Forced To Sign

It was dark outside, and a young yet beautiful girl was still working inside her stuffed office cubicle. This was Hyuuga Hinata and her everyday life. She worked from 5:00 AM to 12:00 PM at night in a stuffy cubicle, earning a fair amount of money. Actually, the money she earned was not bad at all, but of course, the boss had known the quality of her work –resulting in her high salary.
It was exactly 11:30 and she was usually assigned to start packing up her laptop and paperwork by now –the workplace would be closing in thirty minutes. Arranging her things as neatly as she could, she reached out for her laptop and carefully slid it back into its container suitcase –which could be slung like a bag over your head, leaning on your shoulder. (A/N- You know, those new backpacks that students use –the ones that don't carry a lot of books but look good.)
So, she slung the bag over her head and put the leather strap on her shoulder. Her folders were also neatly arranged in a section of the bag that was apart from the laptop. She was going to exit her cubicle, when her cell phone rang. Looking at the number with the caller ID program, she noticed it was Sakura –a girl with exotic hair who was relatively close to the boss. She put the phone to her ear and breathed out calmly, "Hello Sakura."
"Hey, Hinata… I was wondering if you could, maybe, join me at the new club tonight. I'm sure that you'll have fun once you're here and once you hear the great music they're playing."
"Sakura let me explain to you my usual ritual during the weekdays. I get out of work by 12:00 and arrive at home by 12:20. I freshen up by 1:00 and go to sleep. Then, the boss expects me to wake up at 4:30 in the morning and be at work by 5:00. I don't think I can go to a club with you when I can't even find time to sleep properly…"
"Hinata let me explain to you my ritual during the weekdays. I always get to work at 11:00 in the morning and get out of work by 6:00 PM. I then go to a salon and they pamper to my every needs as well as Tsunade's. Then, Tsunade and me go and shop together for things we might need..."
"…So are you trying to tell me that your pampered weekdays are supposed to be worse than my weekdays?" Hinata interrupted.
"No, I am clearly and obviously stating that Tsunade is your boss and that I spend time with her more than you do and that I, when I'm disappointed, can tell Tsunade of my problems and she will immediately exterminate them. In other words, if you don't come to the 'Crystal Sand' club tonight, I will personally ask Tsunade with my puppy dog eyes to fire you in the morning! And also, Hinata, you should wear that silky red and black dress I was so kind to pick out for you as a present."
Outraged by how Sakura was blackmailing her, Hinata arrived at her house –which was a mansion- and dressed up into the dress Sakura had given her. The dress covered too little for her liking, but then again, Hinata didn't want to lean onto her father's support for money. She had personally asked him if she could start giving rent for her room in the mansion. She couldn't separate from the memories her room held, so she had decided to keep to sleeping in her childhood bedroom.
Hinata crept down the stairway in the silky and lacy dress Sakura had blackmailed her into wearing. The dress only went down mid-thigh and was blood red with onyx black laces brimming the hem of the dress and the straps that kept the dress secure on her. She didn't know why Sakura would pick this out of all the clothes in the world and she was still trying to figure out how Sakura knew her exact size.
Unsurprisingly, Hinata had arrived at the 'Crystal Sand' club thirty minutes after the call was sent. The club was, after all, only 5 minutes away if she ran at top speed. Once she arrived, she saw people dancing and getting drunk everywhere she looked. Then, she spotted a girl with exotic pink hair. Anger boiled up inside of her and she marched to Sakura and poked her harshly on the shoulder.
"OUCH!" Sakura's screech made the music stop and people turned to look at her. She furiously turned around and saw Hinata. Relaxing her glare, she started, "Hinata, what the hell do you think you're doing poking me hard?! You could have just lightly tapped me like this," she said as she proceeded to poke Hinata lightly, "There, now follow me so that I introduce you to someone of my acquaintance."
While poor, innocent Hinata was being dragged away by a psychotic Sakura, the crowd began dancing and getting drunk again. Meanwhile…
"Sakura! Stop pushing me so hard the dress is sliding down…"
"Hinata, stop whining and move it if you don't want me to push you. Hurry up now, we're almost there…" Sakura thought that Hinata was starting to sound like a child while she sounded like an old woman that was her mother…
They finally arrived at a door that was covered with soundproof sponges. The door seemed suspicious, since it was the only one that was covered with so much sponge and also that it was the last door in the whole club. Sakura, however didn't seem to care of how suspicious the door was. She happily opened it and rushed inside, seating herself in a comfy couch next to a desk.
Hinata had entered the room also, but had failed to notice just how many people besides Sakura were in the room. She closed her eyes, imagining how she would break it to Sakura that she had to go home, and stalked her way towards Sakura and sat by her. She was about to start talking and making excuses, when she heard a rough and monotonous voice cough out an, "Ahem…"
She opened her eyes to see a boy with blazing red hair looking, or rather glaring, at her. She looked at Sakura frantically, expecting her to be as frantic as she was, but she calmed down when she saw that Sakura looked like this was where she lived.
Noticing her frantic looks, Sakura sighed. Hinata is sure not a social person…Sighing she started saying, "Hinata the reason I called you to come with me to this club was because I wanted you to meet a friend of mine. His name is Sabaku no Gaara and he has informed me of his particular need for a new employee. The pay is the same as you get for working for Tsunade, except in this job, you don't have to be constantly working in the office."
Hinata was shocked at how Sakura had tricked her into coming into a room that held vicious people –who started emerging from the shadows of the room- without telling her. She gulped and stared at Sakura… "Now, now, Hinata; you don't have to answer. I know you wouldn't disappoint me and refuse my offer. And guess what? I already informed Tsunade that you would be working for someone else, so she agreed and let you go."
Now, Hinata was angry beyond belief. "You WHAT?" She had begun to form fists and was going to attack Sakura. She, however, controlled her anger and waited for cameras to pop out of nowhere and announce that she had been pranked. No cameras came…
"I said… I informed Tsunade that you would be working for Gaara instead of her. And just to clear things up, I knew you wouldn't accept the deal of working at a club so easily… so… I told Tsunade that little white lie on purpose."
In all this commotion, Gaara was sitting on this comfortable chair –watching amused, with a smirk tugging on his lips. He decided to step in on the fun, "So, now that Sakura has arranged everything for you, would be so kind as to sign this contract to work for me for a period of time?"
Hinata glared at him evilly, but she had to find a job. She just couldn't lean onto her father's support. Especially when it's this time of year…This time of year was when Hiashi went to his workplace that was on the other side of the world. The reason was that Hinata's father owned a company that was worldwide; he would go to one of the company's other workplaces that was far away every time, once a year.
So, she realized the truth. The cruel truth of this world; she had to sign the paper. She took the pen that was inside of Gaara's outstretched hand and signed the contract without hesitation. She didn't notice just how much Gaara was smirking evilly…
"Now that you have signed this contract, you will work for me for a long period of time. In this period of time, you will do as I say and only that, understand? So, let me read you the contract so that you know the rules you just agreed to oblige to everything without even reading over it to see if you were comfortable with it or not."
He then began reading the contract,
"I hereby claim that as an employee, I will try to be of use to my boss without angering him in any possible way. I will not interfere with his business, nor will I try to damage anything that is of his property. Things that I can do that don't include his ordering are asking for personal favors every now and then such as breaks, vacations, or play dates. The boss will come before anyone or anything while at work and you will not refuse the boss's orders once they have been given to you. The upperclassmen include the boss's bodyguards and the boss's siblings. Work hours vary and the boss can call you at anytime he pleases, asking for your help whenever he needs it. This contract is reinforced by the law and if not done or if denied once signed, the owner of the signature will be sent to jail for thirty years. Once signed, you will become the boss's – Sabaku no Gaara's– assistant, personal assistant."
When he finished reading the contract, he looked up to see Hinata's priceless reaction. How he wished he had his digital camera recharged right now… "Anyway, now that you know the rules and what you must do, you should probably get to work soon, don't you think? The first thing I want you to do is rearrange the bookshelves over there into alphabetical order. There are about a 150 new folders over there in those boxes in the corner to your left in which you will need to arrange the paperwork in. Any questions?"
"It's almost 2:00 in the morning, sir…"
"And is that going to be a problem?"
She shivered under his glare and started walked towards the shelves, picking out all the books with authors that owned a last name that started with 'A'. How she hated Sakura at that moment… How much she would give to kill her right now…
