AN/ Hey, hey hey!!! I want to give a special thanks to sango mumbo bum for being my first official reviewer! YAY! Ok, now I will post the second chappie soon, very soon, since I've already written it. As I've said before these few chapters will be short because I need to get the basic background information across first, and then all the juicy stuff will happen later and it will be in pretty long chappies! YAY! Alrighty then, here's the first chapter. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: You don't have to rub it in…I don't own anything….
Chapter 1
"Ok, now could I have Goro Watanabe, Kazuki Ito, Yuka Obayashi, Arisu Saito, and Kagome Higurashi come up to the stage please?" My name. She said my name. Kagome Higurashi. My heart skipped a beat. Swallowing the lump that was forming in my throat, I slowly stood up from my chair, with my script in hand. Trying to squeeze through the small space between the theater chairs, my friend gave me an encouraging smile. I smiled back what I hoped was a confident smile, and squared my shoulders. I slowly began walking up the stairs to the stage.
I took my place by a girl I never saw before. I could feel her eyes on me, looking up and down my body, as if to measure me up. Usually that would have made me nervous but I was a changed person.
I bravely turned her way, catching her by surprise. She gave me a strained smile and offered me her hand. "I'm Yura!" she said, a little too cheery for my taste. I looked down at her outstretched hand with disproval written all over my face, and knew that Yuka saw it too, but her smile never wavered. I reluctantly shook her hand. "I'm Kagome!" I said with fake cheeriness, mimicking her. She and I both knew my dislike for her, but neither said anything. Dropping her hand with out a second thought, I turned my attention to the teacher who was assigning roles.
I knew that Yura's smile was far from sincere; it was just another act to get people to trust you and then stab them in the back. But I have learned my lesson well, and didn't fall for same tricks twice.
"…will play Goro, and why don't you Kagome try the part of Hiraku. OK, now please take your places." Finished the teacher, She put her glasses down on the worn out desk, and leaned forward, her attention now completely on us.
I took a nervous step forward and then mentally scorned at myself for acting like that. The new me didn't get nervous, I wasn't that shy girl anymore. I took another more confident step towards the middle of the stage, now feeling the hot theater lights burning down my body, blinding me. I took a deep, shaky breath, in hopes of settling the nervous butterflies in my stomach. It did little to help, but I stubbornly tried to ignore it. In my head I tried to play out how I would read Hiraku's part, hoping to really impress the teacher. When my turn came to speak I was glad my voice didn't shake, but instead was nice and loud. Before I knew it I began to relax and just like that it was over. Taking a bow, I hoped with all my heart and mind that I would get in.
