I Do Not Own Inuyasha, or the music

Things get spicy in this chapter and it is long and detailed, but worth it!

Thank You!

It was apparent that that most youkai didn't have anything against hanyous. Really it was against ignorant humans that screamed 'demon!' every time they saw one. Really most upper level youkai like the ones in Sesshomaru's castle were honorable and didn't attack people unless provoked. It amazed Kagome when she thought about what fear did to ignorant people.

Inuyasha picked all 4 of the planners and split them among himself, Kikyou, and Kagome. When they had arrived at the polished marble castle, they were given a quick but thorough briefing by Sesshomaru. Once the briefing was finished Kagome stayed behind in his office to ask for a few spell books and 6 women working in the castle that were available for her project.

Of course before she left she was given a warning. "Miko, you will be responsible with those spells, and as for your surprise performance you will not fail the west in demonstrating its glory. I will be there to be a judge in whether it is favorable. You may go." Kagome didn't argue, she knew how every lord was supposed to represent their land in a good way, and failure was no option. Making her way to the library, she found the perfect spell to store the songs she wanted to use in an object.

Of course she wouldn't be able to explain what an iPod was and where it came from. The spell took her until midnight for 4 hours to get all the ingredients and object ready as well as play the songs and get the object to memorize it. Finally after all her hard work she had that cube was made with another spell. It was in the shape of a cube but it wasn't solid looking. It was a pretty blue with silver swirling in its jelly like casing.

After the most difficult task was done she hurriedly found Yuki her planner and told her to find all the supplies she would need for an out of ordinary Japanese stage. Usually they were short and made out of wood. They would be made out of wood, but they would be about three feet off the ground. She then told her would draw the stage plans and that she needed thin, see through, with more width than length soft cloths. As well as 7 smooth iron poles and many long mirrors along with a room where she could teach dancing. She then headed off to her comfy guest room.

Waking early in the morning about 5, she called for Sango and her dancers. She directed her dancers to their practice room she then directed them to listen to Sango teach them to stretch. Running back to her room she quickly and accurately drew 3 views of the stage she wanted. She then handed them off to Yuki telling her to use other youkais to get the stage done in three days' time. Stopping to bathe, dress, and tie her hair in a bun she ran to the training room.

She then started talking about the different ways to move ones waist. Sango had a bit of trouble but it was okay, she wasn't one dance, however youkai women weren't built like average Japanese women of their time. In Kagome's time women had filled out better close to how she did. She then went on to coming up with moves to the dances and teaching them ignoring the widened eyes of the women, when they heard the beats but didn't understand the words being said.

She then thought of enchanting the stage room so that when they did perform, Inuyasha would understand as much as his era could, skipping over parts that were too futuristic. She then thought of making clones of Inuyasha to mouth the words to the song exactly, she would only need two. Boy did she have her plate full. She then went to Sesshomaru to ask for a small pouch for funds for clothes from her time.

Kagome found out early in her journey that if she took gold coins home they were worth a lot of money. That money paid off the house, pay for she and Sota's college, her mother and grandfather's retirement, as well as the travel supplies they needed. On the fifth day after making sure her dancers knew the moves to the three songs as well as how to use their new tool and taking estimated guesses on sizes, she barrowed Kirara for a lift to the well to go shopping.

Inuyasha used his time to make minor decisions for his party, things such as what meals he wanted, sadly ramen wasn't available. After that he would hang with Miroku. They would do things like talk to Sesshomaru's spies on the whereabouts of Naraku or take tours of his father's ancient halls. He was being surprisingly well behaved and patient, because he strangely felt at home.

Kikyou was hard at work in the kitchen coming up with meals and recipes for the event. However she was not liked anywhere she went. She truly showed her hatred of youkai on her shoulder and had to get a threat from the great taiyoukai of the west to straighten up or face death. Kikyou wasn't stupid she knew Sesshomaru was too strong for her so she kept to herself. She would become increasingly angered when she would see the youkai in the castle treat Kagome as if she were a long-time friend. She would try and pretend she did not care and that she was only there for Inuyasha.

Kagome came back with the three sling travel bags with certain outfits for each of the dancers. When she arrived back at the castle, she received the good news from Yuki that her clothes were ready. Since everything was taken care of she spent the rest of the days practicing and working on the translation spell.

Sesshomaru was dealing with matters of the west while everyone ran around decorating rooms. The lord of the Southern region wanted him to mate his daughter, although she was powerful, but not powerful enough to half of Sesshomaru's strength, he would not mate her. Her didn't want to be miserable and held back, especially being around a persistent wench like her.

Menai was an elemental youkai that was spoiled rotten to the core. Her father was equally as annoying. He wanted Sesshomaru's lands and a larger title instead of just earning one. Two days before the event he got word of it and brought up how allies were sometimes invited to those types of events, which was true. However Sesshomaru didn't have the chance to say no. The next hour he showed up along with his mate and daughter. 'Kami help him.'

The entertainment and dining rooms were set the performances and food ready, and everyone was juiced up, except Kagome. She'd heard about the extra guests and was now nervous because originally she was suppost to perform in front of Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Miroku. Now there were these strangers and Kouga. She heard how one Lord invited the rest and it was killing her.

Walking through the halls she came upon Shippou and Rin who were on their way to bed however she pulled them to go to the dance training room along with her dancers. She then went to the corner of the room near the mirrors and pulled a box out of a bag. Early afternoon she went to the well and bought two cakes and put them in brown boxes. Another surprise in store for Inuyasha. She then told the head cook to put them in their version of an ice box.

Now here she was with the smaller round cake ready to pass it out. "I just wanted to say I am so proud of all of you and that I know we'll be perfect out there. Also I wanted you two to join us since you won't be able to attend and have some cake." She then passed out slices and told them it was alright to use their hands. Everyone had questions about the strange sweat treat and Kagome merely replied, "It came from my village."

The dance had a long low table turned so that it faced the stage. Red and purple see through cloth swooped along the ceiling. One huge chandelier was in the middle of the ceiling lit with candles giving the room a dark light feeling but was exciting to the senses. Kagome truly knew what she was doing.

Everyone filed into the room with Inuyasha taking the middle seat proceeded by Sesshomaru then Menai and her family. Sake was poured after Kikyou directed it so then took her seat in the back room. She couldn't help but awe at the room and grow in jealously. Since the room was filled with so many scents Inuyasha couldn't tell where it was coming from but Sesshomaru did smell the jealously coming off of Kikyou and turned to give an evil smirk. While waiting for the show to start Menai kept trying to grab his attention as he tried to take to Inuyasha about what to expect.

"Hello and welcome,'' Sango said while standing on the stage and bowing. "We have a one-time event brought to you from a village who won't be bringing this again, so you all are very lucky, may I present 'the Birthday Girls!' The curtain pulled back to reveal every dancer in black stretch shorts and short nurse jackets. Kagome wore black stretch shorts as well but with a black thin long sleeve as well as the same flat shoes as everyone else. Then with the quick call of the name of the song it started.

To say that everyone was stunned after the first dance was an understatement. They did understand through the translations they were hearing that the foreign song was an innuendo. No one said a word they were to stun. Kagome and the girls then went to the back room that was built to change. Kagome then set the clone Inuyasha on stage in its pose.

With the curtain closed they moved into positions each one of them in black heels. Once the music began mouths started hanging open at that point. Even Sesshomaru couldn't comprehend. The whole song sent the males on edge when they realized the sexuality on both sides of the scale and were even baffled by the clone Inuyasha singing foreign words. When all was said and done, let's just say some people had to adjust their pants.

(Third song is more detailed)

"May I present their third and final performance," Sango said.

They all started moving their hips swaying while others climbed and swung on poles. Kagome was busy dancing in front of a singing and sitting Inuyasha. "Yeah girl I just hope that you miss me when I'm gone." Letting her head swing then plopping down on her knees facing Inuyasha, she brought her hands in the air and started leaning back in a sensual way. Only to hop back up and give a provocative walk to the other Inuyasha rapping. She alternated between leaning on his shoulder and dancing around him.

When that Inuyasha stopped rapping and disappeared in thin air she went to the pole by the sitting Inuyasha and climbed and swung with grace. As the song neared its end she came kneeling on her toes to his face almost teasing his lips only to stand and provocatively walked to the pole she was at before and start climbing. As the song ended she leaned back while twisted her legs to give her a good grip, she then let one hand lie out above her head. Her body faced horizontal toward the crowd giving them a good view of her body.

Applause and howls filled the air even Sesshomaru clapped with a look of shock in his eyes no one noticed. However Inuyasha was burning up so much he fell out of his seat as soon as it ended.

The girls changed with satisfied looks on their faces as well as blushes. Kagome was sadly the only one of the dancers that could go to dinner in the dining room. When she got there she was bombarded with questions and applause. She blushed and smiled so hard Sesshomaru had to have them stop. However everyone who was paying attention to Kikyou knew she was NOT happy. However no one cared enough to point it out when Kagome's cake came out.

As dinner ended Kagome was followed by guards that were to be stationed outside her room for fear of intruders. The guards were put there mainly because Sesshomaru wouldn't tolerate and shenanigans through the night. Kagome slept good knowing Inuyasha had a great Birthday.
