Inuyasha crossover Yu Yu Hakusho
Chapter 9: Televised
Since the day that Kurama approach the two ancient youkai regarding about Kagome, he could not seem to find hide nor sight of her anywhere at all. It was most probably their doing, he had tried begged them, pester them to allow him to see Kagome just once, however he was often told that they were in a meeting or that they were unavailable. Any other important things pertaining to their two companies' business deals were left to the subordinates. Kurama know for sure that if he were to try using his own youkai abilities to find Kagome, he would too come up empty handed and without any clues or results at all. And with his busy work schedule, he would have better luck getting private investigator to aid him.
He hated always hitting the end of the road with no new clues or results, however he was already threatened a few times by the two ancient youkai after his many countless calls regarding to Kagome. Kurama knows that even with Youko out to fight against the two, they would still end up losing if not, mortally wounded before dying. And yet if it were not for the human side that is Shuichi Minamino, with their emotional state, they were open prey to anyone and sometimes for the more drastic ones, they could end up dead. This was called the "Sin of Regret", they are very emotional beings, and it could be their death sentences with the way it distracted them so badly. Their kitsune side would have gone crazy with all the emotions, slightest of provocation and even the sight of other's own emotional state if the scene was right.
Kagome however, had taken the chance and opportunity to bring her career to new heights, apologizing to Sesshoumaru of the temporal responsibilities that he had given her, to take her mind off things. She had less sleep, being told to appear at the various auditions that she had to seat in. There were various reading sessions in which she was told to appear for to listen, to have a feel of what they were going to get on screen. Then there was the costuming department, she had told them to change certain factors to make it less noticeable to the youkai and other beings that knew of the real story behind the television series. There were of course the scripting that was requested to keep changing, to keep it as close to the book as possible, without the improvising and all. She was getting too involved, but she hated to see her novel, her story get butchered up by someone who wants to think up of clever lines and witty things that will change her story.
There were many who found it annoying that she was getting too involved, especially those scriptwriters and the ones giving art directions. She had the full support of the director, and producers who had requested to use her novel into a drama series. This drama was enough to exhaust Kagome as she worked with the director and producers directly, requesting to have a look through of everything, not wanting any surprises when it comes to her novel being televised. Though she was questioned countless of times how she was so imaginative and so attached to her story unlike others, but it was hard for her to explain but to smile and shrugged that it was like a waking dream. Even at the pre-taping of an interview that she was doing with the crew and cast of the show.
She was fearful at first but under the assurance of Shippo saying that he would be there, that it gave her the confidence. She had wanted the both of them to be there, but knowing Sesshoumaru, he was too busy and this was not the type of "social gathering" that he would be interested in making an appearance for with the media all being there. However there was of course another reason as to why she was fearful of appearing on television, and with Shippo's assurance she became more confident of herself.
Kurama however did not have a chance, if it were not for a radio channel that he was hearing on one of the days whilst driving, he would have never found out about what Kagome had achieved without him. It saddened him, but it gave him a clue of where she was, a lead as to how he could perhaps set up a chanced 'meet up' with her without the two other youkai being around her. He was in between of his emotions, unsure of many things in himself, and how her reaction would be when they were to meet again after so many years. Many questions pestered him that night as he drank himself to sleep, and those questions kept floating up in his mind even when in sleep.
He had already set his assistant in searching up on where she was scheduled to meet or her itineraries and the parties etc that were thrown for her. It was easier said than done with the precautions that were taken by the two youkai, but it was at least a lot easier for his private investigator when he was given the schedule about a few weeks later.
