When strangers collide

[Kubotan]

A Black Dragon followed by a Sabre slowly enters the vicinity of Kabukicho Depot.

A hangar operator spots them on the radar instrument and initiates a transmission.

"This is hangar operator Yamazaki, you have entered Hogosha space, please identify yourself."

Hideki bends his head down a bit and replies back. [color=#FFFFFF]"Konnichiwa brother. This is Hideki, the Sabre which is flying behind me is with me. Please grant us access to dock."

The hangar operator mumbles something but Hideki couldn't make out what he said.

"Are you there?" Hideki asks with a worried tone.

"Oh yes, my apologies. You and your... friend are clear for docking at Hangar 1A."

The two vessels drifts in and gently lands on separate docking pads.

As the exit door slid open from the Sabre a foreign-looking woman with dark-brown hair takes a few steps out before she aborts her walking and starts observing the unfamiliar environment.

Hideki starts hastily moving towards her. "Welcome to Kabukicho Depot, Samantha." He says with a proud voice.

"Sure looks busy."

"Hai. This is basically the area where they manage all incoming vessels as well as a few other things which I'm not allowed to tell you."

"What, you don't trust me Hideki?" She teases him.

"Well I... it's not-"

Samantha giggles and interrupts his sentence. "I'm just fooling around. Now where shall we go?"

"Ah well, I was simply going to show you your room and hand over the keys."

"Why can't I sleep in your room?"

Hideki looks downwards with his eyes. "Well umm... there is only one bed."

Samantha smiles. "Well that's fine with me!"

"But you know, security measures and all that stuff. It's better if you stay in a separate room, mine is attached to the Yakuza compound. It might cause problems for your to be there." Hideki excuses himself.

"Oh... ok." Samantha replies quietly.

Hideki starts moving and signals Samantha to follow him. They go through two check-points and through various narrow corridors. Finally they reach the small residential area for guests. He hands over her a set of keys and a small communications device. "You will stay at room 201, if you require food, water or anything of similar nature simply send me a signal and I will take care of it."

"Okay. But where will you go now?"

"I'm quite tired and the night has soon arrived. I will be heading off to sleep." Hideki turns around and starts walking away.

"Wait, Hideki!" Samantha yells and gives him a hug.

Hideki gets taken by surprise and doesn't manage to utter a single word. A few seconds later Samantha finally releases him from her grip. Hideki stands still for a moment reflecting on what just happened and then resumes his walking, as he is heading towards his private quarters he feels a little embarrassed.
