Chapter 7 The Meeting
Everyone signed in the hotel. Then they were guided towards their rooms. Each crewmember got their own individual room.
Kurasa looked around her room. It was perfect. She loved it the moment she had stepped into the room. It was pretty big. A big room with a big bathroom and a balcony. The bed was queen sized with fresh flower smelling sheets and blankets.
She unpacked quickly and took a shower, then rested.
The next morning, she decided to go for a tour. She dressed into faded jeans and a mint green shirt with the collar lined with gems. She stepped out of the 5 star hotel onto the streets.
Kurasa's eyes widened at the sight of everything. 'Whoa'
She visited all stores and a few cafés. She tried everything: bread, Chinese food, a Chinese dress, modeled a few clothes to decide if she should buy... and other stuff.
Kurasa abruptly stopped; she backed up. 'Tomo Tachi' (a group of friends, like when categorizing or grouping i.e.: buta tachi buta means pig, so buta tachi means the group of pigs). Her face broke into a wide smile. She went in.
A bell chimed. Welcome.
Kurasa looked around, there were racks and racks of clothes. All from the fashion line of Tomo Tachi by.... Guess who... Tomoyo Hiiragizawa!!
She looked around. 'Wow, Tomoyo's sure been keeping busy.' She admired everything. She also picked a couple of clothes to try on.
"Oof."
Kurasa bumped into a lady while looking at dresses.
"Oh my gosh!! I'm so sorry, please excuse me. I'm so clumsy; I wasn't looking where I was going, o!! Darn it!! I'm so sorry!!!!" Kurasa blabbed.
"Hey, hey. Calm down would ya?" The person that Kurasa had bumped into said while grinning.
"I am truly sorry."
"Its ok, no big deal."
"Here." Kurasa picked up and gave the lady the clothes that she had dropped.
"Thanks."
"My pleasure.... I'm Kurasa Namato." (Lets say she's fluent in Chinese) And she stuck out her hand.
"Hello, Namato-san. I'm Meiling Li."
Kurasa's face showed surprise. "Li...?"
"Yup." Meiling replied brightly.
"Are you in any way related to that model person?"
"Yeah, we're cousins." Her thoughts particularly concentrating to the "that model person."
"Oh, hello."
"Uh, hi."
Awkward silence....
Kurasa broke it. "You like this fashion designer?"
"Are you kidding? I love Hiiragizawa's clothes!!! They are fantastic!! I assume you too?"
"Absolutely."
They grinned at each other.
At a caf
"So Li-san..."
"Call me Meiling, after all, we're friends now, right?"
Kurasa smiled. "Of course, Meiling! Call me Kurasa."
Meiling's face suddenly froze while looking at something.
"Meiling?" Kurasa waved her hand in front of her new friend's face.
..........................
"YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"HOEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! ME WHAT?????"
"You're that model from Japan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Everyone in the café became quiet.
Kurasa stiffened with fright.
"GET HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "AHHH!!!!!!" "CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH???" GET A PIC TAKEN WITH ME!!!!!!!!!" ARE YOU REALLY HER????" "SEE I TOLD YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Screams filled the air.
Kurasa grabbed her shopping bags and Meiling's hand and dashed out of the terror filled café.
She ran madly, pulling Meiling with her. Meiling was just hanging lifelessly as she was dragged along.
Finally about 10 miles away, Kurasa stopped.
Meiling just gaped at her while she panted.
"I'm sorry, I guess I overreacted, but I got scared."
Meiling started laughing.
"Hoe?"
"I'm sorry, laugh you surprised me with your agility... laugh and your face when I yelled laugh at you and... laugh you're so cute!!!!"
Kurasa kind of sweatdropped, but smiled in relief.
After Meiling stopped laughing, they strolled a bit.
"So are you her?"
"Yeah..."
"Wow, when I saw that cover of the magazine that girl was holding, I couldn't believe it. Why didn't you tell me before?"
"I... haha... uh. Forgot," she replied sheepishly.
"Oh. Oh well. Wow, I love you, as a model. Its great that I got to meet you in person AND become friends with you!!"
Kurasa laughed, her laughter ringing out like silver bells. "I'm glad that I met you too."
"Wow. So, can I have your autograph?"
"Of course!! I hope your not one of my crazy fans though..."
"No way!!! I have dignity!"
Kurasa chuckled. She glanced at her rose quartz watch. "Its already this time?"
"I guess it is... time flies when being attacked by a crazy mob."
"It sure does. Um..., can I stay in contact with you? I can give you my number as long as you don't give it to anyone."
"Sure. Here is mine."
"Well, it was a pleasure meeting you, I hope I see you again!" Kurasa said enthusiastically.
"Me too"
"See ya."
"Bye."
The pair split up and went their own ways. Kurasa started heading back to the hotel, but she was lost.
'Oh. Oh.' "MEILING WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kurasa sighed. Good thing she had caught up to Meiling, or else she would have been lost forever. Ok, not really, but still.
"Kurasa- chan!"
Kurasa looked up. Mina was headed towards her, waving her arm.
"Oh hello, Mina–san. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to tell you that tomorrow, at 12 PM, we're going to go meet the Chinese models and make arrangements."
"Oh. Thank you!"
"Any time, Kurasa-chan."
They headed in together. The sun setting...
Kurasa woke up, slowly, and not surely. Right after waking up the first time, she fell asleep again.
Then at 10:37, she opened her eyes yet again and groggily woke up.
She groaned as she got out of her oh-so-comfortable-queen-sized bed. Kurasa took a shower and then dressed up in one of her newly bought, Tomo Tachi's outfits.
Kurasa smiled, Tomoyo would probably go hysteric if she saw her right now. She had on an emerald green shirt with sleeves going only half way up her arms, a hooded white vest, and beige capris. The bottom hem of the capris was bordered by a vine design, curling and creeping up the two sides of her legs. She quickly brushed her hair and put it into a braid and tied with a green ribbon. A few stray pieces of hair hung around and framed her face. Satisfied, she put on a little lip-gloss and white sandals, grabbed a white purse and headed out to meet the others in the hotel lounge.
Everyone was already there.
"Ok, now that Kurasa has FINALLY decided to join us, lets go!" said Mr. Jordan teasingly.
They took the sub and in about 10 minutes arrived at the building where they were to meet the Chinese models and such.
As the doors automatically opened for then, they stepped in. Then, as soon as they stepped in a man walked towards them.
The man had black hair and hazel eyes. "Hello, I am Shane Ling. I am the co- manager of my crew. Are you the Japanese crew?"
"Yes, we are." Replied Jordan.
"Fantastic. Please follow me."
They followed him to a case of stairs and they climbed to the next floor. Then they walked through a hallway and towards the end room with a sign on it reading, "Meeting Room."
Ling opened the doors and they ambled in. There was a huge table lined with chairs on all sides. There were people already seated. They too seated.
The man at the head of the table started talking.
"WELCOM!!!" he boomed.
Everyone winced.
"We are SO happy that Chinese models and Japanese models are going to WORK together in the following days. I'm SURE that it'll be a GREAT success."
"Hehehe... Yes, I must agree. First of all, we would like to thank for the acceptance of this partnership." Said Jordan. "Now should we start on our plans?"
"OF COURSE!"
So they chatted and talked and planned. On Tuesday the following week, they would all gather at the nearby park, which was famous for its Syaoyue Pond. (It's named for one of my favored ff authors. )
It would be an end of spring theme... with end of spring things (I don't know what I'm talking about)
They would meet there at the building where they were now. Then they would drive there, with trailers/trucks so that they could change and do make up and things.
After finishing, they started chatting with each other. Shane found Kurasa and talked with her.
"Oh, so you're the model my fiancée wouldn't stop talking about."
"Hoe?"
"Hello, I'm Shane Ling, remember, the co-manager? Well, I'm also Meiling Li's fiancé and an extra cameraman..."
"OH!!! Hello! It's so nice to meet you. I'm Kurasa Namato. Your fiancée mentioned you to me. It's a pleasure meeting you."
"Likewise. By the way, have you met my cousin-in-law to be? He's Meiling's cousin and also a model. Xiao-Lang. There he is, wait a sec, I'll be right back."
Kurasa just stood there since it would be rude to leave, even though she didn't want to meet the oh-so-well-known-what's-up-with-that-guy Li.
Shane soon came her way, dragging someone behind him, and soon he reached her.
"Ok, Li this is..." Shane stopped as he saw the expression on his cousin's face. He looked at Kurasa who also had a similar expression.
There, is that enough? I wrote more then usual. Did I make you happy, Mikazukino Hikari, I tried doing what you told me to do... well, someone, I would greatly appreciate it if someone would tell me how to use italics and bold. And also, REVIEW!!!
PS I think I'm sort of losing my touch. Please give me advices!!!
