Back then, Inuyasha had been just a project director Takahashi's fingers had itched to pick up. Chie-sensei had originally come up with the idea. She had written the story board and even some tentative scripts. Takahashi had loved it from the start. Still, at that point, they were still trying to find the funding necessary to bring the project to life.
Of course, even though there had not been an official ok to Inuyasha becoming a TV-drama, Takahashi was so excited about the project that her mind was already taking leaps and bounds. The story wouldn't leave her head, and the characters were starting to take a life of their own. Her thoughts were constantly on practical matters such as the set, the designs, the special effects… There were a lot of people she needed to get into the production – if they managed to get the funding and get the project going.
One of the things that kept her pondering was the cast.
She wanted to make a good show, so she needed the castings to be perfect. She already had a few names on her mind. She wanted in recognised actors of the current generation, but to make a better mix it would be good to have someone with long and successful career on her team. She wanted charisma and chemistry.
That day, she had just had a meeting with producers who had seemed to be interested in the project. They hadn't given their answer yet, but Takahashi was feeling very hopeful.
She was in such a good mood that she decided to celebrate with a slice of cake and stopped by at a café.
She bent down to study at the cakes on display, when a polite voice caught her attention.
"Welcome! What can I get you?"
Takahashi's sharp gaze washed over the young woman. Bright smile. Energetic brown eyes. There was a certain charisma about her, somehow she managed to appear strong, yet feminine at the same time.
The most astounding thing, though, was the feeling of soothing purity – a touch of innocence – that completely captured the director.
Kagome.
This girl was a real-life Kagome.
