The Witch

13: A Drunk

Zelda: you don't remember anything right? Like from any weird dreams .

Rin: weird dreams? Erm. Sure. I caught a rabbit and for some reason the rabbit turned into an elephant when I caught its ears. A really weird dream.

Zelda; never mind...

Rin: you're going to help Yanzou right?

Zelda: um.

Rin: thanks. So... How was your night with nagashi?

Zelda: it was... Was... Confusing.

Rin: huh?

Zelda: lets go.
_______________________________

Nagashi: Zelda.

Zelda: why are you here?

Nagashi; I can be wherever I like.

Zelda ignores him " Rin. Go press the bell."

* Ding dong *

Yanzou comes to open the door. " You're really here. " Zelda heads in. Nagashi follows behind, Rin then asks nagashi " what happened? " Nagashi sighed " just didn't go very well. Because of ..." He looked to Rin's face " some factors. "

Rin: what factors?

Nagashi: don't worry. It's not really your fault.

" *Burps* who did you bring today? Huh? Yanzou." That was yanzou's father. Gavin. He was drunk in the kitchen.

Yanzou: father... These are my friends.

Gavin: oh... Hi.  Hahaha... A girl. Your girlfriend?

Zelda: he's the problem isn't it?

Yanzou: yes...

Gavin: what? My son brought you problems? So sorry... *Burps* hahaha...

He walked towards Zelda and placed his arm around her shoulder " I know he isn't good... But... You know... Just settle. Don't be ... *Burps* picky like my those... Asshole bosses !! "

" I see. " Zelda took his hand away and with a tug, made him bang into the refrigerators.

Gavin: what are you doing?!!

Zelda: I hate drunks. Call akai.

Rin calls akai as told.
_______________________________

Akai came " oh.... This is bad. Miss hate drunks."

Zelda: get him awake. I'll be back 2 hours later.

Akai: how far can I go?

Zelda looks to Yanzou " no torture."

Akai: eh... That's troublesome. Ok. I got it. I'll just boil hot water and splash him. Then tie him up. Can I tie that kid up?

Zelda: sure. Just no torture.

Yanzou: eh?!!

Zelda walks pass Rin " don't follow me. " Then walks pass nagashi " don't you dare follow me. Don't piss me off."

2 hours later...

Gavin: you bitch!!!

Zelda sat in front of him " there we go. More energy. "

Gavin: what do you want from me?!!

Zelda: wife ran away. Lost job. Drunk.

Gavin: so?!!!

Zelda; I'll give you a new job. If you try to flunk it, I promise it won't be just hot water next time.

Gavin: why do you even care?!!

Zelda: don't really. But I was... Tsk. Paid. So I've to fulfill. As for your wife... She's married to someone else. Your drunk made her run.

Gavin: I... Shut up!!! Like you know anything!!

Zelda; you started to take out on your wife when you failed your job . Your wife ran on you, and that's when you trapped yourself in that hell hole. Decided that being the bottom would be the best. It's the worst you can hurt. Why bother climbing up again to get hurt again? You're hurt now. Why feel better to hurt again.

Gavin: shut up!!!!! SHUT UP!!! You don't know anything!!!

Zelda: I don't care what you want. I care what I want. You will take this new job. If you miss a day with no reasonable explanation, or basically try to flunk your job... You will suffer torture.

Gavin laughed " what? Threatening me? Little girl!!! " .

Zelda: see. This is why people are so stupid. They bring harm to themselves. Akai.

Akai takes out a burning metal insignia and burns onto his back. He screams .

Yanzou : father !!! Stop !! Stop!!! STOP!!!

Rin: oh my... Zelda!!!

Akai releases the press.

Zelda; now you'll remember.

Gavin pants heavily...

Zelda: the next time , you try to flunk. The burn will appear on your chest. *Grins* then you'll be able to see what my insignia looks like. *Smirks* akai loves taking people against their own will. So do try, flunk.

Gavin: what if... I tried my best... But still fail...

Zelda: you can't fail if you tried your best. That's the kind of job I gave . Gosh. Humans. So many questions.
.
.
.
Yanzou: thanks?

Zelda: oh that face... It was so extreme, it says. You asked for my help. Good bye.

Nagashi: let's make another deal.

Zelda; you have nothing I want.

She looks to him and looks away with annoyance " hmph." And leaves.
