Ichirou Sohma
“Ichirou, are you almost finished?!”
Ichirou jumped at the sound of his boss yelling, causing him to whack the top of his head in the hood of the car he had been working on.
“Cool your jets, pops! I’m getting there!” Ichirou cursed under his breath as he continued on to tighten down the bolts on the engine block.
“Well how much longer are you going to be?!”
“A god damn hour if you don’t stop yelling old man! Just let me work in peace!!” Ichirou scowled at his boss, the old man rolling his eyes as he exited the area.
Ichirou had been working there for more than two years, so he could yell all he wanted. The new kid however, just sat and watched with a terrified look on his face.
“You’re just allowed to yell like that?”
“I am. I wouldn’t try it if I were you. I’ve been here for a while and I have gotten to know the old man.” Ichirou set the car battery in place and motioned for Saku to take over the job. “If you didn’t learn how to do this in your fancy college classes, I might just have to kill you.”
Saku finished the job without a problem and they handed the car back over to the customer.
“Here are your keys,” Ichirou said as he handed the woman her car keys. “Take better care of your vehicle from now on. You could even come in sometime and I’ll show you the basic stuff you need to know about it, alright?”
The woman nodded with an incredibly visible blush staining her cheeks. She left not to long after.
“You really have a way with women, don’t you.” Saku began tidying everything up while Ichirou washed his hands, arms and face.
“Runs in the family. We are a load of gorgeous man and women who have such luck with the opposite gender it’s a curse.” Ichirou laughed at his own joke, leaving Saku wondering why it was so funny. “I’ll bring in proof sometime. Just for you.” Ichirou finished up and waved goodbye to his work partner.
“Anyways, I have to go. I’m more than done for today.”
“Please be safe and see you tomorrow.”
Ichirou’s car was parked out back in the midst of many junk cars. He loved his car to death and always took the utmost care of it. He could have gotten a more modern car, but something about it just yearned for Ichirou to purchase it.
It didn’t take much of a drive before Ichirou was in front of his apartment complex, a nice little place for someone like him. He never really bumped into any neighbours and the only ones her knew of were men. His apartment was freakishly neat and very clean. Most people are surprised, but he didn’t really care. Ichirou was just glad he had a place to live.
Way better than the streets.
“That reminds me, I need to call Keiko and see of she wants to go star gazing.” Ichirou removed his cell phone from his pocket with a smile. “It’s supposed to be a beautiful night tonight.”
