(Read this, it's actually important)

A/N: This is, if you read my profile just the first chapter and sample for which 2 stories will be released.

If you haven't already known, Here's a briefing here.

Currently 2 of my stories are finishing up!

Somewhere In-Between

If It Makes You happy

So that means it gives room to 2 NEW stories.

The special in this?

WELL, I'm happy to inform all of you that YOU, the readers will get to choose from my pending stories WHICH 2 you want to read. Although all the stories to choose from will be released one day, you all get to choose which ones get to be created 1st.

SO, This will be decided through a poll on my Profile here. The first chapter of each choice will be released to give everyone a taste of how each story will flow as well. With the summary and the first chapter you shall all choose 2 Stories ONLY!

POLL ENDS JANUARY 28TH!!! VOTE FAST!!!

I will also judge on how many reviews each story gets as well so if you can't vote, leave your vote as a review and I'll count it )

A/N: You may all find this quite hard to believe! But it's true! In this story, I don't want to JUST focus on the main characters but the world and problems around them. You'll see a fair share of OC's (don't run away because I said that! XP) and familiar people as well. They will all connect in a way which will reveal itself through the story… How I managed to connect everyone is crazy as well but makes sense nonetheless. I guess all I can say is trust me and whatever doesn't make sense you can point out so I'll clarify! Enjoy and review!

Fated

Rated: M

Summary: When does the heart skip a beat? When do eyes really meet? Can you really say that love at first sight really does exist?

Those are all the typical questions someone might think and brush off but Fuji Syuusuke, a genius by nature, who had refused to use his IQ anymore than he had to was absolutely sure that if he entered the international business world, he'd see "him" again.

Chapter I: Chance Meeting

'When does the heart skip a beat? When do eyes really meet? Can you really say love at first sight exists?

Those questions will forever be a mystery but I've long decided that you can only know if you've felt it, you can only say after it has happened…there are only 2 types of views people take in the world of love. Some believe in chance of fate for love, others chase it relentlessly trying to find it…. but all that matters in the end is, was their eyes on you?

I had/have one such love…it was purely by fate in my eyes that we met. To tell all of you the straight truth, I'm rather embarrassed to remember how I first looked into his golden eyes filled with amusement and something else that day in the rain. I was rather pathetic kneeling on the ground and he was rather superior holding an umbrella over my head.'

LA, USA

"I don't understand why we're breaking up on our trip Sei?" Fuji said grabbing Sei's hand to stop him from leaving the hotel.

"I already have a lover waiting for me!" Sei said jerking his hand away angrily to point at the hotel they just came out of. "This trip was just to breakup with you since my lover doesn't like me playing around when he's around."

"Sei…you mean the whole time we were together… you were with him?" Fuji asked softly.

"Of course!" Sei said opening his umbrella to walk out into the pouring rain. "Now if you'd get lost I'm going to go with my maid to pick him up."

"Sei!" Fuji said grasping Sei's shoulder. He didn't care that he was getting wet from the heavy rain. "This is too sudden, why did you want to take a trip with me then?"

"I told you! To dump you!" Sei said jerking away from him. "Get away from me, you're getting me wet!"

"Why didn't you just tell me before I wasted money on this trip?" Fuji said getting mad now.

"What fun is that?" Sei said with a haughty smile, "I'd rather see you stranded here with your limited English!"

"At least I can its not broken like yours," Fuji said angrily.

"Ha! Don't try to cut me dead with that glare of yours! You'll never be able to touch me again you girl!" Sei laughed out with a sneer. "Being drenched like that fits you!"

"I won't forgive you for doing this to me!" Fuji said dangerously.

Sei merely walked to the black BMW that stopped in front of him. "Get lost Fuji! You're nothing to me now!"

The car drove away but Fuji still stood there in anger…He had never felt so used in his life before…rather, he was the one who always used people. So why, when he was finally serious about a relationship, did it turn out that he was used?

Collapsing on the floor from exhaustion of everything in his life right now, Fuji felt the rain sliding down his skin but he didn't feel like he was able to move back under the shelter…

"Crazy…"

"Maybe he's a model…"

"…Shooting a movie?"

Fuji heard the mutters of the people passing by at how crazy he was to be on his knees, in front of a hotel being soaked to death by rain. Still, he didn't care…he just wanted to sulk in peace.

"Getting sick is not going to help you get over whatever you're worrying about…"

'At that moment, I understood what it truly meant to fall in love…it was as if my heart had ceased to beat yet was rapidly beating, as if time had stopped but kept ticking.'

Fuji looked up as soon as he heard the voice and noted that the man was holding his umbrella over both their heads.

"I don't know what you're doing but I think it's more appropriate to sulk in private right?" The man said in perfect English.

"Yes…I suppose so…" Fuji answered, hoping he choose the right words.

"Che!" the man said looking into Fuji's eyes with his own amused golden ones, "Keep the umbrella, you'll need it for other rainy days you have."

Fuji could say nothing more as he unconsciously took the umbrella from the man's strong warm hands.

"Ryoma!"

"Coming," The man said and turned to run through the rain towards the group that was entering the hotel for what looked like a meeting since everyone was dressed professional in clean-cut suits and carrying briefcases.

Fuji couldn't react as he watched the man smile a quick smile at the old guy that looked quite familiar and disappear inside. Fuji couldn't quite grasp all his feelings at that moment but he knew one thing, he wanted to see that man again…

"Excuse me sir, but are you coming into the hotel?"

Fuji turned to see a bellboy with a umbrella looking worried at how wet Fuji was looking.

"No…But who are those people?" Fuji asked pointing to the last of the group that was entering.

"Business people… they're having an international meeting or something like that." The bellboy said. "Supposedly the world's elite business men's will all be here."

"Business huh…" Fuji murmured.

'I knew then that even if I didn't know anything about him besides hearing them call him Ryoma or where he even came from; I would surely meet him if I became a part of that group…the elite's. I counted this as a chance meeting and I thanked Sei for that one second…if he hadn't dumped me, I wouldn't have realized what only some can describe as "speechless" in front of the one you love. In that moment, I decided I would go straight home and use the brain I was gifted with, I would pursue him….'

A/N: That's it for the first chapter! The next chapter, if I continue this anytime soon, will focus a lot on Fuji's life trying to become an "elite" and Ryoma's background a to show everyone the world these 2 live in!
