Lucarly: Sorry I haven't updated in like an eternity. My excuse: school.

Aki: Yeah, whatever.

Lucarly: It's the truth!

Aki: Uh huh...Lucarly does not own Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's

Lucarly: There's a storm coming Aki, you can bet on it... -insert psychotic laughter-

Oyasumi Nasai - Chapter 10

Naomi tapped her finger impatiently on the reception desk, the phone pressed against her ear roughly.

Pick up the phone...Pick up the phone...Just pick up the damn phone-

"Yeah? Who is is?" finally said an irritatingly bubbly, female voice from the other side of line.

Naomi sighed angrily.

Damn...It's that Mizu-girl who picked up.

"Good afternoon, I require to speak to Jack Atlas." said Naomi, faking a happy tone of voice.

"Who's asking?" said Mizu, suddenly becoming defensive.

"Naomi, from the front desk."

"Oh, well in that case, he's not here." said Mizu before hanging up the phone.

Naomi heard the tone of the telephone drop, and clinked in surprise. Upon realizing what happened - she swore loudly to herself, then dialed the number again

"What?" said Mizu, picking up the phone again.

"Mizu, right? I need to speak with Jack."

"No you don't." said Mizu, becoming defensive once again.

"Uh...Yeah I do."

"He's not here."

"Yes he is - Where else would be?"

"He's not here." repeated Mizu

"Yes he is."

"No he's not."

"Yes he is."

"No he's not."

"Yes he-" said Naomi before being cut off again.

"HE'S NOT HERE DAMMIT!" screamed Mizu, and slammed the phone down on the hook.

Naomi flinched at the loud scream, but redialed the phone number anyway.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT!" screamed Mizu, picking up the phone, yet again.

"I NEED TO SPEAK TO JACK!"

"I ALREADY TOLD YOU, HE'S NOT HERE!"

"GIVE THE DAMN PHONE TO JACK!"

"NO!" screeched Mizu, hanging up for the third time.

Naomi huffed angrily and stood up, going over to elevator.

I guess I'll have to do this by person - even if it means leaving my post and risking this awful job.

Naomi stepped in the elevator and pressed the 18th button. The elevator quickly rose to the desired floor.

Naomi briskly walked outside and down the hallway until she reached Jack Atlas's quarters. She quickly slipped inside, silently praying Mizu wasn't in there.

And thank God, she wasn't.

Naomi sighed, relieved. She glanced around, hoping that Jack was in the room.

He wasn't either.

Naomi sighed and rubbed her temples in irritation.

I really don't need this right now.

Still, Naomi ventured inside in hopes of finding and talking to Jack. Poor Mikage neede-

"Do I know you?" said a gruff voice from behind Naomi that without belonged to the one and only...

Jack Atlas.

Naomi jumped slightly in surprise but turned to face him.

"Watashi no namae wa Naomi desu, I'm the receptionist downstairs."

"Never heard of you." said Jack rudely.

"Doesn't matter - I'm here on behalf of Mikage."

Jack's eyes widened slightly in surprise upon hearing her name.

"Mikage? Did something happen to her?" Jack sounding sincerely concerned.

"Yes, actually. She was here earlier, but I think your new assistant scared her off - and when I say "scared her off", I mean forced her the leave the building while crying. So, I think you should probably go see her - I'm assuming whats-her-face-new-assistant said some hard lies to her. And knowing Mikage, she believed them."

Jack's eyes narrowed.

"Mizu...Bitch."

"My thoughts exactly."

"Who are you again?"

"Naomi."

"How can I repay you?"

Naomi was taken aback - she had not expected to be given any sort of reward for giving Jack a tip of information.

"Just...Please try to get the director to re-hire Mikage. This place is an absolute hell hole without her."

"I know - thanks for the information." said Jack before turning around and angrily storming off to find Mizu.

Naomi smirked and flipped her hair.

"My work here is done."

"MIZU! Where the hell is she?" muttered Jack, who had been wandering the office and calling her name for the past ten minutes.

And he was yet to get a response fro-

"Oh Atlas-sama! You called?" cooed Mizu, waltzing into the room.

Nevermind.

"Yes - where have you been?" demanded Jack.

"I was speaking with the director."

"Did he fire you?" asked Jack, sounding a bit hopeful.

"No - he gave me a raise."

"Damn."

"You're so meeaaan." pouted Mizu.

Jack rolled his eyes, and cursed under his breath.

"What did you do to Mikage?"

Mizu was taken aback, and remained silent for a moment.

"Pardon?"

"Naomi said that she was her earlier - and she left crying."

"Oh, well...I just told her the truth."

"What truth?"

"That you don't care about her at all and that you and I have something special." said Mizu, flirtatiously.

"...You did what?"

"I said I-"

"YOU DON'T GET IT DO YOU?" yelled Jack, letting out laugh that sounded rather psychotic, "I'm in lovewith Mikage, and you can't change that! You're just a whiny, desperate, selfish, little slut."

Mizu gasped at his harsh words, tears forming in her eyes.

Jack pursed his lips in annoyance, and turned away, leaving the room - to go see Mikage.

But as he made his way down the hallway, he was stopped by an annoying high-pitched, male voice from behind him:

"Atlas-sama? The director would like to see you and speak to you of renovation matters for the duel stadium."

Jack sighed angrily and turned to face the speaker, Jeager.

"Can it wait?"

"Iie - he sent me to get you immediately. You know how impatient when it comes to meetings." said Jeager.

"Yeah - I know." said Jack, defeated, and following Jeager into the director's office.

No matter how much he hated it - Mikage would have to wait, for now.
