Challenge [TohmaXNanami fanfic]
Warnings: The fanfic may contain spoilers for those who watch the English version. By the way, I've watched only the Japanese version of this season, so I use the Japanese names. The fic is rated T just to be on the safe side.
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.

1. In charge
Nanami skimmed through the videogame designs she had made. As soon as she made sure they were perfect as always, she tidied them on her desk and allowed herself to lay off a little.
When she had begun with that job, she had done so for the money. She had expected to find it boring or even to hate it, but she didn't. Sure, it wasn't the most challenging thing for a genius, but to her surprise, she actually enjoyed it.
Due to the fact that she had been a Digimon, she was the only person in the whole company who could understand how it felt to fight, and, what's more, how it felt to win an actual battle. And that feeling she was trying to transmit to the customers whenever she designed a videogame.
Thanks to her intellect, her attempts had been successful, leading her to rise quite quickly in the chain of command. She had become the vice-chairwoman of the company, and since the managing director was old and tired, most responsibilities fell upon her shoulders.
In fact, that very day, the chairman had gone off to some business, leaving her in charge. In charge... she liked the sound of it... she didn't have to bear with all the fools; she could just tell them to shut up.
Actually, things had begun to improve ever since she got her current position; she'd been allowed to choose a secretary among her former colleagues, and she'd chosen Mikan, who, according to Nanami, was the least idiotic. And things would get even better when she got the position of the old man... it was just a matter of time, she knew it was.
The phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. She picked it up. It was her secretary, Mikan.
"Hello, Hakumei-sama..." Mikan said. She sounded hesitant.
"Tell me, Mikan," Nanami said impatiently. Why doesn't she say straight what the matter is instead of wasting my time?
"They're asking for the managing director and since he isn't here I thought I should put them through to you..." said Mikan.
"Who are they?" Nanami asked.
Mikan's voice trailed even more. "It's some guy from that medical constitution that claims that our products are extra-dangerous... they aren't, right?"
Nanami snorted. "Put him through to me," she said, too annoyed to answer Mikan's question. I can't understand their way of thinking. We're just giving them more patients, which means more money. Why don't they just leave us alone?
"Aye," said Mikan.
Nanami held on and before long she heard a male voice coming from the other side of the line.
"Hello... Am I speaking to the managing director of EdgeGames?"
"No, he's not here at the moment, but I am the second in command. You may tell me what you wished to tell him... I've been told about the constitution you represent. By the way, it would be good if you let me know who I'm speaking to," Nanami said, trying to sound as polite and sweet as possible.
"My name is Tohma Norstein. You may have heard of me," he said, a little too modestly for someone who had won the Nobel Prize.
Nanami froze, her fingers grasping the earphone so tightly that the joints had gone white, as the memories began to flood her mind.

Author notes: This is my first ever romance-oriented fanfic, so it probably sucks... The surname I gave Nanami, Hakumei, means twilight (I found the translation in an English-Japanese online dictionary). I think it suits Nanami well.
I started to write this fic mainly because I needed something to get me out of my writer's block with Digimon 5 squared... and partly because I like Tonami and I can't seem to find such a fic anywhere. I'm not sure whether I'll continue it or not. Anyways, reviews and criticism are welcome, flames are useless.
