Chapter three: Kagome's Dance

lemon: parts of this chapter will offend people. You are warned . . .


I will not try to describe each bump and grind . . .

I trust the readers imagination will fill in those details better then I can describe them . . .

Authors' note: Normally the villagers would want the dancers to do the traditional dances without change. But . . . In this case, they know Kagome is doing it and Keade has warned them that changes would occur. Kagome has brought in some new things (the cameras and lights, etc.) so . . . instead of yelling and probably stoning Kagome to death when Kagome changes the dance, they accept it as an exceptional scene . . . (the next year's dance will be older traditional dance, of course. Although, in private . . . who knows what type of dance will be done . . . )

there is a large author's note about the dance at the end of the chapter.


________________________________________

Kagome, takes a deep breath, puts on a stiff smile on her face, and drops the robe that was covering her. 'If I going to do a striptease in front of the Inu-yasha and the entire village . . . then let's do it . . . ' she thinks.

The villagers gasp . . .

Kagome is not wearing the traditional kimono. Instead she appears to be wearing many, perhaps a dozen, thin multi-colored silken scarfs and only scarfs are visible . . . three scarfs are on each breast and the others are around her waist.

Flashback: a couple of days ago, in modern Tokyo . . .

Kagome is standing in a store, in the red-light district of Tokyo, a store that specializes in exotic customs. She is desperately trying not to stare at the stores merchandise. She is not dressed in her school clothes, but in a long black dress. She is nervous and her face is flushed.

'Keade said she'd let me modify the dance. Normally she'd start teaching the girl a month or so in advance, but I've only got a couple days, so she'll let me use some modern dance steps and costumes to make me more comfortable during the dance.' Kagome thinks as she looks around. She pauses and shakes her head. Something about that thought, she needs to think about more, she knows . . . but she's too distracted to concentrate on it.

Kagome approaches the counter, where there is nice looking young woman attendant ready to help people.

"Hello! Can I help you?" the woman says.

"Umm, I am looking for something . . . about dancing. I've got to, ummm, it embar."

"OH, don't worry about it. Everybody that comes in is embarrassed. Dancing, Huh?" she says brightly. Kagome nods.

"Hmmm, let's see." The woman goes over to a nearby rack and waves Kagome to come over. Kagome, slowly, comes over to look at the selections. "It's just for your boyfriend, right?" The attendant asks.

"Ummm, no." Kagome whispers and blushes a deep red.

"No?" She pauses, looks Kagome up and down, critically eyeing her. 'Hmmm, lost a bet I imagine, teen-agers . . . ' the woman thinks.

"Well, a crowd . . . " she reaches for a smallish box on one of the shelves. "Here I think this will go over good." She hands Kagome the box.

Kagome reads the title on the box. "Dance of the seven veils costume."

"You'll also need this." She hands Kagome a DVD. The title when Kagome reads, it is, "Belly dancing for beginners."

"Ummm, could I have two boxes of the costume, please?" Kagome asks in a soft voice.

'Grandfather will hate it when he sees I'm not using the traditional clothes and dance steps. But, right now, I, really, don't care what he likes or dislikes.' Kagome, who's expression has been downcast, suddenly brights up as she thinks, 'besides, if I not doing the traditional dance, then he's not going to show that tape around . . . ' she smiles, the thought that, say, her friends, getting a copy of the tape was not something she was looking forward to. 'He might even let me destroy it.'

End flashback . . .

'I remember Uzume's dance now . . . I am going to kill Keade and Miroku. Slowly . . . painfully . . . They knew about this.' Inu-yasha angrily thinks as he strains his muscles trying to break the seals preventing him from moving and talking. 'This is why the villagers were only talking in whispers the last few days. IF I had known . . . I'm going to rip this village apart. When I finish with them. Kagome. She should have known better. She should have let me take her away. She doesn't have to do this . . . ' (for the fan girls.... alternate scene at the bottom of the chapter)


The villagers, after gasping, look at each other and decide that this is a good omen, they did want this year festival to be different, and they start to chant, "Kagome, Kagome . . . "

Several villagers had some traditional musical instruments and they were starting to play them but when Kagome dropped her robe, it distracted them. It takes a minute or so, before they start playing.

Keade looks at Miroku, who shrugs, "no idea" he mouths. Keade takes the microphone back from him and begins again.

"Next a sister-goddess Ama no Uzume, the goddess of happiness, stepped forward with an idea all her own. She stripped herself naked and carefully dresses in various plants and bamboo leaves."

"Ok, I can see that, maybe." Miroku whispers.

Kagome, as the villagers play the traditional music, begins to dance around the stage. Keade did teach her some steps, so her dance is a combination of the traditional steps and modern belly dancing.

The villagers start to sing out the traditional song. (Authors' note: A song is below, not the real song, but, a good song . . . Sorry about not putting it in here but, I didn't want it to interrupt the flow of the story, here. Later on . . . smile. . . )


As she goes around the stage some of the villagers continue to chant, "Kagome," although there are some chants of "Uzume" occur as well. Both of these cries are mixed in as the villagers sing the traditional song.

Kagome dances and she circles the stage as part of her movements. Each time she passes Inu-yasha, she takes off one of her veils and drops it in Inu-yasha's lap. He is sitting in his normal cross-legged position.

'Everybody is liking this. I had hoped, maybe. But, they like it. They really want me to strip. I can do this. I can dance the way they want me to. The music is good, and it makes me want to dance. Perhaps the sake. Hmmm, I can use the sake as an excuse. Whatever I do tonight, isn't my fault. I can do anything I want tonight . . . and it'll be accepted . . . ' Kagome thinks as she dances.

She smiles, her natural smile, not the stiff one of earlier, she can allow herself to enjoy this, and her dance steps become more comfortable and flowing.

After a minute or so, Keade and Miroku shake themselves, like an electric spark has just passed through them. Keade whispers, "the gods are with us . . . " Miroku nods.

After another minute, Kagome begins to glow. An aura begins to form around her. The villagers chant changes, "Uzume" is yelled more than "Kagome"

'Let me help, my daughter' Kagome hears in her mind.

'Ama no Uzume?' She asks. Her dance steps slow for a second.

'Yes, my daughter, this is my dance. Let me help you spread happiness.'

'Ok . . . '


Kagome's dance steps change. They become much more confident, wilder, and erotic. She starts to brush the veils up against the watching men and occasionally she'll brush a veil against a woman. She is still dropping the veils only on Inu-yasha's lap and she never actually touches another person. She can see hands vanishing into robes and rhythmic up and down movement under the kimono's of the men and male teen-agers. She smiles lustily to all the people watching.

The villagers playing the music finish their song. Kagome still has on about half the veils she started with. She stands next to the edge of the stage and one of the girls hands her a cup of sake as she waits for the villager to turn on the Karaoke machine.

Kagome, during the pause, thinks, 'umm, how do I . . . '

'Whatever makes you happy, child.'

'Ama no Uzume, what did you mean by . . . my daughter.'

'My bloodline flows through thee. It is clear and unbroken, no matter how many generations it's pasted through.'

The villager by the Karaoke machine was busy watching Kagome and not paying attention, so the break was a little longer than planned. Modern music from the Karaoke machine begins to play. It's the standard music for belly dancing taken from the DVD. (Another revenge on her grandfather.)

'When I told her that she could modify the dance and costume, I expected her to make the dance more sedate, not more energetic. I thought, she'd realize that I meant that she could keep some of her clothes on, but . . . she's going through with it . . . Do I stop her?' Keade looks around.

The villagers are all singing and chanting with a passion she's never seen before. They can tell this year's festival will one that will be talked about long after all of them are dead.

Kagome's expression is one of bliss and happiness. The only one that might not be happy is Inu-yasha. But, a glance at his crotch shows he is enjoying the show, though.

Keade's mystical senses also are humming with power. The power of the watching gods that this festival was to attract and use to increase the fertility of the village. 'No . . . I let it continue, who knows what god I might anger, if I interfere.'

The villagers, after a second to adjust to the new tune, begin to sing the traditional song again. Chants of "Uzume" and "Kagome" ring out.

Kagome begins to dance again. This time it's a much more stepped up pace. Her use of the veils to brush up against the males of the village increases.

The villager men respond by moving their clothes out of the way and they show Kagome and everybody else exactly how much they are enjoying Kagome's dance. Some of the women's hands also vanish. The men and women of the village are starting to intermingle.

The aura around Kagome grows brighter and more powerful. She can see a small strip of light appears on the wall of lean-to tent facing the stage. Sango has cut a hole, so she can see Kagome and light is showing through. Keade and Miroku twitch as they start to glow as well.

More gods are showing up to watch the show. Glowing fireflies of light start to orbit the village.

As the modern music approaches its climax, she finally removes the last veil and drops it into Inu-yasha's lap. Inu-yasha eyes now blaze with lust, though there is still some anger.

'She's mine! Only I should see her like this! I'm going to rip their eyes out! I'm going to take her and make her mine!' Inu-yasha thinks as his struggles with the seals become even greater. 'I want her! I want to take her! Mark her! Make her mine! Mine! Nobody else!' he screams in his mind.

Then, Kagome reaches down, strips off her panties, which was the last thing she had on, and places it around Inu-yasha's head. The front of her very wet panties, she places directly over his nose. She reaches down to his crotch and brushes up against it. Inu-yasha shudders as his crotch dampens. Kagome smiles, a smile with all the mystery of womanhood, at him. The modern music finishes.

Inu-yasha begins to glow as well. A larger bulker man shape forms around Inu-yasha.

The village men start to play the traditional song again. However, the music is different. The first time the music was obviously done by amateur villagers. This time, the instruments glow and the music that comes out is perfect. Many of the villagers are glowing by this time.

The villagers sing . . .

"She stepped up to the cave"
"With Utmost seriousness"
"With grave determination"
"With proper decorum and a lofty mien"

Kagome gestures and one of the wooden phalluses, from earlier, flies into her hand. She starts to lightly and gently brush it against parts of her nude body as she moves around the stage.


the villagers sing . . .

"And with a bump and a bump and bump bump bump bump"
"lifted my kimono and revealed myself in ways"
"That caused the mouths of the exalted ones"
"To water and fall open,"


Miroku's mouth is open by this time. 'I never, ever thought she'd go through with this. I was sure . . . something would happen. But . . . This means . . . Sango and I, later . . . ' his mouth closes and he smiles. He adjusts the lower part of his robes.

"Then I played puppet with my labia"
"and paid myself a little lip service"
"I heaved my breast over one shoulder"
"Then the other over the other,"


Kagome places the phallus against her female opening and as she dances around, she rubs herself. Her other hand massages her breasts.

"And I land on my backside"
"With a bump and a bump and a bump bump bump bump"
"Admist the explosions of laughter and merriment"
"Of the esteemed crowd,"

The villager's yells of "Uzume" and "Kagome" increase in volume, as if more people are joining in.

She slinks her way over to Inu-yasha and then sits down, cross-legged in front of Inu-yasha. But as she does, Kagome shakes her head and yells, "I am Kagome! Not anyone else!" And she closes her legs.

Everything stops . . .

The glow around Kagome pulses and fades. Kagome yells, "I will do it! Myself! I will not be anybodies puppet!"

Kagome stares Inu-yasha in the face, obviously looking for something . . .
'Let me go! Bastard, mother-fucking possessing bastard, let me go! So I can have her!' he mentally yells at whoever is possessing him.

'I didn't interfere with my sister when she first made this dance, why should I interfere now?'

'Kagome! Please! I want you! And only you!' Inu-yasha thinks. Emotion blazes from his eyes.

Keade motions to the nearby villagers and the villagers, after a pause, start to sing again.

"With breasts tied in a knot"
"My legs spread like a welcome mat,"
"I called in the spirits"
"and offered them my body"

Kagome, swallows hard, 'tonight . . . tonight . . . I can do anything I want and I want . . . ' she thinks.

Her legs slowly open and she moves her hands between her legs and her womanly entrance and spreads her lower lips. She looks at Inu-yasha and mouths the words, 'I want you'. She blushes, a bright and deep blush that goes below her chest. . .

"But they refused to take it"
"The crowd howled and laughed as I continued my dance,"

After a minute, she gets up and begins to dance around the stage. As she dances, a ghostly glowing beautiful woman appears and she dances next to Kagome.

The villagers chant out "Kagome" and "Uzume" lustily.

"Til Amaterasu couldn't stand it any longer"
"And rushed out to see what was what,"
"And thus did laughter"
"win the sun goddess from her dark cave,"
"And bring light and warmth back into the world"

As the traditional song finishes, Kagome collapses into Inu-yasha's lap. She twists herself, so she lands sitting down on his lap, facing outward, her back against his chest.

The crowd of villagers screams, "Kagome!" as she lands in his lap.

"Child, wait until I've finished before removing the seals. I need to tell yee things." Keade whispers to Kagome with the microphone held well away.

Kagome, who had been about to get up so she could remove the seals, starts, bits her lips and whispers, "I am sorry, Inu-yasha, but, tonight, I promised to do things her way."

Keade, after a pause, starts to speak again: "Amaterasu, in her cave, was surprised. Even in her worst meetings with Susan-O, she had never heard such a noise in her peaceable kingdom. What could she be missing? Finally when she heard the laughter of the gods, she couldn't resist peering outside the cave."

Sango opens up the lean-to and leans out. She is glowing brightly.

The villagers exclaim, "Amaterasu!" and all of them fall to their knees and bow at the glowing Sango.

Keade: "Everyone sounded so happy without her! The gods, who wanted to take no chances with their mothers' goddess, had a little plan. They had asked the god of force to hide near the entrance of the cave and seize her hand and drag her all the way out when she appeared, but, as it turned out, force really wasn't necessary after all."

Sango steps out of the lean-to and onto the stage. She grabs the mirror on the fake tree as she passes and looks at herself as she walks to the center of the stage.

Keade: "Amaterasu was seeing herself for the first time in a very long time, and it gave her a stronger determination to carry on her duties in heaven. She immediately returned to her palace and vowed never again to be so frightened by any storm. Mirrors were hung in the doorways to her temples, so that all who passed in or out might look deeply into it. The elders say that the people of Japan, and the gods themselves, carried on their lives with renewed courage and joy"


"Amaterasu!" the villagers yell!

Sango inclines her head, acknowledging the cheers. The glow around Sango fades away. Sango shakes her head, like she's waking up.

The villagers rush onto the stage and take turns touching Sango, for luck. Sango blushes, very embarrassed, but she stands still for the villagers. She even pats the heads of the younger villagers that come up to her.

While the villagers are mobbing Sango, Keade begins to whisper to Kagome. "Yee may remove the seal allowing him to move his arms and legs, child. But, do not remove the seal over his mouth."

"Why?" Kagome whispers back, glancing at Inu-yasha, who is also listening in.

Miroku, who had been nearby, has gone to the stage. His dance, with Sango, will begin soon . . .

"Dog demons tend to mark, or bite their mates."

"So, I've heard about love bites." She smiles at Inu-yasha, 'who knows, I might even enjoy it.' She thinks.

"It means more than just that, child. These are permanent marks of ownership, belonging, marriage . . . "

"And tonight"

"Was just to honor the gods. Not to bind thee and he together."

Kagome swallows, and whispers to Inu-yasha, "Inu-yasha, I'm going to remove the seal on your arms and legs, OK. But not your mouth. Tonight, is only tonight, nothing beyond it, Ok."

She reaches for the seal, but she stops and looks at the stage.

on the stage . . .

Once a few of the men have touched her, they go over to the edge of the stage. They pick up the giant phallus that was placed there earlier, and they move it to the center of the stage.

Back to Inu-yasha . . .

"Inu-yasha, I cannot and will not leave. Sango's dance is . . . more . . ." She shakes her head, unable to come up with the words to describe that dance. "than mine. I promised her that I'd stay. SO, when I remove the seal, if you try to take me away . . . you know what will happen."

She takes a deep breath, obviously prepared to yell, and she slowly removes the seal freeing Inu-yasha's limbs.

His arms quickly wrap around her, hugging her to him. He releases her, but only for a second. He releases her only so he rips his clothes, then he wraps his arms around her again. She is, now, covered by his clothes and her bare skin is pressed against his bare skin.

She twists around, so she can see Sango and Miroku's dance. Her back is against Inu-yasha's chest. Inu-yasha rests his chin on her shoulder as he hugs her close.

On the stage . . .


Villagers quickly clean off the stage. And some, after touching Sango, go into huts and take out quilts and futons and start to spread them out around the stage.

Sango, as this is happening, goes over to the table with the sake and grabs another large cup to drink. When she lowers it, half-empty, she sees Miroku standing next to her. He holds his hand open, obviously wanting to finish the cup. Sango's face flushes and her teeth clench. She lifts the cup up and finishes it off. "Tonight only, Monk" she growls out as she convulsively flings the empty cup away into the night.

Sango goes to the center of the stage. Miroku, after having a cup of sake, himself, joins her there.

Within a few minutes the villagers have finished preparing the stage for the next dance. They leave the stage and only Sango and Miroku are left standing on the stage. They are standing facing each other, with the large phallus in between them.

'Kagome got through her dance. Now, it is my turn. Tonight . . . It's not what I wanted. I wanted to do this with him, the first time, on our wedding night, but . . . ' Sango thinks.

"Are you ready, Lady Sango?" Miroku whispers.

"Remember, monk, I go first . . . " Sango hisses back


Sango removes her robe and stands nude on the stage.

Miroku removes his robe and stands nude on the stage.



the end of the chapter

Sorry for the cliffhanger, but this was a natural stopping point . . .

For those of you that thought that something would happen and Kagome would not have to strip . . . this alternative scene . . .

**** an alt. scene with Inu-yasha at the beginning of the chapter, before Kagome has started to dance. ****

"I'm Free!" Inu-yasha yells as he breaks through the seals. He jumps up and tries to grab Kagome.

"Sit, boy!" Thump! "I have to do this! Inu-yasha!"

"There is no way I'm allowing you to do this, Kagome!"

"Fine! Then! You do it!"

"ME!"

"Somebody's got to and since you're stopping me . . . you're elected."

The villagers start to chant "Inu-yasha!"

"Well, your choice, Inu-yasha. DO I strip or do you?"

Inu-yasha licks his lips and looks around. There is no way he can allow Kagome to do this . . . And she's not going to let him take her away or let him kill the villagers, so . . . He swallows hard and nods his head, yes.

Something for the fan girls . . . Have fun and use your imagination . . . anybody that wishes to write that scene... is free to do so. I'll even post it as a supplemental chapter.

The song was taken from this website: http://www.angelfire.com/va/goddesses/uzum.html

Kagome and is she OOC?... I've tried to give her as many reasons as I could. Her promise to Keade. Her feelings of obligation to the villagers. Her and Sango's desire not to do this alone. The Sake. Even Uzume. I do hope I manage to give her enough reasons to support an argument that she is in character as she strips.

As for her later actions go with the dance. Remember the sake and she just spent a period of time with Uzume . . . anybody's inhibitions would be shattered between that combination . . .

(But, if this storyline was done in the true spirit of the series. Ie no real sex. She is OOC. If I was doing this in exactly like the manga, something would have happened to prevent her from showing herself. Keade would have probably interrupted, as I hinted at in the story.)

The dance itself... as time pasted the dance became more conservative and less showy. The version above... The public performance of this type of dance would be more common pre 1000ad or pre 750ad, not 1500ad which the common time for Inu-yasha. The emperor's rice festival, a fertility rite for the entire country, was altered around 800ad, I believe.

Kagome's dance: The public version would have included something for modesty, especially in the major temples, but in the smaller temples... Shrug. This version, in a major temple, would have been performed in private for the high priest and various important people. But, this is a village in the middle of nowhere and most of the histories concentrate on the major temples (Ise, Kyoto, Edo, Tokyo) not on small villages. And my sources do indicate that each village had its own version . . . So, this is Keade's village version.

For Keade's village the dance has two functions. First, of course, is religious duty to the gods. The second, this allows the most eligible young woman in the village to show off (in a proper format), so she can attract the men in the village, so hopefully, she can get a good man to marry.

This is a religious festival, so the gods of Japan should show up . . . More notes about them in ch 4 . . .

Kagome's relationship with gods. Everything in Japan, and I mean, everything, from the very islands to the plants, the animals, and the people of Japan are children of the gods.

In case a reader is wandering about the seals, and why Inu-yasha did not break them. Remember the entire dance sequence (most of this chapter, in other words) takes at most 15 minutes, so the seals do not have to hold all that long . . .

Author's note: I do have additional stories up on fanfiction and mediaminner. (Even a Miroku story on adult FF) If you liked this, you might try some of those other stories. (I'd really like to get more readers, esp. on the "A Shard in Kyoto" story.) Many of my stories tend to have a heavy historical content, so if you like the historical bits in this, you might like them...

Chapter 4 "Miroku and Sango", I hope, will be finished by next weekend, but, real-life is interrupting and it could take a couple of weeks. Sorry about that.

Thank you for reading.
