Amber Eyes
Chapter 4:Kenshin Works
Summary Kenshin gets a job at a nearby restaraunt with Kaoru. Wait.. a new man is in town... and he is looking for... Kenshin?
So what.. I fell for him a little. You would to if you saw him like that. All wet and steamy. Aaahh.. wait a sec. Anyways. That next day I realized how much money I was going to need to get food for two people.
I had to go back to my job at the restaraunt down the street called the Okobeko. Thats when I saw the sign saying "Help wanted" on the door. Did they fire me?? I ran into the building fast as lightning. "Did you fire me?!?!?!" everyone stared at me, customers, and employees. The shop manager took me to the side and told me what was going on.
"No. we didn't fire you. One of our other employees did quit though. If you ever bust in the store like that again you will be fired though." I could understand why she said that. I had over reacted. Thats when something struck me.
"Uh.. ma'am.. I have a roommate that needs a job. You see I invited him and then I noticed that I couldn't afford to take care of the two of us by myself so I was wondering if..."
"Of course he can work here. Of course he does have to actually work." I nodded and asked when he started. "You can go get him and he can work today." I was thrilled. Things were finally beginning to get a little better in my life. At that moment I rushed off to go get Kenshin.
When I got home, Kenshin was asleep. Of course, it is only 2:00. I don't have to work, lets sleep. I wasn't going to let him. "KENSHIN!!!" Kenshin hops out of bed and begins swaying back and forth repeating,
"ororororororororororororo" His jammies were so cute!!! They had little teddy bears on them. I was surprised to think that he had clean jammies but all his real clothes were dirty though. You could tell that he didn't sleep in his other clothes or they would be more rinkled. What did he sleep in? Oh well, anyways I got him up and told him about his job. "Oh that's nice. Well I can't wait to start toyawn morrow." He lies down in the bed and begins to go back to sleep. Of course I pull off his covers.
"Oh no you don't. You start today." After about ten minutes of trying to get Kenshin out of bed he is ready to go to work. He looked a little confused as if he had never worked before in his life. He probably never did. Oh well, there is a first time for everything. He has to work at some point anyways. Its not like he will live with me forever.
"Why do you have to work so early? It's only 2:00 it is still time to be asleep." He asked me.
"Oh please. Just because I invited you to stay here doesn't mean you can sleep all day. You are not a sleepover buddy. You are a room mate. There for you have to help pay the bills." Kenshin nodds and I could tell that he still didn't get it. I can't believe it. I am eight years younger than him and he has worked less in a year than I have in a lifetime. In foster homes I at least did chores. But this guy didn't even know the meaning of work. Ugh.
He did work though. Better than I expected too. He was taking orders and picking them up faster than anyone I had ever seen.In fact, he was in the middle of an order when I saw "him" come in.
He was a man that looked like any other customer, but something about him seemed.... bad. I don't know what it was. I mean he looked like any other customer that came in to the Okobeko. Yet he just gave me a bad feeling. It wasn't until later that I found out his name. Well, it wasn't really his name. It was really a nick name. Come to think of it I still don't know his name. All I know is that everyone called him Apocolypse.a/n yes it is an original cuz i couldn't think of anything I helped him to his table, like I do with every customer, but when Kenshin took his order, it seemed as though he sensed something too. We were right.
It wasn't until later that we knew we were right though. It was when we got off and we were heading home. I was walking home when I felt something hit my shoulder. Hard. I turned around but nothing was there. "Are you okay Ms. Kaoru?"
"I-I'm fine." We carried on walking and when we were almost home Kenshin turned around. "Did you feel it too?" Kenshin's eyes suddenly became very serious. He nodded, his face still stern. "What was it?"
"I don't know. But I will find out." It was then that I noticed that the whole time I knew him, for a week, he had been carrying a sword, and I never noticed. I couldn't believe I was so ignorant that I couldn't see the sword that he had been carrying with him every where. That was all I could think about. How could I let this man come into my home? Into my guest room? Is he the man I was mad at in disguise? Is he the person that I think he is?
I continue thinking rational thoughts when I feel something brush up against my neck. It was cold. It gave me quivers down my spine but I had no idea what it was. Suddenly I saw that man again. I became fatigued, sleepy, and I suddenly fainted. The only thing I heard was, "Kaoru!"
A/N i hope you like this story better than my kingdom hearts one. anyways please review!!
