Chapter one: I spy
The wetness of her feet gave back her senses on what was going on around her. Or down below. The mop she was gripping onto was right next to her, and the water squirmed out soaking her feet. She had been standing there dozing off. The unforgettable feelings and memories crawled up from her stomach to her head again. Her breathing was going slowly.
The reason her feet were soaked was because of her occupation-- not exactly your ideal dream in life.
Akina's POV or what you wouldcall "facts" about her life.
If you're still wondering, I'm a janitor. I started today, the job was easy to get. Just ask and your in. Its nothing big. I desperatley needed another one. I was fired in my last one as a busboy. I had been accused of stealing food and some eating utensils; BUT I NEVER STOLE THEM! Turns out someone, really wanted me to get fired. I don't even know who.
I suffer to support myself and my mother. We're lucky to get welfare, but that isn't enough. There's rent, food, clothes, other essentials, and my saving up to go to college. I'm not sure if I'll snag a scholarship. Anyway, my mom previously developed cancer, or to be more specific, leukemia. Damn, I hate these diseases. Does absolutley nothin' good for you, so why was it ever invented?
Its just me and my mom, because when I was 5, my dad pushed my mom out the window. Not your average fight, huh? And they both took drugs. I would run and hide in any closet nearby, terrified. Their fights would sometimes be very physical and brutal. So one day, my dad pushed my mom out the window from our 7-floored apartment. When about to fall, she grabbed onto my father, causing both of them to fall down below. I know all of this because, I was hiding in the closet in the room they were in, and I could see the whole thing through a small hole on the door. As soon as I heard their screams of about-to-die, I kicked the door open, scrabbled up on a chair, and stuck my head out the window. You would not believe the view I saw. My father looked like a splattered watermelon. I looked to see where my mom ended up, and she was the lucky one. She had actually survived by landing on a car, while my father went splat, on the cement.
Through eyes and ears of a 5-year-old, I understood everything. I shrieked a loud sob. I wanted to call out to them. Soon enough, my neighbor came pounding on the door calling my name.
Thats what happened in the past, and how I ended up here. Now I'm working my butt off in blood, sweat, and tears. My mom went to a drug rehab, and has been sober for all these years. Works at home, selling magazine subscriptions through the telephone.
My shoes are soaked. When I walk, and they go 'plop, plop,' and squeak against the floor. I work at Kaiba Corporation. It's a very large place, and known for a multi-millionnare company. They needed a janitor anyway. Maybe I should write a autobiography about my life...
End of POV
Akina finished mopping the floor of the lobby and took out a rippled paper from her pocket. They gave her the list the old janitor used, to do all that was needed to be done.
Clean the windows.
'Clean the windows? Thats gonna be super scary.' Especially because she's afraid of heights. And that the building wasseven stories high. But she had no choice, and it was her job. She didn't know anyone who ever fell down from those. Peek into the windows to see what they're doing in there. That would be fun.
Akina put the mop back in the bucket and wheeled it towards the elevator. When she was inside, she pressed the numberseven button, and waited till she was at that stop.
'Damn, did the janitor's closet have to be all the way on the top floor?'
When the elevator door opened, she walked out with her mop and opened up the closet, kicked the mop inside, and searched for her window squeegee. 'Aw, crap, I found it. Now I gotta go clean.'
After, she was now on the roof. The sun showered over her, almost blinding her. She put on her cap to the front, and stepped onto the contraption. Akina steadly pulled the rope, on what she was standing on, that would go down. She was actually doing this in complete confidence. But that only showed outside. Her heart began racing.
"Okay, don't look down. Whatever you do, don't look down!"
She lowered herself more until she was at the point of the windows. She slowly slided her feet to the right, to pick up her window wiper. She took the bucket it was in, and slided back to the middle. It was disgusting. Bird crap was all over the window. Swishy white, yellow, brown spots?
"...EWW..."Akina glided her weapon against the poo. She was also holding onto the railing at the same time.
'These pigeons will keep me in business for a pretty, long time.' She switched her cap back to the back. She had the whole janitor's uniform down. Denim blue overalls, over a white T-shirt. Keeping it simple and clean.
She could hear the traffic down below her. Engines roaring, horns honking, music coming out of people's cars. This is the life. Everybody's life mostly.
A piece wouldn't come off. Akina kept scraping over it go away. She used the edge of the squeegee.
'Ahh, there we go. '
She looked inside. It looked like an office, and no one was in it. A big office, a desk in front of the window. The desk was totally organized, had a computer on it, and a small picture. A little boy with bushy black hair. That was it.
'Probably her son...'
Seto Kaiba marched through the hallway of his office building. It was Saturday morning, and he was expecting an urgent email or fax by one of his fellow coworkers. He held his briefcase in his hand. The headache he encountered last night, had not gone away yet. He constantly hit his head with his fist, for the aching to stop. Stressing out, and work. Yeah, work had been hectic for the last two weeks.
"Damn aspirins didn't work..."
When he reached his office, he took out his key and unlocked the door. The sun was shining through great, so no need to turn on the lights. But something was blocking through some light. Or... was that someone?
Akina found another piece of crap that wouldn't come off. But it was unlikely for her to give up.
'Must've been here for a long time. Thank god I'm the new custodian. The last one didn't do a good job...'
She kept scraping and scraping. Ugh, she wanted to smash the window! And of course by accident, she did. The force she was putting the wiper into, actually created a web of cracks. Some pieces of glass fell, and created a small hole. Her mouth gasped and formed into the shape of an 'o'. Akina began to panick again.
"Oh god, oh god! What am I going to do? What am I going to do! They'll know it was me. And do you know how much this glass costs? Do I even have to pay? Well, if it breaks this easily, then it must be cheap."
She dropped her wiper down into the bucket, and screamed at it, "Stupid thing! Stupid cheap, window!" she cussed.
The person outside was screaming. Kaiba squinted his eyes. That was a woman alright. A young woman. But what was she yelling at? Him? Impossible.
Thats when he saw the broken part of his office window she was shadowing over. His eyes widened. He stormed from the doorway, forward, to face the culprit.
Akina poked at the hole. Now more glass fell off. "Great. I am so stupid..." she muttered to herself. Water was still dripping on the window. It was blurry to see inside, but when she looked closer, she saw what seemed like bare skin. Someone was on the other side. She wiped the water away with her glove. Brown eyes met with blue ones. She was right, a guy was there. A tall guy. With brown, neat hair..., eyes she had never seen so blue... long eyelashes... a gaze just so intense... Such an incredibly handsome guy...
'Who is he?'
Kaiba started yelling. "JUST WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DESTROYING MY PROPERTY!" Great, more stress.
Akina frowned that he only came up to scold at her. She used both of her hands, and pointed to herself. "I'm the new janitor! And I am SO sorry I broke your window! I was just trying to--"
"Great, you're fired!" Seto snapped.
Akina instantly furrowed her eyebrows. "You can't do that! I just got hired today! And you're not the one who hired me anyways, so you can't fire me!" 'For a surpassing cute guy, he seems really mean.'
'She doesn't know who's she's dealing with.' He leaned in closer. "Do you know who you're talking to?" he asked coldly.
"Uh, you?" she replied. 'That was an easy answer.'
Seto crossed his arms. "Seto. Kaiba."
And with that name, she realized. 'Seto Kaiba... Seto Kaiba... Now where did I here that name before? ... Seto Kaiba! Kaiba Corporation, as in his name! Man did I pick the wrong person to mess with today.'
"Uh-oh..." she mutterd to herself again. "Am I really fired? Now wait, I'm the janitor, so I can fix it!" Akina cheered happily.
He hated people's moxie. "Do you have any experience of being a custodian?" he asked.
"No... I've never been one before, but I know how to fix things perfectly. It'll be easy. Your window will be fixed in no time," she asured him.
"I'll see about that," and he walked away to sit on his office chair. Kaiba exhaled deeply after being through this moment of fury. He turned around and logged up his computer. Meanwhile, Akina was still staring back at him. Seto saw her reflection on his computer and jerked right back at her. "GET TO IT!" he yelled.
Akina jumped, frightened, and went to pulled the rope back up. She also was a little irritated that he had to yell at her like that. "God, don't janitors get any respect around here these days. And somebody's a little cranky today..."
She strolled back to the janitor's closet, then went back to the roof to fix her new boss's window.
So how is it? Is it good? Yeah, I wrote another OC fic, but whatever. Don't flame me! I know it might be too early for this when I'm still in the beginning of my first story but I just had to bring this story in. I did not abandon my first one though. I'm trying to do both at the same time. I plan this to be totally different from ETBL. Trust me. Anyways, please review! -xlitoxvirgo92x - Is that any better?
