his shirt! (Drool with me ladies! Drools) He smirked at her and motioned for to come up there and dance with him. Not missing the naughty wink he gave her, she got up and went over to him and started to belly dance. (This song is Dip-it –low just so ya know!) Singing along with the song she did the movements against Kenshin.

"Dip it low! Pick it up slow! Move all around poke it like yo back broke. Pop the pop the pop that thang. I show how to make you man say oooh!" she said moving her hips to the song. Kenshin said that rap as she popped her hips. (I can't remember that rap for anything sowwy!)

The party continued like this till about 2:30 in the morning. At that point almost everybody except Inuyasha, Julin, Sesshomaru, Shaoran, Yuriko, Akasha, Miroku, Kouga, and Kenshin were left. They all were plopped out on the floor or on a chair.

Well that went well didn't it?" said Kenshin who was laid out next to Julin after their dance together. They all groaned (well except Sesshomaru who is too dignified for that)

"Girl, you ever make me get up and dance again I will kill you." Said Sesshomaru.

Julin laughed weakly. She struggled to get up and stare at him.

"Hey I just boosted your 1 of the most sexiest men on campus status so lemme lone." She laughed as he growled and let his neck roll back and hit the couch.

"Ooh! Julin I had idea for Moulin Rouge for you!" said Akasha.

"Do I have a choice in the matter?" she said using Inuyasha's knee to hold her head as she sat up.

"Not really. I just need you to do a song for me. Oh! Do that one from "Chicago". When you're good to Mama. Eh mama?" she said with a wink. Julin got up and went into the room. When she got out she was behind a giant feathery fan and she went into a corner when the music started she peeked out at them.

"Ask any of the chickies in my pen. They'll tell you I'm the biggest mother hen... I love them all an all of them love me. Because the system works. This system called... Reciprocity!" she sang. Smacking down the fan she reveled her outfit. (Basically it was Satine's first outfit from "Diamonds are a girls best friend' except it was red.) Walking in a saucy little way she continued.

"Got a little motto. Always sees me through. When you're good to Mama..." she started she stroked down Kenshin's body while looking out. (Kenshin was standing so she went down his body caressing his leg) Then she looked at Kenshin and continued "Mama's good to you." She said walking away smacking his butt with her fan. She continued walk with her fan till she reached her end of her 'stage' where Sesshomaru was sitting.

"There's a lot of favors... I'm prepared to do." She sang leaning over to reveal her ample chest. "You do one for Mama. She'll do one for you" she sang turning around and kicking out her leg before walking a bit more.

"They say that life is Tit- for-Tat and that's the way I live." She said moving over to Miroku swaying her hips. "Well I deserve a lot of Tat for what I've got to give. Straitening up she put the fan over one hand. "Don't you know that this hand... washes that one too? When you're good to Mama. Mama's good to you." She said when Akasha turned on the lights that cast her into a shadow so all you could see was the outline of her body and she continued to dance.

At the end of her dance her fan was gone and she walked over to Inuyasha sitting on his lap and crossing her legs one over the other. Reaching into her dress she started to pull out a scarf and he looked on wide eyed as it slid out. (We can guess where Inuyasha mind went!) "If you want my gravy. Pepper my Ragout." She stood up and slid the scarf between her other fingers of her other and bringing it up from a "ahem" strategic place. "Spice it up for mama. She'll get hot for you." She said as if fanning herself.

"When they pass that basket. Folks contribute too. You put in for Mama. She'll put out for you." She said swaying her hips against the scarf.

"The folks atop the ladder are the one's the world adores. So boost me up my ladder kid and I'll boost you up yours." She said swaying away from them. "Let's all stroke together. Like the Princeton crew. "she sang she laid over Kouga's lap stretching her legs upward. "When you're stroking Mama..." she said caressing his face "Mama's stroking you!" she said getting up.

"So what's the one conclusion I can bring this number too... When your good to Mama! Mama's good to you!" she sang posing for them." Ah yes!" she ended. Everyone applauded for her. She blushed a bit and started back for the room till Inuyasha grabbed her. She turned to face him and caught his gaze. Her breath hitched in her throat. Inuyasha though exquisite before looked downright gorgeous now!

"I'd like to get to know you better... Julin Kogami." He said and her blushed deepened again for the first time noticing how bare her skin was.

"Y-yeah. Well we got t-the whole school year so um... yeah I can guess you can." She stuttered quite unlike herself. She turned away from him going for the door.

"I'll be waiting for then. "He said lowly as she walked away. She paused in her steps but continued.

"Don't hurt her Inuyasha." Said Shaoran. Inuyasha turned to him. He smirked and sat down.

"If she is so naïve to believe that I want her friendship after that little stunt I pulled with fighting her she's got another thing coming." He said sitting down.

"Why you sick little..." started Shaoran getting up from his chair.

"Shaoran." said Sesshomaru quietly stopping the cat in his tracks. Shaoran turned to glare at him.

"Leave Inuyasha alone. Despite the fact that she seems she is vague she is quite the little clever young woman. Do not make the mistake of underestimating her." he said lowly. Shaoran stared at him as Inuyasha scoffed.

"No girl has brought me to my knees yet. I doubt she will." He said.

"Julin... is not your average girl Inuyasha. You will learn that lesson soon enough." He said getting up and walking out the room.

"Be careful with Julin, Inuyasha. She has surprises all her own. Some of them I don't think even you might be able to take." Said Yuriko. Inuyasha turned to her.

"How do you know?" he asked. She blinked.

"Call it a girl's intuition. Julin doesn't look the type to fall under a man that easily." She said. Inuyasha shrugged.

"I never said I was going to play it easy." He said Kouga gave a disgusted sigh.

"You are such a little asshole you know that?" he said walking out.

"Fuck you!" yelled Inuyasha. Julin came out wearing her clothes from before with a yawn.

"Such profanity at this time is not good for my mental health." She said. Inuyasha smiled at her.

"It's only 3:00 am koi." He said. She blinked at him owlishly then raced for the door.

"I gotta sleep then study! Oh nooo!" she wailed having a problem with the door.

"School doesn't start till next week." Said Kenshin. She cursed and sat down.

"So what! I want to be ahead so the teachers don't bother me. I can't stand them!' she said. Shaoran went over and opened the door easily.

"You were pulling instead of pushing." He said easily. She blushed profusely and bowed in thanks.

'Thanks Shao. Well goodnight everybody!" she said.

after everyone left and only Akasha and Kenshin are left

"I don't feel right Kenshin." Said Akasha. Kenshin wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

"Kasha don't worry. Julin is a smart girl she can get past Inuyasha." He said comfortingly.

"But what if she doesn't?" she said.

"Then we can just hook her up with someone who has serious competition with him." He said.

Akasha's eyes widened. "And I got the perfect person." She said

"Sesshomaru!" called Julin. Sesshomaru looked out from the library door and waved her inside. She went towards him Anastasia at her heels. When she went inside she found him laying on the rug a book in front of him.

"Yes Julin." He said looking at her out the corner of his eye. She sighed and laid down next to him.

"Can I trust you not to tell a secret?" she said. He used his hand to rest his head on while he turned his head to the side to face her

"Of course." He said softly. She sighed regretfully.

"I keep getting the feeling that Inuyasha is using me to get back from the first day." She said. He watched as she turned to lie on her back.

"Interesting prospect." He said. She turned to him.

"What should I do?" she asked. He turned his head a bit more till his hair fell to frame his face. She stared at him.

"Well though I would like to give you advice Julin, you must trust your own instincts otherwise you will never learn from your mistakes." He said gently.

"Aw. That isn't much help." She said.

"Trust your instincts Julin. They will never lie." He said softly. She sighs. 'Trust my instincts." She thought. Sesshomaru gave a low chuckle.

"What's up?" She said looking at him.

"Nothing. You just look adorable when you think so hard." He said with a small smile. She smiled in return.

"Thanks." She said.

"Not a problem." He said turning back to his book.

"What are you reading?" she asked.

"A Murder mystery. I like to think." He said simply.

"I can tell. You look super intelligent." She said smiling. He laughed lowly.

"Why thank you." He said she smiled and read over his shoulder. "So you've seen Chicago before?" he said. She nodded.

"Yes its one of my favorite musicals." She said.

"Did you like the 'The Cell Block Tango'" he asked.

"Yes. I took it upon myself to learn all the dances myself." She said. He smirked at this.

"Would you mind doing them with me?" he asked. She grinned.

"How about later today being that its 3 am already that way I can do it full out." She said.

"Fine by me. Whenever you're ready." He said. She hugged him around the middle causing him to fall to his back. He chuckled and stoked her back.

"See you later Sesshomaru." she said getting up. She walked to the door. "Goodnight." She said smiling at him. He raised a hand and nodded at her. She walked out feeling much better.

Excel: Sorry for the delay. My computer was acting stupid.

La-la: Inuyasha is a little b.

Excel: Hey! No profanity!

Iesha: Hey you put it in the story!

Excel: There was a reason for that. In what episode of Inuyasha have you ever seen Kouga or Inuyasha not curse each other out?

Kawaii: She does have a point that can't be disputed with.

Amiri: For once Excel has said something that has made sense.

Excel/Fox: F you.

Amiri; Now you have no right to call out someone else for using profanity.

Excel/Fox: yes I do I'm the author. And I only did that because you were aggravating me all day.

Amiri: How untrue.

Excel/Fox: While I take care of the okami the next chapter. "Welcome to the Brotherhood." Ready? Go!

Kawaii: Oh yes and someone please reach Silver Fox! He should be around Striking Falcon. Excel: needs lessons on how to be a Fox when Fox is not in control. Thank you.

Everyone: Buh bye!
