2. Cameras Rolling: Action!
Kagome sat next to the campfire, eating her dinner and contemplating how to persuade Inuyasha into letting her go home more often to shoot for the film. She finished her dinner and said, "Inuyasha, there's something I want to talk to you about. It's kind of important." Inuyasha looked over at her and asked, "What is it?" Kagome took a deep breath and thought, 'It can't be that bad. The worst he'll say is no. But...I wanna be in the movie. It's based off of my story so I have a right to play the lead part!'
Inuyasha was beginning to get concerned. Kagome had said it was important and now she wasn't talking. He was about to ask her what was wrong when she said, "Inuyasha I want to go back to my time more often. It'll only be for six months and I'll still come here at least once a week. What do you say?" Inuyasha thought, 'Six months! Is she crazy?!' Inuyasha shouted, "No!"
Kagome sighed and realized she had been definitely been expecting that. 'I want to be the star actress, it's my story! This isn't fair!' Kagome started crying out of frustration and anger at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha leaned forward and found his suspicions were correct: Kagome was crying. Inuyasha growled, "Stop crying! What are you crying for?!"
Kagome looked up and yelled, "I'm crying because you are such a big stupid jerk! Now I won't get to play the part and some stupid bimbo who doesn't even look like me will get to play the part and the whole story will be totally wrong! It's my story! I want to be the star actress! And besides that, we need the money for the shrine! But no! You have to be a complete ass!" With that Kagome burst into fresh sobs.
Inuyasha stared at Kagome. He hadn't understood most of what she had said. 'Damn! I hate seeing her cry! Maybe I should let her go home for this thing...whatever it is.' Inuyasha yelled, "All right! You can go home for whatever this is!"
Kagome looked up in surprise. 'Did he actually say what I think he just said?' Kagome asked, "What? Really?" Inuyasha said, "If it will get you to stop crying!" Kagome beamed and jumped on Inuyasha, squeezing him in a big hug, saying happily, "Arigato Inuyasha!"
***2 weeks later***
It was the first day of shooting. There were cameras and wires everywhere around Kagome's shrine. The producers figured that it was best to shoot the scenes at the shrine at the actual shrine. For the scenes in the Sengoku Jidai they would use green screens for the background and overall surroundings.
Kagome was very excited. They were due to start shooting any minute. They were people putting make-up on her and making sure her hair was looking good. The producers had wanted Kagome to actually jump into the well but she had told them that she wouldn't and they would have to use special effects anyway.
Kagome looked at the outfit she was wearing. It was the same exact outfit she had been wearing on her 15th birthday. Her grandpa had even wrapped up that creepy hand again and they would be using it in the scene. Kagome had given the producers a copy of the picture that she had taken of her friends so they could find people who looked like them. Kagome would be in charge of deciding who was best for the part.
Kagome gulped nervously as the director said they were getting ready to start. She had only needed to glance at the script. The director was going to directly follow what she had written so she already knew exactly what she was going to say and do.
Kagome sat in front of her grandpa and tried to quell the butterflies she felt in her stomach. She readied herself and was completely prepared when the director shouted, "Action!"
***6 months later***(A/N: I know movies take forever to make but I didn't want it to take too long otherwise they might have finished collecting the jewel shards by then.)
Kagome was bone-tired. She had finished shooting the movie and was very proud of her work. She had also had to come to the Sengoku Jidai whenever she wasn't shooting. So now she could get more sleep instead of having to worry about shooting.
The movie was due to be released to the public in two weeks. The premiere was in two days. She was so excited for it. There would be big stars there to see the premiere and she would get to wear a fancy expensive dress and get all dolled up for it. She smiled at her reflection in the mirror and shouted happily, excited that there would be a movie all about her life.
It was the night of the premiere. Kagome had her hair up in a very fancy style with little accessories in her hair. She was wearing a fancy, sparly blue dress that exposed her shoulders, her back, and a little of her chest. She even had sparkly blue shoes and earrings to match the dress.
Kagome gazed in wonder at all the things in the limo. She had been in a limo a lot over the past six months but it still surprised her sometimes. The limo was slowing down and now it had come to a stop. The door of the limo opened and she saw the driver offer a hand to help her out of the car. She took it gratefully and stepped out of the car. Her family hadn't been able to make it tonight so they were to see it on the first day it became public. They already had the tickets for that day.
As Kagome stepped out of the limo a great many flashes went off from cameras. Kagome waved to people as she walked down the red carpet. 'This is SO cool! I can't believe it! I must be dreaming!' Some reporters were talking with Kagome and asking her a bunch of question which she answered excitedly.
At the living room of the Higurashis' the Higurashis sat in front of the tv, watching Kagome step out of the limo. Just then they heard the door open and glanced away from the tv for a moment to see Inuyasha come into the room, then their gaze returned to the tv.
Inuyasha looked at the box that the Higurashis were looking at and gasped in surprise. 'That's Kagome! She looks beautiful!' Inuyasha sat down and watched the tv with the rest of the Higurashis. He knew enough not to attack the tv or to talk to it because Kagome had explained to him all about it. So Inuyasha just watch with rapt attention.
They all heard some reporters ask Kagome some questions. One of them was, "How did you feel when you found out your story won the contest?" Kagome smiled and said, "I was so shocked at first I didn't believe it. Then I became really excited." Another reporter asked, "How did you feel when you were shooting the film?" Kagome, still smiling, said, "Well, at first I was really nervous. I mean, who wouldn't be? But then as I grew used to it I was just excited and happy, and completely exhausted." Kagome and the reporters all laughed at that and the reporter who had asked that question said, "I bet you were! Well, seeing as the premiere is going to start any minute we don't want to hold you up." Kagome smiled and waved as she made her way to the doors, while all the while, cameras were going off.
Mrs. Higurashi murmured, "She looks gorgeous! She must be so happy right now!" Everyone else nodded except Inuyasha, who was not exactly sure what this premiere thingy was.
Kagome sat in her front row seat, smiling because she was so excited. The director was standing at a podium giving a speech about how he wanted to thank all the actors and actresses, and everyone else in the crew. He said, "I especially want to thank Miss Higurashi Kagome for writing such a wonderful story and playing the lead role." At that everyone in the room clapped, causing Kagome to blush and smile, murmuring, "Arigato!" The director said, "And without further ado, I give you: ' A Feudal Fairytale'!" Everyone clapped then grew hushed as the lights went off and the opening appeared on the screen.
As the movie went on Kagome laughed at some parts and almost cried at others because it brought back the memories of what had really happened. Kagome thought when she first saw the Inuyasha in the movie pinned to the tree that the actor really looked almost exactly like Inuyasha. The same went for Sango, Miroku, and Shippo. For Kilala they had made a realistic robot and used special effects for when Kilala transformed. The setting of the Sengoku Jidai had come out really well and looked exactly like it did in real life. Kagome smiled at the end of the movie, completely satisfied with the way it had turned out.
