"Tomoyo-chan!" Turning around, Tomoyo watched as Fai came up to her in a light jog.
"Fai-san, good morning." She stopped to talk to him.
Smiling at her, he replied. "Good morning, I was wondering if you had information on the people working in your company."
"Why do you need that?" Tomoyo asked, although she already had a good idea why he needed it.
"Well, you know how we're going to publish a monthly magazine on the Daidouji Corporation?" She nodded. "Then you should know that I'm going to be the photographer. I need information on the people, I'm taking photos of, and their pictures in general. I'm in need of something new."
Tomoyo cocked an eyebrow at Fai. "What's wrong with using Sakura-chan?"
Putting his hands up in defense, Fai went on speaking, "Oh no, it's not like that, it's just that I need to take pictures of the new clothing line right? I have Syaoran-kun and Sakura-chan wearing the teen fashion, then there is Kurogane with the men's wear, but we have no one with the women's wear. I need to find someone else for the job."
"I understand let me get it for you."
----------------------------
The room was lit with a fluorescent blue, as the only source of life was the computer screen. "Hmmm... Let's see, there is a women named Arashi-san, that might work, huh? Tomoyo put a coment here about her. If you are going to use this woman, you will have to hire her husband as well. Her husband? Sorata Arisugawa, ooooo, there is a list of likes and dislikes here. Likes - I love it when my wife is happy. Dislikes - I hate it when people touch my honey! Okay... Then I probably can't have her as a model."
"Oh, this person... Primera... chan? Strange, who puts a -chan behind their name on purpose?" Seeing the cute green haired girl in the picture, Fai dismissed the thought of her modeling the women's clothing line that were already designed.
Flashing through the list of pictures, he finally stopped at one picture in particular. Somehow, he couldn't help but think about this person's potential... But is this type of person really acceptable? It may change the image I've been creating with my pictures, although I admit the first one has done that already. Most of all the pictures Fai had done, only dealt with "happy" images that would satisfy everyone in the public. The pictures that had any trace amount of other emotion were normally for profiles of people with that atitude, but never for the pictures Fai had.
Grinning, Fai had found another potential model. I can't let a chance like this pass.
------------------------------
Hmmmm... Now they work in Section A of the K Building right? Fai wandered around in the large buildings of the corporation, wondering where he should go. It was time to take some of the photos, and he needed to ask the people,if they would agree to being models. I wonder if that person will agree, to being a model? Probably not, although the perfect choice. Looking at the signs he had finally found his destination.
-------------------------------
"Hey isn't that person..." People looked over to where the famous photographer opened the door to the astronomy room. Here was the section where a lot of the horoscopes and astronomical readings were made. "Oh my god, do I look okay?" "Can you fix my hair?" "Did he just look at me!" Whispers erupted from the room, all wondering who Fai was picking to be his model.
"Ah, sorry. Wrong room." And he closed the door and went away.
------------------------------
That's the person from the cover of the magazine... A figure watched as Fai exited the room into the hallway. It's not my problem or concern. After the short pause, the figure walked on. The blonde in the hallway was only a distraction to the task at hand.
But Fai was concerned with the person in the hallway, it was the person he was looking for. Walking over he called out, "Watanuki-kun!"
------------------------------
The boy paused to look back at the blonde man walking up to him. "Is there something you need Fai-san?" He asked.
"Ahhhh, so you know my name already? That's good then. Well I wondering if you would-"
"No."
"No?"
"I'm sorry, but whatever concern you have will have to be put on hold. I have a very important meeting to go to, and I cannot be late." The boy turned away from the photographer.
Undeterred Fai walked beside him. "I'll go with you then!"
---------------------------------
Two people walked next to each other. One was had a giant, bright smile on his face, while the other practically had storm clouds over his head.
"Are you going to keep on following me Fai-san?" Watanuki pushed his glasses up hoping the other man would disappear.
"Yup! I need to talk to you, but I understand that you have work too! I can wait for you until you're done." He kept following.
Slowing down his pace he finally came to a stop in front of one of the many doors in the corridor. "It's not my fault if she gets mad at you though..."
"Huh?" Fai was confused by what he meant, but he had no time to think about it as Watanuki opened the door.
"Watanuki, who is that with you?"
-------------------------
Inside was an elegant, traditional Japanese room. There were tapestries hanging from the walls and a smoky, white, vanilla incense filled the room. At the very back were two large chairs, the one at the back had a crown of silk above its cushions. Lying on the extravagant chair was an entrancing woman. As she shifted to a sitting position, her long hair draped over her body, as it covered the dangerous amount of pale skin she was showing at her shoulders.
"Yuuko-san, this is Fai-san. He is our current head of the photography department. Fai-san, meet Yuuko-san. She has been our top of the line doctor in psychology since she has joined the corporation." Watanuki gestured to the people he was talking about.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Yuuko-san." Fai smiled pleasantly at Yuuko.
"You can call me Yuuko if you wish, Fai." Yuuko spent no time doing formalities.
"She is a bit rude at times, so please just bear with it." Watanuki whispered into Fai's ear.
"I heard that Watanuki. Please, sit down while he makes us some tea. He is our "child prodigy" in foreign cuisine. I'm sure that he will at least make something that will not poison us." Yuuko said this while gesturing Fai to sit in the chair in front of her.
"Hey!" Watanuki protested, but despite that, he went to make some tea for the two.
While Fai sat down Yuuko started talking again. "I can't help but wonder why you are here today Fai and especially with Watanuki of all people? I'm very eager to here the reason."
"Well, I haven't actually spoken to Watanuki-kun yet, so I have no option, but to wait until he is done with work."
"He's not going to be done for a while."
"Hmm?"
"Watanuki works with me as my personal assistant."
More like as a slave. Watanuki thought silently in his head. "I treat you well for what you owe me Watanuki." Watanuki jumped as Yuuko's voice permeated his thoughts. How does she do that? "Well as a psychologist, I should no the minds of simple creatures Watanuki, now what were we talking about Fai?"
"Well, I'd love it if Watanuki-kun could come into the room, so I could talk to him." Fai put up an innocent smile.
"But Fai, I know that you want to talk to me as well, so how about you discuss that deal about me first, and then you can tell your plans to Watanuki later." Looking at Fai's surprised face she replied, "I'm a psychologist, it is easy to tell your thoughts right now, when you're acting innocent Fai."
----------------------------------------------------
"Tomoyo-chan!" Tomoyo looked up from her desk to see Fai opening her door.
"Good afternoon Fai-san, did you find the information you needed?"
"Yes, and I have found two other models."
HAHAHAHAHAA! I bet the first unknown figure you guys thought it was Yuuko right? Well, you can't have Yuuko, without meeting Watanuki first. But it has been a long 7 chapters, and finally Yuuko arrives into the story! I know this is the part you have been waiting for! SO read and review for the continuation of this story!
