Currently in the sitting room outside the main office, waiting...
As it turned out, the associate I was to meet with had a 'slight' delay and I was left waiting until he arrived, or someone else turned available.
Seated on my left, Levi was currently engrossed in texting someone, possibly his girlfriend, about something or another. After five minutes, I already resorted to drumming my short nails against the wooden coffee table next to the secretary.
"You seem bored."
A boy now stood in front of my current seat with ragged raven hair and large murky eyes. Showing a smile I nodded slightly. He must be one of the worker's kids.
"I suppose I do."
"So what's your name? And what are you doing here? Sorry, but you don't seem like the person to be in business status..."
The boy took a seat on the table in front of me. His curious gaze still on my form.
"I suppose I don't... But my name's Utaru, Emi, I had a meeting with someone here about some advertisement business. What would your name be?"
The boy's eyes noticeably widened slightly.
"You're that one singer on the TV, aren't you!"
Shifting slightly, I gave a nod.
"Hai, my sister and I have been on quite a bit of shows..."
"Well, my name's Kaiba, Mokuba! Who are you meeting with?"
'Kaiba... Like Kaiba, Seto?'
"It's nice to meet you, Kaiba-"
"Mokuba is fine!" He interrupted with his finger in the air and a grin across his face.
"It's nice to meet you, Mokuba-san. To tell the truth, I really don't know. I was just told that I had an appointment here about some publicity or something..."
Just then the oak doors burst open, startling everyone, with the exception of Mokuba.
'I suppose that answers my question...'
There he was, striding into the room... Seto Kaiba, CEO of Kaiba Corporation. Who couldn't help but stare as he crossed the room without so much as a glance.
"Looks like brother had a bad day... I'll be right back Emi-San!"
With that, Mokuba ran off, disappearing behind the heavy office doors, into the other room.
"Every time I see you talk to kids, I want to laugh," Levi stated with a grin, only to receive a cold glare in his direction.
"It's sort of my job!"

After a few more minutes of waiting, a woman in business attire approached us.
"Utaru-San, pardon for the delay, but someone will see you know."
I stood without another word and followed her into the same room that Mokuba disappeared into a few moments before.
"Mr. Kaiba, Ms. Utaru is here," the woman almost flinched as a harsh command was stated before turning to me.
"He'll see you now." With that, I was left to enter the office of one of the most powerful men in Domino, possibly Japan itself.
I peeked in slightly, assuring a safe entrance.
"Hey Emi-San!"
"Mokuba-San..." I looked at the little boy, slightly confused.
"Mokuba, wait outside, please." The boy gave his brother a whining look, but complied.
"So, what business proposition do you have on behalf of Kaiba Corp?"
'Is this the same guy that I sit next to at school...'
Taking a breath, I walked confidently into the office and took a seat in front of Kaiba. Crossing my legs casually, I tried to calm my heart rate.
"I'm speaking for Ishoshi Productions...."

I was finally on my way home, but I didn't even look forward to that, really. I still had the god-forsaken dinner to go to with Kyome...
'Then they'll probably ask how the meeting went too...' I rubbed my hands along by arms. He didn't seem like the same guy that sat next to me at school, there he was... in control? There was something that made him different. His brother? Possible...
'It's hard to believe that they're even related to one another...'
"We've arrived at the concert hall, Ishoshi-San."
I nodded, "Thank you Levi-San." A few minutes after the car stopped, I finally opened the door.
I was already out of uniform, so I just had to get into costume and make up. After a half hour Lily, my 'image consultant' was done with her job.
"Hey, Emi!"
"Nina..."
Hanashi appeared in full costume. A tri-colored wig and sequined top, and matching skirt. We dressed like opposites. So, I was in a pale violet wig, belted jeans and corset top.
"They said that we sold out again. I can't wait to rub it in on the others." She giggled, placing a manicured nail on her lips.
"Yeah, let's just get through this..."
-+-+-
A normal performance. Multicolored lights, flashy costumes, music, and crazy dances. When you're onstage, you have to have a good time, no matter how you really feel off the stage. That's what we were told, and that's how we act.

After the concert, and many autographs, we were finally able to break away from the crowds and head backstage to changed out. There was still the dreaded dinner with Kyomi.
So, we, I, as forced to dress for the occasion. Black dress, black shoes, black jacket, and black purse. I was ready for a funeral.
"Ready?"
"Yeah..." I broke eye contact with my reflection and packed my things, brushing back my black bangs. We were out the back door and into a limo. Levi was driving again, along with Hanashi's guard in the passenger seat, in front.
'This can't turn out to be a good night...'
Thank you so much for reading, even if it was short! Thank you Element Girls, Aryaine, and Jade the Grey for your uplifting review! I hope to hear from you again, as well as anyone else that would take the time to send a small comment! Again, sorry for the delay.
NOTE: I will be studying for finals this week, before going on a trip to Japan for the summer. I will be back on July 29th, or so I'm planning. I am sorry for the inconvinence!
