## BROADWAY TROUBLES ##
~*~*~*~* Disclaimer = I do NOT and NEVER will own Inu Yasha
~*~*~*~* SCENE #1 = The Introduction... *~*~*~*~
'No, this couldn't be true..
'He slowly walked towards the coffin where his love had sleep for eternity. No body was there, everybody had left her. He leaned over to see her beautiful face frozen for eternity. That was when the thought came to him.
'Why should he live a life without her?
'He slowly reached for his gun, taking it with trembling hands. He took it out, placing it carefully on the side of his head. Tears streamed down his handsome yet wrenched face.
'"Juliet, my love. I will soon join you in the other world..." And with those last words, he closed his eyes and shot himself..
'However, right at the exact moment, the girl opened her eyes. Right on time to see the love of her life fell down beside her, blood covering his head. She reached over, shocked still illuminating her weakened mind. Drops of tears started to form as she noticed the used gun to take the life of her beloved. She reached out without thinking twice.
'"Romeo, your love for me is that deep that you dare to take your life to be together with me. For that, I shall - pay you back..." And the beautiful girl took the gun just like what the man had done.
'With the deadly sound of a gunshot, Juliet fell into an endless sleep beside Romeo...'
"CUT!!!"
All the staff crew turned around and look at the satisfied look on the director's face. Mr. Yugichiro, the director, turned to the cameramen and shouted frantically,
"Did you get that? Did you get that final scene?"
The cameramen gulped and quickly checked to see if he had everything right. When everything had turned out as he had expected it to be, he nodded at the director and gave a thumbs up. Satisfied with the answer, Mr. Yugichiro turned around and look at his still dead actors. He clapped his hands to congratulate them as he walk proudly towards them.
"Hojou! Kagome! What are you guys doing still lying dead like that? We're done! The movie's done! You guys did a super duper good job!" Mr. Yugichiro practically jumped towards his most important crews. The two young people who had acted as though they were dead stood up and beamed.
"Does that mean that there's no more work for us, Yugichiro- san?" Hojou said happily. Mr. Yugichiro waved his hand good-naturedly.
"No, you don't have any more work anymore, except for the post production, but that's not until a week from now. Didn't you hear what I said before? We're done with the movie! You can leave now if you want to! Now what awaits us is just the party! You will be there right, Hojou?" He said, looking happily at the brown haired, handsome actor in his late 20-s. Hojou laughed.
"Of course I'll be there Yugichiro-san. What about you Kagome?" He said, turning around to the beautiful actress beside him. He had a very hopeful look on his face.
Beautiful is an understatement for the girl beside him. Her raven-haired color hair fell gracefully to her waist. Her blue-gray natural colored eyes showed cheerfulness and endless hope. Her perfect shaped body was especially shown with her medieval aged Juliet's costume. Her pale yet soft skin glistened together with the light of the room. Her innocent face made her look like she is an angel coming down from heaven to visit the planet we are living in right now.
Slowly however, she shook her head as a small smile formed in her lips.
"Gomenasai Yugichiro-san, Hojou-kun. But I already have an important appointment with..."
"Kagomeeeeeee!" The three of them turned around to see the source of the voice. A figure of a girl suddenly came into view. Kagome's smile widened.
"Hey Sango." She said. Sango had her hair tied up slightly near the end. Her face was flushed with happiness as she reached her best friend.
"Sugoi! You are so cool back then Kagome! I couldn't help but to hold back my tears when you acted the last scene from 'Romeo and Juliet'. You are so into it!" She said, her face full of pride.
"Thanks." Kagome said simply, blushing a bit with the praises her friend gave her. Sango quickly turned around to look at Hojou.
"You're awesome too, Hojou." But before Hojou could even answer her, Sango turned back to Kagome.
"So, Kagome. You still remember the dinner tonight?" she said, her eyes gleaming. Kagome's smile widened.
"Yeah. I was just talking to Yugichiro-san and Hojou-kun about it. I couldn't go to the party tonight because I have an appointment with you right?" Sango's eyes widened as the reality sinked in her head. She slapped herself in the head.
"Argh! I'm so sorry Kagome! I forgot there's the cast party tonight! You want me to reschedule our dinner?" Kagome thought for a moment. Beside her, Hojou was practically giving puppy dog eyes to make Kagome go to the party. However, in the end, the actress said,
"No. No matter how tempting the cast party is, a promise is a promise. Especially when it is to my best friend." Kagome said, winking at Sango. Sango smiled back.
"Anyway," Kagome said, starting to walk towards her personal changing room. "You wanna help me change back to my original self?"
"Hai!" Sango shouted, quickly following her. Sango was actually more than just a best friend to Kagome. She's her make up person (the one who does the make up for Kagome before performing =p), her secretary, her manager, her best bud since elementary school, and also her cousin. So they spent a great deal of time together and luckily for them, they get a long great.
~*~*~*~* In the changing room *~*~*~*~
"I'm so sorry Kagome. I totally forgot about the cast party." Sango said, as she began to brush Kagome's hair. Kagome was now back using normal, now- a-days clothing. Kagome looked at Sango from her gigantic mirror.
"Hey, no prob. I'm seriously not looking forward to another party with Hojou-kun anyways. He's kind and all, but a bit too clingy." Sango laughed. Everybody knew that Hojou was head over heels for Kagome. It had been publicly announced in the media for goodness sake!
"And I really want to meet this Miroku person." Kagome continued, making Sango's laughter died out instantly. Kagome laughed. "I just want to see what kind of guy he is, I mean, he's able to steal your heart!"
"We.. We're just a couple. That doesn't mean he stole my heart!" Sango said, blushing deeply. Kagome smiled. Sango had rarely taken a liking to any guy, so when she suddenly came to Kagome a week ago telling her that she had a boyfriend already, Kagome was in a pretty big shock. So, since Kagome had been nagging Sango over and over again about who this 'Miroku- guy' is, Sango finally was able to set up a dinner for the three of them. That was pretty hard for her since she must make Kagome's shootings, interviews, photography, etc. etc as priority before the dinner. So far, Sango had avoided the topic about Miroku. She kept on saying,
"If you want to know anything about him, ask it to himself over at dinner." Kagome had answered her with a roll of her eyes. However, finally tonight was the night where Kagome got the chance to interview this Miroku.
"Kagome.." Sango said suddenly the moment she had finish brushing Kagome's hair which had now turned very shiny and turned into its natural wavy structure.
"Hmmm?" Kagome answered, taking a drink of her diet coke. She's very thirsty from her shooting as Juliet.
"Did you read the latest Teen Magazine?" Sango asked her, knowing the answer perfectly. She was holding the magazine in her hands, which had magically popped out of nowhere. Kagome heaved a deep sigh,
"No, what is it this time?" She asked. She's getting tired of stupid gossips the reporters and the media had written. "If it's bad news, I think I'll just let it pass." She said, trying to find her shoes. Sango gave a small smile.
"No, actually it's not bad news. It's about the movie 'Romeo and Juliet'. It's what the critics think about it." Kagome's expression barely changed. She just rose her eyebrows and asked Sango without looking at her,
"Yeah? What is it? Can you read it for me?" Sango rolled her eyes and began to search for the page.
Honestly, if she was Kagome, she would have cared more about the latest news about her. It may have made some bad scandal for her, or probably even good comments! It's very important for entertainers to pay attention to their rumors and gossips. But, when it comes to this one famous actress, it's always had to be Sango who did this job.
"Kagome Higurashi (20), a raising young entertainer that shook both the acting and the singing world, had just accepted the part of Juliet from the famous, awaited movie of 'Romeo and Juliet'. Talented in both acting and vocal, Higurashi is now the most 'wanted' girl people searched for in the magazines, internet, and any other source of information that leads to the world of entertainment. Showing together with the famous actor Shiro Hojou (A/N, lol, I made that name up ^.^), some movie critics praised the upcoming movie. This is what.."
"Hold on." Kagome interrupted. Sango looked up.
"What?"
"Did they just say NICE things about me?" Kagome asked, looking a bit shocked. Sango nodded. Kagome laughed. Sango raised her eyebrows.
"You wanna hear what the movie critics say about 'Romeo and Juliet'?" Sango continued. Kagome raised her hand to stop her.
"Stop it. No need to use useless energy to read those kind of things. I don't care anyways.." And with that said, Kagome finished the remaining drink from her diet coke, threw it to the trash, grabbed her bag and sunglasses, and waited for the shocked yet sighing Sango to catch up with her.
~*~*~*~* In Kagome's car *~*~*~*~
"Where exactly are we going, Kagome?" Sango said inside Kagome's convertible-yet-closed-at-the-moment car. The windows were especially made to be dark so that people from the outside couldn't see whose inside. Kagome was cranking up a soft music in her car.
"No where. I just need to drive around L.A again.." She said. Sango sighed. This was Kagome, always doing abnormal things.
"Alright, just as long as you don't forget your photo shots at 3 o'clock.."
SCREEEEEEEECH!
"Owwww!" Sango moaned painfully. She looked at Kagome, "What was that for?" Kagome quickly looked at Sango.
"Photo shots? What photo shots?"
"Ouch!" Sango moaned as she rubbed her bumped head, "What do you mean 'what photo shots' Kagome? I spent half of this morning telling you about it! You're having photo shooting today for these magazines.."
"Nooooooo!" Now it was Kagome's turn to moan. What could she say? She completely forgot about that photo shooting!
~*~*~*~* 6 o'clock *~*~*~*~
"Alright! Nice job Kagome!" Her photographer shouted to her. Kagome rolled her eyes and sighed heavily. Despite that she's so tired, she's also hungry, not to mention sleepy! Sango came over to her with a worried look.
"Kagome, you look dead tired." She said, pushing her friend over to one of the chairs, giving her a glass of water. Kagome closed her eyes as she took a drink from the water Sango offered.
"Yeah, I am. I've been shooting for that Romeo and Juliet thing nonstop for weeks! I haven't got a decent 7 hours sleep since I started taking the part of Juliet for that movie!" She complained to Sango. Sango sat beside her with a worried look on her face. Of all the people in the whole wide world, she was the one who knew best how tired and pressured Kagome really was. Kagome was just not a famous actress, she's also a raising singer! Ever since a year ago, Kagome had never taken a break longer than a week and when she's not taking a break, that meant she's either off acting, singing, interviewed, getting a picture taken, on a tour, meeting her fans, etc. etc.
"Do you want me to cancel the dinner tonight Ka..." Abruptly, Kagome's eyes shot opened.
"There you go again, Sango. How many times do I have to tell you that I will not let you cancel the dinner tonight?" She said kindly. Sango smiled but then frowned.
"Are you sure? You can use this night as a resting night..." Kagome smiled and shook her head.
"Naw. meeting your boyfriend and eating somewhere decent is also what I call a rest. I've been eating those instant foods lately, it's getting on my nerves. And besides, we should go now. You need to make yourself prepared for this dinner Sango. We'll transform you into a beautiful princess right on time for the dinner!" Kagome said, standing up and began to walk towards the exit door.
"Wait Kagome!" Sango shouted. Kagome turned around with a look that say 'what now'? Sango sighed for the hundredth time that day.
"You forgot to change back to your clothes, Kagome!" She called, causing Kagome to blushed deep red.
~*~*~*~* 1 Hour after That *~*~*~*~
"I still don't believe you talked me to wear these clothes, Kagome." Sango said exasperatedly the moment they got out of Kagome's car towards the restaurant they promised to meet Miroku. Kagome grinned. Sango was wearing one of Kagome's 'specially designed' clothes. It was a beautiful white strapless tank top that showed perfectly well of her curves. And for the skirt, she was wearing a short, glistening black skirt that contrasted neatly yet comfortably with her top. Simple as it may seemed, it looked great on Sango.. not to mention it showed a lot of her skin.
Unfortunately, this kind of situation is not the same for Kagome. She had to wear an oversized jacket and a very dark sunglasses to disguised herself. Considering her disguise, this was still a very light camouflage. However, if people pay attention to her, they'll still see how beautiful she really was.
"C'mon. You're meeting your boyfriend for goodness sake!" Kagome said, practically pushing Sango towards the door.
"Great. You can say that now, Kagome. Once you know what a pervert Miroku is.."
"Did somebody mentioned my name?" came a man's voice. Sango knew the voice very well. She gave a small smile as she turned around.
"Hey Miroku.." But instead of greeting her back, Miroku's jaw dropped a few inches from his face as he stared at Sango. Sango blushed deep red. Kagome was interestingly watching them.
'So this is this Miroku guy..' She thought to herself. 'Kind of cute..'
"W. What?" Sango mumbled. Miroku finally returned to his original self, as he smiled his famous smile. He took a few steps closer towards Sango. Kagome was now VERY interested.
"You look so very gorgeous tonight, Sango dear.." He said, sounding very convincing.
"Uh. um. thank y.. AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Sango shouted suddenly, causing Kagome's sunglasses to slipped to her nose.
SLAP!!!!!!
"DON'T YOU EVER DARE TO DO THAT AGAIN, PERVERT!!!" Sango shouted, breathing heavily. Sango's hand mark was now carved on Miroku's cheek. Fortunately, ... or unfortunately, Kagome's quick eyes saw what happened. Miroku had tried to touch.. a place where it is.. quite inappropriate...
Sango took a deep breath and looked at Kagome.
"Kagome.. Come on!" She said, dragging Kagome towards the door.
"Sangooooo, waiiiiit!" Came the babyish voice from her boyfriend. "Introduce me to your beautiful friend fiiiiiiiirst!"
~*~*~*~* LATER ON THAT EVENING *~*~*~*~
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?" Miroku shouted, causing Sango to reached over and closed his mouth.
"SHHHHHH! Are you crazy? Don't go shouting like that! What if there are reporters around?" She hissed. "And besides, you work in the entertainment world too, you don't have to act THAT surprised." She added. Miroku, however, still looked shocked.
"You mean.. THAT girl is Kagome Higurashi? The daughter of the famous Oscar-winning actress Yuki Higurashi? The famous actress/singer?" Miroku said, staring at Kagome. Earlier on her carrier, Kagome would have blushed, but now she had grown accustomed to it. Instead, Kagome just smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, nice to meet you Miroku. I didn't know you knew about my mother." Kagome said, as she poked her salad to her mouth. Miroku was giving her a look that said who-on-earth-doesn't-know-Yuki-Higurashi? Kagome decided to ignore it. "Gosh it's very hot in here, isn't it?" Kagome looked around and, seeing that there are no reporters around (let's just say she had developed a sixth sense to know whether there are any reporters around =p) she took off her oversized jacket. Sango, noticing this, fussed a bit to Kagome. Seeing that Kagome would not use the jacket again, she stood up, watched their surrounding and then sat down again. Miroku raised his eyebrows.
"You ARE Kagome Higurashi!" He whispered.
"Duh." Sango said, rolling her eyes. "Why would I lie to you? Anyways, you said something earlier about your best friend going to tag along tonight? Where is he?" Sango said, drinking her lemon squash. Miroku sighed.
"Don't ever count on him to be on time. Especially since he have a very tight schedule.."
"By the way, Miroku.." Kagome started. "You work in the world of entertainment too? What's your job?" She said politely. Miroku smiled.
"Oh, I'm a manager, secretary, plus a best friend of an actor. I'm like your Sango to him." He added, taking Sango's hand. This caused Sango to blushed a little. Kagome smiled.
"Who's the actor?" She asked again, sipping her iced green tea. Miroku grinned.
"Kagome-sama, you know him very well, I think." Kagome raised her eyebrows for two reasons. First, Miroku had called her 'Kagome-sama', as if he's one of her fans, and second, the actor who was his best friend was someone she's familiar with.
"Who is the actor?" Kagome asked again. "And if I know him well, how come I've never noticed you? An actor barely ever leave their secretary and manager.." Both Sango and Miroku grinned this time.
"Oh, that's because you're not close to him, Kagome." Sango said.
"You just KNOW him well, Kagome-sama." Miroku continued, still holding Sango's hand.
"Hmmmm," Kagome voiced. "I got a feeling you guys don't want to tell me who Miroku is working with.." She said.
"What's the purpose?" Sango said, fidgeting with her glass, "You're going to meet him soon anyway." Kagome sighed. Sango always loved to make her curious.
"When is he coming, anyway?" Kagome asked Miroku. Miroku shrugged but he began to look around him. That was, until a waitress came over to their table. The three young people looked at her. Her face was flushed with happiness, and her eyes wander around the three of them. Her sight finally landed on Kagome. She gave a slight whimper of joy.
"Oh my goodness!" She squealed softly. "It's Kagome Higurashi!" The three people on the table raised their eyebrows. (A/N It's a funny sight, really =p).
"Um. excuse me? Can we help you with something?" Sango said. The waitress suddenly came back to her senses and the color of red crept to her face.
"Y.. yes! A. an 'actor' is looking for you!" She stammered, putting too much energy on the word 'actor'. Miroku stood up.
"It must be him!" He said. He then mentioned the waitress to bring him to the 'actor' and was gone for a few minutes. Kagome sighed.
"I just wished that waitress wouldn't go shouting to the whole public that I'm here.. I don't think I have enough energy to escape the flood of reporters, especially with another actor, whoever it may be..." Sango sighed.
"I know it wasn't a good idea for you to take off your disguise..."
"Hey, what can I do? It's hot here!" Kagome protested. Just as the two of them began to think about the worst possibilities, Miroku came back. Behind him was his so-called-best-friend.
"Well Sango, Kagome-sama, meet my friend. I'm sure all of you know him well, especially you.. Kagome-sama. Well, Inu Yasha, why don't you sit down?"
Kagome looked up at the name. Inu Yasha?
And there he was, standing beside Miroku. His long, silver hair glistening with the light. His amber eyes looking at Kagome with a why-are-you-here look. He didn't even bother to disguised himself.
This... was Inu Yasha, alright...
Kagome sighed. She got a feeling this would be a long night...

"Yeah, I am. I've been shooting for that Romeo and Juliet thing nonstop for weeks! I haven't got a decent 7 hours sleep since I started taking the part of Juliet for that movie!" She complained to Sango. Sango sat beside her with a worried look on her face. Of all the people in the whole wide world, she was the one who knew best how tired and pressured Kagome really was. Kagome was just not a famous actress, she's also a raising singer! Ever since a year ago, Kagome had never taken a break longer than a week and when she's not taking a break, that meant she's either off acting, singing, interviewed, getting a picture taken, on a tour, meeting her fans, etc. etc.
"Do you want me to cancel the dinner tonight Ka..." Abruptly, Kagome's eyes shot opened.
"There you go again, Sango. How many times do I have to tell you that I will not let you cancel the dinner tonight?" She said kindly. Sango smiled but then frowned.
"Are you sure? You can use this night as a resting night..." Kagome smiled and shook her head.
"Naw. meeting your boyfriend and eating somewhere decent is also what I call a rest. I've been eating those instant foods lately, it's getting on my nerves. And besides, we should go now. You need to make yourself prepared for this dinner Sango. We'll transform you into a beautiful princess right on time for the dinner!" Kagome said, standing up and began to walk towards the exit door.
"Wait Kagome!" Sango shouted. Kagome turned around with a look that say 'what now'? Sango sighed for the hundredth time that day.
"You forgot to change back to your clothes, Kagome!" She called, causing Kagome to blushed deep red.
~*~*~*~* 1 Hour after That *~*~*~*~
"I still don't believe you talked me to wear these clothes, Kagome." Sango said exasperatedly the moment they got out of Kagome's car towards the restaurant they promised to meet Miroku. Kagome grinned. Sango was wearing one of Kagome's 'specially designed' clothes. It was a beautiful white strapless tank top that showed perfectly well of her curves. And for the skirt, she was wearing a short, glistening black skirt that contrasted neatly yet comfortably with her top. Simple as it may seemed, it looked great on Sango.. not to mention it showed a lot of her skin.
Unfortunately, this kind of situation is not the same for Kagome. She had to wear an oversized jacket and a very dark sunglasses to disguised herself. Considering her disguise, this was still a very light camouflage. However, if people pay attention to her, they'll still see how beautiful she really was.
"C'mon. You're meeting your boyfriend for goodness sake!" Kagome said, practically pushing Sango towards the door.
"Great. You can say that now, Kagome. Once you know what a pervert Miroku is.."
"Did somebody mentioned my name?" came a man's voice. Sango knew the voice very well. She gave a small smile as she turned around.
"Hey Miroku.." But instead of greeting her back, Miroku's jaw dropped a few inches from his face as he stared at Sango. Sango blushed deep red. Kagome was interestingly watching them.
'So this is this Miroku guy..' She thought to herself. 'Kind of cute..'
"W. What?" Sango mumbled. Miroku finally returned to his original self, as he smiled his famous smile. He took a few steps closer towards Sango. Kagome was now VERY interested.
"You look so very gorgeous tonight, Sango dear.." He said, sounding very convincing.
"Uh. um. thank y.. AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Sango shouted suddenly, causing Kagome's sunglasses to slipped to her nose.
SLAP!!!!!!
"DON'T YOU EVER DARE TO DO THAT AGAIN, PERVERT!!!" Sango shouted, breathing heavily. Sango's hand mark was now carved on Miroku's cheek. Fortunately, ... or unfortunately, Kagome's quick eyes saw what happened. Miroku had tried to touch.. a place where it is.. quite inappropriate...
Sango took a deep breath and looked at Kagome.
"Kagome.. Come on!" She said, dragging Kagome towards the door.
"Sangooooo, waiiiiit!" Came the babyish voice from her boyfriend. "Introduce me to your beautiful friend fiiiiiiiirst!"
~*~*~*~* LATER ON THAT EVENING *~*~*~*~
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?" Miroku shouted, causing Sango to reached over and closed his mouth.
"SHHHHHH! Are you crazy? Don't go shouting like that! What if there are reporters around?" She hissed. "And besides, you work in the entertainment world too, you don't have to act THAT surprised." She added. Miroku, however, still looked shocked.
"You mean.. THAT girl is Kagome Higurashi? The daughter of the famous Oscar-winning actress Yuki Higurashi? The famous actress/singer?" Miroku said, staring at Kagome. Earlier on her carrier, Kagome would have blushed, but now she had grown accustomed to it. Instead, Kagome just smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, nice to meet you Miroku. I didn't know you knew about my mother." Kagome said, as she poked her salad to her mouth. Miroku was giving her a look that said who-on-earth-doesn't-know-Yuki-Higurashi? Kagome decided to ignore it. "Gosh it's very hot in here, isn't it?" Kagome looked around and, seeing that there are no reporters around (let's just say she had developed a sixth sense to know whether there are any reporters around =p) she took off her oversized jacket. Sango, noticing this, fussed a bit to Kagome. Seeing that Kagome would not use the jacket again, she stood up, watched their surrounding and then sat down again. Miroku raised his eyebrows.
"You ARE Kagome Higurashi!" He whispered.
"Duh." Sango said, rolling her eyes. "Why would I lie to you? Anyways, you said something earlier about your best friend going to tag along tonight? Where is he?" Sango said, drinking her lemon squash. Miroku sighed.
"Don't ever count on him to be on time. Especially since he have a very tight schedule.."
"By the way, Miroku.." Kagome started. "You work in the world of entertainment too? What's your job?" She said politely. Miroku smiled.
"Oh, I'm a manager, secretary, plus a best friend of an actor. I'm like your Sango to him." He added, taking Sango's hand. This caused Sango to blushed a little. Kagome smiled.
"Who's the actor?" She asked again, sipping her iced green tea. Miroku grinned.
"Kagome-sama, you know him very well, I think." Kagome raised her eyebrows for two reasons. First, Miroku had called her 'Kagome-sama', as if he's one of her fans, and second, the actor who was his best friend was someone she's familiar with.
"Who is the actor?" Kagome asked again. "And if I know him well, how come I've never noticed you? An actor barely ever leave their secretary and manager.." Both Sango and Miroku grinned this time.
"Oh, that's because you're not close to him, Kagome." Sango said.
"You just KNOW him well, Kagome-sama." Miroku continued, still holding Sango's hand.
"Hmmmm," Kagome voiced. "I got a feeling you guys don't want to tell me who Miroku is working with.." She said.
"What's the purpose?" Sango said, fidgeting with her glass, "You're going to meet him soon anyway." Kagome sighed. Sango always loved to make her curious.
"When is he coming, anyway?" Kagome asked Miroku. Miroku shrugged but he began to look around him. That was, until a waitress came over to their table. The three young people looked at her. Her face was flushed with happiness, and her eyes wander around the three of them. Her sight finally landed on Kagome. She gave a slight whimper of joy.
"Oh my goodness!" She squealed softly. "It's Kagome Higurashi!" The three people on the table raised their eyebrows. (A/N It's a funny sight, really =p).
"Um. excuse me? Can we help you with something?" Sango said. The waitress suddenly came back to her senses and the color of red crept to her face.
"Y.. yes! A. an 'actor' is looking for you!" She stammered, putting too much energy on the word 'actor'. Miroku stood up.
"It must be him!" He said. He then mentioned the waitress to bring him to the 'actor' and was gone for a few minutes. Kagome sighed.
"I just wished that waitress wouldn't go shouting to the whole public that I'm here.. I don't think I have enough energy to escape the flood of reporters, especially with another actor, whoever it may be..." Sango sighed.
"I know it wasn't a good idea for you to take off your disguise..."
"Hey, what can I do? It's hot here!" Kagome protested. Just as the two of them began to think about the worst possibilities, Miroku came back. Behind him was his so-called-best-friend.
"Well Sango, Kagome-sama, meet my friend. I'm sure all of you know him well, especially you.. Kagome-sama. Well, Inu Yasha, why don't you sit down?"
Kagome looked up at the name. Inu Yasha?
And there he was, standing beside Miroku. His long, silver hair glistening with the light. His amber eyes looking at Kagome with a why-are-you-here look. He didn't even bother to disguised himself.
This... was Inu Yasha, alright...
Kagome sighed. She got a feeling this would be a long night...
