Chapter 1: Mouse Named Yoru
Amu sighed. Another boring day at her boring job. School was out for the summer, and all her friends were gone to some beach party while she had to stay and work because her parents didn't trust her! So now she watched her sister Ami and Ami's baby sitter Utau eat tacos and yell at Amu to mop up a soda spill or some random crap like that.
"Do it yourself Utau!" she grumbled while she handed an elderly man his chicken taco.
"I don't work here, Amu-chan!" Utau answered.
"No! You're just a wanna-be popstar working at Barns & Nobles!" Amu retorted.
"At least I have a dream! I don't spend my summers working at Tacobell waiting for some miracle to save me from my boring mediocre life!"
"PSH! I DON'T NEED THIS!" Amu threw off her ridiculous hat and called for Saaya, a real bitchy coworker of Amu's, to take over. Saaya threw a dirty look at Amu, but with their manager Sanjo standing there, there wasn't much she could do.
Amu ran into the break room and shut the door with a loud bang. After a moment of silence a few mice peaked their heads out. Amu smiled, these mice she had rescued their family from a storm long ago. She'd kept them in her house until her mom found one and nearly killed it, so she moved them here, but only into the break room. She told them specifically to behave themselves. It was just her own special power; she could talk to animals. She hadn't always been able to do that though, one day she woke up and there it was.
"Ran, Miki, Suu, Dia, Kiseki, Daichi, Rhythm, KusuKusu, Temari, Iru, Eru, Pepe, Musashi you can come out! It's alright!" The mice scurried in front of her. Their faces glowed delightedly and then they started to randomly sing.
"Tacobella, Tacobella
All I hear is Tacobella, from the moment I get up
till Sanjo locks the front door
There isn't any letup, I hear them order, ordering
Order up, wash the dishes and go fix that soda machine, you can do them
all together
At Tacobell.
How awesome summer would be if I could spend it with my friends
Yet instead of beach parties a bunch of kids are screaming
At Tacobella!"
Amu laughed. Those mice of hers were ridiculously odd. Then she heard Saaya screaming.
"Eh!? What is it—" Amu rushed back into the kitchen only to find a fuzzy mouse with purplish fur nibbling on a fish taco. (A/N: C'MON YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS! ITS OBVIOUS!) Amu gasped. She'd never seen a mouse like that in her life. Saaya started screaming insanely.
"AAAAAAAH! EW! EW EW EW EW EW! EEEEEEEW!!!!! GET IT AWAY!!!!!" Saaya picked up a tray and started swatting at the mouse. The mouse squeaked and rampaged through the pile of to-be-washed dishes towards the outside. Sanjo started chucking pots and pans at the poor creature.
"GET OUT!!!!!" Sanjo turned to Amu, "CATCH IT! If the health department finds out!" Sanjo shuddered at the thought of her investment going down the drain all because of one oddly colored mouse.
"Y-y-yes!" Amu stuttered and ran after the poor guy. With all her might she called for the creature, praying her ability with animals wouldn't suddenly give out as it sometimes did.
Then she caught sight of its thick tail and leapt after it. Only barely catching it she tried her best to sooth it. Quietly she petted the thing's fluffy fur.
"There, there. I won't hurt you. You're alright." she mumbled, then looked the mouse in the eyes. It glared up at her with patronizing eyes, "Now don't look at me that way! So cold! You think you can take care of yourself, but if Sanjo-san ever catches you around here again she's getting a cat."
"Psh! Cat's don't scare me!" the mouse's fur puffed up indignantly.
"AMAZING!" Amu exclaimed, holding the creature's foot and letting it hang upside-down, swaying back and forth, "I've never in all my years met a suicidal mouse! Or are you just stupid?" Amu poked his belly, "Well you're a bit of a chubby one aren't you? I'm gonna name you..." Amu looked around and then spotted the rapper for last night's special deal for the beginning of summer, "YORU!" she proclaimed. (A/N: Yoru means night in Japanese, at least that's what my Japanese teacher says, and I'll take her word for it.)
"That's a dumbass name you dumbass!" Yoru muttered as he scratched at Amu's hand, trying to get free. Amu grabbed Yoru in her hands and shook him.
"Say that again!" She dared him, but he was too dizzy to respond, so Amu got up, brushed off her uniform, and went into the break room handing Yoru over to the other mice.
"AMU!!!!! DID YOU KILL THAT THING!?" Sanjo demanded desperately. She was clutching a large fly swatter.
"Don't worry Sanjo, I took care of it," Was Amu's carefully worded response, "There shouldn't be anymore problems with mice or other pests, ok?" Sanjo relaxed and set down the fly swatter. Running her fingers through her hair she whispered,
"Thank goodness." glancing at Amu she then barked, "NOW WHAT ARE YOU LAZING AROUND FOR YOU'RE BREAK WAS OVER A LONG TIME AGO! BE CAREFUL OR I MIGHT DOCK YOUR PAY!" Sanjo marched Amu out to the kitchen and slammed the break room door shut.
As Amu worked she wouldn't have even dared imagine what kind of things were happening at the big company, Easter, just down the road.
"Tsukiyomi-san!" Tadase called after his long time superior. So many years he'd spent tailing after that guy, just waiting for a chance to be the one giving orders, but no luck yet. Tadase finally managed to dash in front of his boss's son and future owner of the Easter organization, "Tsukiyomi-san!" he shouted again, "Your father is funding this company party for you! You can't just leave!"
Ikuto snorted, "For me huh?" he put his hand on Tadase's shoulder, "Tadase, you've been around ever since your uncle signed you up for a job here! Which was a very long time ago indeed, so you should have realized that my father always has an ulterior motive! This party is not and never was something to take my mind off having to work all summer!" Ikuto shoved Tadase out of the way, "That said I don't owe him anything! I'm leaving!"
"Tsukiyomi-san!" Tadase called after Ikuto, but it was no use. Tadase hit his palm against his forehead.
"What am I going to do!? Hoshina-san was very clear! Tsukiyomi-san has to get a girlfriend before the summer's up." Then Tadase actually paused to think for once in his life, "Then again... that sounds a bit odd... what is Hoshina-san's ulterior motive this time?" As Tadase wondered that the strings of Fate were already being tied, and he was right in the middle of it.
