Author's Note : This is a Deidara MINI SERIES. =) It'll be in SIX parts. I hope you all like it!

I sighed as I looked up at the tall building.

Akatsuki Corporation. The most prestigious corporation in the world… And they had accepted me as the secretary of the Boss of Section D.

See, since Akatsuki was so big and the ones that started it were all friends, it was separated into different Sections, and the each of those friends was the Boss of their specific Section.

I checked my clothes.

My black pencil skirt that reached my knees looked fine. No stains. My white office shirt was neatly tucked in and buttoned up to the top, my black cardigan was also unblemished. Though I was trying to look professional, the outfit still –and unintentionally- hugged my womanly curves and made my already voluptuous breasts look even bigger. I checked to make sure my black tights weren't torn, and then I checked to make sure my black Mary Jane's were undamaged. I quickly took out my small mirror from my hand bag. I checked my long, wavy dark brown hair. It was nearly tied up in a tight bun with only my side-fringe neatly tucked behind my ear. My snow white skin contrasted with my dark brown eyes, thick and long black eyelashes, and thin black eyebrows, so I wore my thick-rimmed black glasses to hide them. I didn't want to stand out. Lastly, due to the fullness of my red lips, I had applied light pink lip balm to try to blend the colour more with my skin… Though, I failed in doing so. I put the mirror back into my bag and walked inside the building.

I walked up to the reception desk. A woman sat there. She looked up at me coldly.

"How may I help you?" she asked, eying me up and down. The woman wore a pink suit and an ungodly amount of make-up. Her blonde hair was unkempt and her blue eyes looked cold… And cloudy. I guessed she was hung-over…

"Uh, yes. My name is Kaya Stoker… I'm the new secretary for-" I began, but I was cut off by a voice behind me.

"Ah, Miss Stoker," came a polite voice. I turned around and came face-to-face with a man, probably in his thirties. He had black hair and a kind smile. He was the man who had interviewed me.

"Oh, Mr Yamaguchi! Good evening," I greeted, glad that I no longer had to deal with the hung-over girl glaring at the back of my head.

"I'll take you to the Boss," he said, turning around. I followed him to the elevator, and was silent throughout the entire time inside the elevator. Once on the right floor (incidentally, the top floor, so the elevator ride took quite a while), he led me out and towards a very large, black door. He opened it, and led me through the various wall-less offices. I was already being stared at, and I hadn't started working, yet.

He led me to a door and knocked twice.

"Enter, un," came a masculine voice. He opened the door, and went inside. I followed and shut the door behind me.

"Deidara-sama, this is Kaya Stoker. Your new personal secretary," introduced Mr Yamaguchi. "Miss Stoker, Deidara-sama is your new Boss and you will address him either as 'Boss' or as 'Deidara-sama'. Understood?"

I bowed slightly.

"Thank you very much, Deidara-sama. I look forward to working for you," I said formally, straightening up. I discreetly checked his features. He had long blonde hair which hung loosely down his back. He also had the most beautiful piercing blue eyes, and in general, he was gorgeous –and obviously toned, under that black and red suit of his.

He smirked at me.

"Ne, Mr Yamaguchi, you hired such a geek to be my assistant, un," he mocked. Mr Yamaguchi flushed.

"She's competent, Deidara-sama. You will not be disappointed," he replied confidently.

"Deidara-sama, I am very competent. I will prove it to you," I replied, my eyes flaming with determination. Deidara-sama's smirk faltered for a moment, and then he smirked again.

"We'll see, un. Mr Yamaguchi, un, show Kaya her new office," said Deidara-sama, smirking at me again. Mr Yamaguchi bowed, and I bowed in turn, as Mr Yamaguchi led me out of that room, and to my new office. It was right in front of Deidara-sama's office, and it had no walls.

Well, obviously. I was his secretary. People had to go through me to see him.

I checked my new desk.

It had everything I would need. Computer, note pad, phone, stationary, etc. It had it all.

I looked around the room and bit my lip. The other workers were all so lazy and disorganised!

Mr Yamaguchi bid me farewell, and he left the room.

One of my new female co-workers walked over to me.

"Ano… Kaya Stoker, right? Yamaguchi-san told us. My name is Ayame Mitsune," she said with a friendly smile. I smiled back.

"Nice to meet you," I replied.

"I know you've just arrived and all… But, I really need help with this…" she said, blushing with embarrassment. I smiled and nodded, glad to be needed.

"Sure, just show me what's wrong," I replied kindly.

Ayame led me to the photocopier.

"I tried everything to photocopy this," she said, holding up a document. "But, it's not working. The red-button keeps flashing."

I examined the photocopier. I checked it, until I found the problem.

"It's like this…" I began explaining the problem to her, and showed her how to fix it if it ever happened again. She smiled and thanked me.

"You're a life-saver, Kaya-chan!" she squealed, and resumed with her work.

Two others walked over to me.

"Kaya-san, my name is Toshiro Kuromichi," said the male.

"And I'm Kenji Matsumoto," said the other.

"Hajimemashite," I replied. They smiled, more encouraged.

"We have to leave early today to attend a wedding, and so all our work will be left undone, and-" began Toshiro. I smiled and cut him off.

"Leave it to me, Kuromichi-san, Matsumoto-san," I replied determinedly. They thanked me, breathing in relief and showed me their desks and their left-over work.

I completed those easily.

After checking to see if anyone else needed help, I walked back to my desk.

Incidentally, the moment I sat down, the phone rang.

I picked it up.

"Good evening, Akatsuki Section D. Deidara-sama's office. This is Secretary Kaya Stoker speaking. How may I help?" I said into the receiver.

"Oi, un, you need to do something for me. Now!" It was my new Boss. Couldn't he have just asked me in person?

"Hai, Deidara-sama?" I replied. This was gonna be a long day.

***

In the end, Deidara-sama had given me a whole list of near-impossible tasks. All of which I completed perfectly and before the due deadline… Which was within a few hours of being ordered.

At the end of the day, everyone went home… Except myself and my new Boss.

I checked everyone's desks and finished their unfinished work, as I promised I would.

Even though it was my first day, I had already made good friends with everyone.

Deidara-sama walked out of his office just as I was about to leave.

"I get why Yamaguchi picked you, un," he said with a smirk.

"Even though you're a geek, you really are competent, un," he said, eying me up and down mockingly. I merely smiled.

"Thank you, Deidara-sama," I replied.

He smirked once more and left.

I locked up everything before also leaving.

I bid goodbye to the security guards, and ran to catch the bus.

It took me a good hour to get home.

My home was a two bedroom apartment in a middle class area of Konohagakure. It was small, but since only me and my mother lived here, it was fine.

The apartment was on the third floor of a building with ten floors.

It had two bathrooms, both attached to the bedrooms. One kitchen and one lounge. All the rooms were small, but they were cosy.

Occasionally, my older brother would come visit –though, since he lived in Sunagakure, it wasn't that often.

We also had a pet cat called Dango. Mostly 'cause both my mom and I LOVE dango. It tastes great.

In case you're wondering about my name, Kaya Stoker, I'm not full Japanese.

My father was English. He died when I was younger. He was diagnosed with heart cancer, and he died only three months after we found out.

I was eight years old, then.

My mom did the best she could for us. She was lucky to have gone to university, because she managed to get high-paying jobs. But, she was fired a lot…

Mom's bosses were all quite lecherous, and mom herself is very pretty and young-looking (even though she was twenty-five when she had my brother, and twenty-seven when she had me).

So, because she had to fight off a lot of perverts, it was almost impossible for her to get a steady one.

It's because of my Mom's experiences with men that I'd much rather look like a geek than doll myself up.

My brother, too, began working when he was sixteen to help us out. But, then when he was hired by the Sunagakure Secret Agency, he had to move. He can only send us money once every two months, even though he makes a lot, because of a policy the SSA have. He's twenty-seven years old, now. I'm twenty-five.

I petted Dango and went into my room, putting my bag up on its hook.

I got changed into my pyjamas and went to the kitchen.

Mom smiled.

"Kaya! How was work?" she asked. I smiled.

"Good. My Boss is a weirdo, but my co-workers are great," I replied, pouring myself a glass of orange juice as my mom placed down tonight's dinner.

Sushi with onigiri and miso soup.

My favourite, actually.

We ate and talked about random things, occasionally laughing at Dango when she tried to jump on to the table and eat our sushi.

I went to bed feeling peaceful that night…

I had no idea that the day I met Deidara would be the most fateful day of my life.

Me: There, Deidara. The Mini Series I promised you. =)

Deidara: YOU ROCK, UN! You made me look so cool! o.o

Itachi: Must have been really hard. -smirks-

Deidara: OI!

Me: ... XD It was fun to write.

Sasori: ... This is seriously over-due. You promised Deidara a Mini Series quite a while ago.

Me: Yeah, I know. But, unfortunately, I'm bombarded with a lot of things in my life. =/ So, you know, I can't write as much as I would like to.

Sasori: Well, I would like a Mini Series or something, as well.

Me: And, worry not, you will get one. So will Hidan.

Hidan: HELL YEAH!

Me: =)

Sasori: Thank you.

Itachi: Why am I the only one with that retarded 'Akatsuki Havoc' Katana girl?! And with an Uchihacest Yaoi story?! It's gross.

Me: Because it's hilarious. =)

Itachi: And...?

Me: And I luffles you so much that I cannot bear to write a serious story for you! -dramatic sigh-

Itachi: -smirks- Much better. Even if you are making a joke out of it, I know you mean it.

Me: -rolls eyes- Yeah, yeah. Just hurry up and materialize into my world already!!
