Sup.
So now Zero was a therapist. Yuuki, who might have been a little put off by her friend's tendency towards random jobs shifts, but she had to admit, he was rather good at this one.
"I don't think my parents love me," said a sixteen year old.
After Yuuki translated for him, Zero nodded. "Well, I can't say I can sympathize. I knew my parents loved me. At least I did before they were murdered. In front of me. My brother helped, and the woman that did it turned me into the thing I despised most in the entire world. I spent the next ten years of my life miserable, certain that I would become an inhuman monster. I asked the woman I trusted most to kill me at one point, but she wouldn't do it. Later I found out she was the very kind of monster that slaughtered my family. Did I mention my family was slaughtered? But no, you have some real problems."
The boy listened, eyes wide, and then left. People tended to forget about their complaints when Zero talked.
At one point, Yuuki laughed. "Well, Zero, you've saved thirteen lives now."
"Thank you nurse Yuuki. It has been a pleasure."
They were to save many more than day. Zero cured a compulsive liar with a punch to the face. Then he cured three manic depressives with three manic punches to the face. Some drug addicts soon learned that he had his own addiction…for punching them in the face.
But one man's face came in and left unpunched.
"Yagari-sensei," said Zero, his brow rising.
"Zero. I need your help."
"Anything sensei."
"I'm running for president."
"Of the association?"
"Of the United States."
"What? Don't you need to have been born here for that?"
"I wear a cowboy hat. Where do you think I was born?"
"What prompted this?"
Yagari shrugged. "That comes later Zero. But now I have to ask you—will you be my vice president?"
"I—I would be honored, sensei."
"Don't. This is going to be a lot of work. Things are bad Zero. The opposing party has chosen a vampire candidate."
Yuuki harrumphed. Yagari looked at her as if he hadn't noticed her until just then. "It's not just that he's a vampire Yuuki. You see…he's a buffalo vampire."
There was something in his eyes. It looked almost like fear.
Vote or Die, motherfucker.
