Chapter 6
-------------------------------------------
Hiiro sat in the restaurant and looked at his watch. They were late.
Well it didn't matter, he wasn't going to sell his company, he only
liked to see what things they had to offer him. But being kept waiting
was not his idea of fun.
He was about to go when he saw someone come in, a woman and she looked
out of breath. She stopped at the desk and then walked over in his
direction.
She stopped in front of him and smiled, she extended her arm.
"Hello, my name is Serena Tsukino and I am representing
'New World Electronics'"
Hiiro didn't take her hand and sat there staring at her.
Feeling uncomfortable she sat down in front of him.
"I'm sorry I'm late, I was only informed of this meeting a few moments
ago." Serena was burning inside. She knew why she'd been told so late,
it was all to do with her being cute and a brain dead bimbo.
They had only decided to sent her to this meeting as a last resort,
everyone said Hiiro Yui wouldn't sell, and she'd been sent as a pretty
face to seduce him, but she wasn't going to do it.
Still Hiiro didn't respond, but he didn't feel as annoyed as he had
been before. Wufei would probably grumble and say something about
'weak woman', but he was mildly amused. Her arriving late was annoying,
but when he looked at her he knew that she wasn't lying.
"Look, I know you're mad, but we're here to talk about this." she started
"My company wants to buy your bosses' company, but if you're not
going to speak to me I don't want to spend company money, on food,
that I won't like." She was really getting annoyed, she wasn't used
to people sitting there quietly and she'd had it at work.
Hiiro smirked, so she thought he was a representative, this could be
interesting. He wasn't going to sell, but he would have fun.
He knew why she had been sent, pretty face to tempt him into selling.
"What are your company's terms"
Serena wasn't prepared for this, she wasn't used to being direct and
she paused and she looked at him blankly.
"Do you even know" Hiiro smirked at her.
Serena flushed, she hated being treated like this. Sure she knew why
she'd been sent, but being treated like this.
"Look, I know why my company sent me, and I also know that your boss
is probably not going to sell, so I'm sure you won't mind me saying that
I am not some bimbo. I only wanted a job where I would be respected"
As Serena finished Hiiro noted that she looked sad. Her eyes, they
had a hidden depth to them that he hadn't seen when she came in.
Sure she was pretty, but in her eyes he saw that she had suffered. He
was about to say something when he remembered, everyone had suffered
with the war, and he wasn't one for comforting.
"Look I'm not going to sell".
Serena looked at him.
"YOU'RE not going to sell." Serena looked puzzled and looked blankly,
then it hit her and she changed, she sat up straight and blushed
noticeably. She'd just been rude to the man she was trying to get
to sell his company.
"Um, right, Mr Yui. I understand, but are you sure that there is
nothing that my company can offer you."
"No"
Now Serena was worried, she could lose her job over this, and she was
sure that no one at work would complain.
Hiiro got up and dropped some money on the table for his drink and
started to leave.
Serena had to say something now.
"Mr Yui, I'm, uh, sorry about the way I acted"
"No problem. I won't tell them at your job, in case you're worried."
Serena got up and followed him. Her shoulders slumped. God her life
was a mess. She had no friends, all of her friends had been killed.
She was all alone and she didn't know why she was here.
She walked out of the restaurant, her heart heavy and she trudged home.
But before she realised it, she was in the park.
She'd loved the park. She remembered going there with friends, the fun
she'd had, all the laughter, but they were all gone. She missed them all.
She slumped down on a bench and started to cry.
Where were they now?
"Why am I here? Why am I here?" she whimpered over and over to herself.
"I should have died, I should have stayed, I would have been free."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you"
Serena jumped and looked up. Sitting next to her was Hiiro Yui.
"You followed me" now scared, she started to move away.
"No, I live here and I saw you here".
"Oh, look, I'm sorry, you can just go home, I'll be fine."
Hiiro didn't move. He didn't know why he was sat there next to her.
But by sitting there next to her, he felt warm and safe, and he
couldn't leave her, she might do something stupid.
"Look, I know you're sorry, but you can go now." Serena told him.
Hiiro couldn't believe what he was about to say,
"I know you haven't had dinner, so come on, I'll get us something to
eat, perhaps something that you like."
Serena couldn't believe this guy, he just wouldn't leave her alone.
SO she just sat there and hoped that he would get the hint.
Hiiro smiled to himself as he saw her sat down silent, ignoring him.
It wasn't going to work. He wasn't going to leave her alone, he'd had
enough blood on his hands without having to feel guilty if she did
anything.
"It's not working. I'm not going until you get something to eat and
you cheer up"
"Come on then" Serena got up roughly and started walking. Hiiro got up
and followed her.
They walked side by side not talking and bit by bit Serena started to
calm down.
"Thankyou Mr Yui, I do appreciate it, but I can go home now. I'm OK."
"Not until you get something to eat. How does burgers sound to you"
"I'm not hungry", but as if on cue her stomach started to rumble.
"Not hungry" smirked Hiiro.
"OK, so burgers sounds great".
