CONFESSIONS OF A BACK UP DANCER. (KAGOME STYLE)
INTRO

RING!!!!!!!!!!

"AH!! WHERE'S THE FIRE?!?!?!?"

THUMP...

"God damn alarms....," I said sleepily.

"Kagome you're going to be late for school!" my mom yelled.

"Surprise, Surprise," I muttered to myself.

"Just kidding, but hurry up! Miroku called and he'll be here any minute!" my mom yelled back at me.

"WHAT! Why would he be coming here?" I asked myself.

Forgetting what she just said, I had a quick shower. After brushing my teeth and what-not, I opened ,my walk-in closet and examined the mountains of clothing that I had stored in there. After about five minutes, I had decided on some bright-orange low-rise pants, and a matching orange top that was quite revealing. It was on of those ones that you don't wear a bra with or it'll ruin it, and it was a halter. But it wasn't tight, I can't explain it but it had excess material hanging off of the top around the chest area, (the revealing part) and there was a noticeable band that goes along under your boobs keeping them from being non-push-upy. So in right now.

Maybe today was the day he'd notice me...then again I said that to myself everyday, and everyday I'd wear something outrageous, but it just doesn't seem to be enough.sigh

KNOCK KNOCK

There was murmuring downstairs and then a tap on my bedroom door.

"Come in!" I told whoever it was (but I had an idea).

"Ready to go?" Miroku asked me (I was right, it was him). "Oooo, nice ensemble."

"Thanks and no, I haven't even done my hair yet! Why did you decide to get me any ways?"

"Well I was in the neighborhood, and thought 'hey, why not pick up my best friend?' " He watched as I put a bit of mousse in my hair and sprayed it with hair spray to give it the final touches.

"Yea, right. Since when are you my best friend? And every time you pick me up to go to school it's, 'by the way...'" I told him. I had now moved on to doing my make up.

"Damn. Sure I'm your best friend...whatever, hurry up and maybe I'll ask you in the car. By the way..." he started but I stopped him there.

"Let me guess..." this time he stopped me.

"No, I was just gonna say that you look stunning today, as always. You don't even need to put eye liner on."

Okay, so it wasn't what I expected him to say, but please, can't he tell the difference between 'mascara' and 'eye-liner'?

"It's mascara," I corrected him. "And thanks, but I totally didn't put any on yesterday, and my eyelashes didn't curl like I wanted them to."

"Uh, just to tell you, us guys don't notice eyelashes...(I turned around to look at him)Whoa. Okay then, there IS a difference but come on let's go!"

I grabbed a hair elastic and walked over to Miroku. I grabbed the little strand or hair hanging at the back of his head and tied it up.
"Alright, I just have to grab my purse!"

I re-entered my closet and instantly found my orange black clutch. Then I grabbed my make-up case and p.e. strip, stuffed them in my back pack and headed over to get my shoes.

Miroku came and stood beside me.

"It still amazes me how many pairs of...everything you have..." he stared in awe at the amount of shoes I had covering one wall of my closet."

"Me too." I said. And it was true, I don't know why but I have this thing with money. I can't seem to NOT spend it.

I finally picked some shiny black slip-on heels.

"Good choice." Miroku stated, not actually looking at the shoes.

HONK

"COMING!" Miroku shouted.

"What the hell? Who's with you?"

"Inuyasha."

"Doesn't he have his own car?"

"Yea, but at school he decided to come with me to pick you up."

"Right."

We headed downstairs and into the kitchen where I grabbed a Special K bar. Great for on the go.

"See ya, mom"

"Bye sweetie! Hope you have fun at school!" I love my mom, she's so clueless.

"Since when is school fun?" I responded.

"Ha ha, what a kidder!" Miroku fake laughed pointing at me. "See you later ma'am," he said as I closed the back door.

"You're such a suck up, you know that?" I asked him.

"Yea, but only so that you can hang out with me. You know how your mom is about guys..."

"We've known each other since I was born..." (He's older so we've known each other all our lives).

"Oh, so I suppose you'd rather your mom NOT let you drive with me?"
"God, what took you guys so long?" Inuyasha grumpily asked us as Miroku let me into his car before getting in himself.

Miroku had a black convertible Mercedes Benz, that I loved to death.

"Kagome had to put eye-liner on," Miroku responded

"Mascara. And it didn't take that long, I mean if you guys would've just told me you were coming.." I trailed off.

"That's right we needed to ask you something." Miroku said.

"We? It was your idea!" Inuyasha reminded him.

"Well, whatever. Kagome we...I, was wondering if you'd dance in our next video?"

Miroku and Inuyasha were famous singers and I'm sometimes a back-up dancer for Miroku, since I haven't been lucky enough to be famous myself.

"What do you mean for both of you?" I asked. "Are you guys doing a new song together?"

"Yea, we're doing 'I like That'"

I almost spat out my special K.

"HAHAHA!" I started laughing histerically! (Oh, I also had this thing with laughing, once I start, I can't stop).

"What the hell's so funny?" Inuyasha glared at me, but started laughing himself.

That made me stop in an instant. Thank God, who knows how long I would've been laughing for!

"What?" I asked.

"You just spat something on your shirt, HA HA!"

'God what a jerk,' I thought trying to find out where the little piece of 'something' went.

"Where?" I asked, looking under the bands of my top.

"No, it's in deeper..." his voice trailed off, making me look up, only to find him staring at my chest. (Yea, he's a creeper, just like Miroku!)

"God, just for that I'm not gonna dance for you guys," I glared at Inuyasha, but then stopped, I was blushing hard core, and I didn't think my blush was very intimidating. (I also have a thing with blushing...my cheeks don't cool down for at least 10 minutes).

Miroku punched Inuyasha in the arm, "You ruin everything, jeez. Kagome you HAVE to dance, you're the only one who will know how to do the dance moves we've choreographed!"

(Okay I know what you guys are thinking. 'THEY CHOREOGRAPH?!' but hey, work with me okay!)

"What about Sango?" I asked crossing my arms and raising my right eyebrow.

(Yes Sango dances too, and is my best friend).

"That's what I said," Inuyasha said looking back at me. "Glad to see we actually agree on something!"

I rolled my eyes at that.

"We're gonna need both of you," Miroku said.

"You won't be needing JUST two dancers though," I remarked.

"I know, that's been taken care of, but we need two MAIN ones. That's where you guys come in." Miroku winked at me from his rearview mirror.

"If Sango's gonna do it then I guess I'm in, but ONLY if she wants to, got it?"

We had finally pulled into the school parking lot, and Miroku pulled into his parking spot. (okay it's not HIS, but everyone knows better than to park in that spot...Same with Inuyasha's spot. And mine...and Sango's...) We got out of the car and started heading into the school.

"She already agreed to do it so I guess you're in!"

"Oh, that's depressing," I tried to act happy, I really did...(Okay, so I lied.)

"Oh, don't worry, I'm not too excited about this either," Inuyasha said putting his arm around my neck. "Nice outfit by the way."

"Yea, whatever..." I pushed his arm off of me. "Hey, look over there, isn't that your guys' posse? I pointed.

"I'm not too sure, I can't tell, are they behind that group of girls...shit, RUN!" Miroku grabbed Inuyasha and they were off.

'It worked everytime.' I smirked to myself. I pushed open the front doors into the school, only to find the person I was dreaded the most.

"Hello beautiful, and might I say, you're looking magnificant today, as always. Trying to impress somebody are we? Well it's working!"

"Good morning to you too, Kouga. And no I'm not trying to impress anyone." I lied. (What? I'm allowed to lie right?)

Kouga put his arm around my waist and dragged me along with him.

"Don't be so modest! I know you have feelings for me. EVERYBODY knows, it's a matter of time before you come open to me."

"Uh..." I was at a loss of words, where did this guy come off saying stuff like that?

"See, you're blushing!"

'Shit.' I guess the blush from before hadn't rubbed off yet, which made my face go even more pink.

"No I'm not, I'm just...mad." I've gotta stop lying to the guy.

"WHAT?! Who's made you mad?! I'll get 'em for you! You just tell me who's done it, and I'll pound 'em into the ground for you. Come on now, don't be shy!"

Well at least he took his arm off of me, but now his hands are on my shoulders. At this point I was trying to decide if I should tell him who made me mad...Inuyasha, or Miroku? When all of a sudden, out of no where, un-expectedly, it all happend so quickly, k, are you ready for it?

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER!"

Kouga and I froze and looked over to see Sango running towards both of us.

Yea, I expected Inuyasha to come to my rescue, but she'll have to do.

"What do you mean?" Kouga asked dumbstuck. "Don't tell me you're jealous! There's plenty of me to go around!"

He did NOT just say that...

"Well, what I meant was, would you mind walking with me...to the ...library?" Sango was obviously making this up as she was going.

But I didn't understand what she was doing...

"I'd be glad to!" Kouga said, a bit too quickly. "So, what kind of book are you looking for?" he asked, walking away with his arm around Sango.

"Uhm...I'm not sure yet..." Sango quickly looked back at me and mouthed 'you owe me'.

True true. Sango knows how annoying Kouga can be, but I really needed to talk to her right now. I guess I'll just catch her in 2nd block.

I decided that I'd just go to my locker since I didn't know where Miroku and Inuyasha had run off to. I chuckled to myself.

That's when I saw him, and I stopped right in the middle of the staircase. It was Hojo. Okay, I'm not shy by default, but around him I'm a mess.

He was at the bottom of the staircase, talking to someone. I recognized him as Inuyasha, but there was someone walking up to them. Damn. It was Kikyo.

Long story short: we don't like each other and she tends to make my life a living hell, so I'm a bitch right back. I mean just because she's going out with Inuyasha and she has a record deal and LOTS of money, doesn't mean she's better than me! It just means, she's noticed more...but it's not fair because we look the same, well we don't I mean, she has a bit of baby fat on her cheeks, (but if you HAD to say it, i'd say that SHE was a less hot version of ME) and evil took a human form in her. She may seem like your typical, selfish, back-stabbing, bitch-face, ho-bag, but she's so much more. She was a grotsky little biotch.

By now Inuyasha was about to turn around and Kikyo was approaching Hojo. Inuyasha hadn't seen her. How DARE she talk to him! Well he wasn't exactly mine, but still, it hurt. I started descending the stairs and was about to yell out to Inuyasha, when some jerk decides to run blindlessly into me.

I somehow lost my footing and THANK GOD that I was near the bottom of the stairs, cuz I started to fall. I closed my eyes as I landed on the cold hard floor beneath me.

"Well there's MY life story..." I started mumbling as someone helped me up. It was Inuyasha.

"God, you're such a clutz," he chuckled at me as I started brushing off the dust on my clothing.

"Nothing get's past you does it?" I responded.

"Well I like to think of it as...HEY!" oops I guess I shouldn't have said that, I mean I could practically see a vein sticking out of Inuyasha's forehead.

"Take it easy there!" I told him as we walked away. We walked a few steps until we were at my locker. "Why doesn't he ever talk to me?" I asked glancing at Hojo.

"Maybe 'cuz he's an airhead and doesn't notice anything unless it starts talking to them. Literally."

"What? What do you mean?"

"Take a look right now he's talking to... omg, DON'T look, it's Kikyo!" he whispered as he turned his back on the two.

"Wow, and here I thought you guys were going out...?" I stated, sticking my back pack in my locker and grabbing my necessities for math class.

"We are, but she's so annoying, she clings onto me like I'm a teddy bear or something. And I know there's good and bad in everybody, but she's WAY too up-front about it. I think it's about time I called it quits with her, I even wrote a song about it..." He grabbed my lock and locked my locker up with it and we started walking in Hojo and Kikyo's direction.

"Really? Are you gonna do it right now? Cuz while you're at it, maybe I could talk to Hojo."

"No, I can't break up with her, she'd just think I'm kidding. I gotta get her to dump me."

"HA. How're you gonna pull that one?"

"Uhm, I've gotta find someone to play along with me, then she'll get jealous."

"So, you're gonna cheat on her? I LOVE the idea." I thought of all the nasty things I could spread around about her...

"Then kiss me."

I was pretty sure I cleaned my ears out today, but just to be sure that maybe I heard wrong I asked him to repeat what he just said.

"Say WHAT?"

"No, not say, KISS."

"Are you sure I was the one who fell down the stairs, or was that you, cuz I think you bumped your head on the way down." We were now closing in on the two as they looked up and saw us passing them.

"It's now or never," I heard him say, and as I was about to say 'how about never' he pushed me up against a locker and pressed his lips against mine!

'What the hell was he thinking?! I didn't like him, he didn't like me, we were just FRIENDS, why couldn't he have waited until we found Sango to do this?! ooo...he IS a good kisser, maybe I should just kiss him back...'

But before I had a chance to do so, there was a shriek coming from Kikyo's direction.

"INUYASHA! IS THIS SOME KIND OF SICK JOKE!?" she spat.

He took his lips off of mine, and turned his head, "No, actually, it's NOT a joke." Then he turned his head back at me. I was SO jumpy at this point, that I was gonna slap Inuyasha. Then Kikyo did it for me.

"YOU BETTER NOT BE BREAKING UP WITH ME FOR HER ! SHE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE ME ! AND SHE WON'T MAKE YOU HAPPY!"

I wasn't just gonna stand there with my lips looking like they were numb, so I pushed Inuyasha off of me and screamed back, "EXCUSE ME?! I SO DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU, YOU HAVE FAT ON YOUR FACE! (everyone had gathered around us by now and started laughing at the remark.) And no WONDER he's leaving you! You go around flirting with other guys! And you can't dance, so no WONDER he hasn't asked you to dance for him!"

Kikyo was definitely shocked at this statement. "Pardon me, but I happen to be FLAWLESS," she said as she flipped her hair back and a couple pieces of her extensions fell out.

"She even has fake hair!" someone shouted.

"You've only been going out with me for your social status, and I'm sick of it! I could find someone WAY better to go out with who actually CARES about me!" Inuyasha shouted out of no where.

"But why HER." Kikyo was nearly in tears by now.

"Well for one..." he looked over at me only to find that I wasn't standing there anymore.

"This can't be happening. This can't be happening! Why did he kiss me? WHY!? I've liked him ever since the 8th grade, but I never actually believed myself that I did, and now this only confirms things! What do I do!?"

I had found Sango in the library, Kouga no where in sight.

"Uhm, just calm down. I'll talk to him in my next class alright? There's nothing to worry about. It'll all pass over by lunch time."

I sure hope she's right...

"So where'd Kouga go?" I asked changing the subject.

"Oh, Miroku saw him with his arm around me and practically dragged him outside, so I'm gonna go ahead and say that I think they're duking it out outside," she said.

RINGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!

"UGH....." we both slurred in unison.

"Well I guess I'll meet you in the cafeteria at lunch, Sango."

"Alright, and don't worry about it i'll get it all staightened out alright?"

"Mhm....c ya."

And off I went to math class. Luckily Hojo was in that class, oh wait, he saw the whole thing.

Wow, I'm finally done. This was just the intro chapter so don't worry, all the dancing and such will be starting in the next chapter.

Please review so that I know if you guys have something that you wanna see happen or not happen but i'm not making any promises!
