So, while modelling isn't really a new thing that Hikari has done, (the other modelling job she did comes to mind), she didn't really expect to be known for that job. But, apparently, when she saw the flier for this contest, she got recognized as the model who did her debut photo shoot with Izumi, the apparent former winner of this contest for three years straight. Hikari's eyebrows widened at the sound of Izumi's name, familiar memories that happened not too long ago coming to mind, and Hikari couldn't stop the blush from creeping onto her face. The receptionist of the company in charge of the event didn't seem to notice so the enchanter was grateful for it.

It's still odd to think that she had been recognized as someone famous and even if that person was Izumi, but she was happy as being well-known gave her instant priority over some of the other teenagers hoping to enter the contest. The disappointed teens who didn't make it were ushered out, to their dismay, leaving Hikari and five other contestants in the room. There was a girl with light brown hair, a boy with spiky blonde hair, another girl with short dark blue hair, a boy with red hair, tied into a ponytail, and another girl with long pink hair. The teens didn't seem interested in talking with competition, and to be completely honest, Hikari didn't think she would like to talk to most people in this group. She sighed as she sat down in her chair for a couple minutes, until the receptionist from before called them into a room.

Hikari was the last one to walk into the room and everyone was staring at her. She tried to not let it get to her, until she realized the reason that the other contestants were staring at her. Izumi was there. In the room, sitting behind a large table with a couple of other judges. She looked at him and tried to examine the look he was giving her, it was almost playful, like he was challenging her to do something. Hikari glared at him before the judges spoke. Now then! You six are the lucky ones. You have a chance at almost a ten thousand jewel prize plus the title of Fiore's next top model. Most of the contestants looked somewhat aggravated but still clapped for the description of what's to come. Hikari looked genuinely excited about this however, and Izumi smirked at her innocence towards the event. The judges went on to explain the themes for each week, and Hikari was taking mental notes. Okay, week one: casual. Week two: black and white. Week three: seasonal. Week four: formal. Week five: ...Love? Hikari paused as she thought about the last one. What was she supposed to wear for love? A giant heart of some sort? She snickered at the thought but shook her head. Izumi kept his eyes trained at her, and she looked away, feeling the pressure from his glare.

And then there were six.

Week 1: It's Just A Casual Thing

This was the beginning of the competition and Hikari wasn't quite sure if she would be ready for this. It started the competition off simple, by choosing to do casual but she wasn't sure if being too casual would be good. After all, if she gets casual enough, it won't really seem like a catway, but more like her living room on a Sunday. Hikari sighed as she sat in her paid for hotel in Rose Garden. She liked the hotel, but since this competition was like a reality show, there were some lacrima camera that turned on when she gave them permission to, although she wasn't sure that they would use her footage, given the fact that most of her footage for Monday and Tuesday was really just go around thinking about what to do for this coming catwalk on Friday. She sighed as she pulled out a piece of paper and pencil, on Tuesday evening to brainstorm her outfit. She didn't really get that far into the whole creative process however because she quickly fell asleep, after about half an hour. She was lying down on the floor, but someone decided to walk into her room. Carefully, they placed her in her bed and they gave her a farewell kiss. Then, the lacrima cameras turned off for the night.

Hikari woke up Wednesday morning, with a warm feeling in her chest that she couldn't really get over. She held a hand to her chest and pouted slightly. She looked at the camera, expecting an explanation for these feelings bubbling up inside of her and looked somewhat frustrated as they didn't comply with her request. She sighed as she finally got hit with an idea. Smiling, she took her pencil and paper, and began writing notes on her outfit for the week. She looked at the end result and held the result to the camera, to which it flew closer to get a better shot of the design in mind. It was a simple plan: simple and anything more is too extravagant. Hikari went out that day, knowing it wouldn't be hard to find what she was looking for. She saw some of the other contestants, out and about, some of them looking at ways to go to parties in the area, and some with the look of stress in their face trying to decide what to wear on the catwalk, but none of that was Hikari's concern. After all, they were the enemies for this job, in a sense. And not much has a chance against the strategist. She smirked as she walked into the store, not really paying attention to those around her. It was there she walked into a male, she would have fallen from the recoil. But, he caught her, wrapping his arms around her protectively.

She was about to lay into the guy, getting a little to familiar with her. He wouldn't live to see the end of the day but she recognized the guy when their eyes met. Izumi glanced at her, his blue orbs staring deeply into her pink eyes. She was getting a little squirmy but could you really blame her? Eyes were the windows to the soul after all, and Izumi seemed to be staring directly into that at the moment. Hikari looked away as Izumi pulled her into a standing position. She brushed the wrinkles off her clothes, before asking, So, care to tell me why you are here, when you aren't in the contest? Why don't you go for four straight years? Hikari glanced at Izumi, who rubbed the back of his head, I mean, the contest rules state that I can't win four years straight, and I have to stop entering for two years but until then, I'm the host of the competition. Hikari looked at him, a look of empathy. If she couldn't deal with the other contestants for a couple of days, then she definitely would die being forced to interview them. She placed a hand on his shoulder for comfort. She smiled at him, teasingly, Don't worry buddy, I'll always be here for you, especially considering what you made me do on our second meeting a few months ago. Hikari snickered as Izumi's face instantly started blushing, his face becoming a bright red and he hid it with the scarf he was wearing. She smiled as she waved him goodbye, not wanting to tease the poor man anymore today. She walked into the store, getting somewhat lost in the large store's selection.

She ultimately found the clothes she was looking for and smiled, knowing that this outfit that was planned was perfect especially with the catwalk being outside as well as the photo shoot, today being Thursday. Hikari smiled as she tied up her hair in a ponytail and placed sun glasses in her hair. Hikari smiled as she didn't put on much make up today, as it would go against the natural look she was going for. She smiled as she slipped into her clothes, a pair of denim shorts and a plain white shirt that had short sleeves. She looked at the mirror, admiring her handiwork and began to head over to the place for where her photo shoot is scheduled. Hikari smiled as got to the location of the shoot. It was similar to where her and Izumi first met, a large meadow, full of flowers and the sun shined down brightly as well. There was clouds in the sky, so it wasn't unbearably hot as well. She got into position for the camera to take photos and posed for her shots. She smiled innocently at the camera, and the camera crew was commenting about how natural the photo shoot came to her. She was politely declining a lot of the extra things that the crew wanted to give her, like heels or more make up as she stated, I think that natural and casual goes pretty well together, no? She flicked on her sunglasses as she left the meadow. Izumi, who was leaning against the tree near the area Hikari left, smiled at how confident the girl presented herself.

Today was the catwalk and Hikari was feeling pretty relaxed to go on the catwalk. Some of the other contestants were panicking however. The boy with the ponytail was freaking out, he might have lost a piece of his outfit and the girl with dark blue hair was near panic attack. As mean as it was, Hikari didn't really care about what they were doing as they called her on stage first. She inhaled some air and smiled as she strutted her way onto stage. The people were in awe as her ponytail bobbed with each confident step she took. She got to the end of the runway and winked towards the audience, and flicked on her sunglasses, strutting back off stage. She sighed in relief as it ended before the other contestants walked on. She didn't really have anything to do until they announced who was booted this week.

To the blue haired girl's dismay, she was kicked out of the competition and all the contestants sighed in relief. Hikari went to sleep that night, wondering if next week's theme will be any easier.

And then there were five.

Today was the start of the new week and Hikari was smiling as she knew that this week would be a piece of cake for her. She had an idea of what to do with this week's theme and with seeing how Izumi reacted to being flirted with, it only solidified her reasons in doing this. Hikari tied her hair into a bun as she went around the Rose Garden, not really stressing about this week compared to before. It was simple she didn't have anything to worry about due to just knowing what she was planning to do. Hikari was walking around, taking in the scenery and life of the Rose Garden before she saw a crowd of girls, grouped around some poor fellow in the middle. Hikari squinted in the direction of the crowd and as she looked, she was slowly able to make out the figure in the middle of the crowd. She smiled as she walked over to the crowd, planning to play the knight in shining armor for the poor model in the center of the crowd.

As she got closer, the questions that the girls were firing at the poor raven-haired male were becoming clear. Quite inappropriate for a public setting, and the questions made Hikari turn slightly red but she shook her head. If she had that reaction, how was Izumi taking all these questions? She pondered upon the thought and sped up her pace. She loved seeing him when he gets panicked. So, when she finally broke through the crowd, she immediately looked at his face, hoping to see him beet red and being a blushing, stammering mess. That's not what she saw however as Izumi was being quite professional with dodging questions and he simply chuckled if a question got too intense. But then, one random girl asked if he has a girlfriend. Seeing a chance to tease him, Hikari walked up to him and grabbed him by his arm, making him come down to her level, as she kissed him on the cheek. Sorry girls. But this one is off the market~ C'mon you promised to show me the ice cream shop today, sweetie. As the group of girls made way for the pair, in a somewhat shocked state, Hikari couldn't wait to see Izumi's reaction.

As Hikari ate her ice cream, saying Izumi was embarrassed was an understatement as when they sat down in the ice cream parlor, he was still stammering and clutching his heart for dear life, probably thinking Hikari could hear it, making his blush so intense it almost seemed like he was glowing. She smiled as he simply looked into his cup of ice cream, cookie dough for him and chocolate chip for Hikari. Deciding to defuse the blushing bomb in front of her, she stated, So, are the girls here always that pushy or is it just because you are you? The question made Izumi look at Hikari with a face that said: Those girls are pushy when you forced me on a date essentially. Hikari avoided eye contact, feigning innocence. Izumi sighed and simply looked at her, his blue eyes staring at her as his blush still coated his face, ...Thanks for the save. I really appreciate it. I have to deal with that a lot. Hikari looked at him as she smiled, No problem, anything for you. Hikari glanced at him, as he took his first bite of ice cream and he asked after, Do you need help this week? You seemed pretty panicked last week but for some reason, you seem calm this week. Hikari smiled as she finished he ice cream. No, I have this week's theme ready and you'll be happy to see the result. Hikari winked as she left to go do her shopping.

So, apparently, one of the other girls sabotaged the other, that being the brunette sabotaging the girl with pink hair. She sighed as one of the girls sat in her room, screaming up a storm as she returned from buying her outfit from the stores. It was odd, it was as if all the stores had exactly what she was looking for and for some reason, they always had her size. It's like a conspiracy plot. However, considering her face is plastered all over the city for the contest, it makes sense why they have stuff ready for the contestants. She walked into her hotel room and found it had been trashed, probably by the girl with the brown hair. She sighs as she simply cleans it up, the lacrima cameras turning on to simply capture the cleaning that Hikari now has to go through. She wonders why that girl was yelling, considering all the brunette did was throw stuff on the floor. She simply cleaned up the mess and went to sleep since her photo shoot was tomorrow.

Today, the photo shoot was indoors and Hikari was a little grateful. The weather was getting cold and it was kind of irritating, especially considering how warm it was. Today, Hikari was wearing a white blouse with a pair of black gloves. The black skirt she was wearing stopped before her knees and there was a large ribbon on the back of it. She was wearing black tights and a pair of black heels. She was also wearing a white headband with a white bow on it. It was the outfit she wore on her first modelling job and her hair was curled at the ends this time. She walked into the studio and was met with Izumi. Based solely on the look on his face, he recognizes where the outfit and is blushing all the way to the tips of his ears and she chuckled at his flustered form. The photo shoot was on a simple black and white swirled backdrop and Hikari, unlike last week, decided not to be timid for the photos and being teasing and playful with them. The other five contestants got intimidated by Hikari's glance in their direction as she walked out. The gaze was mocking them as if saying: If that's all you got, you aren't gonna have a chance against me.

Now, the evening of the catwalk starts, Hikari is feeling great. There's really nothing anyone can do to stop her from not getting booted this week. She smiles as she struts down the catwalk since she is always the first contestant up. She winks at the end of the catwalk before turn on her foot and walking back off stage. She's becoming a natural and it's pretty exciting for her. She smiles as she takes a large drink from the water bottle that was provided for her. She smirks as they call the contestants back on stage, only to boot the brunette who screwed her room over, she gave a tiny wave to the girl, mainly for sarcasm's sake and glad she was the bigger person.

And then there were four.

Week 3: Colours of Summer! ...What do you mean it's winter?

The weather, despite being so warm and pleasant last week decided to turn it's back one everyone and everything that loves it. The weather was uncomfortably cold and with everyone who was still in the contest, it was pretty much a big 'screw you' considering they were all planning something that was summer theme. Hikari was one of the four who was actually planning a summer outfit so her plans were thrown out of wack. She was currently stressing, similar to week one. She had her hair tied in a messy bun above her head with a pair of fake glasses on her face. Hikari had decided to include glasses for this one because it would add a little more appeal to her face. The glasses had a small rectangular frame on and they didn't hang on to her face too tightly. Some strands of hair messy fell, framing her face as she looked up at the door, hearing a knock. Someone seeing her in glasses could get the wrong message across as she's only wearing the glasses to get used to them being on her face. She shrugged as she didn't really care what other people thought of her. She pulled her cardigan over her shoulder as she walked over to her door. She half expected it to be Izumi so her expectations were met with Izumi standing at her door.

Today, he was wearing a toque and a somewhat light jacket and Hikari could tell it was light because the poor teen in front of her was shivering. Without really any second thought, she pulled him into to warm apartment, to which he immediately sighed in comfort. Hikari used the coffee maker that they provided her with to make hot chocolate for the both of them, to which he was pretty grateful for. They sat in silence for a little bit before Izumi mentioned, Wait, you wear glasses? Since when? Hikari snickered as she leaned into Izumi's personal space, teasingly. She moved her glasses down slightly as she looked up at his new blushing form. Since you commented on it, I'm assuming you like it? He leaned back as she stayed in her spot. She pulled herself back as she laughed at him, poking at his blushing face. He cleared his throat and asked, trying not to stammer on his words, So, do you need help with this week's theme? You probably had something in mind but the weather changed the idea didn't it? Hikari backed up from her teasing position and eyed Izumi's weather appropriate form. She smiled and picked up her book, full of clothing ideas. She was eyeing Izumi then writing things down and this seemed to follow a pattern until Izumi piped in, So, I'm assuming creativity hit you? Hikari smiled as she kissed his cheek and pulled him towards the door, And I have my muse to thank for that, now don't I?

Hikari was actually having trouble finding the clothes she needed this time and it was kind of stressing her out now. She rubbed her head, trying to look for a store that sold clothes for weather like this. Hikari's attention snapped towards Izumi as he pointed out a store that was selling clothes appropriate for the weather. Her and Izumi immediately ran into the store, trying to escape the cold weather and now, the snow. she sighed as the warmth of the store surrounded her. Hikari picked out the outfit she had planned in her mind and smiled as Izumi tried to look and see what her plan was. She covered his eyes, and said, You can see it at the photo shoot tomorrow. You don't need to get priority especially considering you visited me on my day off. Izumi's face began to flush as Hikari skipped over to the register. The day didn't seem to drag on as by the time they were out of the store, most of the other stores were closing and it seemed to be getting late. Izumi, being the gentleman he is, decided to walk Hikari back to her hotel room, although, with the amount of teasing she did. He probably wanted to die as she teased him with every single fiber in her being. He was pretty grateful when they got back to the hotel room. The two said their goodbyes and with that, the week was halfway over.

Once again, like the last two weeks, today was the photo shoot and Hikari feels like at this point, the photo shoot day is just like any other day. The competition is supposed to feel more intense to her but no one is sabotaging her. She can't say the same for others however. The other contestants are at each other's throats and she wouldn't be surprised if they fought in a gladiatorial match. They probably weren't sabotaging her photo shoots because they are scared of her. She is a mage after all, but they don't know what her magic does and should they ever see her magic, they'll regret being in a situation that let them. She begins the morning by doing her hair, simply curling the ends of it and not putting on too much make up. Hikari smiled as she slipped into her black skinny jeans and pink sweater, with a cartoon character on it. She slipped on a black jacket with a pair of black boots. To top it off, she wore a black beanie with some different buttons on it and she head out to the location for the shoot.

Hikari smiles as she finally gets to the spot. It's not too cold out today and the snow is falling gently so the scene is very warm despite the weather. Hikari steps on the freshly fallen snow, the snow quietly forming the shapes on the sole of her boots. She is soon ushered towards the position for the shoot, the backdrop of the setting sun making the whole area seem like it's in a magical world. Oh wait... The shoot continued without a hitch, Hikari deciding to match the mood by acting longingly at the sun while the mood continued somber. The camera was there and she took all the attention for herself, even if the group shots.

Hikari woke up the next day, not really remembering it was the catwalk today. She smiles as she changes into what she wore yesterday and fixes her hair along with the little makeup she wore with the outfit. The catwalk was the same as always. Hikari ended up stealing the show this week as one of her main competitors was already knocked out last week, so she was the star of the show at this point. Little did she know, that it was partly due to her interactions with Izumi, that made her a crowd favourite. Needless to say, the male with ponytail was booted off this week, mainly for wearing summer clothes. It was an easy week especially because he didn't bother to change his idea for his outfit even when the weather changed.

And then there were three.

Week 4: Formal

Just as a way to say 'screw you' once again, the weather over the Rose Garden changed once again, right back to the sunny weather it originally had. It was kind of funny, it was as though the company had control over the city's weather and atmosphere over the course of these five weeks. Although, that wouldn't be that implausible considering Rose Garden embraced the magic that made the city run. Magic in this area was almost as essential as water. Hikari took note of the the floating lacrima crystals that illuminated the city's at night. It was quite a beautiful sight to behold and Hikari sighed, wondering what it would be like with him still around. She sighed longingly, wondering if the heaven's would ever grant her prayers. She sighed, as she walked back into her hotel, since she's just been having one of her off times, missing what she had once before.

Izumi was wondering where Hikari was this week so far, as it's already Wednesday and she has little time remaining to buy her clothes for the competition and he doesn't want to see her lose when's she is already in the top three. Worriedly, he knocks on the door to her room. Hikari opens the door, revealing the dark apartment surrounding her. She sighs as she unceremoniously let him into her room, she sits down on her bed, kind of huddled into a little ball, looking at the toes on her feet, kind of lost in thought. Izumi saw how her cheeks were tear-stained and didn't like seeing her like this. What happened are you okay? Did one of the other contestants do something to you? Hikari sighs for what feels like an eternity before responding. I don't deserve all this. Izumi looks at her, seemingly having a lot of questions but before he could interject Hikari continued, I'm doing things like this while others who died for my sake thought that I had died and that their death was in vain this entire time. I don't deserve this life I was given. This life may be mine, but I haven't deserved it. Hikari sniffled for a second before muttering, Even the one who I treasured the most died in vain because of my stupid actions. I'm not worth much and I'm definitely not worth the title of Fiore's Top Model. While Izumi heard the remark about him he would be jealous, but he knew he had to put his feelings aside in order to comfort the girl. He sat on the bed next to the girl and  hugged her. She melted into the hug, happy for the embrace as it helped calm her emotions.

Knowing she still had to buy her outfit for tomorrow, she went out with Izumi, who while unable to help her due to being the host, she was able to choose a dress that she knew would suit his tastes. She smiled as she paid for it, most of the money being funded by the company. Izumi offered to take Hikari to another ice cream store and Hikari took him up on his offer. She smiled as she bit into her ice cream, the cookie dough in her bite. She smiled as Izumi was there as a friend to provide someone who she could talk to. She didn't really have many people to talk to nowadays and it was refreshing to get a lot of the thoughts off of her chest. She smiled as Izumi smiled at her, seemingly accepting their newfound friendship. Hikari got led back to her hotel and was grateful that Izumi visited her today because if not she would have lost the competition even if the photo shoot was moved to Friday morning. She thanked Izumi for the night and closed the door. Soon after, she lied down on her bed and thought to herself. It was nice having someone this close that she could talk to, Izumi was a saving grace in her life now and she couldn't be more happy.

Thursday was a little less depressing than Wednesday and Hikari eventually got past the sad mood that had overcome her by Friday morning. She had to get up early that day in order to prepare herself for the photo shoot. She curled the ends of her hair once again. She held it out of her face by using a crown to hold it back and there was flowers braided with her hair as well. She smiled as she put on makeup that made it seem as though her face was glowing. It was here she slipped into her blue dress, that has a corset like top that hugs her torso and flows into a pink colour near the end of the skirt which is right before her knees. The skirt isn't form fitting like the top of the dress. She slips into a pair of pink heels as she out of her dressing room in the studio.

The photo shoot isn't that intense and the catwalk that immediately follows makes it even more tiring today. The one who got eliminated was the blue haired girl, as this week, she has never been to a formal event so she didn't know what to wear. You'd think being a model would still force you into situations where you wear formal things. Either way, it was getting down to the wire with next week being the last week.

And then there were two.

Week 5: Love me like you do

Normally, contests get more intense the less contestants there were but this wasn't really a normal event now was it. Hikari was a little bit stressed out as she combed the curls out of her hair. She hadn't given much thought into this theme and it might be her downfall. She had thought so much for each of these themes that there were pages of notes for each theme, either brainstorming or planning the outfits that she was to wear for that theme but for this week, the page labeled Love the rest of the page remained blank mainly because Hikari doesn't know to do. She lets out a sigh of frustration as she falls back onto her bed. This wasn't gonna be her downfall as she would do everything in her power to make sure that she won this event, she wants her name to be spread around Fiore so that people don't suffer the same fates as those who were once around her.

By the time Tuesday rolls around, Hikari is just a mess and doesn't really know what to do with this event. She rolls around on the bed of her hotel. She is getting more irritated because she doesn't get the point of this dumb theme. If the theme was like battle gear, it would be so easy because no one can stop her from wearing hers. She immediately launched herself up from her bed as she smiles, knowing who is at her door. Her happiness is justified when she opens the door and sees Izumi's smiling form, unusually happy. She looks at him with confusion, What are you so happy about? He looks at her, still smiling but tilting his head slightly in confusion, What do you mean? I'm always like this. She gives him a look that screams 'Seriously you wanna play this game with me?'. He put his hands up in defense, trying to avoid the wrath of the enchanter in front of him. I came here to let you know a secret about this week's theme. Hikari walked up to him, in anticipation, hanging on the pause that seems to last forever. They expect you to have a partner for this week. She pauses for a minute, letting the information sink in. She smiles as she pulls Izumi into her room, in front of the Lacrima camera. Thanks for agreeing to be my partner for this week Izumi. From this Hikari kisses him on the cheek and blushes beet red in reaction to this.

Thursday, the day was mostly spent in preparation for acting like couple for Friday because just like last week the photo shoot and the catwalk were on the same day. The pair went on a date to an amusement park and they ended the date on the Ferris wheel. Hikari was excitedly looking out the side of their cart, Even though I've already been here more than a month, I never realized how beautiful the city is at night. Izumi looks at her as she sits down next to him and leans on his shoulder, Hikari smiles at him Thanks for being there for me during these five weeks. I really appreciate it. Izumi smiles at the girl and leans on her head, Don't worry. It's always great seeing you, and I can't wait for tomorrow. The pair get off the Ferris wheel and decide to get one last sweet before this contest is officially over. She smiles as she takes a bite of hers, the sweetness from the strawberries, icing sugar and whipped cream was sweet enough that it wasn't over the top and she was glad, as she took a bite of his. She notices that there was whipped cream on his cheek and wipes it off. He flinches a little from this action but still lets her wipe it for him. She chuckles as they walk back, the moon's rays reflecting off the water, You are so childish...

Today, the pair woke up and Hikari went to her dressing room in the studio and went to straighten her hair. She ties it into a neat ponytail and puts her head band in her hair. She slips into a white sundress that stops just above her knees. She wears a pair of white flats and leaves her dressing room. It's there when she finally sees Izumi, dressed in a white t-shirt, a gray vest and a pair of black shorts. He completed his outfit with a pair of black and white high tops. He looks really nice despite the simple look. She walks over to him and grabs his hand. Together, the two are a power couple in the photos and set out an air of confidence and this intimidates the boy with spiky hair and his 'partner' who looks like someone he paid to do this last minute as she looked completely uninterested in him. The catwalk was hectic this week as everyone was ready to see the grand finale to this event. Hikari and Izumi were owning the stage as they walked together. At the end, the two turned to each other and leaned in for a kiss. The kiss was calm, it made it as though nothing existed around them. Just them and it was pure bliss. The two walked off stage and smiled at each other, a little out of breath due to the stage lights being so hot. She smiles at Izumi, when she is crowned Fiore's Next Top Model, eternally grateful that she entered this contest as now most of the nation will know her name.

And then there was one.
