"Maka!" a woman somewhere in her mid-30's with gold like hair and caramel eyes came running towards the bar area where an ash-blonde teen sat reading.
The woman was in a black dress shirt along with a black vest to match. She also wore a long black skirt with yellow zig zags on the side. She also had a black eye patch on her right eye with a yellow insignia upon it.
"Yes Marie?" quirked Maka closing her book, she was sitting on the bar's counter in a loose white sweater that reveal her shoulders along with ripped jean shorts. Her blonde hair was put a messy ponytail as he emerald green eyes gleamed in the sun light.
"I need to you to work the bar shift for me please." she begged on her knees with her hands closed together
"Marie..."
"Please I can't trust Hiro-kun with it either!" Marie pleaded making Maka put her hands up in defense "You're the only one who can work the bar perfectly. Also your the best out of all my workers!"
"Maka be a dear and do it please." called a familiar voice making the 2 snap their heads around
"Stein!" beamed Marie latching onto her husband
"Yes, yes. You're crushing my bones." sighed Stein with a small smile hugging his wife back "I want you to work this shift. Also we're having a special guest coming, he's an old friend of your brother."
"A friend of Blackstar's?" cocked Maka "Who is he?"
"Some new rising star but if tonight's successfully our club will have more customers then usual. Also meaning meaning more money for the club." he pointed out "So what do you say?"
Maka sighed before shrugging "Well-"
"I'll pay you double."
"Deal."
Time skip~
Maka fixed the tie on her uniform before checking herself in the mirror. Why is it when she works the bar shift, she wear a completely different uniform then everyone else?
The uniform consisted of a white long sleeved dress shirt with a black vest along with a black tie or ribbon with a skull in the center of it. All the workers had to wear the same thing, except the female workers wore short black pencil skirts while the guys wore black dress pants.
As for Maka she had to wear a white collared long sleeved shirt with a green and white tie along with black vest that had giant grey buttons on it. She had to wear a black suspenders that were connected to her black pencil skirt. Maka put on her white gloves before she heard a couple of her co-workers squealing about the special guest.
"I heard it's the new rising star Soul Eater!" one cheered
"Soul Eater?"
"Oh my shinigami he's so hot!" commented another making Maka roll her eyes
"I guess I have my target." cooed one before the manager came and told them time for work
I wonder who's Soul Eater...
It wasn't long until the club was in full swing, everyone were either serving or performing. Maka on other hand was doing both, she was performing tricks throwing bottles in the air catching them skillfully as she poured each bottle into a glass. People were amazed at how skillful she was at such a young age.
"Hey you see that bartender right there?" asked a man pointing towards Maka
"Yeah, she sure is a beauty." awed another
Maka served about 60 drinks already in 20 minutes without breaking a sweat. She was single handedly serving customers drinks at the bar.
"Black Russian on the rocks, hard!" ordered a customer
"Coming right up!" smirked Maka pouring a vodka and coffee liqueur together in a mixer container before shaking it vividly to the music that was playing causing a lot customers to wolf whistle. She poured it skillfully into a small glass.
"There you go!" she shouted sending the drink towards the customer who drank it immediately in one gulp
"Best in town!" cheered the man causing everyone nearby to cheer
A man in a black pinstriped suit with snow white hair and scarlet red eyes sat on the bar stool, he watched as Maka threw 2 bottles in the air making everyone gasp before she caught both bottles with her arms crossed above her chest. She poured each one in several tall glasses before she maneuvered each one down the bar's counter.
Maka saw the man before she appeared before him ready to serve.
"Hi my name is Maka, I'll be your bartender for tonight." she smiled "What can I get you?"
"What do you have?" questioned the man
"Anything you'd like."
"Are you saying that because you know who I am?" Maka looked at the man with a blank look before tilting her head to the side confused
"Nope am I suppose to?" she said bluntly making the man stare at her wide eyed before he broke out in a laughing fit
"Oh I have never met a girl like you." he laughed wiping a tear away from his eye "My name's Soul nice to meet you Ms. Bartender."
"Pleasure, so what would you like?"
"Surprise me, I'm sure you won't fail." Maka gave Soul a small smile before she grabbed 2 bottles, popping the caps off in one swipe.
She skillfully poured each bottle into the silver mixer container, quickly covering before throwing it up in the air. As the container flew in the air she grabbed a cocktail glass from the ice cooler behind her.
In a matter of seconds Maka caught the mixer container taking off the cap off pouring a redish black liquid inside the cocktail glass. Maka topped off the drink with 2 black cherries, she placed the drink in front Soul who had a small smirk on his face.
"What's this ?" asked Soul eyeing his drink
"It's called 'Black Blood' courtesy of Death City's Liquor Store Blues." answered Maka wiping her forehead "It's a drink I've made up in my spare time."
"So what made you pick this for me?"
Maka thought for a moment about his questioned before answering "Cocktails you know are called the classics among us bartenders, made in the 1700's making them the classics of drinks. They can be turned sweet or sour just by a few shots of tequila. They're popular for being tropical drinks, holiday drinks, anything you want."
"So?"
"I've based the drink on the vibe you're giving me. What you gave me was a classic feel, so I chose a cocktail." Maka said making the albino smirk as she continued
"Judging by your looks you have a taste for the classics like jazz and hard rock. You give me an old school feeling that most people don't have these days. You can change anytime you want to, but you like to keep old fashion. You're original and to be honest I say the best word to describe you is...cool."
Soul was stunned at first before he got up and leaned into Maka's ear breathing on her neck, sending chills through her body.
"Is that all I give you?"
"Thanks Maka." he whispered walking away with the cocktail leaving Maka dumbfounded
"Stupid flirt..." Maka blushed before hearing a familiar male voice
"Maka!"
The young ash-blonde spun around only to be tackled from by a small boy with spiky black hair in a messy black suit. She looked up to see Blackstar and his wife Tsubaki smiling.
"Auntie Maka!" smiled the little boy latching onto Maka
"Hi Drey," smiled Maka picking the boy pecking him on the cheek "How was Japan?"
"Papa taught me new moves and I got to learn how to use weapons." beamed Drey punching the air "Oh oh an I got to test it out on this robber too."
"I see your Papa is turning you into a war machine." she smiled ruffling his hair making him laugh
"You know Blackstar..." sighed Tsubaki before hugging the ash-blonde
"Oi sis." called Blackstar holding his arms out for a hug
"Hey bro." she smiled walking towards him before hugging Tsubaki leaving him hanging
"So not funny sis!" huffed Blackstar before Maka stuck her tongue at him playfully before hugging him
"I'm just kidding Blacksta-"
Slam!
Blackstar fell backwards due to Drey's kick, he got up with foot print on his left side of his cheek with a vein popping out his forehead.
"Don't touch Auntie Maka, she's mine!" declared Drey in a fighting stance
"Oh so you're cocky enough to go against you're old man." snapped Blackstar cracking his knuckles ready to kill
SLAM!
Maka was holding a book as Blackstar laid on the ground twitching due to Maka's chop. She sighed shaking her head side to side patting the book on her hand. "Aren't you too old to be picking fights with little kids, specially your kid?" shot Maka receiving a mumble from the blue haired idiot
She lifted up Drey who tired to runaway before she flicked him on the forehead making him flinch in pain.
"And you don't go picking fight with your papa." Maka ordered making Drey nod furiously "So where's your friend Blackstar?"
"I dunno he said he came early." Blackstar said scratching behind his head "Hey sis can we talk to ya? You have a place where we can talk?"
Maka cocked a brow in questioned "I do, follow me to the V.I.P section. Stein I'm going on break!"
The silvered haired owner lifted his hand up giving a nod. Maka led them towards the private V.I.P section, they left Drey with Stein who could keep him in check. Blackstar and Tsubaki sat across the table from Maka before she asked "So what did you guys need to talk about?"
"Maka..." Blackstar started looking towards Tsubaki and back "Would you mind taking custody of Drey?"
Maka was shocked before she could say anything Blackstar cut her off by putting his hand up. He looked down gripping his fists.
"Sis I know this a big favor but hear me out." he pleaded making her silent "We love him and you know for damn sure I wouldn't ask you this unless it was important. You see when we went to Tsubaki's family something...happened."
"Maka you're my best friend and also the person we trust the most." said Tsubaki with a small smile "You see my brother is suppose to be the heir to my family but when Drey was born he became a threat to that..."
There was a moment silence before Tsubaki had tears well up in her eyes as she continued
"My brother you see has sent people to kill my son. The robber he was talking about that was o-one of them. I-I don't w-want my son t-to..." Tsubaki broke down into tears with Blackstar holding her, 'shh, shh' he comforted
"I understand." Maka spoke making Blackstar and Tsubaki look up "I know Drey is your guy's precious treasure. No matter what I will make sure he won't be harmed or hurt. Giving your son took a lot of thought and suffering I see but doing this to protect your son..."
"You two sure have become fine pair parents. Tsubaki and Blackstar, I'm proud of you." she smiled warmly causing tears to fall down Blackstar's eyes
"Sheesh aren't I'm suppose to be the oldest." he said wiping the tears from his eyes
