Hello I'm back with another story which popped into my head not so long ago. Hopefully it will be as
much appreciated as my previous ones. This fic is set in modern time in an alternative universe.
Enjoy!

There is a shady bar in the corner of the city of Fuuka. Normally such a bar would not attract any
specific or huge attention. To many others this bar is still unknown. However to us this bar marks the
starting point of a story. This story was told to an end. But whether a story ends or continues is in
the hands of fate. And fate was not finished with these two tortured souls.
--
Inside the bar there were suspicious people celebrating for different reasons. Everybody, except
one... or two, one of them is a raven-haired woman. Dressed in a simple pair of black pants together
with a white shirt and a loosened tie, you would describe her as extremely handsome in a very feminine
way. She was accompanied by a pretty orange-haired woman. At first sight these two would easily be
mistaken as a couple however the raven-haired expression of despair said otherwise. It was supposed to
be a happy moment.
-"Natsuki, stop drinking! You've had enough already."
The orange-hair attempted to take the beer away, only to be stopped by the dark-haired, the one called
Natsuki.
-"Please... please Mai. Just for now. Just let me be pathetic and... weak tonight".
-"But..."
-"No, tomorrow I'll listen to you. Tomorrow I'll stand up and be strong. Just let me be tonight.
Okay?"
Knowing the fact that nothing else could be said or done, Mai let her friend try to drink away her
sorrow. She knew that it would not help, but what else could she do otherwise?
-"Are you sure that you'll take that job offer Natsuki? It's very dangerous and in worst case scenario it
could kill you!"
Natsuki chuckled, a bitter laugh.
"What about-"
"Don't say it! I had something. But not anymore... I've got nothing left to lose".

3 Years later
--
A dark-haired woman was standing outside the Headquarters of the successful company. This company had
in merely 2 years grown from a little store to be one of Japans most famous ones. Though standing in
front of such a gigantic and prestigious building this dark-haired seemed unfazed. Being one of the
best bodyguards you could ever find this was not something new to her. People were willing to pay big
sums to hire her, for what was more important than your own lives? At least most other people thought
so. Today she was here for an assignment given to her and her boss constantly reminding her that this
was the one with highest priority. Not very pleased with the fact she was forced to wear formal
clothes to work and puzzled to why she had to go through this formal presentation by going to get
introduced. Normally people would tell her a location and she would go there and that was it. The
clients could care less for her name but more concerned over her ability to manage her job in a most
successful way. Dressed in a pair of black pants, white shirt with her collar straighten upwards to
keep some of her "wild" style and a black jacket currently hanging over her arm for the intense heat
on this wonderful summer day. Being told before that her emotions easily showed through her eyes she
even wore a black pair of sunglasses to cover them, not liking when people knew her honest opinions
about them and most of the times her opinions were not required to fulfil her job. This of course were
perfect for she was not a very talkative person and hated people invading her personal space, or she
did from that day on and until today she still did. Around her neck she wore a pair of golden rings.
No one really knew why. However it later became her trademark sign. Rumors were started. Some said it
was her parents' wedding rings and she carries them as a memory. Others, mostly females, claimed she
waited for the right one and even went as far as it being themselves it was just that she did not know
of it herself. The real reason was remained a mystery.
--
She went inside the building and was met with at least ten pair of eyes and somehow they all belonged
to females. Scanning the crowd she never found a single male in sight. Finding it quite puzzling she
shrugged it of and decided to simply ignore it, for now. Heading forwards the receptionist she was
greeted by a shy pair of eyes and a blush.
- "Um... Eh... can... can I help you?"
Twisting and turning while fumbling with her fingers the receptionist stuttered.
- "Yeah, I have an appointment with your boss. Can you show me his office?"
- "Oh... yes... of course but it's her."
- "Wh-What?!" (That damned Chie. She never mentioned it was a woman!)
- "Yeah, just show me the way."
Natsuki was getting annoyed for the fact that no one notified her about her client being a woman but
the receptionist seemed to not have noticed the sudden change. The receptionist was still in her dream
world. Quietly escorting, while sneaking glances at the mysterious raven-haired, Natsuki was
accompanied towards an elevator. Still obvious to the reactions she was causing amongst the many
females she soon entered the elevator which swiftly took her to the 48th floor, the top floor. When
the elevator door opened, a sudden light blinded Natsuki. After a while when she got used to the
brightness she could see a room. The walls were made of glass which made it possible to see the whole
city from up here. The floor is entirely in red carpet, in the middle there is a small fountain
surrounded with flowers. It gives the room a peaceful aura. On the far other side of the room,
opposite of where you enter there is a giant double-door. On each side there are two black-dressed men
guarding the door. Not very fitting the peaceful room. But then again Natsuki did not blend in either.
(What the hell am I here for if there already are two giants guarding?)
Heading for the office door Natsuki proceeded only to be stopped by one of the guards.
-"Stop, state your name and business."
Calmly merely standing there she waited for the guards to discover her identity. As if sensing the
guard saw the two rings and immediately cracked up a smile.
-"Oh! So this is the famous Kuga? But you're so tiny, and pretty cute."
A vein popped up followed by several others showing Natsuki's currently not-so-calmed mind. And the
big guy, currently in big trouble without being aware of it. He did the one thing you never under any
circumstances do, he tried to touch Natsuki or more precisely cup her chin. Before even reaching it
Natsuki grabbed hold of his wrist and tossed him over her head. The supposedly "big guy" landed on
his back and may I say it looked like it hurt, a lot. Shock was over the other guards face along with
fear and respect.
-"First of all, don't touch me. Second, it's Kuga-san for you."
One whimpering in pain while the other kept bowing and saying "Kuga-sama forgive our rudeness".
Getting both tired and annoyed Natsuki entered the office with a sigh, hoping for the day to end soon.
But when she opened the door she was met by a pair of female eyes again. However these pair of eyes
was special. They used to bring her happiness and now all it could provide her with was pain and
anger. Confusion was in them which reflected her own. Anger flared up in Natsuki's eyes and hurt were
in her heart but most of all she felt fear. An emotion she though was long gone. Not liking the
thought that even though it has been three long years and yet this woman still had the same effect on
her. In a low and somewhat controlled voice Natsuki finally voiced her question.
-"What the hell are you doing here?"

Well kind of a short sneak peak on what this story is about. I'm already working on the second chapter and there is a chance it will be posted sooner if I receive some encouragement .
Thank you for reading!
