"Are they good?"
"I'm sure they are." Miroku smirked. Awaiting the rampage.
"You hired dancers without knowing if they can dance? What the hell kind of interview did you have? I swear Miroku if they end up pregnant in like a month- you are so fired again." Inuyasha ranted. They were seated in their usual VIP section of the club. Inuyasha's club.
"Relax- I'm positive they can dance, Inuyasha. Have a little faith in my impressions."
"You're basing this on an impression? Of what? Their looks- I don't give a shit if they look good!-"
"No, stupid. Not even I'm that shallow unless it had to do with the wait staff. Nope, I just had to take a look at their resume." Miroku smiled widely.
"Were they Rockettes?"
"Better?"
"What can possibly be better than that?"
"Oh just dancers who worked for Onigumo…" Miroku trailed off like it was nothing but Inuyasha was suddenly all in.
"No fucking way! You took his dancers?!" He was excited now.
"I didn't actually take them. They- well, she found us."
"She?"
"One of them- she calls herself their manager. I think she's here tonight, somewhere downstairs."
"So I'm paying dancers and a manager? Unbelievable."
"I thought you would if it meant sticking something in Onigumo's face."
"Fair enough" Inuyasha sat back in his lounge chair.
"They should be coming out soon." Miroku said.
"Where's my brother? Wasn't he supposed to be here tonight?"
"No idea. Kouga! Another round!" Miroku yelled over the railing to Kouga behind the bar. He gave a nod and they waited for their drinks. As well as for the new girls to take their places.
"We shouldn't have done this…" Kagome whined.
"Relax- it's fine."
"No it is not! We could be in serious shit for this, Sango!" Ayame hissed.
"If you two would just stop being vaginas, no we won't."
"This is like turf war shit, Sango and we just overstepped the boundaries- we hopped them."
"Shut up! I told you I had a plan to get us out and this was it. You all promised we were in this together, alright?!" Kagome and Ayame both looked like they had more to say but kept quiet. Rin was just watching the whole arguement go down.
"You guys go on in a few. Fighting won't up the mood, you know?" She looked at them.
"She's right" Kagome looked up. "We should be happy right? We'll be able to show our stuff. And I mean, these outfits are pretty cute" She offered a smile and it was contagious enough to affect the others.
The outfits were all pretty skimpy but what did you expect? They were club dancers. It was an odd club though. It was somewhere between your average nightclub and burlesque. Kagome loved it though. She could do everything here. Look cute in all kinds of outfits and dance. It was their first night out though. They were new hires. It was a quick deal too. One day they were at Onigumo's and the next week they were in rehearsal for this place. This place is called Sengoku.
Ironically, it's called that when there's a never ending war between this place and Onigumo's. Where the girls worked before. Which leads us to the part where they are slightly freaking out over coming out in their new job. Onigumo was nowhere near happy with their letters of resignation. OR rather, method of resignation. Especially Kagome's but there was nothing he could do about it. He didn't own them like he did his other dancers. They owed him nothing.
"Can I help you?" Rin opened the door to find a tall man with white hair looking down at her. He had a hard face with purple streaks on his cheeks and golden eyes. It was obvious that he was a demon. Had Rin not reminded herself she was supposed to be professional, she probably would have swooned harder than she already was. Silently, of course.
"You're a dancer?" He raised a groomed brow.
"Was but now I manage the new ones. Again, can I help you?" She crossed her arms in a defensive stance. The girls knew it too well.
"You manage our dancers yet you do not know me? Obviously Miroku is lacking in his skills on the job." He sighed.
"Our?" She mimicked.
"Takahashi Sesshomaru, a pleasure to meet a woman of business." He grabbed her hand and kissed the back. She pulled it away with a blush.
"Azuma Rin. I manage the three dancers behind me. Any particular reason you're here?" She crossed her arms again.
"The previous dancers were idiots. Never knew when to go where. I have a habit of preparing them seconds before so they knew what to do. It seems my services are no longer needed though. I wish you ladies luck. My brother and I shall watch you performance in or section-"
"your brother?" Rin interrupted.
"The owner, unfortunately." He bowed his head and left the room.
"So basically this dance is do or die?" Ayame spoke first.
"Your negativity is killing me right now, I swear." Sango rubbed her temples.
"guys! We're dancers and good ones at that. If all we have to do is make sure our dancing is good then we'll do better than good. We'll do amazing." Kagome smiled and pulled everyone in for a hug seconds before they had to go on.
The lights were set on stage only and the place got quiet. It went dark again until music picked up. One spotlight shone above Sango on the center stage platform. The music was slow and on the next hard beat a spotlight was placed on Ayame on a smaller platform above the crowd to the far left. The last shone upon Kagome who was a medium sized cage hanging to the right of the stage and above the crowd. The music finally picked up to dancing capability. The crowd cheered for the new dancers and went along with the music. The girls did their thing. Feeling themselves through the music, they had fun again. All the turf worries, bills, and relationship problems were out the window. There was just the music and a few staring eyes.
"See? I told you they could dance" Miroku smirked.
"As if you even knew, dumbass" Inuyasha punched his side. His eyes never leaving that cage. The moment that light hit her, Inuyasha had sat straight in his seat. She was beautiful. Long straight black her and brown eyes shrouded in dark make-up. The way she moved was so sensual and so personal. She could dance and she knew it. He wanted to see more of it, preferably in private times.
"They're good as hell- dibs on the cage girl" Kouga walked in with their drinks.
"You can't call dibs on my dancers!" Inuyasha hissed.
"Chill dude- you don't own them." Kouga looked at him before sitting down on another lounge chair.
"We kind of do" Sesshomaru walked in.
"So kind of you to finally show up, brother."
"Always a dream. I met the manager. Feisty little thing." Sesshomaru sat down and took Inuyasha's drink for himself. He just rolled his eyes and watched on the cage girl again.
"Damn, they're good.." He whispered.
"So do I still have a job?" Miroku turned around.
"If you could also get me her" Inuyasha pointed.
"The deal was good dancers. A date for you is almost impossible seeing as you're a dick well known." He smirked.
"Or just his dick is well known and no one wants it anymore" Kouga smirked and took Miroku's drink.
"Aren't you working? You shouldn't be drinking" Sesshomaru looked at him.
"Slow night." He shrugged.
"My ass. Get back downstairs before I fire you" Inuyasha barked.
"you wouldn't. Your mom loves me too much." Kouga smirked before heading downstairs.
"Unfortunately…" Inuyasha growled.
"I might want to be here every night after all" Miroku chuckled as he watched the girl dance on the main stage.
"So you might actually do your job?"
"I got you girls, didn't I? And good ones at that."
"But not that date" Inuyasha blurted.
"She's not your type."
"You don't even know which one!" He argued.
"Cage girl right?" Miorku sighed and Inuyasha froze. "She is so similar to Kikyo, of course I fucking knew."
"She is not!"
"Oh yea. I can really see a resemblance."
"You guys are fuckin assholes. She does not look like Kikyo."
"Is this relationship trauma, Inuyasha? Do you need to talk something out?" Miroku teased.
"Fuck off." Inuyasha shrugged him off and sat back in his chair again. He watched her for the rest of the night.
Note: I have a lot of this already written. It's just going through mild revision. I'm hoping to post something at least twice a week and at most three. Bother men if you want more faster, I'd be happy to oblige. I hope the story strikes your fancy because I'm actually quiet proud of this one! Enjoy!
Love, Ami (:
