The faint sound of music could be heard, as a girl with red hair and amethyst eyes had her eyes close while laying down on her king sized bed. Her room was completely organized from books to her files everything was amazingly lined perfectly. Her room was dark and the only light that gives off a faint glow was from her opened computer.

Nishikino Maki a girl who prefers to be alone or others might say 'an introvert'. She prefers to wear black all the time, and prefers to eat sweets. Her parents were well aware of this behavior of Maki which left her father quite disappointed. Her family owns the biggest company in the world, which of course gives her an easy life. Though despite all this fortune around her, it annoys her every time her family would hold an event and she would be forced to go out her own room and…socialize. She had already graduated at a young age of 21. Being the top of the class provided her great reasons to one day inherit her parent's company, though of course she refuses.

Maki opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling, rubbing her eyes she sighed as she stood and made her way to the computer and starts an online game. She had been addicted to games, to the point that she could sit in front her tv and console or computer for hours.

Two hours had passed when she was abruptly disturbed by a knock.

"Maki come out the living room we have something to talk about."

Her mother called 'What is it now?' She thought as she puts away the head set and sighed yet again before leaving the room.

Arriving the living room she was greeted by her mother and father, who was seated on the sofa. Taking a sit in front of them her father started.

" Maki I'm making you the CEO of the company for a year." Her father stated. Maki's eyes widen.

'What?'

"We just want what's best for you." Followed her mother, Maki gave them a confused look and wait for them to continue.

'What the hell's going on?'

Her father then gave her a look of superiority.

"We are taking you in charge of the company for one year and you are to lead you own set of staff." As soon as the words left her father's mouth, she stared at them completely still. Her mother looked at Maki with worry, worry that Maki wouldn't be stressed, she is the typical caring mother after all.

"Eh?"

"We're taking you in charge of the company." Her parents repeated.

'I heard you, I'm just confused as to why you suddenly brought that up.' She stated in her mind.

"We know you're confused but I need to know if you are even worthy of handling the company, I know you graduated with flying colors but that doesn't prove you could handle a company." Her father stated strictly.

'Yes that doesn't prove anything but it's not like I want the company anyways.' Maki though while still intently listening to her parents.

"It's been 3 months since we last saw you and that's kind of peculiar as we are living at the same house, and that kind of behavior would not make our company any better in the future."

'Wouldn't that be your fault as you were always away from home?'

" Do something in your life for once, you've been stuck in that room for so long and I wouldn't take no for an answer. " Her father said harshly while looking at her directly in the eyes. Clenching her fist, she hung down her head slightly 'It's not like I could say no to this.'

"Fine I'll take over the company." She replied softly, so soft that probably the wind only heard. Though her words reached through her parents' ears making her father huff in satisfaction and cause her mother's to eyes widen.

"..." Her mother said not believing her daughter would ever say that. Maki looked at her mother and father she nodded slightly. Her father then stood up leave but stop and looked at Maki.

"A very wise decision for a Nishikino."

'This is a pain.'

The next day Maki rose up kind of early, as she was expected to show up in the building at 7:15, walking towards her wardrobe she pulled out black pants, red shirt and black hoodie.

'Not like I'm trying going to something important' She though as she looked at her reflection at the mirror, giving a big sigh she proceeds to head down to eat breakfast and head to the company.

Arriving at the Nishikino enterprise, she was already regretting it.

'I-I have to do this every day? C-contact with people, talking...' People were looking at her suspiciously, as she was just standing there looking around her like there was someone chasing her, and she's wearing all black like someone had died. Realizing that the attention was on her, she put her hood up and hurried inside the company.

Entering the company she observed the building, looking up stairs that is undeniably ten stories up and an impressive gigantic chandelier is hung up the ceiling.

'When was the last time I ever set foot in this building?' Maki thought. As she was roaming around she wasn't aware of a girl with jet black hair and ruby eyes and a face mask that hides her face was about to reach out to her.

As soon as the black haired girl touched Maki's shoulder, the red haired girl immediately reacted harshly and removed the hand away from her shoulder. Which resulted to the red eyed person to rub her hand.

"Hey is that really necessary?" The person with black hair said and she continuously rub her hand. Maki not experience in being stuck in this type of situation, bowed her head.

"I'm sorry" The red haired girl said. Stopping from rubbing her hand, the girl with black hair huffed.

"Hmph. What's with that get up anyway? did someone die or something?" She said.

'It's people like this is the reason why I rarely go out.' Maki thought while making a face as her head was down. The black haired girl noticed the silence and decided to wave her hand in front of Maki's face.

"Hey are you alright?" She asked, her mood suddenly shifting. Maki scoffed internally 'It's funny how she would sound worry when she was being annoying just seconds ago.'

"I'm a-alright" Maki nervously said. Hearing her stutter, the black haired girl smiled beneath the mask and grabbed Maki's wrist, in which the red head girl flinched. Pulling her to corner and removing her mask which revealed a smiling face.

'Why does she have to put on that face mask if there is nothing interesting underneath?' Maki thought confused. She returned her attention to the girl as soon as she noticed that she was trying to say something.

"Well now that you know who I am, then It's your turn to tell me your name." The black haired girl said while looking boastful.

'Who is she?'

"Uhhh?'

The black haired girl looked at her with disbelief.

"You don't know who I am?" she asked and Maki replied with a slight nod.

Face palming her face, she inhaled and exhaled.

"It's alright just a few people does not know me." The black haired girl said convincing herself that it's alright before striking out her famous pose.

"I'm Yazawa Nico the number one idol in the universe." as she Nico said that, the red haired girl was still confused.

'But I should probably pretend seeing as it looks like she is a professional.'

"Maki." The red haired stated softly, but soft enough to let Nico hear her.

Smiling Nico then chuckled.

"Nice to meet you Maki. You interest me."

Maki's eyes widen a little before looking away and trying to escape the situation. 'This is no way out of this, observing her she's the persistent type.'

As Nico was about to touch her hand again, Maki pull her hand out of reach then decided to make a run for it, leaving Nico behind.

Getting away drained her energy, as she was now leaning in the wall for support. Panting she remembered Nico's words

'You interest me.'

"Weird."

She continued to catch her breath but was interrupted when she heard a cough. Turning around to look at the source of sound she saw a girl in a dark blue suit, blue hair and amber eyes.

"Hello Nishikino Maki I'm Sonoda Umi your guide. And I'm well aware that you prefer not having any physical contact so verbal is the chosen option for you."

'Well at least there's someone that wouldn't invade my personal space.'
