Chapter 5: The movie starts
There was music starting in the theater and in a fancy script the words "A Feudal Fairytale" appeared on the screen. Inuyasha watched as Kagome appeared on the screen, reminding himself of all the things Mrs. Higurashi and Kagome had told him about movies not being real.
Kagome was sitting in a room with her grandpa, holding what looked the Shikon no Tama connected to a smooth yellow rectangle that said, "Sunset Shrine". The yellow rectangle was connected to a silver ring at the end of it.
Kagome:'The Shikon no Tama'?.And people actually pay money.for these marbles?
Grampa:Hear its legend Kagome. In the beginning the "Jewel of Four Souls"..
Kagome was dangling the cheap knock- off above her cat Buyo's head
Kagome:Save your breath, Gramps.
Kagome looked over at her grandpa
Kagome:You remember what tomorrow is?
Her grandpa sighed with his eyes closed> He held out a box with a bow on it
Kagome:Could I ever forget my adorable granddaughters birthday?
Kagome:Wow! For me!"
Grampa:It's a day early but.happy birthday Kagome!
Kagome opened the box and pulled out a strange hand. She had her eyes closed and looked irritated.
Grampa:It's the mummified hand of a "Kappa" water-sprite. The legends hold that whoever possesses this..
Kagome held the hand to Buyo, who sniffed it.
Kagome:Here Buyo, lunch
Grampa:Do you know what those cost?
Kagome's disembodied voice was now explaining about her house as different parts of the shrine appeared on the screen.
Kagome:My "house" is also a very old shrine. I live with Grandpa, Mom, and my little brother Sota. The Goshinboku flashed on the screen as Kagome's voice said, "There's a sacred "Goshinboku" god-tree that's 500 years old.And a covered well that probably has it's own legend. In fact, everything at my house has a legend, but...
Kagome was shown running out of the house in her school uniform with her backpack on.
Kagome:See ya!
A shot of Kagome's grandpa appeared as Kagome's voice continued from earlier,
Kagome: but no matter how many times Gramps tells them to me I always forget.
Kagome's face was shown as her voice spoke her thoughts,
Kagome:never even thought about trying to remember them. Until I turned fifteen today."
Kagome saw Sota at the opening of the well-house.
KagomeLHey! Sota!
Sota:Sis!
Kagome went up to Sota
Kagome:You're not supposed to play in the wellhouse!
Sota:But Buyo.he's.
Kagome finished:In the well-house!
The two went in.
Souta:Buuuuyoooo!
Kagome:He's somewhere down there.so go get him out!
Sota:But doesn't this place kinda.give you the creeps?
Kagome:What, you scared? You're a boy, aren't you? Boys aren't supposed to be afraid of these kinda places.
A sound came from the sealed well.
Sota:Th-There's something IN there!
Kagome:Like, oh, say..our CAT!
Kagome walked down the steps to the well saying to herself
Kagome:Geez.
Noises continued from the well
Kagome Thinks:It's coming from inside the well? You've got to be kidding me!"
Buyo brushed against Kagome's leg, causing her to scream in surprise.
Sota:Don't scream like that! You scared me!
Kagome picked up Buyo and turned to go back up the stairs. Suddenly, the lid on the well burst open and Kagome was grabbed from behind, Buyo falling out of her arms as she was dragged down the well.Kagome turned her head and found herself face to face with an ugly centipede youkai.
Centipede:What joy..what strength I feel!My flesh returns to me!
The youkai licked Kagome's face
Centipede:You have it yes? Give it to me!
Kagome:Let me..go! You freak!
Kagome put a hand forward towards the monster and turned her face away. A bright pink light was emitted from Kagome's hand, hitting the monster's face and forcing it back from Kagome. As the youkai pulled back it's arm was ripped off. The demon fell deeper.
Centipede:I will not..lose it now.the Shikon no Tama!
Kagome:The Shikon.no Tama?
Kagome was now at the bottom of the well
Kagome Thinks:Was that thing.just a dream?
She saw one of the demon's arms.
kagome:Guess not.'Jewel of Four Souls..Now what did Gramps say again..? I've gotta get out of here.Sota! You there! Go get Gramps!"
Kagome grunted out as she climbed out of the away will he?
Kagome was now out of the well. She looked around .
Kagome:Where is this place? Mom! Grandpa! Sota!
Kagome spied the Goshinboku and ran to it.
Kagome:The Goshinboku!..Even when I was little I could always find my way home from there!
Kagome stopped in her tracks as she fully saw the Goshinboku.There, pinned to the Goshinboku by an arrow, with light hitting him full- force, was Inuyasha.
Kagome:A boy?Ano...Are you okay?
She stepped closer, climbing towards the prone figure of Inuyasha.There was a close up on the ears!
Kagome:Wow...dog ears!
Kagome was now right in front of Inuyasha.
Kagome:Well, I better get this out of my system.
Then Kagome proceeded to tug on Inuyasha's ears.The Inuyasha in the audience growled while Kagome's family laughed both at Kagome and Inuyasha's reaction.
Mom:It's too bad Kagome's not here. She's missing Inuyasha's reaction to things he didn't know about.
Inuyasha grumped in his seat while he continued to watch the movie.The movie went on to explain the villagers firing arrows and Kagome, tying her up, and taking her to Kaede. Kaede and Kagome talked for awhile until it was dark, explaining to each other about Kikyo and the Shikon no Tama. There was noise outside and they went outside to investigate.The centipede youkai was back! Kagome was running to divert the youkai's attention from the village. She was now back in Inuyasha's forest, but now Inuyasha was reanimated though still pinned to the tree. Inuyasha in the audience groaned as he heard the lines that made him seem a fool. As the movie continued, Kagome's family gasped when they saw the jewel burst from Kagome's body.
Mom:She never told us that!
Inuyasha suddenly realized something as he saw the all-familiar rosary slip over the movie Inuyasha's head.
InuYasha:'Oh shit!'
Inuyasha watched as there was a close up on his ears and ...
Kagome:Sit!
Inuyasha gasped in surprise as he didn't fall out of his chair.
Inuyasha thinks:'Maybe I have to be in Kagome's presence for the spell to work!'
Inuyasha relaxed as he realized he wouldn't be sent to the floor every time Kagome's voice said 'sit'.Inuyasha's ears twitched at the part when Kagome had shouted 'sit' when he had seen her naked for the first time(though she was covered in the movie). When Shippo came in everyone(at least Kagome's friends) thought he was adorable(to Inuyasha's disgust.)
Now it was at the part where Inuyasha was human for a night. The first time he had ever been human in front of Kagome. Inuyasha heard one of Kagome's friends
Friend:Do you think Inuyasha is cuter as a human or a hanyou?
Girls:I don't know.Go back to watching the movie!
Inuyasha sunk into his chair as the Kagome onscreen began crying about how he didn't trust her enough to let her know about his human nights. Then came the part where Inuyasha was poisoned by the spider youkai and Kagome used the sheath of the Tetsusaiga to get Inuyasha away from the spider youkai. Now they were in the different room, away from the spider youkai. Inuyasha blushed as he heard the onscreen Inuyasha say,
InuYasha Onscreen:If it's not too much trouble, can I lay my head in your lap?
He blushed more when he heard,
InuYasha Onscreen:You smell good.
Kagome:I thought you said you hated my scent!
Inuyasha Onscreen:I lied.
Now it was the morning after and they were riding in the boat. He heard Kagome's voice speak
Kagome's thoughts:Did Inuyasha really mean that or was it just the poison talking? Maybe I'll ask him.
Just then the onscreen Inuyasha turned around and snapped at her.
InuYasha Onscreen:Quit staring at me. If you're gonna say something, spit it out!
Kagome's thoughts:Then again, maybe not. Some things are just better left unsaid.
Now it was at the part where Kagome was captured by Urasue and was in the herbal potion. He heard Kagome's thoughts,
Kagome's thoughts:What is this stuff? It smells awful! I can't move! I can hardly even breath. Inuyasha!
Then it got to a part where he heard Kikyo's voice say while it was showing Kagome
Kikyo:Do not call out my name!
Inuyasha heard the onscreen Inuyasha say,
Inuyasha Onscreen:Ki-Kikyo.
Kagome's body lifted out of the tub and her eyes were blank. Her soul was being sucked out of her and put into Kikyo's body. Inuyasha watched everything being replayed before his eyes. (A/N: Shippo told Kagome what had happened when she had been soulless.)Now it was at the part where Miroku came in. Kagome's squealed indignantly when Miroku groped Kagome and Inuyasha growled at seeing it again.
Now it was at the part where Inuyasha had been wounded and he was hugging Kagome at the well. He watched as the onscreen Inuyasha shoved Kagome down the well as Kagome screamed. Inuyasha perked up with interest when Kagome was shown in her time. Some actresses who were playing Kagome's friends were asking why she wasn't wearing her uniform. Inuyasha heard Kagome answer her shirt was covered in blood and her friends mentioned something about Kagome being a hemophiliac.
Kagome's thoughts:Yeah. Any day now I'll be six feet under.
Inuyasha watched with interest as
Kagome thought:If I find out Inuyasha only hugged me to get the jewel shards..
Kagome stood up in class.
Kagome:That creep's gonna pay!
The teacher told Kagome to go outside. Kagome was wearing different clothes(PE clothes) and now there was some human guy talking to guy. Her friends accused her of being in love with another which.
Kagome:Me in love with that arrogant, selfish, pig-headed monster! NO way!
Kagome marched over to the guy.
Kagome:Ok. It's a date!
The guy :Great!
Kagome was now sitting across from the guy, sipping a drink.
Kagome thought:Stupid Inuyasha. Making me worry about him when I'm supposed to be on a date!
The guy:Kagome, I think I know what's wrong.
Kagome:You do?
The guy:It's your back isn't it? Your back is bothering you.
Kagome fell out of her chair and cursed her grandfather under her breath.
Now the movie was at the part where Inuyasha had run after Kikyo. Inuyasha watched as Kagome went through a barrier that Miroku and Shippo couldn't pass through. Kagome was now in front of Kikyo.
Kikyo:What are your feelings for Inuyasha?
Kagome:uh.
Kikyo put two fingers on Kagome's forehead.
Kikyo:You shall not interfere.
Kagome was pushed against a tree and was pinned there by Kikyo's soul collectors. There was a strange light surrounding Kagome. Inuyasha now came into view. Inuyasha now heard the onscreen Inuyasha say
InuYasha Onscreen:I've never stopped thinking about you Kikyo, not even for a moment!
Kagome's thoughts:I know it's true but it still hurts. What am I saying? It's not like he's my boyfriend or anything! Great, I think I'm gonna start crying!
Inuyasha watched as Kikyo kissed the onscreen Inuyasha. Kagome was screaming to Kikyo as Kikyo began to try and drag Inuyasha to hell. Inuyasha watched as Kagome started to drag some of Kikyo's soul back out. Soon Inuyasha woke out his stupor and freed Kagome. Kikyo said her parting words then left.Kagome had walked off and Inuyasha ran to catch up with her.
Kagome: Ihad "a front seat" for all of it.SIT!
Now it was at the part Sango joined their group. Sango was now Miroku's target for groping instead of Kagome.Now the movie was at the part where the vines had grabbed everyone, making everyone relive their fears. Kagome was shown walking along and wiping at vines with her bow when they tried to grab her. Soon Kagome reached the area where Kikyo was. She ran towards Kikyo.
Kagome:Kikyo! Kikyo, you're okay! We were so worried about you!
Kagome stopped in her tracks as Kikyo fired an arrow, grazing Kagome's cheek and creating a large hole behind Kagome. Kagome fell but Kikyo's soul collectors wrapped around Kagome and lifted her up. Kikyo went up to Kagome and pulled Kagome jewel shards from her neck. Then vines grabbed Kagome and dragged her down.
Kagome was awoken at the sound of Inuyasha calling her name. Inuyasha jumped down into the hole.
InuYasha Onscreen:Are you all right? You seem to have made it away from those vines all right.
Kagome just nodded with a glazed look in her eyes. Inuyasha took Kagome and jumped out of the whole. The Inuyasha in the audience listened as the onscreen Inuyasha and Kikyo talked about Kagome. Inuyasha shrunk back into his seat.
Kagome:Then don't ask me! I can't do it, I feel like I'm telling on her.
As Miroku came up and they all started walking Kagome's voice came in.
Kagome:Those vines put us all to the test. Testing our courage and making us relive our fears, mine too. I was given a little look into my own heart.
Inuyasha and Kikyo were shown being happy, and as Kikyo kissed Inuyasha, with Inuyasha wrapping his arms around Kikyo, Kagome's voice continued,
kagome:...into a place where Inuyasha and Kikyo were in love.
The Inuyasha in the audience: That was her fear?'
