The workers cleared the fire. "Cut the shot. Very good," said the director. He walked over to Bankotsu's tent just in time to see the doctor come out. The doctor handed him a paper. It was the bill. The director gasped. "Doctor, can't you reduce your fee. You came for a half shift. The doctor shook his head before walking away. "Wait." The director ran after him.
Inside Bankotsu's tent
Bankotsu lay on his stomach on the couch. He was in his regular clothes and had his back bandaged. Jakotsu was also in his regular clothes.
"Is it painful, Banny?" Jakotsu asked in a fake sweet voice.
"It is," Bankotsu answered.
Jakotsu slapped his back and walked in front of him. "Oww," Bankotsu cried.
"Look here, I'm talking to you," Jakotsu ordered. Bankotsu looked down and drank a glass of water as Jakotsu walked behind him. "If something happened to you, what would I tell your mom?" He asked. "Look here, I'm talking to you."
Bankotsu looked up and then back. "But Kagome was in the fire…"
Jakotsu interrupted. "Oh to hell with Kagome, There were many to save her."
Bankotsu put his head down. Jakotsu moved in front of Bankotsu again. Who was coming to save you?" Bankotsu looked back to see Jakotsu wasn't there. "Hey, look here. I'm talking to you," Jakotsu said for the third time.
"Then why are you moving here and there?" Bankotsu asked.
"Shut up," Jakotsu told him. He knelt down. "Thank God you were only burnt on the back," Jakotsu lectured.
He hit Bankotsu on the back again. "Oww…"
"If your face was burnt then you would have to work in horror films."
Bankotsu threw his glass on the floor. "If I had to then I would have," Bankotsu spat out while getting up. "What would have happened? I would have burned, died. Then what would happen? What difference would it have made?"
Bankotsu didn't notice Kagome come inside the tent. Neither did Jakotsu since he was facing the wall, his back turned to Bankotsu as he continued talking. "Jakotsu, I didn't think anything at that moment. All I saw was a wall of fire and behind that trapped. Kagome."
Bankotsu walked back, taking little steps. Kagome did the same, going forward.
"You know Jakotsu, if required I will jump not just once, not ten times, not a hundred times but a thousand times. I would jump a thousand times into the fires where Kagome is trapped. Because in front of Kagome's life, my dreams are nothing," Bankotsu explained.
He stopped walking back and stood only a few feet in front of Kagome. Kagome also stopped walking. "Nothing matters." Bankotsu shrugged.
"No look here," he told Jakotsu. Jakotsu turned around to see Kagome standing behind Bankotsu. Bankotsu saw Jakotsu moving his head to the side so he did the same.
"What are you doing hmm for?" Jakotsu did the same thing again but turned around, knowing Bankotsu would do the same.
"What are you doing hmm for?" Bankotsu turned around and saw Kagome walking closer to him. She wore a white and black polka-a-dotted shirt and a black mini skirt.
"Hmm…"
Bankotsu closed his mouth.
"By the way I've met many people. But none of them did anything like this. That you did for me being just a stranger," Kagome told Bankotsu.
Bankotsu opened his mouth to say something but no words came out. He just moved his lips. I may be a stranger to you. And for me, you're a part of myself that without I'm completely incomplete.
"What is your name?" Kagome asked, smiling.
Name? My name is the one that will always be with Kagome in the title of your next movie. Bankotsu. Before Kagome. And after Kagome.
"Look, I know you aren't mute. If you won't tell me your name, I won't be able to thank you," Kagome explained.
Jakotsu ran over to Bankotsu and Kagome. "Bankotsu," Bankotsu said.
"Bankotsu," Jakotsu said again, holding out Bankotsu's hand.
"Bankotsu."
"Kagome."
"Bankotsu."
They shook hands.
Kagome sat down in a chair while Bankotsu and Jakotsu sat in front of her on a wooden box. Kagome smiled. "By the way, I think I've seen you before," Kagome pointed out.
Bankotsu blushed. "Yes, maybe on that premiere that night…"
Jakotsu interrupted. "On posters. You must have seen his film's posters. Madras Raja. He's the rising star of the south. Our… Banny-Sama Kagome Nathan," Jakotsu lied.
"Who Banny-Sama?" Bankotsu asked.
Jakotsu cupped his chin. "You, who else? He's too down to Earth." Jakotsu laughed. Bankotsu would have slid down if Jakotsu hadn't held and pulled him up.
"Who would believe that his last movie was a Golden Jubilee," Jakotsu lie, again.
"Really?" Bankotsu and Kagome asked together.
"Really. You'll see, very soon our Bankotsu will dominate all of Tokyo Industry." Jakotsu walked behind Bankotsu and patted him on the shoulder.
"Really?"
"Really?"
"Of course."
Kagome smiled and got up. Bankotsu did the same. "By the way, you have earned your first fan today," Kagome told Bankotsu.
"Not fan, friend Ms. Kagome," Bankotsu hoped.
"Not Ms. Kagome, Kagome," Kagome corrected.
"Kagome," Bankotsu whispered. He looked at Jakotsu and moved his head to the side. They smiled.
"Can I go?" Kagome asked.
"Okay," Bankotsu replied, dreamily.
"Thank you once again," Kagome said before leaving.
"Uh-uh. There is a rule in friendship madam. No sorry, no thank you," Bankotsu told Kagome.
Kagome laughed. "Is that a dialogue from a film?" Kagome asked.
Jakotsu blew Bankotsu an air kiss. "Not yet. Bankotsu writes his dialogues himself," Jakotsu said. Bankotsu and Jakotsu touched their hair and laughed.
A man peeked inside the tent. He had a mini notebook and a pen in his hand. "Madam, no sorry, no thank you." He wrote all this down, copying what Bankotsu had said.
"Son, what are you doing here?" Another man asked.
"Come, our set is over there."
"Daddy, I was writing dialogues."
"Okay, okay."
I know it is a short chapter. But at least it was a quick update.
