Crawling in the Dark

Chapter Eleven

"I wouldn't front the scene if you paid me
I'm just the way that the doctor made me, on,
and on,
and on,
and on
Love is the red of the rose on your coffin door
What's life like, bleeding on the floor,
the floor,
the floor"

Inuyasha paused. Who was that? She looked familiar. Could she be? No…couldn't be.

Kagome stared, he looked exactly the same, but what was he doing here? Maybe he went to college here?

"Oh, sorry." Reality finally hit her. She got back up and without looking back, Kagome started walking down the street.

Inuyasha took one last glance behind his shoulder. He then shook his head and continued on his way.

So much for a good day.

"Hey guys, I'm back." Kagome frowned. She put her purse down onto the table and sighed.

Ayame and Sango looked at each other; this probably meant that she didn't make it. Ayame decided to give her a hug, "Oh, Kagome, I'm sorry." Sango joined in as well.

"Guys," Kagome put her hands in front of her, signaling her friends to stop, they did. She then slowly sat down on the couch, after that, she blinked a few times; you could tell her mind was somewhere else. "Well…" She sucked in a few breathes, "I made it."

Her friends first thought Kagome was in denial, but then realized that she was telling the truth. They screamed, "What? Are you serious!"

"Yeah…" Kagome said in the same emotionless tone.

"Then…why do you seem all down?" Sango scrunched her eyebrows together, she was confused.

"I'm not, it's just…oh, never mind." She didn't feel like telling them about Inuyasha, so she put on a fake smile. "I made it, right?" She jumped up, "I'm Allie Hamilton!"

Her friends giggled, and then screamed, "Kagome! Oh my god Kagome! You're gonna be famous."

Kagome laughed, "I guess I am huh." She then made a huge grin.

Inuyasha slowly walked down the street. He almost forgot where he was heading, until he got there. There weren't too many people, it was already noon. He entered and found the list. He then saw the name "Noah" and traced his fingers to the other side. He scratched his forehead.

Just then, Kagura entered and stood beside him, "That's right, surprised?"

"Why did you choose me?" He asked stupidly.

"We thought you were perfect for Noah." Kagura answered simply, so simple, that it got Inuyasha even more confused.

"But why?" He asked again, "You seemed to really hate me."

Kagura laughed a bit at this, "Yes, you were quite annoying, but you have one thing that I think the others don't have. That one thing is potential. We believe that if you work hard enough, you can turn your attitude around and be a great actor."

Inuyasha considered that for a while. He then nodded slowly. This morning, he was almost positive he wouldn't make it, and had already packed his bags.

"I have a question, is this your first movie?" Kagura questioned him.

Inuyasha's first response was to say 'yup', but then remembered what Kagura said and, instead, said "Yes ma'am, I just came from college."

"See? You're changing already." Kagura smiled.

"Thank you."

And with that, Kagura walked away.

Inuyasha was still in disbelief, but shrugged it off.

"I wonder who Allie is gonna be played by?" He then searched for the name and went across to find the actress. "Kagome Higurashi," He muttered, while he read. "Kagome Higurashi," He repeated.

There was a pause.

"Oh my god, you've got to be kidding me. Kagome Higurashi?" He yelled to no one in particular, although he did attract a lot of attention.

Then, all of the sudden, there was a gasp. All the pieces of the puzzle were fitting together. The one that crashed the July 4th party was her; the one that bumped into him was her! How could he have not known who she was? Oh, he must've looked like an idiot just staring blankly at her.

"Hello?" A voice on the phone picked up.

"Hey Kikyo, this is Inuyasha."

"Oh my god! Inu! How are you? How'd things go? I miss you so much!"

Inuyasha laughed, Kikyo always lightened his spirit. "Calm down Kik."

Now, Kikyo laughed, "Ok Inu." She took in a deep breath, "First off, how did it go? It's been bugging me forever! Last night you told me it went horribly."

"I didn't get in." Inuyasha tried keeping the snicker.

"Aw, I'm sorry honey." There was a pause. Inuyasha guessed that she was trying to find some comforting words, but couldn't. "Well, you tried. So come home and let's spend a day together."

Inuyasha couldn't contain the laughter and snickers anymore, so he laughed out loud.

"What's wrong? I thought you didn't make it? Why are you laughing?" Kikyo wondered if not making it finally got to him.

Inuyasha's laughter continued.

"Please don't say you're going insane." She wanted to say 'mental', but that would be kind of mean.

"Haha, sorry Kik, I couldn't' help it. The truth is that, well, I made it."

More silence.

"Are you serious?" Kikyo said in a tiny voice.

"Do I sound serious?"

And more.

"Inuyasha! Oh my god!"

"I know Kikyo!"

"This is gonna be great!"

"Oh yeah it is."

"You're gonna be famous."

Inuyasha laughed at this thought.

"So, do you know who's playing the girl part?" Kikyo asked, a bit concerned.

Inuyasha paused; better not tell her, for it might ruin her mood, "Um…I don't know yet."

Kikyo sighed.

"Don't worry Kik, it's just a movie, I love you and always will." That line, it sounded, well, strange.

"I love you too honey. When you come back from the movie, let's get married."

Before, he would have loved this idea, but right now, he didn't feel like getting into it. "Well, I gotta go; we're having a meeting right now."

"Ok, have fun and visit me."

"I will once everything is sorted out, don't sorry. Talk to you later honey."

"Buh bye, love ya!"

Inuyasha clicked off the phone and sighed, what a day it's been.

"You here have been brought from all over the country for one reason, to stare fear in the eye as you compete for…the parts…which if you're here, it means you got it. Now, let's introduce the actors and actresses who worked so hard to get you here." Nobunaga tried to be funny again, but obviously, it wasn't.

Kagome smiled anyways, she had got one of the main characters, and it was her first movie!

"As I call your name, please come up to the stage and introduce yourself. This movie, will take a while, so get to know your crew. You'll have a much better time if you do." Kagura said.

Inuyasha smirked, what a stupid speech.

"Kagome Higurashi."

Kagome was a little bit nervous; she went up to the stage.

"This beautiful, talented girl will be playing Allie." Kagura introduced.

Kagome blushed a little, she got embarrassed easily.

"Hi, I'm Kagome Higurashi, and I go to UCLA. I'm 19, a sophomore." She didn't know what to say, other than that.

Inuyasha tried not to look, but he couldn't help it.

"I will try my best at this movie and hope everyone will be satisfied."

Inuyasha got a good look at her, she changed, she was more confident now, inside and out.

"I hope everyone will be a friend at the end of this. The more the better right?"

Inuyasha looked into her eyes. Unfortunately, Kagome caught his glance. The whole room was silent. They were at each other emotionlessly.

"Thank you." Kagome whispered into the microphone, still not taking her eyes off Inuyashas'. A huge round of applause was heard, but Kagome ignored it, she didn't even smile. What was Inuyasha doing here? He couldn't possibly be here for the movie. Just then, Inuyasha took his eyes back to the stage.

"Inuyasha."

Kagome's eyes widened. No…can't be…please…

Inuyasha smirked when he got up to the stage, leaving all the young girls in awe.

"I'm Inuyasha and I will be playing Noah." He said, still with the expression on his lips.

Kagome almost passed out. Why did life have to be so difficult? It would have been nice to never see Inuyasha again, but no. Fate just hated her. She just had to see him again and it wasn't just anywhere, no, of course not. He will be playing in the same movie as her. And to make it even worse, they'll be playing as…lovers.

After the introductions, the producers passed out the script to the movie. It must have been at least 150 pages.

Nobunaga went up and spoke, "Now, I want you to read through the lines and know your parts by Tuesday, which is in two days."

There were groans from the audience.

"You think being actors is easy and all about the glory? Well, let me tell you, it's not. This is just the beginning; it'll get harder, trust me. You all are working for me and me only. Anybody who fails to corporate will be replaced."

Kagome didn't like this guy, one moment he's trying to be funny and the next he's threatening. Talk about bipolar!

Just then, Kagura interrupted him, "What Nobunaga meant is just kind of know your lines, not memorize. Skim over them once or twice and you should be fine."

Kagome sighed, that was close.

"And also, we'll be moving to a new hotel, it'll be much bigger than the first one."

Kagome rolled her eyes, as if the other one wasn't big enough.

"The hotel is right across from here, see? Right there." She pointed.

Kagome looked behind her. Dinero Suite, the name even sounded like a rich place.

"To get your room number, just ask the service counter. This meeting is officially over, do your homework and enjoy your time. There will be another meeting again at five in two days and then we'll have a crew dinner, where we'll get to know each other even more. You are now dismissed."

A lot of the girls happily trotted over to their hotel. Kagome on the other hand was starting to regret coming to this place and playing Allie.

"Kagome? Are you okay? Everyone already left." Kagura looked concerned towards Kagome.

"Oh!" Kagome jumped, she was a bit startled, "I'm fine."

"You sure?"

Kagome nodded and got up.

"Well, if there's anything wrong, tell me, okay?"

Kagome nodded again. Kagura then patted her shoulder, "Ok, well, next time I see you, I want to see the fun loving side of you, the side we first saw at the auditions."

Kagome put on a fake smile, nodded again, and left for her room. She needed sleep. After that, she'll get her luggage from the other room.

After she got her keys to her room, B7, on the second floor, she got on the elevator. On the elevator was a description of the hotel. It had indoor and outdoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, tennis courts basketball courts, underground parking, bar, restaurant, and more! Talk about fancy!

Kagome slowly got to her room and threw her purse and script onto the coffee table. She then dropped onto her bed, hoping to clear her mind and get some quiet rest. Apparently, fate still hated her. Her neighbor was blasting music through the walls. Kagome tossed and turned, put pillows over her head, but it all didn't work.

"That's it." She got up and marched to her neighbor's door. She knocked, and knocked again. There was no answer. Now, she has had it. "Hey you! Turn your music off! I'm trying to sleep here!" She had no choice but to scream, her day was already bad enough anyways, so it couldn't get any worse, right?

"So we meet again."

Wrong.

This was an odd chapter, but nonetheless important, hope you enjoyed it and please review! And Rae-Orri, I hope this was long enough…actually, it wasn't, but oh well, next chapter…I guess.
