DANCE WITH ME

By Inuhanya

Disclaimer: The characters from Inuyasha do not belong to me. I'm simply borrowing them to tell this story from the heart.

Author's Note: Dance With Me is a story inspired by and pays tribute to Dirty Dancing, drawing from its emotional essence, certain narrative elements, and the passion for dance as a language of the soul.

This work does not aim to replicate the original story, but rather to reinterpret it within the Inuyasha universe, with its own characters, conflicts, and paths. If you recognize certain echoes, they are completely intentional—they are part of the tribute.

This is the English version of Baila Conmigo.

I hope you enjoy this version as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Chapter 1: Welcome to the Goshinboku Country Club

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Sesshomaru, are you finally going to tell us where you're taking us?" Rin asked her husband for the second time that day, her voice filled with anticipation as she shifted her soft gaze away from the windshield to admire the handsome profile of the man behind the wheel.

Dr. Sesshomaru Higurashi remained focused on the road ahead as he drove along the wide, paved highway. Without turning his head, he smiled ever so slightly before responding to his young wife.

"I already told you, Rin. It's a surprise. The only thing I can say is that..." He paused briefly as he glanced at the rearview mirror, meeting the serious brown gaze of his younger sister. "These will be the best vacation the Higurashi family has ever had."

I don't think so, thought the youngest of the Higurashi siblings as she lightly crossed her arms over her stomach. Even so, she offered a soft smile in response while sinking a little deeper into the back seat of the car.

Deep down, she was just as intrigued as her sister-in-law Rin—if not more—but at the same time, she felt slightly annoyed with her brother. These were the longest university holidays, and her greatest wish had been to spend them in the city enjoying time with her childhood friend, Hojo Okinawa.

Of course... that had been until the day her dear older brother came home with the news of the surprise family trip.

With a small, quiet sigh, she returned her attention to the car window to enjoy the view. A beautiful oldie played on the radio: "Baby, I Love You" by The Ronettes, one of her favorites. The scenery was truly beautiful. There was no denying that. After thinking about it a little more—and with the help of the lovely melody—she came to the conclusion that maybe it wouldn't be so bad to change her surroundings, just this once. Deep down, she had the faint feeling that the only ones who would truly enjoy it were her brother Sesshomaru and her young sister-in-law, Rin.

After three more hours on the road, they finally reached a small turn where a large sign welcomed them to the prestigious Goshinboku Country Club. Rin looked at her husband once again, this time with an expression full of excitement on her lovely face, to which he simply responded with a subtle wink.

"We're almost there." That was his brief reply to her unspoken question.

After fifteen more minutes of driving along the thick, stone-paved path lined with reddish bricks, Sesshomaru finally passed through an elegant white-painted wooden gate and parked the family car in a wide, level parking area that, at that time of day, was already nearly full.
