MC: now for the chapter 3

Mint: prick...

Chapter 3- Enter Ichigo and TK

as Mint entered the Store, she saw that everyone was hard at work, but to her, they were not working hard enough!

She then focused her attention on the red headed, pigtailed, halfwit working for her, she was reading a newspaper while performing inventory, a skill she is very proud of.

the Newspaper read:

Psycotic murderer Rika "The Animal" Nonaka Executed by electric chair!

"a upstanding young woman and a insperation to us all..." Mint muttered as she approached ichigo.

"I ain't Paying you to gawk at some woman who was performing a civil service, now...GET BACK TO FUCKING WORK!" Mint bellowed.

Ichigo jumped, grabbed her clipboard and left for the storage room.

"Hmph!" she said as she went to check on the others.

Zakuro and Lettuce were manning the Electronics area when a little boy walked over, he was wearing a green hat, hoddie and light brown pants, his name was TK Takashi, a very sick young man, the city's polution and smog had weakened his immune system.

"cough...hey girls!" he said with a tiny cough.

"oh hi TK, looking for a gift for your mom?" asked Lettuce.

TK nodded, he then coughed hard until blood splattered out!

"holy crap!" said Lettuce as she rushed to TK's side.

But TK merely patted her arm, "no worries, that happens a lot..."

"TK, perhaps one of us should drive you home when you're done shopping..." said Zakuro.

TK nodded, that is until Mint stomped over.

"Like hell you will! you two just wanna get off work, and as for you, look at this! i just had Pudding mop this floor, why can't you just go to a fucking hospital like a normal kid?" she scowled.

"My mom can't aford it, i had just saved enough money to get a Christmas present." TK explained.

"Yeah...that sounds like a "you" kind of problem...one more thing, this ain't a Day care center, buy your present and get lost!" she barked.

TK hung his head, but Lettuce knelt down and hugged him, Then she stared at Mint with rage.

"Must you take your fury out on harmless people who do you no harm?" she scowled.

"on whoever that wastes my time!" said Mint.

"You're an evil woman Mint, you have forgotten what it means to love, to give to share!" she yelled.

Mint sneered at Lettuce, she then grabbed a mop and handed it to Lettuce.

"Clean this urchin's blood off the floor." she commanded, "and when you're done, clean out you locker and leave you ID at the security desk."

"why?" asked Lettuce.

"Well you think i'm so evil and so cruel, and that i don't know love and crap, i'm trying to run a busness, not a charity orginization, god knows i don't wanna drag you with me! in other words, YOU'RE FIRED!" she yelled.

"I feel sorry for you then Mint, i really do..." she said softly, and so she dropped the mop, tossed her ID to the ground and stormed off!

TK just stared at Mint and then went on to shop.

having been satifyed, Mint went to her office which was very posh and lavish.

as she sat on her massage chair, she grabbed her P.A mike and spoke:

Mint: Attention shoppers, to make your last minute shopping eaiser the MEW MEW department store will be opening it's doors on Christmas Day at 3:00 am sharp!

As soon as she said that, All the employees screamed WHAT!

it was offical, they hated Mint Aizawa, but little did they know that she would learn a valuable lesson this very night!
