Chapter 5...........
Ring........Ring............
Ring........Ring............
A hand slid out from the blanket and slam it on top of the 'thing' without mercy.
Whack!
Silence......................
Oh gosh.....I thought that only my clock rings like a thunder in my ears, Ran's alarm clock is even worse. I climbed out of the bed lazily and reached for the clock that I had 'accidentally' knocked down to the floor. Umm....8.30a.m....why would I get up so early? Usually Kazuha would wake up at nine in the morning, but she seems a bit early today especially for a Sunday. Kazuha dragged herself towards the mirror and something slipped into her mind when she saw her reflection in the mirror.
"Oh...Yeah! Now I remember! I have an appointment in L.E.O.N at 10!" said Kazuha to herself. Kazuha was still confused and shocked that she was chosen to be a model. Why me? Suddenly, Kyou's words replay itself in her mind..." I dare to admit that she is kawaii...." Kazuha blushed at the memory. The first guy who complemented her...then another word slipped into her mind..."Ha...Ha...Ha...Ka...Kazuha...that tomboy...a model? Ha...Ha...Ha..." Kazuha scowled. That no good Heiji laugh at me! Never mind, at least there is still someone who have taste not like him. Tasteless!
Kazuha brushed her teeth, changed into a pair of jeans with sleeveless top and went downstairs to have breakfast.
Ran had just place the bacon on the table when Kazuha stepped into the kitchen.
"Ohayo!"
"Aho! Your last!"
Kazuha ignored Heiji and went to sit down at her place. Hmp...first thing in the morning...as usual from Heiji. Ran then place her breakfast in front of her.
"Arigatoo! Do you need help?"
"No, thank you. You're a guest, remember?"
Kazuha smiled and picked up bacon and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Ano.....Ran, are you doing anything else after this?" asked Kazuha.
"No...why?"
"Well...I need to go to L.E.O.N at 10 and I wonder if you could accompany me...I'm a bit nervous..."
"No problem. I'll go changed and we will go together when you're ready." Ran smiled. She wanted to know more about this 'modeling' thing since Kazuha's in it.
"Arigatoo!"
Heiji was looking at Kazuha with suspicion in his eyes; he still couldn't understand why Kazuha was chosen of all people.
"Hmph......maybe he has no taste after all....OUCH! Who did that?" Heiji looked up and came face to face with an angry looking Kazuha holding a frying pan that she had snatched away from Ran. "Oops...did I just say that out loud?" said Heiji sheepishly. "Heiji, DO AHO!" shouted Kazuha into Heiji's ears and left the kitchen muttering curses under her breath. Heiji rub the bump on his head carefully. "What's wrong with her? That violent girl!" Shinichi and Ran just looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.
Kazuha went up to her room to get changed.
Heiji is such an AHO! He doesn't have to say such a thing to me! It hurts me so much! Hmph! I hate him! I hate him! Kazuha covered her mouth instantly. What am I saying? I...I don't hate Heiji....I...I like him instead....don't kid yourself Kazuha, you not only like him, you love him.....but....he hates me....
A lone tear slid out from the corner of her eyes without her noticing......
"Kazuha! Are you ready? It's 9.30 already!" Ran shouted at the stairs.
"Hai! I'm ready!"
"Let's go then!"
"Oh yeah, Shinichi! We might be late so you and Hattori kun will have to....." Ran doesn't know what time they would be coming back and she was afraid of having Shinichi cooking at home, he might burn the whole house down.
"Eat outside....." Shinichi sighed....as usual....Ran just won't let him cook!
"Yes, see you guys later!"
"Wah.....its.....it's.....so.....tall........." Kazuha and Ran were standing in front of a tall building named L.E.O.N. Gulp...do I really need to go in there? I seems so 'tiny' in here...thought Kazuha.
"Well, Kazuha, aren't you going in?" asked Ran.
"Uh....hai!"
"I just hope that we better not get lost in there....."
Kazuha and Ran both went to the information counter; it seems to be a little bit too difficult to find Kyou's office in such a large maze.
"Ano....may I know how can we get to Mr. Fujitaka Kyou's office, please?" asked Kazuha politely to the receptionist. The receptionist looked at Kazuha briefly before she spoke. "Ah...you must be Ms. Toyama Kazuha, am I right?" asked the receptionist. Kazuha nodded. "Mr. Fujitaka is waiting for you, kindly follow me please." bowed the receptionist politely.
Kazuha and Ran followed the receptionist, turning from left to right, right to left, and then they stood in front of a lift. Kazuha notice that even the floor is decorated with luxurious mahogany carpet.
"This lift will lead us to Mr. Fujitaka's office. Kindly follow me please."
Gulp....this...this place is so rich...luxurious....even the receptionist here dress better than me! Wonder how's Kyou's office look like? , thought Kazuha.
Ting......
"We are finally here. Have a good day, miss." The receptionist then left Kazuha and Ran.
Kazuha and Ran stepped out from the lift to come face to face with a door with a sign written 'Fujitaka Kyou' .
Kazuha was going to knock the door when the door suddenly slam opened, knocking Kazuha down to the floor.
Then a tall figure stepped out. Kazuha winced with pain. Uugh....who the hell is that?!
"Kazuha! You're finally here!" Kazuha looked up and said. "Do you always bang your door, knocking people...." Kazuha stopped talking and gaped at the guy in front of her, even Ran stares. There stood the photographer of L.E.O.N, Kyou Fujitaka dressed in black suit and unbutton collar with his necktie hanging loosely around his collar looking so....sexy.......
"Kazuha! Kazuha! Hello, anyone home?" Kazuha was snapped into reality immediately. Ran looked at Kazuha wondering did she dozed of or something, sure that Kyou is handsome and appealing with that suit but she doesn't have to stare that hard. Then she turned towards Kyou and smiled while Kazuha told Kyou that Ran was accompanying her. Kyou just smiled back and welcome them into his office.
In the office......
"So, Kazuha are you ready?"
"Ready? For what?"
"To be a model of course! But first, you must take modeling lessons." said Kyou smiling at his new found model. Kazuha was dumbfounded. "Mo..modeling...lessons? Are you kidding?" asked Kazuha. "Well, I'm not joking. Being a model, depending on looks won't bring you anywhere. We need model with looks and most importantly with STYLE...." said Kyou while bringing up his hands to emphasize his words.
"He...he...he....I will try my best...." Kazuha laughed nervously. Yeah....I try my best.....I guess....Kazuha sighed.
To be continuing.......
