Chapter 3:
Hello all. This fic is indeed an OOC. I suppose that's not very hard to tell. Just trying to explain why everyone is a different nationality and from different places rather than the typical Japan.
"SANGO!" I screamed, pounding are the door to her new bedroom. "SANGO MOVE YOUR ASS WE HAVE THE FUCKING SHOW TODAY!" I probably sounded like a crazy person, freaking out and practically beating down the door like that, but this was my firstshow and seeing as I hadn't gotten any sleep the night before, I was a little on edge.
"KAGOME! WOULD YOU CALM THE FUCK DOWN AND LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE! I'M UP ALREADY GODDAMN!" Sango shrieked. I cringed at apparent anger that laced her voice. She could be quite intimidating at times. I took that as my cue to run downstairs and poor the coffee.
"Aw, we don't even have time to stop for latte's?" she whined as she finally came downstairs. I was speed walking all over the place trying to do everything at once. I started the dishwasher, threw on my coat, and thrust a thermos into Sango's hands as I practically flew by.
"Nope, nope, nope. No time, no time." I kept chanting. Like I said, I probably sounded like a crazy person. "Gotta go, gotta go. Rápidamente!" I did a 180 twist to face Sango and threw my hands up. I grinned, walking backwards in a seductive manner, motioning for her to follow me out the front door. Today was going to be a good one. I was sure of it. Sango rolled her eyes and giggled as she jogged to catch up.
We walked into the Green Room at the London at about 2PM. I sent Sango to the changing room with the rest of the models to get ready for wardrobe, while I inspected the final outcome of my atmosphere. I turned around and stared at the runway. All white with Japanese lanterns being the only source of light for the path. It truly was breathtaking. I don't think I had ever been more proud than at that moment. I quickly snapped out of my daze and made my way to the back room to see the models. The make up was progressing beautifully and for a moment I was truly satisfied. 'Don't get too excited, Kagome.' I told myself. 'You haven't even reached the biggest obstacle yet' I frowned with determination and walked over to the mens side of the curtain. It had suddenly occurred to me that hewasn'there.My right eye twitched as my anger started to consume me. 'That son of a bitch!' I fumed. 'That fucking son of a bitch. He's going to throw the whole damn thing off!'
Then to my surprise, the curtain behind me was yanked back.
"Hey! Authorized personnel only bu-" I closed my mouth as I came within eye contact of the intruder. "You." He looked down at me with a smirk.
"Yeah, me. Saved the day, didn't I? What? You thought I'd actually let this show go on without me? Nah, to set it up to fail like that would be cruel." he grinned, placing his hands on his hips while beaming with pride. I practically fell over from his repulsive cockiness. I wanted to say something to bring his ego down a notch or two, but I knew I didn't have the time.
"Whatever." I rolled my eyes. "Just get your ass back there and get prepped. While you may care less about this show, it means everything to me. And I'm cool with having some egotistical, arrogant, maniacal idiot fuck it up. Let's notgo there, hmm?" I patted him on the head and pushed him in the direction of the other male models. He turned around and looked at me like he had just gotten his feelings hurt, then stuck out his tongue and waved his middle finger. I spun on my heel and began walk while shouting orders at my staff.
"Ugh, what a fucking douche." I murmured to myself.
'Ah yes, but a sexy one at that. That smile? Those Golden eyes? Oh what I wouldn't do to give those large hands of his something to grab on to. You know what they say about big hands...'
"Ah!" I squeaked, shaking my head violently. "Get the fuck out of here with that shit, no one wants that moron. I don't know where those thoughts are coming from." I stuck my nose in the air and closed my eyes in frustration. Just two more hours. Two more hours would determine the fate of my internship. Two more hours would determine my talent as a real fashion designer. Two more hours, and I could breathe again.
"Kaggy!" I spun around to see Rin skipping over to me. "Kagome everything looks amazing!" she gushed. Rin was actually the first friend Sango had made since moving to New York. Rin was in the same grade as Sango and was simply gorgeous. She had long wavy black hair and bright grey eyes, so light they almost seemed to be a light shade of bluish-chrome. She was originally from Montana, off of a small Indian reservation. When she was 14, her family was killed by bandits who raided the reservation and took everything. Since then, Rin was taken by child services and sent to New York to live with her aunt and uncle, who lived over in Hell's Kitchen. They didn't have much, so Rin studied hard to get into Saint Gregory's. It was important to her to make something of herself and to make her parents proud, even if they were no longer by her side.
"Thanks Rin!" I smiled. "How do you like your first dress?" I cocked my head to the side to get a good look at her. It was clear that she was upset about something. That's Rin for you. Always putting on a brave face and putting others first. I placed my hand on her shoulder gently. "What's the matter?"
She stared at me for a moment and then turned, trying to avoid my gaze. "Uh....its nothing Kagome." I looked her in the eye and silently told her to go on. "Well.....I don't think I'm going to be able to go to Saint Gegory's much longer." she said quietly. "We uh, we live so far away that its hard for me to get to school on time. I was on academic probation and failed that too." I stared at her. I felt so bad for her, but I knew she wouldn't appreciate pity.
"Well it's too bad you can't move somewhere more convenient." I said thoughtfully. She looked at me, confused. "What do you look so damn clueless for? I've got an extra bedroom in my huge ass condo. I've....also got a wii, 2 fridges, a jacuzzi, a sauna, walk in closets...." I grinned and waggled my eye brows at her. She smiled back and pulled me into a warm embrace.
"Thanks, Kagome." she said quietly.
"Alright!" I exclaimed. "Time to get in your place, Rin. The show is about to start."
"Sure. Do me a favor though, Kagome." she asked.
"Hmm?"
"Breathe." she giggled. I turned and looked at her. I hadn't realized I'd been jumping up and down and holding my breath. I sighed and took a deep breath. I walked to back stage and looked around and everyone. After thanking everyone for their time and participation, I clapped my hands and ushered the first batch of models onto the runway. This was it. Nothing could stop me now.
I glanced at my blackberry. 12:00AM. I smiled widely at my surroundings. Sango, Rin and I had gone out with the rest of the models to the 40/40 Club. Things were just starting to pick up for the night and I couldn't wait to get wasted. The show had been a complete success. Every model wore their outfit with pride and not a single one tripped in their six inch heels. I had gotten tons of business offers from real labels and had taken photos with almost every celebrity that had decided to attend. It truly was a dream come true. The music was loud and the dance floor was packed. I was at the bar with Sango, downing margaritas.
(A/N: I know what you're all thinking. How is it a bunch of high school kids are partying at a 21 and older night club. Well I'm taking a page out of gossip girl here. Rich family+high status= good times/drama =])
I was pretty drunk by now, but I wasn't anywhere near ready to call it an evening. Sango screamed something in my ear about meeting these two boys she met during the show. I protested at first, not wanting to share my good time with anyone besides my girls, but then gave up and allowed Sango to drag me to the other end of the bar.
"Kags, this is Miroku and his friend-"
"-Inuyasha," I finished.
"Oh wow." Miroku sighed. "All these beautiful women. What is a poor boy to do? Such temptation within arm's length. Why?!" he wailed as his hand found its way to Sango's bottom. For which in return he received quite the slap.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha raised his eyebrows. "You look….different." His eyes traveled up and down my body. I had been wearing a black mini dress with silver heels that laced up my calves. I suppose he'd never seen me wear anything but my uniform and my Juicy sweat suit I had worn the day of rehearsal. He stepped closer to me.
"You're drunk." I giggled, pointing at him.
"And you're sexy." He cracked up. I was on the floor after that one.
"Hahahahaha! Iloveguyfam- I mean family man…I really like the baby and the dog." I sputtered, trying to control and fits of laughter. All of a sudden, I frowned, folding my arms across my chest. "Inuyasha,"
"Huh" He came close to me then, looking right into my eyes.
"Why are YOU SUCH A JERK?" I yelled in his face.
"What are you talking about wench?" he bellowed. "I did fucking amazing at that show you should be on your knees thanking me!" he smirked. "Mmm…I like the sound of that. Don't you babe?"
I stared at him, intent on shouting in his face once more, but then thought better. I grabbed his hair and yanked him towards me. "Inuyasha," I whispered faintly so that only he could hear. "If I got on my knees and I put my mouth on your-" I ran my hand up his thigh and softly over his groin. "You would never want me to stop. That's how good I'd make you feel." I let him go and looked him in the eyes. Then I turned around and walked away. My cheeks were flushed with embarrassment. How could I have been so bold? I don't know where my sudden burst of confidence came from but I had given him quite the private show. I smiled triumphantly for out smarting the jackass and grabbed Sango and Rin to take them out on the dance floor. What did I tell you? It was a great day. Nothing brought me down.
