An Unscripted Secret
By Lil6ter
Chapter 5
That night was the last time she saw him until the casting party she threw. She was reluctant to let him go the next morning, but she had work to do and there was nothing to stop her from completing it, save for the half naked man in her bed almost begging her to not go just yet.
It wasn't that she did not want to see him, it was quite the opposite really, but she just couldn't see him since she had no free time. She would come back to the hotel after a long day in the film industry and collapse on the bed exhausted.
That is not to say that she did not find time to talk to him though! They talked to each other at enough times in a day to get both Koga and Miroku suspicious.
She could not help but think of that a conversation that they had had perhaps a week ago during lunch as she dressed herself for the party she was throwing. It was a black and white “envelope” dress that radiated classiness.
They had gone out for Chinese food again, as was slowly becoming their routine. Miroku and Koga had become used to the silent nature of the woman in their midst and were bickering good-naturedly with one another about different aspects of the film. Kagome, while listening to them, could not help but think about an attractive half-demon that she could not seem to get to leave her mind. She could still picture him as he was that one night that he came to her hotel room. She replayed the moments that he lifted his shirt off of his person and dropped it onto the floor before his hands landed on the button of his pants before working on the zipper. Sometimes in her mind, he did not stop with just his pants. The thought was daring and sinful, but such an idea still swept through her mind no matter how many times she tried to stop thinking about it. She could still see it happening all so very slowly. His hands would lower the zipper before pushing the heavy jeans down to the floor, creating a thump as they hit the ground and forcing him step out of the pants to kick them away. Then his hands would link the thumbs into the waistband of his boxer-briefs and push th…
Her phone rang, pulling her from her fantasy of the man she wished that she could see. Perhaps that is why her daydreams had gotten so bad. She could not see him, so her mind took to fabricating things that never happened between the two of them. Her phone rang again and she felt the eyes of the two men on her as she sat beside them. Her phone rang a third time and unable to deal with the looks that both men were giving he, Kagome grabbed her bag and riffled through its dense contents to find her phone. Her face lit up considerably when she saw the name of the caller.
“Hey,” she said happily, adding a bit of huskiness to her voice. She was still on her mission to prove to him that she was not afraid of her sexuality.
“Hey,” a masculine voice replied. Oh how she loved the sound of that voice! “Now a good time to talk?”
“Maybe yes…maybe no…”
“Heh. Tease. So how is the movie going?”
“Well enough I suppose. I do not really know what all is going on. I just get the say on if I like the job that everyone is doing and if not then I make sure that I get my point across,” she told him before murmuring into the phone, “just like I did with you the day we cast you.”
“Sounds like you like the power then.”
“I might.”
“Oh come on…don't lie. I know that you do.”
“Ok fine. Maybe just a little,” She confessed, smiling at his joy-filled laugh.
“Well, I won't keep you from that for much longer. Since I have not been able to see you though in a long time and we just got the invites, I was wondering if you wanted to meet up with me at this casting party thing.”
“As in a third date?”
“It depends on where we would end up at by the end of the night, but we can start off by calling it that, yes,” he murmured huskily into the phone.
Kagome had a thing or two that she would have liked to have said to the man on the other end, but she knew that she had two pairs of ears listening intently to her every word.
“I'll meet you there then.”
“Good. I'll call you this evening. Good bye, Kagome.”
“Bye.”
The second that she flipped her bulky blue phone shut, the men next to her pounced, starting with Miroku.
“Why Kagome! We did not know that you seeing anyone!”
“That would explain the phone calls though.”
“Still! So, who is the guy that has managed to capture the eye of our little writer?”
“It is none of your concern,” she told them, the authority in her voice violently piercing through any of their hopes to learn more about her social life. What she did in her free time should not concern them. They had their own lives to worry about, and they should not be butting into hers. Who she dated had nothing to them, and would not affect the movie in any way, so they should just leave well enough alone. Kagome picked up another egg roll and bit into it so hard that the two men with her could hear her teeth come into contact with each other.
Who ever knew that a simple question like that could warrant such a reaction from her.
They nervously looked at each other, both finding it rather difficult to believe that this was the same Kagome that they had willingly gone to lunch with.
“So,” Miroku asked nervously, “when will the festivities start? For your party, that is.”
“I was hopping that everything would begin at about seven,” she replied as she finished of her egg roll. She was still on a quest to prove to Sesshomaru…Inuyasha that she was not afraid of her sexuality, and that she could stay up that late, and later. Damn…that was one hell of an egg roll. She needed to get these when she came here more often.
“Seven? That's a little on the early side, don't you think?” Koga asked, but quickly regretted it from the look on Kagome's face. She looked positively crest fallen. Like he had just come into the restaurant and told her that he had just found her prized beagle lying in the middle of the road tire tracks all up and down its crushed little body. On the upside, he knew that she did not have a beagle, so it wasn't really dead. “I guess that is actually a good thing then,” he quickly said, trying to pacify her. “After all, the sooner it starts, the sooner it will be over, and the sooner we can get to sleep. We have a lot of work coming up in the next few weeks.”
She smiled softly at what he said. They would have a lot of work in the coming weeks, and she could not wait to begin, mostly because she would be spending a large portion of her time with Sesshomaru…Inuyasha. She looked longingly at her cell phone, praying that it would ring again, indicating that Sesshomaru…Inuyasha was trying to reach her. She missed him so much…oh how she truly did miss him!
That was then, however, and this is now, and in the time between then and now she had done a lot of thinking. Now, while she hated her end decision, she was sure that it was the right one for everyone. It was what was best for her, and best for him, and it needed to be done now before anything happened.
She bit her lip nervously as she stared at her reflection in the mirror.
It was the right thing to do. She had to do it. She had to put a stop to their relationship for now. Things between them could wait until after the movie and after its release. So what if they would have to wait a year or two to put some time between the movie's release? If she valued Sesshomaru…Inuyasha, then she would have to respect his career. This was his big opportunity to make something of himself, and he was going to be examined under a microscope over the next few months, and eve after. How would it look if people found out that they were dating, even though they really weren't? It would look like the only reason he got the part was because he was sleeping with her, something that was completely and utterly untrue. They needed to stop now, no matter how much she wanted them to keep going.
She looked in the mirror and saw her eyes starting to get red and puffy. It only made sense, seeing as she finally met a man that that like her: really and truly liked her, and she had to put an end to what little relationship they had.
It was for the best, and she knew that.
That did not mean that things were going to be easy and that she wanted to tell him, but she would. She would tell him tonight, regardless of how she felt.
A/N: Ok…what is my excuse for being late? No internet. Not kidding. Its not like I got in trouble or have bad grades, but the internet died here because all of the snow warped the internet wire outside. It was probably about a week ago ish that we got it back, but posting takes ME a while so I wanted to wait an extra week before I put anything up juuust to be on the safe side. No AR's this time…they would take too long and I would get further behind in posting. I will do them along with chapter 5's. I hope that everyone enjoyed this chapter, and there is NOT a sneak peak this time because while I have chapter 6 mostly written, I have yet to voice automate it (aka…talk to the computer and have the words show up on screen) or type it. Sorry…please don't kill me?
