Can I dance again?
Sitting alone, in a small 2 bedroom apartment a young girl was curled up on the sofa. Closing her eye's holding her shoulder with her right, the left arm around her stomach. Head leaning backwards, she was 18, I know what your thinking she shouldn't be home right? She should be out partying and having the time of her life. Unfortunately this young woman had lost so much in the past that she doesn't even want to live anymore, looking down at her arm, after lifting up her sleeve. Seeing the main vein artery in her wrist, she wished so many times she could just take a blade and slit it. Or go buy a box of medication and take it all in one go. She lives alone so no one would know right?
Unfortunately she couldn't even do that, In exchange for losing her family at the age of 13, she gave up a large part of her life. Looking to her right, there was a photo sitting of a family with 6 people, a mother, a father, 3 daughters and one son. Placing a hand to her head trying to cover her eye's. " it's all my fault… I couldn't save you all."
Laying down she rocked herself to sleep that night. Her face red with tears. A woman stood beside her very faint she leaned down and placed a soft gentle but cold kiss on the girls forehead, 'it's not your fault'
The next morning at 7.30 an alarm was heard ringing threw the air, sitting up on the sofa she realesed she had the most uncomfortable sleep ever. Giving a stretch and a sigh " Damn it, why do I have to be in work so early in the morning, can't that jerk ever do anything by himself?" Getting up she walked over to the bathroom to take a hot shower, it helped and made her feel relaxed, looking down at her body, She was a slim Athletic person, her stomach toned showing the lines of a 6 pack forming from the training she does on a night. Her long reddish brown hair shone in the glistening water. Her body filled out in all the right places, Any MAN! Or WOMAN would want this girl.
After 15 minutes in the shower she got out and dried herself. Placing on a long sleeve army top and a long pair of blue jeans, Tying her long brown hair up in a pony tail. Once satisfied with her look, the young girl grabbed a bottle of milk out of the fridge and downed it before realising the time, spitting out the last drebs of her milk she rushed to the door grabbing her keys, wallet and mobile phone, throwing on a pair of green converse high tops. The woman locked the door checked twice and ran of in the direction of Shibuya train station. " Damn it! Why do I have to live 30 minutes away from that damn office! I should really look into a new apartment." not giving it any more thought she just made the train.
Giving a sigh, the train was crowded like usual, and worse she had to stand next to the most awful smelling guy ever. 'I'm so going to kill Naru'
The train finally reached her destination, it hadn't even stopped fully when people was waiting the girl jumped off the train and began running straight to the place of work.
Once finally arriving she leaned against the wall out of breath, looking at the time " I still have 10 minutes thank god for that!" kneeling down, holding a hand to her chest " I bet Naru will be surprised today" Once catching her breath our brown haired girl walked up the steps to the office, on the door it labelled ' S.P.R shibuya psychic research'. but as soon as she opened the door a voice shouted out "Mai TEA!" giving a growl she walked into the small kitchenette that they held at the office.
"Fine you stupid, Tea-Loving Jerk." muttering to herself, taking out 3 porceline cups she new Lin would be dying for a Tea also, thank god she stocked up on the stuff the day before otherwise she would be running to the shop. " My shift doesn't even start for another 5 minutes." Leaning against the counter, her mind went deep into thought. The anniversary of her parents and younger brothers death was coming up. What could she do but feel depressed? No she couldn't she had to be cheerful like always, otherwise the others would know something was wrong. She didn't need their pity.
Hearing the kettle, it broke her train of thought, quickly pouring the hot water and milk to the men's tastes. She placed them onto a tray and went to deliver the hot steaming liquids that they required for them to function threw the day.
'seriously how can Naru's bladder even handle this much tea?' opening the door to Lins first she placed the cup on the table, " Good morning Lin, how are you this morning?" He looked up from his laptop and gave a small nod " Good thank you Mai-san how are you?" Scratching her cheek managing to balance the tray. " Alright thanks, well I better go into the lions den and give him his precious tea before he docks my wage again." He gave a last nod as she walked out of the office going to the bosses, which was only next door, she gave a signal 2 knock and entered "Here Naru your Tea." she walked up to the desk.
"Good, now I need you to do some filing then call up the rest of the team, I accepted a case last night after you went home." Raising her eye brow, it was twitching a little but keeping her calm placing the tea onto the desk, " alright, May I ask where the case is?"
He looked up from his little black book of death, as so Mai called it. " it's a dance school here in Tokyo." she nodded understanding " that's new, a case where we don't even have to leave town." she took the information off the boss and looked down at the address. Her eye's widened almost dropping the tray she was holding. " Naru, are you sure this address is correct?" He looked up to her and nodded "yes, I am sure I double checked."
Giving a deep breath, she gathered herself and began walking out of the office, " oh and Mai, try not to embarrass us on the case, that is a major school that trains professionals in Japan." Giving a growl she turned around " you Narsassit Tea-Loving JERK!" She walked out slamming the door leaving the man with a satisfied smile on his face. He loved to see the girl angry, but in truth… deep down he loved her, he just hasn't had the chance to tell her. Looking out of the window "Maybe… just maybe after this case."
Sitting down at her desk taking a sip of the hot roasted coffee she had, placing the address down. "Why… why does it have to be this school?" Picking up the office phone she began to call all the members of SPR. Telling them to meet at the required location at 10am tomorrow morning. Also telling them to pack for at least a week or two, some was shocked on the location and excited to meet the dancers.
But one girl wasn't she placed the office phone down after having a long weird chat with a man. " Yasu! You give me one hell of a migraine" reaching into the top draw of her desk taking out two asprin popping them into her mouth drinking the last of her coffee. Tomorrow she was really dreading it.
