AN: I wasn't planning on continuing this. But you guys really encouraged and inspired me to continue what I had there.

Fired II

Satoshi drifted into his normal reserved, and distant state. He barely spoke to anyone he deemed unworthy. All he ever did was walk around the cubicles, observing, and taking notes. Entire rooms would grow quiet when he walked in. Individuals ducked their heads and pretended to work, hoping that they would go unnoticed. And Satoshi kept scribbling in his notebook with this fine, neat handwriting. Every moment or two, he'd push up his glasses and glare at people who dared to look up.

Everyone respected him for what he was. Today, they were especially scared after word got around about the unexplained firing of Tashio san.

Except for Risa. She was too pissed off to be scared.

Risa wasn't scared of Satoshi. Why on earth would she be scared of this weird, depressed, and anti-social guy? Was he even human? She was still angry with him. Yeah okay, she got her job back, but she wasn't happy with what happened afterwards. The guy violated her privacy for goodness sakes. If she had to describe him, he was fascinat—er, wierd. Firstly, he never talked to her normally. Secondly, he told her to go out with him for no good reason. Not that Satoshi wasn't good looking or anything but that's beside the point. The point is, he embarrassed her horribly in front of the entire company. At that moment, she wanted to quit the job and never have to see these people again. But the irony is, she was just hired. By him! Again, his fault.

Risa wouldn't have minded it so much if nobody knew. But no, Satoshi had to choose the wall next to the elevator. She never even noticed the seven people who spilled out to watch the show.

"Maybe you should go out with me.." said he as if he owned the place. And all she could do was stare wide-eyed across his shoulders at the crowd that had somehow gathered.

Now, every woman who worked there stared at her with resentful slit eyes. She could feel their angry vibes heat up her back every time she got up to go to the washroom. For goodness sakes! It wasn't even her fault! As if she deserved it! All she ever wanted was to work in peace.

It was a real mystery to why all these women liked Satoshi so much. Why didn't he go after someone who actually wanted him? Well, Risa knew she was too good for him.

There was no way on earth she'd slip and let this happen again. Risa and Satoshi weren't going out. She didn't like him, and Satoshi was just plain…. weird.

So when Satoshi walked into her room and started to glare at random people, Risa looked up defiantly and glared back. Everyone else withered like flowers planted in a dessert.

But she was like this lone, beautiful red rose in a lush, green garden. She had thorns, but that only made her more beautiful.

Satoshi knew he had to have her. Only she would do. There was no competition and there never will be.

Their eyes were still locked together when he approached her desk.

"Harada san, I have more work for you. Please come with me to my office." he said, not in a loud voice, but it was audible to everyone in the room.

"I refuse." What was he going to do? Fire her? Oh what a joke!

"Then I hope you don't mind if I use force." Satoshi picked her up without warning and walked out of the room with his prize and into his room.

There were security cameras in that room, but for some reason, they failed to work for a few hours. Two more people were mysteriously fired the next day and forbidden to enter the building. So in the end, nobody in the office was sure of what happened.

Satoshi was satisfied.

AN: You know what, Satoshi could have been in character now that I think about it. We always think of him as being depressed, angry, in pain or smiling maniacally with a plan up his sleeves. But wouldn't YOU if you were in his shoes? Well, in this pointless office fic of mine, Krad doesn't exist. (chases Krad away with a broom)
