(Also sorry I kinda write Kagome like Im actually talking I think that's first person but whatever sorry XD)

Alright you'll have to forgive me here I'm not a real model so I'm not exactly sure how it works so if I make it seem um weird just try to go with it. Thanks.

 

OoOoOoOo

 

I, seriously, was having a nervous breakdown. We got there at about 8:00a.m. the competition had to start early because there were so many last-minute-people and such.

 

“Isn't this just exciting!” Yuka squealed in my ear. I had to admit the place was absolutely astonishing. The outside was black glass and the it was really big, about 10 floors, it almost look like it had the finest of everything.

 

“So this is what it looks like, even better than magazines!” The place was packed on the ground floor, you could hear everyone's conversations clashing together.

 

I sighed and waited in the huge line for a number. It took only minutes but it had seemed like forever.

 

“Name miss?” A short and stout little lady asked me as I got up to the front of the line.

“Kagome Higurashi.” I stated quietly, I was way too nervous to speak clearly.

“Alright then number 94. NEXT!” She passed me a little slip which had my number on it.

 

I quickly found Yuka, Ayumi, and Eri. “Okay, so like, what do we do now?” I asked embarrassed. I had never really cared so much about modeling so I didn't really know.

 

“Ah, it was posted on a sign that we were to go get seated. There closing all signups at 9:30 and then they'll tell us what were suppose to do. Evidently we have to go through some tests before we actually do anything.” Eri paused for a moment distracted by a guy nearby. I nudged her.

 

“Oh, yeah, right. Anyways, there is so many people that they need to eliminate some people right away by you know measurements and stuff. Then if you pass that qualification then you wait until, lets call it round 2, starts.” Eri finished and continued to search the crowd for some more good looking guys, cursing that she lost the other one.

 

OoOoOoO

 

“Alright, Everyone, please be seated. Ill now explain everything.” The girl I had been introduced to at the club was here, what was her name again, Sango?

 

“My name is Sango Taijiya, and ill be explaining everything.” She just simply smiled.

“Alright as I posted the first thing well do is take your measurements and make sure you qualify to compete.” She cleared her throat.

 

“As much as we wish, we can't possibly use all of you as models, we apologize.” She coughed. “ Now then the second round, as ill call it, is pretty much the competition. You'll put on something that we give you according to your measurements, we'll be using dresses today, and then when we call your number, given to you earlier when you signed up, you'll walk on the catwalk done to the end, stand there for about 5-10 seconds and gracefully turn around a leave.”

 

Sango stood up on her Tipp toes and searched the crowd. “Now I do see some men out there, were sorry but we aren't currently in need of male models, but you may watch. And don't even think about cross dresses, that's just wrong.”(Or at least it is in Sango's eyes)

 

“Lastly, we'll narrow it done to about 5 people. We'll gather the other 10 winners from previous days and decide who will win on Sunday.”

 

“Well I'm about done here. Is everyone clear on what were doing? If so, women, please go to the second floor and we'll take your measurements. DISMISSED!” Sango walked off stage as all the women on the ground floor, practically, ran to the elevators and stairs.

 

OoOoOoOo

 

An hour had passed by and there numbers hadn't been called. But then again all of them were in the nineties or so.

 

“89,90,91,92,and 93!” Sango yelled out. We all looked at our numbers excited. Ayumi was 94, Yuke was 95, Eri was 96, and I brought up the rear with 97.

 

As I watched the girls come out from there measurement “tests” with tears in my eyes, I could just feel my stomach tighten and even though it was tight I could also feel butterflies trying to dance in my stomach.

 

Whether I wanted to be here, in this competition, or not, it was still a competition, and I was nervous. I knew I would lose, but yet I held on to my last shred of hope.

 

“94,95,96,97,and 98!” A different woman yelled out this time, into a megaphone. We all locked hands and gave each others a hand a squeeze and quickly said our “Good lucks” even if we didn't exactly feel the good luck. We walked towards the designated area.

 

OoOoOo

 

I walked into the little booth. And I looked to my right and there was Sango.

 

“Oh, hey! You're the girl from the club, right? Kagome Higinashi?” She gave me a cute little smile and got out the measuring tapes.

 

I gave a little laugh at her effort to remember my name, it was close.

“Close, its Kagome Higurashi.” I turned my head so I could see all the people outside, and in a fleeting moment I saw a man with silver hair pass by. Inuyasha?

 

“Alright, Id love to chat, honestly, but I need to get thus through will. Please stand up.” Sango whipped the measuring tape all over my body, so fast I could barely register it.

 

“Alright, perfect!” She turned around and got what looked to be like a little ink stamp kit. “Hold out your right hand. I quickly held it out for her and she stamped a little P on my hand with a barcode underneath.

 

“What's that for?” She put the stamp kit away. “It signifies that you've passed. The barcode is so people don't try to imitate it. Now off you go, it's the third floor.” Sango gently pushed me towards the exit.

 

I waited near a potted plant for Ayumi, Yuke, and Eri. Eri was the first out grinning madly. “Kagome! Look!” She shoved her right hand into my face, which was identical to mine except for the bar code. I flashed her a smile.

 

I was about to congratulate her when Ayumi and Yuka came out with tear stricken faces. It was evident that they hadn't passed.

 

“What happened?” Eri screeched. They glared are her and wiped there tears. But Ayumi continued to cry.

 

“They told Ayumi she was a little to pudgy and for me they said that was face was a little long.” She gowled at Eri and me. “ I'm sorry, I'm way jealous of you two. Go on to the third floor, we'll be watching from the crowd.

 

OoOoOoOoOoO

 

We got the the third floor and were immediately asked to show our right hands. They let us through. We walked into the room and two ladies came up to us. One's name was Kagura and the other was a girl named Kaguya.

 

“Alright, names and numbers please?” Ask Kagura.

 

“Kagome Higurashi number 97 and I'm Eri Ayamani number 96.”

“Alright then 97 go with Kaguya and ill take 96.” Kagura and Eri left me as I was lead over to a seat with a 3 paneled mirror, and a desk cluttered with different make up contrainers with a computer on the side. The lights on the mirror were exceedingly bright.

 

Kaguya ran in a few different places, searching through clothes racks on the side of me and typing things in the computer.

 

“Alright” She said and walked over to me carrying a couple of dresses. “Choose which of these that you like.” All the dresses were beautiful. It was a hard choice but in the end I choose a long strapless white dress with black swirls all over it and a small train that dragged on the floor. It came with elbow length black gloves and a white sash that would be wrapped gracefully around my arms.

 

After choosing my dress, Kaguya, began pile a lot of makeup on my face. She used so many things that I couldn't even name it all. Then she styled my hair in a simple bun and added some curly black extensions on the bun, and finally just to make it look better, she placed a tiara on my head.

 

It was the first time in my life ever that I had felt like a queen, but it was surely not the last. I was about to stand up when Kaguya grabbed my feet. She began doing, God only knows what to them, and then she placed a pair of white laced stilettos, and the laces ran up to my thighs.

 

I finally was able to stand up. And I felt at least 5” taller and it was very hard to walk. I feared tripping. It was nearing 12:30p.m and I was even more nervous if possible.

 

I quickly found Eri shortly afterwards, and let me tell you she didn't look like Eri at all. I had difficulties in recognizing her. She wore a simple but elegant pink dress with sakura blossoming trailing up the side. Her face was loaded with makeup but it was shining brightly.

 

“I never even thought Id have a chance you know?” She whispered. I slowly nodded my head. I mean, yes, it was only the second round and about 100 people had made it and only 5 were to be selected.

 

I didn't know why but in my gut I felt like something bad would happen. It was just a sinking feeling in my gut, it was making me sick so I waved it off.

 

I could hear someone in a microphone saying something and a lot of hollering from the crowd outside. And then I heard someone giving us instructions but I couldn't hear them.

The time passed by quickly. I could hear some music pounding and my heart pounded in my ears with it.

 

They were calling out numbers to fast, and it was making me even for nervous.

 

“96! Eri Ayamani.” Eri practically ran to the catwalk. She walked confidently down the catwalk, as they announced her dress and her name etc. She stood for a while and then walked back.

 

And what I heard next almost made me choke. “97! Kagome Higurashi.” I stumbled and began walking out onto the catwalk. My legs were very weak and the lights hurt my eyes. I keep my eyes on the catwalk and I was near the end and I did what I feared most: I tripped on my dress, ripped it, and tripped.

 

The whole crowd burst into laughter. I just stayed on the floor for a few seconds. I got up slowly. I wasn't nervous anymore, just totally embarrassed my face flushed red. I guess I might as well finish. I walked to the end with my newly ripped dress and then did a fast walk off the catwalk.

 

By the time I got off the catwalk I was just in tears, I had never been more embarrassed in my life, I didn't think something could be more embarrassing, but I was wrong. And I would soon found out just how wrong I was.

 

It was a long day, from apologizing to the company for the dress, getting home, and dying slowly as I found out that they aired me on television tripping, for being the most clumsy.

 

Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi shared my pain but not quite so much. They knew I tried so they tried to comfort me, but they all broke out in laughter. So much for friends, or at least I thought. I just cried myself to sleep so embarrassed, I felt degrade.

 

OoOoOoO

 

I woke up pretty late for me, it was already 10:00 a.m. I was about to get dressed when the phone rang.

 

I picked it up. “Hello, Higurashi residence.” I answered it with my usual saying.

 

“Hello this is, Sango Taijiya, from Taisho Model Corp. Id like to congratulate you, you've made it to, well as I call it, the finals.”

 

OoOoOoOo

 

Alright that's it for now. 5 pages it's a record! Lol Just kidding.

Special thanks to all my reviewers, my bestest friends Ana and Tsubasa's Wings.
