Here's the prologue I promised for today. Would have had it up earlier, but Ma's plans got in the way. Eh, I got updates for my manga and a good comedy/romance movie out of it. Not too bad.
WARNING - Do not own any characters created by Squeenix. Those in the INFO and probably several others that i plan to create in the future are M-I-N-E.
Prologue – Late Night
"Yo, Guy I'm leaving!" I called out as I grabbed my messenger bag and keys from the hook.
"Alright, but do me a favor and try to come in early tomorrow. Jason won't be working since he's going to visit his dad who's ill. I'll pay you over time." He replied as he stepped from the back, where his office was at, grinning at me.
'Who could resist that smile on his face?' I thought looking at him, 'Despite him being in his late twenties and buffed out nicely.'
"Sure. What time would you like me in?" I asked as he shifted nervously.
"I was wondering if you could come in around lunch time since we have an inspector coming in around three and I was hoping to have this place cleaned up before they arrive." He replied as I shook my head.
"I knew about that so I went ahead and cleaned up the garage area. All you need to do is make sure out here is cleaned up along with the lounge, which is just sweeping and mopping, and your office." I replied smirking as he looked at me dumbfounded before looking out the window to see the garage cleaned except for the normal dried on stains and the three cars inside that were finally finished and ready for their owners to pay and pick them up, "Tomorrow I'll come in right after school and call the owners about picking up their vehicles. You just need to worry about cleaning up the areas I said."
Guy chuckled as he walked toward me and wrapped his arms around me in a tight hug. "And what would I do without you Mimi?" He asked as he kissed the top of my head.
"Probably be running around like a chicken with its head cut off or getting drunk down at the bar cause you lost your garage to the inspector." I replied smirking up at him.
"True. True." He replied smiling as he patted my head, "Now get going girl. It's already eleven and a dangerous night out there for women these days. Be careful and remember what I taught you." Nodding my head I bid him good bye before quickly leaving the shop.
Ten minutes later I found myself two streets away from the dorms, but standing in between me and that second street were five Turks and a small group of what looked like thugs. Standing in the shadow of the building I watched undisturbed as they fought before finally all the thugs were either dead or taken into custody. 'Probably for interrogation.' I thought as I sighed heavily.
Father was there.
Standing not ten feet from me with his back to me, but as I shifted I seemed to catch one of the other Turks eye and he fired at me. 'Trigger happy.' I thought as I wiped the blood from my cheek. Stepping from the shadows I smiled as father's emotionless mask faltered.
"Never would have thought I would see you on the streets eh?"
"Miyavi you're supposed to be at the dorms." He noted sternly through gritted teeth as I caught the sound of approaching footsteps, "Why are you out this late?"
"Wouldn't you like to know, but then again if you actually acknowledged my existence you would know I have a job to support me and my band." I replied hotly as a familiar carefree laugh sounded in the darkness nearby.
"That's true. She's a tough little worker whether its those perfect grades of hers or that job she has."
"Zack." I called as he finally stepped from the shadows followed by a familiar very high up SOLDIER following behind him with a solemn look on his face as he looked at the scene before him.
The cleaners were finally arriving and doing their jobs.
"It's funny what they say about kids wanting their parents' attention..." I mused as my eyes went from Zack to father and then back. "...they'll do anything for it and in the end sometimes they don't receive the payment they are due for their hard work." He finished off as we both looked back at father.
"What they hell are you talking about?" He demanded angrily. The veins in his forehead becoming clear in the white glow of the streetlamp light.
"Why don't you go home to Jenny and think about it." I replied smartly as I called mom by her name.
"Later."
Muffling a yawn I walked past them and finally got back to the dorms. Showering once I stepped into my dorm I entered my room to find my roommate, Yuffie Kisuragi, missing from her bed. Shrugging my shoulders I grabbed my Ipod and headed to bed.
Hm, personally not too bad, but I could have done more. I'll probably take it off one day and revamp it for the second time.
Later!
