I have not, in fact, disappeared from the earth. I am currently on a coffee-and-coke-equals-sugar-high and it is 4:30 in the morning, and I have to get up for school at about 6:00 and here I am, and this just came to me…..

……………….

High heels were designed by men to give them an excuse to stare at legs, and to make it harder for the girl to run away.

……………….

"Himura-san." She forced for gritted teeth.

The man in question looked at the woman in front of him with a faintly amused expression. "Yes, Kaoru?"

"That's Kamiya-san to you." He raised an eyebrow at her denial at familiarity.

"Alright then, yes Kamiya-san?" He said in a mocking tone.

Gritting her teeth again, she replied "This job exceeds the agreement we had set."

"Really?"

"Yes, sir." She said back to him, nodding. She had no doubt the man knew it was outside the agreement, his keen eyes seeing everything.

"Please do me the honor of telling me exactly what the problem is."

Taking a deep breath to relax herself, she regretted it instantly. His wonderful scent immediately filled her nose. It was due to years of self-denial that she could restrain herself from breaking down in front of him.

"You initiated the contract, sir, when you said you needed someone to escort to parties whose back you needn't watch. That would mean the escort would have to have the capability to defend for her in case of an attack. When I answered, I came with conditions of my own. The party I would escort you to would exceed no longer then a night and a day." She finished her tirade with a death glare.

"And my terms were that the said girl would accompany me to my parties. Besides, you would be able to go home around midday; so long as you return back for the one at night. Wouldn't it be much easier if you just stayed the day as well?"

Oh how he loved to see that spark of anger.

"Fine." She grit out, and turned.

As she stalked away, the Battousai couldn't help but to notice the wonderful things high heels did to a woman's behind.

………….

I do so love this one.

Also, someone commented on one of my stories how it's a shame I don't continue my stories, and that I should just stop writing or something like that and blah blah….. I would like to say that I err… am thanking you for the wonderful critism. Because as says, a well rounded critique is often the best thing you can give to an author. Thanks for taking it to heart.

Moving one, I would like to note that I do want to continue this one, should the time be ripe….. [I've always wanted to say that…]
