Chapter one
At morning in Kuga's apartment Natsuki checked her suit to work… She was a vice-manager at some big Company and she was lived in apartment near her office. She lived alone and because of that she always like freedom thing and the result was how mess her room because she rarely cleaned it. Except the laundry and her precious underwear, all of her stuff was all over the room.
Now after some instant noodle for breakfast and once again looked at her suit, she left for worked.
'Well another nice day without that bitch' she thought with smiled.
'Think about it, it's been three month since our graduation from college and I must face bad day every day since middle school cause that woman but now it's over cause I'm not gonna meet that bitch again' she thought again.
After twenty minute walked she finally arrived at her room.
"Kuga-san" said her boss not too long after she sat.
"Yes?"
"Your new manager will arrived soon so please be ready"
"Yes, I will"
"And you have the report don't you?"
Then it remind her on something, but she quickly hid her emotion.
"Yes I have, don't worry Mr. Manager"
"Ex-manager, I will miss you after this Kuga"
"Me too"
Then he left Natsuki's room.
'Shit! I forgot he will be transfer to another Company today and thanks to my untidy habit I forgot where I place the report!' she cursed herself.
After she searched to whole of her room she finally found her report and of course the reward was her cleaned room became as mess as her apartment. Natsuki then looked at her watch.
'Shit I don't have time to clean it! I think I can do it later' then she took her leave.
In her way to meeting room she met her ex-boss.
"Hey Kuga-san" he said cheerfully
"You really know how to mix formal words and non-formal one, didn't you?"
"Don't be like that, it's my last time to see you and call you as a friend you now"
"I know and I hope you will be my manager not the one that will replace you"
"You know her already?"
"No I even just know few second ago that my new boss is a woman but I already have feeling that she can't match with me"
"Hahaha you too paranoid Kuga and I bet you just make the report for your new manager and didn't bother to know her, right?"
"Yes ex-boss"
"Hah I hope she will get use to you soon enough cause you really as cold as ever, Kuga"
"Like I care bout that"
Then they arrived at the meeting room.
There was a new manager, executive manager, some staff, secretary and the treasurer.
'Why I think I knew that brunette woman?' she thought when she glanced at a woman that looked at the window.
"Kuga-san?" said her ex-boss, distract her from thinking.
"Huh?"
"Please meet your new boss and our new manager in this Company" he point at the brunette from before that now make her way to her chair opposite Natsuki.
When they face each other they was more than surprised. Their eyes wider and shocked shoot their heart.
After some silent they shouted in the same time.
"Ara… Kuga!?!"
"Fujino!?!"
Then silent moment again for a while till someone broke it.
"Wow I don't know you already knew each other" said Kanzaki Reito, the executive manager.
"Ah… We were attend the same school and the same college, Kaichou" Shizuru spoke first.
"So you two a good friend, right? Then I'm glad since you two will work together from now on, it'll be easier if you work with your friend right?"
"Yes" they said it in same time and force their best fake smiled.
'The truth is we were like eternal enemy since we met than good friend you dumb ass' they thought.
"Then shall we begin the meeting?" Reito asked and the other nodded.
After some long meeting, cleaning her mess, a mount of paperwork and unwanted reunion, Natsuki back at her home by taxi cause she don't have much energy to walked.
Before she reached her room, she saw the owner out from the room next to her.
"Oh Kuga-chan, good night" she greet.
"Night baa-chan, why you in there?" she curious.
"Well you will have neighbour from now on, she arrived little after you left for work to place her stuff and she asked me to clean it since she almost late for work"
'Huh so I will have neighbour? Shit I don't like neighbour' she thought.
"Is something wrong, Kuga-chan?" she asked in concern.
"No no nothing wrong, I just curious when she will be in here that's all"
"I think she will be in here after she finish her work, that's what she said when she called me and she also apologize cause asked me to clean her room since she have allergy for dust. I don't mind at all cause she seems nice and her accent is cute"
"Accent?" she narrow her eyebrow.
"Yes I think it's from Kyoto since she said she born in there"
'She? Kyoto accent? I don't know why but I have a really really bad feeling about this'
"Then I take my leave, night"
"Y-yes, night and take care"
Don't wanted her thought disturb her, Natsuki quickly enter her room. When she enter and saw that her room looked like crushing boat she sighed.
'Weekend… I'll wait till weekend. What i need to do now is just go to bath, eat and sleep and then fix my bike in early morning before work'
Next morning…
'I don't remember I have such a bored face in morning especially in my room, I just have cold face and sometime bored face in office and NOT in my room' she sighed cause she will meet her rival, enemy and her new boss, Fujino Shizuru…
After some morning routine she out for worked and in the same time she accidentally met her new neighbour…
They stared each other and until what seems like eternity they shouted at same time. Again.
"EEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHH………!?!?!?!?!?!"
"WHY YOU IN HERE?" they said it at the same time. Again.
What a perfect timing… (-_-)
"I live in here since before you came here! So why you in here?" Natsuki shouted.
"I live in here since it just need twenty minute walked or few minute car ride to my office"
"You have your own Companies why you in my office and since you have a car why you don't choose another apartment that more luxurious than this?"
"Oh forgive me Kuga-san but your office IS one of my father Companies and like I said before I like in here cause it's nice and near my office. I don't need something luxurious for your information"
"So the one that have Ferrari say that she DON'T need something luxe?" she smirked.
"At least I ride my car and not walk even she have sport bike"
"I don't ride my bike cause there's something I need to fix and it just some while ago I have time to repair it" she found some excuse.
"Yeah yeah I know, it just stupid people that woke at three in morning just to repair her bike"
"I'm glad I disturb your pleasant dream" she smiled evilly.
"Yes and thanks to you I don't have much time to sleep and to go to work" Shizuru point at her watch.
"Shit! I'll be late"
"You say you'll be late in front of your boss?" she smirked.
"You just be my boss when in office and that's all, Fujino!" she said coldly and then rush to her bike.
Because they went almost in the same time their vehicle of course ride side…
"Ara is Kuga miss me that much so even in road she can't let me go?" she said when she opened her window.
"Why I miss you anyway. You the one that appear in my life!"
They have some race competition that make the normal traffic became the jammed one…
Shizuru skill at driving car could compare Natsuki skill in riding bike, they really didn't wanted to lose to each other.
About 10 minute later, they arrived in office in the same time…
"I don't accept drawn" Natsuki said after she parked her bike and met Shizuru in front of the building door.
"Me neither"
Like unspoken agreement they ran in rush to the elevator and because it already full they went to the stair and climb all of it in equal speed like when they ran in front door and building hallway. All the staff was curious why their boss did something stupid like that, but of course both Natsuki and Shizuru didn't care at all.
Finally the made it to their room even they really really breathless and all of their body full of sweat after that running time. And again their competition was useless cause they drawn. Again.
Destiny really can play with people in this world.
Not bad enough for them that they must became rival in school life, classmate at high school, almost all the class at college they attended it together, then they work in same building office, partner at job, next to each other at apartment, and now they must face it that their room next to each other…
'Why destiny is so cruel with me' they thought and sighed in same time but they didn't want to face each other so they just enter their own room to do some paperwork that was waiting in their desk.
