Behind the Scenes Of InuYasha

Chapter 2

"Hey Bankotsu! Vegeta is almost ready for you, man."

"Oh, yeah, thanks Koga...I'm just trying to find my banryuu... , you haven't seen it, have you?", he asked as he franticly searched for his weapon of choice. It was hard for Koga not to laugh out loud, but he managed to hold it back and answered his friend with a simple "no" and got the hell out of there. Meanwhile back on the set, the laughter was rolling out of Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru as they told Kagome and Kikyou of the trick they were playing on Bankotsu.

"Ok, so you found a REAL banryuu, and replaced his fake one so when he tries to pick it up he will fall down?", Kikyou asked unamused. "It will be much more funny when it actually happens, Kiks!", Inuyasha tried to explain.

"If it's so heavy how in the world did you get it here, Inuyasha?", Kagome interrupted. "Funny you should ask...let me tell you a little story about this.", Sesshoumaru started to tell them about when Inuyasha first came to get him help carry the real banryuu to the set. "So, we ran out to Inuyasha's truck, we grabbed it with both hands and gave it a big jerk. Right away I knew we wouldn't be able to lift the damn thing on our own, so I was like 'how did you get this thing in your truck', and THEN he tells me 'oh yeah, I had the guys who work there help me'...so then I was like'GUYS? There was more than one?' and then he was like ' yeah me plus the six of them'. So it took seven people to put it into the truck, but he didn't bother asking 6 people to help him get it OUT of the truck!" Everyone died laughing except Inuyasha. "Alright! alright!...I was just really excited...geez!", he defended.

"So who helped you then?", Kagome and Kikyou both asked at the same time.

"Well there was Vegeta..", Kagome's eyes lit up when Inuyasha said his name, "Koga...Jakotsu...and Kaede...oh yeah, and Shippou, who wouldn't get the hell out of our way!"

"That little imp won't leave me alone", Koga told everyone. "He always wants to go out clubin' with me...it's just not cool to be seen out with a lil' person", he explained. "Koga you are so mean! But I hate that little mini pimp wanna be, too, he looks up my skirt every chance he gets!", Kagome added her thoughts of the midget.

"Oh Oh! Here he comes! Act natural!", Inuyasha shouted. Everyone scattered like rats. Bankotsu knew something was going on but dismissed it when he saw his banryuu on the ground of the set. "Umm...how did my banryuu get down here?" he askes suspiciously. Vegeta didn't want the prank to be ruined so he stepped up. "I had it brought down to get the set ready. Remember in the last scene Inuyasha had just knocked your banryuu out of your hand...we're going to pick it up from there...so... PLACES EVERYONE!", Vegeta shouted as he walked over to his director's chair feeling very proud of himself for saving the prank.

After a short struggle with Inuyasha, Bankotsu went for his banryuu...and just as planned he fell flat on his face. "What the fk?", he yelled as he got up. "Inuyasha! Sesshoumaru!" If he didn't already know that the two of them were to blame he did now...as they hauled ass off the set. By this point everyone was laughing as Bankotsu ran after Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru. "Well, I guess this scene will have to wait", Vegeta said as he got up to pour himself some coffee. "Hey Kagome, do you need a caffine break?", he asked. 'Oh my gosh!', Kagome thought. "Yeah sure", she replied as Kikyou gave her a little push in his direction.

"I was wondering Kagome, are you busy this weekend?" Kagome couldn't believe her ears! 'Did he really just say that?', she asked herself..."Huh?", she asked Vegeta. "Oh I'm sorry...I just thought that maybe we could go out or something...but I understand if you don't want to...I mean I guess it would be kind-of weird dating the director, huh?", Vegeta nervously spit all that out in less than a second. "No, no, wait a minute! I thought that's what you said...it's just, well, I was going to ask YOU out...", realizing what she just said Kagome blushed. "Well,...I guess we have a date then?", Vegeta asked shyly. "Umm yeah! Is it ok if we go with Kikyou and Sesshoumaru? That WAS the original plan anyway, but if you don't want to that's fine," Kagome started to ramble now. "That sounds great", Vegeta interrupted. "Now...do you think we can get those guys back here so we can finish this?", he asked her jokingly.

"I'll see what I can do", Kagome told Vegeta as she headed to find Kikyou. She didn't have to look very hard. "I heard it all!", Kikyou told her with a look of such happiness on her face you would think SHE was the one who just landed a man. "I feel so gitty!", Kagome confessed.

"What's going on here?", the two girls heard the voice that we've all grown to hate.

"Hey Naraku", Kikyou said with as much excitement that a child might have to go to the doctor. "I just saw those buffoons running around...when are you people going to take this job seriously?", Naraku asked the two 'priestesses'. "Lighten up Naraku! You need to have fun at work", Kagome tried to tell him. "Well, I guess when you are just a co-star, like YOU, you can have fun...but when you are THE star of a show it's all work and no play...something neither of you OR your boyfriends would know anything about.", Naraku said as he stuck his nose in the air walked away. Kikyou and Kagome just laughed.

Just then Kikyou noticed Sango and Miroku, "Hey you guys! We've got some good news over here!", she shouted acrossed to them. "What's going on?", Sango asked when she and Miroku reached the girls.

"I've got a date this weekend!", Kagome exploded. "Rub it in!", Miroku said sadly. "Oh I'm sorry Miroku...I take it Jakotsu said no again?", she asked sympatheticaly. Miroku just sighed and said, "I'm not really in a social mood right now, I'm going to my trailer to watch 'My Best Friend's Wedding', and eat a 1/2 gallon of cookies-n-cream icecream." "Ok, sweetie, I'll talk to you later", Sango told her bestfriend. "I hope Miroku finds the man of his dreams soon", she told Kikyou and Kagome, after Miroku was out of sight. They both agreed with Sango.

As the three talked about Kagome's date, Bankotsu ran up, out of breath and asked, "Where in tarnations are those two pranksters?" "What are you talking about, love muffin?", Sango asked him. "Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru!" he replied. That was all he needed to say for her to know that the pranksters were up to their old tricks again. "Do I even WANT to know what they did THIS time?", Sango asked as she gave her husband a loving slap on the butt. "Now's not the time for these shenanigans, Snookems", Bankotsu said embarrassedly as looked over at Kikyou and Kagome, "I've got some paybacks to go plan."

"If you need any help with that, just let let me know...I would love to turn the tables on those two", Kikyou told Bankotsu.

"Hey, while you both are here...would you guys like to go out with us this weekend?", Kagome asked the happily married couple. "I would love to, but I have to go record the new Barbie movie. Working two jobs doesn't leave me much time to do anything else.", Sango replied sadly. "Well, why don't you just quit so we can work more on making Bankotsu JR.", Bankotsu asked with a look of seduction on his face. "Now's not the time, love muffin, you have to plan your payback", Sango teased. "You're right!...See ya's", Bankotsu said quickly as he dashed off. "I think he's still mad over the last prank", Sango told her gal pals. "Oh you mean when they put Nair in his shampoo bottle?", Kikyou laughed as she remembered.

"Yeah, he still has to wear a fake braid that Bernice made for him...and he's not to happy about that.", Sango confessed as they walked towards the break room.

"Oh NO!", Kagome yelped, "Not Shippou!"

"Hey hey hey fine ladies", Shippou said in his most pimpable pimp voice.

"Go away loser!", Kikyou said.

"Ah how you gonna be like dat wit a playa...show me some love", Shippou said as he was tried to get a glance up Kagome's skirt.

"Get away!", Kagome screamed as she kicked him across the room.

"Why to go Kagome", Koga stood to applaud Kagome's actions. Shippou got up and started to get the dirt off his shoulder, "you shouldn't be dissin da homies like dat", he told Kagome. His attention now turned to Koga, "When we goin out pimpin' dawg?"

"As soon as you grow up", Koga joked.

"What are you talkin bout man, I'm twenty two years old! Lets go find us some ladies!"

Annoyed Koga replied, "Look little dude...you would just be crampin my style...you're just not down...well, you ARE down about 12 inches from the floor...but I mean you're not down with the homies".

"Why you wanna go play me like dat?" Shippou asked as Koga and the girls left.

"Damn", he said to himself.
