Stand By Me
The First Turn
"On another notice, The Chinese prime minister has requested for us to provide them economic assistance for their government in the next meeting with their new official governor…."
"Governor….Governor….."
"…."
"Hinata!"
Snapping to attention, I notice my assistant hissing at me to pay attention. His glasses (fake I presume) were starting to fall off with the intense spitting he was directing at me. Ignoring his death stare, I turned my attention to the expecting ministers. Quickly piercing together the information the foreign affair minister was saying while taking into consideration of the anxious atmosphere in the smoked filled room, I went with the most safest response.
"And do you think that technical assistance to the Chinese government will have benefits toward us and Japan?"
With that the foreign affair minister straightened up and once again started persuading the other important figures in the room about the pros of the situation. Seeing that majority of the ministers were nodding for this cause, I swiftly stood. All conversations ceased and seven pairs of eyes rested on me.
"Since 4 members of our elite cabinet are currently not present, I have no other choice but to come back to this case for an absolute majority. If there are no further objections, you are all dismissed" I said declaring it with a firm voice that was asking for someone to try to go against me. As I predicted, no one voiced any opposition towards this. With that I left my seat and swung the double doors open with my assistant quickly following behind me.
"You know, you should have at least said that more... nicer" With that comment I turned around and looked at my assistant for the first time since he interrupted my day dreaming in the council room. Unlike other assistance's and staff in the palace, Naruto was the only one who did not glance away when they saw my death stare.
"So, I'm supposed to act all sweet and nice to them, just because I'm a girl?" I asked in a tone which dared him to try to agree with this statement.
With that comment, Naruto looked shocked and hurt that I interpreted his statement that way. "You know I didn't mean that…." With a sigh, I apologised quietly under my breath. Chuckling, Naruto stepped closer to me until he was breathing the same air I was. "Sorry governor, I didn't quite hear that. Did the almighty Hinata just apologies to me?" With a sickly sweet smile I looked at him, then kicked him where it would hurt. With a groan he doubled over, onto his knees.
"You wish ba-ka" I said making sure I emphasised on the syllable "ba". Without another glance backwards, I started making my way to the elevator.
Click. Hearing the elevator open the reflective white doors, I immediately stepped in. With which I immediately regretted. It was always like this, ever since child hood. I will always run to when I was in my worst mood. However he was a valuable asset in the palace. He was well known for his manipulative personality, cunning ways and being unfathomably smart. He was the type of guy no one would ever want as an enemy. Smirking, I scratched that thought. He was the type of guy no one sane would want as an enemy. And right now, I couldn't really say I was in my right mind.
Putting on a smile I looked at him in the eye. "Hello, nice meeting you here…"
