Kaname had called the school and the girl's roommate before getting any information on where she was. The cemetery was an hour away and she didn't even know if she was going to be there when she got there.
For this Miyu's sake and for her own she prayed that she was. Lava had never yelled at her like that. The way he got so mad made her think that this girl was really the only one she was suppose to get. Lucky for her too it's the only one she couldn't find.
After an hour of thinking of all the ways to kill this girl if she wasn't here she finally made it to the cemetery. It was a small cemetery and standing alone in between two graves was Kaname's saving grace.
She walked up to Miyu so she wouldn't startle her. Miyu looked at her then nodded he hello.
"I'm sorry to disturb you but are you Miyu Raiko?" Kaname practically held her breath waiting for the girls answer.
"Yes that's me. Can I help you with something?" Miyu was confused and even though the woman was small they were in the middle of nowhere.
"I am Kaname and I am here on behalf of Lava Tokedo. He has sent invitations to the top business students at Tokyo University and he requests and audience with you before the day is out. I am terribly sorry to have to pull you away from your mourning but I am afraid if you don't return with me I will not have a job to return to tomorrow." Kaname was begging this stranger. She had never sunk so low but she loved her job and was not going to loose it for some girl stiffing her boss.
"Ok let me say good-bye and I will follow you back." Miyu bowed to her parents' grave and began to leave. Lava wanted to see her. She knew it.
They had arrived back at the offices later then Kaname would have liked but the girl had wanted to stop for lunch. She had to admit that it was pleasant to just sit and relax and talk to someone.
When they got back all the other students had left. She had thought Lava was going to fire her anyway. It was almost six when Kaname finally opened Lava's office door.
"Sir, here is the last candidate. I'm sorry it took so long."
"You may be excused Kaname. Take the night off I'll see you in the morning. I want you hear early. We will have much to discuss." With a wave of his hand she left to go home.
"Miyu please sit down. Can I get you a drink?" He offered just so happy to see that face again.
"Yes please. So your secretary tells me that you're looking for a student for a project. What did you have in mind?" She wasn't looking at him. She didn't want him to see how excited she was that he was interviewing her for such a job.
The jobs he could give her are the jobs that she was busting her ass for. She knew he had interviewed other students and most were a better choice but she knew if he just gave her a chance she could do it.
"I need someone to supervise the construction of a high rise I'm building. I'm going to condense a city block of apartments into a high rise to make room for trees and a park. It's a big job so I'll be working closely with who ever I choose. I'm looking for personality and drive. I also need someone I won't want to kill after a day or two." He turned to make sure she wasn't looking. His Miyu wouldn't mind but this girl didn't know him and he didn't want her to run screaming.
He opened his safe hidden behind a painting and poured red liquid into her cup. Reincarnation or not if she didn't like this drink, well he could only hope she would.
He closed the vault and went back to sit down in front of her.
"Here is your drink, sorry I was checking paperwork real quick while I was up. Does the job sound like it might interest you?" He watched very carefully as she was about to take a sip.
He could have cursed himself as he watched her set the glass down so she could speak.
"If I could see the design I'd love to see if I could help. I'm probably not what your looking for but I have the drive and definitely the determination that I think your looking for." She leaned back in her chair getting comfortable.
This man made her feel welcome and she hoped it showed so he would hire her. She picked up her glass again and drank the thick liquid inside. Her eyes opened wide as she took another sip.
"This is amazing I've never tasted anything like it. What is it?"
"It's something from my private collection. Most people can't stand the taste of it, I'm glad u appreciate it." Lava was as happy as he was over four hundred years ago.
Right before his eyes the girl's chocolate brown eyes changed to the blue ones he would never forget. He had so many emotions running through him right now he could barely contain not jumping over his desk and crying into her shoulder like the three-year-old boy he felt like.
He just wanted to hold her and tell her he loved her and how much he missed her. This was all too much but he remained his cool exterior.
"Looking over your file you have the credentials that I am looking for. Your top of your class, you know a fine taste when you see it and I don't think you'll let anyone get the better of you if it goes against what you truly want. You're exactly who I am looking for. Can you join me for dinner tomorrow night? I'll bring the blueprints and we can discuss what you will be doing and where to start." He was glowing inside. It was truly her, his Miyu.
"I would love to. How about at seven when all my classes are finished for the day." She couldn't believe he actually hired her. She was going to be working side by side with him on a multi-million dollar project.
"I will see you at seven then Miss Raiko." He stood up and shook her hand. The white light engulfed their hands just like he had seen in the blood those centuries ago.
She was shocked and pulled back but to him it was like a beacon. It was saying yes your doing the right thing. It was screaming to him this was his second chance and to not screw it up.
She smiled politely to him and bowed. She left the room at a leisurely pace taking her time to soak it all in.
Lava walked over to her drink as soon as she left the room. He drank the rest of it taking in its warmth and her essence.
In his so-called private stash he kept one pouch of fresh blood. He had tested it on a few people and they all were repulsed by it. The girl loved it and her eyes turned blue showing what she truly was.
She didn't know it but she was a vampire. Maybe it was recessive or lie dormant he didn't know. He did know if he kept giving her his private collection she would turn into what she once was.
All he could do now was play his cards right and sweep her off her feet.
