Chapter One
"Look at who they sent this time." A voice snickered as I walked in. My blond hair was combed to look more neat and I wore a nice tux for this even. My red eyes searched for a subject. And as I did this, I simply smiled.
"Nice to meet, I hope to have the pleasure to work with you." The man seemed taken aback, my tone of voice almost like a sweet sugar coated threat. I've been in this agency long enough to pick up a few things.
"His eyes look so demonic." Someone comments.
"How is he the best that that news agency can offer." I smiled at their words. I'm not often in the spotlight, but when I am, I tend to stand out.
"How am I the best? Let's see, since joining the company three years ago, I have written and taken pictures for over seven hundred different stories. My words can entrance anyone, and bring whoever they please to the ground. I came here for business, not for some poor gossip. And if you're going to gossip, how about the fact that two male actors just came back from the bathroom and they have hickeys on their necks?" I comment, walking away. I saw my boss and walked over, smiling.
"You- you sure know how to make an impression." My boss' assistant comments. Her name was Sabrina I believe.
"I just hate gossip. Poorly constructed gossip that is." I comment, dropping my false smile and looking at the crowd. "So who are these celebrities I'm picking from?" I question.
"You have four to pick from, and here they come now." I look towards the entrance where two females and two males walk in. The females were Sakura Aradashi and Meg Dagril. The males were Quinn Charge and Zero Jagget. Sakura was a model who was all the rage these days, Meg was a fashion designer, Quinn was an actor and Zero.... He was a singer, a wild card. There was nothing really known about him.
Sakura and Meg both were red wads, but Meg was natural, Sakura dyed hers. Meg had green eyes and Sakura had brown. Quinn had dark blond hair and brown eyes with glasses fitted nearly on his face. Zero, he stood out. White hair which framed his face and his red eyes, even more scarlet than my own. He even wore a white tux, making his red eyes even more of a sight.
The four made their way to us, and I smiled seeing them.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Astuki Haruki, I go by Atsu, or I try to, I hope for all of us to get along." The girls eagerly shake my hand as they look at my amazing features. Quinn shakes my hand with a smile and Zero, he looks at me and seems to study me, but doesn't dare move his hand, making me drop my own.
"Do you have any idea who you plan to interview? I'd choose wisely because you will be staying with them as well during weekends." Sabrina warns. I look at the four candidates.
"They're all wonderful and I admire each of them, so it's a tough choice, but I think I'll interview Zero." I smile.
"Why him? He's so distant and moody!" Sakura complains. A take a lock of her hair into my hand.
"Don't fret my dear, maybe one day I will be able to interview such a beautiful young lady such as yourself." She seemed swooned enough after that, Meg too. Quinn seemed surprised when I turned towards him. "And I do hope I have the honor to interview you as well someday, your movies are always quite touching, your roles so well played." I compliment.
"Well, enjoy yourselves tonight and I'll give you the details for the job at work tomorrow." My boss informed.
"Will do boss. Ms. Aradashi, might I have this dance?" I question. The girl blushed and took my hand as I led her to the dance floor. This was my way to win the heart of anyone I pursued. Or anyone I may need in the future. Call me what you will, but hey, it's my job to reveal the darkest and deepest parts of each person, and capture photos too. What better way to get those than getting in on the scandal yourself?
I held Sakura close as a slow song played, and we dance for the entire song before I danced with Meg. After a few hours, both girls were begging me to interview hem someday. I smiled at them and assured them I would. With my actions, many seemed confused, but Zero, he gave me this harsh look.
As the night came to its sweet end, I left on my own, finding myself confronted by Zero. I smiled at him. He glared at me.
"What are you planning?" He questions.
"Nothing, I just thought I'd be kind to those girls. My mother always told me to treat women with respect." I smile.
"I don't trust you, not one bit." Zero comments.
"Ah, everyone puts their trust in me in the end. A married women to the smallest children, everyone trusts me, it just takes time." I smile and check my watch.
"I have to hurry, my friends invited me out drinking, and I'm afraid that if I'm not there, they might discover each other's feeling for each other too soon!" I walk away with a wave. "It will be a pleasure to work with you." I felt his glare as I walked away, a smirk curved upon my lips. And I made my way back home where I quickly changed and went to the bar where Jeremey and Yu normally went.
"There you are hot shot." Yu chuckles as I enter, girls blushing seeing me.
"Hey Yu, Jeremey." I smile and turn to the bartender. "I'll have a beer please." I paid for my beer, I was only having one.
"You don't drink that much, how come?" Jeremey questions. Jeremey was tall as well, just not freakishly. His eyes were green and his hair a chestnut brown with a single streak of white. I liked his hair.
"We've been friends for how long?" I retaliate.
"Sixteen years." He smiles.
"And you still don't know? It's because you two get drunk off your asses and I have to drive you home." I remind for the umpteenth time.
"That's right." Yu clicked. "But tonight were celebrating your raise! The greatest journalist in the world!" Yu exclaimed.
"I wouldn't go that far." I chuckle.
"Don't be so modest Astu." Jeremey was the only one one seemed to call me Atsu.
"I'm not being modest. And anyways, don't drink too much because I can't give you a ride today. I have one last stop for tonight." I smile.
"Oh, that's a shame. Hey, those two girls, the ones who just arrived, aren't they celebrities?" Yu questions. I look and see Meg and Sakura. They looked around.
"I'm over here!" I called and the girls turned and saw me, walking over.
"We came to grab you." The girls giggled.
"I'm sorry, but I must be off. See you at work tomorrow!" I put my arms around their waist and leave, my empty beer now sitting where I left it.
"We're sorry to involve you in our stupid wish." Meg said as we left.
"Don't worry. For you two, I'm willing to do something I'm not supposed to." The girls blushed.
"You're so sweet, how do you not have a girlfriend?" Sakura questions.
"Ah, I just haven't found the right one yet, but you two are simply beautiful women." If you hadn't already guessed what's happening, you'll have to wait a little bit longer to find out.
