I groan. I am so incredibly bored, it's not even funny. I lean against the bar, again watching the crowd of girls swarming around Kamamoto.
"What's wrong, Yata-chan?" Totsuka-san asks.
"I'm bored."
Kusanagi bangs his fist on my head. "If you're so bored then you can help out, rather than sit here and moan about being bored!"
"Hey!" I protest angrily. "Today's my day off!"
"You took yesterday off too. And we're busy, with all these customers, so get moving!"
Muttering angrily, I hop off my stool, grab a pad and pen, and go over to the nearest table.
"Wadda ya want?" I ask, disgruntled.
The girls jumped. "What?" one asks.
"I asked what you wanted. Well?" I demand.
"Oh. Uh, sake, please," she says.
I glare at the girl next to her. "You?"
"Water please."
"You're in a goddamn bar, don't you want some fucking alcohol?"
Kusanagi grabs my hair. "Quit scaring the customers, Yata. Aren't you the one who's always yelling at Kamamoto not to scare them?" He smiles at the girls. "Sorry about that ladies. Anything else I can get you?" he asks smoothly.
They shake their heads.
Kusanagi drags me after him by my hair. "Ow! Kusanagi-san, let me go!"
"What's wrong with you?" He releases my hair.
I rub my head. "Nothing. Nothing's wrong."
"Tell me."
"Leave me alone," I snap.
I hear a dark chuckle as Mikoto-san appears, leaning against the doorframe that leads into the basement. I feel my back straighten instantly, my scowl replaced with a smile. "Not in the mood to work, Yata?" His deep voice is amused.
"Uh-I-well..." I stutter. I can't admit that I don't want to work; he'd take that as me being lazy and make me work harder, or clean the toilets or something. But I didn't want to lie to him. I could never lie to my King.
He chuckles once and saunters off to his usual seat, sitting in it like it was a throne made only for him to sit on.
"He actually made an appearance for once," Kusanagi mutters before turning back to me. "I'll tell you what you can do. Ask Totsuka for a list of ingredients he needs for dinner tonight and go get them. And have him give you money, because I'm not paying for it," he adds.
"Fine." I stalk over to Totsuka-san. "What do you need for dinner tonight?"
"Oh, are you going to go shopping?" He smiles brightly and takes out a piece of paper and a pen, scribbling ingredients on it.
"Yeah well Kusanagi told me to do it and it's better than serving stupid, giggling girls."
"Aw Yata-chan, you know, eventually you'll find a girl who doesn't annoy you," he says, leaning on his elbow.
"Yeah. Eventually." I snort.
"Well here you go, and here's some money. Thank you!"
I grab my skateboard from the back and begin to walk towards the door, then turn around and grab my bat. Just in case a certain backstabbing Blue shows up. Just in case.
