Zodiac Bakery

Chapter Two: Hired

"Look, I am sorry Miss Honda but the position has been filled," A voice called out from the phone as a long brown haired girl looked a little discouraged.

"Oh that's ok!" The girl said cheerfully, trying to cover up her disappointment.

"If we need you we will call," the voice chimed again from the phone.

"Don't worry I'll be right here," Ms. Honda said with much enthusiasm. The girl heard a click at the other end of the line. A long sigh escaped her lips into the empty apartment. The girl slouched down in a near by chair and picked up the current day news paper. Tohru Honda began her usual routine of finding a job. She recognized many of the adds, but each had turned her down politely.

""What's this?" Tohru said out loud, a colorful add had caught her eye, "Zodiacs Bakery!" Tohru quickly read the add and picked up her phone and dialed the number the add gave. Tohru sat in her empty apartment clinging to the phone.

"Hello…" A man's voice answered on the other line.

"Ah hello, I am Tohru Honda, I am calling to see if you are still hiring." Tohru replied nervously. She really needed a job to support her bills.

"Oh yes of course…" Shigure's voice trailed off on the phone. Kyo shrugged, it was unusual to get a phone call but maybe some idiot did want the job. The orange haired boy went back to his work, punching dough. Kyo punched, hit, pinched, rolled, and attacked the lump of dough. He squeezed, twisted, deformed, and reformed the lump of bread to resemble a rat.

"Damn rats.," Kyo hissed as he struggled with his creation. Out of all the Zodiac animals, the rat was Kyo's least favorite to make. Kyo fought endlessly with the dough on what were supposed to be cute little ears. There was a perfect point to where the ears looked cute and still maintained the rat look. Kyo just never had found those perfect ears. The poor boy spent minutes trying to get the ears to work out just right, but once again he failed.

"What the hell is the problem?" Kyo yelled in frustration, "Stupid rats!"

"Kyo!" A sudden voice called out from the back room. The boy jumped startled at Shigure who came rushing out holding the phone in his hands.

"What do you want?" Kyo snapped, his anger had turned to Shigure instead of the misshapen dough.

"We've got a new employee!" Shigure sang in a sweet innocent childish tone, "She's a high school student too…AH!" Shigure just dodged a butter knife thrown at him.

"That's what you wanted to say…?" Kyo shouted in rage taking up another knife, "You bothered me just so you could employ a high school girl! You sick… sick dog!" Shigure found himself dodging more knives as he made a mad dash to his office.

"Just thought you might like to know," he said sheepishly locking himself in his office to escape death. The agitated teen stomped up to the office and attempted to open the door. Finding it locked Kyo smirked as he picked up the store broom and shoved it in between the two handles the door had. Instead of Shigure locking his office, he was not locked in his office.

"Ha, and they say we're stupid," Kyo laughed to himself going back to his painstaking work, back to rats… He sighed, maybe it would be good to have a new employee, at least she could do those stupid rats, he thought, smiling just a little. Shigure on the other hand frowned as he tried to open his double doors. He rattled the door continuously for a few seconds before giving up.

"Kyo!" The man sighed banging on the door. In spite of himself Kyo pulled it together and removed the broom, but not wit out a couple snickers at his boss.

"Very funny…" Shigure sarcastically replied opening the door. The dog like man stared sharply at his disciple, and for some reason he thought, boys will be boys… With experience Shigure knew it was true, he knew deep down he was no different. Lucky for Kyo he realized this before he smacked him on the head with a crinkled Karate classes add.

"What was that for?' Kyo cried out adolescently rubbing his head, Shigure gave the boy a sour look.

Smack!
