Chapter Nine: Millie's Work
"Knives~san! Look! We have a letter from Senpai and Vash~san!" Millie cried, barging into his room. Lucky for him, he wasn't undressed or in the process of dressing when she decided to come storming into his room.
"I thought you were suppose to be going to work," Knives commented, folding his arms over his chest.
"I was, but the letter came when I was on my way out. Senpai and Vash~san seem to be having a good time."
"That's nice Millie. Work, remember?" Knives said, trying to get her out of his room.
Vash and Meryl had been gone a week and so far, Knives had refused to leave the house and Millie had been trying to make friends with the quiet man. It had seemed to work to some extent. They weren't exactly "friends", but now Knives would talk freely with her and would call her by her given name instead of "Human".
Skylar also still visited him as well. Everynight, to be exact. Though he didn't much like dreaming her every night, he had gotten pretty use to her. Usually, they would talk about what had happened that day. She had a great sense of humor, though her eyes still gave Knives a weird feeling.
"Um, Knives~san?"
"Yes Millie? What is it?" Knives turned away from the window to look at the girl again.
"Um, do you want to come to work with me today? I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to. But you might wanna, you know, get out of the house?" Millie asked shyly. Knives was about to decline, but thought differently.
"You know, I think I'll actually take you up on that offer. I will go with you to work."
"Really? You will? Oh thank you so much! Now I'll have someone to talk to!" And with that, Millie walked out of the room, closing the door. Finding some worn in jeans and a comfortably loose shirt, Knives dressed and walked into the hallway, where Millie was waiting. Together, they walked outside.
It was so bright, that Knives was forced to put a hand in front of his eyes until they adjusted.
"Knives~san, are you okay?" Millie asked, putting a gentle hand on the platinum-haired man's shoulder. He nodded and slowly uncovered his eyes.
They walked in silence for about twenty minutes until a they arrived at a construction site. The guys who were working paused long enough to wave. Millie was about to wave back when she felt a presence behind her. She turned and saw the head boss standing behind her.
"Oh! Don~san! I'm sorry for being late."
"You are an hour late girl! AN HOUR! What in the hell kept you from work for an hour?"
"I'm sorry sir. But I got a letter from Senpai. I guess I forgot the time," Millie apologized.
"Damn Straight it won't!" Don, the boss, cried. Without warning, he lifted his hand and backhanded her. He did so with so much force that she landed face down, four feet away from where she'd been standing. Tears shed from her eyes and blood poured from her mouth as she turned to apologize to her boss again.
She saw that he was busy, however. The hand he had used to hit her was currently a sickly shade of purple and it didn't appear as if Knives was going to let up anytime soon. He was currently squeezing the man's hand rather tightly with a dangerous expression on his face.
"Knives~san," Millie murmured. She wiped her bloody mouth and proceeded to get up, but found that she was shaking too badly. She was barely able to hear what the two men were discussing.
"You see her over there?"
Silence.
"I didn't hear you Human. I said, do you see her over there?"
"Yes, yes. I see her. I SEE HER!"
"She will get her full pay now. But she won't be back to work. And now that that's settled, about what you just did to her…"
Millie didn't hear the rest of the discussion, for she promptly lost consciousness.
