Chapter 3: Chance at Stardom
Inu-Yasha sighed, his ears twitching in annoyance. For near an hour, Shippou had been bothering him. The other Guardian's had left with their charges and Yuka and Kagome had headed to Kagome's house. Yuka was to spend the night. Inu-Yasha groaned.
"Of all days!! Why can't you wait until Yuka took her kurusi, huh, Kagome?" He asked the bored girl. She was searching through the shelves of movies and groaning herself.
"Stupid, corny, annoying, weird, pointless..." Kagome named off what she thought of each movie she saw. Yuka was currently searching out the Romance films, though Shippou was right beside Inu-Yasha. "Well, are you going to tell me, dog-breath?" Shippou fumed and cowered when Inu-Yasha raised his hand.
The Guardian smirked and let his hand fall, popping his knuckles and laying back in the air.
"Bakayarou..." Inu-Yasha muttered, sighing as he pretended to fall asleep. Shippou wasn't fooled though and poked his friend mercilessly. His own fox- like ears twitched softly as he rounded the 'sleeping' Guardian. Shippou gave up.
"Fine! I'll just ask Miroku about why we've been chosen for these jobs!" Inu-Yasha's eye opened a wink and then closed again. The kid was trying to bait him.
"I bet you I already know why anyways! I remember something about sins, am I right? Because of the sins we've committed we're put to work as Guardians and however many sins we've committed, we have that many lifetimes!!!" Shippou laughed proudly, knowing somehow that he was right.
Inu-Yasha said nothing, looking down at Kagome in his minds eye. The girl was beautiful and looked like Kikyo, though she had neither the heart or soul of the wretched Guardian. Inu-Yasha told himself. Kagome would never know if he admired her, so it was his own secret.
Yuka rounded the corner, her hand having only one movie, to Kagome's surprise. Kagome furrowed her brow and walked over to her.
"What did you find? Tenshi Noyo Koi?" Kagome sighed, it looked to be another sap movie, though she wouldn't argue with Yuka, not after school today.
Inu-Yasha scoffed when he saw the title. 'One of the few movies that are true about us...' He spied the director on the back. 'Kaede Minamodo, so she remembers being a Guardian, eh? I wonder how the old bat is doing?' He thought to himself, examining the cover and growling in frustration.
It was about Kikyo and her life, thought the actress didn't look like Kikyo, at all. The bell on the movie rental door rang, alerting the owner of someone coming in. Inu-Yasha's growl raised several pitches.
Shippou turned to him, raising an eyebrow. The fox demon of another life shook his head. "What are you so upset about?" He asked, looking at who came in. A young woman, who looked similar to Kikyo, though not as much as Kagome. The woman looked about 27 years old and she was dressed in rich clothing. She saw Kagome and her eyes widened, she walked past everyone in the store, near fighting to get to Kagome.
"You! Girl, with the long hair!" The woman cried and Kagome turned around, waiting. The woman caught up with her and glanced over her. A smile graced the woman's lips.
"You look exactly like Kikyo! I'll just have to find someone for Inu-Yasha now!" Kagome gave the woman a blank expression, what in all the hells was she talking about?
"Oh, sorry! My name is Kaede Minamodo! I'm casting a new movie, though this one I have more money for! It'll be much better than 'Tenshi Noyo koi'! Will you please come outside with me!" It was more of a statement than a question and Kagome willingly complied, curious to as why this woman was fussing over her.
"Okay let me start over. I'm casting for a movie, and I'd like you to try for the part, would you? I have my card here." Kaede pulled out a small business card and slapped it into Kagome's waiting hands.
"Why me though? It's not like I'm some star-light beauty!" Kagome confessed, blushing with embarrassment. Kaede looked her over and then looked at something in the corner of her eye. She pointed slightly to her right.
"That man thinks you are!" Kaede whispered. Kagome turned her head ever so slightly, seeing a young man looking her up and down, grinning like an idiot. Kagome sighed.
"Maybe he does, but I don't think I'm up to this!" Kagome said, returning the business card and walking away. Inu-Yasha cheered, ignoring the comments of Totosai, Kaede's Guardian. "You ungrateful little runt! Kaede is helping the girl! She knows that you're Kagome's Guardian as well you know! Are you listening to me?!" Totosai screamed and gave up slowly, realizing that his shouts weren't going to pierce Inu-Yasha's mind.
Kaede followed Kagome back into the store as she waited for Yuka. Kaede tried to plead with her. "Please! You can get anything you want if you'll just try for the part and make it! I know you'll make it! Money, food, clothing, anything you want, just name it! I can make you a star!!" Kagome's brow furrowed when she heard money.
Her family was low on money right now, with Grandpa going to the hospital all the time. They had bills to pay and food to buy, extra money, like allowance wasn't given out because they didn't have enough to spare. Even renting a movie was a rare treat and Yuka had paid for half of it.
"I'll consider it. My name is Kagome Higurashi." Kagome stuck out her hand, if it would help her family, she'd do anything.
~^~~^~^~^~^~^~^
Inu-Yasha gaped, she had actually said yes!!! This wasn't fair! Now he was going to have to deal with Totosai? How could this be? Shippou was once again poking his friend in annoyance. It wasn't helping Inu-Yasha's thoughts.
"Wow! Now you can get any guy you want! Hojo will be totally in love with you!" Yuka laughed, stuffing her mouth with caramel popcorn. Kagome shrugged, sighing again and pulling her hair back into a bun.
"I don't know, maybe I shouldn't have done it. I mean I still have to study for exams and all that! I probably shouldn't be doing this, when will I have the time?" Kagome settled back down on the floor next to her friend. Yuka shrugged, still munching on the old-looking popcorn.
Inu-Yasha glared down at the girls and then at Shippou, his charge was trying to dissuade Kagome in her decision to quit! Didn't they know how bossy Kaede would be? How mean and spiteful if you angered her? No! Though they would find out soon enough.
Shippou poked Inu-Yasha, groaning.
"I'm bored Inu-chan! Play with me! Do something other than sitting there and sighing or growling!" The Guardian's requests were ignored. Inu-Yasha sat stone still, mumbling and random names came out.
"Kaede... Totosai... I was dead..." Shippou wrinkled his nose at the white haired Angel. Were real angel's supposed to be this vulgar?
"If you change your mind now, that Lady will be furious! Wonder what her temper is like?" Yuka said softly, watching as the 'Kikyo' on the screen tossed her hair over her shoulder. Yuka frowned as Kagome continued with her own mutterings, why was she so worried about this?
"Kagome, just shut up! You have a chance at stardom! You hear that? People cheering your name, your picture in magazines, on billboards, in Newspapers! Your name in lights, your face on the movie screen! Can't you see it? Don't you hear it calling you?" Yuka asked as if she was in a dream.
The girl twirled around as if some hot guy was holding her. Her grin widened even more when another thought came to mind.
"There's also the chance of you meeting one of those hot actors you like! What if you get the part and you're in the same movie?! Oh, wouldn't that be a dream?" Yuka sighed in happiness and settled back down to watch the movie.
Kagome wrinkled her nose. 'Stardom? There is a chance, but why does my heart say I shouldn't take it? '
A/n: Well, what do you think? A twist! My, I may actually finish this! Wouldn't that be a shock?! Lol. Oh, yeah! Review responses!
D.I.T: I'm saving the explanations for a later chapter though it will be soon! Shippou and Sango didn't give me much trouble when I was thinking about it, though Kikyo and Inu-Yasha did... I figured it out though today! I know exactly what I plan to do! *mutters to self* Oops, still responding, dumb me! Yura's Guardian? I wasn't sure who to put, I kept thinking, who does Inu-Yasha have a grudge against? A lot of people, though I think, I may know who to have. Alright, hope you enjoy this chapter! Ja ne!
A/N: Konichiwa!!! Genki desu ka? I'm learning more Japanese now!! Lol, I had already known 'konichiwa', but anyways, I'm going to try and use more Japanese in my fic's okay? Alright, on to the chapter! Duh, duh, duh, duuunnn!
