Chapter 14 - Red Booth
The night's went on and she loved each night more than the last, she felt so alive. Yeah, when she was home alone she felt the darkness fluctuating, and she'd occasionally last out and trash another part of her house, but before she knew it it was morning again and it'd be time to get ready for her job as a florists assistant.
"I'm not going to catch this crazy bitch", Larxene snarled whilst she laid on the couch in The Grey Room.
"My suggestion is that we go for a little investigation and see how we should go about this!" Said Xigbar as he stared up into the dark sky, looking at the tiny heart in the sky.
"Where is she now? Has she moved?" Asked Axel intrigued, ignoring the smug looks she kept receiving of Larxene from the other couch.
"No you dope. She's in the same place as she's always been, it's just you idiots couldn't catch her cos she beat you up!" Larxene laughed.
"Yeah..." Axel looked over at his best friend Roxas, the only person who knew the truth. Roxas knew that Axel told her to run away so she could get away from the heartless, even though he should've let it weaken her so he could take her back her to the castle.
"Yeah Axel, you little weakling" Roxas laughed smugly.
"So... Where does she work?" Axel asked.
"At the new Bunny Club..." Xigbar answered, unusually quick, turning around and catching his fellow male members eyes, which all lit up at once.
"Haha yes! Best mission ever!" Roxas cheered.
"Yeah, if you can get in", Axel said with a smirk on his face.
Luxord entered the room.
"We leave this evening... Our little friend doesn't know what we look like yet so we we don't have to wear coats, otherwise she'd clock onto us immediately", he said, walking up to join them all.
"Will ya tie my bow for me, Keiko?! I can't do it!" squawked Hiyuki whilst she wrestled with her bow.
"Ha no", she replied sarcastically, but obviously Hiyuki didn't understand.
"But why?" she looked disappointed.
"Of course I will you moron", Keiko laughed and tied the black bow around Hiyuki's neck.
All of the bunnies were huddled around the mirror, fixing their hair and makeup before they left the room to start another exciting night as a bunny waitress. Cani barged into the room and slammed the door shut.
"Right ladies, it looks like we've got a busy night ahead of us cos the place is packed, you've got 10 minutes" she barked, "Keiko get here, your ears are wonky", she said whilst lighting a cigarette, beckoning Keiko over.
"Yes I'm coming", she drawled.
"Look... You better be careful tonight doll face... We have some interesting guests who I just have a weird feeling about..." Cani said in a hushed tone whilst she pretended to straighten up Keiko's ears. She took in a deep breath of her cigarette and puffed it out, creating a slight haze in front of Keiko.
"I wonder if it's them... Even so... I don't know what they look like...
She was starting to regret not making Axel pull his hood down…
"Right everyone, let's go!" she barked once more, startling Keiko and waking her from her deep thought.
Keiko left the room first and the other girls followed.
I love her, can't leave her,
Forever I'll always need her,
She lie, but I believe her,
Lovesick I got that fever.
Love stupid, I know it,
Love stupid, I know it,
I know, cause I'm a fool in love.
The music played as the girls all entered the main bar giggling and went to their posts. Hiyuki left to the casino and so did Cani, they were the main dealers. Unfortunately Keiko couldn't be a dealer because she didn't have the first clue about maths. Tonight, Keiko's duty was the drinks waitress in the bar.
My baby shot me down again,
Shot me down with the love and it go bang bang.
That girl's a killer from a gang,
Shot me down with the love and it go bang bang.
Xigbar, Luxord, Axel, Demyx and Roxas all queued outside the club all dressed in suits.
"You'll be lucky if you get in…" Luxord eyed the bouncers outside and looked back at Roxas.
"I will!" Roxas said eagerly, the others laughed, looking at the height of the spiky blonde haired boy.
And oh, I love her so, that's why I gotta let her know
That I'll be here for her to always love her down.
Keiko lifted the glasses filled with expensive champagne off the silver tray and placed them on the table for the men.
"Thank you" they said.
She smiled that sultry smile she had and turned around to serve the other guests. Keiko stood at the bar talking to the barman when Cani approached her and stood with her.
"Don't look behind you, but there's some interesting guests have arrived. One with red hair, the other white, one grey and another with dirty blonde hair. Be cautious Keiko, you never know what these men are up to."
"There's no need to be so paranoid, Cani" laughed the barman whilst he cleaned a glass.
"That's easy for a barman to say" she sneered.
Keiko acted casually and glanced around to find the 'interesting' men… she saw them immediately, they were cramming themselves into one of the red leather booths. She caught eye contact with the red one.
"Fuck…"
She looked away immediately.
"She's that one", Axel said in a low voice to Luxord, nodding his head towards her.
"Heh heh not bad, we've got ourselves a good one lads", said Xigbar looking over at her.
Keiko knew she was being watched…
