Chapter 13
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.
Yeesh, shame on me the last time I updated was in the summer and now it's a new year. Happy belated New Year everybody hope it was a good one. Now time to shut up and just get on with it. I mean you've been waiting long enough. As well thank you Yakyi-dono for making me a fav.
For the most part construction was going by pretty well you and Maurice seemed to agree on a lot of things so there was no real drama. Then Kiyoshi would drop by and the mood seemed to change. Though Mo wasn't really verbal about it, it was pretty obvious that he didn't really care for Kira and the same seemed to go for Kira.
Other than the usual casual flirting between Kiyoshi and you nothing really advanced past that. You weren't stupid you knew that he wasn't spending his nights alone. Just because there was obvious sexual tension between you two didn't mean something was going to happen. You've kind of given up all hope beside you had a job to do. And you weren't going to let some sexy distraction get in the way of that.
Anyway this day wasn't any different than usual except for one special guest. Michael decided to drop by today apparently she was feeling generous today and decided to treat you and Maurice to lunch, and you weren't about to look down your nose at free food.
"Every thing seems to be doing well over here", said Michael looking around
"Thank you were trying to go with the same style and taste as the casino", you respond
"This is easy part just wait when you have to start hiring you staff that when the real fun begins", said Michael still looking around
"I would like a front side ticket for that!" said Kiyoshi literally appearing out of nowhere
"I'm sure you would Kira, but this is about hiring talent as well as personality its not just about tits and ass!" snapped Michael with a snarl
"Well we all know who has the tits around here", Kiyoshi said while winking in your direction.
You blush and quickly look the other way
"A line even Casanova himself would envy", said Maurice dripping with sarcasm.
"What the fuck do women see in you, Kira?" said Michael
"It's been like this every day", added Maurice
"Seeing that I'm not wanted I'll guess I will leave Evee and you two bitches! Alone", Kiyoshi said about to turn around and walk away.
"Come on now children we might as well learn to play nice seeing that we all will have to work together soon", you say trying to play the mediator
"Why don't you come to lunch with us Kira seeing that both Mo and Michael here both owe you an apology"
You hear nothing but grumbles all around, you'd be surprised if both Mo and Michael don't try to kill you tonight with coming up with this solution.
"Yes that sound fair enough, thank you Evee" Kiyoshi quickly turns around and walks towards the group.
Seeing that you all were going out together you decided to ride in Kiyoshi's car. Well not so much decided as much as Michael to you to, but you didn't mind. The restaurant was a fair bit away and with Neon traffic it would be a while before you gat there.
When you got into the car you were both silent for a while and it was a little uncomfortable and I guess Kiyoshi thought so too because he spoke up.
"I'm sorry that I didn't tell you this sooner but I'm happy that we are actually working together again", he turns and smiles at you.
"Thank you Kiyoshi you always know what to say, even if you don't mean it", you quickly added.
Kiyoshi just coughs then takes out a cigarette and lights it.
"Why don't you trust me?"
"Why aren't you honest with me?" you snap back
"Or that's the problem, you treat me like everybody else don't you?"
Kira takes a slow drag from his cigarette and then takes a deep sigh
"You know it hard to like someone who always expects the worst out of you!"
"You expect nothing out of me, and to be honest sometimes I feel like we don't even really like each other"
"Some times I think your predictable but then you show this courage and I don't know where it comes from. Your probably one of the few people I've met who are as smart as me but you second guess yourself so I can't take you seriously", says Kiyoshi all while keeping his eyes on the road ahead.
You push back with a look of shock on your face.
"….What? get that stupid look of your face you wanted me to be honest with you and there you go, you can't take someone seriously who doesn't take themselves seriously you'll find that I'm not the only one who feels that way"
You quickly change your expression and just sit back and your eyes stay forward it's not like he said anything you didn't know but it still shocked you all the same. You can see Kiyoshi take another drag from his cigarette from the corner of your eye.
"You may think I don't like you but I do, the more I get to know you the more I do. But unfortunately when it comes to knowing me you might find your self liking me less and less you understand?"
You just simply nod
" But you know Kiyoshi just because we don't like each other all the time doesn't mean we don't understand each other. I feel that you don't really want to get to know me or anyone else for that matter because you might find yourself caring for someone other than yourself. You're not strong and alone your just lonely and pathetic trust me I know the signs.
"Oh you do, do you?" Kiyoshi finished his cigarette and chucked he butt out window
"Well would a strong person have so many vices smoking, sex, drinking…"
"Well you may not have any vices but you sure have many annoying virtues" Kira added while taking out another cigarette
"There you go again, I'm not stupid you only smoke to help your self think, hears a bet for you Kira if you can go this whole lunch without a cigarette I'll let you sit in when we start hiring the talent, how's that?"
"Sounds good and I want something else as well but you can worry about that later and what do you get out of this?"
"That is my little secret, though I can't say that I'm not excited to see you sweat it out during lunch"
You finally arrive at your destination and Maurice and Michael are waiting for you at the entrance.
"It's about time we were thinking that you and Kira made a b-line to a hotel or something", said Maurice
"Then of course then you would have to make a b-line to a health clinic" said Michael.
You and Kiyoshi both chuckle a little embarrassed at the accusation
"Fuck I need a smoke", thought Kira
