"Next up, Kagome Higarashi!"
Other auditioners talked among one another, looking around for the one named Kagome.
"Kagome Higarashi?!" The voice grew louder.
Chatters and laughter filled up the audition room, and there was still no sign of the one named Kagome.
The judges talked to one another side by side and continued. "Alright. Next up, Ayume Ichino-"
"I'M HERE!" The young girl came stumbling in as she clashed the doors open. Her face was red and she ran out of breath as she reached the front stage. "I-i'm here.."
The judges gave her a misunderstanding look, but they began to discuss the situation. Kagome gripped her hands together,
hoping that they would accept her tardy and let her audition for the dance. She began to sweat as they finished their talk.
One of them smiled and gave her a polite command. "Whenever you're ready, Miss Kagome."
"Th-thank you." Kagome stepped in the front a little more then nodded her head as the soundtrack played. She took a deep breathe as she moved her leg steadily around the area, then swayed her hands left and right to the beat of the music.
1. Believe in Your Dreams
She twirled around slowly and came to a stop as she moved her body soothingly; the judges were already interested in Kagome as she performed her other moves.
2. Shoot For The Stars
Her feet skimmed the floor's carpet and she could feel the vibration of the music. She cast shadows as her movements became more alive and free, and she managed to grasp everyone's attention.
3. Enjoy the Moment
She moved her hips perfectly in beat and her feet paused at the right moment. Her arms slithered as she held onto her body, then she released as she held her arms in mid air. Her rib cage seemed to appear through her shirt as she stretched, but they returned into proper place as she stood still in her pose. The music stopped. Everything was silent.
4. Make a Difference
Kagome stood still in position, then slowly released her body. The judges looked at one another and whispered in each other's ears; Kagome swiped sweat off her forehead and waited for their response.
"Miss Kagome.." One of them got up from their seat and gave her a smile. "We think you did a wonderful audition and we want you to join, but there is one thing that you lack most."
Kagome's smile disappeared into fear. "What is it?"
The judge walked up to her; her steps made echoes as she stepped on marbled tiles. She put her hand on Kagome's shoulder then smiled. "Are you really happy doing this? Is this your dream, Kagome?"
"It is my dream.." Kagome's voice faltered, but the judge shook her head and hugged her. "Smile more Kagome. You look more better with a smile on your face." She released Kagome out of her grip and looked at her. "Welcome to the team, Miss Kagome."
Kagome felt tears swell in her eyes but she wiped them off quickly. "Thank you."
The judge smiled once again and walked back to the table where the other judges waited. Other audition contestants murmured and paced themselves as Kagome walked out of the building, hoping that they would inspire the judges just like she did. But the judges knew none of them could outnumber Kagome's dance qualities; she was one of a kind.
