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, Kagome is once again in modern-day Japan, discussing with her friends Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka the events that she had missed. After showing much interest in a certain actress named Yure Takeshi, the three girls are shocked to find out that the famous Takeshi would be filmed at the Higurashi Shrine, AKA: Kagome's place of residence.

Yure was standing on a bus with a firm grip on the metal handle hanging above her from the ceiling. She didn't dare let go -- falling could risk getting a bruise or a scar or something of the sort. Normally, she wouldn't mind, but when she left her house, the crew had just finished putting on her make-up and such. Said process was one she deeply loathed. Heaven forbid she would have to go through with it again.
"Next stop: Higurashi Shrine," she heard the calm voice over the intercom say, "Next stop: Higurashi Shrine." I guess that's my stop, then, hm? She asked herself as she pulled the cord that ran along the metal wall above the window. When the bus stopped, she tightened her grasp on the handle so that the sudden lack of movement wouldn't knock her over and she pushed her way off of the vehicle, looking up at the stairs before her. Yure made her way up the steps but, before she could admire the architecture, she was bombarded by several members of the crew who were there to film and such.
"Takeshi, why are you so late!" She heard her romantic interest (in the movie, at least) ask, "Why do you insist on riding the bus with the normal people while you could have showed up in a limosine like me? We could have shared, you know.." When the group of people reached the top of the stairs, Yure turned to her brown haired co-worker with a cold glare that made the Winter night feel ashamed, "You're wasting your breath. Save it for the movie, will ya?"
"She sure doesn't seem very nice..." Sota muttered, putting another cracker into his mouth. "Sota, behave yourself," his mother instructed, "After all, she's our guest. Besides, she might be tired from travelling and such -- it's not like she just arrived from across the street, right?" "Wait," Sota said, turning around, "She's not staying with us, is she?" "Well..." she started, "I'm not exactly sure what Grampa told them, but making a movie does take a long time..."
"I'm done with cleaning the mini-shrine, mom!" Kagome said as she came into the house donning a pair of jeans and a t-shirt whose sleeves have been tucked into themselves. "Oh, good," her mother said, "And just in time, too! They're here!" Kagome looked over and saw several people crowding around who she assumed to be the famous Yure Takeshi of whom she had just heard. "Oh, good," she smiled, "Now we don't have anything to worry about, then!" "I dunno about that, sis.." Sota doubted, calling his sister's attention. "Huh!" "I mean, wouldn't it be great if InuYasha decided to show up while they were filming in the mini-shrine? That'd be aweso--" Kagome quickly clapped her hand over the boy's mouth.
"Sota, don't say anything like that!" the school girl nearly yelled, "You might jinx it! What if he actually does decide to burst in through the well in the middle of filming! It'd be horrible! Who knows what they'll do!" "Alright, alright!" The boy cried with a muffled voice before he managed to pulled Kagome's death grip off of his face, "I won't say it again! ... Or will I..?" "You will not!" "Hey, look, you haven't seen her, yet, have you?" "No.." Kagome said, the volume of her voice lowering. "Well, the crowd is parting now. You can kinda see her now. Hey, she's looking over here!" The girl turned her head a leaned out the door a little to get a slightly better view.
"It's Sango!"
