IN THE CAR

Akira : Sorry to interrupt your work.(opened the sliding door)

Mia : Akira-kun!Where have you been all day?

Akira : I was busy at the studio handling the preparation for tonight’s show.Fortunately,my part is done.(sigh of relief)

Mia : Eh,before that. Yukari-san,Sara-san.

Sara and Yukari : Yes Mia-san?

Mia : Did you by any chance managed to see the new assistant?

Sara : I did!three of us including Kaori did.We saw her when she was walking with you Mia-san.

Mia : Good good.Akira,you should meet the assistant!

Akira : Who’s assistant?

Mia : Our Mizuhara Shinn’s new personal assistant!Very very beautiful!

Sara : Indeed!I was captivated because she look very cool for some reason too.(excited)

Mia :Not to mention she reminds me of that lady..who is her name again.She was Shinn’s personal assistant years ago.

Akira : Who?

Akira : Oh well,you girls are making me curious then.Cant wait to pay a visit to Kabuki palace tomorrow morning. I shall get to the main office now..

Sara and Yukari : NO problem! Mia-san!

KABUKI PALACE

Mika : So this is his beloved dinner.Still hot and soupy and whatever he needs is in the respective individual package .As he ordered them to be.

Yumi : Very very impressive Mika-san.You got it all right,even at your first attempt!

Mika : I doubt it is so hard to follow the instruction you gave me this morning.

Yumi : Megumi-san,please take all these food and prepare then in Shinn’s room please.Thank you.

Megumi : Will do,Ishia-sama.

Yumi : Thank you so much.

Megumi smiles at Mika before she took the boxes and went to the kitchen.

Mika :(smiles ) Its 5.45 now.Is there anything else I should do Ishia-san?

Yumi:Can I say something Mika-san?

Mika :Yes sure?

Yumi : You have been such a great assistant to Shinn for today that I must say,I have not met one for a long time.

Mika : I suppose I should take that as a--

Shouji : Compliment my lady.Thank you so much for your hard work today.It is very very impressive.Now hurry along and get ready to go home.It’s dark and its gonna get darker by any minute Mika-san

Mika : But,it is only 5.46.

Yumi :NO worries,Shinn is not even here yet.I doubt he will be here soon so hurry along .You must catch the bus.

Mika : (laugh)

Shouji : Or the train?

Mika : Afraid that I have to catch none of it.(laughed)

Yumi : Eh?Dont tell me you walked here!?

Mika: Eh.Of course not Ishia-san.Dont worry.I have it all planned (Smiles)

Shouji : Hurry along then.Make sure to take good care of yourself and do eat your dinner.You have not eaten anything right since this morning?

Mika : (smiles) See you tomorrow then*bows

Mika walked towards the main gate and went out through the small door on the right.Yumi and Shouji watched as Mika disappeared from their view.

Yumi : I am so curious on how she managed to beat Shinn today.

Shouji : Sounded the same.

Yumi: The same?

Shouji : Your tone when you said that.Just like 2 years ago

Yumi : Oh,indeed(sigh) Lets get going then.I cant bring myself to remember that one.

Shouji : (looking at the sky) Rest in peace my young lady.

ODERA RESIDENCE

Haruna : So!HOW WAS IT!!!?

Mika : Hold it,I have not removed my shoes yet.

Minami : Welcome home Mika-chan.Dinner is ready!

Haruna : We must get her to tell everything about her first day of work Okasan!

Minami : Alright,alright but get yourself to the dining table first,Haruna,Mika.Where is your borther?

Haruna : He is still at work I guess.He told us to go ahead and eat first.

Minami : Really?He will miss the crunchy prawn tempura then (laughed)

Mika : Tempura?

Minami : You love them right?(smiles)

Mika : Oh now I am hungry.

Haruna : Come come (pushed Mika to the dining table)

While they were eating,Mika was telling both of them about her first day at work.

Haruna : Mizuhara Shinn? You mean the famous Kabuki actor!?

Minami : Are you serious Mika-chan?

Mika : Why are you both looking at me like that?Is he really that famous?

Haruna : Well,I remember he is so good looking though.Despite the thick make up and aristocaratic traditional costumes on him.

Minami :Is he nice?

Mika : (laughed so hard) NO.

Haruna : Seriously?

Mika : Now,I have no doubts about the previous 20 assistants before me.

Haruna : He had 20?

Minami : I go and get more soup alright(went to the kitchen)

Mika : He is bloody annoying Haruna.Bloody and bloody.

Haruna : (sigh) It must be really really tiring?

Mika : Not really.Taking good care of him is like taking cae of a 5 years old school kid.Annoying but he has limits.

Haruna : (nods)

Chapter 4

KAZUKI PALACE

Suzu : We made it!

Suzu parked the black car infront of the main gate and opened the door for Shinn.AS shinn stepped out and looked aroun,he spotted few bikes and motorcylcles parkd across the street and he spot a familiar black matte superbike.But he said nothing and ignored it.

Suzu : It took longer than I thought.I am terribly sorry Mia-san

Mia : Its okay Suzuki.We knew about the traffic so we are not surprised.Mizuhara-sama,this way .

Shinn : Locked the door please.And don’t let anyone enter the palace.

Suzu : Eh?Why is that?

Mia :Is there anything wrong?

Shinn : Just do it.(walked away)

Mia and Suzu looked at each other.

Mia : New girl?

Suzu : You got it Mia.New assistant.Mika.

Mia : Mika?

Mia is the leader of the Kazuki Palace housekeeping.She is 34 years old and married  with 3 children.Despite her age,she is always mistaken to be in her early 20s.

Suzu :Where is Akito? He is inside with his work.I need to go and fetch my kids later but ahhh since you are here..

Suzu : NO problem.I can do that for you Mia (smiles)

Mia :Oh you are always so kind.You should get married Suzuki!

Suzu : We’ll put that aside first.Are you locking the door?

Mia :Now that you mention it.I am locking the door.Everyone is here already thought.

Suzu : Except the assistant.

Mia : You think?(smiles)

THE MAIN MEETING ROOM

Hiroto : God you are good!

Mika : Never underestimate the females you know.Who is next?

Tora :Damn,my turn.If I lost this arm wrestle .what do I have to do?

HIroto and Mika : FOOD.

HIroto : (laughed)Alright,get ready now

Mika : Please don’t hold back tora.

Tora : I wont!

After struggling with the wrestle Tora gave up because Mika is too strong and he lost the game.

Mika : This is such a good start.

Hiroto : Damn you are so strong.I wonder why you were born as a lady,and a beautiful one too..

Tora : (smacks Hiroto’s head) Shut up

They were chatting and laughing and Shinn were heading to that room and heard the noise.

Hiiro : Yo.You are late.

Shinn : Blame the damn traffic.

Hiiro : I don’t see your assistant with you?

Shinn : probable running for her life.

Hiiro : (sigh) Why are you always like that Shinn.

Shinn : Oh cut the crap lets get inside.I was gonna fire her anyway,so by doing this would be a solid reason because she is late for her--

Hiiro opened the sliding door and the three person inside the room turned around and looked at Hiiro’s direction

Shinn : (shocked)

Shinn was completely frozen to see Mika sitting with Hiroto and Tora at the meeting table together,but most important,how did she end up here,before him.

Mika : (stood and smile)

Hiiro : Eh?You are here?

Hiroto : Yo Hiiro.Have you met Shinn’ s personal assistant?

Hiiro : I did but it was very quick (walked towards them)

Shinn did not move an inch because he cant still get the fact that Mika was already there.

Hiiro : How long have you been here.

Mika : About 40 minutes.Or more.

Tora : Long enough to arm wrestle with us.Damn,Hiiro you should watch her.She is bloody strong!

Hiroto : She defeated us both 3 times.I cant brain that yet

Four of them completely ignored the frozen Shinn at the door.

Hiroto : Shinn,what are you doing?

Shinn : (snapped out)

Mika : (looking at him) IAlright,since you are here.We can start now.

Mia : Eh Mika-san.Alright,you know where to go right?

Mika : Yes,you told me where is the room just now.NO worries Mia-san.Thank you.

Mia : Hiiro,Shinn follow Mika and get the job done.Alright?

Shinn : (looking at Mika)

Mia : Shinn?

Hiiro : (smacks Shinn’s head) Wake up Shinn.Lets go

Shinn : Don’t do that again Hiiro.

Mika : After you,young men.

Shinn and Hiiro walked infront of Mika and none of them talk except Hiiro who kept babbling about the surrounding to Mika.Shinn cant say anything because he was so distracted about the fact Mika arrived earlier than him.Early by 40 minutes and how?

Mika : Alright,this is the room.I got Kei and his team in the room already and all you have to do is to get in that room for the fitting session MIzuhara-sama.

Kei : Ah where is my darling Shinn.OH there.Come here sweetie pie.We are behind schedule!(dragged Shinn into the fitting room)

Hiiro : So,Mika right?

Mika : Yes .

Hiiro : How did you aa….

Mika : Private jet.

Hiiro : (laughed)

Shou : HIIROOOOO!!!!

Mika :Im gonna go and settle other stuffs.I’ll see you when I see you.

Hiiro : …okay…?

Mika turned and walked towards the main section of the palace when Shou arrived at the spot where Hiiro is standing.

Shou: Who is that?

Hiiro : Who do you think?

Shou : Your new girlfriend?

Hiiro : I wish but no.

Shou: Who?

Hiiro: (grinned)

Shou : I KNOW WHO!Shinn’s?

Hiiro : New assistant.

Shou: Good god,she is attractive.

Hiiro : Alright,now keep your eyes off her Shou.You are too young for her.

Shou: Dude,I am 22 this year.

Hiiro : I bet she must be 25 this year .

Shou : Alright alright,I was just joking.Come,fitting session has started and you are late. Shinn is already here right?

Hiiro : Yeah.He is in the room now.

PANTRY

Mia : You are 22 years old?

Mika : 23.To be exact.

Mia :I haven’t got your family name though.If you don’t mind me asking..

Mika : (quiet)

Mia : Well its okay I--

Mika : No,no I don’t mind at all.It’s Akizuki Mika.

Mia : Akizuki?I wonder if we did have one with the same family name..

Mika : You did?

Mia : Oh nevermind.Its okay.Could be one of the actors (laughing)So,I don’t think they knew how you got here so fast,don’t they?

Mika : Most certainly they don’t and can I count on you not tell them?

Mia : About (making a gesture of riding a superbike) ?

Mika : (laughing) Yes,of course.

Mia : NO worries,your lovely secret is safe with me. Tea?(offering her a cup of tea)

Mika : Thank you Mia-san.

Mia : Are you married ?Mika-san?

Mika : I don’t think I look like I am married.

Mia : Do you have a boyfriend!?(lifting her eyebrows)

Mika : Fortunately no.Yes,no.

Mia : Not yet?(laughing)

Mika : Probably not yet hahahahaha.

Mia : (lean close to Mika) Have you…..

Mika : (looking at Mia with a puzzled face)…..what..

Mia : Have you done it?

Mika : Done it?Done what?

Mia : (lean closer) You know..you don’t have to be shy with me Mika-san.I have 3 children now (small grin)

Mika : I still..dont get you.

Mia : (whispers) Are you still a virgin?

Mika : (spurted her tea and cough non-stop)

Mia : Oh my god,let me get you a towel!(ran to the table top and grabbed a clean towel)

Mika : (wiping her face) Thank you,thank you.Sorry for aaa that.

Mia : (laughing) You haven’t eh?

Mika : (gulp) No.

Mia : Oh you are so cute Mika-san! I wonder who will be your first na…

Mia’s super cheerful and reckless self really gave Mika a big impact despite her soft look as a mother of 3.

Mika : (laughing) I don’t think this is such a good topic Mia-san..

Mia : Eh!This is important as you must consider who will be your first Mika-san! Don’t make the same mistake like I did (smirk)

Mika : What kind of mistake?

Mia : I can bet you are curious.

Before Mia could start her story suddenly Mika’s phone rang and it was an unknown number.

Mika : Hello?

Shinn : WHERE ARE YOU?

Mika : Where are you?What?Who is this?

Shinn : (pissed off) Excuse me.DO you know the haste of getting your number? I have to call Ishia-san and Shouji-san to get your number and both of them questioned the same thing.”Why didn’t you get her number earlier?”.You are not gonna make me shout again damn it.

Mika : (end the call) Its Mizuhara-sama.I better get going now.

Mia : Eh this is quite early.I’ll see you anytime soon then!Mika-chan!(smiles)

Mika bid Mia good bye and went towards the fitting room.She saw Shinn was leaning at the door frame with a very annoyed face.

Shinn : Why the hell did you end the call?

Mika : Why the hell did you babbled nonsense on the phone when I am just 2 minutes away from your standing point?

Shinn : Where were you?

Mika : (pointing at the pantry room)

Shinn : Well well well Miss.(lean close to Mika) Do you know beside the rules that Ishia-san gave you,there are extra rules that you must remember.

Mika : Fire away.What are they?

Shinn : ALWAYS WAIT FOR ME AND DON’T LET ME CALL YOU TO ASK WHERE ARE YOU.

Mika : I didn’t ask you to call me.In the schedule says,your fitting session is not set to finish in about 20 more minutes.

Shinn : I don’t care the schedule.I do whatever I want.

Mika : And you cant expect me to have telepathy and be here when you cant even consider the schedule I have in my brain.

Shinn : What do you have in your empty brain Mika-san?

Mika : Mouthful of rational words and comments.

Shinn : Oh really.Do you know that you lasted quite long to have not be fired by me today?

Mika : I shall keep that in mind.

Shinn : Well,we will look what will happen tonight then. You are suppose to work for until 6 everyday.

Mika : Which is 2 ½ hours from now.

Shinn : And I want you to get my dinner and bring it to the Kabuki Palace before I get there.Understand?

Mika : Understood.

Shinn : (looking at Mika)

Mika : Anything else to be added on your bucket list?

Shinn :Do you know what I want for my dinner?

Mika : Tuesday’s dinner is your typical ramen set from Kagara’s ramen Shop.Set no3 with extra soup and extra chilli powder with slices of red meat.Checked.

Shinn looked at Mika with a blank face.

Shinn : (speechless) how did..

Mika : Manners matter.Now lets get going.

Shinn : Don’t you ever let your hair down?

Mika stopped walking and turned around.

Mika : Excuse me?What?

Shinn : (shocked) No,nothing.Forget about it.

Mika : Good.

Suzu was already waiting at the car and he opened the door for Shinn and after that he went to Mika.

Suzu : How are you gonna go back Mika-san?

Mika : Don’t worry about me. I’ll survive.Drive carefully….

Suzu: Tomohiro Suzuki-des.You can call me Suzu.

Mika : Right,Suzu-san.Drive carefully. You have one heavy kid inside there.Make sure he will be early for dinner.

Suzu : Alright,roger that.I’ll see you at the palace then?I am so sorry that you cant ride together in the car..

Mika : Not a big deal Suzu-san.Go now.

Shinn : What are they talking about now.(annoyed)

Suzu quickly got into the car and waved at Mika before driving off.

Mika waited until the car is out of sight before walking towards her superbike and rode off.

Chapter 3

SHINN’s ROOM

Shinn : Who the hell are you?

Mika : (turned around)Yes?

Shinn : What are you doing in my room?

Mika : Your room-- oh. I was

Shinn : Shut up.Get out.(shouted)

Mika : Chill Mister.You don’t have to shout.

Shinn : GET OUT WOMAN.

Mika :Excuse me ,rude.

Shinn : Oh,which one is more rude.Sneaking into my room and stealing my stuffs.GET OUT.

Mika : Excuse me.Please mind your mouthful of junks

Mika did not move an inch at all.Shinn closed the door and walked towards her.

Shinn : Oh I get it,you must be another trash they found for me.I don’t need you so I better be done with you now.

Mika : (looking at Shinn with no expression at all)

Shinn : Or….

Mika stepped back one at a time as Shinn get closer.And when she hit the wall,Shinn smiled and in a flash he punched the wall beside Mika’sface and created a big hole. Mika’s face shows no expression and Shinn looked at her with a question mark on his face.He cant believe that Mika did not move an inch or shriek at all.

Shinn : (looking at Mika with a shocked face)

Mika : Do you really think that is gonna scare me?(rubbing the dust on her left shoulder)

Shinn was about to touc Mika’s face but then Mika caught his hand and twist them and in a swift she flipped him and he fell.In a flash

Shinn : (shriek)

At the same time,Yumi and Shouji arrived and quickly open the door.

Three of them were in a completed shocked to see Shinn lying on the floor mumbling about his aching hand and back while Mika is leaning on the wall as nothing has happened.

Yumi : oh my god.(looking at Shinn)

Shouji : This is something new here.(blinking his eyes)

Suzu : This is cool.Very cool.(looking at Shinn with a disbelief face)

Mika : I suppose you were right about this brat Ishia-san.

Shouji and Suzu tried to conceal their laugh when Mika called him “brat”.

Shinn : (stood up). Im sorry?

Mika :Apologize accepted.

Shinn : What.

Yumi : (laughed).im gonna like you more than ever Mika-san.

Shinn : Mika?

Shouji : May I introduce you,your new personal assistant.Mika. Mika-san,this is Mizuhara Shinn.

Mika : We shall get along pretty fine.Old-man.

Shinn : Did you just call me an old man?

Mika : How old are you?

Shinn : Im 34 damn it.

Mika : Old enough.

Shouji : Pretty sure,you guys will get along “pretty well”.

TEA ROOM

Shinn : (glaring at Mika)

Mika : (reading Shinn’s schedule)

Yumi :Alright then,I’ll leave Mizuhara-sama to you then.Mika-san?

Mika : No problem Ishia-san.

Shinn : No problem my ass.

Mika : I hope your ass is safe until you reach the Kazuki Golden Palace this evening young man.

Shinn : What do I have to do  there?

Mika : You have fitting session for the next upcoming show that is arranged to be near this ending of the month. Fitting session would last around 3 hours.I hope you survive.

Shinn : Kazuki is 45 minutes from here.Have you called the driver? (smirks)Or you don’t even know who to call ? I knew it.Another useless assistant.

Mika : He is ready ,outside.

Suzu : (waving from outside)

Shinn : (annoyed).

Mika : Gear up young man.Get both of your brains working. (stood up)

Shinn : (smug) First rule you have to know Mika-san. None of my personal assistant got to ride with me in the car.

Yumi : (sigh) NO worries,I can arrange a car for you Mika-san.

Mika : No need Ishia-san.No worries.I can deal with this.

Shinn : (stood up)Yes Ishia-san.You don’t have to do everything for this new stranger.

Mika : After you*bows(ignoring Shinn’s statement)

Shinn : Shut up.(annoyed)

Shinn walked towards the car and Suzu opened the door and bid Mika and Yumi goodbye before driving off.

Mika : (checking her iPhone) The traffic is quite congested this hour.

Yumi : It is lunch hour Mika-san.How are you gonna find a taxi or are you planning to take the bus?

Mika : No worries  Ishia-san.I know what to do.Well then,i’ll see you soon then(bows and went out through the main gate)

Yumi : Oh god,I should have called for a car.another car.

Shouji : What what?What  happened.   

Yumi : I am afraid that Mika-san is gonna get fired today.

Shouji : What made you say so?

Yumi : Shinn and his number one rule.

Shouji : OH that one.The previous one got fired because she insisted to get in the same car right?

Yumi : Tragic incident .But I really really like this one.

Shouji : You said the same thing two years ago.

Yumi : I don’t think we should talk about that one.

Shouji : Pardon me then.I should get going.

Yumi : (sigh) Alright me too.

The traffic was quite congested that the cars are  moving so slow and none of the vehicles on the road are moving anywhere except bikers and cyclists.

Suzu : A busy day indeed Mizuhara-sama.I think this is gonna take longer than 1 hour.

Shinn :I had enough annoyance for today Suzu.The traffic,this morning,sister and that new girl

Suzu: Mika-san eh?(laughing while looking at side mirrors)

Suddenly there were a loud engine screeching sound that made Shinn looked back and he saw a rider riding a black matte superbike going  in between the congested traffic  and passed by Shinn’ s car.

Suzu : That is so bloody cool.Maybe we should get one.

Shinn : And ,I have to ride behind you?Good Idea.(laughed)

Suzu : Why not (laughing)

Shinn eyed the rider wearing black leather jacket as it pass through all cars and got through the traffic light in a flash because it was riding so fast. Shinn then ignored the surrounding and thought of the new girl

Shinn : What do you think about the new annoying assistant?

Suzu : I have no idea.Never got the chance to talk to her.But she sure have a pretty hair.

Shinn : Hmmph.All I can think of how in the world is she gonna get to Kazuki before me.I doubt any trains and buses would be a big help at this moment.

Suzu : The nearest train station would be 10 minutes from the Kazuki place.If you take a bus of course.If you are walking, probably took about 15 to 20 or more.Considering the weather now.Kazuki is Ikebukuro.It would be about 10 stops? From Tokyo Station?

Shinn : I am sure I can fire her today.

Suzu : I have no idea Shinn,I mean Mizuhara-sama.

Shinn : (laughing) That would pay of the humiliation for this morning

The thought of Mika making him fell own after twisting his arm had made his brain drained because it was a first for him.

Chapter 2

THE NEXT DAY

At a small corner of the town ,near the KABUKI PALACE located at one end of Tokyo. There are streets of garden and small shops in front of the palace and it was indeed very busy but not as busy at the Central of Tokyo.

Mika : Now now ,Tsuzuku should have told me this palace is near to this shop!

Narumi : Eh!Mika-san!What are you doing here early in the morning?

Narumi is a middle aged woman, Minami’s friend who owns a small flower shop with a mini bakery .Narumi has been taking care of Mika since she moved in into Haruna’s house.She has daughter Saki,who works as a teacher at one of the Secondary School in that area.

Mika : I have work today Narumi-san.I have a favor to ask(smiles)

Narumi : Sure my sweet,anything.

Mika : (unzipping her leather jacket) Mind if I park my bike here?And leave  my riding jacket for the day?

Narumi : Anything for you.I’ll have Saki to keep your leather jacket safe alright?

Mika : Thank you so much Narumi-san!I owe you!

Narumi : First day of work ?

Mika : indeed!I must get going!See you !(waves)

Narumi : Good luck Mika-san!

Mika prefer to walk or maybe appear as a normal young girl by walking to the palace from Narumi’s shop which took only few minutes and that eases everything for her.

She arrived at the main gate and she saw that the small gate is unlocked.Maybe,there were expecting her indeed.

Mika : Now,what.(walked in)

Mika closed the door behind her and to her surprise,the palace has a very beautiful garden and small fish ponds in between the small bridges and flowers.

Mika : Beautiful…

Shouji : Young lady?You must be the new girl?

Mika : New girl?

Shouji : IM sorry,I mean the new assistant to our Young Man?

Mika :Young man?Ah yes.I am Mika.Call me Mika.

Shouji : What a beautiful name.Call me Shouji.I am the leader of the housekeeping here.I shall lead you to your workplace.

Mika : Alright,thank you so much Shouji-san

Shouji : How old are you young lady?

Mika : I am 23 this year.

Shouji : Half my age!You sure are young and energetic! And old man like me would nothave that much energy like these youth nowadays(laughing)

Mika : Youth are scary indeed.

Shouji : Im glad you understand despite you are young too,Mika-san.Alright,this is our Young Man’s room.You may wait here until I call Yumi to assist you alright Mika.Dont be afraid.Nothing is gonna harm you here(winks)

Mika : NO worries,Shouji-san.I am perfectly fine.(smiles)

Shouji closed the sliding door and went to main working room

Mika is left alone in the room and her eyes eyed everything in the room.She did that because she was feeling a wee bit nervous and she thought she missed having that feeling. Mika saw a few photos on the cupboard and it was too far she cant make up the faces.Suddenly,there was a knock on the door and a middle aged woman dressed in pale brown yukata came in.

Yumi : Good Morning my dear.You must be the new assistant?I am Ishia Yumi.Nice to meet you (smiles)

Mika thought she had never saw a very bright smile until now that she cant take her eyes off the beautiful Yumi.

Mika : (snapped out ) Oh yes yes,I am Mika.Nice to meet you Ishia-san.(bows)

Yumi : Alright,since you are new.I will guide on your tasks of  being Shinn’s assistant.I  mean,Mizuhara-sama.

Mika : (nods)

Yumi explained all the tasks of being the personal assistant to the youngest member of the MIzuhara family and it took only about 5 minutes and she was done.

Yumi : that will be all.No hard work.So no worries.Mizuhara-sama is not so traditional so you guys can match.I mean,you guys can get along.Except that,I don’t think you are the type that gets angry easily right?

Mika :it depends..

Yumi :One thing only,MIzuhara-sama is very picky and annoying(laughing) But I am very very sure you are better at handling him rather than the pervious ones.

Mika : Previous ones?

Yumi : yes,we had about 20 of them for the past few months.And all of them were fired by him.tragic I know.I hope you can stay longer compared to the one before this.

Mika : May I ask,how long did the previous one last?

Yumi : About 3 hours.

Mika :Are you kidding me.

Yumi : I like you already!

Mika : Eh?

Yumi : that could be a first for an answer since 2 years ago I suppose.Usually I will get answers like “ I will be the best and stud” the previous ones are useless and most of them are more interested about Mizuhara-sama.

Mika : How is that possible damn it.

Yumi : I really really like you now.(laughed)Alright,I should get going now.He should be here anytime soon so,make yourself comfortable alright Mika-san?

Yumi stood and bows before leaving the room

Mika :Interesting job I have here(sigh)

Mila walked around the big empty room to look at the photos and she looked at them one by one.

Mika : So this must be that Shinn.So old… he must be what.45? or maybe 55? Or wait,65.

Hiro : That is the eldest brother.

Mika : (shocked and turned around)

Hiiro was leaning at the door frame looking at her.

Hiiro : Don’t be shocked.Came by to say hi.I am Hiiro.Nice to meet you.

Mika :Mika.Nice to meet you.*bows

Hiiro : I want to chat longer but I’ll make sure we will but I have to go now.See you soon!(walked towards the main gate)

Mika : that was damn random.What just happened.(shakes her head)

MEANWHILE AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PALACE

Yumi : He is here?

Shouji : Eh?you didn’t met him while briefing Mika?

Yumi : I didn’t!

Suzu (the driver) : He was in complete anger when he got into the car.Didnt know what has gotten into him.I am sure there will be another hole,or holes on the wall…

Shouji and Yumi : SERIOUS!?

Shouji : You didn’t left Mika in his room right?

Suzu : Who is Mika?

Yumi : I did! Oh my,I am so dead.

Shouji :We have to get going.

Suzu : Wait,what what?

Yumi : Shut up Suzu,follow us!

Shouji and Yumi quickly ran towards Shinn’s room,Suzu trying hard to follow them because both of them walked too fast

Yumi : You should have told me he has arrived Suzu!

Suzu : I was about alright,was about!(panting)

Shouji : God save us please

Chapter 1 - The Spring

It was a windy morning in Tokyo,everyone is busy walking to work,walking to the bus station and everyone is getting ready for another Monday. But,not at the other side of Tokyo,the calmer side of Tokyo where people can just do “hanami” during this blossoming season of April with no hustle bustle of the town people.

AT THE PARK

Mika : Cant believe you actually did that?

Haruna : Oh well,he was the one who started it,cant let him win all the time right?

Mika : (playing with her matte black helmet)

Mika is leaning on her black superbike while talking to her child-hood friend of 16 years, Kawasa Haruna.Mika’s image is completely different compared to the sweet Haruna. Mika loves wearing leather on leather just because she rides the superbike all the time.While,Haruna prefer casual pastel colors clother but that difference never fails to bring them closer each day.Mika and Haruna have been living together since both of them were 5.

Mika : (wearing her helmet and stuffing her hair inside it)

Haruna : Eh,going already?

Mika : I guess so..

Somewhere at the park,a young girl with a brunette hair were leaning on the bench, waiting for someone for her boyfriend.She was searching her handbag when all of a sudden a guy with a face mask and baggy clothes grabbed her handbag and pushed her.She was in a sudden shock that her voice cant scream out for help.That guy ran away with her handbag,as fast as he can.

Haruna : What happened!?

Mika :(turn on her engine ) Oh damn it.

Mika speed after the guy with her superbike and stopped a few meter infront of of the snatcher.She removed her helmet to reveal her dark wavy hair,she quickly threw the helmet to the guy and the helmet  hit his head,and he fell.

Mika : (walking towards the guy)

Guy : You!damn it!(tried to stand up)

Mika swiftly kicked his face so hard with her leather thick-heeled boots and the guy fainted.

Mika : I told you,no crime in my town.Dude.(picked the hand bag)

Haruna : (ran towards Mika)

Mika : Haruna,call the police please.Thank you.

Mika searched for the lady just now and spotted her .She walked to the lady to return her handbag.

The lady picked something up,and it was a silver necklace with a small sapphire pendant.

LADY : It cant be…

Mika : Are you alright?

Lady : (showing her the necklace) I suppose you dropped this?

Mika : Eh?(touching her neck and realized her necklace is not there) My necklace.Thank you so much

Lady : No no,I should thank you!You are such a life saver.(smiles sweetly)

Mika and the Lady exchanged smiles as they returned their belongings and suddenly a guy dressed in all black walked towards them and got in between Mika and the lady

Guy : Whatis this? What is happening?What are you trying to do to my girlfriend?(looking at Mika)

Mika : (sigh) Annoying.

Guy : Are you alright?Are you alright? Did this delinquent tried to do something to you?

Lady : Delinquent!? Oh my no,she saved me Shinn! You are so rude.I am so sorry dear

Mika : Its okay.Better get your handbag check if you lost anything.Goodbye(turns away)

Shinn : What happened Rina?

Rina : (looking at Mika)

Shinna looked at the same direction too.Mika walked towards the guy to pick her helmet and got onto her bike and rode away.

Rina : Found her.

2 YEARS LATER

Haruna : Eh!?

Mika :Go die,Tsuzuku.Die.

Tsuzuku : But,you asked me to find a job for you.Why not?It would be fun indeed to work at the Kabuki Palace!

Haruna : I cant imagine Mika,our Mika working at a such traditional environment…

Tsuzuku : I don’t think she would need to wear a kimino. She will be Mizuhara-san personal assistant that’s all.its not like she would need be dressed like the kabuki actors too Haruna.(smugs)

Haruna : So,Mika?

Mika : (sigh)

Odera Minami ,Haruna and Tsuzuku mother brought them fruits from the kitchen and heard their conversation.

Minami : Mika-chan,why not. At least,you wont be bored working here right?

Mika : Oka-san thinks the same too ?

Minami : Anything for the best of us Mika-chan (smiles)

Haruna : Give it a try?Please please please?

Tsuzuku : Please spare my life.I cant call them and tell them I have found no one.

Mika : (looking at all of them) Alright.I’ll take it.

Tsuzuku : THANK YOU MIKA I LOVE YOU!!!

Mika : Shut up Tsuzuku.I am saving your life because you saved mine the last time.So we are even now.

Haruna : time for you to borrow my clothes then!

Minami : (laughing)

Tsuzuku : Cant wait to call them!

Mika : Wait,what do I have to do?

Tsuzuku : You will be the famous Mizuhara family of Kabuki assistant.

Mika : Who?

Minami : Mizuhara family is very famous for their endless generation of Kabuki shows.
