9. The woes of Kagome
348 Words
The blue contacts were uncomfortable, and at times made it difficult to focus her gaze. The wig was hot, and the long strands of (fake) hair distracted her greatly – there was a good reason why she had decided to keep her hair short. The skirt was the worst of it all, however. It was so… so…
Short.
Mitsuo, who had been complaining the day before how his furry dog ears were silly, was now trembling as he laughed out loud at both Satsuki's obvious embarrassment and at the costume she was wearing. Narita Ken had a predatory smirk on his lips, eerily fitting his current guise of the demon lord 'Sesshoumaru'.
"Nice legs," he calmly complimented, his eyes keenly brushing over the long toned limbs and appreciating what they saw.
The blush on the young woman's cheeks deepened as she glared at the actor.
"Let's just get this over with," she said curtly, obviously irritated.
"Alright, ready?" director Takahashi intoned. "'Sesshoumaru' will threaten 'Kagome', who will be saved by 'Inuyasha'. Places! Aaaand… Action!"
Kagome's fearful eyes were trained on the predatory demon who was slowly but surely advancing on her, a cold, cruel smile on his lips and his deadly claws ready to strike. She wanted nothing more but to run, but the fear was weighing on her legs, making them unable to obey her screaming mind. She was alone and helplessly rooted to her spot.
And then, Inuyasha was there. In a swift move, he snatched the girl out of the harm's way. Carrying her casually over one shoulder, he leaped into the air to get away from Sesshoumaru.
Feeling a cool breeze on her buttocks, Satsuki instantly realised that she had just managed to flash her underwear for the whole crew. Crying out in mortification, she covered her burning face in her hands while she fervently prayed for the ground to swallow her.
Ken's eyebrow arched delicately as the corner of his lip curled up in a slight smile. The sudden flash had indeed not managed to escape his keen eyes.
Pink.
Now that was unexpected.
