Haruhi was reviewing some old case files when her computer dinged. She had just gotten a memo from Mr. Tachiki. He wanted to see her in his office. Haruhi grabbed a pen and a notebook before hurrying out the door. He probably had some notes he wanted her to take.
Haruhi smiled at Ms. Numata, the secretary before opening the door to Mr. Tachiki's office. It was a rather large office. With windows all along one side that looked out over Tokyo. The room had a very modern feel with some traditional elements. The desk was an old-fashioned cherry with two chairs in front of it. Haruhi never noticed any of this though.
"You wanted to see me Mr. Tachiki?" She asked as she went to take a seat in front of his desk.
"Yes, yes I did. You see Ms. Fujioka, I believe it is time you spread your wings and flew." As he said this Mr. Tachiki stood up from his desk and began pacing. "When you first come out of law school you must spend your time learning your surroundings and getting a feel for the real world. Then, once you've done this for awhile you begin taking baby steps into the real world. You work a case here, or you work a case there; never one that goes to court of course. And then! When your mentor decides that you are truly ready to spread your wings, you fly! You fly right into a cut and dry court case that will make or break your career. One that will ensure that people will come seek you out. One that will bring you true fame and fortune. Fame and fortune that you have rightly earned, of course." Haruhi just stared at Mr. Tachiki as he gave this speech. Even Tamaki couldn't spout this much nonsense at one time. It baffled her that Mr. Tachiki, a successful defense lawyer, could. "Now is your time to fly Ms. Fujioka. I have a case here for you that will make you famous! Here's the case file. You're defending an innocent man accused of sexual harassment. Your client will be here in ten minutes. Go win this case!" Mr. Tachiki almost shouted the last sentence as he thrust a file into Haruhi's hands.
"Thank you Mr. Tachiki." Haruhi said as calmly as she could. Her mind was still reeling from that speech. Haruhi then left Mr. Tachiki's office and wandered down the hall to her own, which wasn't nearly as grandiose as Mr. Tachiki's office.
As soon as the door to her office shut Haruhi allowed herself a huge smile. She had finally done it! Mr. Tachiki trusted her with a case! Haruhi sat down at her computer and sent a quick email to her father, he would be so proud. As soon as she finished the email she started to open the case file. Before she could begin to read the file Ms. Numata sent her a memo stating that her client was here. Haruhi shot a quick memo back asking her to send the client in.
Quickly Haruhi straightened her desk. She finished and got her hands right in front of her on the case file when the door opened. Haruhi looked up at her new client and smiled her natural Host Club smile, "Welcome, please have a…." Haruhi's voice trailed off as she saw who was smiling kindly at her from the door.
"Hello Haruhi. How are you?" He said softly.
This was who was accused of sexual harassment? Who in the world would accuse him of that? They had to be crazy!
