Assistant [Nagikae and Karmanami AU]

Chapter 1: Assistant

Akari's pov

I strolled on in the office. Nothing seemed out of place. And nobody was looking at me too much.

I looked around a little more. And there, I found someone interesting. I stopped immediately at their cubicle and watched him. It took him a few seconds to notice me standing there. But when he finally did he sat up straight and looked me in the eyes.

"Hi there. You must be new here." His blue eyes shown brightly in the fluorescent lights. I was captivated. "My name's Shiota Nagisa. And you?"

I blushed lightly and jumped back a little. "Uh, well my name's Yukimura Akari. It's nice to meet you, Mr. Shiota." I bowed.

He smiled sheepishly and waved his hands no. "Please don't call me that. Here they call me by my first name."

I lifted my head up. But before I could respond, the phone at his desk rang.

As he went over to it, I swear he swore uder his breathe.

"What is it now?" He picked up the phone.

I didn't catch what was being said on the other line, but I knew that Nagisa wasn't the happiest.

"Okay I'll be sure to pick some up after I'm done." He hung up.

Seconds later, the phone rang yet again. And he went to pick it up, with a happier tone.

Who was he just talking to? He said he'd pick something up after he done. Done with what?! His shift probably? Moving on.

Who was he talking to? It sounded a lot like a female. And younger girl, to be precise.

"Yukimura?" Nagisa snapped his fingers. "My manager wants to see you. We better get going." He stood up.

I examined his height. He was around 5'4.

4 inches taller then me. But then again, I was wearing 3 inch heals so I was one inch off.

Once again, Nagisa snapped me out of my daze with a snap of his fingers. Only this time, he had a chilling aura around him.

"Let's. Go." He said.

I stood there. Unable to move.

This guy's scary.

Nagisa sighed and grabbed my hand, smiling sweetly. The aura seemed to of vanished.

He pulled me along and gripped on my hand gently... Wait a minute.

He's holding my hand... He's holding my hand?... He's holding my hand!

I felt heat rise to my face. This felt so weird for me. I've never had a guy hold my hand other then for my acting job.

"In here." He opened a classic wooden door.

Inside was what most would expect. A tall potted plant in the corner alongside a large window. With a big metal desk with all the Essentials on it, and a trash can next to it.

"Ah, it's nice to see you finally came in. Considering you're right down he hall." The strawberry blonde frowned.

"Sorry, sir." Nagisa apologized. "... Now out of the topic, Ms. Yukimura is here now."

"How nice." The man smiled at me. "By the way, my name's Asano."

"Of course. Now, Mr. Asano, I'd like to know where I'll be working." I smiled back.

"Hm? You'll just be working around like the rest." He pulled out a file and handed it over. "Here's all you need for now. Now, Nagisa,"

Nagisa snapped his attention to Asano.

"I'd like you to help out Yukimura with anything. And, Yukimura, feel free to ask anything of Nagisa for now, even if it's outside of work." His smile went a little dark. "Even though, you're under him considering your position. Now get out."

Both of us complied and left his office.

Under him? What is that supposed to mean?

I opened the folder and read to my self the job.

"A-sis-tant?" I said to myself.
