Pretty self-explanatory from there.

A skinny looking young man walks up to the door of a large office. The name `Kaioh' is displayed in gold letters across the door. He walks into the office and drops some files on the large oak desk. After a moment, he begins looking for something. Shuffling through papers that are strewn all over the desk, he checks the door repeatedly.

A young woman enters the room and is surprised to see him there. "Can I help you with something?" she asks sharply.

The young man turns around quickly. "Miss Kaioh!" he nearly yells, "You're early." He bows slightly before his superior and sneaks out of the room.

Michiru Kaioh shakes her head and walks over to her desk. She picks up the files and begins to slowly flip through the different pages. "This is getting to be such a bore," she sighs as she sits in her chair.

A few minutes later, her secretary walks in. "Good morning, Miss Kaioh," she greets happily. She hands Michiru a stack of papers with names and numbers.

Michiru looks up from the desk. "Good morning, Touko," she replies as she looks at the messages. "Are these all from this morning?"

The young woman nods her head. "Yes ma'am." After a moment of standing there, she looks nervously at Michiru. "Um..Ma'am?"

Michiru looks from the papers to the secretary. "Yes?"

Touko looks nervously at the carpeted floor. "Forgive me for asking but…Are you thinking about selling Kaioh Co.?"

Michiru raises her eyebrow in curiosity. "No, where would you get an idea like that?"

"Well, someone called earlier and they were asking what the selling price for Kaioh Co. was."

Michiru smiles and shakes her head. "I have no intentions of selling the company. If that person calls again, transfer them to my office immediately."

Touko nodded her head quickly. "Yes ma'am. If they call, I'll send them through to you if they call." She turns and leaves the office.

Michiru sighs for what seems the twentieth time that morning and starts looking through the notes again.

The young man quickly walked to his cubicle and picks up the phone, calling a certain individual who has set his eyes on Kaioh Co.

The deep voice of a middle-aged man answers the phone. "Did you find anything useful?" he asked roughly.

The young man fumbles for the right words. "Well, sir," he says cautiously, "I could get a hold of some of the bank accounts she has."

There's a long pause on the other line. "Bank accounts aren't going to do us much good." He pauses again. "Get them. We need to see where she has her money and what she's doing with it."

"Yes, sir. I will talk to her accountant as soon as I can." He moves to hang up the phone.

"Also," the older man says loudly, "Find out anything else you can as well. Anything that has numbers on it, try to get it."

"Yes, sir," he says before hanging up the phone and goes to Michiru's secretary.

Touko looks up from her work, slightly annoyed. "Don't you have work to be doing?" she asks shortly.

He gives her a sweet-looking smile. "Yes, but I was going to…um…" he pauses and points toward the elevator, "…Anyway, I was wondering if you needed anything taken to another department. I could save you the trip by taking it myself."

She shakes her head quickly. "No, I don't have anything for you. Thank you though."

He looks at Michiru's door. "Do you know if Michiru would have anything?"

"I don't know if MISS KAIOH has anything. She's in her office, why don't you check?"

He nods his head, walks to the door and knocks. He enters when he hears Michiru's voice. "Miss Kaioh," he says respectfully, "do you have anything that you need taken to another department?"

Michiru looks up and hands him a number of files. "Yes. This needs to be taken to distributing, this to inventory, and this to accounting." She gives him an expectant look. "I trust that you know where each of these departments are."

Wow, he thought to himself, Jackpot! "Yes. Thank you, Miss Kaioh. I will take good care of them."

She looked at him once before leaning back in her chair. "You'd better. Get the accounting file there immediately. If it's not there, you will pay with your job."

"Yes, ma'am." He quickly leaves the office and practically runs to the elevator. Once inside, he presses the hold button, pulls out his cell phone and calls his second employer.

The other line is answered right away. "What do you have?" asks the same gruff voice.

"I swear, I have a jackpot," he says excitedly, "I have her information for the account, inventory, and distributing."

"What? How in the Hell did you get so damned lucky? Never mind, what does it say for accounting? I want to know where her money is."

He opened the file and started reading off names and numbers of everything on the list. (A/N: obviously, I'm not going to give stuff out. It may be a total work of fiction, but I don't know much about this yet.)

"That would explain how she got so damned rich. Is there anything about how much Kaioh Co. is worth?"

He quickly skimmed over the papers and read off a few number values.

"My God…I can't wait to get my hands on that money. Good work. That's all I need from you. I'll let you know if I need your assistance again."

The young man closes the files and tucks them under his arm. "Yes, sir. You know my number." He hangs up the phone and starts the elevator moving again.

A tall young woman with shoulder length strawberry blonde hair stands at the elevator, waiting impatiently. "What in the Hell is taking this thing so long?" she asks herself out loud.

As the doors open, the young man walks out quickly, nearly bumping into the waiting woman. "Oh, hi," he says quickly, "Excuse me." He walks around her, moving quickly.

She sighs and walks into the elevator. "It took you long enough," she griped.

"Sorry `bout that. It must have been a power shortage or something." He walks away from her, rushing to make the deposits.

She enters the elevator and takes it up to Michiru's floor. She walks down the hall and stops by her secretary. "Hi, I'm here to see Michiru," she states simply.

Touko looks up and nods her head. "Yes, she should be in," she pushes a button on her phone, "Miss Kaioh? There's an employee here to see you."

The woman in front of her frowns slightly. "I'm not an employee. I'm a close friend of hers."

Suddenly, Michiru's voice comes through the speaker, "Send them in, please."

She winks once at Touko then walks into Michiru's office. "Hi, Sweetie," she says happily.

Michiru looks up from her desk, a surprised look on her face. "Hey, Dollface," she returns, "What brings you here?"

She leans on the desk. "Do you know a guy who looks like he's unhealthily skinny?"

She pauses and thinks for a moment. "Oh, yes. He works for me. Office runner and things like that."

"I saw him at the elevator. It took forever to get to the ground floor."

Michiru looked at her with question in her eyes. "It shouldn't have taken long for him to get there. I should make sure that the files got there." She picked up her phone and calls accounting.

After a couple of rings, a soft voice answers. "Accounting department, how may I help you?"

"Hi, Jannelle, it's Michiru. Did the file I sent down to you arrive yet?"

After a few moments of rustling paper, the soft voice comes back. "Yes, Miss Kaioh. The files are right here in my hands now."

Michiru closes her eyes and lets out a deep breath of air. "Thank you, Jannelle." She hangs up the phone and leans back in her chair. "At least my files made it down there."

Her companion smiles at her softly. "I'm glad to hear that, Michi." Her expression then changes to one of worry. "Why are you on the edge of your seat, Michi?"

Michiru waves her hand slightly. "Oh, it's probably nothing, Beth. I'm just trying to figure out why someone would think I am selling my company."

Elizabeth moves and sits on the desk. "Michiru, you're getting worried over nothing. You're a very rich woman and no one would dare go after your company." She leans in to give her a kiss.

Michiru turns her head to the side, avoiding her girlfriend's lips. "That's not the point. I built this company from nothing and I have no intention of getting rid of it. I don't care about the money. It's the pleasure of the job that I enjoy."

Elizabeth pulls away and sighs. "How can you enjoy something that causes so much stress in your life?"

Michiru smiles up at her. "If it wasn't stressful, I wouldn't enjoy it like I do. You know me, I like a challenge."

"But Michi, don't you think that you might be pushing yourself too hard with this?" She takes a deep breath. "Maybe you should consider selling Kaioh Co."

Michiru looked at her like she spoke a foreign language. "Are you serious? You want me to think about selling Kaioh Co? How can you even suggest that?"

"Forget I said anything. We'll talk about it later."

"Alright."

Elizabeth decides to quickly change the subject. "So, what are you doing for lunch?"

Michiru shrugs her shoulders. "I'm not sure. I haven't thought that far ahead in my day yet."

"I'll pick you up. We'll go out to eat, my treat."

Michiru smiles. "Sounds like a plan." She leans forward and kisses her lover's cheek. "Now, if you'll excuse me. I have some work I have to finish before lunch."

Elizabeth nods her head. "I'll see you at lunch then, Baby." She stands and leaves the room quickly.

End Chappie

Ok, that's the first chappie. Let me know what you think of it. Hopefully, it meets with everyone expectations. If not, let me know and I'll try to fix it up a bit. I'll try to post up the next chappie by the end of the weekend.
