Ikaku stood outside, hidden in the alley of the book store he spent his weekends working at and the maid café that more often than not held perverted old men looking to get their rocks off by taking pictures of the teens that worked there; one hand at his mouth, a cigarette between his index and middle finger and his other hand in his pocket. His fingers clenched around the small medallion he had been given by that strange figure. The gold medallion had an eye in its centre, a small onyx gem acting as the pupil. Ikaku took another long drag from the smoke in his mouth and crushed it under his black dress shoe “What a fucking weirdo….” He said softly before scratching at the tattoo’s that were etched in black ink across his neck before walking out onto the street and looking into the maid café. 

“Hello Ika-kun” the main server said, she bowed to him quickly and giggled. 

“Hey there, Mio” He nodded, his voice coming out as coolly as it always did “is my order done?”
Mio giggled again, a part of the Maid act that was her job “your coffee and muffin? Yeah it’s done…I’ll go get it” She smiled and ran off to the kitchen. Her black hair flared out as she walked off and the small skirt on her costume did the same. He shook his head, never really understanding the appeal of these places. She came back with his coffee and muffin and smiled “So Ika-kun….when are you gunna ask me on that date?”

Ikaku shrugged “probably never” He smiled and walked out of the café and into the street, recognizing the sound of one of his co-workers singing. It was Hibiki. Though her singing had improved since he had seen her last….which was only a few days ago. He raised an eyebrow at that fact. No…it couldn't be the same thing could it. Ikaku’s sight had been playing up for a few days as of late, the sun had even blinded him a few times…almost causing some accidents. He shook his head and waved at Hibiki “hey, what happened? All of a sudden you aren't shit at singing” He smirked a little.
