Chapter 3
"Ok, that's a wrap." The director that, the whole castle set fell down, bringing Kagome with it.
"Everyone, try to find Kagome!" Everyone rushed to try to clear the rubble. "I found her." There was Inuyasha, holding an unconscious Kagome in his arms. Her head was resting on his shoulder. Everyone sighed with relief.
When Kagome woke up she was in a dressing room, everyone was standing around her, worried. "Kagome are you feeling alright?" her makeup girl asked. "yes, thank you. What happened?" "The stage collapsed." Then Kagome remembered. "So what I want to know is how I found you about a foot from the wreckage. You should have been right in it." Inuyasha was staring straight at her, as though he was trying to read her soul. "I jumped." Everyone around her stared. "You what?" "I jumped." She said again. "What do you mean, why would you jump?" "I started to feel the stage move just a tiny bit, so I jumped." Inuyasha leaned closer. "But didn't you think about if it was just that someone bumped into the set." Kagome blushed, she looked down, "I guess I just didn't think of that." "Kagome, can we talk outside for a bit?" "Sure," Kagome got up and walked with Inuyasha out of the dressing room.
Once they got far enough, Inuyasha put his arm against the wall, towering over Kagome. "Now I'll ask you again, how come I found you away from the wreckage?" "It's like I told you, I jumped." "That's impossible," "then jump right now. I bet you can do it." Inuyasha growled. "That's not what I meant. You shouldn't have been able to feel the stage shake a little bit." "Why not?" "Because, now tell me the truth." "I am." "Damn it girl! Quit lying!" he raised his hand. Kagome flinched. He looked at his hand, then at Kagome, still cowering away from his hand. "What's your past?" She looked up at him, "What do you mean?" "Exactly what I said, what's your past?" The frightened look turned into a glare, "That's none of your business." With that the girl walked away. Leaving Inuyasha staring after her.
"Kagome, are you sure that you will be fine to act out the next scene?" Miroku, the director asked. "Yeah, I'm positive." "Ok, but we'll wait for tomorrow to do that. For now I'll have Sango take you to the actors/actresses apartments." A girl about Kagome's age came out, "Hi, I'm Sango and…" Sango felt something touching her back end, "PERVERT!" Miroku sighed rubbing his now red cheek, "Sango, can you please refrain from calling me 'pervert' in front of my clients please?" Sango glared at him. "Miroku, can you please refrain from touching my butt in front of clients please?" she replied heatedly. Everyone that passed by made sure that they stayed at least 15 feet away. Kagome started to back away a bit. "Come on Kagome, let's go." Sango stomped off, dragging poor Kagome along with her.
As Sango was dragging Kagome along down a hallway, Kagome's ankle gave way a bit. Pain seared her. Sango looked back at Kagome, "Are you ok?" Kagome put on a cheerful face, "Yeah, just fine." Sango looked at her for a few seconds, then shrugged and looked ahead. Kagome looked down at her ankle. She didn't want anyone to know about her ankle, she didn't know why, she just didn't. Someone was watching her in the shadows, but turned around and walked away.
"Ok Kagome, here's your dressing room, I hope you enjoy it. Just call me if you need me." With that Sango walked out of the room. Kagome sighed with relief. "Now let's see where the emergency kit is." She said to herself. "Ah here it is." She pulled the kit off a shelf near the corner. Then she wrapped her ankle again. She pulled off her sweater to check out the marks that she had received yesterday. They were doing pretty well but still needed time to heal. She put salve on those wounds covered them and put was just about to put her sweater back on when… "Hey do you happen to have?"Startled, Kagome threw her medicine kit at him. He caught it easily but Kagome was too busy hurriedly putting her sweater back on. Then she felt a hand on her bare shoulder touching one of her bandaged wounds. "What's this?" he asked. She knocked her arm back, knocking his hand off, and then put her sweater back on. "It's nothing. So what do you want?" "Excuse me?" "You must have barged in here for something. So what do you want?" "Oh yeah, so do you have a knife?" "What!?" "Not in that way, just do you have a pocket knife?" "Yeah, why?" "May I use it?" "Sure, I'll get it for you." Kagome walked over to her purse and got out a pocket knife that was decorated with rhinestones in a rose pattern. "Here" she tossed the knife to him. He easily caught it, he barely even looked at it. It was almost as though it was just reflexes. "Thanks." With that he left the room. "Weird." She thought.
'What's with the bandages? They weren't from today. So where did she get them?' He was still wondering as he bumped into someone. "Sorry." He said gruffly. "No, I should be sorry, it was all my fault." He looked at who it was, it was Kikyo. He was slightly unnerved by her expression, it was an expression of lust and greed. It slightly scared him, but he wouldn't let it stay on his face. No, he would keep his poker face on. "Actually I was looking for you." Kikyo told him, "I was wondering if you would like to go to a restaurant with me for dinner?" "No thank you." "Why not?" she put on a pouty face, though Inuyasha knew that she was just acting. "I'm not hungry." "Oh, well we can always have it later at night." "I'm good." With that he walked away. "This is all Kagome's fault, he probably thinks I'm mean just because Kagome can't walk a measly two miles." She whispered. With that she stomped off to her home.
