I don't own Inuyasha! Leave it be!

 

 

Chapter Three

 

Inuyasha stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel. As he dried himself off, he shook his head causing little water droplets to fly through the air. He whipped the mirror off and glared at his short hair. Well not super short as it fell to the middle of his neck, but much shorter than the waist length hair he had gloriously donned the day before. His half brother, after continuously pestering him about it, had finally admitted that it wasn't as bad as it seemed.

 

He cocked his head to the side and regarded his hair thoughtfully. He shook his head and finished drying his hair. He quickly brushed it before shaking it to the way he liked it. A slightly ruffled style with a professional flair that said,” Choose me! Choose me!” Well that is what their stepmother always called it. Speaking of which…

 

“Inuyasha! Don't make me come in there! You need to get to that new job of yours! On your way home make sure to pick up my booze!” Tatiana yelled at him through the bedroom door. Inuyasha yelled back an affirmative while he rolled his eyes. He had landed a job with the choreographer of some prissy pop star. He was going to be learning how to choreograph while he got to do some dancing of his own with the `princess'.

 

He made his way to his closet and took out two pairs of pants and two shirts. Inuyasha yanked his towel off and put some boxers on. He pulled the first pants out of the pile and laid them out on the bed doing the same with one of the shirts. He then also did the same to the other set. He shook his head before switching the shirts around. He decided on slightly baggy jeans, a tan shirt that said in bright red and orange, `Your mom…' on the front and on the back it said, `…likes my butt.' Inuyasha slipped his brown Birkenstocks on before tying his rosary with the cream colored fangs of a real demon around his neck. He picked up his gym bag that held a change of clothes and his dancing shoes.

 

He waved at his stepmother before stepping out of their apartment and into the hallway that led to the parking garage. He quickly made his way over to his car. It was a 2000 Dodge Stratus and it was the only one he could afford. He threw his stuff into the passenger seat before putting the key in the ignition and buckling his seatbelt. Inuyasha quickly pulled out of the parking lot and onto the street to make his way to the studio that he was asked to go to.

 

Inuyasha drive for about half an hour before he came upon the address that the studio was at. He pulled into the parking lot that was near the building. He climbed out of his car and grabbed his stuff before locking the doors up. As he walked towards the building he looked at it in awe. He had never seen such a beautiful architectural building before. When he reached the front doors the opened automatically for him and he quickly found the nearest elevator. He pressed the button to go down to the basement. Inuyasha watched the number go down to “B” and as the doors opened a chime sounded.

 

All he saw were hallways and doors. He found a sign that said that the hallway to the right was the one he was looking for. He noticed that there weren't many doors so it made the job of finding the room much easier. He was about to open the door when a face popped out at him. The man-woman- err, thing that had long violet triangle tattoos under its eyes looked at him before recognizing him.

 

“Ah! So you're the Inuyasha that brother Suikotsu was talking about! OOOOO! And look at those ears! They are absolutely delicious looking. Come on in, come on in!” He opened the door wider for him to enter. “You need to meet with brothers Bankotsu, Renkotsu, and Suikotsu. Follow me now. Oh, and by the way I am Jakotsu, another of the brothers of the Shichinintai. Here is the door and have fun working with us!”

 

Inuyasha stared after Jakotsu with a strange look. This person looks like a man, talks and dresses like a woman and even wears makeup! The door opened up suddenly and Inuyasha jumped. He saw another member stick his head out. This time it was one he knew.

 

“Oh hello Inuyasha, it's nice to see that hair of yours at a decent length.”

 

“It is nice to see you too, Mr. Suikotsu. If you thought mine was ridiculous than you haven't seen anything! My brother's hair is almost at his knees and it was as thick as mine is.”

 

“Come in then. We're waiting on the princess now. She never runs this late. Usually she is the one to unlock the studio doors. It leads me to wonder where in the world she is.” Suikotsu opened the door wider to get Inuyasha through. He led Inuyasha through to another door and they went through to what looked to be a hardwood dance floor. He indicated for Inuyasha to sit down on one of the many couches that lined the side of the floor.

 

“So this girl, what is she like Mr. Suikotsu?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“Don't call me Mr., it makes me sound old. But she is the most caring person that I have ever known. She is kind and she had to have the happiest childhood ever with the way that she is always smiling. I don't think that you could have asked for a better business person when you came to us. The instant she heard your name she grabbed the papers straight out of my hand. It is almost like she knows you or something.”

 

“Who knows? I have never met this girl in my life. Heck I can't keep up with anything current. I don't even know the employer of my employer's name!”

 

“You'll meet her soon enough.” Just then the doors were thrown open and a girl ran in. She had long straight dark brown hair and deep brown eyes. “That is Sango. She is the best friend of-.” He was interrupted by Sango.

 

“Suikotsu, she isn't here yet is she?”

 

“No Sango. You may kill her after the tour.” Suikotsu told the hot and sweaty woman.

 

“There may not be a tour! I thought she already told you guys, but her grandfather is sick! He is going to have some surgery in the near future. But that is not going to keep me from killing her!” The door opened again, this time revealing Kagome. She was red faced and sweaty. She closed the door and headed over to the small group. Inuyasha hadn't had a good view of her but he had a chance to smell her. To him the girl smelled good, even under the sweat that was all over her. However it was a familiar smell. The instant he saw her he knew who she was. He hadn't seen her since they were both kids but he knew her.

 

He watched as they were talking. Kagome had rolled her eyes before curling her bottom lip up as she tried to blow her bangs away from her face. She glanced at him and did a double take. This time she looked at him fully and stared at him, her face holding an unbelieving look. She blinked before she spoke cutting off what Sango was saying.

 

“I-i-i-Inuyasha? Is it really you?” She asked. He growled a bit before biting his tongue.

 

“Keh! Who else would it be, bitch?” He bit back at her.

 

“Humph. Still and ignoramus after all these years Inuyasha? Please SIT down.” She said noticing that he had the rosary that she had made for him when they were kids. Inuyasha immediately flopped to the floor, cursing at everything. `Why now?' He thought, `Now of all times! This is a nightmare!'
