Introduction:
Tenten
Again, it's another boring day at Limit. I mean honestly, this place has got to be the most boring place ever. Nothing ever happens or changes here. It's just a plain stupid restaurant. Not to mention the uniforms are absolutely horrific. It's like this white dress that has poofy sleeves, it even has a stupid red ribbon at the end of the sleeve. To top it all off the dress is rather low-cut. Oh, and it has a pink apron-like thing on the outside. Did I mention that the dress was short as hell? Really, does the manager think that this is a strip club of some sort? Well newsflash buddy! It's just a dumbass restaurant. Hey well at least I've got a friend here, her name is Marissa. I call her Missy though, and she's just like a sister to me.
Ringgg Ringgg Ringgggg
"Hello and welcome to the Limit. How may I help you? Looking for a table or here for a reservation?" I asked the customer politely as he walked through the double doors.
"Yes actually you can help me; I'm looking for Marissa. Is she here?" I lifted my eyes from the desk in front of me to the guy. Boy, was he a hottie. He had chocolate brown hair that was long and tied into a pony tail at the very end. He had white eyes that had a tint of lavender, and his body was pretty well-built. "Her break is coming up soon, I'll tell her you're here. Would you like something to drink?"
"No, but make it snappy."
What a grouch. I gave him a nice fake forced smile before walking towards the kitchen where Marissa was. "Hey, you've got a visitor… a hot grouchy guy, that is."
"A visitor? Hm, wonder who it could be. Take over for me?" She left before I could answer her. I rolled my chocolate brown eyes and re-tied the ribbons that held my brown hair into two buns before walking over towards the kitchen counter and grabbing the food that was there. I read the note that said 'Table 4', and headed straight to said table and handed them their food. "I hope you enjoy your food." The couple nodded and smiled at me.
Half an hour later and Marissa still wasn't back. I was sure she was ok. Maybe it was just a long talk.
Three more hours went by, and it was closing time: 9:00. She still hadn't come back. I honestly didn't think too much about it, seeing as it was Marissa. She probably went home early and left me to do the work… or she went to go fuck that guy. Lucky her. I waved at the manager before I walked out the glass sliding double doors. I started walking home. I wasn't rich enough to afford a car since my parents died a while back, when I was 5. I lived with my uncle and aunt until I was 15. They died too, so I didn't have enough money to go to college. All I got left with was a house, and some money. I've always loved my house so I sold my uncle and aunt's house instead.
I hummed to the song 'Still Doll' by Kanon Wakeshima while unlocking the front door. I opened the living room lights and the kitchen light before I headed up the stairs towards my room and into the shower. The house has two bedrooms, a master and a regular. The kitchen is pretty big and there are two sets of stairs. One was right when you walked in through the front door, while the other was right by the kitchen. Outside was the backyard, and it was huge. It also had a pool that's shaped like a deformed heart. I loved it.
I walked into my room: it was just a plain master bedroom with a queen sized bed. It was my parents', but I couldn't sell it so I kept it. I walked over to the dresser and grabbed my PJs and headed towards the bathroom. I thought a heard a rustle, but I ignored it. Bad mistake of mine. After enjoying a nice, hot, 15 minute shower, I stepped out and put on black basketball shorts and a blue tank-top. I used the towel to dry my hair, and I put it up into two buns with ribbons. I used two needles to keep the ribbons in place. That, and I had some sort of obsession with sharp objects. It runs in the family, I mean my aunt had an obsession with knives. I started to walk down the stairs to get something to eat.
I headed into the kitchen. The lights were still on, and I walked towards the counter. When I lifted my eyes to the fridge, there was someone there. He had on a grey sweatshirt and black pants. He had a hood on, so I couldn't see most of his features. There was one thing that I did notice though: he had weird red markings on his face. Next to him was a dog. I panicked. You would have too if there was a mysterious guy in your kitchen with a hood on!
"Tenten right?" he asked, his voice was rough.
"I didn't do it!" I cried while my eyes were filled with worry.
"I'm going to give you the short version. You owe us some money."
"What money?"
"Money from your friend Marissa."
"Ohhh, so this is a joke? Funny Marissa, you can come out now. It wasn't very nice when you left me alone at the restaurant. I had to do your work too, and now I'm super tired!" I said while opening my knife drawer, just in case. He didn't take notice of it, thank god.
"I think we have a misunderstanding. You're friend Marissa owes us money."
"Okay, but I don't get why you're in my house and not hers. And who is exactly is this 'us'?"
"She said you had her money and you were going to pay it off," he said totally ignoring my other question.
"What? Are you crazy? She wouldn't do something like to me so stop joking!"
"Oh, but I'm not joking. You, Tenten, owe us a million yen."
"A million yen!?" I cried out as I threw my hands up. Thinking fast, I grabbed the needle that held the ribbons in my hair and flung it at him. I reached into the knife drawer, grabbed my kitchen knife, and attacked him. I tried stabbing him but he dodged it and punched me in the stomach. I grabbed it in pain, but held onto the knife.
"Che. That'll teach you."
I tackled him and stabbed him the arm. I got up, still holding my stomach and gave him a small smirk.
"Bad mistake." I slowly turned around to find the mysterious voice. I saw the guy at the Limit earlier today. Without even thinking about it, I already knew he could probably knock me out. "Oh shit."
He grabbed my arm and twisted it so I would drop the knife, which I did. However, I had taken karate and Tae Kwon Do when I was younger so I did know some self-defense. He threw a punch at my head and I quickly ducked while trying to punch him in the stomach, but he read my movements and moved away just in time.
I bit my lip while backing up. There was no way I was going to win so I might as well just give up. He threw another punch at me and I just backed up more, hitting the wall behind me. He had this cocky-ass smirk on his face and then he succeeded in punching me. Knocking me out for a while as well. Great, just great. What the hell did you get me into this time Missy?
