A/N's: Okay here's chapter four, even though NO ONE reviewed for chapter 3. I'm hoping I'll get at least ONE review for this one. My sister as you saw, is helping me on the story; so Blu with hopefully write some of the chapter as well... and not just leave it to me.
PAIRING: Seeing as how ONE person told me who they wanted to Pairing to be with...I'll decide, but I have a VERY strong feeling it will be A/M.
I Also know they don't tell you who got the part immediately, but bear with me for the sake of the story, Please?
By the way----I lied; I WILL be using SOME phrases in Jap. But only like Chan, Sama, San, Tanuki and things like that. Nicknames and suffixes, cause if I don't it doesn't seem right to me.

'Never again.' Misao chanted in her mind as she stood on the sidewalk shaking her head, she swore she would NEVER again ride in a car where Kaoru was driving. Thanking the gods that she was still alive, Misao readied herself for her audition, 'You can do this, Makimachi, and you've been waiting for something like this your whole life.' She thought trying to encourage herself, get rid of her fear...and failing miserably. Pausing in front of the glass doors, where a sign hung saying 'Open Auditions', she swallowed and began to hesitate.
" You all right, Mi-Chan?" Kaoru questioned, touching her petite friend on the shoulder, seeing her hesitation, Kaoru gave her a bright smile. "Come on, you'll do fine." She encouraged, pushing her own fear and doubt out of her mind, trying to usher the girl forward. " I know it."
"But what, if I don't do fine, what if I mess-up, or sing really off key...what will I do if they tell me I'm horrible." Misao exclaimed, anxiety and fear over riding her confidence.
"You'll be fine, Misao. You know your good, you can sing like no one else's business." Kamiya stated, trying to soothe her fears, while keeping her own worry out of her expression.
"Are you sure, Ru-chan?" the young singer asked, her voice higher than normal and holding a note of uncertainty, as she stared at the large building in front of them.
Shaking away her worry, Kaoru pushed her friend forward reassuring her with a simple, "Positive." while thinking to herself 'I know you can do this Misao, don't be so nervous. Don't back out now please.'
Allowing herself to be pacified, Misao pulled in a deep breath, and closed her eyes for a moment. Her moment of uncertainty melting away like a snowman in summer, she allowed her face to spread into a bright smile and whispered " I CAN do this." before spinning around a latching onto Kaoru arm, admonishing her.
"What are we doing waiting out here. We've got an audition to get too, come ON." she insisted dragging her laughing friend inside.
" That's what I was TRYING to get you to do, but YOU were just standing there like a statue in front of the doors." Kaoru stated laughing trying to match pace with her eager friend, while taking notice of the many people rushing around the building...and the many auditions.
Letting go of Kaoru's arm, Misao gulped. " There are so many people trying for the part." she commented, wincing in her mind. She watched as a tall black haired girl got up and entered a side room, an air of confidence and grace surrounding her.
"Mmmmmm, they all must want your part." the taller girl stated, trying to size up Misao's competition without being obvious. " We should find out where you're supposed to sign in."
Nodding her head in agreement, Misao began to weave through the crowd with her long braid swinging behind her, as she tried to spot where they could let them know she was here, but being so short she was at a disadvantage.
"Mi-Chan! I think that's it over there." her friend called motioning toward where several females stood in line. Pausing Misao studied the girls. They were all tall, with great complexion and each had a confidant look on her face. Feeling a slight tugging on her arm, she turned to find that Kaoru was next to her.
"Come one lets register you." Kaoru stated gently pulling her through the crowd, to stand in line, behind tall slender looking Hispanic, who glanced behind her in disdain.
Rolling her eyes Kaoru asked her friend about the song "Did you memorize the music, you choose?" her eyebrow arched
" Of course I memorized it, it really wasn't that hard the hardest note is a high D (A/N I KNOW NOTHING about music so don't hurt me) and the lyrics are fairly simple." The smaller girl replied in a bored, while watching the Hispanic girl go through a door and stand in front a panel of people. That was all she saw though before the door was shut.
" Well FORGIVE ME you Majesty, I didn't realize!" her agent replied her voice sarcastic, before rolling her eyes and giggling a little.
" Well you should have, I mean...honestly, don't I ALWAYS come through in the end!" Misao continued teasing her friend a little before turning her attention to the desk in front of her.
"Name, Age and Experience?" The male in front of her questioned without looking up.
"Misao Makimachi, 21 and High School acting and singing." She said a little uncertain before turning around and hitting Kaoru on the arm " you didn't say they were looking for someone with experience!" she hissed, her eyes a little wider than they had been a moment ago.
" Well the flier didn't say anything about it so excuse me!" she responded, rubbing her arm.
"Take this and go through the door on your left. Give the man at the piano your Music I hope you warmed up earlier." The nasally voice of the man broke through their argument, as he handed her piece of paper with a nimber 576 on it..
Taking the paper Misao swallowed the lump in her throat and nodded moving forward and entering the door he's motioned to.
"You can't go with her." The man said motioning Kaoru, whom had tried to follow Misao back " Friends and Family have to wait out here."
"But...But I'm her agent!" Misao heard Kaoru exclaim as she turned around, and watched as the man shook his head at her. Kaoru had always been in the room when she auditioned and to not have her there, to not have a friendly face in the room frightened her.
Seeing that she wasn't going to get past him she glared then noticed her frozen friend. " Go on Mi-chan you'll do fine." Kaoru said a gentle smile on her face.
Before watching her walk through the open door, Kaoru sent up a silent prayer that she would be okay. Before the door closed she heard a masculine voice say " Next Up Misao Makimachi, singing "On My Own."
