Chapter 4: Mondays
The week passed and finally it was Monday. The day Akina would start her dream job with her new boss Lightning who she was slightly intimidated by, but not by much. Unfortunately she was already late.
Her alarm didn't get to her for about ten minuets. She basically rushed through the brushing of her teeth and the washing of her body. It took her about ten minuets or figure out what to wear for the day. She chose a black beanie with hair pins pinning up the left side of her bangs so she could see that where the same color as her eyes. She pulled on a black tee-shirt and a red short sleeved sweat shirt that zipped up, but she hands zipped it and left it open. She pulled up dark denim shorts that looked like the pan legs had been ripped off and pulled up long socks that where black and white stripes.
Akina rushed into the kitchen and grabbed a cereal bowl and put it on the wear down counter before she opened a cabinet revealing two types of cereal. Coco Puffs and Recess Puffs. She quickly grabbed the Recess Puffs and basically ripped the fridge open to grab the milk. She pored the cereal to the top and basically emptied the half full carton of milk. She shoved the milk back in the fridge and left the box on the counter before grabbing a spoon and shoving spoonfuls in her mouth, trying to get the day going to a good start. When she finished, she left the empty bowl on the ground and got up to leave.
After Akina left, she practically had to run to make it right on the dot. She pushed through the crowds before the building came into site. She rushed into the building and stopped right in front of Lightning, her boss.
"You're late" Lightning said darkly. The tone of the pink woman made Akina frown and look up at her.
"O-only by a minute.." Akina said looking at the time. This made Lightnings glare even more scarier. Akina felt a cold shiver run up her back as Lightning now towered over her.
"If you're late, you're late. In my office" Lightning said in a deep, cold tone before walking off into the direction of her office. Hesitant at first, Akina followed at a slow pace. When she reached the office, she opened the door too Lightning already sitting in her chair. Something in Lightnings eyes made her very nervous.
"C'mon. You can do it. You only got ten left" Lightning encouraged, not really helping Akina's situation. She was currently up in a push-up position and breathing hard as sweat dripped from her nose. Lightning punished Akina for being late and ordered her to do 60 push-ups. About almost a twenty minutes passed since the order was given.
"I'm trying!' Shouted Akina in a frustrated tone as she did another one. She lowered herself towards the ground and grunted as her muscles screamed bloody murder. She was defiantly out of shape.
"Don't get snippy with me. Remember, we still got the rest of the day. I could make you do another 60 push-ups and maybe even throw in 60 sit ups" Lightning said coldly.
Akina glanced up, trying not to loose her temper. She really didn't want to do more than she had gotten herself into. Slowly, she did another push-up, growling as she heaved her body back into the plank position.
"Let's go. We don't have all day" Lightning said crouching I front of the blond, looking down on the younger woman.
While going down to the ground, Akina's arms gave out. Frustrated, she felt a lump grow in the back of her throat. She sloppily pushed her body into the air before quickly doing about three. She didn't want her boss seeing her cry.
Akina looked up to Lightning, noticing the the amusement and interest the woman radiated from her beautiful blue eyes. It was no wonder Lightning hadn't found a love interest. Who would wanna go through this hell?
Determined to finish her remaining push-ups, Akina finally did the last few. For a few seconds she laid there until Lightning threw some clothes at her. Akina looked at her boss confused. It took her a moment to realize what Lightning had given her. It was a uniform for PSICOM.
Instead of the gear being white and yellow, it was all black and had less compartments. Most of the fabric was latex. On the left shoulder was a badge that didn't look like the normal PSICOM badge. On one of the the pockets located on the breast was her name and rank that read "Commanders Assistant". The top was a turtle neck with a zipper line down the middle.
On the pants there was a belt attached to it and there was a gun holster on the right hip and on the left hip was a sword holster. There where a total of 6 pockets. Two on the hips, two on the ass part, and two on the sides of the fore legs.
"Get dressed" Lightning said setting down black combat boots next to her and threw a pair of fancy looking sunglasses on the clothes.
"I'll get right on that" Akina said, grabbing all the crap she was given. Rolling her eyes she left to the bathroom to get dressed. She stripped quickly and pulled up the pants quickly. It was a little tight on her waist, but she was ok with it. Then she slipped on the black latex coat and zipped it all the way up, but she had a little bit of a hard time trying to get it past her chest. She slipped on the combat boots and grabbed a necklace from her pocket. On a chain there was the diamond ring she wore when she had gotten drunk last.
Akina clunked her way into Lightnings office once more for her orders of the day. She set her clothes down in one of the empty chairs in front of Lightnings bare desk. Lightning was sitting in her spiny chair and spun to face her.
"No problems I guess?" Lightning asked, resting her elbows on the dark wooden desk.
"It was a little tight on my chest, but other than that and an occasional wedgie, I'll survive." Akina said in a respectful tone. This must have sparked something in Lightning cause she could have sworn she heard a little "humph" from the pink haired woman. Her statement must have amused the older woman enough to make her give a little giggle.
"I'm going to show you the ropes for a few days. Today we are going through the patrol routs" Lightning said till Akina showed a slight uninterested look. Akina wanted a smoke. It wasn't often she smoked, but when she wanted to, she needed some sort of break.
"Is it ok if I take a moment to myself?" Akina asked, biting her lip to hide the nervousness in her eyes.
"Nope. You will get plenty of fresh air today, so there is no need" Lightning said standing up and putting on some orange tinted sunglasses with a thick black frame that only held the top part of the lens. They where the same type as the ones Akina had received from the pink haired woman.
Akina felt an uneasy feeling grip her heart. She didn't want her boss seeing her smoke. Afraid of the judgment she might receive and give a bad impression on the first day.
Akina sighed and slipped on the sunglasses she was given, and had almost forgot the necklace she had in her hand. She took another moment to slip the chain around her neck and let the ring dangle helplessly.
The ring held a huge diamond held by a very beautiful silver band decorated by smaller diamonds making an infinity sign on two sides. On the inside was an engraving that read some other language she couldn't decipher. The chain was a beautiful shiny golden chain that was just smaller than the thickness of a normal window pane.
This action grasped the pink haired woman's attention. Akina hand noticed right away, but when she did, she smiled wide. "It's a expensive looking isn't it? Luckily I got it for free" Akina said leaning on Lightnings desk.
"It's nice.." Lightning said staring at the ring that rested on the blond's chest. It was very beautiful. Perhaps it was an engagement ring, she couldn't tell.
"Well.. Let's go then" Akina said walking out of the office and waited for Lightning to take the lead and show her where they where to patrol every other day. Once they got out side, Akina risked her reputation and plopped a smoke in her mouth then lit it with a sliver lighter with a dragon engraving on it.
"What do you think you're doing" Lighting said, turning to glare at the blond. She felt the public watch the two women in sunglasses with badges and titles they feared.
"Relieving stress" Akina snapped, not really realizing the hostile tone in her own voice. She felt Lightnings gaze change. Before she could take a drag, Lightning took it out of her mouth. Anger flared in the blonds magenta eyes.
"Give it back" Akina growled reaching for the smoke.
"Absolutely not" Lightning said coldly and held it higher from the smaller woman.
"C'mon, give it here!" Akina said grabbing a hold on Lightings shoulder to keep her balance as she got on her tippy toes. She was just barely able to brush the moist end of the cigarette.
"This jeopardizes your health" Lighting said motherly. The tone started to piss off Akina.
Akina grabbed Lightnings arm and tried to pull it down enough to grab it but Lightning intercepted her wrist and held it from her arm that held the roll of tabasco and paper.
Akina hopped a little to try and get it but her efforts failed. "It's my life! You've got no say to how I treat myself!" She snapped, making Lighting finch.
"As a matter of fact I do! I'm your boss and I am the one to make sure you don't get yourself killed over something so stupid" Lighting growled as she managed to throw it on the ground and stomp it out. She felt Akina's iron grasp latch on her wrist and pull her hand off of her wrist.
Akina didn't say anything for a while. When she did, their route was half way finished. The topic was one Lighting wished not to discuss.
"Are you dating anyone?" Akina asked, finally looking at the pink haired woman. Surprise flickered in Lightings eyes as the words the blond spoke made her sink deep into thought.
"No. There is simply on one worth my time" Lighting replied with a cold tone, making Akina flinch. Why did this matter to the blond?
"Well I just thought-" the blond started but was cut off by an excited squeal.
"AKINAAAAAAAAA" a voice shouted from across the street. Akina's shoulders tensed as the source of the squeal ran across the street and over to them.
"Shit" Akina said under her breath just loud enough for Lighting to hear.
