Her Story

Kimi wa ima doko ni aruite,
Nani o mitsumete'ru no?
Itsu ka hanashite kureta yume,
Oitsudzukete iru no?

The man was dressed in an ordinary business suit, more for comfort than for quality. Opening the door in front of him, he walked inside, turning on the light as he did. It flickered on, lighting the room with pale luminance. Sighing, he sat at his desk, running a hand through his messy auburn hair. A small green blinking light catches his eye. The answering machine says six new messages. Reluctantly, he presses the button. The first three were from business clients.
The man sighed inwardly and stood up, pushing his rolling chair backwards as the messages rolled off. Walking over to the small rectangular table on the side of his office, he poured himself a mug of hot cocoa. The fifth message picked up:
'Hello, Mr. Li. This is Chance Alinous. I'm calling to let you know that the editing has been completed and the book you requested is ready. You can pick it up today.'
The man set down his cocoa, his mouth in a grim line. His face unreadable, he picked up his briefcase and headed out the door leaving the last message to play to deaf ears.

The secretary raised an eyebrow at him.
"I'm sorry Mr. Li, but Mr. Alcinous doesn't seem to have an appointment with you on his agenda."
The man opened his mouth to reply, but was cut off abruptly as Chance came bustling through to door.
"Oh -- sorry Amy, I didn't schedule it," he said, briskly leading Mr. Li into his office. The secretary shrugged indifferently and blew a bubble.
"Sorry about that," he said, picking up a box. His eyes scanned it quickly before handing it to the man in front of him.
Syaoran Li took the box, and after thanking the man, walked swiftly back to his car and drove back to his office.
"Karen. Please hold all calls for me this afternoon," he told his secretary and without providing an explanation he went back into his office, setting the box onto the desk and locking the door behind him.
For a moment, he just stared at it, debating with himself whether or not to open it right now. He decided to be sensible since he had nothing else to do seeing as he had Karen holding all his calls.
He began to open the musty looking package, and once it was, he dug into the styrofoam balls, and his heart stopped when he found what he was looking for.
He drew out the small book. On the cover was a black and white picture of a girl, her back turned, staring out into the ocean from a cliff as her short hair whipped around carelessly in the wind. Above the picture, was the title, 'Her Story' and below that in smaller font was 'A Diary'.
Syaoran looked at the picture for a moment, and slowly opened the book.

Where are you walking,
What are you staring at now?
Are you still chasing that dream,
You once told me about?
~~*~~
A/N: Next chapter coming soon, titled 'The Girl', and credit for the song goes to Hamasaki Ayumi, the song called 'Still Alone'. And the tenses might seem a little confusing in the prologue, but it won't happen in the future chapters. Please review!
And Question!! If you know how to do italics, bold letterings, underlining, and centering, could you please tell me how? Thanks! ^_^
