A/N: A while ago, my friends and I were working on an Inu-Yasha type movie. These following chapters are adapted from several scenes I had written in which an OC (Kuro, a vampire demon with a sister and married to Naraku) keeps showing up in the Matrix as Neo. The plot of the actual movie is irrelevant for these scenes. They were designed to be able to slide in and out of any story as the need arose.
As I already said, Kuro is an OC, vampire demon married to Naraku. Also In the "non-Matrix-world," the film is being filmed and directed by my character, The Producer.
Not much else to say, so on with the show.
Matrix Scene 1:
Kuro opened her eyes slowly. Her head hurt and she didn't quite know why. She shook her head and looked around. When her vision finally unblurred, she saw that she was in a rather nice looking study sitting in a rather nice leather chair.
"Where the hell am I?" she muttered.
She looked around and saw what appeared to be the producer, Inu-Yasha and Kegome. They were sitting and standing across from her with a nice coffee table between them. They are all in nice black suits. The producer had his same black hat on, but it had duct tape over it that had "Morpheus" written on it. Looking at her own body, Kuro saw that she too was in a black suit.
"You are in the Matrix," the producer said.
Kuro gave him a look of confusion. "The what-rix?"
"It is all round you," the producer continued.
"Okay," Kuro said slowly. "But what is it?
Inu-Yasha cut in. "It is the clothes you are wearing. The chair you are in. The food you eat."
Kuro frowned in slight confusion. "So… the Matrix is matter?"
"Yes," Kegome said. "The Matrix is what matters."
"No," Kuro said. "I mean matter." Blank stares. "As in has mass and takes up space?"
"No," the Producer said. "The Matrix is not matter."
"Then it isn't real," Kuro concluded.
"No," Kegome said.
"And yes" Inu-Yasha added.
"Wait," Kuro said, holding up her hands. "It's real… but it isn't real."
"That is correct," the Producer said.
"So…" she looks around and sees a glass of water on the table. She reaches down and picks it up. "This cup is real."
"Correct," Inu-Yasha said.
"But it isn't real," Kuro continued.
"Correct," Kegome said.
"So that would mean that…" Kuro trailed off as she set the glass down. "Wait. Is this a dream?"
Yes."
"And no."
"Damn it!" Kuro shouted. "Stop talking in riddle and tell me what the hell the Matrix is."
"No one can be told what the Matrix is," the producer said in an even, emotionless tone.
"Then what have you been trying to do for the last five minutes?" Kuro demanded.
"We have been trying to make you understand," Inu-Yasha said.
"Understand what exactly?"
"What the Matrix is," Kegome said.
Kuro's face turned red with anger. "But you just said, not even thirty seconds ago, that–"
"Neo," the producer said, cutting her off.
"Neo?" Kuro asked.
"You are the One," the producer announced.
"The One?" Kuro asked.
"The One," Inu-Yasha said.
"The One," Kegome added.
"Fantastic," Kuro said. "And who is the One?"
"You are, Neo," the Producer said.
"I got that part," Kuro said, gritting her teeth. "And the name's Kuro. But what is the One?"
"The One is you," Inu-Yasha said.
"But what do I do as the one?" Kuro asked.
"You be the One," Kegome said.
"And how exactly do I 'be the One?'" she asked.
"First," the producer said, "you must accept the fact that you are the One, Neo."
"It's Kuro. And I have accepted it."
The producer smiled. "No you must--"
Before he can go any further, the door bursts open and Naraku comes into the room in a not-so-black suit. He and Kuro lock eyes.
Kuro frowned in confusion. "Honey? What are you doing here?
"Crap," Inu-Yasha said. "Agent."
"Hello, Mr. Anderson," Naraku said, advancing on Kuro.
"What the Fuck is going on here?" Kuro shouted.
The producer turned to Kegome. "Get Neo out of here. We'll hold him off.
Kuro just blinked. "Wait… What?"
Kegome grabs Kuro's arm and begins to pull her away. "Come on."
As they leave the room, there is a flash. Kuro is on her back, looking up at the night sky.
There you have it. The first scene. If it doesn't make much sense, don't worry. It doesn't matter. Please review.
