Chapter 15 - Keyboy
"Someone call our poppet over then" said Xigbar to all the other guys.
They all looked at each other; the truth was that nobody wanted to do it really.
"Well Demyx, you'll be too obvious…" Axel laughed.
"You'll just screw it up like you do with everything, Axel", laughed Luxord.
"Just go over there and look natural, like you don't know that they're suspicious", Cani advised.
"Right…"
Keiko walked over to the booth where they were all sat.
"Right, she's coming anyway, act normal", Xigbar said in a hushed tone.
And maybe that's the truth,
The clock can tick and ain't no use,
I wonder when my tux can see you when you're down.
"Hello gentlemen, may I take your orders", asked Keiko in a polite tone, she looked at them all one by one with her sultry smile. They all looked away, apart from one, that red haired one with the green eyes. Then the grey haired one with the eye patch looked at her.
"Yes poppet, we'll have 4 glasses of 1788 Cognac", he said.
"Is he for real? Does he realise how much that costs?"
"Yes, right away", giving the standard sultry smile which she served with every order, and she walked away to the bar.
"Well… that went well", said Demyx, leaning back slightly.
"Nah… she suspects something" said Axel, his eyes following her across the room.
"How do you know that?"
"I know these things…"
"Looks like we're going to be delighted with another bunny", Xigbar looked over at Cani approaching their table.
"How are you finding everything tonight?" She said with a fake smile.
"It's all great thanks, poppet", Xigbar answered.
"Great. Just a little tip for you guys… don't hassle the bunnies. Especially not doll face over there", she looked over at Keiko who was placing the drinks onto a silver tray.
"We wouldn't dream of it", Luxord said, leaning backwards avoiding the cold stare from Cani. She walked away before Keiko came.
"Here you are, I hope you enjoy", said Keiko, placing the drinks onto the table in front of them.
"Thank you" said Axel.
"I recognise his voice…"
Axel looked up at her with those green eyes, she loved that look. The look which challenged her, not the clingy look a man would give you where he was begging you not to leave his side until the day he dies, but the challenging one, an offer of challenge to get them. Keiko could read men like a book, just by the look they gave her. She suddenly felt the darkness rising inside her and she felt like she was burning up and she turned around to leave. Axel smirked at his fellow members.
"Have a nice night!" She quickly added before turning around to leave for her 15 minute break.
She ran to the staff room to find the fire door, she felt so hot she thought she was going to explode. She barged open the fire door to find Cani smoking a cigarette, puffing the fumes into the cold night air.
"Thank fuck... I can actually breathe..."
"You alright?" Cani asked.
"Yeah... I just got a bit hot in there..."
"Yeah, it gets like that sometimes, don't worry about it!"
Keiko breathed in that cool air, it felt like having an ice cold lemonade after being in the midday sun.
"I best get back to work, see ya in a bit, Hiyuki will be here soon so you won't be alone for too long!" Mocked Cani, she entered the building, leaving Keiko alone...
She heard footsteps behind her... she quickly turned around to find a short blonde guy in a suit... she quickly conjured up her ribbons and attacked him. He was knocked back slightly, and conjured up what looked like a giant key...
