Prologue

 

“Itachi Uchiha.”

 

“Too handsome.”

 

“Sasuke Uchiha.”

 

“Ditto.”

 

“Naruto Uzumaki.”

 

“Too damn cute.”

 

“Kiba Inuzuka.”

 

“Too wild.”

 

“Shino Aburame.”

 

“Too mysterious.”

 

“Haku.”

 

“Too pretty!” shouted Raidou Namiashi as he get on his feet and slamming the table in front of him that separate himself and the owner of Shinobi Model Inc., Genma Shiranui and Kakashi Hatake. “Which part of `I need a model that has ordinary face' that you don't understand, Genma!?”

 

“Calm down there, love,” said the honey-color haired guy to his life-partner that happened to be the hottest fashion designer in the business.

 

“Yes, Raidou, chill, will you?” added Kakashi, helping out his partner to calm the emotional burst of said man's lover. “Shinobi Model Inc. is the biggest model agency in the country, not to mention the best. We have the finest male-model here and we've never failed to fulfill our client's need. So have no doubt that we will find that model that you required for your newest collection.”

 

“True,” affirmed Genma, showing his one million Dollar smile before continuing, “Now Raidou, don't worry too much about this matter. Just go back to the newest collection that you've been work your nice ass off, and let Kakashi and I here do our job.”

 

“Oh, I'd love to, Genma, I'd love to, since I've tons things to do in my studio. But the thing is… I don't think you and Kakashi really get my point about this ordinary model.”

 

“Don't underestimate our models. They're a bunch of highly professional breed. They can be anything you want, even ordinary.”

 

“Now that's exactly where you got me wrong. I don't want models that pretend to be ordinary. I want models that ordinary people can relate to,” explained Raidou.

 

“Alright, Raidou, alright! I give up!” blurted Kakashi out of the blue. “You want Iruka, right? Now, for you and only for you, I would let my baby back in front of the camera, but just this once, okay?”

 

Raidou turned his head and looked at Kakashi direction. He was pretty sure underneath the mask - a legacy from the silvery-haired guy's modeling day - was one pleased smile. Too bad he had to ruin it. “No offense, Kakashi, but he's too old.”

 

“Too old!?” asked Kakashi in not so very friendly tone. “Take that back!”

 

“I rephrase that. He's too mature. Beside, if I need mature model, why bother look for other when I got you and Genma here.”

 

“Awww… that is so sweet,” cried Genma before paying attention to Kakashi who's at

that time already turned his back on them. “Right, Kakashi?”

 

“No comment.”

 

The icy retort startled the couple.

 

“Kakashi, please don't tell me that you-” Raidou stopped talking when he saw unmistakably rigid back in front of him. “God, you really are…”

 

Genma immediately sent his lover a warning through his eyes. A decade of living together had made them have a language of their own. Even a little twitch means something. And right now it means `Stop right there, say you sorry.'

 

“Hey, man, I'm so sorry, okay? I have no intention to insult anybody here.”

 

No response.

 

Another twitch from Genma, `Praise his precious.'

 

“Look, Kakashi, Iruka is a hunk…” said Raidou, decided to `listen' to his lover's suggestion. “… and that made him extraordinary and-”

 

“Okay,” cut the co-owner of Shinobi Model Inc., and just like that… the matter is closed.

 

Raidou looked at Kakashi in wonder while Genma snickered.

 

Instantly the masked man back to his seat and turn on his business-man-mode, “Now, let's get back to our business, shall we?”

 

“Yes, let's do that,” agreed his partner. “Raidou?”

 

“So, like I said earlier, I need a model that ordinary people can relate to because not everybody out there have your or your models' perfect look. If we want to talk statistic, your kind only covered… what? Five percent? Ten percent of the population?”

 

No one bother to answer that question and right away Raidou's deep voice filled the spacious office again.

 

“Most people out there are ordinary people who live an ordinary life and has an ordinary look. And those people are the ones who buy my clothes. That's the main reason why I became such a pain in the ass recently. I think it would be nice when those people look at my newest collection ad in the magazine, they would not feel bad about themselves. Got my point?”

 

“Perfectly,” answered Kakashi before looking at his partner beside him, “You know what this means, right?”

 

“Oh yes, it's been a while since the last time we've done this,” responded Genma excitedly.

 

Raidou raised his eyebrow toward Genma, asking, `What?'

 

“We're going to have an audition.”
