Sorry for the long wait

To all my reviewers: Thanks

Shooting

Day 1

All the girls auditioning for the role of the heroine for Bankotsu Kagome Bankotsu sat in chairs, reading their scripts.

"The value of one little kiss take five," the director said. Jakotsu read the script out loud, "What can you know about the value of one little kiss Ramesh."

"What can you know about the value of one little kiss Ramesh?" Her voice was too squeaky so they tried someone else. "What do you know about the value of one little kiss Yogesh?"

"Not Yogesh, Ramesh, now say it," Jakotsu told the girl.

Day 2

"Say one little…" Jakotsu started. "What is this one "little" price?" The girl asked.

Day 3

"Say it politely," Jakotsu said, sweetly. "What can you know about the value of one little kiss Ramesh?" The girl said, impolitely.

Day 4

"It is God's blessings-" the girl turned to Jakotsu. "I am atheist." Jakotsu sighed.

"It is God's…God's what?"

Kora clenched her teeth. She took a pen and started poking herself with it. "Kill me…kill me. Stupid acting. Kill me," she begged while everyone tried to stop her from doing so.

Day 5

"It's every woman's dream-" she laughed.

"It's every woman's dream, one little-" this girl sneezed, "kiss."

"Uh…what else?"

Jakotsu put a hand over his face. Kora stepped up. "Hey. It's every woman's dream, one little kiss," she reminded the girl, angrily.

The next girl just stood there. Jakotsu grew impatient. "Say something."

Day 7

"One little kiss, every woman's dream it is," the girl said getting the whole sentence backwards.

Day 9

Jakotsu walked up to an old looking woman. "Hey grandma, who let you in?"

"Who are you calling grandma?" She slapped him. "Grandma is my mom." Jakotsu held his cheek. "Oww…"

"Bye Bankotsu."

"Yea."

"If I was 20 years younger, I would do it myself," Kora said while leaving with everyone else. Only Jakotsu and Bankotsu were inside. "The pack up is over Bankotsu. This was the last batch."

"I know whatever. But none of them were like Kagome. You know that dude."

"We will find her Bankotsu. We will surely find one."

"We have very little time Jakotsu. In a few days Inuyasha Takahashi will return. How will we find her? How? Where? When?"

The door opened. "Excuse me…" asked a girl's voice.

"What?" Bankotsu shouted.

"Is Bankotsu Kira here?"

"No Bankotsu Kira is not."

"Hey go now. It's pack up," Jakotsu told her.

"Tomorrow? But the watchman said the auditions were still going on, and that Bankotsu Kira is inside," the girl said walking forward.

Bankotsu rolled his eyes.

Jakotsu shrugged.

"Look. I have come especially from Shanghai for this. Please give me just one chance. By the way I'm Kikyo. I just love Bankotsu Kira!"

Bankotsu put a hand under his chin, getting tired of hearing her talk.

Jakotsu sighed.

"I am a big fan of Bankotsu Kira. Actually the audition is just an excuse to meet him. I just-" Kikyo screamed.

"Oh fish she's fallen. Jakotsu turn on the lights please."

Jakotsu left.

"What?"

The lights turned on just in time for Kikyo to get up from the floor with her bag and look at Bankotsu. Bankotsu saw that she looked exactly like…Kagome.

I am with you forever and ever

Bankotsu stared at her.

The fans turned on too.

No matter how apart you are from me

Kikyo saw him staring. Her hair was blown back from the wind. She touched her hair slightly and stared back.

You will always be close to my heart

Bankotsu walked up to Kikyo, his hair blowing.

The dreams I used to say everyday let me say it again or no

In your eyes I always see love

He looked at her in her eyes

Oh in your eyes there is a strange beauty

Kikyo smiled. She was chewing gum. She blew a bubble. As it stopped getting bigger, Kikyo looked down at it.

Under your gaze I feel my heart has stopped beating

Bankotsu reached out and touched her gum. He felt her cheek. Kikyo melted. She fell into Bankotsu's arms.

Now my dreams are close to you and it has come true

Bankotsu smiled.

In the makeup room

Kora stood with three other girls around Kikyo who lay back on a chair, chewing gum. Kikyo blew her gum. As it popped, everyone stepped back gasping.

The three girls went to do Kikyo's make up. Kikyo smiled as her makeup was being applied. They wanted her to look exactly like Kagome.

When Kikyo was ready, she came out of the makeup room. She opened the doors and saw everyone: Bankotsu, Jakotsu, Kora, Shikininto, the director, and the three girls sitting on the couch. Everyone got up as soon as they saw her.

Kikyo wore a blue and white skirt with the matching skirt. But the skirt was too tight. As soon as she started walking, she fell. Everyone gasped.

Shooting

"Good morning everyone."

The director turned to his father who was asleep in the wheel chair. He woke him up. 'Dad, the hero is here."

"Really? It's only 11 o'clock."

" 'My Love' shot three, take one. Action," the director called.

Natasha and Toku were getting married. Bankotsu sat in his wheel chair, looking bored. "One minute director, take one more shot, for me. I can do better than this. Please, give me a chance."

" "My Love" shot three, take two. Action."

Bankotsu picked up a flower with his mouth that had landed on his wheelchair and threw it at Natasha and Toku.

With Kikyo

Kora showed Kikyo how to walk and wave. She practiced doing it while Kikyo and everyone else watched. Kikyo did the same thing as Kora did. Kora's back started to hurt and she put a hand on it while slumping. Kikyo did the same. Kora hit her on her back.

Kikyo tried again. She had gum in her mouth. Bankotsu walked behind her. Kikyo quickly turned around, holding her hand up. Bankotsu looked surprised. He smiled and nodded. Kikyo widened her eyes and fell on top of Bankotsu.

The next day, Kikyo came out of the dressing room dressed in an orange button dress. The girls clapped. But the buttons weren't buttoned down. Her dress fell open.

Bankotsu covered Shikininto's and Jakotsu's eyes.

The girls took Kikyo back inside.

"What do you know about the value of one little kiss Ramesh?" Kikyo said with Jakotsu pacing around the room, Kora by her side, and Bankotsu in front of her.

"It's god's blessings, one little kiss," Kora said.

"It's god's blessings, one little kiss," Kikyo repeated.

"It's every woman's dream, one little kiss."

"It's every woman's dream…" Kikyo laughed, "One little kiss."

Bankotsu clenched his teeth and turned around. "What's so funny? What's so god damn funny? Why are you laughing? Is this a joke? Bankotsu asked while walking to Kikyo. "What don't you understand? Jakotsu, she can't be our Kagome. She's not like Kagome. She's so stupid."

Bankotsu walked away. Kikyo looked at him. Bankotsu came back and held on to Kikyo's arms. "I know you're not an actress. And you can't act. But you can try. Everyone is trying here. Get out of here. Out."

"Humph."

Kikyo left.

"You made her cry," Kora said, going to Kikyo.

"Bankotsu, we are all trying here. The poor girl doesn't even know what this is, what our plan is," Jakotsu told Bankotsu.

"What plan? This plan will only work if Inuyasha Takahashi takes her as Kagome. She only looks like Kagome. Inuyasha will find out about her and then our plan will fail."

"Bankotsu then we must tell her everything. That this is and why its important."

Bankotsu sighed.

"Before acting like Kagome, she hast to understand her Bankotsu."

Outside

"Bankotsu Kagome Bankotsu is the story of my life and I should have told you earlier, Kikyo. Because without understanding the pain of Bankotsu, you might not be able to be Kagome. But even I did tell you, what would I tell? No one will believe this story." Bankotsu paused. "Not even you."

"I won't believe it Bankotsu? You jump from the 50th floor and stand on your feet, I believe you. You save the heroine from 100 villains, I believe you."

Bankotsu looked at the ground.

"You fly, walk on water, I believe all of that. Then how could you think that I won't believe this?"

Bankotsu looked surprised. "Hey…I'm sorry Kikyo. I really am."

"Its okay. There is still time. And this time I will truly try." She smiled. "And I won't let you down."

Bankotsu smiled with her. He pulled her close to him by grabbing her waist and kissed the top of her head.

In the make up room

Kikyo opened the doors and stepped out of the make up room. She wore the exact same outfit as Kagome did when she died. She also had her hair the same way.

Everyone got up, too amazed to say anything.

Kikyo smiled . She looked at Bankotsu and raised her eyebrow as if asking him "how's this?" And smiled again. Bankotsu walked around Kikyo, examining her. "Thank you Kikyo."

Kora cried. Jakotsu looked at her. "Mom."

"These are tears of happiness."

Jakotsu nodded.
