Mild breeze was blowing through the trees. The dew clad streets of Tomoeda was sparkling as meelow morning sunlight fell upon them. Sakura Kinomoto, working in foreign consulate of Japan came out of her house with her bike. It takes almost three hours to reach her office in Tokyo. Normally she goes by her her car. But today is different. She needed a dose of extra energy and an adrenalin rush to settle her nervously pondering heart. Because it was the day she was looking forward to. Today foreign deligates of China will come to attend a meeting about growing political conflict in the parts of Northern Pacific ocean. If she can make a mark today and prove to be beneficial for her country not only her career graph will rise exponentially but a part of her heart will inflate with pride as a japanese too.

She kicked her bike with full force and weaved her way through the busy streets.

It's 1 pm. The Chinese deligates will be arriving soon. Sakura grabbed her phone and went towards the entrance hall of Japanese Consulate building where she knew her colleagues would also also be to welcome the guests. She politely stood in the small row and bowed as ther entered. Now it's the time for the meeting. All the members of japanese consulate and chinese too gathered in the big conference hall. It's gonna be a long day. Sakura thought.

The clock ticks 8 pm now. Sakura exited from the office and went towards the parking slot, the incidents of today's meeting swirling in her head.

A chinese member was crossing all her points and middle ground solutions she tried to provide. Although she behaved very professionally she was agitated inside. The dream of her career graph rising has gone down hill because of this. She felt heavy hearted and sighed.

She was walking with a blank vision. After coming out of her reverie Sakura saw a figure looping over her bike in the deserted parking zone.

"HEY, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU? AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY BIKE?" Sakura dashed towards her bike and then she noticed it was the same Chinese guy she was having arguments.

"What do you want?" She asked as calmy as possible.

"Oh nothing. "

"Then ?"

"I was thinking if you can show me around. I would like to know aboout the culture here."

"But now I am heading towards home."

"After showing me around you can go home."

"My home is not in Tokyo. It's in Tomoeda a nearby small town."

"Then you may show me your town."

"Excuse me?"

"Oh come on. You don't have to worry about dropping me back. I will come back myself. You just take me to Tomoeda and offer me a tour."

"I dont understand why you dont opt for the official tour? It's gonna happen tomorrow anyway as a part of your visit."

"Ah..It won't be fun though."

"HOE?"
