Chapter 2: Kazama Inc
'What a strange day this is turning out to be' Harri thought as he steadily made his way of the forest. His cheeks started to turn red in remembrance of the kiss he and Haru had at the end. 'And that was my first kiss too' he turned even redder.
A bright light hit him in the face, taking off from his trail of thought. Looking up, he noticed that he was in a clearing in the forest. His emerald green eyes searched the area, lighting up as he found the abundance of wildlife in the area. Trees were arranged in a way that the clearing was a full circle. Looking up again, he found hi8mself being dwarfed, for the trees were so high that they at the least had to 20 feet tall. Deciding to get rid of the slight inferiority complex that was beginning to bloom from his small stature, he returned to observing the area around him. In the center of the area was a sakura tree, its soft pink petals falling to the ground. In front of the tree sat a stone, a strange and ordinary looking stone from his perspective. And apparently starting from the stone was a circular dome of wild flowers in full bloom.
Having basked in the areas warm glow, Harri started to walk past the area, heading for the area behind the cherry tree that he could hear an engine at. As he walked by the stone, a strange feeling of loss and helplessness surged through his mind.
"…Wait…"
Harry spun around, looking for the mysterious voice. He saw nothing. Rubbing his head he muttered "get it together Harry".
He never noticed the silver blue glow that surrounded the stone.

The sight of modern sidewalks and the waiting yellow cab caused Harri to release a sigh. While his ancient estate was peaceful; with its beautiful greenery, the sight of the modern world was something that was dearly missed, especially since the magical world took no concrete to make their streets, but kept to old fashioned dirt.
A voice shouted from his right quickly got his attention. It was the taxi driver he had called. "Hey! Are you Potter-san?"
Having not wanted to be stared at or anything for being a Kazama, Harri had used his father's last name instead of his new name, seeing as how Kazama Inc was notorious for its reputation and state of the line products.
"Yes sir, I am." Giving a smile to everyone that wasn't your enemy was a lesson that Harry learned not only for his experience as the boy-who-lived, but also what his goblin instructors had taught him. It could prove to be helpful when wanting to make allies or making your enemy underestimate him in a corporate battle.
The taxi driver smiled back, "well come on in kid, times wasting". As it would appear, the lesson on smiling at strangers has worked and the taxi driver has loosened up around him.
Still smiling, Harri walked up to the backdoor passenger seat and calmly stepped in. "Thank you very much for driving me sir"
The guy grinned, "No problem kid, and none of that sir business, the names Riley, the best driver in town".
"Ok Riley, my name is Harri".
Riley asked, looking through the rearview mirror "Ok Harri, so where are we heading to?"
Green eyes sparkling, he replied "Kazama Inc's main building"
Whistling, Riley replied as he started to drive the car, "that's a weird place for a kid like you to be going".
Smiling slightly and having already prepared a back up story for occasions like these, Harri replied, "My father works there, we had just been transferred to the Japanese Bauru, and he forgot his wallet"
"So you guys just moved here?" Harri nodded, "Where from?"
"From Britain" was Harri's short reply.
Whistling, Riley once again looked at the rearview mirror. "That's pretty far, and you seemed to pick up the language pretty fast, but you'll most likely get a shock at the culture change. Japan is very different from Britain"
Now curious, Harri asked "have you been to Britain before Riley?"
"Not Britain, but America. And America has a lot of Asian goods and culture, and it was a huge change for me when I moved here. And from what I know, Britain does not have a lot of Japanese goods ". (I wrote this with no offense to those who read this story and are from Britain. I am simply too lazy to research and this helps move the story along)
'I had a culture shock 3 years ago, thank you very much. Magical Britain is like stepping into the late 1400s then the regular world. Compared to the Wizarding World, Japan looks a lot like Britain, even the culture is a breath of fresh air.' Of course, Harri said none of this aloud. Muggles knew nothing of the magical world, and he was not about to break that law for this person. Obliviating muggles were just not his thing.
"I do believe I will adjust nicely, but thank you for the warning"
"No problem"
The rest of the ride was spent in silence, Riley concentrating on his driving, and Harri taking in the area so that he knows where everything is.

"Thank you for the ride" Harri said through the passenger window. The pair had finally arrived at the building, and now it was up to Harri to make the next steps.
"No problem Harri. Just give me a call if you ever need a ride" Riley found Harri to be a very charming young man. For a kid, he sure had manners. Of course, he didn't know that Harri was just about to become 15, and was not the 12 year old he looked to be.
With a nod and a farewell, Riley was off, Leaving Harri at the building's entrance.
"Time to get to work", he said to the wind.

Things had gone smoothly with the company's takeover. Niwa Kazuki, the acting CEO, had become the vice president, allowing Harri to take over as the heir and president. All in all, he considered it to be a good day's work. He just wasn't looking forward to tomorrow.
"Who wants to go to high school?"
End Chapter 2
AN: I am so sorry that it took me over a year just to post this one chapter up. I had already finished the chapter last year, but my old computer broke down and I lost all my data, including this chapter. Then as I started to rewrite, I found that I didn't like the chapter or how the story was progressing, so I changed the remaining chapters until it fit. Then finals came up for the fall semester and then I received news that me and my family was moving, so the last few months I have spent most of my time packing for the move and studying for my last set of finals. And these last 2 months I have been spending unpacking, enrolling in my new school and going through a beach withdrawal. I rushed doing this chapter in the last 3 days, so it isn't my best work.
On further note, I most likely won't be able to update often, maybe once every couple of months, but I will try. I think I went over the top be signing up for 12 classes, so I'll be pretty busy.
On that note, I have finished outlining and writing the story at 26 chapters, so I won't have any more writers block.
So please review.
