Dressing the Part

Prologue

She felt as it had been a lifetime. As if eons of slaving away validated this reward. She worked hard. she deserved one afternoon of happiness. One afternoon of guilt free pleasure. Her mouth was watering. She thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. Fear suddenly crept into her heart. It seemed too good to be true. Maybe she was dreaming. `Oh Kami! Don't let this dream end.'

But to her great delight he was standing there. No, he was walking towards her. She gasped. She would finally have what she wanted after so long. That delicious...fudge covered...hot brownie sundae. `I can finally have all the sugar I want.'

The beautiful raven haired girl took the first blissful bite of that sinfully sweet chocolate. She had just retired from her modeling career after successfully earning enough money to pay for herself and her brother, Souta, to finish out their high school careers in the finest all-girl and all-boy academies and go to college.

She was so glad to be done with all the dieting and make-up. She wanted to just go back to being a normal seventeen-year-old girl. But, as the her rapturous chocolate eyes were blinded by several bright flashes, she realized she could never be normal again.

`I can;t believe it! They find me no matter where I go!' These were the thoughts going through the mind of one Kagome Higurashi. She jumped out of her seat, turning back only to smell the untasted paradise to which she was forbidden and ran as fast as her Reebox would take her. Despite her career, she hated photographers.

They always seemed especially interested in her because she was so unlike the model stereotype. She looked natural, yet she had a perfectly curved figure.

She didn't get it. She wasn't a real model. She never took it seriously. She was just trying to help her mom after her dad died. While set in her bewilderment, she had managed to escape through the kitchen, out the back door, and into the crowded streets of Tokyo, where she had managed to blend in with everyone else in her baby tee-shirt and her low-rise jeans.

She just needed to lie low for awhile. She wanted to go away to school, but the last time they almost caught in her dorm room shower. They would probably be looking there again this year. Despondently, she cast of returning to Takahasi Academy for Girls. She couldn't think of another school that had a reputation even remotely close to te one of Takahashi. She would have to try to find somewhere they couldn't find her, but she felt as if she had ran out of options.

She decided to stop at the parkbench to her right and enjoy the sunset for a moment. She sent a silent prayer to the heavens for a solution. Little did she know that solution would come in the form of a phone call.
