It's been a while, ne? Well here is a short chapter. My attempt at keeping the story alive even a little bit. I'm gonna have to make my chapters longer though... Apologies for any spelling mistakes. At some point within the next few months I'm gonna have to reupload all my stories after checking them thoroughly for mistakes and missed off letters. It's the most annoying thing in the world realising you've missed the 'S' off 'She' at the beginning of a sentence and have it come out as 'He'.
Well enought of that. Enjoy the shortness of this chapter. With any luck others will be a lot longer.

Chapter 4: Mr. Hiiragizawa Replies.

(Sunday)Sakura

"So, Marlon, did you contact Mr. Hiiragizawa?" Sakura asked as she got through to his office. "Because I did not just cancel my break for you to tell me you forgot!"

Marlon smiled, and stopped swinging in his chair.

"Of course I contacted Mr. Hiiragizawa. What kind of agent do you think I am? I am just waiting for his reply." He explained.

Sakura sat down, still peeved that she was missing her only break with her family.

"So, what's going on about that audition you signed me up for before?" She queried.

Marlon swung away from her.

"Well, I cancelled it. This movie is much better for you, image-wise."

"WHAT!" Sakura screamed, "What do you mean you cancelled? What happens if I am refused for this movie? Then what do I do?"

Silence followed.

"WELL?"

"Well… you have … a break." Marlon replied slowly and cautiously.

Sakura sighed. That wasn't too bad. It's not like she needs to be in another movie right away.

"Besides, Sakura, honey, you will get the part. After all, he seemed quite interested in you when I told him. He said he'd call me soon."

Sakura showed no sign of excitement. She just wasn't sure about the role. It seemed a bit too… adult for her. She was used to teenager roles. Girly movies were more her thing. She didn't know whether she was right for the big action movies. Was she pretty enough to attract the male audience? That wasn't the case really. It wasn't being pretty that got the guys; it was being sexy. That was a question she didn't know the answer to. Was she sexy enough? Probably not.

The intercom came on and a woman's voice sounded.

"Mr. Hills? There is a Mr. Hiiragizawa on the line. Shall I put him through?" The secretary asked. Marlon replied a swift yes. He picked up the phone.

"Ah, Mr. Hiiragizawa, sir. How are you? Ah, good to hear sir. Really? Well, she'll be ecstatic to hear that! Thank you sir. No audition needed, huh. Yes, she is a talented actress. Really? Wow, interesting…"

Sakura finally sat down, and puzzled over what was so interesting. It sounded like she had gotten the role. Marlon must just be getting more details. He finally came off the phone after scribbling a couple of notes down.

"Well?" Sakura urged trying to find out more.

"Well, congrats. You got the role, just like I said you would. He did say that you were his number one choice. He says that he heard about your skill from when you were younger - in drama school? - anyway, he is keen to meet up with you."

Sakura smiled a little. She had another job. Could she do it though? Could she live up to everyone's expectations? Now she had to meet up with this famous director and impress him. Maybe she would be a big disappointment to him? He would tell her that he'd changed his mind then.

"Oh, and by the way, the pay is great too. Big bucks in this one, I tell ya."

Sakura rolled her eyes. She knew there would be a catch somewhere. Marlon only did things for money. It wasn't about her image. It was about money.

She had a feeling Marlon would be slightly disappointed after she meets up with Mr. Hiiragizawa.

(Sunday)Syaoran

Syaoran was back in the office, awaiting the result of the movie. He cursed himself for not paying full attention to what June was saying.

"Darn that Eriol. I bet when I get the role, he'll make my life a living hell." He muttered, whilst June talked on her phone to other clients.

"That idiot always like to play pranks on me back when we were kids…"

June had came off the phone and heard the last part.

"What idiot?" She asked after putting the phone down.

"Eriol Hiiragizawa." He hissed. "My parents knew his parents. And he annoys the hell out of me."

Syaoran's head was too filled with thoughts of a new co-star to realise who the director was. Big mistake.

"So, you don't want the role anymore then?"

Syaoran said nothing. He was thinking it over.

"I mean, I can understand. You must be a little sick of all the actresses and the great scenes, the money and the thrill of making a movie… I'll call him back and say you aren't interested." June went on, picking up the phone.

"Wait." Syaoran said suddenly, as she was about to dial the first digit. "I'll… give it a shot…" He muttered, hesitantly.

"Oh, good. 'Cos you got the role. You're meeting with your old pal in a few weeks time. Congratulations, Syaoran darling."

Syaoran shook his head, wondering what he had got himself into.

"Hey, wait! A few weeks you say? What the hell am I supposed to do 'till then?" Syaoran fumed.

"Just what you always do, darling."

'So I guess it's back to having too much spare time for a few weeks. No bother. It'll change when I start filming' Syaoran consoled, trying to make the best out of the situation.

Yes. She the notes at the beginning of the chapter. I WILL make the chapters longer somehow. And more entertaining. The plot is gonna have to come into it pretty soon too..I think maybe in 2 chapters filming should start. What do you think? More build up or more SnS goodness? Just review and tell me and I'll sort it out. See my bio for any delay details, new stories, link to my fanfiction progress diary etc.
