Night Calls
Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha, nor do I own its characters. I do, however, own Yure Takeshi and the events revolving around her -- these include her circumstances in the feudal era as well as the movies mentioned in the story ( and to the best of my knowledge, these movies do not exist ).
Summary: There was one other survivor from the Demon Slayer Village, but she wasn't there during the decimation. Where was she? More of a when. Somehow, she found herself in "present-day Japan" and eighteen years later, she returns to the time in which she truly belongs -- certainly, this wasn't in the devious plan of the nefarious Naraku as well! Or was it?
Rated for safety. And what kind of writer would I be if I didn't ask for a response from the readers?
In the last chapter, a woman had a strange dream of the massacre of the Demon Slayer Village. She wakes up and writes in her journal about having similar dreams where she is the child; however, from the dream she had just experienced, she got a feeling that something had just happened. Wait. She knew about the Demon Slayer Village?

"Yure Takeshi?"
Months later, Kagome Higurashi, the 15-year-old school girl with a double-life, was once again walking with her three friends and trying to catch up on recent news in what most people would call "present day Japan." With her more and more frequent sprees in the feudal era, it was getting harder for her to keep up with everything.
"Kagome," Eri asked as she brushed h few strands of black hair behind her yellow headband, "How could you not know who Yure Takeshi is? She's only one of the greatest actresses to hit the big screen!" Y'know, she sings, too," Ayumi added, reaching back to tighten her barrett a little bit, "She sang so beautifully in The Silent Blade!" "The Silent Bladee?" Kagome repeated, "But wasn't that an action movie? I thought you hated action movies, Ayumi..." "I do," she said, "But Yure Takeshi is such a great actress, I just had to see it! She usually only does action movies with touches of mystery, horror, and romance, but they're so compelling!"
"And it's so wonderful how her name plays out!" Yuka giggled before Kagome turned her attention to her short-haired friend. "Yuka, you too?" "Well, of course!" She said, looking at Kagome as if she was almost insane, "I mean, how could anyone not? Anyway, as I was saying, her name is perfect for what she does." "Yure?" Kagome asked, "As in night?" "Right," Yuka nodded, "She's mostly known for her night scenes in movies. Whether they're romantic, action-filled, whatever. Yure-hime is amazing! In love scenes, the moonlight hits her eyes just right to add the perfect touch of romance! In action scenes, she manages to have the shadows fall on her just right to make the image so full of suspense and--" "Yuka!"
Yuka looked over to the girl who had called her name. She laughed a little as Eri continued, "Please, you're going a little obsessed. Did you just call her Yure-hime...?" Yuka blinked a few times in silence before raising her brows and smiling with an embarassed blush on her cheeks, "Whoops, I guess I did."
"Ayumi..?" Kagome asked, "What brought this topic up, anyway? What about her?" "Oh, right!" The girl exclaimed, "She's coming to this area to film a movie!" "She is!" Yuka exclaimed, grabbing her friend's collar. A little shaken, Ayumi's eyes widened as she managed to pull her collar from the grasp of the fan girl, "Y-yes...! The movie is supposed to take place in a medieval sort of era -- all fantasy-ish with demons and stuff. What better place than here?" "Oh, that...?" Kagome muttered in a voice barely audible. "Huh?" Eri turned her attention back to Kagome, "What do you know of it?"
A little hesitant on the account of Yuka's predicted response, Kagome answered, "Grampa was saying something about allowing some people to film on our property for some movie -- I didn't really pay attention to it, though.." "WHAT!"
Author's Note(s): Please forgive the short chapters. They'll get better, I promise! In any case, I'll try to have the characters as IC (in character) as possible; however, I can't guarantee anything since I've never been really good at doing so. TT
So, I hope you enjoy it. If not, I thank you for spending your time to read at least this far. If you have, I hope you'll stick with it 'til the very end.
