Not All Fun and Games-Chapter 6 "The Decision"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Click.
"Hey Japan, it's 9am on this sunny Saturday! Thank you for choosing us for your music in the morning! I'm Hikari with JKLM, and here is BoA with-"
Kagome slammed the snooze button on her radio alarm and rolled in her sleep, trying to forget about the previous night's party. Miroku finally brought her home at midnight; she practically had to drag him by the ear because he wouldn't stop flirting with every single woman there.
"Would you please bear my child?" Still rang in her ears because she heard it so many times last night. Kagome shook her head slightly and suddenly sprang up in her bed.
"Oh Shit!!!" She cursed. Sesshoumaru's meeting was in half and hour! Jumping out of bed, within no time she arrived again at the same building where they had held the audition.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Well, look what the cat dragged in!" Kikyou smirked when she saw Kagome banging into the office, her hand over her heart and breathing heavily.
Kagome was about to flip her off when...
"Miss Higurashi, how nice of you to join us! Good to know everyone's here."
Kagome glanced at the clock in the room, 9:30 on the spot. Her muscles finally relaxed, she knew directors hated people who were late, actors in particular.
She then looked up and saw everyone in the room, the bitch, of course, Inuyasha asleep on a sofa, Kouga smiling at her, Rin and her mother sitting on chairs, Sango writing something in her notepad, and a little boy with chestnut hair who she wasn't quite familiar with. He was playing with some toy cars in the corner of the room. A man who kind of resembled him sat on a chair as well, presumably his father.
Sango looked up from her notebook and said, "Hey Kagome, glad you're here. Now everybody, we will be handing out the contracts for you to sign. Your legal guardian will sign for you if you are not over the age of 16."
After all the legal stuff was done with. Sesshoumaru cleared his throat.
"Now, what you two ladies were probably waiting for, the decision of the part of the girlfriend." Kagome held her breath. He continued. "After meeting with you two and showing casting both your audition videos, we have made up our mind."
Sango piped in without looking up. "It was a very hard decision."
Kikyou smiled a wide smile, almost as if they had already called her name.
Sesshoumaru nodded. "We've reached the decision of Kagome as the girlfriend and Kikyou as the ex-girlfriend."
The smile on Kikyou's face melted instantly. "WHAT!!! How can that-that-?"
Kagome was waiting for another insult, but it never came. She looked up to see Inuyasha had already woken up, and was holding Kikyou tightly. Her face was buried to his chest, and she was sobbing uncontrollably.
Kagome felt kinda bad, but that feeling left after a millisecond, and she was extremely pleased with what she got. She REALLY wasn't expecting this part, so it was just as much a shock to her as Kikyou.
Kikyou pulled away from Inuyasha for a second. Her face looked hideous. (AN: doesn't it always?) Mascara was running down her face, and snot was running from her nose like a tap. It was quite sickening actually.
"Why? *sob* Why HER?" Kikyou bellowed, pointing at Kagome, without looking at her.
Sesshoumaru sighed. Actresses, always think their fake tears always get them what they want. "We apologize Kikyou, if this wasn't the part you wanted, but Kagome was just much more suited for the part, that's all."
Sango stopped scribbling and looked up. "The ex-girlfriend has lots of lines, too. If that's what you're worrying abou-"
"That's not it!" Kikyou butted in before Sango could finish. "Inu and I were MEANT to be together on screen! You're going to regret the mistake of choosing her and not me!"
With that she turned around, dragged Inuyasha by the arm and stormed out of the room.
"What's her problem?" Asked the little boy by the cars. He finally turned to look at the crowd, and Kagome instantly recognised his cute face. He was the boy in all those Hot Wheels commercials! She had to resist from going over there and hugging him right that second.
"Nothing, Shippo." Sesshoumaru assured him. The little boy nodded and went back to his cars. "Now, everyone, we had a delay in our schedule so filming will begin in two days at 6 am, not today. The location will be...I forgot. Sango?"
"In Myoto." She growled and went back to her notepad.
Sesshoumaru continued. "Right, it's quite a small village to the North of Japan, 'bout a day's drive."
Kagome screeched. "What?!!! I can't make it there by 6 am, that means I have to wake up at..." She started counting with her fingers.
Kouga shook his head. "No Kag, (when'd he give her a nickname?) We have trailers. We will be getting transportation there."
"Ohhhhhhh..." Kagome was embarrassed, but glad neither Sango nor Sesshy ran down the hall to catch up to Kikyou, telling her she could have the part she wanted. Even though that would be a bit extreme.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"WOW! Look at this place!!" Kagome yelled after just being shown her trailer. The insides were like a tiny apartment, with a queen-sized bed, a bathroom, a bright makeup counter, a desk, and a closet/dresser. It all looked so fancy, not to mention there was a gold star on her door with "Kagome Higurashi" imprinted on it.
Lucky for her she hasn't had to meet up with Kikyou or Inuyasha yet.
Leaving her friends and family was tough on her, because she often got homesick easily. But this was her dream, and you have to sacrifice stuff sometimes to achieve it. She would be staying here for a few months, to finish off the movie.
A private tutor would be hired to keep her up to date with homework and tests. She would also have to email everything to her teacher, just when she thought she could escape from school.
Ayu, Mayu, and her curly haired friend wished her luck when she left, constantly reminding her to get the autographs. Souta just nodded when Kagome said bye, he was too wrapped up in his video game at the time. At dinnertime he would probably say, "Mom, where'd Kagome go?"
She giggled and jumped onto her bed. It was so cushiony she fell asleep right away. Tomorrow morning would be the first day of shooting...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Knock. Knock.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Who is it?" Kagome asked groggily. She glanced over at her bedside clock. 5:02am. She didn't want to get up, it was SOOOOOOO comfortable.
"MAKEUP!!!"
Makeup, at 5 o'clock in the morning? This could take some, no a lot, of getting used to. Kagome pulled herself out of her bed and practically sleepwalked to the door. When she opened it she noticed it was still dark out.
"Hello dear. I'm Kaede! Nice to meet you!" The woman looked to be in around her 30's, and she was carrying a LARGE makeup case in one hand. The other shook Kagome's hand.
Kagome yawned. "Nice to meet you. Just lemme go brush my teeth."
After a while Kagome was sitting in front of her makeup counter, with many light bulbs creating a square around her mirror.
Kaede opened up her giant case. "Let's see here, today Sesshoumaru is going to shoot the high school scene, so let me see...just around your age than. You can sleep if you want while I do this, it's easier with your eyes closed."
When she turned around Kagome was already asleep in her chair. Kaede pulled out her all her materials and got to work...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Kagome, wake up! I'm done!" Kaede said, shaking Kagome by the shoulders.
"Hm? What? Oh!" She looked gorgeous! She had on fake eyelashes, black eyeliner, some eyeshadow, and the nicest lipstick colour! Her hair was in a French braid. "Thank you SO much! I LOVE IT!"
Kaede nodded, while packing up. "No problem, I'll be on set almost always, I'll fix your make up and hair before each shot. Your dress is on the bed. Sesshoumaru wants to shoot this scene in warehouse 514. Be there by 8!"
With that Kaede left in a hurry, and Kagome looked down at the dress on the bed. It was a spaghetti strap light pink dress, which poofed out at the bottom like Kagome's previous dress. She quickly tried it on, and it fit like a dream.
'I wonder when they took my measurements?' She pondered to herself, before looking at the clock again. It was 7:15. 'Too early', she thought.
Deciding to quickly look through the script to practise her lines, she picked up the thick script book. The cover read, 'Untitled.'
Kagome hasn't had the chance to read this at all, since it was just handed to her last night by Sango, who told her to review it a bit before the shoot.
There wasn't a need to really memorize the lines, because between each shot Kagome could flip through her lines, not to mention there were run-throughs beforehand. Kagome sat down on her bed and started flipping through the script.
"Yadda... yadda...yadda... WHAT?!!!!!!!" Kagome's face turned bright red as she slammed the book shut.
She couldn't believe it! Who wrote this script anyways? Inuyasha and her had to make out, or at least pretend to, in the last scene of the high school shot! No wonder Kikyou was so mad! She wouldn't want another woman kissing her boyfriend, even if it were just acting!
To make matters worse, Kagome's never acted this kind of thing before. What if she messed up? What if-? There were too many possibilities! Glancing back at her clock, it was already 7:46!!! She'd better run or she'll get in more trouble! Bursting out her trailer door, she made her way to warehouse 514...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
