InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Inuyasha Cast: The Off Stage Story ❯ Personal Day ( Chapter 9 )

Day 8: Personal Day

The Director was banging his head against the wall of the studio in a futile attempt to wake him up from something he deemed was not possible to be real. "I can't believe everyone of them decided to take a sick day! And today too... Miroku and Sango were going to perform and everything was supposed to be right in the world!" He looked sadly at the newly fixed, yet empty, set and sighed. "I might as well go home then...."

As the Director leaves the set, the cast happens to be relaxing at home or out about random bits of business. They had all agreed to take a 'sick day', aka a personal day after the disaster from last time. And this wouldn't be much of a chapter if we didn't decide to follow some cast members to find out exactly what makes a personal day a personal day for them.

Naraku was moping about in his baboon suit after the death of the plants he so loved. He was currently trying to make little tombstones for each one of them. He had a small chisel and hammer and was taking out some of his depression on the rocks he was using to make them in. The flowers had already been buried, the little mounds evident in his backyard. The patio table he was sitting out was littered with chiseled remains of the tombstones.

He had only a few tombstones done and they read such things like...

RIP- Tulip

May it rest in that garden above,

Where the baboons roam free,

And where there are no mutant veggies to

Turn ye evil.

RIP- Rose

May the mutant veggies not follow you

Into the great garden beyond,

Broccoli is the food of the devil.

RIP- Petunia

A green death has befallen,

A poor innocent plant,

Get rid of all broccoli,

Wherever they lurk.

(AN: Yes I know, the tombstones are lame but this is Naraku we're talking about. o.o; He's almost as bad at poetry and stuff like this as Inuyasha and that's saying a lot...)

He couldn't seem to let go of the fact that the 'mutant veggies', aka broccoli, had killed his plants. Naraku remained silent as not to disturb there, as he put it, 'poor innocent confused plant souls as they searched for the great gardening center above!'

Nothing much else seemed to be happening here. Except in the area of the kitchen, which seemed to be the sound of crashing of pots and pans. Upon closer examination you would hear a scream and see shadows playing against the walls in the form of what looked like some broccoli survivors from the disaster a few days earlier cooking what looked like to be a random solicitor who had been unfortunate to try and sell some plant fertilizer to the tweaked vegetables.

Naraku seemed to be vaguely aware of this until a large meat cleaver flew past the front of his face and embedded it right in front of his Tulip's grave. His eyes grew wide and he ran into the kitchen upon which a lot of yelling, screaming, and yelping was heard. An hour later Naraku was out of his house with a few suitcases in hand.

Sesshomaru was watching Rin as she ran around the tree she was tied to with one of those devices you put on toddlers when you don't want them to go off somewhere. She was running around one way and as soon as it got all twisted up she ran the other way. In Sesshomaru's view this was quite pointless and only served to dizzy him. He looked away to the task to trying to manicure his nails as he waited for Jaken to return from the Dry Cleaners.

Rin had been chewing gum while she was near Sesshomaru's Fluffy Boa. A big bubble was blown and then popped. Sesshomaru was lucky enough to get the gum out of Rin's hair but the same could not be said for his poor Boa. The middle section had taken up what Rin claimed was a lovely pink color. This was the second offense Rin had made this week so it was pretty much obvious that Sesshomaru was not happy.

Neither was Rin for that matter. She was hoping that by making all these dizzying movements Sesshomaru would give up on the her punishment and let her go off and enjoy the sick day in her own way. But it only served to make her fall to the ground on her bum and feel ready to throw up.

Jaken came scurry quickly to Sesshomaru, tripping over Rin in the process and the Fluffy Boa flew up into the air and into a mud puddle. Sesshomaru's eye began to twitch as he cursed the bad weather they had yesturday, Jaken for tripping, and Rin for getting the bubble gum in it in the first place.

Jaken looked slightly worried as he says Sesshomaru's expression and slowly made his way to the Boa. He picked it up gingerly as if it was going to strangle him, which was quite possible at the way Sesshomaru kept looking from it to Jaken. Jaken chewed his lip in indecision as Sesshomaru began to speak.

"Jaken... go take that back to the dry cleaners. I don't think they did their job well enough." Jaken sighed and nodded as he walked off with the Boa slung over his shoulder. It was bad enough he actually worked for Sesshomaru but he had to act as his servant in the show as well. Jaken had always wanted to act so he got an agent to work out auditions for him during his free time. It hadn't gone as well as he planned but at least he now had a side-job, no matter how bad the part...

Rin was now resorting to chewing through her restraints, she had started this about the time Jaken tripped over her and was almost through the second strap. Sesshomaru finally noticed a brown haired little girl running past him yelling, "I'm freeeeeee!", and proceeded to chase after her.

A sound of pattering feet, the opening of a mailbox and its closing and then the receding of the afor mentioned feet was all that was heard at Koga's. Inuyasha, who had been lurking behind a tree across the street, quickly came out and took out the letter that had been placed in the mailbox. He walked off as he opened the pink, frilly, highly decorated letter that even had a heart sticker used to close it.

Sango was sitting at a highly renowned Health Spa getting the works. Until she claimed the male massue(sp?) looked at her in the wrong places and began to beat the crap outta him for it. Due to the lack of her handy boomerang she had on set to use on a certain perverted houshi, flowerpots, and other random things in the spa house served as substitutes.

When the massue was beaten up to her satisfaction she left the spa, leaving extra money to pay for the damages down, and headed off into her car to find something else to do on such a fine day. She settled for going to the park for a breather, as a certain male happened to sit down at the base of a tree nearby. Sango sighed, spending so much time with Miroku on set had honed her senses to know when he was planning on trying something and this was one of those times.

He slowly made his way to the bench she was sitting on, as he made it onto the opposite edge of the bench he began to scoot closer towards her. Sango had taken the precaution to bring a taser(sp?) with her before leaving the car, suspecting that she'd find Miroku here and pulled it carefully out of her back pocket so he wouldn't be able to see.

As Miroku got into striking range, Sango turned on the taser and then quickly turned and jabbed it at his stomach, which successfully stopped his hand that was making it towards a familiar place. She calmly put it back into her pocket after turning it off, as Miroku waited for the effects to wear off.

"I can't believe to tried that in such a public place. Sometimes, you surprise even me Miroku..." With that she walked off, leaving Miroku there to contemplate what had just happened.

Back at the studio, late into the night, a shadow could be seen swinging from ceiling light to ceiling light for reasons unknown. There was also another shadow, much smaller than the first, which seemed to be drawing on the walls with another shadow about the same size.

Sesshomaru was outside nearby still looking for Rin. How a 6-year-old little girl outran a full-grown demon was beyond him. But he was set on finding her. He wasn't exactly too keen on having to notify the police to try and find her, but if he didn't find her by tomorrow afternoon he would resort to it.

Everyone except Sesshomaru, and the three shadows in the studio were already asleep. One thing the director could actually look forward to was the cast actually showing up for work….

AN: Another chapter done… *blinks* If I get inspiration I should be able to get Day 9 done before going home!

~Fanfiction.net Review Reponses…

Eternal_Rain: Uhhh, sure, why not? But can you give me a link to the site so I can check it out? O.o;

Afriel: I have no clue how to get Vanilla Coke out of a keyboard, may be because I don't have any Vanilla Coke to spill on a keyboard sadly. I may end up adding Keade, along with other characters like Ayame, Bankotsu, ect., to the story at a later time. Be more careful with your soda too. I'd hate to be responsible for anything happening to innocent keyboards. =O
