Next Day
English Class
Ms. Archer was holding one of her lesser interesting lectures of "Little Women" most of the class were becoming sneaky in listening to their music, playing video games, sleeping behind their books or chatting very quietly. Kai and Nozomi however, were stuck in their own little world.
"Jeez! Are her lectures always this boring, I thought you guys were reading?" Scuro complained in Kai's head. "You keep blabbering I won't be able to hear the teacher talk about a word's origin." He joked to Scuro with his thoughts.
"All you were doing was thinking about the "lady" and that's not part of listening." Scuro returned.
"Hmph! Touché on that Scuro." Kai whispered out loud.
(School Bell)
"Alright class your assignment is to predict the fates of one of the characters as the story goes on. You have the weekend to do this so don't slack off." Said Ms. Archer.
"Hey Kai." Nozomi stands beside him.
"Yeah Nozomi?" He replies as he walks out of the class.
"Are doing anything on the weekend?" she asks.
"I have to get to my job. I won't be back until Monday. See ya next week." Kai answers and walks out of the school.
"Nozomi! C'mon we have to get to the club." A long sky blue haired girl hangs by the window sill. And Nozomi approaches her.
"You know there's a thing called a door?
"Where is he?" Vi stands on the roof and watches over the school and finally sees Kai and jumps in front of him.
"Hi. You going to the dorms?" she asked as they start walking, "Uh, no. I have to go back home." He replied, "To the Human World?" Vi arches her eyebrow.
"Yeah, I'll be back on Monday." Kai takes his motorcycle out of the brush. "You have a motorcycle? Is Tokyo's portal that far?" She asks him.
"I found out on the first day of school that there was a portal in Tokyo." Kai admits and scratches his chin.
"It's just on the right in the fork." Vi pointed out to him. Kai looks and gets on his bike, "Thanks." He then takes out a list of groceries and mumbles to himself.
"What's with the list?" she asks Kai.
"The cafeteria needs these ingredients for next week so I gotta get them. These ingredients are all different, guess that makes sense when most of the students are from different countries." Kai explains to her, "Now that you mention it the second years said that the food last year was the worst, who's the cook this year?" She says with wonder.
"To be honest I'm the cook. I was asked by the secretary. They looked over my profile. Guess that was one of the positives after being made to repeat." He says to her as they walked to the path's entrance. Vi stops and Kai turns to her.
"You repeated Middle School? For what?" Kai laughs and said, "It was a ridiculous reason."
"Even though I have good grades, I actually got into a lot of fights, so even though I passed my finals the board told me that it would ruin their reputation as an elite school. Other schools wouldn't believe that a delinquent fighter graduated from elites." Kai cell begins ring and he waves to the vampire.
"Sorry I gotta go." The motorcycle's engine starts to hum and Kai disappears into the portal.
"So your boyfriend's not staying? Aww, I wanted to get to know him better he's a looker for sure!" A girl with sky blue hair that flowed down to her waist and her arms supporting her head asked Vi. The vampire slapped the back of her and replied, "He's not my boyfriend Yuzuru. So you did you find your man yet?" Yuzuru grits her teeth and scoffs, "Okay you got me there. However he does look tasty." Vi leered at Yuzuru, "Fine, fine." She put her hands up as a surrender before a fight.
West Side Tokyo
When Kai appears from the tunnel rain starts to hit his back and he sees cars piling up against the main road.
"Great, rush hour just what I need after two long weeks." Kai told himself as he waited on the red streetlight.
"It's a good thing she didn't come with me. Rain days are the worst. 4:30 better get a move on." The motorcycle starts to accelerate and moves past other vehicles.
Girl's Dormitory
"Two different people that is Kai altogether. One born from rage and violence that enjoys bloodshed. And the other born as a calm and warmer person." Vi thinks to herself in her room.
"Lazuli? Thinking about Kairos Zaraki again?" Moka appears behind her daughter.
"Mom! Don't sneak up like that, you don't scare me anymore." Vi told her mother. The silver haired vampire smiled and replied, "I remember when I had the first taste of your father's blood! It was irresistible, I wonder what the taste of Kai's blood is like?"
"Mom! I only drank it twice last week! You're acting creepy you cannibal!" She yells at her mother, "Hey! Keep it down up there!" A young woman yells from the room under them. After a few minutes Vi calms down and looks at her with serious glare in her eyes, "I never asked Kai, but, how does he know you and Dad?" Moka looks at her and says, "We knew his parents during our trip to Italy. Also where you were conceived." Vi makes a shocked expression.
"Sorry to tease you like that. They are also part of an S-Class monster race." Moka continues.
"But they live among humans and their on par with us vampires. Kai however, is very different than his race, one accident made his family go on the Vatican's "most wanted list"." She says with sarcasm and looks at the clock.
"Well you should do your homework and have a nice bath. No daughter of mine is going to slack off during school." Moka then leaves her with an arrogant smile and said. "Kairos Zaraki, you sure know how to pick a girl."
Cactus Club
(Engine from the motorcycle)
"That must be Kai!" A man said as he heard the sound of a motorcycle raised his attention. As he opens the door the entire staff runs out to greet Kai.
"Chef!" They said in unison and bowed down to Kai and he returned with a shorter bow.
"There he is, our boss and prodigy cook. Congrats ya little rascal!" The older chef gives him a rough pet to the head.
"Hey Jirou, so you guys kept this junkyard up while I was gone?" Kai commented jokingly.
"Oi, brat, did ya really have to go to some academy? I mean when you said they accepted you because of marks, that joke wasn't very funny. There were closer schools that would accept your marks as well." A muscular man that was a few inches shorter than Kai told him with a scowl.
"I just didn't want these schools to have a delinquent on their case that's all. So, you've been making sure that our food got here right? Natsu?" Kai gives an excuse and gives Natsu a feigned smile on purpose.
His face turns grimace and Natsu's tough expression fades, "Yeah it's here, and great to see ya boss." He grins. Jirou then slaps his back as hard as could knocking Natsu down to the floor.
"Bastard! What was that for?!" He yells, Kai snaps his fingers to get the staffs' attention. "Alright guys we better start preparing the tables. Our customers will enter the Club in ten minutes. Now go!" he orders them.
As the customers start to arrive the entire staff were as busy as bees and the orders were piling up in the kitchen.
"I need three Butajirus at table ten!" A waiter yelled out to the kitchen staff as others walked in and out of the room to the basement or bar.
"Alright!" Jirou responded and with Kai's help they prepared the three
"Um Kai, it's good to see you again. You remember me, I'm your part-time worker Sakura Inoue?" A blushed dark brown haired girl who was almost a foot shorter than most of the staff asked him. Kai just smiled and placed his hand on her head.
"Hey Sakura, how has your first week of high school been?" He asked her. She tries not to look up and says, "Well it has been good for the first week. Most of students from middle school were asking about you." Kai's smile started to fade after hearing that.
"So why didn't you enroll at the high school around here. I mean it's none of my business but…" Before Kai answers Natsu yells to get his attention.
"Hey boss! What temperature does the lamb have be cooked at again?!" Kai turns away and starts to go to Natsu's direction, "We'll talk about this later okay?" He tells Sakura and walks off.
"Sakura! Two cream sodas on table twelve!" A man yells at her, "Right, coming!" she walks off and turns just to get one glimpse of Kai as he helps the rest of the cooks.
Seven hours later
When all the customers left the restaurant and all the dishes were clean; the staff could finally have a half-hour break before closing. Kai just rests on his arm chair in the lounge and Jirou sits across from him.
"So you went to 'that' academy? Damn! Those were the good days. Get into any fights?" Jirou gives him a curious smile as he drinks his beer.
Kai just sighed and said, "Only two this week, but I did meet the kids of those guys you and my parents talked about." Jirou chuckles, "Yeah? So what are their girls like? Any hotties there?"
"Heh. Well none of them are really my type however, Tsukune and Moka's youngest child she looks just like her mom, with the exception of the black hair." Kai explains. Jirou starts to laugh out loud getting Sakura's attention.
"So what's her name?" Kai gives out a smile and replies, "A beautiful name for a beautiful girl. Lazuli Viola Akashiya or 'Vi' for short. She saw Scuro. I'd hate for anyone else to see or meet him." Jirou looks at him with a calm glare.
"Yeah, I guess going to that monster academy is necessary for you. I'm guessing you're going full time for the summer and part-time during school? Well no matter! The weekend is enough to catch up on what you've been doing at the academy," He clears his throat, "any way it's time to close up." Jirou opens the door and sees Sakura.
"Don't tell me you listened in on everything? Kai?" Jirou says, Kai walks up behind and looks at Sakura. He then puts his hand in front of her. "You will forget the events that happened on these last few minutes. You're only here to tell us you are leaving."
Sakura's eyes were entranced and regained consciousness, "I'm going home now, see ya tomorrow!" She leaves and the two watch her go.
Kai starts to suit up as Jirou locks the door. "That was a close one. You know she has a crush on you." He glares through his helmet's visor and says, "I know, that's why I will only see her as friend. Two monsters aren't worth loving."
Kai replies quickly and rides off into the night. "Be careful out there." Jirou says and watches as Kai turns around the corner.
Kai: I own a restaurant?
8LoneWolves: It's a cover up for something else what should I write, have you be plain bored during the weekends?
Kai: Yeah okay I guess that would make some sense.
8LoneWolves: Please write your love, hate, and support in the reviews. I won't be able to post next weeks for I must...STUDY STUDY STUDY! for exams. Ciao!
