"Your appointments as of today are as follows," babbled the lady as Isamu walked through the halls. It was quiet urgent for her to know all those so she walks, the lady walks. But it was just for today, she guessed.
"8:00, you will be having a tea meeting with the women's association of Suna."
Isamu just listened.
"9:30, you will have a meeting with the area leaders and hear their problems concerning their areas."
Tock, click, tock, click… Their heels' sounds echo through the empty halls.
"11:00, lunch meeting with the elders. Agenda is about Suna's economy. And also, other matters will be discussed."
The lady continued….
"3:30, meeting with the daimyo's son."
The ebony-haired girl glanced at her before averting her gaze to her path. "Why is that included in my appointment?" she asked. The lady answered, "One of the daimyos in western Earth Country is willing to give out the scrolls which we badly needed. And he can give it for free if you would meet his son." She raised a brow, "How come I wasn't informed? I'm the Kazekage and therefore I should know all these." "The higher-ranked elders have decided it for you, Madam." Isamu gritted her teeth in anger, "Those pesky wrinkly old hags! Don't they know that I can exile them if I want?!"
The lady jumped and covered her mouth while Isamu's throwing fit was muffled. "Hush! Kazekage-sama! They might hear you!" she said in concern. She glared at her and shut up. The appointment checker took in a deep breath and, "Okay so…"
"After 5:30, you are free to retire…,"
Isamu smiled…
"… If you have no paper works anymore."
Her smile died down.
.
8:00 (meeting with woman's association of Suna)
.
"We need a new law concerning on those perverts who keep on peeping in the hot springs!" exclaimed a woman. Isamu just looked at her boredly and nodded. She yawned and, "So, what do you want to do?" The woman's enthusiastic reply was, "Whoever is caught peeping will be arrested and jailed!" The women cheered and made noises. Isamu didn't say a thing, she just stared at her. "Uh… Okay." In the back of her head, "Hello? Was that even a law?"
.
9:30 (meeting with area leaders)
.
"Kazekage-sama, the proper disposal of waste should be brought to a higher level!" said the man. "Yeah!" the others said. She sighed, "Fine. From now on, it should be implemented that biodegradable, non-biodegradable, glass, paper and chemical products should be separated."
There floods more and more problems….
And she thought of more solutions…
.
11:00 (lunch meeting with the elders)
.
"Okay-" the old man was cut off by her whine, "Can we eat first?" she asked. The elders in the round table sweatdropped.
After the early lunch, they discussed about Suna's economy, the income and the expenses. Isamu's eyes scanned the rows and columns of numbers in the chart. They discussed about further development of exporting and importing of goods. They were glad that Isamu is staying on track about what is happening.
Man, it was a looooooong meeting….
.
The meeting actually ended by 3: 15 and the appointment checker grabbed her out of the meeting room. "Madam, it's time for you to prepare. "What the hell…" Isamu murmured.
She was stripped off by her usual Kazekage robes (although she seldom uses it) and wore a simple white kimono with dark blue flowers on it. She held her Kazekage hat and walked to the room where she could wait for the, "Fuckin' son of a daimyo," she murmured. Her ebony hair swayed as she walks.
.
Gaara was summoned to guard the Kazekage while inside the room. As what he knew, the daimyo's son hasn't arrived yet and Isamu was inside with an old woman and Isamu's secretary (appointment checker). He figured out that it was one of the elders. The scroll was of great importance for unknown reason.
.
It was 3:28 when the daimyo's son arrived. Gaara observed that he brought with him only two ANBUs. The woman inside got out of the room. So obviously, there are only Isamu, the guy and the secretary.
.
3:30 (meeting with the daimyo's son)
.
Isamu was waiting inside. She was resting her side of face on her knuckles as she leaned on the arm of the sofa. Finally, the daimyo's son is here. He took off his hat and revealed a quite handsome man about three years older than her. He has pale skin, emerald eyes and blue hair. The guy casted a charming smile and the secretary herself blushed. Isamu just merely nodded as a greeting.
The bluenette man sat down the sofa across her. "Greetings Kazekage-sama," he said in a warm voice. Isamu retreated from her current position and sat formally. "Greetings uhm…," "Yuri, please call me Yuri." She sighed, "Okay, greetings Yuri-san."
"I have the scrolls that my father promised to give the Kage," Yuri placed the said scrolls on the small centerpiece table. Isamu took a look of each of them and examined them carefully. She signaled for her secretary to come and bring the scrolls to where it's supposed to be.
.
"Is that all that you've came here?" she asked the bluenette. He smiled, "Actually, the main purpose why I came here is to see you." She raised a brow, "Eh?" "I've seen you before, maybe twice; in the chunnin exams and Sand festival." She sighed, "And you came to see me again?" she asked boredly. "Exactly," Yuri said.
"I won't hesitate anymore to say this," Yuri said, "I would be true to myself and to you." She just stared at him blankly, not really caring what he says. "I would like to know you better," he spoke out and an evident blush on his face was visible. He expected a happy answer but he got a, "You can read my data book."
He animatedly turned into a huge dry rock. He started chuckling, she raised a brow. "You're quite a joker, Kazekage-sama. I like that characteristic" he softly said after his laugh. "Joke? I'm not joking. I can even lend you my data book if you want," she muttered. He sighed. "You've got my attention back in the chunnin exams," he admitted truthfully.
Isamu, who's finally getting on what's happening, crossed her arms, "How did I suppose to get your attention?" "I don't know. I suddenly don't understand my emotions towards you. I suddenly felt the need to get close to you," Yuri told her. "I have found a liking in you, Isamu," he confessed. She raised a fine brow, "What??"
"So you have this sort of crush on me?" The bluenette nodded. "You don't know what you're talking about," she muttered. "I know, this is real. And if this feeling will ever have a chance to grow, I know that it will turn into Love," he said. She could feel her skin crawl. "You know, I'm not pretty; sucks for you. Plus I'm not sexy," she explained clearly. "I don't care! I don't need those. I only need you," he almost cried. She sighed, this is gonna be a long pursuing.
She tried to make her voice kind, "You know Yuri-san, you are a very handsome man. I'm sure you can find someone way better than me. I'm sure of that." He looked sad and hurt. "But, I can't sleep and eat properly since I started to think of you." That's it, she snapped. "I'll tell you frankly, I'm not interested in boys. I'm in with girls," she said. She hoped he believe her.
Yuri stared at her in shock, "O-Oh, is that so? Uhm, it's nice to have a talk with you! I'm sorry for my utter disrespect. Pease expect that I won't bother you again. Good bye!" he ran out of the room. Isamu laughed so hard. "AHAHAHAHA! What a sissy!"
She went out and saw Gaara aka the demon outside. "Walk me to my office," she commanded. "Jerk-face," she thought. Gaara seemed to understand what happened with the use of his third eye.
.
"Sigh!" She jumped down on her bed. "With those clones doing my work, life could be very easy!" She giggled to herself.
