"Did you get the pictures together?" Jano Kari asked.
"Yes, here they are!" Sonoko said finally getting a little packet out of her bag. She gave them to Michiru who scanned them along with her report.
"Ok, that's good." Kari replied as she watched Michiru scan the pictures. She had short brown hair, and gray eyes. She was not much older than Michiru.
"You guys made it in the deadline," she commented, "at least now I will have time to edit it."
"It wasn't that hard." Michiru smiled.
"Yeah, except for getting an appointment with miss-stuck-up-celebrity." Kari laughed. Michiru shook her head smiling at Sonoko's comment. Two other reporters walked in talking to each other.
"Hi, Kaiou-san!" one of them said and Michiru smiled at him. He blushed.
"Ooh!" Sonoko said, "Looks like you are getting fans."
"Yeah, yeah, go away!" Michiru told her trying to scan the photos successfully.
"Fine!" Sonoko said in a mock pout, "I'll go see what Koruko-san is doing." She left and Michiru was left alone with Kari. There were other people in the office as well, but they were all busy trying to make into the deadlines.
"So do you know what our next assignment going to be?" Michiru asked Kari.
"Well, the company's annual ball is coming." Kari said, "Maybe you two will be assigned to it."
"What annual ball?" she asked.
"Well, ever since the company was opened, Tenou-san's father held a ball every year to keep economic relations stable." she explained, "Even after he died, we kept the little tradition up. Two people get chosen every year to cover the ball. We all had our chance but you two didn't, so maybe you will get chosen for it."
"Oh," Michiru said, her hand stopped on the machine.
"Um, are you going to scan that last photo or not?" Kari asked and Michiru looked down and resumed scanning it.
*************************************************************
"Koruko-san!" Sonoko looked into his office, "Hi!"
"Evening." He replied reading a letter. He muttered as he went through a pile of stuff.
"Want help?" she asked.
"Um, could you take this to Haruka-chan?" he asked showing her the pile, "Tell her we need approval."
"Why do you need her approval?" Sonoko asked picking up the letters, "She has boring taste anyway!"
"Just take them!" Koruko snapped.
"What are they for?" she asked looking down at them. They were invitations of some kind, grayish blue color paper, with gold writing on it. It had blue envelopes underneath.
"For the ball." Koruko said.
"What ball?" Sonoko asked.
"Tell you later," he said reading a paper of some kind again, "Just take them right now." Sonoko picked up the pile. It wasn't so big. She carried it to the door of Haruka's office and kicked the door open. Haruka looked up baffled at the bang she had made. Then she winced.
"I should have known." She said to herself as Sonoko walked in.
"Koruko-san said these need your approval." She said putting the pile on her desk.
"Thanks," Haruka replied curtly, hoping that Sonoko would leave.
"So what is this ball?" she asked not taking the hint.
"The annual ball of the company!" Haruka said scribbling stuff onto a piece of paper.
"You need help?" she asked.
"It would help if you leave." Haruka replied harshly.
"Sorry," Sonoko said, "I was just trying to help." She slipped out and went down to see Michiru in the editor's lounge, but only found Kari going over their work. She took out her cell phone and called Jeriko.
"Hi, baby!" she heard Jeriko voice, "Where are you?"
"At work," she said, "I have nothing to do right now. Where are you?"
"I am down at the racetrack garage." He said, "There was some trouble at the racetrack so they called me."
"What kind of trouble?" she asked. She knew her boyfriend loved getting into a car. She did as well but this was not often.
"Oh, some car got thrown off the racetrack and then wouldn't start anymore." He replied, "The normal mechanic had to go somewhere so they called me. But you have to see this car! It's so beautiful!"
"Really?" she asked, "Tell me how it looks."
"Well, the one I am working on is not the one I am talking about." He said, "There is this other car at the garage. They said they wanted to sell it to someone who would use it after the driver left racing, but the driver didn't want to sell it. It's just sitting there. It says...hey! Wait a minute! You work at the Tenou corps, right?"
"Yeah?" Sonoko replied.
"Well, this one says Tenou on it," He replied, "Maybe it's related to someone at your place."
"Oh, it must be my boss's." she replied, "Former racecar driver."
"Former? Why former?"
"I don't know." She saw Michiru enter the office.
"Sonoko!" Michiru started, "why are you..."
"I gotta go, ok?" she said into the cell phone then blew a kiss into it before hanging up.
"Well?" Sonoko asked, "Where did you go?"
"Tenou-san called me." Michiru said, then handed her a little poster, "We are covering the ball."
*************************************************************
"Can I please?" Sonoko begged Koruko.
"But you will be there as a photographer." He told her.
"Jeriko is my assistant. I can't take pictures without him!" she said, "Please! It's a ball! We should have dates!"
"I don't have a date." Koruko said, "neither does Michiru-san or Haruka- chan."
"Well because all of you are boring old coots." Sonoko replied rolling her eyes, "I need a date. I promise I will work but please let me bring him."
"Ok, then." Koruko sighed. Sonoko beamed and reached for her cell phone.
*************************************************************
"I don't like this ball very much and you know it." Haruka told Koruko who was in a dark blue tux. She was also wearing a tux only it was black.
"You get a lot of attention," Koruko shrugged, "I don't see what is so bad about it."
"Lot of unwanted attention." Haruka replied as the car stopped in front of the place. Haruka and Koruko walked out.
"How are they coming here?" Haruka asked referring to Michiru and Sonoko.
"Sonoko-san called me earlier." Koruko replied, "They were here already. They came early to make sure everything goes alright." Haruka nodded absently. They walked into the big ballroom.
"There is Michiru-san." Koruko pointed. Haruka looked over and saw Michiru in a beautiful aqua marine dress. It complimented her hair well. Simply put, she looked absolutely beautiful. She was holding a notepad in her hands, which had gloves on them and she was talking to the caterer. Haruka watched as she nodded and pointed.
"You are here!" Sonoko bounded in a red strapless dress. Haruka shook her head. She was always a bit too hyper. Behind her came a man of about Haruka's age. He was wearing a blue tux and had gray green eyes along with blond shoulder length hair in a ponytail.
"Ok, um, this is Yamano Jeriko, my boyfriend. And Jeriko, my bosses, Hurono Kuroko and Tenou Haruka."
"Nice to meet you," Jeriko first shook Koruko's hand then Haruka's, "I saw your race car at the track. It is absolutely beautiful."
"My race car?" Haruka asked bewildered, "What were you doing at the race track?"
"I work on cars," he told her, "I love cars. And yours was absolutely amazing. It doesn't deserve to stand there just like that."
"Thank you," Haruka tried to smile. Koruko sighed.
"I should be off now!" Sonoko said, "The guests should be here." She grabbed Jeriko's arm and started to drag him away.
"Well, nice to meet you." Koruko called.
"That girls is an absolutely insane person." Haruka commented. "Now I am going to take look at the things around."
*************************************************************
Michiru watched Haruka talk to the representative from the other company. The girl was flirting and Haruka was smiling charmingly back. Michiru had to admit she loved the way Haruka looked in a tux. But she kept her distance from her boss, even though her boss had been nothing but pleasant and charming toward her. She was sitting on a table, her notebook in her hand. She loved the ballroom. It had many things made out of copper and stained glass windows. The copper shone brightly in the overhead chandeliers and the windows looked absolutely magnificent, although the lighting was dim, so it would not glare into the people's eyes. She knew the dance would start shortly. Sighing she looked down at the piece of napkin she had been doodling on and resumed.
"Hey, what you up to?" Michiru looked up to see Sonoko and Jeriko come and join her.
"Nothing." She replied.
"The dance is going to start soon." Sonoko told her, "Why don't you dance with our boss?"
"No!" Michiru blushed.
"Aw, come one, I know you like her!" Sonoko said gallantly.
"No!" she said, "I am not asking her."
"Fine," Sonoko said, "I will ask her for you." Before Michiru could stop her she got up and left, walking toward where Haruka was standing, alone now. Michiru blushed and looked down at her note pad. Jeriko grinned.
"It's ok." He told her, "You are not the only one tortured by her." He told Michiru, to which she smiled.
"You are really brave to put up with her," Michiru told him.
"I am blinded by love," he laughed. Michiru sighed. She wouldn't know what blinded by love would mean.
*************************************************************
~Finally!~ Haruka said as she stared at her glass. She hated it when girls came and flirted with her like that and asked too many questions.
"Hi!" she looked up and saw Sonoko. She groaned.
"You can be nicer about seeing me for once." Sonoko pouted.
"I don't like to pretend," Haruka told her. Sonoko stuck her tongue out and Haruka laughed.
"What do you want?" she asked.
"Do you have a date?" Sonoko asked.
"Why?" Haruka asked.
"Well, do you?"
"Does it look like I do?" Haruka asked.
"No."
"Then?"
"Ok, ok," Sonoko shrugged, "I could recommend someone."
"I don't need your recommendations." Haruka stiffened.
"Look over there." Sonoko pointed with her eyes.
"Why?"
"Just look!" Haruka turned to look where Sonoko was pointing. She saw Michiru sitting there, a pen poised in her hand, bent over a notebook.
"So?" Haruka asked looking back.
"Ask her." Sonoko said.
"She won't dance with me." Haruka said then shrugged, "More like she will end up slapping me instead."
"She will dance with you," Sonoko said.
"How come you are so sure?" Haruka asked.
"I live with her," Sonoko pointed out the obvious, "Michiru doesn't date men, you know? Well, anyway, it was just a suggestion. She won't be dancing when the dance starts. You will see." Then she just shrugged and walked away. Haruka looked at Michiru. ~Would she really dance with me?~
*************************************************************
Michiru glared at Sonoko as she slipped on the chair opposite to hers.
"Why did you do that?"
"Do what?" Sonoko made an innocent face.
"You know what I am talking about." Michiru sighed.
"Oh, look Jeriko!" Sonoko pointed, trying to act oblivious, "The dance is about to start. Let's go!" she grabbed Jeriko's arm. He gave Michiru an apologetic look before they went away. Michiru sighed. Slowly the music started. ~Will she ask me?~ Michiru wondered as she took a sip of her drink and looked in Haruka's direction. She almost choked as he saw Haruka walking toward her.
"Hi!" she sputtered out as Haruka came closer and Haruka grinned. ~Good going, Michiru~ she scolded herself.
"A lady like you shouldn't be sitting alone." Haruka said.
"Well, I wouldn't mind if you join me." Michiru suggested.
"That would be great, but I was hoping that you would honor me with a dance." Michiru felt so happy. Haruka was so sweet.
"It would be my pleasure," Michiru said standing up and giving her hand to Haruka. They walked toward the dance floor. Sonoko saw them and she gave Michiru thumbs up from behind Jeriko's head. Jeriko then turned Sonoko around to look at them as well. He grinned and mouthed "Way to go!" Michiru blushed. As soon as they stood on the dance floor and were about to start the music changed to a slow dance. Michiru glanced nervously up at Haruka, and Haruka grinned and pulled her closer. They weren't close but Michiru felt nervous like crazy.
Michiru could feel the warmth of Haruka's hands on the small of her back despite the gloves Haruka was wearing. She could also feel Haruka's hair on one of her hands that she had put on her shoulder. She didn't dare to look up in her eyes, only stared at the tie in front of her face.
"Relax," Haruka whispered soothingly. Michiru looked up at her teal eyes and felt electricity go through. The warm flood of emotions came out of nowhere. She felt her cheeks go hot. Suddenly Haruka pulled her closer.
"Hey!" she heard a familiar voice whisper from behind her. Sonoko! She had been about to bump into her that's why Haruka had pulled her closer. Michiru didn't know if she wanted to hug Sonoko or smack her for doing this. She felt Haruka's breath on her forehead and looked back up. Haruka was looking at her intently. For a second her teal eyes went dark and she leaned in close. Michiru closed her eyes, mesmerized be her stare. She was scared for a second and she felt so vulnerable in Haruka's arms, but she willed herself to relax as soon as she felt Haruka's breathing on her lips. Her own breathing went faster and her heart thumped against her rib cage. Just then the music finished and Haruka moved away. Michiru slowly opened her eyes and looked up at Haruka. She was breathing hard as well. Her hands slipped off Michiru's waist and Michiru reluctantly let go off her shoulders. They parted without a word. Michiru walked back to her table in a trance. She touched her lips and felt warm all over as soon as she remembered how Haruka's breath had felt.
Koruko watched in amazement as Haruka stood in a corner, her eyes on Michiru. He could tell she was shaken because she had never been in such close contact with anyone after Kyori had broken up with her.
