Summary: This is an AU fic, where some characters may seem a bit OOC, or maybe a lot, I'm not sure. Kira is the sole heir to a multi-billion company and one day saw a girl he liked. He disguised as a normal worker in his own company to get to know her more.Oh yeah, the characters arearound 21, as i feel that 15 is too young to be in a working evironment.Be nice people! Only my second fic! On with the chappie!

'RING! RING!' Kira's cell phone blared. "So noisy…"Kira mumbled in his sleep and covered his ears with his pillow.

"Stupid Kira! Still sleeping at this hour." Cagalli grumbled.

Finally Kira couldn't stand the torture and answered his call. "Hello…"Kira answered in a sleep tone.

"Wake up pig head! What are you doing still sleeping at this hour?"

"What time is it?" Kira checked his alarm clock only to find out it's only 8am. "It's only 8 in the morning Cagalli. I worked till late last night and I need some rest after all."

"Whatever. Don't you have a meeting with Athrun later? He's been asking me non-stop where you are and why you're not answering his calls. I guessed as much you were sleeping."

"Oh. It slipped my mind. Okay, I'll go get changed now and tell him that I'll be a bit late."

Kira groggily got up from his bed and changed. Kira is the sole heir of a multi-billion company, Yamato Corp., which specializes in research in the bio-medical field, and Operating System for Smart Technologies. His parents died in an air crash while he was still a toddler. He has been raised by his uncle, Uzumi Nara Atha. Uzumi has also took the reins of the company until Kira turns 21, where sole ownership will be given to him. Kira and Cagalli are close cousins.

Now at 21, Kira is ready to take on the responsibility of taking charge of the company. He lives with Uzumi and Cagalli in his parents' lavish mansion in the northern suburbs of Onogoro, the capital of Orb. Yet despite all the wealth surrounding him, Kira fortunately did not turn out to be a spoilt kid, and had a sense of independence rooted within him. He certainly has been well raised by Uzumi.

Kira changed into his business suit and went down to the kitchen to drink some juice before leaving the house.

"Are you skipping breakfast again Kira?" Julie, a housekeeper working in the mansion asked Kira, as he's taking a sip of his orange juice. She's well into her fifties and has been in the household even before Kira was borne.

"Um, yeah. I'll just get a grab from a drive-through. I'm already late for a meeting with Athrun."

Kira hopped onto his Porsche and proceeded to his meeting place with Athrun.

"Mr. Athrun, Mr. Kira has arrived. Shall I let him in?"

"Yes, Thank you Marlene" Atrhun replied his secretary over the office phone.

Kira knocked softly on the door before entering it.

"I can see why you're still without any girlfriend Kira. And I thought only girls take hours to dress up, except for Cagalli that is." Athrun grinned.

"Give me a break Athrun. Its not my fault that it's so hard to find a girl who's more interested in the contents of my wallet than me"

"I feel for you all right. But it still doesn't make a valid reason for you to forget our meeting"

"Sorry Athrun, I was working late last night. Now I know how tough it is to manage such a big company. I wonder how Uncle Uzumi managed to do it these past 20 years, and made it even more prosperous."

"Relax Kira, slowly as time pass by you'll also learn the secrets of the trade. Now which you wanna do first? Let me explain about the new OS or just have a man to man talk?"

"Man to man talk? What's that have anything to do with the company?"

"Now you're turning into a true blue business man Kira. Come on Kira, lighten up. What I want to talk about is that you're already 21, and you don't have a partner. Why'd you to dump all those fans of yours back at high school."

"I'm not the least bit interested in those girls, who only care about money and their looks. What I want is a person who's interested n my personality rather than my wealth or my looks."

"You're just being picky Kira. Face it Kira, this present age day the chances of finding that person is a thousand to one."

"This is my future we're talking about Athrun. I'm not shallow and I don't want to have a widow fighting over my fortune on court in the future. And since when have you become an expert in this? The only person you've ever gone out with is my cousin"

"Ah! Cagalli and me are an exception. When I first saw her in high school, it's like I have a feeling that we're going to be together. It's like men's intuition"

"Men's intuition? Is there such a thing?"

"You'll know it when it strikes you Kira."

"You and your weird fantasies. But thanks to you, Cagalli is more feminine since she's with you"

"I assume that's a compliment"

"Oh! It sure is." Kira grinned.

"Back to the OS then. I don't want to miss my lunch date with Cagalli or she'll murder me, telling that I like her cousin more than her."

"That's why the two of you make such a good couple!"

Kira and Athrun were buddies during their high school, and Athrun and Cagalli was a couple since high school. Kira knew of Athrun's passion towards robotics, and his natural intelligence in this field made Kira chose Athrun to be the head of Yamato Corp. Smart Technologies department. Uzumi also consented to the idea saw credible leadership qualities in him. Uzumi also consented Athrun going out with Cagalli agreeing with Kira that Cagalli has become more 'feminine'.

Athrun accompanied Kira down to the lobby.

"So I shall make the necessary amendments later on, so see you some other time Kira."

Kira spaced out as he caught a glimpse of the most beautiful girl he ever saw, waiting for the elevator with her female friend. Soft pink lips, curving up to form a delicate smile, eyes sparkling in delight, long silky pink hair, all these forming an aura of dazzling beauty yet a mix of innocence. Kira was mesmerized by her beauty and aura and all he could do was hang his mouth open. 'Even a goddess would be jealous of her beauty. Is this man's intuition?' Kira thought to himself.

"Kira? Earth to Kira?" Athrun asked him twice before waving his hands across Kira's face, snapping him out of his trance.

"Hey Athrun look over there, by the elevator! I feel the man's intuition thing you told me about"

"What!" Athrun turned to look at what Kira was mentioning about and saw a glimpse of the two girls as they made their way into the elevator. "Kira, there is no such thing as man's intuition. I've been telling you crap and you believed me."

"I do feel it Athrun! Athrun, which department is level 23?"

"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken that should be the marketing department. Marketing department lets see… Oh yeah! I did saw them once when I went there for a meeting some time ago."

"Don't you know them or their names? What's her personality like? Is she sweet or caring maybe?" Kira getting excited to know more about the girl.

"Hey, what do you think I am. A playboy or something? If Cagalli were to find out I chased after skirts behind her back, she'll scratch both my eyes out man!"

"I feel that she's the one Athrun! But I want to know her more and see if she's the kind of girl I've been waiting for, a girl not interested in money but rather in personality"

"Face it Kira, from the moment you reveal your name, that's when all the girls change their attitude towards you."

"But I need to know her personality. And I feel that if I don't do anything, I might miss out on a very special person, whom I will never get a chance to meet again."

"Well you could always go up there and talk to her."

Then Kira had an idea based on what Athrun said. "Hey, what if I disguise myself as just an ordinary worker in that department. That way I can get to know her better and see if she's interested in my personality without my wealth."

Athrun was surprised at Kira's Idea. "Well, if you'd really want to do that, then I'll have no objections old buddy. You must understand one thing though, a girl's heart can be easily broken. If she found out that you lied to her, then you'd might lose her. By that time, it might be too late."

"We'll worry about that later shall we Athrun"

"Well, you certainly need to change your image Kira. A normal person doesn't wear an Armani suit to work you know. Try to wear some less well known brands. And try not to stuff your wallet with too much cash"

"Oh okay. So how much should I bring then?"

"Kira, you really are a dumb ass. It'll take a miracle for you to be like a normal person."

"Oh okay then. I shall wear some normal clothes then. So you'll 'formally' introduce me as a staff in that department. And try to let me have a table beside her or something. It makes it easier for me to chat, or even look at her"

"You're turning into a pervert Kira, or maybe even a stalker"

"No I'm not! I'm just ah... interested in her that's all"

"And one more thing Kira. A normal guy doesn't drive a Porsche to work."

"Oh, I'll get a different car later on. But I love driving that baby. Feeling the wind rushing against your skin."

"Hey. Do you want this to work or not?

"Okay okay, I get the point. And try not to let anyone know, this be our little secret, I do want to check up my staff once in a while. Call it 'personal inspection'. And of course I need yours and Cagalli's help running the company while I'm away on 'inspection' you know."

"Whatever you need buddy. Well I need to go soon or Cagalli's gonna murder me."

"Oh okay then, try to explain my idea to Cagalli for me okay. It's easier for you to explain to her on my behalf."

Athrun and Cagalli are at restaurant eating lunch.

"WHAT! Kira is gonna disguise himself as a normal guy just to get to know a girl?" Cagalli cried in disbelief.

"Yeah, that's about it. Who'd ever thought that Kira would get serious over a girl"

"Yeah, that cousin of mine didn't take any heed of the girls who were swooning over him back at high school. And now this! What a miracle! And I thought he was a gay!"

"Well, we can help him though. I'll take care of the logistics and stuff while you take care of the main office. Luckily your father has postponed his retirement, or there'll be even more workloads for us."

"Does that dumb ass really know how to win over a girl's heart? I don't think he has any clue whatsoever"

"Well, we'll see how it goes. Wanna bet whether Kira's gonna make it?"

"50 bucks on Kira winning!"

"100 on Kira as well."

"Hey, no fair. This ain't a bet at all."

"All is fair in love and war, sweetie-pie" Athrun tracing his fingers across Cagalli's lips.

Cagalli felt the blood rush to her face. "When you've become this bold Athrun?"

"For you Cagalli, I'll always be" Athrun smiled and kissed Cagalli on her forehead.

Athrun had made all the necessary preparations. He even made some changes in the office of the marketing department so as Kira could get a table next to the girl. The staff was rather surprised to see Athrun, suddenly out of the blue change the plans of the office, and added another table to the department. Athrun is a high level personnel of the company, and when some questioned his intentions, he just replied them that there will be a new staff joining them soon, very soon.

Them moment has arrived, Kira and Athrun are now outside the department making some final checks, and making sure this little cover up doesn't get blown.

"Relax Kira. Just be your normal self. You're the one who insisted on this idea anyway."

"Thanks Athrun, your part is done, and now it's my turn"

"Good, I can see you're all prepared. And where'd you got that car from?"

"I saw it from second hand dealer and thought that a second hand car would be more fitting."

"Okay… and one more caution though…"

"Yeah? What about?"

"It's regarding the manager of the department."

"What about him?"

"Unfortunately, it's a her"

"What's wrong about a female manager? You're a sexist or something?"

"It's not a problem of gender Kira. The manager, she's a tough slave driver."

"It's that bad? And why didn't you brought this up during the last general meeting?"

"It's not a very big problem though. And furthermore, she brings in desirable results. We can't just advice her over something so trivial. It's the results that counts right?"

"…"

"And Kira, call me Mr. Athrun."

"What!"

"We can't be on personal terms anymore, or it will raise suspicions. I am a member of the Board after all."

"Okay I get the point. Let's just go in okay. I can't wait to see her."

"You are now Kira Hibiki, you cannot use your real name anymore. All the documents have been edited to suit your fake name."

"Okay, Kira Hibiki…" Kira making sure he doesn't forget his 'new' name.

Athrun called his secretary using his cell phone.

"Hello Marlene?"

"Yes Mr. Athrun? What I can do for you?"

"Could you call Ms. Alstar of the marketing department to come out of her office. I'm coming in to their department in a minute's time to introduce a new employee for the marketing department."

"Is that all, Mr. Athrun?"

"Yes, Thank you Marlene" With that, Athrun ended his call.

Kira and Athrun waited a brief moment before entering the department. Every staff member stopped their respective tasks to look at the guests. They were again surprised to see Athrun visiting their department again, this time with another person accompanying him. Luckily for Kira, nobody knew of his real identity, or his plan would be over in a matter of minutes.

The office is rather spacious, considering there were not many workers in the department. The staff's working tables are clumped together in the middle of the office, open workstations without having any walls separating them. Fllay's personal office as at the end of the department, a wall of semi see through glass covering the frame of her office.

Fllay Alstar, the manager of the marketing department has already waited outside her office waiting for the arrival of Mr. Athrun and the new employee. Athrun and Kira approached Fllay and Athrun introduced Kira to the staff of the marketing department.

"I'm sure you people know who I am, considering I was also here yesterday. Today, I would like to introduce to you a new member of the marketing department. He is Kira Hibiki."

Kira bowed to the people in the department. Athrun directed him to the empty workstation, beside the girl's.

"Ms…?" Athrun asked the girl.

"Clyne, Lacus Clyne." Lacus surprised as to why Athrun would be asking her name.

'So, her name is Lacus Clyne. What a sweet name.' Kira thought to himself while trying to get himself familiar to his new workstation. Little did her know that the other staffs were staring at him, trying to analyze him.

"Oh Ms. Clyne, since you're beside him, would you mind being his guide, helping him get familiar to his new work environment?"

"Oh, I don't mind at all. In fact, I'd be more than happy." Lacus smiled, having a new member joining them.

"So. I shall make my leave now. And Kira, if you have any problems, you could always ask the other staff and the manager."

"Yes, Mr. Athrun" Kira unconsciously stressing on the 'Mr.' part. Athrun then left the department and resumed his normal daily work, leaving Kira to his new environment.

"Mr. Hibiki, I am Lacus Clyne. But just call me Lacus. If you have any problems or questions, don't hesitate to ask me, and I'll try to help you in any way I can." Lacus smiled, starting the conversation with Kira.

"Oh, Thank you. Just Kira would do fine."

"Okay Kira. I shall now introduce to the staff of this department."

Kira was at the most right of his row. To his left is Lacus and in front of him is Dearkka Elsman, a tan guy with blonde hairdo. Dearkka just grinned when being introduced. To Dearkka's right, is Miriallia Haww, the other girl he saw that day. She has short hair, up to her shoulders and a sweet smile.

"Hi, I'm Miriallia Haww. Everyone calls me Miri." Miriallia smiled when introduced.

Sitting to the right of Miriallia is Sai Argyle. A serious looking guy wearing specs. When introduced, he just pushed his specs with his finger and just nodded to Kira. Opposite him and to the left of Lacus is Yzak Joule. Another serious guy, with silver hair and a small scar on his right cheek. He didn't even look up when being introduced and Kira didn't want to know how he 'received' the scar. Over at the photocopying machine, apparently doing his task is Kazui. A slight chubby guy, but slightly friendlier than the others as Kira wondered. Kazui is the errand guy of the department.

'What a hostile environment…' Kira thought to himself.

Last but not least is the manager, Fllay Alstar, a red head with long hair, and an attitude to back. Kira knew of her from Athrun and is planning to know how she runs the department for himself. She is in the office so Kira didn't get a chance to get a closer look at her.

"So, that's about it Kira"

"Oh…"

"Oh, don't worry about it too much Kira. They're all friendly people to work with, it's just that it'll take some time for them to get used to new people." Lacus smiled, her smile enlightening Kira's day.

"Okay…" Just as Kira was about to sit down and get himself familiar with his workstation and sorting out his stuff, Fllay's office door boomed open and Fllay shouted to Kira: 'KIRA! get your butt in my office right now!'

'So much for pleasantries…' Kira thought to himself as he made his way to Fllay's office while earning a sympathetic smile from Lacus.

Kira knocked on the door softly before proceeding in. Kira usually wouldn't care too much about his kind of meetings, but this time he had to act like as if he was a newcomer and had to act feeling both nervous and afraid.

Fllay was reading Kira's documents and as Kira was about to pull out the chair and sit, Fllay abruptly stopped him.

"Who told you to sit?"

Kira was speechless and mumbled something Fllay can't quite comprehend.

"Fine, Sit!"

Kira was a bit annoyed this time. 'Grr… if only I could strangle her! Just you wait, when this is over I'll personally make sure you'll get 'promoted' to a janitor.' Kira smirk evilly to himself.

"I don't know what's your relation with Mr. Athrun and why he'd recommend you of all people, but one thing for sure is that you are now working in this department, and I expect you to do your best, sometimes even more than your best. You get this clear Kira?" Fllay eyeing Kira while talking in a demanding tone.

"Yes I understand Ms. Alstar. I shall carry out my duties to the fullest of my abilities."

"Okay then, for starters I shall give you some simple work to do. Get it started on this right away." Fllay giving out to Kira some files for him to complete.

'Simple huh… this is tedious, simple yes but it'll take days to complete. What is she? Manager from hell?' Kira thought to himself as he exited Fllay's office.

"I can see she gave you the 'beginners practice'." Lacus smiled to Kira as he plopped himself down on his chair.

"Yeah, I guess so. Does everyone do this on their first day?"

"Yeah, I'm not having much work though. Want me to help you out with that?" Lacus asked Kira, worried that he might not handle the big workload.

"No, I think I can handle this. Don't want to trouble you, especially on my first day." Kira blushed, since Lacus was so close to him and their shoulders are nearly grazing.

"Oh its no trouble at all…" Lacus smiled, helping herself to the files.

"Hey new boy!" Dearkka calling out to Kira.

"Huh? Me?"

"Yeah you! Kira was it. Got a minute?"

"Yeah. I guess so. What is it?"

"So why does Mr. Athrun personally recommend you? You a hot-shot or something?"

Kira fumbled at Dearkka's question and tried to give a reason that he could think of. "Well… I was from uh… the other marketing department and Mr. Athrun saw me and was interested in me and recommended me here. I'm also not sure what he saw in me. I've no special talents or something…" Kira felt his sweat dropped. -

"Well, you sure? It's not everyday that we see Mr. Athrun coming down here to introduce someone"

"Well maybe… he's here to replace you Dearkka, since you're such a lazy ass" Miri quipped, teasing Dearkka.

"Hey! I'm a very valuable team member you know!" Dearkka defended himself. "I'm the star here!"

"Yeah right Dearkka. Moon maybe, or is that the size of your ego?" Miriallia again teased him.

Lacus giggled childishly, and this of course went noticed by Kira, who saw the childish side of Lacus, and was even more attracted to her. 'Oh! How cute! She has a childish side to her! Oooh! How I want wiggle her nose!' Kira again in his own world, oblivious of what's happening around him. 'This may be a fun excursion after all' Kira smiled to himself.

Well? How'd you guys find it? Comments and reviews are welcome! Until next update!
