A/N: Well guys, I'm back! Lol, I'm writing this on the plane right now. Holy freakin' crap. Lemme tell you guys a little about my airplane ride, because it's pissing me off right now, lol. Ok, so I'm in this isle seat and it has plugs, so you can have electronics (laptop). Well, the person in front of me obviously doesn't care about anyone, (well, I probably shouldn't say that, cause I don't know them, but still…) Ok, anyways, so they put the chair all the way back, and there goes my leg space. And if that isn't bad enough…she's watching a movie on her dvd player with no headphones! I mean what the heck? That whole plane could hear the random blabbering of her movie, I seriously just wanna shout, "shut the hell up!" Omg..it's annoying. Haha, anyways, incase I forgot to mention this, I'm going to china, so it's even more annoying hearing the blabbering in Chinese, I mean especially when you're trying to do summer homework (read, memorize vocab, blah) Haha, anyways, enough of my complaining and on with the story, hope you enjoy this chapter, because I have 9 hours to write it. I spent the first few hours (5) doing nothing, but TRYING to read and listening to music. Haha, I'm a dork huh. lol
Holy crap, now the plane is shaking…real hard.
Thanks to those wonderful reviews!
Crawling in the Dark
Chapter Thirteen
"So get back, back, back to where we lasted.
Just like I imagine.
I could never feel this way.
So get back, back, back to the disaster.
My heart's beating faster.
Holding on to feel the same."
- Memory by Sugarcult
The dinner was at a famous diner in Dinero Suite. It had a few round tables and a giant silver chandelier in the middle; it also had a stage for presentation. The crew consisted of fifty people. To Kagome's surprise, Sango and Ayame were there. They took a table near the stage and started chattering away, unaware of who was coming.
"Hey Kagome," He casually greeted.
There was silence.
"Inuyasha?" Sango gasped. What was he doing here? Oh crap, she's screwed if he saw her with Kagome. She'll probably spend the whole night explaining about everything that had been going on.
Inuyasha blinked for a moment, as if trying to get all the information in. Right in front of him were two girls, one that he knew very well and the other he had seen.
"Sango…and the girl…that crashed the party," Inuyasha blinked again.
"Inuyasha, what are you doing here?" Sango asked carefully.
"I was about to ask you the same thing." Inuyasha took a seat to the right of Kagome, who was to the right of Sango and then Ayame.
"Well, I'm in the movie of course." She shrugged.
"What? You've got to be kidding me; you didn't show interest in acting at all!"
"I'm not acting." Sango loved messing with his simple, yet complex mind.
"Then what the hell are you doing?" Inuyasha was starting to get pissed off.
"I'm a pianist, duh Inuyasha. I can't believe my old friend forgot what I loved."
"Oh yeah, that's right, the gay piano."
"It's not gay and I got the part, so that means I'm good and I might be famous one day, unlike you."
Ouch, that must have hit Inuyasha pretty hard, considering his ego, it wasn't anything new.
"Do you want to know what part I act in the movie?"
"The butler?" Sango laughed.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "No, guess again."
"The servant?"
"No."
"The driver?"
"No! Damn it Sango, stop thinking so low of me."
Sango ignored him and turned to Kagome, "Kagome, since when have you known this?"
Kagome lost her words for a couple of seconds, then regained herself, "I…I didn't know about this."
Sango sighed, her friend wasn't very good at lying, "Then why did he say 'hi Kagome' all casually when he entered and took a spot next to you."
Kagome groaned, "He's playing Noah."
"Oh.my.god," Sango exaggerated. "You have got to be kidding me."
"It's true, unfortunately." Kagome kind of whispered the next part. The truth was, she wasn't too ashamed that Inuyasha played Noah. She just felt awkward. They had a really bad past together and then two years later, they meet again and pretend like nothing happened. She really wanted to bring up the past, apologize or make him apologize. But who did anything wrong anyways? They were so young; it was a stupid mistake that Kagome will regret for the rest of her life, will Inuyasha regret it?
Ayame was silent at the table. Was that the Inuyasha? The one Kagome was talking about in her journal a year ago? If it was him, she'd met him before, at the Fourth of July party she had crashed. No wonder Kagome wanted to get out of there so bad. But now, it seemed like everything was okay. Oh, she was so confused.
The servers brought up the appetizer, bread sticks and salad with ranch. Everybody was talking, except for Kagome's table. The truth was out now, and no one knew what to say.
"Let's eat guys." Ayame said awkwardly.
Everyone just nodded and started with their salad.
Kagome looked at each one of them. Sango seemed to be surprised and upset that she hadn't told her anything; yet, she looked like she was hiding something. Ayame, on the other hand was looking at Inuyasha. Why? Probably trying to figure out if it was the person Kagome had been writing about, and it was. When she got to Inuyasha, she didn't dare to look for more than half a second. She was scared, but scared of what?
It went on like this until the desert came. Inuyasha wanted some small talk and got one.
"So Sango, you go to UCLA right?"
"Right," Sango slightly nodded her head and glanced up towards Inuyasha.
"How are you and Miroku doing?"
Sango laughed at this, "Same as years ago, he's still perverted but I love him anyways."
Inuyasha snorted.
"Wait; don't tell him I said that."
Inuyasha smirked.
Sango laughed again, "I see you haven't changed. Are you still going out with Kikyo?"
"Yes," Should he tell her, that they were engaged? Should he tell her in front of Kagome? What will Kagome think? Oh hell, why did he care anyways? It's just a stupid movie and then she'll go home and leave him alone and they'll never see each other again, he had told himself this quite a few times now.
"How's everything going with her?" Sango asked again.
This was it, Sango brought it up, it was all Sango's fault! "Actually, we're engaged."
Kagome didn't hear anything else from there. Her whole world spun. They…were engaged? How was she supposed to act with a man who is going to get married with someone she hates?
&
Kagome's life never seemed to get better, it got worse. Whenever she thought it got better, she ended up being wrong.
She looked into the mirror at herself; she had changed so much, but for what reason? Take away the hair, clothes, and make up; she was still the same person. Only one thing had changed though, she cared more, cared about everything more.
Before, she used to be a selfless girl, not caring what anyone said or did to her. She would go home everyday like it was the best day of her life. When she met Inuyasha, she started changing, she knew it, but she couldn't stop herself. It was a good feeling back then, but look what it did to her; she was the person that she never thought she could ever become.
Kagome stared at herself some more, she let down her ponytail and washed away the make up. This was the old person, she wanted her back.
&
The next day Kagome woke up at five in the morning sharp; she took a quick shower, skimmed over her lines again to make sure she had memorized it, and then headed towards their scene.
The place was on a regular street in a block. It had been fenced around to make sure no one interrupted their movie.
She took in a deep breath and headed over to Nobunaga.
"Oh great! You're the first one to arrive!" Nobunaga gleamed.
"Hi, how are you?" She tried saying as politely as possible, but the truth was that she was way too nervous to be polite.
"I'm fine, ready for the movie?"
"Yes."
"Great, let's just wait for more people. You got your lines memorized right?"
"Yes."
"And you have everything figured out."
"Yes." It seemed to be the only thing she could say right now.
"Did you go over it with Inuyasha?"
"No." Just kidding, maybe she could pull off a no also.
Just then, Inuyasha, along with a bunch of the actors and actresses arrived.
"Oh great, you guys are just on time." Nobunaga clasped his hands together.
"How could we nost be after that threat yesterday?" Inuyasha joked; Kagome didn't dare to look at him.
"Ok guys, time to practice for two hours."
"Oh yeah, let's do this."
They got everything set up and went through the scenes, it was easier than what Kagome had imagined, the acting came naturally. And luckily, there weren't any kiss scenes, just dance. The dancing wasn't too bad, they just had to act happy and that was all.
"Ok guys, make up and clothes time. You guys did great on these scenes, you all are great actors and have a wonderful future ahead. I'm sure this movie will be wonderful. And all of us here agreed that we can skip the next practice, because you guys are doing too good, but that means we have to wait for at least one hour before we can start, because we need to wait until its sunset."
&
Inuyasha got to his dress room, his clothing was simple, because he was supposed to look like a poor guy. It was just an old t-shirt and some casual pants and sneakers, along with a hat. He smirked at himself in front of the mirror. After the clothing, it was make up time. Inuyasha never got why the guys needed so much make up for a movie. He was layered with powder until he felt like he couldn't breathe anymore, and then the make up artist put a neutral colored lipstick on him, which he felt was pretty gross. And to make him want to die some more, they curled his eyelashes.
"Are we done yet?" He grunted.
"Almost."
The artists put some final touches onto him, just some little things.
"Finally," He sighed, then looked at himself, it was a horrible sight.
After thirty minutes of wait, his clothes and make up took forever, the real thing was finally about to start. It was something unusual, because Inuyasha actually felt nervous, which he had never really done before, strange feeling it was.
He got to the scene and looked around. He didn't really recognize anybody, they were covered with make up and clothes he wasn't used to.
There was a girl with a light yellow corset and a yellow gown. Her curls were perfectly flowing below her shoulders.
"Kagome?"
Kagome turned around, to face the voice.
Inuyasha took a breath; it reminded him of high school. Man, she was so beautiful.
Haha, that was a really weird ending huh.
And guess what? It took me and hour and a half to write this, not that bad. So this means I have seven and a half more hours to spare. Well, the person in front of me has stopped watching movies, but her chair's still down, so I'm still squished and can't sleep, but whatever, as long as no more aimless blabbing of Chinese.
Hope you guys liked this chapter and please review! Thanks!
