Chapter 6
Disclaimer: I do not own Tsubasa.
Elegant is the only word that could perfectly describe this restaurant. I do not even believe it to be a restaurant, because it looks more like an expensive 5 star hotel rather than just a fancy restaurant, especially with its heavy red curtains and large chandelier lights. And where are all the tables and chairs? I can only spot a large desk at the center and a marbled staircase at the left side. The blonde approached the desk, I reluctantly followed him, our shoes made a small "clacking" sound at the marble floor.
"Excuse me, miss." The blonde spoke. I have not realized that there was a person behind that big desk.
"Yes? Welcome to Eternal Service, FFF, free food forever! What can I do for you?" the lady stated fast, and displayed a very abnormally wide smile that stretched up to her ears.
"Uhm.. table for two please?" the blue eyed man answered. I absolutely want to object but, once again there was nothing I could do. And besides, I am a bit interested in this restaurant anyway.
"Okay then, right this way sir." The lady stood up from her low chair and ushered us to the staircase.
We climbed up the stairs which by the way, has a red carpet laid on it. As we were slowly reaching the second floor I could here a soft sound of classical piano music.
"Wow, Kuro rin, this restaurant is very fancy." The idiot whispered to me. But I did not respond.
We reached the second floor only to find one straight hall with hundreds of doors on each side. This is just like a hotel! Maybe this really is a hotel? Who said this is a restaurant anyway? It just said "Eternal Service FFF Free Food Forever" but it clearly states not that it is a restaurant.
The lady stopped at one of the white doors that has a golden plate that says "202", she fished something in her pocket and handed it to the pale man beside me, "Here is your room key, sir. If ever you need anything, inside the room you would see a telephone and you can dial 311 and I'll answer you from downstairs and you can order from there." she hurriedly stated and displayed yet another abnormally wide grin and walked away.
The blonde stared at the golden key on his palm. "Woah." He said and inserted it inside the lock and opened the door.
He was the first to enter and before I could even see what is inside, I heard a loud "Woah!" that came from him.
I entered the room. Again, elegance is still present, a large chandelier is at the center of the ceiling, its golden lights makes the room even more sophisticated. There is a very large bed at one corner, a flat screen television at the center wall and a large, rounded glass dining table is at the center of the room and the floor is covered by a crimson velvet carpet.
"Kuro chan! This is amazing! I love this place!" he ran around the room and jumped up and down the poor bed.
I sighed. "Stop that, show mercy on the poor harassed bed."
He stopped and reached for the phone. He dialed.
He waited. I took that moment and surveyed around. Everything seems normal, but when I think about the whole idea of this place, it is not normal. I heard the blonde put down the phone.
"Kuro rin." He called me with an unusual tone.
I faced him.
"We have been tricked."
. . . . . .
"What?" I yelled. "What do you mean?"
"There was no answer when I dialed 311.." he explained. "What should we do?" he asked me calmly.
"Let us get the hell out of here." I stated and went for the door.
I gripped the door knob and tried to twist it open but to my horror it was locked. Oh great.
"It is locked." I said.
The blonde walked across the room, he lift up the red heavy curtain and easily opened the window. "Here." He smiled.
I climbed down the tree and landed on the soft grass, it was still night time and the air was chilly.
"Well that was suspiciously easy." I said to the blonde.
"Come on Kuro chan, we must get away from here before the lady notices that we are gone." He said and grabbed my hand.
"Wait." I let go. "Should we not stay and see why that lady tricked us? Or what this place is for?" I stated patting off leaves on my shoulder.
"Well, I think we should just wait for Sakura chan's brother cop to discover everything in this place. For now let us just report this to Syaoran kun." He declared. His face was different from before, he was.. expressionless.. no smile.. no emotion.. nothing.. and then, as if he noticed that I was getting suspicious of him, he smiled.
"Come on Kuro chi!" he stated cheerfully like his usual self.
The sky was full of twinkling stars and the moon was full, as the pale man drags me, I kept thinking, which is weirder, this city or this blonde?
