So a bit of explaining is needed, I wanted to write a fic about a girl named Millennium (which is who I named the heroine) but she doesn't have Amnesia or anything like that. She's just a normal girl who happens to meet the main characters, I'll try to stick as original as possible but as for the main character, she is whoever I wish her to be since that's how I feel the game was trying to push you towards. I'm sorry if this doesn't sit well with anyone and I hope that you enjoy this regardless.

I will upload chapters as I think them up, as of right now I do not have her leaning towards anyone since I haven't made up my mind with who she should be with.

Silas and Rose are my own original characters.

Sawa and Mine might show up depending on what I want to do.

Disclaimer: I do not own Amnesia at all.

"Come on into the back area, we can't have you standing around! I'll have Ikki look for the right size in the back for you." The manager ushered me in rather quickly, probably because it was morning and they were in the middle of preparing to open. It is a cafe after all, they probably have all sorts of things to prepare. "Today I'll have you get into uniform and follow one of our girls around, her name is Rose, she's a little shy but she get's the job done. Our customers like her cute side, I think the two of you will get along very well."

"I hope so." I wasn't exactly shy, nor was I quiet but I was cute..or so I've been told several times. To be honest I had applied at several places and this is the place that had called me back, but nevertheless I need the money and this cafe seemed really respectable.

"We have implemented a buddy system here at Meido No Hitsuji, I'll be assigning a buddy to you each day depending on who is working. We find that if we pair our maids with our butlers then customer's tend to behave themselves more. Remember that even though you're all dolled up and pretending to serve your masters, we have a no touch policy and if any of them breaks that policy then you're to inform your buddy and then inform me. We don't tolerate touch here."

"Touching leads to expectations and we are not that kind of business! I have filled this staff with beautiful people and I tend to keep them safe! So do not hesitate to inform me of any misconduct! I won't allow it in my cafe!"

That was another reason why I wasn't hesitant about taking this job here. Granted, it might be a little embarrassing at first to serve people and call them my master, but that's all I have to do. I just put on a slight show, make some food, and smile...a lot.

"Ikki! She should fit in a medium...although the sleeves might be a little long now that I think about it...you're so tall and yet so slim...this is a pain."

I find myself lowering my eyes at that, it clearly wasn't my fault I was born this way.

"Oh? Is she here already? I'm not even done with preparation...my isn't she cute? Almost as cute as Rose." From the kitchen window a head appears, one adorned with silky violet hair. It was a weird color in my opinion but it looked very soft to touch, it was accompanied by the same colored eyes.

I found myself staring into these eyes for a just a moment, wondering if he was wearing contacts and if he was if there was some way that I could possible tell.

"Staring into my eyes are you? I must say it's quite the curse wouldn't you agree?"

He reaches a hand out to tentatively touch my cheek but stops just before the contact since I decide to blurt out "Are they fake?!"

"F-F-Fake?" He seems taken aback.

"Maybe your eyes don't work on everyone Ikki. It's stupid to think that they would." A man carrying a tray of biscuits in one hand smirks at Ikki as if he's amused by what had just occurred. He also had odd colored hair, like red wine, it got brighter as you went down turning into almost a fire red. It looks very good on him although his face takes on a sort of...irritated expression. "It's rude to stare, do you have a problem?"

"Those smell delicious-"

"We don't have time for this! Shin! Ikki! Get back to work now! Where is Rose?"

"Right here sir-"

"Holy crap!" I jump back. I hadn't even noticed her walk up to us. It was scary how she could just appear like this.

They were certainly right when they said that she was cute. She looked almost like a child, fairly shorter than me, with petal like lips and sapphire eyes. Her hair is a dark plum color that is cut into a bob cut. It's sharp and yet looks good on her cute figure, following the curves of her jaw line. Her figure matches her height, cute and petite, the uniform looked like it was made just for her type.

This must be Rose.

"Rose, this is Millennium. She'll be starting today and following you around to observe. Let her do some smaller things like picking up dishes and bidding the customer's farewell. I don't want her taking actual orders, your buddy for this morning will be Shin who will switch off with Silas at the end of his shift."

"Understood."

"Everyone into the back for the morning battle cry!"

Battle cry?

We line up in a neat little row of four, with our leader pacing in front of us looking extremely serious.

"Now remember my comrades that even though we value our customers, they are the enemy! Never forget that! Now repeat after me: The customer is the enemy!"

"THE CUSTOMER IS THE ENEMY!"

They all stare at me, the only one who didn't shout the cry. Ikki is already chuckling to himself as if this is some hilarious event, I guess if everyone else does something and you don't then you are considered the odd one out.

Waka stares me down as if this is the absolute worst thing I have ever done, which it might be, considering how I've only been here for about ten minutes.

"Millennium? I'm sorry I don't think you understood what we're doing. We do this daily to pump ourselves up! Now if you don't feel like participating then I don't believe you're cut out for the job! Now! Again everyone! The customer is the enemy!"

"THE CUSTOMER IS THE ENEMY!"

This time they all eyed me because I shouted it too loud.

Great.

"Very good Millennium, I like the enthusiasm. Now, Ikki get her a uniform and if you need help putting it on then talk to Rose. DISMISSED!"

"Awww, I wanted to be the one to help her put it on."

Did he really just say that to me? Do normal people just say these things to people?

"Hurry up, we still have kitchen work to do and we open in thirty minutes. No screwing around just because she's cute."

I feel like I'm not even here.

"Right this way princess, before Shin has a fit with me!" Ikki prodes me along towards the changing room. I'm not entirely sure if I want to be caught alone with this man. It's too late though, the door closes behind us. "I'm sure you'll look adorable in this, maybe you'll even draw in some customers for us."

"I doubt that." I look away from him, he's shuffling through a bin of uniforms.

"You don't see your own charm? Now that's a shame, you're very cute."

"Can you stop with that?" I can't help myself, my cheeks are turning red. Ikki is quite attractive and to have him openly compliment me like this was getting to me more than I'd like to admit. It wasn't fair.

"Am I embarrassing you?"

"..."

Like hell was I going to tell him.

"I hope to see you soon, master." I bow for the umptenth time today. Rose was easy to follow around, although sometimes I did lose her. True to her cute nature she was extremely shy with her customers. They were patient with her though and she often got compliments which would only make her blush and tremble a bit.

I honestly couldn't tell if this was a legitimate act or if she was truly like this, it didn't matter though since the customers literally loved her for it. We had people getting up to help her carry small trays, even though she could clearly handle it herself.

The buddy system worked very well, Ikki and Shin handled most of the kitchen things while Waka and Rose manned the upfront. If there was ever too much to carry than Shin would help her out, he always watched her like a hawk. If it even looked like a man was coming onto Rose then Shin would magically appear as if he had been there the entire time.

Which I believe is a good thing since Rose doesn't seem like the type to defend herself.

We soon found ourselves doing a shift change.

A man dressed in jeans and a white shirt that was covered in paint smears walked in smiling lazily to Waka who immediately started screaming at him to get in the back.

"Yes, yes! I'm sorry!"

"Do you even know what a clean shirt is?!" He screamed.

I was taken aback but honestly who could blame Waka? This was clear laziness on this man's part. I quickly learned that this man is Silas and he attends the same university as me. His focus was art history, while mine is psychology. Our university has an art wing but I've never been in it so I've never seen him before, rumour has it that those art students are all crazy.

Which by looking at Silas...I would believe them.

He looks like he hasn't slept in days,

Not to mention the paint smears literally everyone, he reeks of oils.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry!"

Honestly he was probably only hired here since he's good looking. His unkempt black silky hair was charming in it's own way, his lanky long limbs, and long slim fingers were also quite attractive. I found myself blushing when he made eye contact with me.

Except he wasn't looking at me, he was looking to Rose who had instantly nearly dropped her tray when he walked in.

Do they like each other?

I was pretty sure that work relationships were prohibited here.

"You okay Rose-"

"Shin will get to her, you get in the back! Get. In. The. Back. NOW!" Waka practically shoves him into the back. "You're lucky you're so good with customers or else I'd fire you!"

He's probably very talkative.

I could see him being like that. Charismatic and charming.

I bet Ikki hates him.

"You need to get yourself together Rose…" Shin has once again teleported to Rose's side to help her situate herself.

"He's annoying…" She mutters.

Or at least...I think that's what she says, I can barely hear her when she speaks normally.

"Then tell him that."

"My...he makes me so mad!" Little Rose fires up instantly, for a moment I think she's going to storm into the back and strangle him, I'm not quite sure what is going on with those two...and I'm positive that I don't want to get into it. Instead of doing this, she throws herself into her work with fire in her tiny eyes.

"Go! Go! Rose!" Waka shouts from the back.

Apparently this is a fairly normal occurrence.

I'm sure in time I'll get to know them all, but for now I'll just try and make it through the day.

Waka was right when it came to Silas. He was excellent with customers, so much so that it was almost painful to watch how goopy our female customers got. He would spend time chatting to them about his paintings, which are apparently famous, if I was a person who knew art then I would know this.

But I'm not so I don't.

Him and Rose fight...in this own little way. They go at it with customers! It's like a battle royale to see who can serve the most customers, I'm not quite sure what is going on here but everyone else seems to like it.

Especially Waka since it seems like they're battling it out on the floor.

I keep my distance from the two and instead head into the kitchen to grab some food for myself.

"Have you decided what you'll have, madam?"

Oh great.

Ikki offers a very professional bow that would without a doubt charm most ladies, the thing is though he keeps looking into my eyes as if he's trying to prove some sort of point.

"I don't need you to serve me."

"Don't be like that, madam. You've been working so hard on your first day, please allow me to serve you and make you something delicious. Just tell me what you'd like and I'll make it special just for you-"

I silence him with a narrow of my eyes. I don't like this, I feel like he's just toying with me and I don't enjoy it. My hormones might enjoy it but I certainly don't like it. He get's a lot of requests out on the floor, so he's popular with the ladies.

"Ikkyu stop teasing the girl, she clearly has no interest in you so you might as well give up."

"Ah Kent...I forgot that you work today. Now why would you go and say a thing like that?"

"Because she isn't affected by your eyes, you're nothing without your eyes."

Speaking of eyes, the two lock eyes immediately. I can practically see lightning zapping between the two and yet I get the feeling that they're friends. With arms crossed, Kent stares down the handsome man with fierce competitive eyes.

"Holy crap you're huge!" I break the silence.

Before I hadn't even cared to take a look at the newcomer, but now that he's just standing in front of me like this, I can barely see Ikki at all. His arms are crossed and his entire stature practically screams 'don't talk to me at all, don't even approach me'. I should have just listened to these warnings.

"Statistically yes, I'm much taller than the average human being but there's no reason to outburst about it. Do you normally get surprised by little things like this? If so then you need to exercise your brain more-"

"I get it," I glare at him. "Don't talk to you, my mistake. Now if you'll kindly excuse me I'm going to go and grab something to eat while I still have time. If you'd like you can follow me and lecture me about all of the other bad choices I'm making in life."

Okay, so I hadn't meant to be so mean about it, but he was being extremely rude for someone I had just met. I had forgot to filter my thoughts out and thus I exploded on the tall...scary man and left just like that. Ikki however, thought that my little explosion was hilarious and started laughing immediately. I could hear him all the way in the kitchen which was ridiculous.

"No one stands up to me." Kent did decide to follow me, which was most unfortunate for me, my cheeks were already burning with the rage I had released earlier. You can't just be rude to someone and not feel anything.

"I figured that no matter what I said you'd just come charging in with some other argument. I don't even know you, do you live to argue with people?"

"Arguing produces thoughts and thinking produces results. If we never thought about anything then we'd never get anywhere. Since the dawn of man we have argued with one another to invent new things-"

"I get it I get it, you're going to argue with me no matter what I do or say!"

I just want to make something to eat.

"Incorrect-"

"Actually it's correct because by saying incorrect then you are in fact arguing with me once again-"

"You're the one continuing the argument-"

"You followed me here-"

"You said that I could-"

"KENT! MILLENNIUM! BOTH OF YOU SILENCE!"

Waka easily silences us both but we continue to glare at one another with all of our might. We both stay like this until finally I find what I'm looking for and practically slam the pan onto the stove. I don't usually have an anger problem.

That's a lie, I just usually keep it in check.

I make my omelet in silent rage, throwing in whatever I might find delicious. Hashbrowns, ham, bacon, various vegetables, and topping it off with some yummy spices I had found laying around in the cupboards.

When I laid it on the plate and cut it open it started to ooze cheese and ingredients.

"At least you eat properly." Kent leaves me with this and heads out to go and hopefully jump off the nearest cliff.

"What would you like me to write on your omelet?" Ikki has a bottle of ketchup. It's a common thing in cafes to have your server write little things on your omelets. Normally cute little messages.

"Barritus!"

"Really? I was hoping that you'd pick something cute...like 'Date me' or 'I love you'."

"You realize I've known you for less than 10 hours right?" I gobble down my war cry omelet with happiness in my eyes. It was super good.

Perhaps I should stay in the back and cook instead of dealing with dopey eyed customers!

"Yes, it concerns me. It usually doesn't take this long." From his pocket he produces a spoon which he scoops a bit of my omelet up to take a bite.

This man is dangerous, he flirts with me and eats my food...both without permission.

I make a mental note to avoid Ikki.

"MMmm...very good. The princess can cook as well-"

"A woman who cannot cook will forever live off from rice balls and convenience meals!" I shout.

This war cry thing is kind of fun.

Apparently Ikki thinks I'm the funniest thing in this cafe since he once again starts to laugh. "Didn't you think that you could rely on your boyfriend to cook for you? I'm quite good at cooking myself-"

"Don't you have some customers to flirt with?" I look out the kitchen window. It was about time for dinner to start, which is probably why Kent is here. He might even be taking over for Ikki.

"It really doesn't work on you does it?"

"What? If you're referring to your constant flirting then no...because you seem to flirt with everyone which makes me feel like I'm not special at all." Which is the truth. There is no reason for me to be special anyways, we had literally just met. The fact that he's flirting with me at all is just odd to me.

"Ah well, I'll leave you to your omelet. I hope to see you again soon though,princess."

I hope we don't!

"Ukyo!" I greet him happily when I see him, it's almost time to close but he had promised to stop by the entire day and here he was. He seems tired, which isn't uncommon for him, he was almost always at the university developing his film and working on his semester project. "Oops...I mean welcome home, master."

"If you wouldn't mind holding that pose...I'd like to get a picture." I don't understand why he even bothers to say anything since his camera goes off immediately. He goes to my university and is part of the art wing, now that I think about it, he probably knows Silas. They should be in the same wing. "Thank you."

"What would you like?" I don't bother Rose since I know Ukyo personally, to be honest I should be putting on my act for him but I feel...kind of embarrassed to do so. I've known Ukyo for as long as I can remember and I find it hard to call him 'master' and offer to serve him like that. Besides he would probably just laugh at me. "We have all sorts of coffee, I know you like that sort of thing but...you should watch yourself since you should actually sleep at some point."

"I actually just stopped in to see you and grab a drink-"

"Don't tell me you're going back to the university!"

"I should start developing-"

"You're always developing!" I object.

He never sleeps, I hear that you can die from lack of sleep and if it's possible to do so then he's lucky he hasn't died yet. He needs to take better care of himself.

"You should come over when you're done, I'll stay up late tonight and we can make stir fry or something...in fact when I'm done here I'll go and shop for some ingredients!"

"You don't have to do that-"

"Too bad," I jot down one of our specialty coffees. "I'm going to buy enough for two so if you don't show up then I'll have made way too much. It'll be wasteful."

He doesn't question the fact that I could clearly just put the rest in the fridge, honestly he's never been one to argue with me.

I head to the kitchen where Silas is whipping up one of his own specialty coffees. "Is that your boyfriend?"

"No," I blush at the thought. Ukyo and I have been childhood friends forever, there's no way that I could possibly date him. "We're just very good friends."

"Ehhh? I don't think a girl should invite a guy over to her house late at night like that, I wouldn't call that just friends! Oh hey...that's Ukyo! That guy takes some crazy cool shots...I've always liked his work."

So they do know each other.

I've never been guarded against men, I've had my fair share of boyfriends but I also know when to and when not to trust someone. I feel like Ukyo is someone who I can trust.

I head back to his table with confidence.

"Thank you very much!" I bow and then head to cleanup. Today had been a very long day of training and learning the ropes. The last customer had just walked in, he was tall and has spiky blond hair. Almost like Kent's except that this man's was more styled. While Kent's appeal is his serious intelligent look, this man's is clearly his laid back stylish look. He even situates himself like that. "I'm sorry but we're closing soon, master."

"You must be new. I'm Toma and I just came to check the schedule since I've been at home writing up exam papers all day. Oh man it was a long day." As if to prove his point he stretches his arms high in the air. "It's nice to meet you."

He offers his hand to shake, which I take.

Finally someone normal who works here.

Without another word he heads into the back to check the schedule. I follow Rose and Waka's instructions on how cleanup works. The boys handle the kitchen, prepping things for tomorrow morning's crew to do.

It doesn't take us long to cleanup the cafe since there's an extra person on tonight. Waka seems pretty pleased with our progress and nods with approval.

"Remember my comrades that the customer is the enemy!"

Our cries ring out in perfect synergy.

"Would you like me to walk you home?" Toma offers me when I'm shrugging on my coat. "I took a peek at the address book and it turns out we live quite near one another. We should walk home together since it's dark out, it's in the same direction anyways."

That's a little strange.

"I don't really like walking home alone anyways. Thank you." It was a good opportunity to get to know my co-worker and to be honest I would much rather walk home with Toma than say Kent, or even Silas. I couldn't quite put my finger on Silas's deal.

Let it be known that him and Rose did not walk home together, instead Rose walked out with Kent and Waka.

"So did you like your first day? It was long wasn't it? Normally Waka cuts the day into two parts for you...but you must have exceeded his expectations on the interview."

"I like the whole war cry thing." I admit. At first I had thought it was silly, no normal human being does these things after all.

"He says it gets us all pumped up but honestly it just releases stress!" Toma laughs it off.

"I don't know what I think of our staff...they're all a little odd in their own way."

"Did you meet Shin?"

"Yes...he was rude."

Toma starts to laugh, I take it as agreement between us. "Yes of course, he's always been like. I've known him since we were very young, honestly he lives near us. The three of us should go out sometime."

"Maybe…" Honestly I didn't really want to go out with anyone. I didn't know any of them and yet they all act extremely friendly and extremely close to me as if we had known each other for years.

Except Kent, screw that guy.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to try and force you to go. I was only offering since Shin doesn't really get along with a lot of people, I think it'd be good for him to gain a new friend."

"Maybe if he wasn't such a jerk."

"He has his reasons."

Toma's happy go lucky attitude soon turns serious. I nod to him to show him that I was in fact listening, it turns out that Shin is a lot more complicated than a guy who is just being a jerk because he can.

"Don't even get me started on Ikki."

"Oh? Did you confess your undying love to that guy?"

What in the heck is with these guys? "No, absolutely not, although now that you mention it he keeps acting like I'm going to or something. It's like he expects me to throw myself at him."

"So you really don't know? Ikki says he has a curse, his eyes charm any lady who looks directly into them and they usually start saying that they're in love with him and want him to go out with them. He's a player but he seems kind of sad about it...try not to judge him too hard but if I'm honest with you...I kind of hate him myself."

"Oh yeah?" I didn't expect the word 'hate' to come out of Toma's mouth. He doesn't seem like the guy who could possibly hate anyone.

"Yeah, when you love someone you should devote every part of your being towards them and yet, Ikki just fools around with a girl for three months and then just dumps them and moves on. I don't like it, that kind of living is just sad and what if he actually likes the girl? It's like he's toying with their feelings."

Hearing all of this...it really gets my blood boiling. That kind of man is the worst. Maybe though, he's never truly found someone he's loved...maybe that's just it. Relying on some stupid eye trick that doesn't even work is ridiculous! He makes me mad!

"I see...but I guess I'll get to know him as time goes on." I can't just judge him based on what someone else said. It's true that Ikki is very straightforward and very flirty but he hasn't actually done anything wrong.

Except steal my food.

Nevermind, I take back what I thought, he's definitely a fiend.

"And Kent...don't mind Kent. He's just socially awkward but he's very smart! He's just not very good with...well anyone. A lot of people shy away from him since he's so brutally honest. He doesn't know how to act around people."

"He's a jerk! I hate him!" I absolutely hate him! All he does is argue with me then argue about arguing with me the jerk!

"I figured you might say that!"

Before we know it, I'm home. I thank Toma for taking me home, to which he replies that it's no problem. When I open my door and turn on the light I feel...lonely. It's strange, I've lived alone for most of my life and yet this is the first time I've ever truly felt lonely.

It's probably because of all of the new people I met today...I could even make more friends there.

I find myself looking forward to my next shift, that place was crazy, and yet it was strangely satisfying.

I hope you all liked it, it was pretty long. I don't usually like long chapters, I really like to write shorter fics. I have put in a request for fanfiction to upload a Code Realize: Guardian of Rebirth file but they haven't. If you haven't played that yet, I highly suggest that you do. I bought Amnesia on sale for my vita and I very much enjoyed it. Please read and review!
