Enchanting Dancer by Miss_Moon

Where is My Muse?

A/N: Ok this is my creation after watching this move for the 50th time and finding R0o’s Moulin Rouge challenge and I almost squealed….ok I did squeal, I hope I do the movie proud (:

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Moulin Rouge they belong to the beautiful masterminds that created them, I am just twisting it to satisfy my sick pleasure.


The year was 1899; the season was spring, in the beautiful country of France, where sex and money was what everyone wanted. In the prestige apartment building where Sesshoumaru lived, Inuyasha abruptly pushed open the door of his brother's apartment.“Ice prince where are you?” Inuyasha yelled and Sesshoumaru’s eyes twitched.

“Inuyasha I have warned you not to call me that tiresome nickname. This is the last time you will be warned.” Sesshoumaru sighed pinching the bridge of his nose, he really needed a drink. Something that would burn going down that would help him forget his situation if only for a minute. Sesshoumaru was a writer whose deadline was coming up, he only had the first chapter, and this novel was due in three weeks. Sesshoumaru groaned on the inside as he stared at the blank typewriter in front of him. He swore he could hear it mocking him in his mind. For the two whole hours he had been sitting there he hadn’t written one word, and he had no idea why. A week ago he would have been sitting in this exact same spot his fingers furiously typing, but now nothing. He let his tired eyes wander from the typewriter to his half-brother who was smiling wickedly, at him his gold eyes shining.

“Inuyasha what do you desire from me?”

“I actually came here to help you.” Inuyasha answered a mischievous glint in his eyes as he adjusted the black top hat he wore everywhere he went.

Sesshoumaru just raised his eyebrow “You help me?” Sesshoumaru scoffed pushing himself away from the type-writer for he couldn’t stand to look at anymore. Where was his beautiful muse tonight? Would he ever find her again?

“By giving you inspiration, Sesshoumaru,” Inuyasha said opening the door gesturing for Sesshoumaru to walk outside.

“No Inuyasha I’m in the middle of writing my novel.” Sesshoumaru said turning to keep gazing out the window his eyes scanning the Paris streets praying he would find something that would help him. But of course he came up blank, what was going on with him he never got like this.

“No Sesshoumaru what you’re in the middle of is writer’s block, I have a way to get rid of that writer’s block if you would just follow me.” Inuyasha smiled, that glint in his eyes again.

Sesshoumaru sighed and thought ‘What could it hurt? Maybe his half-brother really could help him?’ he mentally snorted at that. “Ok Inuyasha you have a hour of my time, but that is it. I hope I better not regret this.” Sesshoumaru said grabbing his coat and slipping it on.

Inuyasha smirked “Oh trust me Sesshoumaru, you will not regret this.” Inuyasha walked out the door twirling the cane he always carried with him. The cane was made of oak wood that had been painted black, on the top of the cane was a simple silver ball, but inside of the cane was a long blade that could be pulled out in a moment’s notice. Paris was a dangerous place, and Inuyasha knew that all too well.

Sesshoumaru just shook his head and followed Inuyasha out of his apartment and down the hallway out on to the busy streets of Paris. There were people laughing, woman dancing in the streets, couples groping each other in plain sight. Just another night in Paris.

The pair of brother navigated through the streets but not before having certain areas being jostled by many different people both male and female. When they arrived at a music hall with the name “Moulin Rouge”.

“You brought me to a cabaret?” Sesshoumaru sneered his eyes looking on the glorified sex palace with distain evident on his face.

“Sesshoumaru just calm down and don’t knock it till you try it, and I didn’t bring you to just any cabaret, I brought you to Moulin Rouge.” Inuyasha smiled pulling out two tickets for the show “Give it a chance.” Inuyasha laughed waving the ticket in front of Sesshoumaru’s face

“Remember one hour.” Sesshoumaru growled snatching the ticket out of Inuyasha’s hand and breezing into the cabaret.
Inuyasha laughed and the doorman smiled “I have a feeling he won’t want to leave after just a hour.”

“I agree Henry” Inuyasha chuckled following his brother into the cabaret and just couldn’t wait to see Sesshoumaru’s reaction to Ms. Kagome’s performance.

Kagome sighed and bit her lip thoughtfully as she applied the stark red lipstick. Kagura rolled her eyes at the young girl. “Kagome could you please stop!” Kagura snapped sliding the diamond earrings into her ears preparing for the first number that the group would be performing tonight.

“Doing what?” Kagome asked as she studied herself in the mirror, the dress she was wearing was a dramatic dress with cascading luscious layers of black organza and satin, soft pink trim ran along the dress attaching to the tight, pink, velvet bodice with sheer black polka-dotted overlay. The bodice had ruffle trim along the neckline and dainty black bow details down the center. The sassy striped stockings ran up her long lean legs, the fingerless gloves showed off her long lean fingers.

“Your sighs! I swear they shall cause your death!” Kagura sneered slipping on her sequin-trimmed, off-the-shoulder black and red that fit like a second skin. The striped thigh highs she put on next seemed to set off the whole outfit.

“Oh I didn’t realize what I was doing.” Kagome whispered grabbing the top hat with a pink velvety ribbon and over sized feather.

“Well you were sighing.” Kagura said and she grabbed the red top hat that would complete her outfit "Now come on 10 minutes to show time!" Kagura said walking out of the room.

Kagome just shook her head and followed Kagura out of the dressing room her heels echoing in the now empty dressing room.
