Chapter 6 -- The Hidden Pisser

Everyone was absolutely crazy with excitement about the new director. Compared to the one currently in the hospital, she was perfect! The cast practically bounced out of their beds, ready to start filming. At breakfast time, they saw her come out with a Siberian husky as beautiful as her. Its white gleaming fur shone in the morning sun.

Smiling, blinding everyone with her absolute perfection, the director sat down and said, "Good morning once again. I do believe that I haven't properly introduced myself to you all…except to Gojyo, of course." At this, she laughed quietly. Gojyo winked at her, and glared at Dougan, who had now officially started a competition with his little bro to see who would win the director over.

"As I was saying, my name is Yukare, and I'm 22 years of age right now. I grew up in Osaka, Japan, and I went to several different academies for production film directing. Hopefully, you all won't think I'm too bad at my job. That's about all. Any questions? Anyone?" Yukare looked around slowly, and found that everyone was staring goggly-eyed at her. For what reason, no one knows. As for Gojyo and Dougan, they were staring at a place a little below Yukare's face. (A/N: I had to put that in. Teehee…)

"Ah yes, meet my dog, Inuyasha (A/N: It's not the person from the actual show). He'll be around for now, I hope none of you mind."

"NAH, we're not allergic to cute doggies, are we?" Brayed Rinrei.

"Excellent! Then we'll get started on filming today!" Smiled Yukare, clapping her hands.

For the trillionth time, Yukare sighed to herself.

"CUT! (The cast sighed with her) Honestly Goku, actually hit Kougaiji if you have to! I mean, your fake attack was so poorly acted out that no one would believe it! Our audience is supposed to buy this show, you know! Again!"

Yukare was starting to find that the cast wasn't very brilliant when it came to acting. Everyone just stood around and watched, and it was getting on her nerves. She could tell that she herself was getting on their nerves as well, judging from the reaction whenever she 'cut' someone.

After another few tries, Yukare finally gave up on Goku and Kougaiji's fighting scene.

"Alright. Take a break, Kougaiji. Goku and Homura, get out there!"

"What? How come Kou gets a break, and I don't?" Whined Goku.

"Simply because you suck too much." Whispered Homura, smirking.

Goku glared at the god. "I'm really glad that I get to kill you in the show."

"Yes, but it would be better if I actually died in reality, no?" Grinned Homura, mockingly.

"DIE!" Goku yelled, while swinging his Nyoi-Bo at Homura. Everyone had lost track of the number of times the two had to act out this scene without doing it successfully. With high hopes, Yukare wondered if they would finally get it right. It was late evening already. Time flies when you're having fun, isn't that so?

"Heretic! I….I….I-I….Crap, I forgot….Gomen ne, everyone…" The toushin groaned in exasperation and sat down on the floor.

"You good-for-nothing twit! What are you, anyways?" Shrieked Yukare, ready to pull her hair out. Her perfection was really starting to wither away. The cast sighed again. Kanan cried.

Now, we all know that this scene was a drag as well. I suppose I shouldn't explain the rest to you, lest you drop dead in boredom or horror. The results of it were a half-dead Yukare, half-starved Goku, half-crazed Homura, and yawning cast.

"I-I think I've had enough filming today, don't you think? Dismissed…e-everyone…" With that, Yukare wobbled away.

Before she could get very far, the director was stopped by a scream from the field outside. The entire cast turned curiously to find a frantic gossip girl running towards them.

"I was just in the field, and there was a huge, horrible smell coming from it! And not just there either! It's coming from all over the filming grounds!"

Another gossip girl trotted over and smacked her friend on the back.

"Awesome isn't it? This should be on the news – 'Headlines: Mysterious odour wafting out of Saiyuki filming studios. AHAHAHA!"

The last gossip girl walked out, adjusting her glasses. "Perhaps it's just poop fertilizer…"

Being blunt as always, Rinrei slapped her hands together and said, "I bet it's Yukare-san's dog! It has to be!"

The cast raised their noses and sniffed the air. Sure enough, the air did smell like dog dung, or urine.

Yukare wobbled back and spluttered, "It can't be! I trained my dog not to do that! Where's your proof?"

The others were silent. At this moment, no one could be sure. Rinrei shrugged and pointed at Homura, "It was his idea."

The said person spun on her. "What? O.O"

Yet another argument was about to erupt when the first gossip girl interrupted by saying, "Dr. Nii, can you take me to the nurse's room? I feel kind of sick."

"Oh god…not again." Dr. Nii raced around and dragged the girl away.

Since no one else could stand the horrible smell either, they all retreated to their respectful places.

A few days passed with more outrageous acting, upset actors and directors, and yet the mysterious smell lingered.

Finally, one day, Rinrei was just getting a snack from the vending machine when she spotted Yukare's dog urinating into a pot of plants.

She yelped in surprise and dashed off to tell the others.

"See? I told you so! No one ever believes me!" Rinrei exclaimed as the cast crowded around the clueless husky. Yukare shook with utter shock.

"N-No…"

"Calm down, Yukare-sama, it's not such a big deal." Said Lirin.

The female director did not answer, but walked off quietly. Everyone watched as she exited the filming grounds and went out. Just as she was about to cross a road, however, the cast cried out as they saw a fast-approaching car racing towards Yukare, who didn't seem to notice.

"Watch it, man!"

"Look out!"

"Yukare-sama! NO!"

At last, Yukare looked up just in time to see the car about to hit her.

'So this is it, huh? I end up directing a hopeless cast, finding out my dog is not potty-trained, and now I die…I guess it's fine this way.'

Yukare closed her eyes, presumably, for the last time. Kanan screamed and closed her eyes. Rinrei was too stunned, so Homura clamped her eyes shut. Everyone else looked away.

A deafening sound of screeching tires and a crash filled the air. And then, silence.

Slowly, hesitantly, the cast looked….to see a traumatized Yukare lying on the road. The car was dented, yet the driver was fine, helping the director up. But the most extraordinary, if not horrifying, scene was that Yukare's Siberian husky was unconscious…dead.

"H-He…saved me." Yukare's voice was barely a faint whisper. All at once, she ran up and held her dog in a warm embrace. An endless stream of tears trickled down her face. She couldn't stop crying, and no one said a thing.

Kanan and a few others were sympathetic enough to cry for her dog as well. A few females were sobbing with relief that Yukare was alright.

After what seemed like a time span of infinity, Yukare got up and smiled weakly at the cast.

"I believe we should make a grave."

Standing at the grave, Goku and Gojyo put on a cross that they made. On it was engraved the words:

"In this mound of earth lies the Hidden Pisser.

P.I.P"

The cast laughed quietly at this. Yukare did, also. After saying farewell and leaving memorial gifts at the grave, the people left one by one. Rinrei stayed and practically threw herself onto Yukare.

"Yukare-san, I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have made fun of your dog before! I didn't know something like this would happen! This must be really hard for you."

"…I'll be alright, Rinrei-chan. Arigatou."

Rinrei said goodbye, Homura patted Yukare's shoulder lightly, and the two walked off together.

Yukare was the only one left. It was peacefully quiet now, for she was alone. Kneeling down on the ground, Yukare put down a bouquet of flowers.

"It was fun being with you. I'll never forget all the memories, and how you were family to me. Ne, you know what? You've given me another chance at life. You'll always be…my hero."

Taking one last glance at the grave, Yukare wiped her tears, turned, and walked away.

'People need to lift themselves above their lives, and feel the miracle of living.'

A/N: P.I.P -- Piss in Peace. O.o Well, I got that from a book I read. Sad, in my opinion. Well, R/R!
