Chapter Three: The familiar person
Kagome looked skeptically at the man in drag. She was totally and completely F-R-E-A-K-E-D O-U-T. Never before had she seen a more feminine man. Sesshy-chan smiled and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Now listen, erm…." he paused.
"Kagome."
"Right, Kagome, we absolutely must find an outfit for you if you are going to be in the show."
Kagome laughed nervously. "Uh I'm sorry, er, Sesshy-chan, I really don't want to dress in drag. I mean I really don't. I don't want to be in the show either."
Sesshy-chan's eyes narrowed. "Oh yes, I see then." he said. He took his hand off her shoulder.
She shifted on her feet. Oh god, I hope I didn't make him angry. "Is there anything else I could do?"
He crossed his arms, his foot tapping on the ground in thought. "Miroku we don't have anyone as our manager yet do we?"
"Uh, no sir. Not as of yet." He replied.
"Good," the Queen smiled, "that will be your job."
Me? She thought. A manager of a group of undercover drag queens? "W-wait a second," Kagome stammered just as Sesshy-chan was about to leave. "What am I supposed to do?"
He sighed impatiently. "Gods, Cowgome. All-"
"It's Kagome."
"Whatever. All you have to do is make sure everything flows smoothly," he explained, very vaguely. When she gave him a blank look he sighed again. "You know, make sure everyone is wearing the right costume, everything is in place and in order."
"Why me?" she asked.
"Why not? You seem like a responsible girl. Besides," he paused, "you are the first person to actually come here willingly."
She glared at Kouga and Miroku who were whistling innocently. Willingly my ass, she thought.
"Well since you are here," the Queen clasped his hands together, "we should really get to work."
Two weeks later, an hour before showtime
Kagome had become accustomed to life in the undercover factory with the transvestites. She had such fun with all of them and spent time watching them rehearse and helped out in as many ways she could. She quickly befriended Miroku and Kouga and was surprised such tough looking guys actually took part in the show and dressed like girls (A/N: Yeah, imagine Miroku and Kouga in drag. That would be so funny!). Miroku though wasn't gay, and neither was Kouga. Miroku's girlfriend, Sango, would actually come in and help out with everything too. Kouga's girlfriend, Ayame, was a clothing designer and helped design most of the outfits for the show. Kagome was also surprised at how totally fine they were with their boyfriend's choice of lifestyle. She would be creeped out if she had a boyfriend who wore more makeup than herself.
Kagome invited her mother and little brother to the show. Sometime over the last two weeks she had gone home and told her mother where she had been. She told her she got a summer job at a "cheese" factory, so as to not blow the cover of the transvestites. Her mother was, believe it or not, ok with it saying, "It's a good thing you're off your lazy ass doing something productive instead of worshipping your shitty Inuyasha shrine."
Right now, Kagome was in the dressing room, having nothing much to do, and decided to watch everyone get their costumes on and apply their makeup. And let me tell you, some of the guys….. Ain't too pretty. But the most beautiful one of all had to be the Queen, no doubt about it. He sat in front of a vanity mirror carefully putting eyeliner on his bottom eyelid. She sighed in admiration.
"I wish I was as pretty as you, Sesshy-chan," she said, but quickly smacked herself at the absurdity of what just came out of her mouth. Nice, she thought.
The Queen laughed and looked at her reflection in the mirror. "I'll take that as a compliment."
"Heh heheh," she laughed nervously. Gosh, I never know what to say around him, she thought. Kouga walked up next to her and slapped her on the back.
"How do I look Kagome?" he asked. He was wearing a curly brown wig, a pink dress with a floral design at the hem, and pink sunglasses over his eyes.
"Uhh, very pretty!"
"Really?" he got all sparkly eyed.
"Mmmhmm!" Kagome noticed Miroku groping Sango's butt as she was about to go into the stage and she smacked him. Kagome giggled. "I don't think Miroku will give up his perverted ways anytime soon."
Kouga laughed, also witnessing this scene. "Most likely not."
Miroku walked up to them rubbing his sore cheek. "You'd think since we are together she wouldn't mind me doing that," he said.
Kouga shook his head. "Miroku, Miroku, Miroku." Kagome looked him up and down. He was wearing black skirt and a real flashy blouse and a silver choker. And, of course, he had on a blonde wig.
"Wow you look great Miroku!" she smiled.
"Well, obviously," he said in a real girly voice while playing with his hair. Sesshy-chan stood up from his chair and announced,
"Okay everyone! Thirty minutes till show time!" He smiled at Kagome. "Make sure everything is set up onstage, okay?"
She blushed lightly. "Y-yes, Sesshy-chan." Just as she was about to make her way to the stage door she tripped over a wire and fell flat on her face. Grrrreeeeaat, I just thoroughly embarrassed myself, she thought as Kouga and Miroku rushed over to her.
"Are you alright Kagome?" They both asked trying to hold back the snickers that threatened to burst from their glossed mouths.
She grumbled, "Yea whatever," and went to the stage where Sango was setting up props and whatnot.
Twenty-nine and a half minutes later
Kagome was backstage. The curtains were down. Everyone was dressed in their drag costumes and were ready for the performance. She was frantically checking everything off her checklist. The crowd had grown to an impressive amount, more than 500 people. It was exciting really. Being a part of something so important to her and the transvestites, which will most likely make them known by a lot of people. Ohhhhh she could hardly wait to see everyone in the audience's reactions!
Finally, after about six minutes, the curtains go up and Sesshy-chan goes out to introduce the performing drag queens for this segment. She smiled at Miroku as he walked out onstage along with a few other cross dressers and wished him luck.
As the transvestites lip synch and dance to crappy 80's disco music, Kagome looked out to the audience observing their faces and searching for her mother and brother. But as she was doing so, she spots a VERY familiar face, anyone with an eyeball would recognize this person. Her heart started beating like it was on fire, her face heated up and she feels a nosebleed coming on. OH MY GOD, she thought wildly, I am going to die here and now if I don't go over to him! But wait…….. Why would he be here? She decided it would be weird to just go over to him now, so she'd have to wait until after the show.
After an agonizing two hours of just watching that person without meeting him, the show was over. Everyone clapped, cheered even. They must have done a good job, she thought and the performers left the stage laughing and smiling. Now's my chance.
Kagome exited backstage and ran over to where she had seen her idol, and if you hadn't already guessed who this is you are an idiot. When she spotted him, she rushed over to him like a madwoman, arms flailing about her head, only to be shoved to the floor by one of his massive bodyguards.
Inuyasha Takahashi noticed this and said angrily to his bodyguard, "Hey you shouldn't do that to a lady!" He went over to Kagome who was sitting on the dirty, nasty floor, her eyes wide with anticipation. He offered his hand. "Are you alright, miss?"
She shakily accepted his proffered hand, staring at it like it was the most sacred thing in the universe and said, "Th-thanks," and couldn't believe she had just stuttered. She recalled her shrines of him at home. "You are Inuyasha Takahashi? Well duh, you are. Ahhh, I'm so stupid." She decided to just shut up.
"Don't worry, a lot of people get like this around me. I'm used to it." He grinned.
"So why are you here?" She asked quickly sniffing the air to see if her breath stunk. Whew, thank God I remembered to brush my teeth. "I would never had expected to see you here."
Inuyasha laughed. "Yeah, I never would have come, but I was invited by my brother. You know Sesshomaru?"
Kagome looked up in thought. "Sesshomaru ………………………………... ... ... Oh do you mean Sesshy-chan?"
"Sesshy-chan? WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Is that what he's called?"
A dark figure, whose aura seemed to be alit with flames, loomed up behind Inuyasha. "Little brother, I advise you not to laugh at my stage name if you wish to live to see tomorrow."
Inuyasha 'eeped' and jumped ten feet into the air. "Oh hey, Sesshomaru don't scare me like that!" he breathed out squeezing his shirt.
Sesshomaru's eye twitched. "Don't call me that."
"Your name is Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked.
He grabbed his head in frustration. "DON'T EVER CALL ME THAT HORRENDOUS NAME!"
She winced. "God, sorry!"
"Ever since I was a little boy, I always hated that name. Sesshomaru, Sesshomaru, I wanted do die for all those time kids butchered my name. Seshumaro, sesshomalu, sessyblablahBLAH! AHHHHHHH!" He ran away screaming and eventually right into a wall and he passed out.
Inuyasha and Kagome stood there watching the Queen's limp body twitching on the floor. Inuyasha turned to her. "Okay, so where were we?"
"Why you came here."
"Oh yeah. What exactly is your part in the show?"
"Actually, I did a lot of things, along with being a manager, I helped design the set."
"Oh really? Very creative, the set."
They were silent for a few minutes.
"Well to tell you the truth," Inuyasha began. "I've always been a little interested in set designing. Tim Burton has asked me to do some set design in his next movie as well as star in it. I was kind of hesitant at first to take that job. It seems a little much but I would like to see how it's done. Maybe you could show me what it's all about?"
Kagome could not believe he was asking her, of all the set designers in the world, to do this. "Um, sure. I would love to!"
She took his arm and started chattering away, leaving the groaning Sesshomaru on the floor to be stepped on.
End of Chapter three
A/N: Okay, I couldn't really think of any Inuyasha characters without it being REALLY weird later on in the story so I just said Tim Burton. I was hoping to make my story more random and weird but it always ends up sounding too serious for my taste, so I guess it'll have to be random at random moments instead of all the time XP. Please review. Oh and if it's not too much to ask, could people read johnnyfan123's story, it's in my favorites. She is in desperste need of reviews!
