A/N: HOLY FLYING AND COLORFUL CRAP! SHE'S BACK! Damn, it's been such a long time, but I've finally decided to re-write this, 'cause it deserves better. This will not be a crossover, it will be Mortal Kombat only, but I am leaving an OC, not the same one, though. The main pairing will stay as Sub-Zero/OC but it might have a couple of surprises, tee hee hee.
Alright, guys. Italics are for thinking, so when I do this "He's a jerk." It means that wasn't said out loud.
Forgive my spelling, it might not be the best there is. English is not my native language as you might know, so if I have something wrong, feel free to let me know!
Well, that's it! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Mortal Kombat, the only thing I own here is my pathetic OC. So… yeah.
The day was barely starting as the Sun made its bright entrance, shining radiantly in the sky. There was this house, quite a simple house, actually, it was nothing special and it was traditional Japanese. The inside of this house looked old, but classy; with the usual kanji paintings, old jars, wooden furniture, etc. Now, heading upstairs, to the main dorm room, we find clothes and papers all over the place. The bed was traditional, on the floor. There was a body on the bed, the covers were wrapped around that body and half of them were on the floor.
Music started to come from the radio when the clock read '8:00 a.m.'. The body moved and it could now be seen as a female's. Her short black hair was sprawled all over the pillow. Sun rays had entered the window and began hitting her face. She groaned but finally woke up, adjusting her eyes to the sun light. The black haired girl sat down on the edge of the mattress and rubbed her face. She yawned and with a bit of an effort, she got up. The girl walked through the jungle of clothes papers, pens and rubbish to get to the bathroom. This girl had milky white skin, short black hair, and stunning icy blue eyes, though, there were slight traces of rings around them, since she hadn't been getting much sleep lately…
After doing the entire usual morning, take a bath, get changed, get breakfast, she walked to the entrance to put on her shoes, once she was up, she opened the door and left.
This town she lived in was quite colorful; trees here and there, nice and traditional buildings, parks for children, etc. It was Saturday, and the place where she was heading was where she worked at; a nice and popular drink spot. The building was really nice, on the outside it had these dark colors that consisted of a creamy brown, lined with a rustic green, and it had some details, along with the place's name, covered in neon orange, which gave it a bit of a spark. The sign read: "Akai's Café". The inside of the place was a mix of cultures, it did have the traditional Japanese looHisk, but the decorations were more on the side of the American look. It had floor-level tables, and customers along with workers were given slippers to walk around the place.
"Hey there, stranger." A voice said from the main counter.
The girl that had just entered turned around to see a familiar face. A guy standing on the opposite side of the counter, with a smiling face and a napkin that he was using to clean a brown spot. The guy had bright red haired, it had orange streaks and it looked like some bright spot you'd never lose sight of. His eyes were of a bright honey green, and his cheeks had small freckles on them.
"Good morning, Reddo-kun." She greeted. The guy now recognized as 'Reddo' was actually the owner of the place. His full name was Daisuke Niikura, but everyone called him 'Reddo'(red) because of his hair.
"How's it going Rin?" Reddo asked walking to the other side of the counter to greet her.
The girl now known by the name of 'Rin' walked towards him to have a formal greeting.
"Well, you know, the usual, just commin' to do my shift at work." She smiled.
"You know you have no need to do this, and that if you ever needed money I'd lend it to you." He said with a somewhat serious face.
"Oh, I know, it's just that, I get really bored at home, besides, I'd like to earn my own money." She said smiling as she walked to a door that had a sign: "Only personnel admitted."
The guy followed her through the door. "I still don't get how you like to work having a half of a fortune." He said shaking his head.
The girl was now putting on a shirt and an apron with the place's name and some decorating on it. The card on her apron read: "Hoshigake Rin". She walked out some dresser to meet with Reddo again, and with a simple tone, she said, "I told you already, it would be no fun to just be sitting at home like a couch potato. I like the feeling of getting my own money with my own effort."
He sighed. "Ah, fair enough. Let's get going, then." He opened the door to let her out, and followed.
Hoshigake Rin worked at Daisuke's(Reddo's) serving drinks, whether it was coffee, tea, sake, or even a simple soda; though, she would sometimes be a waitress. Rin and Daisuke had been friends for quite a long time, and he has always been insisting the girl on leaving the job, since, she didn't really have a 'need' for working. Rin's parents died when she was 17, and they were quite wealthy, so all of the inheritance went to Rin. She lived by herself, along with her butler, but Genji(butler) wasn't always there, like today. Though, he did have a room in the house. Rin's shift on Saturdays was from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00p.m. She actually enjoyed it there, it had nice music, and the atmosphere there was calm and peaceful, she couldn't have asked for a better job.
OoOoOoOxXxXxXxXxXxXxOoOoOoO
It was 1 o' clock in the afternoon, her shift was almost ending. The day had been going easy, not much work to be done; she had the role of a waitress to end her turn. The black haired girl had just poured some more coffee into a man's cup.
"Thanks." He muttered.
"You're welcome, sir." She chimed. As she looked up at him, she noticed he was wearing a scarf that covered half of his face. His eyes were honey yellow, his hair was jet black, not really combed and it reached half of his neck, his skin was of a beautiful tan, the part of his face that was uncovered had delicate but firm lines making him look manly. It wasn't until he looked at her with a puzzled but serene look on his face that she noticed she was staring.
"Something wrong?" he asked with a raspy and calmed voice.
She blushed a thousand shades of red. How embarrassing! This had never happened to her at work!
"I-I'm sorry, sir. I think I better get back at w-work." She stuttered and quickly went back to the small kitchen inside a door.
The man watched her go as he still wondered what had that been all about. Though, she had some icy blue eyes that reminded him of a certain someone… She shook his head slightly to clear his thoughts, so much had been through his mind lately, it was best to leave it for good and enjoy a day free from work.
Her red headed friend had seen it all, and as soon as she entered the kitchen he followed, chuckling. He opened the door and found her having a glass of water, cursing underneath her breath.
"Heeey, what happened back there?" he asked with a teasing voice.
She almost spit her water, but managed to keep her composure, she placed the glass down and looked up to see his smirking face.
"Oh, shut up." She said frowning but still with a bit of a blush on her cheeks.
"Alright then, I'm not telling you his name, or anything about him, for the matter." He said crossing his arms with a defying look on his face.
Rin's face lit up at his statement. "You… You know h-his name?" she asked wondered and curious.
"Of course I do, I know almost all of my customers names, unless they do not come so often. And that guy, he comes quite often, if I might say." He said with a matter-of-fact face.
"R-Really? How come I've never see him around?" she asked, still curious.
Daisuke chuckled. It was so rare to watch her like this over a guy. "Yes. Well, probably because he always sits on a table on the back corner and you attend the ones on the center. And he comes on his days off." He explained.
"Oh, I see… Days off? Where does he work at?" she asked, curiosity was taking the best of her.
He still watched amused as her eyes lit up every time the conversation kept on going. "I can't tell you that." He smirked.
She was taken aback with that answer, clearly not something she was expecting. "Huh? Why not?" She asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"I'm not allowed to."
"Pfft, fine. Can I at least have his name?" she pouted.
"Hm… I don't know… Do you think you deserve it?" he teased.
"Oh, stop acting like it's a big deal!"
"Hey, you're the one that's interested, not me, darling." He chuckled.
"…" She frowned.
"Alright, alright, you can have his name." he said in defeat.
Her face lit up again, and she waited for the words to come out of his mouth, oh-so-eagerly.
"The name's Hasashi… Hasashi Hanzo…" he finally said.
