Hi and Welcome to Ichigo Kisaki Café!

An advanced literate roleplay started by myself in an attempt to end my own boredom ( as well as yours ) revolving around the cute styling and setting of a maid cafe. Just before we go in any further, may I suggest that anyone with interest in the roleplay but without knowledge to what a maid café is exactly, a great source for information on the topic can be found by typing ‘maid café’ into the wikipedia search engine, ‘cause knowledge is power! Now that that’s out of the way, formal introductions! I'm Rainbow lime, your host for this main page, so feel free to call me lime, limeh, limey, rain, rainy etc. Anywho the roleplay is set in amidst Tokyo, Japan. As a side note, most people in this roleplay should be Asian unless otherwise stated. Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese etc. are all well and
good though so don't think you're limited to this part of Asia! Well I'm hoping this about covers the introduction and good ol' formal 'howdy-do'. Feel free to pm me any questions or point out mistakes I've made. Oh and thanks for reading this far, means I'm not wasting my fingers typing this all up for nothing.

OOC Thread || Profile Thread

Format | Inspired by various users in Barton town and the likes. ^^

Images | All can be found under very obvious titles on google and all are (c) to their respected creaters/photograpghers/bakers/candle-stick makers. I am by no means claiming them as my own. Special thanks out to Mint Candy and Hot chocolate for all their help with the codes and layout as well as to all who have so far showed an interest in the thread.

Concept | Well I can't exactly claim a maid cafe as my own idea but every other ( or most of them ) idea are 100% choco/rainbow lime goodness.

Well it seems you found your way right on down to the lil’ ol’ Ichigo Kisaki Café.
Japan’s greatest maid café of this century. Do come in, pull up a chair and treat your self to one of the many fine sweet deserts freshly made by our esteemed chefs!
Because at Ichigo Kisaki café, we treat all out customers, to only the best.

Ichigo Kisaki café is popular for it’s cute maid dressed waitresses and insatiably cute themes. It’s most liked among female customers and those crazy Otaku loving fans out there.
But unlike other cafes, ichigo kisaki only hires students who finish top of the class at the Makedo Konishi School for hospitality. Where only the best cooks and waitresses go to perfect their arts. Everybody in the school wants to work here! Why?

Because it’s ICHIGO Kisaki café of course!


And everybody knows that because of its such high standards and levels of perfection, just working at this café for two years can mean instant success in the culinary world, in any of its industries.
Start your own restaurant, you’ll be booked ‘til next September.
Become a personal chef, they’ll scramble to get you making their tea.
Seek to take your maid skills to a private home, every millionaire will try to out bid each other just to have you!
And that’s just working casual for two years.

Well now that I’ve built all your dreams and aspirations up! It’s time to bring them crashing down!
I didn’t tell you we only hire top class students for nothing did I now? Simple answer. No.
Every year five students are selected from the elite school, and trained for one full six months in which they must prove themselves to be worthy of retaining employment in the café. As a rule, only two of the five students will be hired into the maid staff, so that means it’s up to them to show off what they got! Behind all the cheerfully pink and puffy dental health-care worthy smiles it’s a hard fight being fought with tooth and nail. Friend against friend, sister against sister and let’s not forget the permanent staff trying to undermine the upcoming maids-to-be. It’s their job on the line as well if one of these ‘sweet caring young women’ can appear to be outdoing herself a great deal more than they are! What’s that, do I smell the flames of sabotage afoot?

However all’s fair in love and war right? And who can keep their minds completely on the ‘war’ part when so many distractions keep walking through the door?
Of course it can’t always just be about the customers, there’s more to the esteemed little café’s staff than meets the eye and perhaps it’s only a matter of time before that young busboy begins to catch your eye…

Still think it sounds easy? Well let me just remind you, it isn’t the customers or any of the small wage staff your trying to impress because, let’s face it, the person who eventually gets the final ‘all say, end-your-career-now’ decision lies solely with the manager of this establishment and simply flirting your way into the hearts of others isn’t winning you any points whatsoever!

So now you get the story. Romance, betrayal, rivalry and of course two positions up for grabs at one of Tokyo’s most up and coming café. Where else would you expect it?


All this and more await you at
Ichigo Kisaki café!

    [ oo1 ] This is a literate [to advanced ] roleplay. If you have to ask what that is. Leave.

    [ oo2 ] Follow the Gaia TOS [ Duh ]

    [ oo3 ] Keep Drama out of the thread. If your character is getting ignored or something, then go up to another person's character and start making conversation. Simple as that.

    [ oo4 ] Activity is loved. Let’s keep this place running until the end of time! So stay active. Don’t think you can make it? Just send a pm. RL sucks, but it comes first.

    [ oo5 ] Hey mother F***3R Keep all this cussing 5h17 out of the thread. Once in a while is fine. But not every second word.

    [ oo6 ] Romance is fine, but I don’t want characters who just met going at it in the middle of the high way in excruciating detail. Cyber sucks. Instant Romance Sucks. Take it sloooow.

    [ oo7 ] Profiles work on first come first serve. Basically, every position is game until a profile is sent in, after the background check has been completed. If someone else wants it when you send in your profile - they too have a chance. So basically, the faster someone gets their profile up and if nobody else wants that charrie - the faster they get it.

    [ oo8 ] Thou shalt not god-mode

    [ oo9 ] I'm are accepting five maid students only. That’s it. If you wish your character could be a chef later on in the RP. Maybe have your character aspire to do just that, and send them to Makedo Konishi school to learn the arts. If we keep this long term. You might see your character there!

    [ o10 ] Respect! Know it, use it, do it. Not just to me but to everyone.

    [ o11 ] No size 300 fonts. 9-11 should be fine.

    [ o12 ] Abide by all ToC rules. Going into detail about these isn't worth my time. A link closer to the bottom of the page is provided so read them there.

    [ o13 ] A little obvious but no Mary/Gary-sues

    [ o14 ] Look I really don't get how long it took you to code all those pretty lines and figure out some words to put next to it. Post formats look pretty, but all we really need is a picture of you character so we know who's posting. I will not delete your post if it has an overly long format, but if I have to warn you more than once I will. It's an easy rule to follow

    [ o15 ] Background Checks should be sent to xXx Zanzie xXx

    [ o16 ] Profiles should be posted in the OOC

    [ o17 ] Rules are subject to change. <3

While there are no strict records of how the Ichigo Café came to be. No explicit written text over how this miraculous café seemed to form into it’s glory over night. The actual events which turned this shabby shack into the splendour you see today can be explained simply by the Manager of the establishment. If you can find them that is. Chances are they’ll be running around, too busy to tell you this sort of thing. But Have no fear! If you have the time to listen, an explanation story is never far behind.

To begin, you will have to trace ownership of the café back to it’s original purchaser. Who brought the place cheap before even the current owner was born. For a brief time the place was lived in, but as society grew more modern. Expansive housing was called for. Thus the place was boarded up, forgotten and left to rot its way down the family line. Eventually however, the death of the third owner of the now run-down home left it to be passed onto the fourth and final descendant of the house. And now it’s days of glory were to begin!

It seemed that the new owner, had plans for the building and had the money to get it started.
The place was of course, covered in webs, Broken windows from vandals were still left untended and a few rat carcasses were on the floor. Picked dry from the ants.

It took money, drive and a whole lot of work to finally get the place looking just the way Descendant Four wanted. A coat of strawberry pink paint, iron lacing along the roof, new floor boards to replace the termite ridden ones, clear windows to let the sun in and a brand new ‘fully pimped’ out kitchen designed for both efficiency and space was put in.

It was just starting to come up to the new year when flyers where finally put up, advertisements in the local paper began appearing and the Ichigo Kisaki Café was open for the public! Reactions to the place were, at first, sceptic. It was occasionally called a few bad names. Slang terms for it started to appear. But in the end. Not even all the rumours and gossip could keep those high school girls away. Pink, frills and adorable uniforms. The news spread fast and eventually the place became something of a landmark to it’s initial town.

But like all fish get at some point, it seemed the Ichigo café was starting to become too big for it’s pond. So when the time was right, the Ichigo Café picked up it’s Vanilla walls and polished wood floors, to move to the big city!

Starting fresh was scary at first, could a small café, popular in the local world, really make the same impact in a new world. With new competition and near to no big names to stand behind? Answer. Yes.

Things took off even faster than they had in the small time. Starting off in a close-knit community meant everybody knew everyone else’s business. But in the big city, it was just the opposite. No one worried about anyone else and what they were doing. Each person too stuck in there own lives to really care. But eventually word did spread, people got talking and this time it was in a positive light.
With it’s prime location and celebrity customers, this place got busy, fast.

The ichigo Kisaki café has a generally homey feel about it. It is about the size of your standard one story home, that has an added on room which acts as the managements department for accounting as well as the staff meeting area and break room. There are enough tables for all the customer, and a console with TV is set up in the back corner for customers to play against their favourite maids!

It's humble charms are only added to by the adorable uniforms you can see fashionably worn by our waiting staff.

Must work cheap.

S T A F F Members


    xX. Manager .Xx

    Open Applied Taken

    The somewhat eccentric Manager of Ichigo Kisaki. She takes care of all accounting and otherwise boring chores of the café much to her own displeasure. She'll be the final executioner deciding factor as to whom the new employees shall be.


    xX. Head Chef .Xx

    Open Applied Taken

    Our Managers brother-in-Law. While not of the most notable culinary skills, his dishes have can’t be criticized as either over the top or under expectation.
    He's been with the café since it started and is the oldest staff member.


    xX. Assistant Chef .Xx

    Open Applied Taken

    A lucky earlier employed youth fresh out of your courses. While the title still says 'assistant' your work is far above that of the current superiors. ( head chef )
    Been with the cafe for the last two years.


    xX. Permenant Maid 1 .Xx

    Open Applied Taken

    Hired on the spur of the moment as business began to boom. You've been here almost as long as the manager and head chef. Unlike the other permanenant maid, you weren't picked because you were top of the class, you were picked because you were in the right place at the right time. Your position is one of the more constantly on threat ones, easy to be replaced by a newer more skilled accomplice.


    xX. Permenant Maid 2 .Xx

    Open Applied Taken

    The first maid to get through as a staff member via the new '6 months and you're out system. Whether this makes you more indispensable than any other is debatable but as long as you do what you're meant to be doing you'll be fine.


    xX. Busboy .Xx

    Open Applied Taken

    Busboy was a position that just had to be filled, and you just had to get a job. It's washing dishes, wiping tables and you only come in after school hours to do your job for a near minimal wage. Then again who else your age else gets to work somewhere like the Ichigo kisaki café?
    Youngest staff member to date between the age of 12-15.

    *Applicants for this position must bare in mind that a family member will be attending the establishment as well so therefore the last name of 'the brat's keeper' and busboy are the same. Therefore this shall be the younger brother of the Azuma family.



T R Y - Outs

xX. Applicant One .Xx

Open Applied Taken

Just out of Makedo Konishi, Ichigo Kisaki café invited the top five students to work for them, at a decent wage, for the next 6 months with an employment possibility up for grabs to whoever makes the best impression. You already know the standard of the joint and just how good it'll look on any further paperwork. This really could be your big brake!

*Applicant One is the twin to Applicant two. They will be played by two separate entities. Remember this is a chance neither of them can miss out on, but it's possible that only one of the pair of will stand out! Keep in mind that also as twins they share the same last name as decided by the creators of the roleplay, so as of now this is Twin 1. of the Hyashi family.


xX. Applicant Two .Xx

Open Applied Taken

Just out of Makedo Konishi, Ichigo Kisaki café invited the top five students to work for them, at a decent wage, for the next 6 months with an employment possibility up for grabs to whoever makes the best impression.

xX. Applicant Three .Xx

Open Applied Taken

Just out of Makedo Konishi, Ichigo Kisaki café invited the top five students to work for them, at a decent wage, for the next 6 months with an employment possibility up for grabs to whoever makes the best impression. You already know the standard of the joint and just how good it'll look on any further paperwork. This really could be your big brake!


xX. Applicant Four .Xx

Open Applied Taken

Just out of Makedo Konishi, Ichigo Kisaki café invited the top five students to work for them, at a decent wage, for the next 6 months with an employment possibility up for grabs to whoever makes the best impression. You already know the standard of the joint and just how good it'll look on any further paperwork. This really could be your big brake!


xX. Applicant five .Xx

Open Applied Taken

Just out of Makedo Konishi, Ichigo Kisaki café invited the top five students to work for them, at a decent wage, for the next 6 months with an employment possibility up for grabs to whoever makes the best impression. You already know the standard of the joint and just how good it'll look on any further paperwork. This really could be your big brake!




C U S T O M E R S

xX. The Fashion model .Xx

Open Applied Taken

One of the new hot sensations of the fashion scene you endorse a series of up and coming promising novice labels. Your recent run in with the café has only boosted it's already startling popularity. Still, it's so cosy in there you can almost picture yourself being an ordinary café go-er.


xX. High School Sophomore.Xx

Open Applied Taken

The average high school student. The café seemed like a good idea to try and it turned out being pretty good. It's been a little harder trying to convince others to come with you, but maybe as the popularity of the café rises they'll come over soon?


xX. The 'brat's keeper .Xx

Open Applied Taken

Older Sibling to the Busboy. It's more or less their duty to make sure their younger sibling ( The busboy ) is well taken care of. This means that they're there from 3pm-closing time. Of course due to house rules they're obligated to buy a drink every hour so they qualify as a 'paying patron.' Of course this can get very annoying, even to the manager.

*Applicants for this position must bare in mind that a family member will be attending the establishment as well so threrefor the last name of 'the brat's keeper' and busboy are the same. Therefore this shall be the older brother of the Azuma family.

xX. The runner-up .Xx

Open Applied Taken

Introducing applicant number six! No it's not a cruel joke. This is the 6th best student from Makedo Konishi. Yes, she missed out on this job opportunity by one spot! Whether they're simply hanging around out of envy, remorse or simply enjoy the finer service is unknown. But look at the bright side, at least next year you might be top of the class...maybe.


xX. The Business enthousiast .Xx

Open Applied Taken

Okay let's face it. This isn't the most appropriate restaurant for your head strong mind full of numbers and statistical facts. It's not somewhere where the socially elite mix. It's an adorable maid cafe that offers its services to the fawning fans of cosplay. But like you have a choice. It's the only establishment you can get to within walking distance of the office and have a meal without having every sentence end with 'would you like fries with that.' Still at least the company is...tasteful.


xX. The Badass .Xx

Open Applied Taken

C'mon, say it out loud. It's not like anyone's going to try and get you back for saying it. You're undeniably the 'badest badass' around. Or at least that's what everyone sees, or is it? It's hard to tell when you're a laze about unemployed guy trying to be a rebel by sitting around all day then in the afternoons strolling casually into a maid cafe. So what is it? Unemployed badass rockstar who still dreams your band is going to make it or just a lazy vagabond trying to look like you've actually got something to do?



If you're interested in joining, but see no parts that really reach out to you, feel free to drop me a pm explaining you character. I'll see what I can do about possibly adding just one more role. Although keep in mind it won't be a reserved role, others can apply for it. Just because you asked to have it put up doesn't mean another person wouldn't have.

Finally all roles are not of a set gender. Your mind may see the 'fashion model' as a female but keep in mind, no where has any particular gender been used to describe that person. Think outside the box!

So let's see that Resume?

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


Before you try to apply for a character, we'd appreciate it if you would send in a Background Check. This is just to make sure you fit the standards. That way no one will spend hours working on a profile only to be denied because their roleplaying skills aren't up to par. It's also for us to see how much you'll be on and whether or not you'll have enough time to be in the roleplay. Please fill out the form below and then send it to xXx Zanzie xXx. Once accepted, you can begin your profile. The title of the PM should simply be "BG Check."

[size=10][b]Username:[/b] Gaian name, duh.
[b]Position Wanted:[/b] Title here.
[b]How much I'm on:[/b] Weekends, during the week, etc.
[b]Samples:[/b] Two to three please. Links would be nice, but you can just post them as well.[/size]


First and foremost this Roleplay will work on a first come first serve basis. Spots will be assigned on a combination of both the profile which you submit and a Roleplay sample which should be sent in the background check. The time limit in which you must have profiles will be decided at a later date and shown at the bottom of this post. Pictures are to be anime and not real life photography. Should you decide to believe yourself exempt from this request, you will be asked to change the image and if you do not comply within the given week, your submission will be disregarded and the position opened up. The only possible reason which could change my mind would be if for some reason you could not get to a computer within the week to see the warning and thus could not edit the image. Of course your reason must be explained and no late entries and ‘ My computer broke down’ is not an excuse, sorry. You should be able to find at least a friend or another computer that you can use to send us a courtesy PM. But even if we do agree to look at your profile again, we’ll also be getting the consent of the other members now involved so that they are okay with it as well. Summing it up - Anime pics are good - Real pics are bad.
Profiles should also be posted in the OOC thread and a PM sent to Rainbow Lime saying which page it is on and the label of the person you are going for as the header.

A link to the Profile code thread is
Here.

All profiles are to be due by Friday the 18th of January.

User ImageStupid Hideaki! Sure, don't get him wrong, Junichi loved his little brother to death and was extremely over-protective, but that did not mean that he would let his little brother skip school so that he could spend the day at the useless cafe. Not to mention, that in doing so, he would have to stay there all day which means he wouldn't be able to practice his martial arts or study for his university medical degree. He found it annoying enough being in the little hang-out every afternoon and specific hours on the weekends, so he was definately not going to stay a whole day cramped up in pink rooms, surrounded by freakishly skinny girls dressed in outfits that certainly left nothing to the imagination. Not that he wanted to imagine anything about them at all that is. But back to the main subject. You see, Junichi was incredibly pissed because his younger brother had purposely skipped school so that he could go to work. Sure, Hideaki was getting more rebellious and he was getting harder to control but that did not mean that Junichi wouldn't stop looking over him at all times. Quite the opposite. At Hideaki's age, Junichi found school to me extremely important everyday aspect of life.

Right at this moment, Junichi could be found himself walking through the park, his final destination, the dreaded Ichigo Kisaki Cafe. After his private mobile number had been called by the school who were asking if Hideaki was sick today since he had not shown in homeroom, Junichi had promptly called the cafe that his little brother was employed at. The phone had been answered by one of the staff who had been surprised by his rather blunt question. "Is Hideaki currently working?" There was no doubt in his mind that the girl knew who he was at once. It seemed that among the staff there, he was known as the infamous brother of Hideaki. So what if he was a tad bit protective? The girl had, with doubt, realised who he was immediately and had politely replied with, "Hai Azuma-san. Ki-kun came in early this morning and told us he was working today!" Junichi found himself growling at the fact that the girl had dared to call his younger brother Ki-kun, it was simply preposterous. Not to mention, that he was no incredibly annoyed with his younger brother for being that tad bit too rebellious today. Grabbing his keys, phone and wallet, Junichi had proceeded to walk out of the house quietly before locking the door behind him and continuing on the small path that lead him to the local park, which was on the way to the cafe. It was this situation that now lead Junichi to be where he currently was.

As he walked along the path through the park, he ignored the happy shouts of little children who screamed for their parents to in. Raising his left hand, Junichi found himself messing up the front of his dark locks. A small wind rippled through his hair and it wasn't long before he had to brush the semi-long locks out of his eyes. Just another 5 minutes and he would be out of the weather and into the pink cafe. Once there, Junichi planned to walk quietly into the kitchen without any care for the workers or the customers. He would then grab his brother, pull him out of the kitchen before he personally walked the younger brother to school. Junichi definately hated the little cafe, but he would not stop his brother working because he could see the joy that came across his brother's face when he was working, but he refused for Hideaki to work on a school day, during school hours. That was completely ridiculous. Not to mention stupid. For all he could know, Hideaki could be missing important information in a subject that could take his marks down. Not that his parents really cared though.

After finally exiting the park, Junichi found himself on the same street as the Ichigo Kisaki Cafe. Glancing down the street, it seemed like there were more people then there normally were at this time of day. It was only 9:15 AM on a Tuesday morning after all. Ignoring the many people, Junichi dodged the small crowds, making sure that he didn't bump into anyone. That's right, Junichi was a complete germ freak. Simply putting it, he hated the fact of germs, not to mention that he wasn't very good with human contact other than his brother as well. Finding himself outside the entrance to the cafe, Junichi did not even spare a glance at the noticeboard of the day's specials before he slowly opened the door and entered, the small bell on the top of the door chiming as he entered. His eyes quickly darted around the small area, calculating the number of people and which staff members were working currently. After taking in the surroundings, Junichi proceeded to walk to the counter. Once he reached the counter, he would make sure that one of the maids made his younger brother come out so that he could go to school. Junichi only hoped that the manager wasn't there so early in the day. He just couldn't be bothered to deal with her right now.

                      The day had just started to get really busy as the true day began. People bustling around, bumping into each other without a care. Many were people heading out for work since it was easier to just walk rather then fight the traffic. The weather was fair, not for the ladies though, for the wind was so strong it was blowing everything out of place. The sun began to bake the sidewalks and if it weren't for that strong wind then the whole area would feel the full effects of the sun. There was a huge ruckus coming down the side walk that would make any person with their wits about them turn their head to see the drama. There was a young person, screaming into a cell phone. It had the appearance of a girl but then again they looked like a boy. It would be very confusing for the people around him. Yes, him. Two other people, practically buried in shopping bags swarmed around the boy in an attempt to calm him down. But he just kept yelling into the poor cell phone and torturing the receiver's ears with a winey and shrill voice.

                      "What do you mean the photographer is drunk? It's freaking nine o clock in the morning!" The boy was turning heads from all the way down the street by now. Many recognized him but were too scared to go up to him at the time due to his little fit of anger. It was causing a scene as they blundered down the side walk, people rushing to get out of their way. "This won't be the last you hear from me I swear, oh my god I swear if this isn't fixed by the time I get back to the studio, heads will roll!" The boy slammed the cell phone shut, nearly breaking it in half. The two assistants rushed after their boss down the busy side walk. They came to an area filled with shops and little cafes. But this person knew exactly were they were going and didn't stop till they got to the front door. One of the assistants reached around and opened the door and Yuuki Hayastu had walked into the Kisaki Cafe.

                      Yuuki sighed and tried to release the stresses that the day had already put him through. He just wanted a nice cup of coffee and some peace before the rest of the day swallowed him whole. He looked around and noticed there were quite a few people in there. He reminisced about when it was just a small business starting out. He took a deep breath, remembering what his yoga therapist said about directing his anger into something positive. But there was nothing positive to direct it at here. So he would probably bare and air of annoyance around him today. He picked a seat next to the window that showed the streets at their busiest. The morning night filtered in and caught his features just right to make him seem like some sort of gaunt and haunting creature. Mornings weren't really Yuuki's thing and he'd rather sleep until five o' clock at night then endure the daylight. The two men where sitting at another table away from Yuuki to let him cool off. They searched through they’re morning finding at the shops and talking about schedules. Yes Yuuki was not completely heartless, he enjoyed treating others to nice things as well as himself. Yuuki cupped his hand on his forehead and smoothed his hair back, trying to relieve his brewing migraine. He went into his bag and pulled out a water bottle that wasn't exactly water. Sure it looked like water but it smelled entirely different. He brought the alcoholic drink to his lips and took a good long sip of the strong substance.

                      He looked around the cute little cafe` which he enjoyed so much. He looked at his two assistants who where happily relaxing, one was eating his breakfast. Everyone else seemed so awake and alive this morning. It was kind of annoying him. He saw two girls sitting in the back who were obviously staring at him. Pointing and giggling. Yuuki sighed and rolled his eyes.
                      He was in no mood for stuff like that this early. Yuuki was almost drawing into a dazed state before one of the maids walked
                      up to him.

                      "Hello what would you like this fine morning Yuuki-kun" Yuuki nearly jumped by from surprise when she came so quietly, or maybe he was just to dazed out. He put the cap back on his 'water' and placed it in the bag.

                      "I'll have an espresso coffee with some honey toast." He paused and looked over at his assistants. "And whatever they had I'm paying for also." He said with a smile and a sleepy look in his eyes. The maid nodded and went off with her order. Yuuki continued to scan the cafe`. He saw a man standing at the counter. He recognized him, he was there often. From the gossip that breezed past him a few times he gained the knowledge that he was the bus boy's older brother. And from everything else he's heard about him, a quite unbearable person. Or at least that was what Yuuki had put to gather about him. But his brother, Hideaki, would be in school around this time. What was he doing here on his own? He knew that he didn't enjoy himself here as much as the others that came here so why was he there now? Yuuki's bored mind became attached to the little story that was unfolding before him. He was so nosy but it's not like there was anything else proving more interesting. He rested his elbows on the table and his head rested in one of his hands as he watched. Looking out the window every now and then to make sure there wasn't anyone staring. He hated being stared at but then loved the attention also. It was a strange situation for him.

                      A few minutes had gone by before that woman who was serving him brought his coffee and toast. He nodded and smiled and the maid hopped off on her merry way. Yuuki took a big gulp of the drink and let the warmth and energy from it flow through his body. He nibbled on his toast as he redirected his attention back to the angry brother who was waiting ever so impatiently for what ever he was waiting for. Yuuki took his cell phone out of his pocket and checked the time. He had about a half hour left before he had to get to the studio and deal with today's problem. Funny he would get mad at the photographer for being drunk when most of the time he was a bit tipsy himself. Would that mean he was a hypocrite? Well, it's the photographer's job to keep himself together, not really mine. Yuuki's logic was a bit contorted and he bent it even more when ever it suited his needs. He brought the coffee back up to his mouth and took a sip, peeping his eyes over the top of the cup.

      User ImageYawning, Hideaki stretched, extending his arms over his head. Other students walked around him, heading towards class. That was where he should be heading as well. Should being the key word. Instead of even thinking about class, Hideaki was standing in the hall, staring out the window. There were so many places he would rather be. Of course, the café was at the top of his list. In his mind, a plan had been forming in his mind. By the time he had pulled on his shoes and headed out the door this morning, Hideaki’s plan was firmly in his mind. He would go to school, as Junichi wanted him to, but he would not stay long.

      So, after bidding farewell to his overprotective brother, Hideaki headed to school. As usual, he was early enough to walk at his own pace, but not early enough to loiter around in the halls. He ignored the students around him, and had been staring out the window ever since. He had gone to school, needing to create the illusion that he was actually going to stay the day. It would have been too suspicious to stay at home, and Hideaki had wanted to get away from Junichi’s watchful eyes as soon as possible. Besides, his school was not that far from his final destination.

      Looking down at his watch, Hideaki nodded to himself. It was time to act. Breaking into a run, Hideaki headed towards the main gate. It would be closed any second now. He clasped his school bag to his chest and kept his gaze forward. He ignored any and all shouts from students and teachers alike. He wanted to get to the café as soon as possible. It was only a matter of time that a call would be made home, and he would be found out. He allowed himself one brief glance behind him before continuing to run. A wolfish grin was on his face. He felt no remorse about missing a test in his math class.

      He stopped running as he stopped beside the bike rack that was near the entrance. He dropped his back on the floor, unlocking the bike as quickly as his fingers would allow. He smiled as he heard a satisfying click. Slipping the lock into his pocket, he picked up his bag, sliding it onto the handlebar of his bike before taking off. He was not wearing a helmet, something that he was sure that his brother would not approve of, but he did not care at this moment. Adrenaline pulsed through his veins, and he felt so free. He sped away to the direction of the café.

      Dodging people, Hideaki whistled as he sped through the park. Usually, he would take his time when he was in the park, just feeling happy in the atmosphere of it, but now he had something else occupying his thoughts. Soon enough, the café loomed in front of him. He jumped off his bike and stored it near the back before entering the café. The sweet aroma of a combination of various goodies surrounded him like a warm blanket. He could not help but sigh with pleasure. Pulling off his jacket, Hideaki grabbed a half apron, pulling it on quickly. His school uniform was not that much different than what he wore here, so he did not bother to change at all really.

      Smiling, he nodded to the girl at the cash register. Before she could even ask what he was doing there, Hideaki fled into the kitchens with a small wink. He quickly started busying himself. There was still much to do, despite the fact that the café was not as busy as it could have been at this hour. He occupied himself with clearing tables and finishing dishes. He hummed to himself happily. This was his favorite place in the world after all. Hideaki absolutely loved working here. In a flash, his good mood was driven away. He heard a voice, a voice he recognized all to well.

      Flustered, Hideaki almost dropped the plate he was holding. No doubt, Junichi had finally caught on to him. His eyes darted back and forth. There was no where to hide in the kitchen. His only chance of escape was the front doors. His only obstacle, of course, was Junichi. Placing the plate down softly, Hideaki picked up a tray. He held it in front of his face, and started walked calmly to the door. Soon however, he placed the tray on a table, and started sprinting to the door. He did not want to be caught. Anywhere, even school, was better than being in the same room with Junichi when he had caught you doing something he did not approve of.
