3 weeks after arriving at America....

Asuna's POV:

I walked on a lovely stone path, passing one grave from another. Finally I stopped at one specific grave. One that has only been placed last week.

I placed perfect white lilies on the grave, and kneeled as I clasped my hands together, my head bowed. "Uncle Rintraou. . . . I promise that your hard work on your dream won't fail. . . . . Your dream to make life a little bit easier for humanity, an impossible dream really, but I will try my absolute best to continue what you have created so far." I stood up and bowed as I walked away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mr. Sasuke? Their is an unexpected meeting arranged and the one who arranged it demanded to see you as soon as possible." My secretary said through the phone. I sighed as I stared out of the window of my limousine. With a fake young man's voice I replied, "I'll be their as soon as I possible, please lead whoever this person is to the waiting room. And if this person asks any questions about anything that envolves me, do not answer politely. That's all." I hanged up before she could reply. I sighed. After my uncle's death, Claude immediately set me to work, I combined my father's company and my uncles company together, then named it the Sasuke corps, after my Grandmother's last name. I set up a fake ID and disguised myself as a male, but a few private and trusted people (like Claude) know my true gender in case of an . . . . . nuisances.

Sigh. I blew on an annoying blond bang that keeps falling on one side of my face, to disguise as a male, I'm wearing a blondish white wig and bright golden eyes (pic above). I sighed again, anyway, who is this client who set up an unapproved meeting? "Mistress, would you like anything to drink?" Claude asked me, I looked up and then something came to me. I sighed, then smiled tiredly, "No thank you, however, I would like you to set up a certain. . . . .something." Claude raised an eyebrow then smiled/smirked slightly.

10 minutes later......

Claude started calling arranging my plan. Are you all curious why I set up a plan? My answer is instincts. That might sound stupid, but its a small secret that will be explained later. While he was making arrangements I stared out the window and then noticed something.

"Stop the car!" I shouted. The limo screeched to a stop, Claude of course, being a butler, continued his work. I got out quickly and ran to a nearby playground. 5 kids were kicking a small bruised kid who looked like my 'male' version only smaller. "You five leave this kid alone. Its not right to bully anyone. Understand?" I said in English calmly with a small glare. The 5 kids looked down slightly, "Fine, we're sorry..." One of them muttered. I smiled, "Just don't don't do it again." I then carried the now unconscious kid to the limo.

"Mistress, who is this?" Claude asked, probably done with all the work, "My guess its one of those homeless kids being bullied by kids who actually have a home. Che, this is one of the reasons my uncle and dad made this company, to help kids and people like him." Claude got a blanket out and I draped it around the kid. Quickly I treated his wounds and by the time I was done I realized that we arrived at the main building of the Sasuke corps. Claude assisted me out, I sighed as I looked at the kid who was being carried by one of the personal guards that came with me. Suddenly I felt a spine chilling, I sensed a familiar presence. My bangs shadowed my eyes, "Claude." "The preparations are done mistress." Claude answered while bowing and smirking. "Thank you." I smiled as he gave me a change of clothes. I went into the washroom to change.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as I went through the door, my security ran up to me, "Mr. Sasuke! Thank God your here. The client is quite . . . . emperor like." I raised an eyebrow, 'it couldn't possibly...' "How much longer is your boss making me wait?" And impatience commanding voice sounded behind her, I looked and sighed as I mentally smiled in defeat. "Mr. Akashi! He's right-" Claude covered her mouth, then he smiled an 'innocent' smile at Akashi. "He took another elevator is his study. Hikaru, please escort this young man to the 'meeting room'" I bowed like a butler (as a butler I always keep my eyes closed) as I smiled naturally and said, "This way, Mr. Akashi." Akashi looked at me and widened his eyes slightly, I cocked my head in confusion. I lead Akashi to that 'meeting room' And in case you didn't figure it out yet, I'm in a butler suit. (pic above)

As I passed the guard who was carrying the unconscious child, I quickly whispered, "Please take him to the private infirmary." The guard nodded and walked away. I barely noticed Akashi giving me a strange look. In the elevator I pressed the button of the 49th floor, second highest. Akashi raised another eyebrow. I was kind of sweat-dropping under his menacing stare, he was obviously not in a good mood. I smiled with my eyes closed, "Is their something wrong, Mr. Akashi?" Akashi narrowed his eyes, "What is your relationship with your boss?" I smiled naturally again, "I'm one of his main butlers." Akashi narrowed his eyes even more, "Has anyone come and visited in the past three weeks?" My eyes still closed, I smiled again, "Of course, many many clients of Mr. Sasuke sama." "Che.." Akashi looked away and made a sound of frustration. Akashi then became silent for the rest of the elevator ride. I opened my eyes slightly as the 'fresh' smile was gone. 'I have to be careful.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Then, please wait here, Mr. Akashi." I said with a close eyed smile. Akashi responded with a narrowed eye glare. Yep, definitely not in a good mood. I went out and closed the door, I sighed. Then I walked to the room far down the hall, next to the private infimiary, with a quick check on the child and told the guard to send him to me as soon as he woke up, I went to the next room. A special 'audio' room. I locked the doors and then connected the machines. I coughed a couple of times to prepare my fake male voice. I looked through the camera at Akashi who was sitting quite impatiently as Claude came in a served him some tea. I took a breath. I don't think this is going to end well.

Akashi's POV:

I waited impatiently on the couch, ready to snap at any moment with my scissors. Che... why is this happening in the first place?

The butler from ealier entered and placed a teacup in front of me. I stared at him menacingly. The butler chuckled, "Is their something the matter, Mr. Akashi?" I narrowed my eyes, "How long was that butler you stated as 'Hikaru' worked here?" I asked. The butler pretended to think thoughtfully and purposely taking up more of my time. "Hmm..... I think about 2 years now? He is quite popular among the female workers I must say, but he is a genius and does his work diligently." 'Well of course he's popular among the female population.' I thought annoyed. He could probably surpass Ryota's looks by many miles, but for some reason that butler is giving me a strange feeling. I know I saw him somewhere before. But it doesn't really matter to me.

"How long is your boss taking?!" I asked, very impatient now. The butler chuckled, "Oh he should show up in 3. 2. 1." On cue, the large screen turned on, and a figure of a man appeared. But he was completely black. Their was no way you could identify him. My eyes twitched.

Though the screen didn't show the man's face, I could feel him smiling. "Well, well. It is a surprise to see you here, son of the head of the Akashi corps. Mr. Akashi Seijuro." I was slightly surprised that his voice sounded so young, 30's? 20?'s, No he was even younger. I nodded slightly, "I apologize for arranging a meeting quite suddenly. I could see the figure on the screen cock his head slightly, "Its quite alright. Though it is quite unexpected for someone like you to come to America. Is their any business you need with the Sasuke corps?"

I narrowed my eyes as I said, "I'll get straight to the point..."

"Where is Kuroko Tetsuna?"

Thank you for waiting, next chapter will be out. (Hopefully) soon. But then again, I'm going to highschool for the first time in my life next week, so I don't know for sure when the next update will be.
