It had been hard to remain out of the public eye at the beginning, but now things were easier, people were forgetting about him. It seemed like the longer he hid, the less people cared about finding him, his works where still well known, but they had given up on the search, which made things easier for him. He didn’t want to be found, not in till he found inspiration again, for photography, what he loved. It seemed like when you worked with models and took pictures of them everything was the same, there appearance, how they dressed, there facial expressions, he wanted something different outside the box. He knew that if he did find his inspiration he would be let back into the world without a problem, he was well known and a lot of people had wanted to work with him, and would still want to work for him. Before he left he had made sure to finish all jobs he had promised to do, so at least he hadn’t tarnished his reputation by ditching on photo shoots.

As he walked down the street he glanced around at all the people that where around, no one seemed to stand out to him though. He sighed some as he looked up at the sky, maybe he would take up photographing nature, but with people there was so much that could be seen in a photo. He was a strong believe that a picture was worth a thousand words, except he believed they were worth so much more than that. A truly talented photographer would work well with who he was photographing and make the picture worth so much more than that. They would know when was the right moment to catch them at there best, there were so many things that could be seen, and yet most people looked past all the truly wonder aspects of a photo. He was almost ready to give up hope, in someone appearing before him that would restore the color to the world, that had somehow gone black and white to him.

Name:Reika Mashiro
Age:21
Appearance: Reika

It was another Hard day for Reika.Yet another model agency denied her.It was becomming harder and harder to get anyone to model for them.In the past she was great.But once she began going to the modeling agency it became so much harder.All Reika wanted to do was cry or scream out her anger and frustration.But Reika didn't let her anger nor frustration get the best of her.She kept her optimistic spirit up.
She wasn't going to give up when she came all the way to where she stood.She knew the only way to get someone's attention was to do better than what she was doing so far.She knew all of the people that denied her must of had a reason to denie her.She knew she was rough around the edges and thats why she wanted to work harder.She then stood up straighter than she was.Reika was quite tall but not as tall as a basketball player.She was around "5,8".

While she was in the city,she thought she would get a bite to eat.Her orange hair in the sun beamed like fire itself.She was looking up and around the city while walking trying to find a good place to go get something to eat when all of a sudden she bumped into the young photographer.She fell backwards landing onto her knees and held onto her head a bit."Ow."She said rubbing her head a bit.She had now rips in her jeans by her knees and scrapped her knees a bit but not badly.She then looked up at the photographer.She had never seen him before but she has heard of him.She wondered where he was headed."Im sorry.I wasn't paying attention to where i was walking."

James, was about to give up and go back to his house when he felt someone bump into him. He glanced at her and smiled "It's alright" he said. He knew some people would spazz out because someone bumped into them, accidents where accidents why make a big deal out of them? He looked at her and studied her some. She was beautiful he would admit that, she was different and she was in a way what he was looking for. Even if she wasn't all that great in front of a camera, a photographers job was to make anyone look good in front of the camera. Sometimes you got paid to take pictures of rich kids, that had no photogenic qualities at all, and if you didn't make them look good you would be in trouble.

It was almost like fate, finally someone he could see himself taking pictures of "You know your really rather beautiful" He said as he stared at her. He got the feeling he was going to end up creeping her out a little bit "James Daniel Hayes, I believe it's fate that you just bumped into me, that is if your willing to work with me" he said. He was hoping she had heard of him, if not he was probably going to come off as some creepy pervert or something, hopefully that wouldn't happen.

When she heard him spoke of her beauty she was going to say your creepy until she heard his name."Your the James Daniel Hayes?My friend has showed me some of your artistic photography.I rather love your style."Reika said standing up on her feet dusting the dirt off of her now torn light blue jeans.When she heard that it was fate that she bumped into him she knew exactly that he was wanting her to work with him.She had a smile on her face and began to speak again in a calm yet happy heart warming voice.

"Im Reika Mashiro.I am willing to work with you.I've actually been going to model agency's trying to convince them that im a good model but today didn't work out too well.Some of them say im rather too tall."Reika said with a chuckle."Im not too tall to work with you am i?"She asked in concern.James was her last hope to have her dream of becomming a great model of her dreams.Though who would make the clothes that James wanted her to wear was yet the only question so far into her mind."You can just call me Reika or Rei."Reika added with a small smile that was just as heart warming as the last smile she showed James.

James smiled, glad she had heard of him at least. But he really wasn't that amazing, he knew he was good but he also knew there were others who were better than him out there, he had long way to go before he was amazing, at least that's what he thought "I'm glad you have heard of me, that means I'm not coming off as some creepy pervert right now, getting hit hurts pretty badly" he said with a small laugh. "Well I'm glad you've heard of me, I can see that even though it's been two years, my work is still fairly well known" he said.

He listened to her talk carefully, he was surprised that she had been turned down by modeling agencies. But these days they were all looking for something generic and she was far from that, she was unique and he liked that. "Usually people want tall models, odd, I know I haven't been around for a while, but usually stuff like that doesn't change" he said "Well, then we can count this as a partnership, I'll get you where you want to get in the modeling world" he said with a smile, he had full confidence in himself. "Not to tall at all, in fact your perfect, in every way" He said "Which one do you like better?" He asked

Reika smiled.Hearing him say he was going to get her into the modeling world made her the happiest gal in the world."Really?you can?Oh Thank you so much."Reika said cheerfully.
Reika didn't seem the type of girl to be happy and cheerful by her outer appearance.She looked
like she was some kind of gunslinger or something like that.Reika was normally stubborn and rude but,when it came to her carreer she would desperately do anything to become a world famous model.

While Reika and James spoke to one another she was very happy and pleased to what she was hearing from James."All of this sounds perfect..its almost too good to be true or its too good to be real.I feel like this is a dream."She said with a chuckle.
Though she was unsure what he meant by the last sentence."This might sound embarrassing but...what do you mean by the last sentence?"She asked nervously.

"Yes I can" he said. He didn't doubt he could for one minute, he had his own studio where he could take pictures of her, he would have her in one of the countries top modeling agencies if it was the last thing he did. He knew no one would ignore his pictures, they would look at them, and see what he saw, even if he had to make him see it. "I should be thanking you, after all, I haven't taken a picture of anyone in almost two years, your saving me, I'm just helping you reach when your supposed to reach" he said. He believed she had it in her to read the top, even without him it would've just taken someone to notice her true beauty.

"Often things feel like a dream, when they do you know someone truly amazing has happened, and that rarely ever does happen so treasure it while you can" he said with a smile. "I meant which name, you said I could call you by either, so I'm asking which one you like better" he said. "I should give you a card, I wonder if I still carry any around" he said and reached into his pockets and found one "Here" he said, all my contact information is on there" he said. It had all his new numbers on it, that no one else had.

Reike chuckled."Right just call me Reika then.I like that one better."Reika hoped that James was going to be the person to change her into a famous model.She had great trust in him even if they did only meet a few minutes or even seconds ago."Im very greatful for what you are doing for me.This may be the happiest moment of my life ever since i have moved here.I have you to thank.Usually after seeing all kinds of agencies i would be depressed and frustrated with myself but today i feel so much happier so thank you.I will treasure this moment and feeling."

Reika took the card gently out of James hand and memorized every number and letter."I'll call you very soon im asuming?"She asked just making sure.She was unsure if he was going home or what.But,Reika began to speak again."Why don't you come to lunch with me?It will be a thank you.I'll be paying."Reika said with a wink.Reika was quite a charmer or a good flirter though she doesn't even know she is a good flirter.She doesn't even know when she is flirting.

"Okay, Reika it is, that's a very pretty name by the way" he said with a smile. It seemed almost like she didn't realize that while he was helping her, she was helping him. She was giving him his inspiration back for something he loved more than anything, something he cherished dearly. Maybe she would come to realize how much she meant to him, just like he meant a lot to her, maybe in time that was, everything happened in time "Well I'm very grateful to you as well" he said. At least she wasn't one of those snobby girls who believed they deserved everything and then some, like the world on a silver platter.

"Well the sooner the better really, Am I allowed to have your number as well?" he asked. It would be easier if he had her number as well, especially if he needed to get in contact with her for something important, which usually happened, you never did know when something would come up. "Lunch, that sounds great" he said and returned her wink with a charming smile. Having lunch with her would give him a chance to get to know her better which would end up being important.

Reika smiled and a light pink color showed up on her cheeks."Thank you.Your name is quite charming."Reika felt embarrassed for saying that along with not giving him her number."I totally forgot!This wont take long."She said getting a notepad and pen writting her address cellphone number and home number.She then took the page out of her notepad and gave it to him."Here you go.I put my address their too."Reika said with a smile.

Reika then put her notepad and pen away and placed her arm around his."Alright lunch it is!Now what kind of food do you like for lunch.We can go get pasta,or sandwhiches,or pizza,hamburgers or salads.Im up for anything."Reika said cheerfully as she walked with James looking at all kinds of the resturaunts buildings."We can also get chinese food,or anything vegitarian like.They have many resturaunts that have so many great foods.Anything you like just name it and we can eat."

"Your welcome, and thank you very much" he said. That was the first time his name had ever really been called charming before, it was strange to hear that but he liked it. "Alright" he said and watched her right it down, now if he needed to get in touch with her he would be able to. "Thank you" he said and put the note safely in his pocket so he wouldn't lose it "What days are you free?" he asked. He didn't know if she had a job or was still attending school or anything like that, and he couldn't ask her to quit her job in till she was making enough in the modeling world to support herself.

"Whatever you like best is fine with me" he said. He was perfectly fine with anything really, he wasn't picky in the least "Though it's kind of nice to hear you say things like hamburgers and pizza, means you eat healthy and aren't anorexia or anything" he said. He had faced that a lot with models, and honestly he found nothing charming or pretty at all about people who were two skinny it was ugly actually. "Like I said before you choose, I'm up for anything BUT vegetarian food" he said

"I do have a job but im fixing to quite.they don't really pay well not to mention their are so many perverted men."Reika said with a chuckle."And i don't go to school.im actually taking a year off.So im basically free everyday."Reika said with a smile."Alright then.Hamburgers sound great right now to me."She said with a chuckle and took him into one of her favorite places to eat.She then ordered for both of them and payed and waited for the food.

She and James sat down at a table and waited."So James...do you have any hobbies besides photography or any interests if i may ask?"Reika said with a smile.She wanted to know James better."My interests i like swimming,running,and seeing all kinds of nature.Like cherry blossom trees or just trees in general."Reika said with a chuckle."And for hobbies i like reading and writing and sketching too.Especially on a rainy day because after the rain there is a rainbow."Reika said cheerfully.Reika was very excited about working with James.

"Huum, well if you need the money I wouldn't suggest quitting, even if everything goes perfect, your not just going to get money that fast" he said. He didn't want her to quit unless she had to "I mean, you will get money, just if your struggling right now, I just wouldn't suggest quitting it would be a bit reckless" he said. Then again if it came down to it he would just give her money, he had enough of it, and she was important to him, so it didn't bother him. He didn't do the job for the money, money didn't mean much to him at all. "Okay, we'll work out a schedule then, after lunch why don't you come over for a while and we'll work that out?" he asked. It would be good if she knew where he lived, since she would have to come there, because that's where his studio was. "Okay" He said with a smile

"Not really, photography has always been my life, I started as a kid and grew up taking pictures, it really annoyed my father since he viewed it has a worthless career choice, funny thing is I made more funny than he ever made, and he still didn't accept it" he said with a laugh "Though I used to draw a lot as a kid to, art is a wonder, it's amazing" he said "Well, I can see someone keeps in shape" he said, that was good to, if you weren't healthy being a model could destroy you.

"I actually have 3 jobs."Reika said with a chuckle.The one i want to quite is being a waitress it doesn't really pay all that well."Reika said calmly.
When she heard photography has always been his life she smiled."Art and photography are two great things.photography is like art if you think about it.Your letting people see how you see things your way.Its quite amazing."
Reika said with a smile.

Soon their meal came and the waitress had it on their table.Reika began eating.She was quite hungry but didn't show any sloppy side from her hunger.She ate normally.

"Well as long as you can get by, putting yourself in a position which leads you to being stressed for money, is not a good idea" he said and thought about it some "Than again, I'll just pay you for allowing me to take pictures of you, after all you will be working for me" he said. If he paid her enough and she was able to quit the other jobs, he wouldn't have to worry about her being tired or anything which would work to his advantage. "Yeah I know it is, I just never was very good at drawing, so I stopped" he said with a laugh

Once there food came, he realized how hungry he actually was and stared eating. He looked over at her, it was good that she ate how she did "Don't change how you eat" he said. She would look healthy all the time, and that was very appealing, sickly looking models where a turn off, and were hard to make look good.

After taking a bite Reika spoke."I wont change how i eat.Also my jobs aren't stressful that i have im not worried about money.I have these jobs for fun and to pay my rent.And also to meet friends along the way."Reika said with a chuckle and sipping her drink."And today i met a great friend.Which is you."
Reika said with a smile and took another bite of her hamburger.

Reika wondered what else they could talk about.She wanted to know more but she didn't know what to ask him about."So..what city or state were you born?"

"I'm just saying" he said. He remembered how stressful work could be, he was lucky to have been discovered early and didn't have to work many minimum wage jobs that were hardly enough to survive. He remembered how jealous his friends where of him when he got the job he did, they all wanted to make a lot of money but no one wanted to work for it "Well I'm honored to be considered your friend" he said with a smile

"I'm surprised you don't know all that stuff, it's all public knowledge, in fact not much about my life besides the past two years isn't" he said. One thing he disliked about being famous was how everyone knew everything about you "You can even find some secrets, the media dug up, but they weren't harmful secrets" He said with a shrug

"Im the person who doesn't go out to find out anything about celebrities whenever a secret has been unfolded about them.Im just the type of person who finds it on her own you could say."Reika said with a chuckle."I actually don't know a lot about myself such as who my parents are."Reika said with a smile."I actually lost my memory when i was in high school.All i knew was most of my life i was an orphan.I mostly met all my friends when i was an orphan."Reika said keeping a smile on her face.

"Huum, well there isn't much about me to learn anyway, no naked picture scandals, or sleeping with a prostitute or anything like that, those seem to be the big things these days" he said with a laugh. Seemed like a lot of famous people were getting in trouble for those two things, stupid really to ruin everything like that. Especially when they could probably find someone who'd sleep with them for free "How can you smile, while saying that?" he asked. He found it hard to believe she was really okay with all that, like it didn't hurt her at all, and she was just able to keep a smile on her face.

[[He... should find her parents for her, if there alive]]

"Im an adult now so i don't think i would cry over it if i never found them.Some people live without parents.And im fine with that.I might be hard on myself or dense even.But all my life in highschool i've looked for them.No one has heard of them nor ever seen them.Maybe their lying to me because they did something bad and can't involve me in it but at this point im not going to keep searching for them and risking my health for it.When i did search for them i never ate,or even kept myself hydraited."

{ooo sounds interesting.}

[[That's what I thought, he doesn't have to, if you dislike the idea]]

"Well you know it's okay to cry even though you are an adult" he said. He remembered how he had wanted his fathers approval for the longest time growing up, even after he became an adult, but he had learned no matter what he did he would never earn it so he had given up. His mother loved him and that was all that mattered. "Huum, even if you look it's hard to find parents without money, I mean that information isn't supposed to be given out usually, and most of the time, the parents don't want to be found, and once they change there mind and choose to find there child it's to late, a lot of parents regret it after wards" He said

"I feel like my parents didn't want me or like me thats the way i have always felt.I also have a feeling my parents did something horrible to me or something along those lines."Reika said after taking another bite of her hamburger.Soon she was done and drank most of her drink."I normally have flashbacks of my childhood in my dreams.Their mostly nightmares though."Reika said with a chuckle.

"Though sometimes i have had the same nightmare ever since i was in high school.Im not sure if that is weird or even the least bit of good.Though i think it could mean something."

"I'm sure that's not true, most parents give up there children so they can have a better life, sadly that often doesn't happen" he said. He knew the adoption system wasn't all that great and often kids grew up lonely in an orphan with no one at all but themselves. But what did he know, he grew up in a loving household, for the most part at least "Maybe those are just things you made up, or something" He said as he finished eating

"And what is this nightmare you keep having?" he asked wondering about it

Reika's face turned serious when she had to speak about her nightmare.Though how serious she looked,it made her look much more beautiful than she already was."Im not certain why but in my nightmare i usually have a dream about my mother trying to choke me.I know that sounds really weird."She said laughing all of a sudden.Obviously she was embarrassed saying that."It was probably just a bad dream and not a flash back."

Though Reika felt like it had to be a flashback if it kept comming into her dreams.

"You said you don't remember your parents, are you sure that, you aren't dreaming about some adoptive parents you had?" He asked. If she had forgotten her past, there was always that chance she was dreaming of her adoptive parents, after all that seemed more likely. "Well I imagine dreaming something like that is pretty scary, if you ever need someone to talk to at night don't hesitate to call me" he said most of the time he was up till pretty late anyway.
