“Kuga Natsuki?”
One blue haired woman and one red headed one looked at the small man that comes out of the door of the office, the blue haired woman stood up followed by the red headed one.
Nagi smiled and looked at the blue haired woman first. She was tall, if his calculation was right; she stood at around five feet 4 inches, an inch shorter than Fujino Shizuru, Reito Kanzaki’s sister and the one looking for a new girl-Friday. A grin crept up his face as he studied the blue haired woman’s clothes. She was wearing a business suit, a midnight blue fitting skirt paired with a plain white blouse with large raffles that were situated around her neck and were continuous down to a level below her chest, the raffles serving as the blouse’s ‘tie’ of sort. The white blouse was covered by a midnight blue colored women’s suit. Looking down, Nagi’s smile widened at the woman’s newly shaved, stocking-less legs more pronounced by her dark blue, low heeled sandals that showed a well pedicured nails.
The small, white haired man was not aware of the death glare he was receiving from the blue haired woman as his ‘perverted’ mind occupied all of his brain (1).
“Have you seen something you like?” It was the red head who spoke and broke the man’s thoughts
Nagi looked up and grin, “So I thought Kanzaki has three more applicants to interview…why are there four of you?” He asked
“First of all midget,” Nao said grinning
“Don’t you dare call me midget!” Nagi growled
“So you’d rather be called pervert than midget?” Nao said making the smaller man boil in anger
Nagi looked at Nao angrily, “If you are Kuga Natsuki I advised that…” he was interrupted by someone grabbing his suit from the back and lifting him up. He was so embarrassed that his face turned red once he faced the one who carried him
“I am Kuga Natsuki.” The blue haired woman said, “Can’t you tell by the way I wear my clothes?” She asked
Nagi started fidgeting until Natsuki dropped him and he fell on his butt. He stood up and smoothen his suit before facing the blue haired woman again, “No. Are you here to apply for a secretarial work?” he asked with a frown
Natsuki looked at Nao and the two women looked at Natsuki’s clothing, “Hey! What’s wrong with her wearing this suit? We bought it fair and square!” Nao said glaring at the small guy
“Besides I am applying as the Gambler Kami’s assistant, so I should look presentable!” Natsuki said with her head raised up high. She scowled when the little man started chuckling, “Why the hell are you laughing?” Natsuki asked
Nagi shook his head, “My Name is Nagi…”he raised his palms against the two women, “…don’t ask about my surname because I’m not telling you.” He smiled, “I am Kanzaki Reito’s assistant, so if you’re applying for that job I’m sad to say but that job is already taken.” He grinned, “But I could use an assistant…”
“What the hell are you talking about?” Nao was the one who interrupted the little man, she took a piece of paper and shoved it in front of Nagi’s face, “And what the hell is this add for?” she asked angrily
The white haired man put on a very small, round glass on his eyes and read it, “Oh that…” he said and shrugged, “That would be explained by Kanzaki-san’s.” He said then looked at Natsuki, “So? Are you applying for that…”
He stopped talking when he was angrily shoved to the side by the blue haired woman, “I’m going in!”
Natsuki with Nao started walking towards the closed door when Nagi shouted, “Hey! Only Kuga is allowed to enter!”
Nao stopped and turned around, “I am Kuga’s manager! And that Kanzaki will have to answer to me. I have to make sure that he is not going to double cross my talent!” Nao said huffing before turning around and following Natsuki who stopped advancing to wait for her
“WHAT?!” Nagi
Nao smiled at Natsuki and winked. The blue haired woman leaned side ward and whispered, “You’re the man Nao!” she said elbowing the red headed woman
“Ha! I’m not going to let a midget like that boss around my talent!” Nao said stroking her nose with a thumb, “Not under my watch.” She added
Natsuki grinned, “I guess you earned your share very well then!”
Silence
Nao stopped Natsuki when the blue haired woman hold on to the door’s knob, “You know that the 50 percent includes the one the Kanzaki will be paying you right?” the red head asked grinning
“WHAT?!” That was Natsuki now
“Okay…calm down, we don’t want to scare Kanzaki off, remember…no Kanzaki job…no money!”
Natsuki growled but did not say anything as Nao pushed the door open.

“So what’s the news?” Shizuru asked the younger woman who just got inside the library
“Lots of women, but Mai is still the fairest!” Mikoto said grinning
“Really? So who are you? Mikoto the Prince Charming?” Chie teased the smaller raven haired woman
“No. I’m snow white!” Mikoto said returning the tease, “But there were these two women who keep on fighting while waiting. They’re funny and…” Mikoto looked at Shizuru, “The one with blue hair looks cute!” Mikoto rolled her eyes upward as if she was thinking, “Well if she wasn’t wearing that old style clothes, she’ll probably pass your taste nee-chan!”
Shizuru and Chie looked at each other
“So you think that blue haired woman is your sister’s type?” Chie asked
Mikoto frowned, “How many times have we heard Shizuru nee-chan talking about that greasy woman anyways?” the smaller woman asked, “And all Shizuru nee-chan could remember was her blue hair!”
“Is she wearing your sister’s scarf?” Chie asked
“No…and she’s clean and greaseless!” Mikoto chimed, “Oh…yeah that, so that woman is not my nee-chan’s type!”
Shizuru looked at Mikoto, “Ara…how can Mikoto-chan tell that?”
Mikoto grinned at the chestnut haired woman, “Because she’s clean and greaseless!”
The Fujino heiress frowned at her little sister, “So you’re saying that I only go for the dirty, greasy type of woman?”
Mikoto looked at Chie
“Come to think of it…that could be the reason that no matter who you date, you always find fault in them! You never liked any of them despite their status and wealth!” Chie grinned, “You’re a sucker of dirty, greasy woman!” at that, Mikoto and Chie started laughing at Shizuru’s expense
“Enough!” Shizuru stood up and hit the table hard
“Oh…touché!” Chie teased
Shizuru glared at her friend and then at her sister, “I’m going to look at those women myself!” she said before marching out of the library
“Oi wait Shizuru, we’re coming!” Chie shouted and followed her friend. She was on the other hand being followed by Mikoto

Shizuru, Chie and Mikoto stopped in their tracks when they suddenly heard a ruckus at the lobby where the women applicants were waiting. It seemed to them that Shizuru and Mikoto’s brother’s assistant Nagi is in a very sticky situation. So the three decided to hid themselves while they watch what is going to happen next
“My Name is Nagi, don’t ask about my surname because I’m not telling you. I am Kanzaki Reito’s assistant, so if you’re applying for that job I’m sad to say but that job is already taken. (pause) But I could use an assistant…”
“That Nagi brat! Isn’t he leering at that blue haired woman?” Chie growled
The youngest of the women elbowed Shizuru, “That nee-chan was the woman I was talking about!” Mikoto whispered
“Ara…” Shizuru smiled at the sight before her. “What the hell are you talking about? And what the hell is this add for?” her smile widened at how the two women deal with the small man, “That red head sure is one feisty woman.” Shizuru said
“Yeah…I believe Mai-san found a match in her!” Chie said
Mikoto looked at Chie frowning, “Oi! I’m the one matched with Mai!”
Chie looked down at the smaller woman, “Gomen Mikoto…I forgot you’re here.” She teased
“Chie-chan!” Mikoto whined
“Hush!” Shizuru put a finger across her lips
“I’m going in!”
“Hey! Only Kuga is allowed to enter!”
“I am Kuga’s manager! And that Kanzaki will have to answer to me. I have to make sure that he is not going to double cross my talent!”
“Whoa…Manager?” Chie asked
Mikoto frown, “Why does someone who’s applying as nee-chan’s girl-Friday needs a manager?” the young woman asked
“Beats me!” Chie replied
“Ara…it’ll be fun having her…” Shizuru said pointing a finger at the now entering blue haired woman, “…as my girl-Friday ne?”
Chie and Mikoto looked at Shizuru, “You decided already?” Chie asked
“I thought you’re not going to be biased nee-chan?”
Shizuru smiled at her two companions, “I wonder how she’ll fare with Haruka-chan?” she thought
That idea made Chie grin and Mikoto to shiver

Kanzaki Reito was silent. He was sitting at his presidential chair behind a well crafted, wooden table and behind him were cabinets full of books. He was eyeing the blue haired girl who was sitting at the chair to his right, and trying to ignore the red headed woman reading the add.
“So…you’re ‘assistant’,” Nao made a quote-unquote motion to the air “…said that the position is already taken, so what’s this add for? Are you trying to make fun of us?” Nao asked irritated
Kanzaki smiled at Natsuki then looked at Nao calmly, “Please forgive me if the add seemed to be misleading.” He smiled at the red head, “We are indeed in need of an assistant but…”
“Someone has beaten us to it already?” Natsuki interrupted with a sad face
Kanzaki smiled at her, “You know what, you look familiar?” he asked trying to dig up his memories as to where she have seen the woman
“Well yeah I should be…AWWW!” Natsuki’s tirade was stopped by Nao stepping on her foot and glaring at her
Natsuki’s eyes widened at Nao as if silently asking: What the hell was that for? And Nao returned the wide eyes, her green orbs telling Natsuki: Do you want him to know you’re the street bum? Do you even want this job?
At that Natsuki nodded and sighed deeply
“Am I missing something?” Reito asked after noticing the interchange between the two women
“Ah no.” Nao said smiling at the handsome man sweetly, “So you said you are still in need of the assistant?” Nao smiled when Kanzaki nodded, “But I sense a ‘but’ here, so tell us.” Nao implored
“Well…I’m not the one looking for an assistant, as you have learned, Nagi, the small man who called you is my assistant and he already signed a lifetime contract about that.”
Natsuki and Nao looked at each other with dread
“But my sister Shizuru is looking for one.” Kanzaki smiled and cleared his throat, “Actually, my sister is looking for a girl-Friday.”
Natsuki frowned, “Girl-Friday? You mean she needs a girl during Fridays only?” she asked causing the handsome man to laugh
“Baka!” Nao interjected, “He meant…” Nao looked at Kanzaki who was looking at her patiently waiting for her explanation, “He…he meant she needs an assistant and that Friday will be her only day off?” Nao said
Kanzaki didn’t hid his amusement by this but he tried hard not to laugh out loud, “Close enough…” he said looking with mirth at Nao
Nao grinned and looked at Natsuki, “’told yah! I know that!” she said
Natsuki slumps her shoulder and pouted, “Yeah-yeah…go on laugh at me!” Natsuki said sadly then looked at Reito, “So is the position still open?”
Kanzaki’s eyes brightened at the two’s funny exchange, “You two have no idea how important the position isn't it?” he smiled, “Well girl-Friday is an idiom that is used to describe an especially faithful female servant. It is also used to describe a girl or woman who is employed in an office to do several different jobs, helping other people and the like.”
“Servant?” Nao asked after looking at Kanzaki
“Well by the meaning of the words Girl Friday, yes the position is about being a faithful servant of my sister. She’ll be with my sister on all occasion, she’ll accompany her anywhere she goes, do whatever she asked her to do and help her out even with the smallest things she needs.” Reito explained
Silence
“How many of the applicants have agreed to do this job?” Natsuki asked I might be a poor woman but being a servant is not what I have in mind when I took this job!
“You’re the 16th applicant and I already reached my limit for interview and explanation so I let Nagi take care of the last two outside.” Kanzaki said
“So all the other 15 applicants before me agreed to the situation?” Natsuki asked
Silence
“No.” Kanzaki said sighing deeply, “They all thought that I’m the one looking for an assistant and they automatically left once I explained to them what I really need.”
Silence
“When can she start?” Nao asked
Natsuki’s eyes widened, “NAO!”
Nao glared at Natsuki and then looked at Kanzaki with a smiled, “Can you please excuse us for a moment?” Nao asked
“Sure.” Kanzaki said smiling at the two this interview by far is the strangest yet the most lively one he thought, that blue haired woman really looks familiar…where did I met her?

Nao pulled Natsuki at the corner of the room, “What the hell are you thinking?”
The blue haired woman scowled, “Oi, I might be poor and homeless, but I’m not going to be anyone’s servant!” Natsuki said angrily
“So what do you want to do with your life? Live in that dumpster forever and run away from the people you owed money to? Don’t you like to feel how it is to earn money?” Nao asked the seething blue haired woman
“I could look for a job…”
“Like what? You can’t even read and write! You can’t be a thief forever because you’re not even good at it! You can’t gamble with your life because you’re a bad luck covered in flesh and hair!” Nao took a deep breath, “This is your only chance to put into good use that strings of bad luck you have so don’t waste it!”
“Fuck Nao! Takeda wants me by Kanzaki’s side, not by his sister’s side!”
Silence
“Okay I get your point but even if Takeda knows, then you cans till have a job if they accept you!” Nao reasoned
“How about my debt? If Takeda knows about me not being with Kanzaki, he’ll hunt me to collect my debt and then they will know who I am and kick me out of here!”
Silence again
“Then Takeda shouldn’t know.” Nao said
“How?” Natsuki
“It’s not as if he comes here right? He hates Kanzaki’s gut.” Nao said and smiled when Natsuki nodded, “So we’re on?”
“Yeah…you help me out?”
“Of course, I’m your manager remember?”
The two women walked back to Kanzaki’s table and their eyes widened when they saw ‘others’ with Kanzaki.
“Oh please be seated, don’t worry we don’t bite.” The chestnut haired woman who was standing behind Kanzaki said, motioning for the two women to take a sit
Nao and Natsuki nodded and sat themselves on their respective chairs
“This is my sisters Shizuru,” Reito stroked Shizuru’s exposed hand, “…and Mikoto.” He introduced and pointed a finger on the sitting smaller raven haired woman next to a taller one on a large couch inside the office, “The one next to Mikoto is Harada Chie…”
“Harada Chie? The actress Harada Chie?” Nao asked with wide eyes
“Heh! Guilty!” Chie said raising a hand and scratching her head
“Ahrm…” Reito smiled at the two women, “Harada-san here is my sister Shizuru’s friend along with Suzushiro Haruka and Kikukawa Yukino, if you decide to accept the job, you’ll be seeing much of them here.” He said, “Shizuru is the one looking for a girl-Friday…”
“Yeah! I don’t need one because I have Mai with me!” Mikoto interrupted
Reito looked at his youngest sibling, “I hear that Mikoto-chan,” he then returned his focus on the two women, “Shizuru’s girl-Friday Aoi is getting married with Chie-chan so that position will be vacated hence we devised this plan to get an ‘assistant’ of sort to my sister.”
Nao looked at Chie, “You…you’re gay?” she asked
Chie frowned, “Why? Is that a problem?”
“I’m gay too!” Mikoto said, “I love Mai!” she added
That caused Reito to laugh, “What a coincidence that all my sisters are gay ne?”
Natsuki looked at Shizuru and blushed when she found the crimson eyed woman looking at her oh my…this woman looks cute when she blush! Shizuru thought as she gave Natsuki her most dazzling smile
Kami-sama…this woman is so beautiful, is it possible for any human to be this stunning as if she was a goddess? Natsuki thought as her face reddens more and her heart hammered inside her chest
“So…did you two made a decision?” Reito asked
“Yes.” Nao said, “Natsuki will take the job.”
Reito, Shizuru, Mikoto and Chie all smiled, “Well, then maybe I could reschedule the other two applicant’s interview so that my sister here could have at least a choice as to who…”
“WHAT?!” Nao barked, “You asked us to accept then let us wait for the others decision? What kind of a frank is that?”
“Ara…I see Mai really did have a match right here in front of us!” she said and giggled
God…why can’t I say anything about this, it’s like I’ve been turned into stone after looking into her red eyes…she’s like IO…was that the woman with many snakes in her head? Jeez…too bad she’ll kill me before I learn the right answer… Natsuki thought, not minding the voices around her
“Nii-chan,” Shizuru said placing a hand on Reito’s shoulder, “I believe you don’t need to interview the other two applicants, I already made a choice and I’m taking her.” Shizuru said pointing at Natsuki
The declaration deflated Nao, “Good choice Shizuru-sama, Natsuki here is like a work horse, she could do anything she can even lift a car…”
Natsuki’s enchanted mind heard what Nao was saying and her eyes widened, “Nao!”
“Ara…what a nice name, Natsuki.” She said it like it was a very sweet ice cream cake that melts in her mouth. The voice sent shivers down Natsuki’s spine, “When will my Natsuki likes to start?”
The sensual way of Shizuru’s question brought another bout of blush on Natsuki’s face
“He…I think I’m delaying my vacation with Aoi to see this…” Chie said grinning
Natsuki was still in trance as Shizuru stepped closer to her. She leaned forward to whisper on the blue haired woman’s ear, her cheek almost touching with Natsuki’s, “Can Natsuki starts…now?” the words were followed by Shizuru licking her own lips, causing the tip of her tongue to touch Natsuki’s ear lobe
BLAG
The sound of Natsuki falling off her chair…unconscious
“Ara? Is Natsuki-chan sick?” Shizuru asked in her most innocent voice
“Ru-chan!” Kanzaki called out to warn his sister. He was on his feet at once to help the blue haired woman who was now lying unconscious on his office’s floor. Nao was standing and hovering Natsuki in bewilderment. Mikoto and Chie were clutching their sides as they laughed out loud
“KUGA! I can’t believe you’ll faint on your first day of the job!” Nao yelled
“I didn’t know I have that effect on my new girl-Friday?” Shizuru asked no one, but an evil-sexy smirk was pasted on her face
“Ru-chan…if you keep doing this, you will have in your hand the very first dead girl-Friday by blushing!” Reito said chastising her younger sister
