Award ceremony
A media stood outside the award ceremony that was about to take place inside. The media went asking people who they thought was going to get the best actor award. "Who's going to win the best actor award?"
"My friend Bankotsu Kira, He should get it."
"Well I think Bankotsu Kira is just wow!"
The reporter brought the microphone over to Bankotsu's rival, Jomei Kiyoshi. "Don't be stupid, I'm going to win of course."
The reporter took the microphone and sang, "Okay, okay."
"I'm here to protest against this ceremony."
"Okay."
"What okay? There's only F-kay."
The reporter sang, "Okay, okay, okay."
"Of course it will be given to my son Ebisu Cho." Ebisu Cho said, "I think uh…I t will have to be me."
"Bankotsu and I… I shouldn't say this in front of the camera. We're just good friends."
"Bankotsu Kira and me… are just good friends."
"Bankotsu and me… we're just good friends."
"I think we should give it to Bankotsu Kira."
"Bankotsu Kira who?"
Inside
"And this year's best actor nominees are who? Have a look."
A video was shown on the TV. "The best actor nominees are Dai Maro in "Doom 5." This time he's not a cop. This time he's not with a babe. This time he's not going to lose… because this time he's not in the movie." The scene shows Dai Maro taking off his sunglasses and saying, "What?" He looks around the room and leaves.
The crowd claps. "C'mon Dai."
"Bankotsu Kira in 'Another Happy Ending.' The scene shows Bankotsu and a girl running towards each other. Bankotsu hugs her and says, "Wow, Keitaro must have heard the name."
"Bankotsu Kira once again in "I am There Too." The scene is the same, except this time he kisses the (same) girl and says, "Wow, Keitaro must have heard the name."
"Matsu Ume in "The Return of Kaori." The scene shows Matsu getting out of a car and seeing bandits shooting at him with guns. But he blocks all the bullets with his hands, puts it in his mouth, spits out the metal part, and throws the bullets into the forest creating an explosion. The bandits look puzzled. Matsu takes his guns and shoots them.
Matsu's fans cheer and his girlfriend kisses him.
"Oh, tough fight, Anyway the people giving out the awards are the living legends, Para and Ryuichi Tariku."
The audience claps.
Para has the microphone. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen." Ryuichi takes the microphone from him and says, "Good evening ladies and gentlemen. A good actor means the person who brings out somebody's soul into his soul and projects the emotions and the right kinds of emotions and he is a good actor…"
Para took out a piece of paper from the envelope he held and read it.
Matsu's girlfriend pointed at him. Shikininto patted Bankotsu on the shoulder. Dai began to stand up.
"And the winner id Bankotsu Kira."
Dai's smile disappeared. Matsu's girlfriend starts clapping. Bankotsu jumps up and cheers, Dai looked at Bankotsu. He waved, giving him a thumbs up and forced a smile. He sat back down and forced himself to clap.
Matsu pulled on his girlfriend's hair. "You're laughing a lot right? A lot?" His friends held him back. "Let go. This is my award. This is cheating. This is a fraud. The award is a fraud."
Bankotsu walked down the red carpet to get his award.
He started having visions.
"I will have an award right?"
"Of course you will."
"First take this. From me, a bottle award."
"For me?"
"Yes."
Bankotsu's dad put a hand on Bankotsu's shoulder. That's when he noticed his dad there, walking beside him. Bankotsu smiled. He walked on the stage.
The audience clapped.
Dai was still clapping. He muttered words under his breath as Bankotsu took the award from Para and Ryuichi. He took pictures with them. Bankotsu remembered taking pictures with some kids and another guy as he did this. He walked over to the microphone to make his speech.
"Yo, I just want to say. I …"
"I have tried that long to achieve you that everything …"
"I have tried that long to achieve you that everything conspires me to meet with you."
"They say if you want something…"
"They say if you sincerely want something to be yours, all the universe starts turning things to get you to meet with them."
"Today all of you…"
"Today all of you have made me meet with my love.
"Thank you…."
"Thank you. Thank you very much
"And today…"
"And today, you have all believed in me, so much. So much, that I feel like the king of the world. And I have also believed that like our films, our lives also get alright till the end. Happy endings. If it's not all right, then it isn't the end. The picture is still remaining."
Shikininto looked at Sesshoumaru and started clapping along with everyone else.
Jakotsu watched the whole thing on television. He gasped, remembering Bankotsu's speech. He realized it was really him, like Kora said. He smiled. "Banny."
Party
Bankotsu sat alone at a table. He saw his dad coming. "Bankotsu, come on. This party is for you. People are here you meet you-" Sesshoumaru saw Bankotsu looking around the room. He sat next to him. "Son, are you okay?"
"I don't know dad. I don't know. I was thinking… what if I wasn't your son. I wasn't Bankotsu Kira. I was some ordinary Bankotsu. Some Bankotsu, Then…" he looked the room again. "I could have never got all this. This stardom, name, and maybe in my hand…" he took a bottle of beer and held it. "I would have been holding a bottle besides an award, lying drunk somewhere. I… I want to promise you something today dad."
Sesshoumaru listened.
"I will work hard and I'll try to be a better actor. And if not that, I will try being a better son dad. Yea."
Sesshoumaru and Bankotsu got up. Sesshoumaru smiled. "Bankotsu son… I'm so proud of you."
They hugged.
After pulling apart, Sesshoumaru put his arm around Bankotsu. "Come son. This party is for you and the special guests. And get ready for the surprise."
One of Bankotsu's best friends, Sakura, stood on the stage with her back turned. "Ladies and gentlemen, this one's for my dear friend and my favorite hero. Bankotsu Kira. Okay. We love you."
She turned around and walked off the stage to Bankotsu. That was the surprise. Sakura and Bankotsu were going to sing the song from one of their movies.
Bankotsu began singing.
Look at this night; it's brimming with madness
Stories are created on such nights
Everything is so beautiful so charming
So many stars have descended on earth
No one has any wits left
Just us, our hearts and our lovers
There's complete madness in the air
There's no guide or leader
No one can be accused of that
Just total madness in the air
All hot girls put your hands up and say Oh I love you All cool boys come make some noise and say Oh I love you
The night is passionate, pulsing with excitement
Its intoxication is deep and strong
Silky tresses flowing
Slow breaths mingling
These are the signs
No one has any wits left
Just us, our hearts and our lovers
There's complete madness in the air There's no guide or leader
No one can be accused of that
Just total madness in the air
All hot girls put your hands up and say Oh I love you All cool boys come make some noise and say Oh I love you
Actually there's a lot of peace to be found here
But this heart has gone insane
Fill each moment with your dreams
And tell everyone
The secrets of life
No one has any wits left
Just us, our hearts and our lovers
There's complete madness in the air
There's no guide or leader
No one can be accused of that
Just total madness in the air
All hot girls put your hands up and say Oh I love you All cool boys come on make some noise and say Oh I love you
Oh I love you
The song ended. Everyone including Bankotsu began clapping. Then he stopped. He saw a man come into the party, smoking. His dad walked over to him. They hugged. His dad pointed to Bankotsu. As soon as the man turned to look at him, the memories started to come back. Bankotsu remembered when he first saw Kagome, how he met her, the time he pretended he was a star, the time he saved her, when Kagome gave him the snow globe.
Bankotsu gasped at all the visions coming into his head. He got more. He remembered looking out the window with his mom, him and Jakotsu touching their hair, him and his mom hugging.
Then he got the bad memories. Kagome trapped in the fire, pounding against the window, Inuyasha knocking down the sign by the door, and Kagome begging for him to let her put.
Inuyasha walked over to Bankotsu with Sesshoumaru. "Bankotsu son, meet my friend Inuyasha Takahashi. He's our top producer. He's been in Hollywood for the last 17 years. He just came back, and he wants to make a big movie with you. It's great. Inuyasha."
Inuyasha smiled and held out his hand to Bankotsu. "Call me Yash. Everyone in Hollywood does."
Bankotsu glared at him.
Inuyasha saw this and turned to Sesshoumaru. "Son, shake hands. Come on," he told Bankotsu.
Bankotsu held Inuyasha's hand with both of his. Sesshoumaru smiled. "Fantastic." He turned to Inuyasha. "Let's celebrate Inuyasha."
Bankotsu watched them leave.
