Madam President
A/N: In this story her name is Hiroko Tsuru, since they never gave her a name. Also this fanfic follows the ANIME/OVA series, not the manga.
My name is Hiroko Tsuru or madam president as my employees always called me, and I am the 29 year old president of TM soft wear.
I always considered myself an independent woman. All my life I strived to be the best at what I did, whether it was school, competitions and especially in the work force. It's because of that and my intelligence that I managed to rise through the ranks so quickly and become the youngest president of my company's history, all at the tender age of 27.
My company and my career were my whole life. I'll admit that as a little girl I had some fantasies of a prince coming to sweep me off my feet and on to a better life, but as I grew older I became much more realistic, knowing that that would likely never happen with all the perverted fools who would rather see how far they could get with a woman on the first date than take her seriously. I didn't want that, even if there was a prince in disguised among all the frogs, I didn't have the time to look for him; my career was my first and only love.
Until he came along. Him. Kintaro Oe, the 25 year old freeter that begged me to give him a job at my company (hysterically I might add).
I knew he wanted me, the way he always ogled me was proof enough. I'm not a misanthropist, I admit I may be a bit of a feminist, but I don't despise men for being men, I just hate the ones that act like perverted idiots who only wanted to be around a girl just to get in her pants, and Kintaro Oe was no exception, at least at first. I never was so happy and sad to be wrong.
For most of the time I knew him, I thought he was a perverted idiot, and I was right, or so I though. I didn't realize until after he was long gone just how...unbelievable he was. He wasn't all talk...he was the real thing.
He was much more than I ever imagine possible
He managed not only to recreate my entire software program in a WEEK, but IMPROVE tenfold in a way I never thought possible. It was hard to swallow, but his version was both easier and better than mine was, and so far it has been the most profitable, since not only my normal clients were impress, my American clients were so impressed they were offering to franchise my company. It was so surreal and unbelievable, Kintaro Oe, despite his mishaps and mistakes, managed to do better in one week, what I have been trying to do since I started this company: improve it.
And to top it all off, he did something else that only stumped me...
The chibi Kintaro message only said: "I learned a lot, thank you….."
That was it "thank you" no "I told you so bitch" or "I'm expecting pay in cash" or "you were wrong" or "you missed it big"
"Thank you"...was all he left me, before leaving to go Kami knows where...
He just left without a fight and acted as if I was the one that was right, when in reality it was reversed.
But that was just the icing on the cake of it all...
When the old couple came over asking where Kintaro Oe was, they revealed a different side of Kintaro I never knew he, nor anyone would ever had, and honestly, I'm not sure I would have done the same thing..
He just GAVE the 10,000 dollars I gave him, the whole 10 grand to them because they were in trouble and didn't expect anything in return...I...I never knew how anyone could be so...giving...so selfless
Another thing I didn't get was why he didn't tell me first when I interrogated him about it.
Did he think I wouldn't believe him? Thinking back I probably wouldn't. I could just imagine him saying: "I want a job here because I gave the 10,000 dollars away to an elderly couple that was having financial trouble", I can also imagine calling security to throw him out after he said that, because I wouldn't believe until I saw it with my own eyes. Only, I did see it with my own eyes, but it wasn't until he was gone. He just left. Just like that.
He left in such a hurry; he didn't even leave a forwarding address.
I then did the one thing I never imagined I'd ever do. I left work, I hoped in my car and drove away in an aimless direction all in hopes of catching up with Kintaro. I knew I was being ridiculous, I mean I didn't even know where to begin looking but I didn't care. The man who I treated like a frog was actually my prince in disguise, the one I thought I'd never have the time to look for, and I didn't care what anyone would say, Kintaro may have left my grasp for the moment, but not for long. I swore to myself then and there that there was still a chance. A chance to find Kintaro and make things right, but most importantly…there was a chance for me to be…happy.
For the last few weeks whenever I had a free minute I would try and look for Kintaro, I sometimes had to use some of my companies resources in order to get somewhere, maybe it was taking advantaged of my position and the company, but I didn't care, I wanted Kintaro. I wanted to find him and apologize to him for my cruel words, the harsh treatment, and I wanted to thank him for so much: For the software, for the kindness he showed those old folk, and for showing me that I was wrong about him and so much more, but whenever I found a place that mention having seen him, he was already long gone by the time I got there, leaving me there all annoyed, sad, frustrated and on my way back to the company to start this stupid routine all over again
I wanted Kintaro. I wanted to find him. I wanted to apologize. I wanted to thank him. I wanted to hold him. To kiss him...to love him...to suck hi-..
RRRRIIIIIINNNNGGG
I snapped back to reality as I noticed the phone was ringing...
"It's probably, just another client", I thought semi-bitterly, sighing I picked up the phone and did my usual routine
"Yes, TM Software", I said in my professional voice, not really interested in what client or order it was.
Just then I heard the one voice I never thought I hear again, one that froze me for a quarter of a micro-second
"Hello. Madam President, it's me Kintaro Oe..."was all she heard from the other line before…..
"KINTARO!"I exclaimed in joy, for the first time in weeks, feeling something other than guilt, bitterness, frustration and unhappiness. I felt happy.
"Oh god, you don't know how long I've looked for you!" I said giddily, my heart was fluttering and I was basically acting like some love sick school girl being asked on her first date, but I don't care, and I don't care if my employees were giving me WEIRD looks, all that mattered to me at this moment was Kintaro.
"What are you doing now?" I asked curiously to my soon to be former ex- employee, whatever job Kintaro might have now would pale in comparison to the proposition I had planned for him.
Executive software designer, a much better improvement than cleaning toilets, not only is it a much more profitable and respectable position, this time he'll get a salary and a good one too.
This time he'll not only have a salary, he'll have his own office, all the benefits I could think off giving him, as much vacation time as he deserves, and any perk he'd want.
If he'd feel interested I could help him pick out some nice real estate for a permanent residence, maybe I could invite him to stay...with me for as long as he wants...I don't care how scandalous that would seem. I could only imagine it now, me and Kintaro reunited, him embracing me in his arms as I thoroughly apologize and thank him for everything. My subline body pressed against his chest, my legs rubbing against his as I offer him the new job as executive software designer, him agreeing and we'd go to a nice restaurant to celebrate and then he'd walk me back to my pent house, I... I'd invite him in...Then we'd talk for a while, he'll tell me about his new experiences and I'd tell him how much I missed him...talking would lead to embracing...embracing would lead to kissing...kissing would lead to undressing-Oh I'm getting ahead of myself, I still need to break the ice with him.
"What CG?"...I asked and Kintaro the told me of what happened and how much he needed me right now.
"Uh-Huh! Animation?...I said
"Well, we don't specialize in computer graphics"...I trailed off melancholy...but I wasn't going to give up
"But, yes we could certainly animate wireframe models that could be outputted on to cells"...I said in a chipper voice, thrilled that soon I would see my love again.
"Oh thank you so much, you don't know how much this means to me Madam President, thank you, thank you!"...Kintari said in a truly greatful tone and I felt my heart flutter a bit.
" I'll be over as soon as I can to get them"...Kintaro said on the other line
"Yes, I'll be waiting, bye bye"… I said in a bubbly voice, it was so out of character of me, but I was just so happy. More happy, determined and vigorous than I've been for the last few weeks.
"Okay everybody, we have an emergency..." I shouted out as I proceed to order my employees around. Kintaro is really set on this animated movie and if he needs me, I will help him. I'll help him with every need he has.
First the movie, then I'll offer myself to Kintaro-I mean, offer him the job. Movie first, job second and then proceed to make Kintaro all mine, and nothing is going to stand in my way.
I didn't get where I am today by letting people get in the way of what I wanted. And right now I want Kintaro Oe to be mine and mine alone
Hiroko Tsuru, but after all this is over, it will be the Hiroko Oe.
A/N: Originally I was going to follow the same pattern as the anime/Ovas did, but then I decided that was too predictable so...
I will let you all decide which girl will appear next chapter, review and give your suggestion on who you want to see next chapter.
The candidates include: Naoko Katsida Ayuko Hayamizu, Noriko, Reiko Terayama and Chie.
I will decide the order based on your responses.
Stay tuned :)
