Midnight Dance

Disclaimer: lalalala...

LAST TIME:

"Why are you here, Sosuke?" Sesshoumaru questioned.

"I was coming to inform you of an intruder, who is standing in front of you." Sosuke informed.

Chapter 4: Kagome, the Entertainer

"I am not an intruder! I am a G-U-E-S-T!!!" Kagome responded.

"Why you little b-" The newly found guard started.

"Stop this childish bickering. Sosuke go tell the others a guest has arrived, I will not have this incident happen again. Dismissed." Sesshoumaru commanded firmly.

Sesshoumaru motioned Kagome to sit, but when his back was turned she stuck out her tongue to Sosuke who was fuming.

Breakfast was then serves as soon as they sat.

'Talk about good service.' Kagome thought as she thanked the surprised servant.

Knowing her manners, she waited Sesshoumaru to start eating before she did. Then there was silence.

"You will be performing at a party I am hoisting." Sesshoumaru said.

"When?"

"Two weeks. Royal guests will be arriving tomorrow then there will be an opening ceremony then the tournament will begin. You will perform at the closing ceremony." Sesshoumaru explained.

"Tournament?" Kagome inquired.

"Yes, a tournament. Do you need a definition?" Sesshoumaru mocked.

"No," Kagome said glaring, "what kind of tournament?"

"None of your concern," Kagome frowned." You will have the honor of being the last performer."

"There are more entertainers?"

"Yes, six in total. Three will be performing at the opening and there will three for the closing, you being the last. Any more questions?"

Without waiting for her to answer, the lord stood up and walked towards the door and opened it. Then he stopped and turned around.

"Did you like the refreshing shower this morning?" Sesshoumaru questioned as he closed the door. The only thing he heard was "ARGH!"

Kagome stayed in her room planning for her performance after breakfast. When lunch came a servant helped Kagome to the informal dinning room where she will be eating with the other performers.

The young miko was last to arrive, but that didn't stop the other ladies from eating.

There were five youkai women, making Kagome the only human, each wearing expensive, high-class Kimono and faces painted like a doll. 'I guess I'm underdress.' Kagome thought as she sat down at the end of the table.

"Hello, I am Ceres, Aya. Nice to meet you." The women beside Kagome introduced.

The woman looked around twenty in human years. She had orange shoulder-length hair with two long bangs framing her face. Aya had two bright orange eyes that can shine out the sun.

"Higuashi, Kagome." Kagome answered.

"When did you arrive at the mansion?" Aya asked.

"Just last night. When did you arrive?"

"Five days ago, along with the others."

"When do you perform?"

"Second last at the ending ceremony. You?"

"Very last."

"REALLY? You must be favored!"

"No." Kagome answered shyly.

At this point the other women started to pay attention to Kagome.

"Where were you this morning?" One woman bluntly asked.

"Oh me? I was eating breakfast with Sesshoumaru." Kagome answered innocently.

Then whispers broke out. Four of the women were huddle together whispering rudely about Kagome. Kagome can feel their glares though out the whole meal.

"Don't worry about them." Aya said as she caught up with Kagome leaving the dinning room.

"Why is it such a big deal?" Kagome questioned.

Aya explained that Sesshoumaru never ate with the performers let alone meeting them. He didn't even choose the entertainers. "Did he choose you?"

"Oh me. Uhhh...yah." Kagome answered shyly.

"WOW. You are special, hand-picked by Lord Sesshoumaru himself."

"Eto...Yes, I guess." Kagome began to feel uncomfortable having an admirer. "Well...I got to go. Bye." She rushed away to her room.

The bored miko had hours to waste. She had nothing to do; she just spent the last couple of hours planning her performance and wanted to go outside. However, she did want to alter anyone that she was leaving the castle, in fear her so-called guard will hunt her down and bring her back.

So she decided to leave herself. She jumped the wall and broke though the barriers silently. The sun was still out as she walked towards the closest market.
