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, Yure makes it to the Higurashi Shrine about the same time Kagome finished up with the preparation of the arrival. After undoing some jinxing (courtesy of Sota), she finally managed to catch a glimpse of the actress. Wait…Sango!

"It's Sango!"
The two words managed to stick out from the dull roar given off by the cast and crew, causing Yure's eyes to widen. Sango? She asked herself as several images of an infant girl filled her mind. That little girl from the village?
Stepping away from the crowd, Yure was followed by a couple of camera men before she shook them off within a moment. When she got to the three Higurashi residents alone, she bowed deeply, "Thank you very much for allowing me to stay with you, as well as letting us film here." "It's just you who's staying?" Higurashi asked. As Yure stood up straight, she nodded once and smiled lightly, "Yes. The gaffers, camera-men, most of the actors, the directors, and everyone else all live relatively close to the area, so it's just me. I hope the producers didn't force you to let me stay or anything and I hope nothing we do is going to disturb the shrine or anything. I heard we're going to be using the mini-shrine a lot, so..." "Takeshi!" They heard someone from the crowd call. "Excuse me," uttered the actress as she gave the three a shallow bow before turning and returning to the larger group.
"Well, at least she's polite," Sota started before he turned to his sister, "What do you think, Kagome?" Kagome said nothing. Instead, she merely kept her eyes on the actress who had just walked away from the three. "Kagome?" her mother asked, "What's wrong? You look as if you've just seen a ghost." "I bet she's star struck," Sota said before Kagome shook her head. "It's nothing," she lied. She's almost exactly like Sango... Kagome told herself as she turned her gaze back to the woman who had just smacked the brown-haired actor across the face. The scene itself gave her a strong reminder of Sango when reacting to Miroku's advances. I don't know why it feels so unlikely... she thought,
But Yure couldn't be Sango's reincarnation...can she?
"So, we'll go around the area tomorrow to get our bearings and then we'll start filming on Friday," the director told the two actors, one of whom was looking around the place as if she wasn't paying attention, "And then, I'm hoping that, by the end of the month, we should be able to move on to the next setting. If we're lucky--" The director stopped when he realized that Yure wasn't listening. "Takeshi, are you paying attention?" "Huh? Oh, yeah, sure," Yure muttered, still not really paying attention, "Bearings tomorrow, filming on Friday, move to next setting at end of month, and with luck, we'll have the movie done by the end of the year. Got it." With that, she walked away and Juro looked at the director. "You never said anything about being finished by the end of the year, did you?" "I didn't," the director said as he watched the actress wander about before disappearing behind a corner, "But she's right. That's exactly what I was going to say." "Full of mystery, isn't she?" "Mm-hm."
