Chapter 01: The Audition
"Now, Li-san and Hiirigazawa-san, if you don't get yourself a new teen singer by the end of this week, I'm going to have to fire the two of you," a big, ugly man with an unearthly mole on his face stated sternly.
A man, with chestnut, untamed lochs, nodded, his blazing, amber eyes lacking emotion.
He was a tall man with a lean, toned body and tanned skinned. He was quite the catch.
His name is Li Syaoran.
While Syaoran began to converse with his boss, the man next to him stared at the boss' mole, openly.
He had neat, blue hair with bangs that fell just above his eyes, and glasses that went over his azure eyes.
He also was tall, around the same height as Syaoran, with a lean body covered in pale skin. He was classically handsome.
His name is Hiiragizawa Eriol.
Syaoran's eye twitched and he nudged Eriol, hard, and Eriol yelled in pain.
The man raised an eyebrow at the two men as they bickered fiercely. Their boss coughed loudly and Syaoran and Eriol froze, turning their attention to the man.
Syaoran cleared his throat. "Mr. Yashima, you can't possibly think that's enough time to find a suitable, teenage singer, do you? Think of all the people that would come up for this audition! 3 days just isn't enough!"
Eriol went back to staring at Mr. Yashima's mole, dazedly.
"Mr. Yashima, you should get that mole checked! My, it's enormous, gigantic…no wait, no word can describe that thing!"
Eriol's eyes had grown wide by now, and his breathing had escalated.
Syaoran smacked his forehead with his hand, although, inwardly, he was cracking up.
Mr. Yashima growled and spoke in a dead low voice. "Have a new teenage singer by the end of this week. That's final. Now get out of my office and get to work!"
Syaoran and Eriol jumped in surprise and scurried out of the office, before they could get yelled at more.
Once in their offices, which were right next to each other, they burst out laughing.
They were laughing so loudly, they began getting a few strange looks from their co-workers. But they didn't care and they kept on laughing.
They made these jokes all the time, but their co-workers always thought they were a bit odd. They knew that Mr. Yashima couldn't find anyone better than them and that he was just bluffing about firing them.
So, they didn't show mercy on him.
Syaoran was the first one to stop laughing. "God, that was funny! That's got to be your best yet, Eriol!"
"Ya, I know! But seriously, the man needs to get that mole checked. I bet that mole could take over the world if it was alive!"
They burst into laughter yet again. This time, Eriol was the first to stop laughing, after trying hard to get recomposed, and he turned serious.
"Alright, Syaoran. Playtime is over. So, what do we do first? Place fliers for an audition? What's the age limit? 14-16? Girl, boy, or both?"
Syaoran sighed. "Come on, let's go get the crew and get started on this."
Eriol followed Syaoran as he made his way towards a small group of people.
He chuckled as he saw a young woman and man fighting and the rest of the group going on with their activities, as if it were a normal thing.
The girl was tall, with a slim, curvy body, and had her hair braided in two at the sides of her head. She had brown eyes currently filled with anger as she kept on hitting a man on the head with her hand. Her voice was strong and pretty loud for such a young lady.
Her name is Mihara Chiharu.
The man she was hitting was tall and lean with spiky, black hair. His eyes seemed to be closed, but when opened, they reveal brown eyes. He was currently covering his head from the girl's wrath and trying to tell her to stop.
His name is Yamazaki Takeshi.
Two other girls were leaning over their desks, drinking a mug of steamy coffee and talking. One was average height, with a slim, curvy body and short, wavy, red hair that reached a bit below her chin.
She had soft facial features and gentle, brown eyes. Her voice was quiet, yet she wasn't afraid to say what was on her mind.
Her name is Sasaki Rika.
The other girl was slim and curvy and a bit taller than Rika; Chiharu is tallest of the girls. She had straight, short, brown hair that went to her shoulders. The girl wore round spectacles over her curious brown eyes and had a round face. Her voice is always mysterious and soft.
Her name is Yanagisawa Naoko.
Near them, were two men and a woman. One of the men had spiky, red hair and hazel nut eyes while the other had neat black hair and sky-blue eyes. They both were tall and lean and known as the playboys of the company. They're cousins by blood.
The red head is Chang Xiao Lin and the black haired one is Aino Hiro.
The last of the group is a girl. She's tall, around the height of Naoko and has a slender body with curves. She has sleek, black hair that reaches mid back and tied up into two buns. The girl had a small face and fierce, indignant, ruby eyes.
Her name is Li Mei Lin, Syaoran's cousin.
Mei Lin smiled so widely that, if possible, her face would've split in two, when she saw Syaoran.
"SYAORAN-KUN!" she squealed, oh so sweetly.
Syaoran winced openly and reluctantly let her hug him. After all, she was family.
"Hi, Mei Lin…"he muttered and quickly got out of her grasp.
Takeshi, Hiro, and Xiao Lin gave Eriol and Syaoran hi fives while the girls just waved at them.
"So, Syaoran, what are we going to do now?" Naoko asked. The others looked inquiringly at him.
"Well, guys. We got an audition to prepare for." Syaoran stated simply. No more words were needed. Everyone got into places getting ready to make everything work out.
Naoko and Rika would work on the fliers. Syaoran told them all the information they needed to finish up and left them to their work.
Mei Lin and Xiao Lin would try to book the place for the rest of the week. Syaoran told them to book a place for 3 days from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM and they got to work calling every single person they could.
Eriol, Takeshi, and Hiro would go out to hang up the fliers everywhere in their freakin' little town and Syaoran would help all of them to the best of his abilities.
At the same time, far, far away from Syaoran and the crew, two girls sat in a café shop sipping little sips of their mocha lattes. They had just escaped from the blistering cold wind and sheltered in this café shop.
One of the girls had wavy, purple tresses that went down her back and bangs that were cut nicely above her defined eyebrows and amethyst eyes. Her pink lips let out a satisfying sigh as the steaming liquid went down her throat, filling her senses and warming her being.
Her skin was pale, but her cheeks were reddened from the cold outside. Her attire consisted of a leather, black jacket reaching a bit below her knees and high-heeled black boots over her purple faded jeans. Her top consisted of a light purple, almost pink, scarf with a black, long-sleeved shirt that brought out her curves.
She was definitely a beauty that every man would take a third glance at.
Her name is Daidouji Tomoyo.
The other girl was someone who you just couldn't stop staring at.
She had lightly tanned skin and her cheeks were pink from the horrid weather outside. Her auburn hair went below her shoulders and her bangs went to the side of her forehead almost covering her enchanting, emerald orbs.
Her pink, luscious lips opened slightly to exhale, as her delicate fingers reached up to finger a locket that was enclosed around her slender neck.
She was wearing a tight, black, long-sleeved shirt, that made knowledge of her curvaceous body, and a green scarf encrusted with fake diamonds. She wore a pink skirt that went to her knees and black tights reaching to cover her naked legs. Her white, sports jacket was put aside and covering her feet was short, green, suede boots.
On top of all that, she radiated pure innocence of a child to everyone that saw her.
Her name is Kinomoto Sakura.
Sakura let out a sigh. The serenity of the cafe and the calming scent of the coffee only got her to think of all the problems that was going on in her life.
Tomoyo looked up worriedly.
"A penny for your thoughts, Sakura?" A rose petal couldn't compare to how soft Tomoyo's voice was.
Sakura let a small smile grace her lips. She knows me too well.
"Tomoyo," she let her silky voice carry throughout the air, "a penny is too much. You know I'll tell you anyway." Tomoyo laughed softly, before letting Sakura continue.
"Since dad is in the hospital, Touya has been working his ass off to sustain our little family. He raises the money that buys our food and pays for my education," Sakura shifted uncomfortably in her chair, "Furthermore, the money pays for my rent for the apartment and he has Kaho and another child to take care of! Touya is going to look older than dad by the time he's 30!"
Tomoyo looked at her friend sympathetically. "Sakura, you know my mom and I have no problem whatsoever with lending you money. You're family."
Sakura gave Tomoyo a sad smile. "No, Tomoyo. You know we can't accept your money, not even if we are family. Come on, let's go."
Tomoyo nodded slowly and they gathered their things, leaving their warm shelter and entering the cold weather outside.
It had gotten a bit warmer since the last time they were out there so they decided to walk to Tomoyo's house.
"Tomoyo, I can't keep depending on people. I depended on mom to be there for me, but she cared about her job more. I depended on dad to fill her place after she died and give me a happy childhood life, but he got hospitalized till this day.
"And right now, I depend on Touya to raise the money in the house, for him to be the mother and father in their places. Don't you see? I can't do this anymore! I'm broke and I just wish I could find a good job…."
Right at that moment, a piece of paper smacked right into her face. Irritatedly, she grabbed the paper and looked at it. Her eyes scanned the information on the paper, before clicking her mouth in disappointment. About to throw it on the ground, Tomoyo grabbed it from her hands and read it.
A smirk made its way to Tomoyo's face. Sakura cocked an eyebrow. "Tomoyo, what's up?"
Tomoyo smiled excitedly. "Sakura, this is it! This is your way to living life the easy way! Don't you see?! God just granted your wish!
Sakura furrowed her eyebrows. "Tomoyo, this is an audition for girls aging from 14-16. I'm 22, damn it!"
Tomoyo laughed. "Oh sweetie, you thought you were going to go like you are! No dearest, we're going to dress you up—no, wait…we're going to dress you down."
Sakura let out a frustrated sigh. "Oh, sweetie, you forgot one thing! I can't sing! Are you out of your mind?!" Tomoyo waved her hand and rolled her eyes.
"Sakura if you don't know how to sing well, then I don't know how make your clothes! Can't sing, my ass!" And with that, dear Tomoyo dragged Sakura to her mansion.
