"May I help you? Miss?"
Suzuno turned around sharply in her tracks to face a stern-looking, middle- aged woman. She was peering at her under thick glasses and repeated her question, this time irritated. Suzuno gave her a weak grin and fumbled around in her purse.
"I'm looking for Mrs.Hanashi...she said this was the building..."Suzuno said sheepishly, handing her a sheet of paper.the woman gave her a weird look and read the paper with a frown...then reread it before finally giving it back.
"3rd floor, fourth door to your right.be quick. She has a meeting in 10 minutes."
Suzuno smiled a thanks and went to the elevator. Mrs.Hanashi was supposed to have a job offering for her...and she needed it. Suzuno sighed as she stepped into the elevator.
//mom will be ok...she's strong...she can get past this...but still, it would help to have more money to support her.//
Her father had left mysteriously a few days before and her mother was in a state of shock. Everything had been going so well...all that was missing from the house that he took was his suitcase, some clothes...and a mysterious "something" from his library that mother wouldn't tell of.
She heard the "ding" as the elevator reached the 3rd floor with a slight shudder. Suzuno stepped onto the plush snow-white carpet and looked around. There were 3 corridors, one to the front, one to the right, and one to the left. She glanced at her sheet of paper, where the directions the woman had given her were scribbled on.
//fourth door to the right....//
she walked to the right, counting the doors until she got to the fourth.(1)Suzuno took a sigh and knocked on the wooden door twice. There was a slight creaking sound from inside and there were soft footsteps. The locks were unlocked and a woman in her late 40s peeked her head out. She had a scowl on her face, but as soon as she saw Suzuno standing there, she smiled.
"Suzuno! I wasn't expecting you so soon...no matter! Come in, come in..."
Suzuno smiled at the woman and stepped inside the room. Mrs. Hanashi was a short, kind-faced woman...altough her cooking proved different. She sat down on a cushy sky-blue couch and set her purse down. Mrs.hanashi came and sat down across from her, giving Suzuno a kind smile.
"don't be nervous dear. Cookie?"
Suzuno paled at this. Her cookies were...well, you could never tell what was inside. her brother (2) claimed he found salmon in there once…he never touched them again.
"Um...no thank you." She said in her sweetest voice, " what jobs do you have avaliable for me?"
Mrs. Hanashi set down her tea, which she had somehow gotten while Suzuno wasn't looking. "for a nice young girl like you...i might have a few. Would you consider interior decorating?"
Suzuno thought about this for awhile, thinking it over in her head. Interior decorating WAS nice, but time consuming. And she had her studies to worry about. She shook her head.
Mrs. Hanashi shuffled through some papers, shaking her head at some. "how about a doctor's assistant? Or an eye doctor's assistant? You could help with a garden...or there is-"
"wait." Suzuno interupted her," I'd like that job."
Mrs. Hanashi looked at her strangely. " well, I guess being a doctor's assistant appeals to some, me- I can't really stand blood, it makes me go all queasy and-"
"no no no...i meant about the garden. Can you tell me more?"
"well...it says here that the person who runs it needs a young lady around the plants, something about peace, and it pays well...not really time- consuming... it's perfect for you!"
Suzuno smiled and picked up her purse. "I'll take that job. Thanks a lot mrs.Hanashi…" she stood up to go.
"WAIT! Don't you want a cookie?!"
Suzuno sweatdropped as Mrs. Hanashi grinned SD form, holding out a plate of cookies piled up to the ceiling.
"egh..."
*Later*
Suzuno sighed as she stepped out of the building, her purse loaded with cookies she didn't have the heart to deny. It was cold outside, and she had been in a rush to get to Mrs. Hanashi, so she didn't have as much clothing on. She looked at the bundle of papers she held in one hand. She would start work tomorrow at the Kikyou garden center.
//I have a job...// she thought happily.
The winter wind swirled around suzuno as she began to run home, finally blowing her papers away. She chased after them as they began to fly apart from the small paper clip which held them in place. Soon she was scrambling to get the papers from the air and pick them up from the ground.
"COME BACK HERE!!"
// oh yes Suzuno, yelling at the papers will REALLLLLYYY help now!//(3)
the papers finally landed on the ground in front of someone in a brown wool jacket. The person picked them up and gave them to the panting Suzuno.
"th-thanks..."
she said, out of breath from chasing the papers for about 4 blocks.
"no problem."
The man's voice, for it was surely a man, was gentle and somehow...just somehow, familiar. Suzuno smiled at him and walked away, stuffing the papers in her purse. It wouldn't go in for some reason. She shuffled the papers around. Her hand clunked against something hard and she gasped. It was so pretty...in her hand she held a beautifully decorated mirror. She turned it over slowly. There was a sheet of paper on it...
" Dear Suzuno" it read.
"this mirror is yours. It's about time it was returned to it's owner."
@------
(it was supposed to be a rose.)
Suzuno turned back to search for the mysterious man, but no one was there.
**atop a building, watching her**
The man stood up, the rosebud closing as he moved his hand over it. The center was flat, as if something had been resting there for a long time. He looked longingly at the young girl on the sidewalk.
"it's been a long time...my love."
TBC?
(1)ack.,…don't ask me! four is a LOT to count no da!! ^.^;; hehe…she was bored?
(2) I don't know if she had a brother or not...well she does now~ ^.^
(3) I know Suzuno isnt really…sarcastic. But it was getting too moody! At least in my terms...
ACKK! Sap sap sap!! ^.^;; plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz review!!! It's just down there! Takes like 4 minutes!! Fellow authors, you know what it's like right?!?
