Chapter 8

I don't own the rights to Black Joke I don't make any money doing this I only own my Oc's. Just warning you this manga rated M so is my fanfic so please you must be 18 and older to be reading this you have been warned.

It was a quiet drive back to Maurice's house you and Michael haven't said much of anything to each other. Finally you have had enough and decided to break the silence.

"What the hell was that all about?"

"What are you talking about?" responded Michael

"You know what I mean! you know who he is don't you? That's Kiyoshi Kira of the Onsen he can have you killed for talking to him like that".

"Well I'm sorry if I offended your precious Yoshi-kun, but you shouldn't worry about what he might do, you're protected now"

"I' m not so sure about that"

"Well I am! you work for Valerie now and believe me nobody goes after one of her employees, and trust me if they did get you that damn casino would be burned to the ground the next day with every last one of them locked inside"

"Seems a little extreme", you say

"It isn't Valerie is one of the most influential people on Neon she demands respect she didn't get to were she is by being soft and you should take a lesson from that".

The both of you return to Mo's house and Michael grabs her things for the cabaret and then you're off to start your new job.

So far your new job was going by pretty well you were kind of a receptionist, but you would go into the club and ask customers how they were doing as well and kick out the riff raff but it didn't come to that yet. The only part you missed was the costumes you loved how you used to turn heads and how sexy this place made you feel. Though you couldn't complain the pay increase was nice and you didn't exactly love being stuffed into a corset, and lucky for you this weeks theme was rococo. Michael looked stunning as always the soft blue of her outfit and the ruffles and bows made her reminiscent of Marie Antoinette.

"Off with her head!" you think to yourself.

Though you were a little surprised she socialized very well with the guests. She was always friendly and smiling and from what you could tell she had a great sense of humor. So far you didn't get any complaints from Mo either on how you were doing so you figured no news, is good news. Maurice approaches you and says that it is time for you to take your break you can't believe it how quickly the time went by but you are pretty hungry so you leave. As you enter the staff room you see that Michael is on her break as well. You think about it and decide that you will sit down next to her.

"So how's your evening going?" you ask.

You see that she seems a little startled over your questioning.

"Well I guess, nothing unusual today though"

"Your very popular around here it must feel nice"

"It's not all its cracked up to be despite what you might think I don't fancy rich dangerous men", says Michael.

"So I am guessing that you're not happy about being requested for Mr. Corado's bachelor party?"

"Can't say that I'm to enthused no but I will do it all with a song in my heart and a dance in my step", she replied sarcastically.

All the sudden you hear your phone buzz you check it to see who it is you seem a little surprised it was Kiyoshi.

"Who is it?" questions Michael

"It's Kiyoshi", you say

You see her roll her eyes then proceed to eat her food.

"What so he's going to start texting you on your breaks now to?"

"What do you mean now?" you ask

"I could hear your phone going off last night I'm a very light sleeper and seeing that you don't have to many friends I just assumed it was him."

RE:Kiyoshi: So how are you gorgeous

"What do I do?", you ask Michael

"Answer him you dolt", snaps Michael.

RE: Evee: I'm fine sorry about this morning.

RE: Kiyoshi: That's okay it didn't really bother me but it would be nice if you asked Mr. Senna that question for me.

"He's pressing on about the new location of the club again", you say.

"Tell him to back off, he's a persistent bastard isn't he", says Michael.

RE:Evee: Kiyoshi why don't you make an appointment with you and me can state your case in front of Maurice and Valerie. Why don't you come in tonight.

RE: Kiyoshi: Uh are you sure that's a great idea?

RE: Evee: Well that's the circumstances that I'm allowing you can take it or you can leave it and stop asking.

Michael is reading over you shoulder and you can see her smirk over your comment.

RE: Kiyoshi: Okay then I will see you tonight I guess.

RE: Evee: And don't bring Douji show I assure you nothing will happen to you and try and show some damn humility to.

RE: Kiyoshi: Fine what ever you say Madame I will see you there tonight.

"It was about time you stopped letting him walk all over you, you teach people how to treat you, you know", said Michael.

It felt good to boss him around for once at the Onsen he was your boss, but working here you could treat each other like equals. The rest of your shift went by very fast you were getting a little excited to see Kiyoshi again. It's best not to show him that your excited to see him he shouldn't know that he has that kind of power over you. You need to start seeing other people and soon since your still sort of on the ropes you should probably stop obsessing over him.

You see a familiar face walk in. You walk pass you desk and smile and to your surprise Kiyoshi hugs you it was quick but you were still surprised.

"So lets meet this Ms. Valerie", says Kiyoshi

"Yes come this way", you say directing him upstairs.

You knock on the door and wait for Ms. Valerie do give you permission to enter as the two of you enter her office you see Maurice is already there waiting for you two. You decide to sit next to Maurice and Kira decides to sit down next to the other side of you.

"So mister Kira what is it you wish to ask me", asked Ms. Valerie

"Well Ms. Val is it okay that I tell you that?", said Kiyoshi

"No it isn't", she says scowling.

"Sorry for my impudence Miss, hopefully this doesn't change you decision on the next question I'm about to ask"

You see Valerie sit up straight in her chair the whole air in the room is thick with tension.

"Ask away", she says staring right at Kira.

"Well Ms. Valerie it has come to my attention that you wish to move your cabaret to another location and Mr. Todome and I would be ever grateful if you wished to move you review into the Onsen".

"Yes that's not unconventional most Casino's have there own reviews and shows but I understand that the Onsen doesn't have a stage"

"Yes we are well aware of that and if you say yes to my request we will have a stage built right away", said Kiyoshi

"Its not the stage that I'm concerned about its who you do business with that Runover Sione if you ask me he's more trouble than he's worth. I'm not impressed to be hosting that bachelor party either. Lets just see how the event goes and if I'm right and Mr. Sione just attracts nothing but trouble then it's a no to your request, said Ms. Val.

"I understand thank you for taking a chance", said Kiyoshi getting up and taking a bow.

"Understand this only if the evening goes well", said Ms. Valerie returning to her paper work.

Kira takes another bow and leaves the room Maurice motions for you to follow Kira so get up and walk behind him. The both of you stop at the entrance and Kiyoshi turns to meet you.

"I hope you get the answer you were looking for", you say.

"Yes I did thanks for setting up that appointment for me"

You begin to walk him to his Lexus he opens the door to the drivers seat. Before he leaves he leans in and kisses you on the lips. You don't refuse this time you put your arms on his shoulder and take the kiss in deeper. You break away still holding each other. The both of you say good-bye and you watch him drive away.

Thanks for reading I've been thinking about putting a sex scene into my story because there are some in the manga. But I don't want it to come off a little forced plus I don't want to get 50 shades of Neon on you people. Any way you can private message on your opinions on the matter thanks for reading.
