HI! It's been a week since I updated! So sorry for the wait guys! Thank you plenty for the reviews Sakurablossomskxk: Yep you're right, funny is coming! Kei-Ookami.kara.mori, Hiei's cute girl, Shippo77379, coolmarauders and Kiwi-San! You are wonderful! Do I seem hyper today? I thought so. Anyways, another week of exams gone, I had to sit a statistics exam that lasted 4 HOURS! All these pie charts and frecuency tables…shudder. I aced my English exam though. Another reason as to why I haven't updated is that I'm currently working on another fanfic, a romance, but I'm only posting it when this story is finished. And you all will be happy to know that I always finish what I start.
Disclaimer: Please don't make me kill you. You already know the answer.
Chapter 12: Tippytoes Dance Academy
Kagome had spent almost an hour desperately scrubbing the foul substance off Kikyo's clothes and Inuyasha watched anxiously but not wanting to help. The minibus driver was relieved to find his vehicle unsoiled and revved up the engine to get to the Academy's private carpark. Before he drove off he waved goodbye to Kagome.
"Goodbye miss. Oh, and good luck with the freak parade! Those are some great costumes!" and with that he made off.
Everyone arched an eyebrow thinking… freak parade?...costumes?
Kagome waved goodbye and looked at them nervously "Hehehe what a funny man…hehehe. Ahem" She resumed scrubbing.
"There! That's the last of it off!" Kagome said triumphantly and threw the used tissues into the nearest bin. Everyone stared at the huge building in front of them. There were vast stairs leading up to a great entrance. Above the entrance was the sign which read,
'TIPPYTOES DANCE ACADEMY'
Naraku was sitting on one of the stairs clutching his stomach and groaning pathetically. He looked green.
Kagome was about to put a foot on the first step when she heard Kikyo whine;
"But I still smell disgusting!"
Kagome sighed. "I'm sorry, but there's really nothing I can do at the moment."
To her surprise Kikyo shrugged and said "Oh well, I was getting a bit sweaty in these clothes anyway." She screwed up her face in concentration and soon, clean priestess robes materialized on her body. She sighed happily and stretched.
"Aaaaah! That's much better!"
Kagome's eye twitched. "You could have done that when this whole time I 've been scrubbing that, that sick off you like crazy?" she cried.
Kikyo looked at her uncaringly,
"Yeah…why?" she replied.
"Grrrrrrrr! I…oh forget it!" Kagome snapped and flounced up the stairs. "C'mon Inuyasha!" she said grabbing his arm tightly.
Inuyasha turned in time to see Kikyo grin evilly. He also noticed that Kagome was gripping his arm forcefully, and it hurt.
"Ow Kagome! Why are you doin' that?" He yelled. But after receiving nothing more than a glare, he decided to leave it.
They all made their way up the stone steps and through the front doors. They all 'oooh'ed and 'aaah'ed when they entered a large hall with a front desk and many cushioned seats. They walked to the middle of the hall and chattered excitedly all the while. Kagome told them all to stay put and she made over to the receptionist. The receptionist was on the phone.
"Ahem,"
The receptionist didn't look up. Kagome tried again.
"AHEM!" the receptionist looked up, sighed and hung up.
"Nnnnyeeees?" She asked with obvious annoyance.
"Um…hello, er, I'm Kagome Higurashi, I signed myself up along with a few others…is Mr. Tippytoes around so that I may speak to him?" Kagome asked timidly. The receptionist looked bored.
"eeeeeeno, you cannot speak to him at this very moment, Mr Tippytoes is extremely busy right now-" the receptionist began.
"Did thomeone thay my name?" Lisped a voice coming from behind Kagome.
Kagome, and the rest of the group that accompanied her, turned to see a man skip over to them. He was wearing an outrageously pink leotard, around his waist an orange sash was tied, that matched the headband around his blond head and he wore purple legwarmers. He put a hand on his hip and with the other he gestured in a girly fashion.
"Oh helloooo there! I'm Mithter Tippytoeth and thith ith my academy, you are all very welcome!" He said in an excited way.
Kagome sweatdropped. "You're…Mr Tippytoes?"
"Why of courth!"
Kouga stared at the girl-man with a disbelieving look on his face, Inuyasha did the same. Ayame giggled at the way he was dressed and if Naraku hadn't have been feeling so sick he would have been rolling around in a laughing fit. Shippou sat on Miroku's shoulder and was almost crying with laughter. Hakudoushi and Kanna sniggered into their hands and even Kagura was finding as hard to keep herself from chuckling. Kikyo had to float away a bit because she couldn't stop giggling and Miroku and Sango tittered away. Sesshoumaru, on the other hand, remained as cold and as silent as ever.
Mr Tippytoes noticed this strong, silent, handsome man at once and immediately dashed to his side.
Sesshoumaru looked down to his right and saw the ridiculously dressed…er…man, staring back at him, eyes twinkling. Kagura stared in disbelief, he's a guy, and he's interested in…Sesshoumaru! Okay that's weird. I'll bet Sesshoumaru won't take it.
"Well hello there…my, aren't you a handthome fellow! I bet you have really toned muthleth underneath thothe clotheth!" Mr Tippytoes lifted his hand and reached up to stroke Sesshoumaru's arm. Sesshoumaru's claw whipped up suddenly and grabbed the guy's arm. His cold eyes glared at the impudent mortal.
"Touch me…and die." He said with a warning tone.
Mr Tippytoes giggled nervously, "Oooh, quite the bad tempered one aren't ya!"
But upon seeing that Sesshoumaru was being serious he escaped from his clutches and hid behind Kagome.
"What the-" Kagome began, turning to see him. Mr Tippytoes watched Sesshoumaru carefully from behind Kagome's shoulder.
"He'th mean!" He complained pointing. Kagome didn't know what to say.
Naraku groaned. The nausea hadn't left him yet. He looked up and saw Mr Tippytoes staring at him excitedly. What the hell is that weirdo staring at? Naraku thought to himself. The weirdo stepped out from behind Kagome and did the catwalk all the way to where Naraku stood. He put his hand on his hip.
"Oh my God, you're tho cute! And I abtholutely love thothe colour combinationth! Purple, blue and black, hey, you've got great fashion thenthe!" he said gesturing elatedly.
Naraku wasn't in the mood for this. "I'm warning you, if you get that strange self of yours any closer I will be forced to absorb it!" he burped and moaned, "Or throw up on it at least." He mumbled.
Mr Tippytoes edged away from the evil hanyou and moved on to the next cutie. Kouga.
But before he even got there Ayame stepped in front of the man of her dreams and snarled at the dance teacher. Mr Tippytoes didn't really want to deal with a hostile female, it wasn't really his thing.
Miroku found the whole situation hilarious and his stomach hurt from laughing so much. Well, actually it hurt from the effort of holding it in, a trained monk such as himself couldn't really burst out laughing. He suddenly found himself face to face with a grinning Mr Tippytoes. He swallowed nervously.
"Hey, I like you! And your shiny thtick!" Mr Tippytoes said gleefully.
Miroku was feeling very uncomfortable, well, as uncomfortable as a pervert can get. Sango was almost giggling hysterically but felt sorry for the poor monk. She grabbed Mr Tippytoes by his leotard and hissed,
"Get away from my monk!"
Mr Tippytoes squealed like a girl and hid behind Kohaku.
"Don't touch my brother either!"
Another squeal and he jumped behind the reception desk.
Sango dusted herself and turned to face an awed Miroku. "What?" She asked.
"You, you said I was your mon-" Miroku said, his eyes wide. Sango went tomato red and hurriedly interrupted him,
"Oh be quiet! I only said it to protect him from you, who knows what a pervert like you can do!" She cried.
Kagome had just about enough. "Okay can we get down to what we came here for?" she screamed.
Mr Tippytoes head popped up from behind the front desk. "You're abtholutely right!" He sauntered out from behind it and in his hands he held a clipboard with a list of their names. He lifted a page up and read the one under it. "Yeth, now Kagome and I dithcuthed thith beforehand, the competition will be divided in different muthic typeth and each competitor and hith danthing partner mutht-"
"WHAAAAAAAAT? DANCING PARTNERS? YOU MEAN WE HAVE TO DANCE WITH SOMEONE?" Inuyasha roared.
Mr Tippytoes nodded, "Thath what it thayth in the ruleth, Kagome mtht have mentioned it at thome point. I remember going over the pairingth with her when she came a week ago."
Inuyasha glared at Kagome. "You seem to have…forgotten… to bring up that important point," His eye twitched uncontrollably, "didn't you Kagome?" he said dangerously.
"Er…hehehe… must have slipped my mind!" Kagome said uneasily.
"Well, anyway, you all know now tho I'm jutht going to read out everyoneth nameth and who they have to danth with."
Everyone was wishing hard, hoping they would be paired up with the one they wanted. Mr Tippytoes cleared his throat and took a deep breath.
A/N: HAHAHAHA I LEFT IT AT A CLIFFY! Sorry. Phew! What a long chapter! Isn't mr Tippytoes gay? I love playing around with the characters! I hope you guys liked it and keep the reviews coming in, you don't know how much I appreciate them! The Mighty Kyuuketsuki san leaves now.
