Youko Rose Riyashee's Story

Rei Shinobu Sohma

Rei sighed as they were dismissed from the meeting. Thank goodness. She didn’t mind Rin and all, but those meetings where essentially the only change she had to screw up and she knew herself enough to know it would happen one way or another if she spent to long in Rin’s presence…it seemed like God wanted to see her mess up…She sighed again and shook the thought from her head.

She saw Keiko, Ichirou, Haku, and Daisuke standing around. Keiko and Ichirou where leaving and Daisuke was picking on Haku. Rei grinned as she skipped over, her bubble-gum pink hair flowing around her. She stopped in front of Daisuke and plucked the cigarette out of his mouth.

“Don’t you know smoking is bad for you Daisuke-chan?” She said with a for-shame look on her face before she grinned again and took a drag of it. She wasn’t an avid smoker, she only did when she was stressed, like at the meeting earlier.
“Why you picking on poor Haku?” She asked with another cheeky smile. She patted Haku on the shoulder.


Youko Rose Riyashee

Youko woke with a start, to the buzzing of her alarm clock. Time for work. She yawned, stretched, and got out of bed. A half and hour later she was showered and dressed in her uniform. She looked in the mirror. Her long purple hair fell in a neat braid down her back, and she wore a mid thy high black skirt and a white blouse with black stiletto heeled boots. She shook her head.

“Damn I look good” She said with a grin before she grabbed her red leather jacket and headed out the door to work. She grinned when she saw her old yellow junker beetle waiting for her. After a few failed attempts to start, she got her going and headed to work.

The Phuk Et, where Ko worked, wasn’t anything fancy. Just a small mom and pop bar and grill, but there was great service and awesome food….and honestly she all but ran the place so she didn’t have to worry about being late. She showed up and was greeted graciously with loud hellos and whistles. She shook her head and grinned.

“Oh good you’re here, table four needs service and our little intern is seriously not doing a good job.” Sandry her American co-worker said in a rush. The girl she was referring to frowned and looked like she was going to cry as a customer complained about the food. She smiled gently and touched the girls shoulder.

“Don’t worry about it, none of us get it right the first time….and Gus you quit giving this girl a hard time…the meal is on the house now shut up and eat” Youko said with a mock frown at the customer. He laughed and turned away.

“Just go bus tables six, seven, and ten okay?” she said as she headed to serve the customers at table four.

oops double post XP

"Tsst well I guess since you're offering. I don't have work today do you?" Daisuke replied.

Haku ran off a moment before she could invite him along. She shrugged not paying much attention to what the boy was up to.

Daisuke started telling her about one of his fights with two guys and a knife. She grinned and listened to his heroic acts.

“Bet I coulda kicked their butts and yours too, with my hands behind my back” she boasted with a grin, just joking.
Haku returned with the cake and immediately Rei was suspicious.

"So there was some sweets, lets take it back to your place Rei we can eat after breakfast and not share it." He grinned as he opened up the top. If he could have looked any more embarrassed or angry Rei had never seen it. He looked like blood vessels where going to implode all over his forehead. His cheeks where as red as his eyes. A moment later he had haku in head lock yelling "you think that's funny punk I'll show you something funny!" before he gave the younger boy a nuggie.
Rei peeked over the edge of the box and grinned.

“Aww how thoughtful Haku” Rei said with a devilish grin, enjoying Daisuke’s embarrassment way more than she should. Deep down her she was feeling a little bit embarrassed but she wasn’t one to show it.

“But are you sure you aren’t mistaking the monkey for the chicken?” She said with a grin.

“I think your jealous and you like Daisuke, almost as much as I do” she said with a laugh.

“Anywho, I’m heading home, you coming Daisuke? By the by your welcome to come too Haku…” Rei threw over her shoulder as she started sashaying down the street.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Youko yawned as she cleared her 13th table.

"Break time?" she asked herself as she looked around the near empty resteraunt.

"Indeed" she said answering her own question as she sat down at a table near the window.

Keiko got into the car carefully, trying not to crush the papers in her bag. Once she was in, Ichirou slammed the door shut, out of habit. "Good morning! You'd all better hurry if you want to get to school and work on time! Also, if you're hungry afterward, you can always stop by the shrine for a snack. I should have some ready by then anyway, so feel free to stop by. Classmates are welcome too so long as you're careful." he waved again as he passed the group, heading back to the shrine. Ichirou sent a quick wave and nodded back at Haku.

Keiko waved at Taiga and rolled down her window. "I forgot to say, but hello Daisuke. And hello to you to Rei and Haku. It's was nice to see you all today," she said with a warm smile. She was to oblivious to see anyone else passing by, and rolled up her window.

"And you might want to hurry, Haku, or you might be late." With that, Ichirou hopped into his seat and slammed the door shut. "Ready Keiko?" The younger girl only nodded before Ichirou speed off down the street. Keiko had told him before that it was dangerous to go that fast, but it was one of the few things he didn't really listen to her about. He loved cars and driving fast. That's why he worked with them.

Not to long after, they were parked infront of the school. Keiko quickly got out, seeing some of her friends near the front gate. "Thanks again for the ride, Ichirou. It was very nice of you." She bowed, softly shut his door and ran off. "Hey Aneko," she said, waving to the one closest to her. "Hello Kotone and Shou." Keiko had a thing for hanging out with mostly girls. The only reason Shou was her only really close guy friend was the fact that he was gay. He didn't like touching girls, but he sure loved talking to them. "Did you guys get the homework done?"

Aneko laughed for a moment before trying on a serious face. "Keiko, you worry me."

"Of course we didn't! I would ask you to be polite, but I already know the answer." Shou smiled at Keiko before continuing to gawk at the boys passing by.

"Well, it wasn't that hard. I had it all done within an hour. Hour and a half tops."

Kotone rolled her eyes and sighed dramatically. "I can't sit still for an hour." The girl snuck a glance a Keiko before double-taking. "Keiko, did you sleep last night?"

"Of course I did. I slept like a baby," Keiko lied with a smile. "We should head to class." As soon as the small group entered the gates, it seemed to triple in size. I have to get to class, Keiko thought after a few minutes of saying 'hello' and making small talk. "Well see you all in class!" She burst out of the group, walking quickly to the school doors.



Ichirou was almost to the garage he worked at when he noticed a nice looking place to stop for some breakfast. He parked and got out, checking the place out. When he got in, it seemed pretty empty, except for what looked like a few workers. "Hello?"

Youko heard the bell of the door ring. She sighed, not out of irritaion but out of weariness... Another customer. She didnt dare let the new girl try again....the last few customers she had served had practically ran out the door demanding refunds. She shook her head. That poor girl could litterally ruin anything....but she wasnt going to give up on her.

She stood and walked over to the dark haired man. Youko looked him over with a smile as she grabbed a menu.

"Hello, Welcome to Phuk Et, Table for one? Or perhaps you'd like to sit at the bar?" Youko asked with a polite smile. She brushed a strand of her royal purple hair out of her face as she waited for a response from the man.

Ichirou Sohma

"Hello, Welcome to Phuk Et, Table for one? Or perhaps you'd like to sit at the bar?" the girl asked with a polite smile.

“I think I’ll stick with a table,” he said with an equally polite smile. “Is this place okay to smoke in? I can wait if it isn’t, but I didn’t get to finish my last one. Had to take a cousin to school.” Ichirou followed her back to the table, walking a few paces behind. “This is my first time here, and you look like a nice girl. Got any suggestions for me?”

Keiko Sohma

Keiko made her way into the classroom, almost late. She had been stopped several times by several people. The hardest things were trying to get people to let her leave. She never was able to straight out tell people that she had to leave, and trying to close a conversation took forever when they kept opening it back up. It was just as bad once she stepped into the classroom, up until the bell rang. Everyone rushed into their seats, hoping to not be caught by the teacher. “Hey Keiko,” a girl named Kimi started. “I heard from Shohei that you have a sexy driver that drives you everywhere. Is that true? Do you like him,” she whispered the last part.

Keiko smiled awkwardly at Kimi. “Um … no. He’s my cousin and is just kind enough to give me rides to school on his way to work.” Kimi slouched in her chair with a pout on her face. She was probably looking for some long and romantic story between the two. The boy, Shohei, that had informed her of my cousin, walked in, as if on queue.

“They’re just cousins … only cousins.” Shohei looked slightly disappointed too. Some times teenagers, even though she was one herself, confused her completely.

Oh, Keiko thought out of no where, pulling out her planner. I have to remember to visit Rin after school. If Ichirou can’t get me, then I’ll just walk. Keiko wrote down the plan quickly on a free space. She shouldn’t have had to much homework tonight, so she wouldn’t feel horrible for rushing in and out like she had this morning. Maybe I'll see some of the other Junishii while I'm there ... it's always nice to see them.

YOUKO

“I think I’ll stick with a table,” he said with an equally polite smile. “Is this place okay to smoke in? I can wait if it isn’t, but I didn’t get to finish my last one. Had to take a cousin to school.” Ichirou followed her back to the table, walking a few paces behind. “This is my first time here, and you look like a nice girl. Got any suggestions for me?”

Youko smiled.

“Depends on what you’ve got a taste for. For breakfast we have great omelets, French toast, or pancakes, I’m personally a fan of the French toast….uhm…then for the lunch menu we have lots of great soups, I love the clam chowder and the potato soup. And for dinner….well we make pretty much anything…I personally like the steak, baked potatoes and broccoli salad….and of course I must recommend our ice-cream shakes and our coffee!” She said with a smile as she pointed each meal out on the menu.

“Let me know when you’re ready to order.” She said with a smile as she noted a new set of customers enter.
“I’ll be right back.” She said then went to get the new customer a table. She politely gave the group menus and turned to go back to Ichirou’s table but only got a few feet away before she felt a hand on her but. She gasped and spun around anger flashing through her veins. She felt fury run through her veins but she did her best to bite her tongue. She looked at the man and calmed herself before she said: “Sir, please don’t touch me” The man leered at her.

“Don’t dress like a whore and I won’t want to touch.” He said wile laughing.

“I think you should leave sir….”

“I think ill stay and enjoy the view. Bring me a sand which girl” he said. Youko felt her fury rise but she just turned around and walked back over to Ichirou, her face burning and her eyes stinging. She kept her composure and smiled at him.

“Ready to order yet?” she asked


REI

"Who wouldn't like you? They would be an idiot for not seeing how great you are" he said.

“Thanks” she said with a grin.

Blushing heavily he looked away. "I mean I'm better obviously but still.." He looked towards the eggs she put on the plate dug in.

"Mmm this is pretty good, I know eggs are simple but they are perfect." Looking to her again. "Hey since you don't want have work you want to....I don't know...hang out. Maybe go downtown or so something. Movies or even pick up those brats from school… Or the shrines or something" he mumbled.

“are you asking me out?” she said with a giggle before she composed herself.

“Never mind, id love to hang out” she said with a grin as she took a bite of her own eggs.
