Searching for Him

1

Her strawberry blonde hair blew in the wind as she stepped out of the airport. Her sunglasses covered eyes looked at her new surroundings, yeah, she was in Japan alright. Everything was completely different from what she was used to back at home. Thankfully, she quickly found her ride to take her to her hotel for the next week or so.

She wasn't exactly coming into Japan to find her 'true love' or whatever but more of an alliance. Everything depended on how this supposed 'future husband' was, and if he approved of her plan from the beginning. Of course, she had to go and see what his father thought first. If she was approved by his father and his son was willing to go along with her plan, they both would be fine in the end of all this shenanigans.

'Now to change into something appropriate.' She rummaged through her clothes and found a white dress with pink polka dots, and a pair of nude heels. She put her hair up in a messy ponytail, fixed her mascara and eyeliner, and added some tinted lip balm. One quick glance in the mirror and she made her way out of her hotel and towards her destination. Using her phone as a GPS, she managed her way to their house.

'You've arrived at your destination.' She stopped in front of a large gate. She was about to press the intercom button when she heard a voice behind her.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" She turned around and saw a boy around her age. He had half white and half red hair, a scar around his left eye, with mismatched eyes. He was wearing a dark pair of jeans, and a black v-cut t-shirt, the dark colors made him look mysterious but oh so handsome. Even with the heels she was wearing she was still shorter than him, so she had to look up to him. His eyes were intense looking down at her waiting for her to answer his question.

"Uh..I'm sorry I was just looking for a Mr. Enji Todoroki. My father sent me. Do you uh...live here?" She played with the corner of her phone, while she spoke to him. He looked her over, evaluating her.

"Yes. Come with me." he told her. She watched him punch in a code in the pin pad and proceed to walk inside. She walked a step behind him, trying to figure out this guy.

'Is this him? He looks to be around my age, but would he agree to what I want.' He could feel her eyes on him as they walked.

"What businesses do you have with my father?" he asked her. She opened her mouth to respond when another voice spoke.

"Shoto, where have you been? And who is this girl with you?" the man half spoke half yelled.

"I'm sorry to intrude sir. My name is Emily, and my father, Christian, sent me here to give you this letter. He told me to come find you at your home, since what's in the letter is a delicate matter." The boy with duo colored hair, looked at his father and then at the girl. She was playing with the corner of her phone, biting the bottom of her lip.

Who was she? And what matters does her father and mine have? He thought. He kept wondering of the different possibilities that they could have going on until his father brought him back from his thoughts.

"This is very interesting indeed. When is your father coming, to talk it over in person?" Enji asked the girl.

"He should be arriving in three or four days. Depending on some circumstances back at home." she told him. She looked through her purse and took out a small business card and handed it to him. "That's his contact information, if you would like to speak to him and confirm when he'll be here." He took the card, and put it inside of the envelope, putting it inside the suit jacket.

"Very well then. Shoto, keep her company until I get home." He looked sternly at the boy and walked around them not waiting for an answer. She could see him clench his jaw, probably not enjoying the idea of entertaining some random girl. He turned to fully face her and she just smiled at him still playing with the corner of her phone.
