In the car
"That's unbelievable Bankotsu," Inuyasha laughed. "In such a short time you got a sad script and a heroine."
"Oh that's nothing. My people have arranged the opening ceremony."
"Oh god no. This ceremony, prayers…is this all necessary."
"By the way, I don't believe in all this either. That's why we have arranged the ceremony in such a place where no one would ever think of."
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow.
"Take it cool Yash."
"I like surprises."
"Oh yes, you'll be surprised," Bankotsu muttered as Inuyasha took a look at where they were going. Two security guards opened the gates as their car went through with three other cars following behind them.
Inuyasha stepped out of the car and stood next to Bankotsu. "What the hell is this Bankotsu? From all the places you found this one. You know this is the place where-"
"This is the place where the fire burned the whole set. I know. I know everything. That's why I chose this place. Its uh…it's called the circle of life Yash. The place where the unfinished story leaves off, it's the same place where it starts. Right?"
Inuyasha simply stared. Bankotsu shrugged and put on his sunglasses and sang, "Rock star Bankotsu,"and walked to the stage. In front of the burnt mansion through a media and crowd.
"Sir, can you tell us why you started Bankotsu Kagome Bankotsu again?"
"If we won't start it then how will it finish?"
Bankotsu turned around. "Hey Yash, come on."
Bankotsu and Inuyasha stood on the stage with some other people. Bankotsu had the microphone. "And this is the film's director…"Bankotsu put down the microphone. "What's your name?" Bankotsu asked the director.
"F Khin."
"Yes, my childhood friend, F Khin. F.E. Yea," Bankotsu said talking into the microphone.
Inuyasha touched Bankotsu on the shoulder. "You should have asked me once. I wasn't expecting this."
'There are many things ahead which you weren't expecting."
Inuyasha nodded.
"Here's the producer. His friends call him Yash but you can call him Inuyasha. Now, let's talk about the babe. This film's heroine…what's her name?" Bankotsu asked the director.
"Sango. But call her Dolly."
"My childhood friend, Dolly. Bankotsu pointed to the back of the crowd. "Oh, here she comes."
Everyone turned around and made room for Dolly to walk through.
Bankotsu put the microphone down. "You'll like her very much Yash. She is very sexy."
"Hmmm…I hope so."
A man opened the door to Dolly's car. A fat, unsexy woman in a lime dress putting on lipstick and holding her compact came out.
Inuyasha pointed to her. 'That…that's Dolly?"
"No…"Bankotsu spoke into the microphone so everyone heard. "This is Dolly's mom."
Dolly's mom walked to Inuyasha and Bankotsu.
"What's her name?" Bankotsu asked the director.
"Sandra."
"Sandra. My childhood friend."
Sandra shook hands with Inuyasha. "Hello Mr. Producer. You know, Baby was so excited that she didn't sleep all night. After I mentioned her dark circles, she finally dozed off."
Sandra walked to Bankotsu. "I never compromise with my beauty sleep." Bankotsu nodded his head. "Oh yea, I can see that. You look as special as a daisy."
"Thank you, you cutie."
"Okay."
"Hey, where's Baby?"
"Oh there…there's Baby."
The media took pictures as Dolly stepped out of the car, smiling. She fixed her hair and walked through the crowd. Inuyasha took off his sunglasses to get a better look at Dolly. She was beautiful. He extended out his hand to Dolly, helping her up the stairs. His hand traveled up to her shoulder. Dolly looked at his hand and then just smiled. "Hmm…beautiful. Beautiful girl."
Dolly laughed.
"Baby, respectfully greet him."
"Oh."
Dolly put her hands together and stared to bow down. Inuyasha held her hands and shook his head. "Oh no don't do that."
"Oh, she's so talented," Sandra complimented.
Bankotsu's cell phone rang. He looked at the number. It was Jakotsu. Bankotsu picked it up. "Hello."
"Hello, Banny."
"I'll get everyone ready and bring them onto the set. Is mom ready?"
Jakotsu looked back at Kora who was waving and smiling. "Yes," he answered. "But she is overacting too much."
Bankotsu laughed. "That's our family problem. Ten four." He hung up.
Jakotsu turned around. "Hey mom, let's go."
"Go? You don't understand. Let me come into my character."
"Your character is over at the set. They're waiting for us over. Come on."
Kora put a hand over her face. "I forgot my line."
"Your line is "don't go inside,"" Jakotsu reminded her.
At the set
"I need a ponytail like Yash in my next movie. Its cool," Bankotsu said while everyone walked to the set of Bankotsu Kagome Bankotsu. "I think it looks nice."
Inuyasha glared as the set came into view. It was the same set where he had killed Kagome.
Bankotsu saw Inuyasha glaring.
"Why did you put the set here?"
Bankotsu shrugged. "Obviously. I told you about the circle of life where the incomplete story starts-"
"I know."
"You know? That's cool buddy. Let's go."
Inuyasha glared at the broken window once more and followed behind Bankotsu.
"Don't go inside," Kora screamed, jumping in front of Inuyasha.
Inuyasha gasped. He walked backwards.
"Don't go inside,' she warned.
"What the hell is this?"
"Don't go."
"Security," Inuyasha called.
"She is waiting for you. She won't spare you."
Bankotsu came with the security guards. They pulled Kora back away from Inuyasha and Bankotsu.
"She won't spare you."
"Who won't spare him?" Bankotsu asked.
"Kagome," Kora laughed.
Inuyasha screamed.
"Mom," Dolly cried.
"Don't cry baby, your eyeliner will get ruined," Sandra told her. "She is just a psycho mom. Don't be scared.
"Is someone inside?"
Sandra paused. "It's possible."
Inside
Everyone walked through the door to the set of Bankotsu Kagome Bankotsu. "Nice set huh Yash? Isn't it nice?"
Inuyasha didn't answer. He looked around while the media took pictures.
Sandra ran to Sesshomaru. Bankotsu smiled. "Oh, dad." He also ran to him.
Inuyasha walked to the huge chandelier hanging in the middle of the room. He looked up and took a step back.
Bankotsu walked to Inuyasha with his dad and another man.
"Hello Inuyasha," Sesshomaru greeted.
"How are you Sesshomaru?"
"Inuyasha meet Miroku. Miroku meet Inuyasha," Bankotsu said introducing them to one another. "Miroku is the villain in our movie," Bankotsu told Inuyasha. "He's a dude like you dude."
They shook hands.
"Nice meeting you Miroku."
"You too."
"Okay, its time to break the coconut." Bankotsu said.
"What?" Inuyasha asked.
"Coconut breaking time,' Bankotsu explained. "Come on everyone let's go."
Bankotsu took everyone to the set of stairs. Inuyasha walked there slowly remembering pushing Kagome there.
"Priest," Bankotsu called.
Jakotsu, the 'priest', came carrying a tray with the coconut on it. "Break the coconut for kagome," Jakotsu sang.
Bankotsu picked the coconut up from the tray and handed it to Inuyasha. "Yes…for Kagome. Make sure it breaks at the first time Inuyasha or it's considered a bad sign. Right dad?"
"Of course."
"Come on Inuyasha, you can do this."
Inuyasha hit the coconut on the (hard) stair.
"Oh fish it didn't break," Bankotsu gasped. "Its okay Yash, try again."
Inuyasha tried. Nothing happened to the coconut.
Sandra put her arm around Sesshomaru. "Oh god. It is a very bad luck."
Sesshomaru smiled and nodded.
"Yea, very bad luck. Yash I'll do it."
"No."
"No?"
"I'll do it."
"One more time. Come on guys."
The crowd cheered him on. Inuyasha took the coconut and slammed it against the stairs. It didn't break.
Everyone sighed.
"Are you okay Yash?"
"What is this?"
"I know you aren't used to this. Who breaks coconuts in Hollywood," Bankotsu said, talking to stale for time. Bankotsu took the iron coconut from Inuyasha and placed it behind his back. Shikininto took it and handed him the real one.
"It's okay. Over here we do it. It's for peace. We can break all kinds of nuts." Bankotsu hit the coconut on the stairs and it broke into open into two.
Everyone clapped.
Bankotsu held the coconuts to Inuyasha and gave it to Shikininto before going up the stairs, onto the stage. He grabbed the microphone. "Yo, um, a lot of speeches today. But at this time, I want to give tribute to the person, the actress to whom this movie was actually written for. I believe, wherever she is, he is with us and looking over at us."
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Kagome Higurashi." Bankotsu held out his arm to the huge picture frame behind him covered by a drape. After pointing to the picture, the drapes lifted up revealing a black and white photo of Kagome.
Inuyasha gaped at it as everyone clapped.
"Now, I request Dolly, my childhood friend, to light the candle and take blessings from Kagome Higurashi."
The crowd applauded as Dolly
"And when she comes here, I will move there. Come on Dolly."
Dolly smiled and walked up the stairs.
Bankotsu came down and stood next to Inuyasha, watching.
Jakotsu stood on one of the balconies upstairs watching what was going on. Another man stood with him explaining about the plan. 'By pressing this button, the photo over there will produce sparks." He handed the button to Jakotsu.
Jakotsu nodded. "If the photo doesn't get on sparks, I will give you a slap."
"The sparks will happen."
They didn't know that the wires at the back of the photo had accidentally broken.
Dolly lit the candle by the picture with everyone clapping.
"One, two, three." Jakotsu clicked the button.
Nothing happened.
Dolly looked up to Jakotsu.
Jakotsu waved at Dolly telling her to wait.
Dolly bowed down to everyone. She turned around and bowed again, to Kagome's picture.
Bankotsu looked up at Jakotsu. Jakotsu shrugged. "I think the wire came out. There's probably a wire problem," the man told Jakotsu.
"How did the wire come-"
The picture of Kagome caught in flames.
Everyone took a step back, gasping.
Dolly turned around and screamed. Two men helped her down the stairs.
Jakotsu shook the button.
"Someone help with the fire," Bankotsu ordered.
Inuyasha didn't move his eyes from the burning picture. He got flashbacks remembering when Kagome was at the window, trapped in the fire.
"Step back everyone."
Inuyasha turned around.
