Chapter 9: "LIGHTS...CAMERA...ACTION!"
"LIGHTS...CAMERA...ACTION!"
Kagome sat on the ground in front of a tree with bruises and cuts all over her pretty girlish face. She had tears cascading down her cheeks and she was drenched from the curtains of rain falling down on her. She, of course, was in her boy disguise. An eerie shadow fell on her and she looked up weakly to see Shippo standing in front of her with a hard cruel expression.
"Stupid, poor punk…can't even defend yourself huh?" Shippo sneered. Behind Shippo stood Sesshoumaru with his usual blank expression.
"Don't hurt him…the poor deserve our sympathy Shippo-kun." Sesshoumaru said in a monotone voice. He was attempting to show emotion and failing miserably.
Kagome sniffled and looked up at Shippo's cruel face with large doe eyes. Shippo's stern face cracked and he crouched in front of Kagome urgently. "Did I hurt you Kagome! I'm Sowy!" Shippo yelled hugging the confused girl. The rain abruptly stopped and Koharu stormed onto the makeshift set.
"WRONG! WRONG! You're a terrible actor Shippo! You're two dimensional personality is going to make this production suck!" Koharu shrieked like a banshee. Kagome patted Shippo's head with a kind smile and then left the set where Sesshoumaru held a crying Shippo.
Kagome strolled around and came upon Inuyasha between two buildings with no shirt and he was toweling his long black hair. Kagome blinked and felt her cheeks heat up a little. Inuyasha looked up at her and grinned.
"How'd your scene go?" asked Inuyasha. Kagome gave a noncommittal shrug. "Mine just ended, Koharu said I did well, I think this whole lonely king deal is my new thing." Inuyasha said with an arrogant smirk.
Kagome blinked up at him and her brows furrowed in thought. "But…what's wrong with staying the way you are? I thought you were just fine before…" Kagome said softly. Inuyasha's eyes widened and his head ducked making the towel shadow his face. 'She…likes me for who I am?' Inuyasha thought and felt a thick lump form in his throat and a blush spread across his face.
They heard cheering suddenly so they followed it to a side door to see the shooting of Bankotsu and Kouga's scene in the gymnasium. The two watched as the cousins played basketball as usual but instead of the sports announcer there was a narrator for the movie. Inuyasha got bored and turned to leave when there was a gasp among all of the extras in the crowd. Out on the court was Kouga laying on the ground and clutching his shin in pain.
A magical stretcher appeared out of no where (A/N: o.o;) and Kouga was on it and staring at a teary eyed Bankotsu.
"I can't play without you Kouga!" Bankotsu cried passionately. Kouga gave him a weak smile and cupped his cheek with one hand.
"I have faith in you Ban, I'll be fine…you just go play your heart out!"
"I'll win for you Kouga!"
Kagome and Inuyasha sweat dropped. "How corny!" They said together. They left the gym and went back to the alley way. They went to another set and saw Koharu dragging two mean looking guys over. Inuyasha strayed off to talk to Miroku when Koharu reached Kagome.
"These guys agreed to play the villains!" Koharu squealed. Kagome eyed the mean looking guys, who were obviously D class students meaning they were most likely children of members of the Yakuza.
"Hey bitch! Let us go we didn't agree to nothin'!" one guy yelled and shoved Koharu roughly. Koharu screamed and was about to hit a tall platform that was set up as part of the set, but Kagome caught Koharu and hit her back against the platform. Kagome gave a gasp of pain and clutched her face. Koharu stared at her in horror and concern. As Koharu began to stutter an apology Inuyasha appeared looking pissed. The two D class students saw the look on his face and gulped, Inuyasha sprinted over and punched one of them with no restraint. "Oh shit! Lets get out of here!" They ran off and Inuyasha wielded around to look at Kagome.
Inuyasha ran to stand in front of Kagome and held her face gently seeing thick tears sliding down her left cheek. Inuyasha's expression softened. "Are you Kagome whimpered. Inuyasha stared dumbfounded as the pesky contact fell out of her left eye and into her hand. "Phew! Got it!" Kagome said in relief and brushing a tear away. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha with a smile and was about to say something when she noticed the dark aura around him. "Inuya—?" Kagome gasped as her mouth was covered by a powerful earnest mouth. Inuyasha had her pinned against his chest and was kissing her passionately. Kagome leaned into the touch and allowed him to slip in his tongue, after a minute or two they pulled away. Kagome panted slightly and stared up at Inuyasha with a blush.
"Don't scare me like that damn it!" Inuyasha yelled down at Kagome like they hadn't just kissed. Off to the side Koharu was close to tears.
"DID YOU GET THAT!" Koharu demanded to the camera guy in excitement. The guy gave her thumbs up but no one expected a hand to come out and crush the lens of the camera. "Wha!" Miroku stood there with shards of glass falling from his hand and next to him stood an angry looking Sango.
"That is quite enough, Miss Koharu." Miroku said sternly. "You have exploited the Host Club enough, this craziness stops now."
Koharu looked between Miroku and Sango with a frown and then when she realized what was going on she ducked her head and fisted her hands. "You…want me to leave Miroku-sama?"
"Don't be so hard on her Miroku, she's just a kid." Kagome said with a slight smile. She knew that Sango had Miroku come down and stop the madness and was a little relieved that it was going to end. "Koharu…life's too short to waste it all on video games, Miroku isn't the same guy in the game and you'll find that it takes time to discover feelings for people which is why you need to get out there in the real world and going looking for that special someone to make you happy." Kagome said smiling down at Koharu who looked up at her in wonder. Koharu suddenly got a determined face.
"I shall find this person! It'll be a quest! Come on boys! Daddy needs to buy me a suit of armor and a horse so I can go on this quest and you shall be my army!" Koharu said to the camera people. The Host Club watched her leave with disturbed looks on their faces.
"Well….that was….interesting…" said Kagome, the others nodded dumbly in agreement.
