Toxic Fame

Chapter 1

"Inuyasha! You're going to be late for your shoot again!" an impatient old lady called up the stairs. "Oh give me a break you old hag! They can wait for me, I'm famous remember. They say that I'm one of the best actors they've ever had." The old woman rolled her eyes, 'why he was ever allowed to become a famous is unbelievable.'

Meanwhile

"Wow! So this is what it is like to be able to help out people in the movies!" A sixteen year-old Kagome Higurashi was sitting on a chair getting her makeup on. Kagome had beautiful skin, not too pale, but not too tan, her lips were soft, silky, and a pale pink. Her long black hair cascaded down her shoulders. Her warm brown eyes shone brightly with an awe for everything around her. "You're very lucky miss, not many are chosen to be an extra on the set. There, your makeup is all done." "Thank you." Kagome smiled kindly at the girl. She had not been at this studio for long but already people liked her. She was kind, caring, cheerful, and always ready to help others out.

Kagome walked out of the studios, she found the lead actress leaning against the wall panting for breath. "Excuse me, are you ok?" "No, I have a slight cold, and I shouldn't be even walking. Do you think you could carry me to the set?" "Of course!" "Here are my bags." The actress shoved her bags into her hands. Kagome sighed but picked the actress up. She was really heavy, but Kagome did it anyways. 'Ok, I just have to go down that country road that the set is set up near. I can do that.'

Unfortuanately for Kagome, the set was a whole two miles away. "So where is your car?" Kagome asked the actress as politely as she could. "Oh it's awful! The car broke down!" "Well, you're lucky that you met me." Kagome smiled, what she didn't see though was the actress smirking. After about 1.5 miles, Kagome's legs gave out. She fell to the ground, and the slightly heavy actress fell right on top of her knee and ankle. "What did you do that for?" the actress scolded. "I'm sorry," Kagome tried to get up but the pain was too intense, she fell back down. "I don't think I can move." She she told the girl. "That's ok, I'll just walk the rest of the way, then I'll send someone for you." She said coldly. The girl got up and walked away, leaving poor Kagome on the ground all alone.

The girl got to the set and was getting ready for the first scene. She was talking with one of her makeup girls, "yeah, this girl carried me most of the way here, you know that I'm too sick to walk on my own, and all of a sudden she collapsed. She said she couldn't walk, can you believe the nerve of her! Yeah, so I had to walk the rest of the way here. Can you believe it, me…" The director and a silver haired actor passed by. "Don't you think you should have gotten someone to go and help her Kikyo?" the director asked. "I bet that she faked it." The actress, apparently whose name was Kikyo, responded. "Inuyasha, can you please go fetch her? I'd hate to see a young maiden all alone and hurt." (wow, I wonder who the director is?) "Fine," He turned around. "But wait, don't you need to know where she is?" Kikyo was blushing a bit. "No, I can find her on my own." He told her not even turning around, or even looking at her.

Kagome was trying to get up. 'Why am I so weak now? I've dealt with much worse than this.' She almost stood up, but the pain was so great that her vision went red and she fell down. She knew she should have brought her little emergency kit. She then felt a hand touch her shoulder.

Inuyasha finally found the girl; he put his hand on her shoulder. All of a sudden she whipped around, her arm up to her face, almost as if to shield her. Her eyes were wide with fear. Then the fear in her eyes subsided. She tried to get up, "you know, if you're hurt you really should just sit there." She looked away, "easier said than done." She seemed to have the personality of a fighter. Always trying to be stronger, never wanting to admit their failures or defeats. Inuyasha knelt down and felt her ankle. It seemed to have a fracture, and her knee didn't look quite right. He then picked her up. "W-what are you doing?" her face was a little bit red. Inuyasha was still staring straight ahead. "What do you think, I'm carrying you to the set, there you can at least get proper attention." "I don't need a doctor." "Oh really? You don't you say? Your ankle is fractured a bit." "I've had worse and didn't need a doctor." This comment made Inuyasha look down at her. Her eyes were hard, as though she didn't want any emotion to get through. Inuyasha was interested in her. He had never seen a girl like her before. 'What is it about her that makes her different?' he thought

"Yes her ankle is a bit fractured, and her knee cap was dislocated. I replaced the knee cap, and her ankle has a quick temporary cast. She should be fine." "Thank you Dr. Jerry." Kagome politely thanked. "Aw no problem at all, I'm always happy to help others." With that the doctor left.

"That's it! I can't take it anymore! I QUIT!" with that a furious Kikyo stomped of the set. "Great, now who is going to replace her?" the director whined. "Kagome stood up and walked over to the poor director, "Umm, I can do it." The director looked at her, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I have all the lines memorized, plus my knee is fixed, and my ankle feels fine." "Ok, if you're sure." He looked at her skeptically as if to say, 'I still don't believe that you feel fine. "Ok everyone! Help Miss Kagome here get ready."
