Chapter 2:

"Get off!"

No matter how much Kanda screamed those two words in his mind, he could not get rid of that slimy disgusting hand holding onto his shoulder. And the idiot would not stop talking!

Throwing manners in the wind, he threw off the other and stomped straight towards the table closest to him.

"I'm staying here. " He announced rudely.

Slightly taken aback his mentor commented calmly: "Ah, I see. We have someone very eagers here…"Tykki observed while sitting down. He put his fingertips together as if in deep thought.

"When the ladies come, and that will be soon, there are only three rules you need to follow.

Kanda raised an eyebrow. He had always thought that this place was a lawless area.

"One, do what the lady wants. Two, no matter how tempting, do not sleep with any of our customers. And finally, do not ever fall in love with anyone in this place!" He emphasized the last statement with a stern look to which Kanda could only roll his eyes.

Something like that could never happen.

The thought alone was ridiculous because to Kanda there wasn't anything else besides Soba, Mugen and from time to time favors he did to earn living costs. He was a simple man, but even simple men needed to live on something.

About half an hour after they had sat down and felt the heat from their previous shot creeping up their body, Kanda leaned back to observe the first few customers walking in. He noticed that everyone else did the same thing, including Lavi who was supposed to be in the office.

But who could deny the redhead such "fun"? The only ones that were missing were the bean sprout and Lenalee. But he had seen them disappearing behind a set of double doors to where he assumed the kitchen would be.

At this moment he heard the sound of ruffling clothes. Looking over, two girls had sat down. To his surprise one of the girls had seated herself between himself and that egomaniac. He would thank her really, if he was the kind of person to say thank you.

He noticed her purple striped knee high socks first. It was unusual to see women these days dressed in anything other than miniskirt and overly revealing tops. That had been his impression anyway. On closer inspection, their customers were anything but usual.

When he looked up into her face, he was ready to call security or kick her out himself if he had to. The girl could not have been older than 15! What kind of establishment was Komui running anyway?

She was looking at him through purple strands of hair and picking at a few ruffles on her white shirt, while eyeing her companion who, to Kanda's relief, appeared to be in her mid-twenties. For a woman, she was exceptionally beautiful with long blonde hair falling to her waist. She was dressed in a business suit which made her seem less of a customer and more of a business partner with an air of elegance. He had to admit that she did have class. But she surely had nothing to find in a place like this?

From across the room he could make out Lavi's cry of not having been chosen. He would later have to listen to his friend's lament about missed opportunities and how to pick up "chicks".

"Wow I come back after a week and all I get is a newbie?" The girl next to him stated in exaggerated boredom. She was playing with the olive on his Martini glass. Deciding that this place was not a playground, certainly not for teenagers, he firmly grabbed her hand causing her to drop the piece of fruit.

"I'm sorry, we don't 'cater' to minors." He stated curtly. That ought to tell her to leave.

"I'm not! I'm 18, you moron!" She shoved a plastic card into his face indignantly. Indeed the year of birth accounted for her age, but Kanda had his suspicions that such ID could easily be forged.

"My dear guest, I am so sorry for my companion. As you have suggested, he is completely new to this establishment. Please cut him some slack. I will reprimand him properly later." His mentor interjected soothingly.

Never in hell would he stay to hear a lecture from that guy.

"You see, Kanda is my mentee for the next week…" Tykki continued explaining to the elegant woman, Kanda finally identified as Lulubell.

If one had looked from afar onto this peculiar table one would have been very astonished, indeed. On one side of the table there was a tan man chatting leisurely with an unresponsive beautiful lady, while on the other side a young girl was incessantly chatting to a stoic wordless young man. Lavi could not stop himself from laughing. So much so that he almost brought the woman who had come in a few minutes ago ti cry because she thought he was laughing at her.

Kanda was just so bad at this, Lavi thought.

Well, Lavi was right, until a certain white-haired waiter carrying a tray of cocktails came in. It seemed like it was Lenalee's turn to run the kitchen. He did love her concoctions.

Allen was a very efficient worker and remembered all orders without having to write them down. He had been working in this establishment for ages after all. It was a major source of income. He made his way to Lavi's table first. There was a really insecure woman sitting with him, but that was normal. Lavi tended to specialize in that type of women. He sighed. In the end it was Allen that had to pry away all of Lavi's customers staking out their apartment.

"Enjoy!" He smiled at the nervous brunette while setting down a mild drink he had made up just for her. She didn't look like the type to drink a lot. While setting down a grasshopper for Lavi, he whispered in his ear: "Take it easy, I don't want to be calling the police on her." Allan gave the smitten redhead a meaningful glare he hoped could rival Lenalee's.

After setting down most of his drinks and giving a reassuring shoulder squeeze to Krory who was beyond anxiety (which really was his selling point), he made it to the last table in the corner. That was the head table. Not long ago, he was the one having to sit at that table, but after what happened last week, he was glad that Tykki took over and he could focus on the more 'prosperous' branch of the business.

Well, he was relieved until he saw who was sitting there. He could tell just by the purple hair that his longtime client Road had re-appeared. A deep sigh escaped his throat and an urge to just turn around and ask Lenalee to handle the customers today arose. But Allen was professional. He needed to be.

He sat down a Cosmopolitan and a small glass of whisky in front of Lulubell with a smile. "Welcome."

Heaving another sigh for what suicidal action he needed to do next, he summoned all the courage he had gained due to his master and turned around with a smile.

"Who do we have here? I didn't expect you to come all the way to see me?" he flirted in a low voice. He could see both host and customer's eyes widen in surprise.

Then it was action time.

Kanda could not believe what he was seeing. Wasn't the bean sprout supposed to be polite and innocent and not looking like that?

He glanced at Road and noticed her cheeks flushing up in anticipation. Hopefully, he looked wrong and it was meant for his 'client'! Instant panic cursed through his veins, as he could only perceive the other man nearing him. At the same time he saw her flush vanish and eyes widen, he felt a weight on his lap. His body immediately entered a flight or fight state, but for some reason refused to throw off the person on top of him. Only when he felt a slight peck on the right of his neck and blood flooded his head, did he manage to blink.

"I'll see you later~." The seductive voice whispered loudly.

The pressure was gone; And with it his composure.

Thanks for being patient guys!
