Tsukino your desk is right outside, and you will be handling all the cases and
clients that I will be working with. Right now my company is working on a merger
with The Desert Moon Company. With this merger Chiba Co. will become the biggest
company not just in Asia but in North America as well." ~It's so hard to be
serious around this girl, there is something about her.~ "I understand sir,
shall I get to my desk to start?" she asked shyly. "Certainly" I replied
hastily. ~This girl makes me feel comfortable and  uncomfortable at the same
time.~ I shake the feeling away as she walks out of my office.

> > > > > No wonder Beryl-mama is so obsessed with Mr. Chiba, he is such a hunk! And
believe me I rarely  ever use such a term. Mamoru Chiba had midnight hair, the
height of 6' 2", with cool and calm deep blue eyes. I have never once flocked to
a man before, and I have decided I am not going to start now. But there is
defiantly something about him, like I know him from somewhere. I reached my desk
just in time to take my first phone call.
> > > > >
> > > > > "Hello this is Mr. Chiba's office of The Chiba Company, how may I help
you?" a light yet cool female voice spoke, "Hello, I need to speak to Mamoru
right away." "May I ask who is speaking?" "This is Rei Chiba, Mamoru's sister."
"Wait a moment please." I press the intercom, "Mr. Chiba, your sister Ms. Rei is
on line 3." "Ok." he answered quickly. I turned  the computer on and began
searching around for information about the company and the new merger.
> > > > > *********************************************************************

> > > > > "Hello Rei, how are you?" "Oh Mamoru, you didn't tell me you got a new
secretary. Is she cute?" "Is that all you ever think about Rei?" "Well my 31
year old brother, most people your age have gotten married with bubbly
children." "I know, don't you think I want "bubbly" children." "Well, I have
taking the opportunity to throw a welcome back party for Chad. You must come, so
I can introduce some soon to be married women." "I will go, but I am going to
bring a date." "Oh really who is it?" ~Darn Rei...~ "Umm..." Just then Miss.
Tsukino walks in with some documents, perfect. "Why Rei I'm taking my new
secretary Miss. Tsukino." I look up at Miss. Tsukino gaping at me. "That is
wonderful Mamoru, I will see you then, sayonara."
> > > > > **********************************************************************
> > > > > "M-Mr. Chiba?!" I walk in to look over some proposals and he announces that
I am going to a party. "Miss. Tsukino, call me Mamoru. After all, you are
attending a social event with me." ~Why is he so calm? I don't understand, why
would he ask me?~ "Mr-Mamoru-san why would you ask me?" "You happen to come in
the room at the right time." "I'm sorry Mamoru-san I can't go. I have a previous
engagement, it is very important." For a second I thought I saw disappointment
and confusion in his eyes. "Very well." "Thank you Mr.  Chiba" "It's Mamoru,
I'll pick you up at 6:30 tomorrow, end of discussion." "If I didn’t work for you
I would show you a piece of my mind." I mumbled quiet enough so that he couldn't
hear. ~What am I going to go when my family finds out. This is going to be a
very, very long week.

Weekly, we introduce you to Besinnie Mon (repeat after me,
"beh-sen-ne"...hhehehehe...), the top model of the year." I swore I dropped my
jaw into my coffee that morning. ~Now that's a girl I need.~ She looked to be
5'6", a little short for a model. But she certainly had the looks. With delicate
features, an incredible body, very long blond hair, in the cutest floral dress.
> > > > > **********************************************************************
> > > > >

sophisticated beauty. But don't worry girls she is nothing compared to you two.
But alas, Usagi is so scrawny she is made for hard labor. Right dear?" "Of
course Beryl-mama." I answer in annoyance. "I'm going to work now, and if anyone
shows up looking for me tell them to leave a message and leave. I will be very
busy working all night." "Whatever." I sigh, Beryl-mama didn't hear a word, she
was to busy looking at Besinnie Mon.

Besinnie Mon, and give it to me ASAP." "Yes sir." It is 12pm, time for lunch.
"Hey gal, I made lunch for a bunch of us I want to introduce you to, come on."
"I'm not sure if I can come to lunch Mako-chan." "Why not?" "Mr. Chiba just
asked me to find info on Miss. Mon ASAP." "He seems very preoccupied today, I
don't think he will notice of you went for lunch, now hurry up I've got people
waiting." With no time to respond, Makoto grabs my hand and starts running
towards the roof.

become great friends." This shy pleasant girl was head of Technology at Chiba
Corp. "I'm sure you have met Minako." "It's good to see you again Usagi-chan."
"Sure is, now let's eat!" "Usagi, all you think about is food." "Darn right!"
*^_^!*
> > > > > **********************************************************************
> > > > >

up and  headed towards Mr. Chiba's office. "Sir, I hate to disturb you but, why
do you need Ms. Mon's data?" "I plan to incorperate her into one of my projects.
As well as invite her to the party tonight." "If she is your date, does that
mean I do not have to attend?" "Date?! I have no intention of making her my
date, or my girlfriend." ~perhaps not yet~

> > > > > *Ding* *Dong* "Usagi!" a shrieking voice shouts. *Ding* *Dong* "Usagi where
are you, get the door!" Then I hear a woman mumbling to herself, "That
girl-lazy...where...sigh..." She opens the  door. She was a woman in her 40's
with blood read hair that reached the past her back. She obviously had multiple
plastic sugeories. She gasps, "Mr. Chiba." "I'm here to pick up Usagi."
"Usagi?!" Her wide shocked look, cause her "perfect" look to give into the the
fighting wrinkles on her face. "She is an employee and she must attend to the
event." "She vanished out of the house a minute ago." "Do you know where she
went?" "I have know idea." The lady's face turn deadly mysterious, "But if you
need a date, I have two  lovely daughters  who are  willing to attend in her
place." ~Run, Chiba, Run!~ was all my brain said and that was exactly what I
did. I hoped into my convertable and drove off. Usagi, what was she doing to me?
Who was that witch? She seemed shocked that Usagi was asked to go to such an
social event. ~Usagi what are you hiding from me?~
> > > > **********************************************************************
> > > >
> > > > I hid this place from everyone. I trimmed a leaf, to balance the look. This
was a garden in the middle of the Park. Hidden between two bushes, it has always
been my place. I had set the place with lights that hung as if they where on a
christmas tree. In the light you could see the garden with roses of all kinds.
You can tell the love put in the garden. Also there was one black and one white
cat. I named them Luna and Artimis, the names seemed to fit them so well. Though
I am in such a beautiful place. I can't help but think of Mr. Chiba, Mamoru. I
feel so guilty for ditching him like I did. But I know he could get any girl at
anytime to go out with him. But still, I can't help thinking of him.
> > > > **********************************************************************
> > > >
> > > > I have decided, now that I was offically one dateless Mamoru I would go for
a walk in a nearby park. The I left  my car on the side of  the road aand
started walking. I realised that when I was thinking about Usagi, I got lost in
the dark park. I started walking faster, and I reached what seemed like a
deadend. But I saw a dim light beyond the bushes. I gave into curiousity and
ruined my good tux going through the bush. At the end I found that ruining my
tux was worth it.
> > > **********************************************************************
> > >
> > > I thought I heard a sound, I look around everywhere to see if someone found
me, but I didn't see anyone. I turned my attention back to Mamoru. He was
looking for Besinnie Mon, which only was found when she showed up. No address,
phone number, or any trace of her past. How was I going to find her? Then I
heard the sound again, but this time someone did find me. "Mr. Chiba, what are
you doing in here?"
> > > **********************************************************************
> > >
> > > I think I feel the steam coming out of my ears, "Usagi, why?" I used her
first name, bunny, such a cute name. "Mr. Chiba I'm sorry, it's just that my
family doesn't like me attending any social events." Ah yes, that lady at the
house was very surprised that Usagi was invited. I look down at her, she was
wearing baggy pants, with a big fleece over her upper body. Her hair was up in
the usual, a messy bun. And I realize for the first time, she wore glasses. I
was so pulled into her eyes that I never noticed a silver frame was around them.
Well I'm going to show Rei, that I don't have a standard in women. "Usagi, I'm
sure your family  will understand that you are an employee and you must attend.
Now lets go." I grabbed her arm and pulled her out of sitting positition and
started dragging her towards my car, or where I think it is. I ignored her
saying, "Mr. Chiba, please let go. I really can't go."
> > > **********************************************************************
> >
> > It took a while for Mamoru to find his car. But he never let me go, I had to
come up with an excuse fast. " Mr. Chiba, I can't go to the party wearing this!"
I pointed to what I was wearing, he looked me over carefully. Obviously too
carefully for my liking. Then the last thing he said was, " You are perfect." We
arrived to the largest house I had ever seen with the lot size of a 18 holed
golf range.
> **********************************************************************
>
> Whether Usagi knew it or not she was gorgous. Unlike the "made" beauty other
women he knew had, but natural beauty. I looked at her the whole car ride, which
is something that I would never admitt to any living soul. I gave the car keys
to valid parking and led Usagi into the room where the party was. Then the usual
compliments were given:
> "Mamoru it's good to see you!"
> "You are looking well Mamoru."
> "You look wonderful tonight."
> ...
> ~sigh~ Then one young woman walked up and said the unexpected, "Mamoru, would
you like me to show this hired made to the kitchen?" ~How could she say that?!~
I looked at Usagi, she looked at me with pleading eyes saying, "Let me go home."
But I only gripped her arm tighter. "I'm sorry Miss. but this young lady is my
date for tonight." Shock hit her, very hard. I watched her fall, very hard. That
was when my sister came along, "Mamoru, I haven't met your date." "I smiled, I
knew Rei like Usagi. "This is Usagi Tsukino, Usagi this is Rei Chiba, my
sister." I watched in delight as Usagi's eyes lit up, "I met you over the phone,
it's so good to finally meet you!" My sister's smile was even bigger, "It's good
to met you too. Tell me Usagi, how long have you been going out with my
brother?" ~Rei, why did you ask that?!~ Usagi's face fell, "I just met him."
"Any dirty secrets? We can trade!" Usagi's face lit again, obviously deflating
my ego was a lot of fun.
> **********************************************************************
>
> Rei was such a nice lady, unlike her brother. She was witty and charming, "So
Usagi tell me about yourself, I want every dirty detail." I took a deep breathe,
"Well, I am Besinnie Mon." Rei's eyes grew dangerously big, but before she could
respond someone tapped me on the shoulder. Rei's eyes softened, so I turned to
see who was there. "Hello Mr. Chiba." "Usagi please, call me Mamoru." "Mamoru,
do you want to speak with your sister?" "No, I wanted to ask you to dance. So
will you?" "Certainly" I took his hand, and felt that strange tingling that I
felt every since I met Mamoru.
**********************************************************************

Though I was talking to many people, all I focased on was Usagi. I watched her
twirl her loose hair with her finger, I watched her laugh was she talked with my
sister. All I wanted to do was put her into my arms, but I knew that I could
never touch her. So I decided to ask her to dance, which was even more dangerous
than wishing to touch her. So close yet so far, was the perfect term. I fought
the urge to give her the sweetest kiss that I would ever give anyone. But then
she curled up against my chest and closed her eyes. I gave in and bent to kiss
the sleeping angel in my arms.
