A new start with old Memories
(Flashback)
'Zero I don't care where you are I will bring you back.'
"Last stop Shinjuku (I repeat)"
"Last stop Shinjuku"
'Well I guess its time to get off.' As Zero mad his way off the train his first stop was to go to the information booth and find a map of the area. As he made his way to the booth he was met by an elderly woman trying to read the destination board. "Excuse me but could you help me? My eyes aren't what they used to be." She spoke kindly. Reluctantly enough Zero aided her.
"Where do you plan on going?" He spoke kindly. "Oh I was planning to visit my grandson he goes to a fancy academy in the south. Maybe you've heard of it. It's called Cross Academy." Zero was stunned before he realized who this person was. "Excuse me but you would happen to be Takashi's grandmother would you." "Oh my how would you know that?" "Well I use to go to Cross Academy. Takashi was my neighbor in the dorms." She gazed at him quizzically. "Are you the famous Zero?" Zero couldn't help but blush. "Famous?" He spoke nervously. "I-I w-wouldn't say that" He stuttered. "Takashi talks well about you. He says your very kind once people get to know you. He said you could be temper mental at time to." She giggled. "Yeah that's Takashi alright." He spoke. "What brings you here from what I heard you the son of the academy's Chairman." "I am legally but not but blood. I was adopted. My actual parents were killed." He began to recall the memory of their corpses lying in lifeless pool of blood. Before being shocked out of it by a gentle touch to his arm. "I'm sorry dear." Zero shok his head its alright. He spoke confidently.
"That still doesn't explain why your here she asked." He averted his gaze. Finding the gum on the floor more interesting than their conversation. "Aww I see now you ran away. Takashi did that once." Zero was surprised to hear this. "Yeah he said that he was running away so he wouldn't be sent to Cross Academy. Funny how that turned out no." Zero was speechless. He knew Takashi love Cross Academy. But to hear he never wanted to go there was shocking. "How did he end up going he asked? He said the best way to run away would to go to Cross Academy and never talk to me again." "Wow that does sound like Takashi." She couldn't help but smile."Once he got there he called me and thanked me for sending him here because he had made a new friend. By the name of Zero Kiryu." Zero blushed from hearing this. He couldn't help but remember the first day when students stated entering the dorms. Takashi was lost and couldn't find his room. It was only coincidence that they were neighbors. But everything seemed ok then. "You hold a special place in his heart. I'm sad to find out that he won't be able to see you." Zero felt as though something were clenching at his heart. He began to tremble lightly.
"Zero I was glad you were their watching over my grandson. It set me at ease to know that he had a caring friend. But I'm sad that you did get a chance to enjoy yourself. I can see that you carry a heavy burden on your shoulder. But I know you will make the right choice in time." The train whistled for passengers to board. As I carried her suitcase to the docking bay I aided her by boarding the train. I waved at her seeing her off as the train left the station. As I made my way back to the booth I picked up a travlers guide. I began to look for places to rent. As I made my way towards the city. I began to think of Yuki. I'm sorry for not being a strong brother. But you won't need me anymore not with Kuran protecting you. He thought bitterly. Kuran, I wonder what he's up to. Zero felt like there was a tugging on his subcounsciencous when he thought of the arrogant pureblood, but ignored instead. As he walked farther into the city he came across a café that sold ramen for cheap. Hearing the growl of his stomach. He knew he had skipped breakfast. He walked into the café seeing a mix of all age groups before pulling u a seat and ordering. He order the spicy ramen filled with meat filled dumplings. As he dined he couldn't help but notice all the attention he was receiving from the waitresses. Deciding to eat as quickly as possible. He finished his ramen in no time before paying. Before he left he noticed the help wanted sign out front.
Giving a sigh of defeat Zero walked back in. "May I speak to a manager please he asked one of the waitresses". She blushed before going to the back room. A woman in a tight fitted shirt exited the room. She looked at Zero. Staring at him before concluding. "You hired" She spoke. Zero was not only shocked but confused. "What? Like that? I haven't even submitted an application." "Doesn't matter. You fit what I'm looking for perfectly." Zero gazed at her strangely. "And how is that?" "Easy you're tall, slender, and you would look good in the uniforms." Zero felt like he had just entered hell. "You start tomorrow." "Wait I can't." He yelled at her. "And why is that?" She asked with evil in her eyes. Zero felt his body freeze over. "I just moved here and need a place to stay before working here." She walked over to the vacant ads on the wall before selecting one that was the closest to the shop. "Here" She handed him the paper. "The rent is low so it won't be a problem to pay rent. And it's close." She repeated. "You should be able to move in today and be at work tomorrow. Be here at 12pm. promptly. My name is Izumi. And welcome to H-café." Zero sated disbelieving the situation he was in. "Wait, what the 'H' stands for?" "You're a boy figure it out." She grinned. What did I get myself into?
