[B][U]Ten Hours before she meets her Partner[/U][/B] Saya flew across a three story drop in a long jump which terminated with her rolling in the pea gravel of the rooftop as if it were as soft as a gymnastics mat. She hadn't even stopped before she was on her feet and still in motion an a short distance away she used an air conditioner like a vaulting horse rotating her body 180 degrees before landing. Squating slightly to coil the muscles in her thighs, calves and abdominals she did a back flip off the roof top landing on another building's roof five feet below. Saya an experienced Traceuse was in her own paradise as she moved swiftly through the Obstacle course she'd laid out for herself. She finished her light workout landing on the balcony of her small apartment, well small by the standards in which she'd been raised. As she pushed open the sliding glass door an entered her apartment she was handed a towel by her Bodyguard an Driver Suzuki Genya [B]"You know Miss Kanzaki you could join a gym, I'd be happy to suggest a few"[/B] says the man who'd watched her grow to be a woman [B]"Gyms are so boring and unsanitary, all those sweaty people"[/B] she says with a giggle as she drys the sweat off her face an neck then tosses Genya the now damp towel. He eyes the towel critically saying [B]"Yes unsanitary"[/B] Saya smiles an walks to her personal bath where Miya her maid waits with a grin. [B]"Miss I trust you're done with your daily exercise and ready for a bath"[/B] says Miya in a cheerful an teasing tone. [B]"I cut it short because I have a club meeting tonight but it was still adequate"[/B] answers Saya as she pauses and allows Miya to undress her. Sitting on a bath stool she picks up a pad in a diver's cover and checks any messages as Miya lathers her with soap.. Used to such treatment she reads the mail from her father detailing his expectations of her in the coming week. She then opens the mail from her mother and groans a little when she sees that while at a New York fashion show her mom has bought her eleven new designer outfits which will need fitting next week. [B]"Miya pins and needles"[/B] she says and hears her maid giggle [B]"How many this time Miss?"[/B] asks Miya as she fills the rinse bucket [B]"Eleven, what's that make this year?"[/B] says Saya as she braces herself for the Ice cold rinse water [B]"Fourty-three formal an casual"[/B] says Miya as she douses her mistress an friend with water so cold it makes her wince. [B]"Well at least she's slowing down, last year at this time it was sixty-five"[/B] Saya says before the second bucket of cold water hits her [B]"Actually Miss it was sixty-seven"[/B] corrects Miya as she steps aside allowing her Mistress to stand and enter the steaming water of her tub. As Saya lays her head back she feels Miya begin the laborious work of combing, treating an braiding her hair. While her maid works on her hair Saya thinks about her fateful meeting that night ////////////////////////////////////// [B][U]"The Fateful Meeting or Saya meets Kaz"[/U][/B] Saya arrived at the parking deck of the corporate office of the Kaidan Central Bank which served as a cover for the headquarters to the Order in Black's Kaidan Branch. She parked her sun burst yellow Orochi Kabuto sports car then swung the door up and exited leaving her civilian life behind with it. She was dressed as all Agents in a severe Black suit that lent her an air of danger and mystery. Her foot falls were as silent as falling snow as she made her way to the elevators. Once inside the steel box she took a last look of inspection of her appearance in the reflective surface of the door. Saya was by no means a vain girl but both her mother a model and her father a powerful industrialist had drilled her since she could recall about the importance of making a good first impression. When the elevator stopped Saya exited taking graceful strides but unhurried. She was here to meet her new Partner and Director: Akane Izanami whom she'd be working under. Entering the Lobby Saya used here eye for seeing those in power which was useful and often used at her parents parties. Her task was made easier by knowing the one she sought was a woman. She quickly spotted the woman that made everyone else in the room a little or a lot nervous. Walking over to the woman Saya stops and smiles softly as she bows asking [B]"I trust you are Director Izanami"i [/B] She then wits to discover if she's mistaken or correct in her assumption
