A/N- Seems like a longer update this time! I had to mentally stop myself from beginning a third story! Well what can I say..I'm a helpless multi-tasker ^_^ Hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer- Don't own Mai Hime. Wish I did tho…


After hearing all of the grueling details that comes with this job, Natsuki decided that she did in fact want it. Although this is a multi-million dollar Japanese movie production agency, all of her main duties mostly involved picking up and dropping off the head of the company to various sets and escorting around to check on the progress. Not to mention this girl works here…

"So, I was very impressed with your resume' and now that I have asked and told you all about what you could be doing seeing your behavior I am not disappointed." Shizuru spoke professionally as she stacked some papers on her desk and pushed them to the side making sudden eye contact.

"Thank you" the blunette answered. Heck yeah, so do I get the job babe?

"But-" she began again. Aw crap what's this? "I understand the background check done by my assistant includes a bad accident on your record." The blunette flinched. It had been three years since she had her first and only bike accident. The memory of it still shook her to her core, not so much the physical injury as much as…what happened to cause it. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat before answering.

"Yeah, that was a bike accident from about three years ago, I…"

"You do not need to explain, I can see this is uncomfortable for you don't worry this does not affect your chances and I am glad you are okay." The crimson eyed woman interjected kindly. Natsuki cocked her head to the side slightly as something clicked in her mind.

"Ooh you worried about me Ms. Interviewer?" Natsuki leaned forward in her chair closer to the brunette's desk with a small grin. Shizuru's eyebrows slowly raised slightly as she let out a wide smirk which was quickly replaced by an innocent smile. "Ara does Natsuki want me to worry for her?" she teased leaning in a bit herself. The biker's face shaded into a light pink before she coughed it away, eyes widening a little.

Oh she's cute, teasing me backbut two can definitely play this game. "I don't know…do you want me to want you to?" she rose up off of her chair and rested on her arms on the desk in front of Shizuru. The smile of the brunette grew showing her acceptance to their little challenge.

"Do you want me to want you to want me to worry?" she bantered back playfully.

Well this just got very confusing. Comeback Kuga comeback! You're losing flavor here! "I-I-I don't know d-do I?" She stuttered. Smooth very smooth. She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the most heavenly sound in the world ring through her ears. Shizuru was laughing quietly to herself at the biker's last line. She's sooo beautiful! She can laugh at me all day…wait she's laughing at me?! Natsuki's face darkened at her sudden realization and choked out a pathetic response. "W-What? Why are you laughing?" Her blush had now finally subsided. Great. Well I lost. I'm never gonna get this girl…I should just sto-.

Her thoughts were interrupted as she felt a warm hand on her cheek, as she looked up to find the crimson-eyed goddess's face was mere inches from her own indicating that she had gotten up while the biker was in deep embarrassment. WHAT?! WHAT IS THIS? "S-Shizuru?!" the blunette raved the blush now returning to her cheeks from the contact and close proximity.

The hand now slid to the biker's chin cupping it softly. "Yes Na-tsu-ki?" She was now fully aware of the blunette's nervousness to her touch and it only made her tease more by carefully stroked her thumb on Natsuki's chin. OH. MY. GOD. "What are you d-doing?" The brunette chuckled again before leaning closer forward. As she did, Natsuki noticed that she could now see that sexy bra along with…well a 'couple' of other things but she dared not look too long for fear of being caught and slapped senseless.

Shizuru was now exactly two inches away from Natsuki and was still leaning in. IS SHE? SHE CAN'T BE! But it seems like she is

Without knowing Natsuki let out a whimper as she felt a sensation of a voice vibrating softly on her ear. Her face heated up to the temperature of the sun. "Ara, I was just wondering if Natsuki would keep flirting if I was a little…closer." She said as her voice tickled the tips of the biker's ear. Her heart dropped almost audibly as her thoughts came rushing to her all at once. S-She knew!? Ahhh I'm caught! I'm the worst player in the world when it comes to this...this…torturous crimson eyed woman…agh I'm so busted! How long has she known? The brunette snapped out of her haze of unbelief and quickly staggered away from the goddess's grasp and fell back into her seat with a loud thump.

The brunette chuckled again almost lifting to a new octave as she then placed a hand over her mouth gracefully to try to mute the sound from becoming too loud. The biker's face was now unrecognizably red with immense embarrassment as she tried to escape her mix of a mini heart attack, and giddiness of how sexy the crimson eyed woman before her laughed. The blunette found herself once again captivated at the chestnut haired heartthrob. Aww her laugh is so cuute and little and aww! Wait what the…what did I just say? Tell me I didn't just fangirl out right there…ooh that was not me, must be losing my cool again. Hit the switch Kuga! Hit the cool switch back on!

"You have a cute laugh." The blunette complimented with her suave signature Kuga lopsided grin as the laughs slowly tapered off. Then Boom. Instant eye contact. And just as the biker noticed a faint reddening on the brunette's face there was a knock on the door.

"C-Come in" Shizuru scrambled as she tried to straighten up her bewildered expression. Whoa she blushed! And stuttered! Maybe I do have a chance dating her! …Oh yeah and the bet too…

"Oh my apologies Shizuru-san, I didn't know you had company" said a smooth voice now entering the room.

"Oh, Reito-san! What a lovely surprise, what brings you here?" The brunette walked over and gave the stranger a warm hug. I feel a strange sense of Déjà vu herefor some reason. Natsuki turned to face the intruder, the man had a relatively tall stature, dark silk-like cut hair, dark brown ish eyes, and a smile the biker identified easily as the ladykiller smile. Who is this? She felt her chest tighten with the next words the man said. "I had just finished up an appointment and I realized I was just a couple blocks away, so I thought we could have lunch. But as I say that I see I am being very rude to your guest." The man had stopped and gestured towards me. Oh he means me? I looked back up at him as I noticed he was giving me a dashing smile. Ew, who are you anyways. The biker didn't even try to hide her obvious animosity towards the dark haired stranger as she shot him her best death glare. The man's smile just widened as he laughed heartily.

"Ouch, with such a glare im almost tempted to run away!" he mused. "Ara sorry, I seemed to have lost my manners Reito this is Natsuki Kuga" Shizuru stated with small gestures and a bright smile.

"Hello Kuga-san" Bye. He tried to signal for my hand, but I leaned back in my chair and shot him another go die glare but he only laughed again. This is really starting to piss me off! How is he still breathing after that last one! It's like he's oblivious! Kinda reminds me of-

Her thoughts were deferred yet again by a sweet Kyoto-ben.

"And Natsuki this is Reito, Fujino Reito" The brunette said now looking directly into the bikers eyes. Unfortunately the blunette's thoughts were working overtime trying to study the situation. Fujino… wait FUJINO? As in Fujino Shizuru!? Oh please no. Maybe I'm just over-thinking this! Yeah.

"F-Fujino a-as in?-" The biker asked desperately. Please no. Please no. Please no. No no no no..

"As in my husband." Shizuru walked over to the now grinning amusedly dark haired man, and placed a hand on his chest leaning to highlight her statement. Natsuki felt her heart drop all the way to her heels as she began to feel an intense dizziness, then, black.


She came to about 5 minutes later opening her eyes to see the dark haired man kneeling on her right side, his left arm supporting her weight keeping her at a slanted back angle. Huh? W-When did I… "Are you alright Kuga-san?" the man asked worryingly as he flashed her a toothy grin. Oh it's ew. "Gee Shizuru I think we went too far on poor Kuga-san."

"Kannin na Natsuki, I was only teasing you. This is my father's brother's eldest son who also carries the family name." The biker took a minute to process before answering. "So…you guys are COUSINS!?" she blurted out. "Hai Kuga-san and this would not be a joke her boyfriend Takeda-san would like." Reito added. Shizuru just laughed. WHEW! That was… it was...just whew! She's not married! She just has a boyfriend. Named Takedahmm. Natsuki thought as she pulled off of Reito's arm harshly.

"But on the bright side, you've got the job!" Shizuru said in a cheerful tone. What! "I-I do? When do I start?" the blunette replied in shock. "Right now if you don't mind, could you drive Reito and I to Carnelemu Café?" Shizuru asked sincerely, making eye contact with brimming emerald orbs. Well

"Ok"
