Chapter 1: To meet you for the first time
"Order up! Table 2 is ready!"
Zero rushed to the front grabbing the tray and balancing it in his right hand while the other hand was balancing another tray. He looked really talented as he skillfully swerved and dodged around other waiters as he balanced heavy trays.
"Sorry for the wait." Zero swiftly balanced the other rounded tray on his forearms and against his chest as he took and placed everything else that was in his right hand in front of the costumers.
"It's not a problem especially since we were so lucky as to get a hot waiter like you." The greedy man reached out his hand and gave Zero's butt as smack.
Zero gritted his teeth. He had to remind himself constantly that if he hit one more costumer then he was going to get fired.
"You can't keep sending everyone who touched you to the hospital Zero. Next time you lay one finger on a costumer you're fired!"
Zero remembered clearly what his boss Toga told him. He really needed this job
"Please excuse me, but I have other tables to serve." Zero carried the empty tray back up front. As he was on his way to the other table he passed another waitress and heard her mumble on and on about perverted bastards. He sympathized with her.
"Sorry for the long wait." Zero took their drinks off the tray and asked who's drink belonged to who because he wasn't the one to take their order.
"Does anyone know what they want yet?" Zero took out his little pad and pencil always prepared to take an order.
"Yeah I'll have a piece of you sexy. How's about you mess around with us after work?" The man started to reach for Zeros butt.
"Rich perverted bastards! They always think they can have it their way!" Zero backed up a little to avoid contact with the man's perverted hand.
"I will take that as a no." Zero gritted out between clenched teeth. Zero put his pad and pencil back in his little pouch. He was really ,really trying not to hurt anyone tonight.
"You're a slut anyway."
Zero stopped in his tracks.
"What did you just say?"
"Hey cute stuff come hang out with me and my buds."
The drunken man slurd as he advanced on the women followed by 3 other men.
"Please I don't have anything so leave us alone."
"us?" the man looked down witnessing the small silver haired child for the first time who was clutching his mothers leg protectively.
"Then let them both come play with us." The other man announced who wasn't so drunk.
The man reached out to grab the women's arm who started to scream and struggle in the man's firm grip.
"Stop struggling you slut! "
"Zero run!" the women cried out to her some pleading him to get away.
"Mamma!" Zero ran to his mom and tried desperately to beat the man's leg to stop him from hurting his mother.
"Zero nooooo."
"Shut up dam slut!" (slap)
That was the last thing Zero heard before the man kicked zero hard in the gut making him pass out and the darkness surround him.
"I said you're a sl… (PUNCH)
The man hit the floor hard knocking over his chair in the process.
"Y..You can't do that!" The other man pointed an accusing finger at Zero. Zero glared at the man who instantly closes his mouth.
"I want to speak to your manager you jerk!" Another man who was at the same table stood up.
By now everyone in the restaurant was looking at them. Zero didn't care. He wasn't going to just stand there and let some rich perverts molest him!
"That enough." Everyone turned to the new voice. Zero knew it to well.
"Toga." Zero looked back at the man on the floor. His friends were helping him up as he held onto his nose that seemed to be broken. Before the man left to go to the bathroom to take care of his assaulted nose he gave zero and evil glare mouthing the words. "you're going to pay for this kid"
"Gentlemen please allow me to apologies for my employee's behavior tonight. For your table the food will be on me."
The remaining men grumbled but sat down. They were not about to pass up a free meal even if they were rich. Everyone else settled back down as well.
"Zero." Toga motioned for Zero to follow him. Zero cast his vision down and started to walk after his boss slowly he gulped as they reach his bosses office.
*******************
"What don't you understand Zero?!" Yagari threw his hands up in the air.
"I don't understand why I have to accept being molested by these men!"
"You have to deal with it!"
"I try Toga! I try every dam day of the week to put up with these bastards!"
"well try being professional about it!"
"What part about working in a restaurant as a waiter professional Toga?!" Zero slammed his hands on the desk in front of him. Toga sighed running his hand through his long wavy black hair.
"look Zero I'm not going to fire you, but please try harder. I know you need this job and I'm really trying not to fire you, but you keep slipping up. Just promise me it won't happen again."
"I'm sorry but I can't promise you it won't happen again."
Yagari sighed again.
"But I will try harder."
"That's good enough for now."
Zero sighed he just couldn't hold it in much longer.
"It's just that he brought up memories from my past that I would like to forget."
"I know Zero and I'm sorry."
"Don't be." Both men looked around awkwardly. It sometimes got like this when they talk about Zero's past. Yagari walked to his door and opened it
"Go home for today. There isn't much to do tonight anyway." Zero nodded and walked to the door. As Zero began to pass his boss Toga reached out and rubbed Zeros head like he always did when Zero was much younger.
"Take care Zero. See you tomorrow." Zero grunted as he left his boss office and exited the restaurant.
******************
"Please kaname?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"pretty please with a cherry on top?"
"I hate cherries."
"Ugh Kaname we haven't gone on a date not once!"
"Ruka I do not have time for meaningless thing like that."
"Meaningless? You mean you don't have time for your own fiancée!?"
"You knew what this was going to be like. Neither of us wanted this…..
"No you didn't want it, but Kaname I love you I know you feel the same way deep down inside! Why else would you have drunken my blood? I know it will take some time for you to accept your feelings for me. I know it will happen eventually."
She was never going to get it was she? No matter how many times Kaname ignored her she would still keep pushing. He didn't like her that way. He was never going to fall in love with her. Being forces to marry someone was painfully especially if you didn't like the person at all to begin with. Ruka was pretty but he just wasn't attracted to her at all.
"Just be ready for our date tomorrow night sweetie." She kissed him quickly on the cheek before exciting kanames chambers. She knew better then to kiss him on the lips because he wouldn't allow it.
Kaname viciously rubbed his cheek as if trying to remove a dead bug. Then Kaname had an idea to keep her away from him. If it's one thing he knew about Ruka it was that she was terrified of dogs. Some vampire. A dog sounded like a good idea for Kaname after all he never had the chance to have one as a child.
*****************
Zero arrived at his apartment after walking for a half an hour. He didn't have the money for the bus at the moment. He let himself in while switching on the lights that illuminated the room. The apartment surprisingly didn't look half bad. The paint still looked polished, the flooring was covered in clean grayish carpet, his furnisher was neat and in place, and he had elegant paintings hung on the walls.
"Home sweet home." Zero exhaled.
He loved coming home because there was someone who was always happy to see him when he got back.
"Rose here girl." Zero whistled. It only took two seconds until a very excited miniature poodle came running into few from one of the back rooms. She reached up on her hind legs begging to be pat. And Zero did all too happily.
"How's my girl? Were you lonely without me?" Zero always thought that he would be a jerk to everyone forever until he became friends with Rose. At first it surprised him that he could be so loving to her sooner or later he accepted it. He only ever showed this side of him to his one and only girl.
"Let's go for a walk okay girl?" The dog known as Rose whined as she waged her tail anxiously. Zero stood beside the door and let Rose walk out first in front of him. He walked out next while closing the door and locking behind him.
He trusted Rose without a leash. He had her since he was a child so she was getting old for dog years she didn't act like an old dog. She still seemed pumped on energy every day.
After about 20 minutes of walking and running after the other they reach a secluded field with random Sakura trees here and there. Zero repeatedly threw sticks for Rose fetch and bring back. Yes these were the good time.
Rose was a very elegant looking dog. She had black curly hair with a white stretched diamond shape, going across her chest. Her lower belly was an all white creamy color. Zero loved his dog he truly did but he didn't want to be the women with the 16 cats who lived 3 doors down from him. That thought made Zero chuckle. Just then Rose came back with the stick in her mouth looking up questionably at her owner and long term friend.
"Ready to go home girl?" Rose barked and stood on her hind legs.
Zero smiled down sweetly at her. It was becoming harder and harder to take care of her each passing year. She even had to go hungry for two days once. Zero felt that she deserved a lot better. Zero kept telling himself that she needed an owner that would take care of her properly but the only problem that was keeping him from letting her go was that he was selfish. He wanted someone to always be home when he got there, he needed someone to touch and talk to, he needed someone to make him smile. But he couldn't keep being so selfish! He had to let her go. Put her up for adoption. He really hated that idea.
Rose could somehow feel Zero's distress so she nuzzled his leg trying to comfort him. He looked down at her and she looked up at him he smiled while shaking his head and rubbing her head murmuring his thanks.
"Okay. Zero stood stretching slightly. Let's go home"
**************************
"Zero hurry and get table 6 order will you?" Zero nodded picking it up and carrying it to the right table.
"Thanks for waiting." Zero handed the two ladies their food
"Excuse me young sir but can you tell us something?" The women asked sweetly. Zero nodded.
"I hear there is going to be a very popular celebrities coming here tonight. Do you know who they may possible be?"
Zero there are very important costumers who will be dinning here tonight so please……please behave. Yuki can't make it tonight and I can't get a fill in for her place. It's going to be packed tonight and everyone else is already assigned tables. The people that will be coming tonight only need one waiter for the whole night and that person has to have them as their ONLY waiter they may not serve anyone else. I need you to take care of the special costumers tonight. Can you do that Zero?"
"No I don't know anything about it sorry." It didn't sound much of an apology. Zero turned and left before the women could say anything else.
As the night progress it was getting closer and closer until the 'special costumers' arrive Zero couldn't believe he was getting nervous! Just then around the craze that was going on in the packed restaurant the door open. The special guest had arrived. Zero spotted toga at the door talking to two figures he couldn't make them out clearly because of all the people who tried to surround them. Toga walked off with the costumers trailing behind. They walked behind sliding doors at the back of the restaurant. 5 minutes later Toga walked out talking to two waiters telling them to slide the door open for Zero whenever he came in the check on the two customers. Zero sighed. Tonight was going to be a long one.
"Zero they're ready for you now." Toga lightly squeezed Zeros shoulder half warning half encouraging. Zero took a deep breath before walking up to the sliding doors. The two women on the ends were on their knees sliding the door open as if they were in A Geisha house. Zero hesitantly stepped in. The room was dim compared to the outside lighting. Zero fixed his eyes on a circular table decorated for two as if they were one a date with a long table cloth covering their waist down. He looked up to see a women dressed in a long black dress. Her hair was pinned up and she had a beautiful expression on her face. As Zero walked further into the room he finally looked over at the person that sat next to the sandy blond. Zero steps faltered a little when he laid eyes on what looked to be a Japanese angel sent from heaven! He was beautiful. His long wavy brown hair reminded him of Toga. His long lashes with those pools of red-ish orbs. He traveled lover to the perfect nose and those sculpted lips. They looked tempting. Soft sweet and desirable. He had to swallow to avoid drooling.
"Are you the waiter that will be serving us tonight?" Kaname asked gently giving zero a breath takinh smile.
"y..yes." Zero mentally slapped himself for acting like a girl in love! Zero wasn't all that surprised that he found the male to be interestingly beautiful.
"I will be your waiter Kiyru Zero."
I really like is one. ^_^ please feel free and massage me! I will fix mess ups soon.
