Chapter 1
The air was cold in the city of Kitsunebi. It was about 9pm, and Damian Parker was strolling to his new job. It was his first day, and he knew damn well he wasn't very excited for it. He had his hands stuffed in his pockets, and his nose and mouth were hiding underneath his turtle neck sweater he was wearing.
"Damn it, I should've worn something warmer," Damian murmured to himself as he continued to walk. He only increased his walking speed by a few paces because of how chilly it was.
"There's no way I'm going to get there on time," he scoffed to himself and he increased his pace only more and more. He had about 2 minutes, and it was his first day. This wouldn't be a good first impression.
The name of the bar is, Ame. That means rain, which suits the place and even the city. The climate was almost always cold and rainy. Damian likes this kind of weather, but only when he gets to freely stroll down the sidewalks; maybe splash in a puddle or two. Damian didn't mind getting messy, unless he was sweating. That's a different story.
Damian spotted the bright fluorescent lights ahead in the corner of a street. 'Ame' shone bright and dear god did Damian get a bit freaked out when he spotted a large man standing in front of the door. His arms were crossed and he was staring right at Damian as he walked towards the door of the bar. This man stood at a hefty six feet seven inches about, and he was muscular. He had a lip piercing and a nose ring, wearing some kind of suit. Was this place really that formal? Maybe so.
Damian hurried to the man, only assuming it was his boss, and he bowed. "Sorry, sir...I didn't realize I-"
"Get in there, change and get to the front," The large man growled. Some first day huh?
Damian nodded, his black hair messy and in his eyes, his blue eyes hidden away. Damian was much shorter than this guy. He was only about five feet and seven inches, so he was an average sized male. At least he thought.
Damian scurried inside and he found his way to the back. He spotted a black and white uniform. It was very formal, but looked cheep. There was even a bow-tie attached to it and it looked nice to him. Damian undressed and quickly got around to getting situated in this new outfit. Then he made his way nervously behind the counter of the bar, gazing over at his boss who scoffed and left.
Damian had experience with preparing drinks. Damian himself was old enough to drink. Twenty was the drinking age in Japan, which is a little strange to think about. Only thing Damian does is smoke occasionally. Well, that's a lie. He smokes a lot.
"Hello there, sir," Damian greeted within a minute of beginning his work. "How are you today?" Damian spoke with kindness and gratitude, even though apparently a lot of the people who come here are drunks and regulars. They are apart of some kind of gang, and come here to 'chill' as his boss explained in the interview.
The young man with almost red eyes gazed up at the newbie, a small smirk appearing across his lips. "Hey there, newbie. I'm pretty good, how are you?" He asked politely, his completely black hair almost completely tied back into a messy bun. Some strands of hair were wild and out of place. Clearly he had a long day. The man was wearing a dress shirt with suspenders. "My name is Kyu by the way. And you're...Damian," he read off the nametag and his smirk only got a bit wider. "Nice to meet you, babe," he said, winking at him.
Damian didn't know what to do or say for a moment. Babe? There's no way...you can just call someone that. So Damian gazed down at his slightly shaking fingers, and he shook his head. "Please don't call me that," he said nervously and he took a breath. "Please," he said again and he took out a few glasses that were underneath the stand. "What kind of drink would you like, sir?" He asked, getting straight to the point.
Kyu raised an eyebrow and his red eyes almost glowed with amusement which caught Damian off guard. Those eyes, there was something about them that made him drawn in.. "I see, a feisty one we have here," Kyu scoffed and he leaned his arm onto the table and rested his chin on his hand. "Fine, I'll just take any kinda red wine you may have," he exclaimed.
Damian nodded and he turned around, carefully grabbing the red wine from the cooler bellow, and he poured a glass of the wine for the man. He turned back around and placed the glass gently in front of Kyu. "Here you go, sir," Damian offered politely and he gazed over at a few dirty glasses that were left on a tray so he went to clean them with a wet rag. Damian's blue eyes occasionally scanned the room, spotting many things. He had learned a thing or two after a few minutes.
A gang by the name of 'Blue Cloud' who sat in the corner booths. There were four of them. Two men and two women. Most likely a couple kinda deal. Maybe even all of them were one couple but who's to say just yet. Damian wouldn't get to know any of them if he had the choice.
Another gang by the name of 'Red Swell' was in the opposite booth of the Blue Cloud's. It's clear they're rivals, but this one had all women, yet they looked massively badass. Many of them bulky and muscular, besides one who was in the middle of four of them. A prettier girl to say the least.
Finally, there were two loners at the very end of the bar who had just been drinking water. Those two his boss had been talking to. They seemed normal..but maybe they were apart of a bigger group.

Damian, throughout his shift noticed the older male staring at him. He tried to ignore it, but when he finally spoke, it was something rather shocking.
"Watch your head," Kyu said and he swiftly stood up, uncrossing his arms and grabbing Damian by the hair and yanking it down, while he lowered his own head. Before Damian could think or say anything at all about it, a small blade whipped passed the two and landed in a bottle that shattered and got everywhere.
Damian was face to face with the mysterious man. His red eyes was staring into his own blue ones for a second before he quickly whipped back and opened his mouth to speak, until he realized what happened. Glass shards were everywhere behind him and his large boss was already going towards the crowd who threw the blade. It was a large man at the entrance with two other men behind him. Everyone was staring..they must be a bigger gang?
"Ey, newbie," the taller man spoke, a smirk on his lips. "Welcome to the city. We saw you scrambling around the streets to find this place. Please, watch yourself. Cuz there are more of us. Alone in this city, you won't last.."
Kyu had suddenly pulled Damian closer to him, wrapping an arm around his neck, connecting their lips. Damian was too shocked to do or say anything. His blue eyes were wide and staring into the others red ones as a blush rose on his face. Once the two pulled away, Kyu had slowly approached the man at the door.
"I don't know where you think you're coming from, sir, but he's with me," he said and smirked. Kyu knew who he was. And he wasn't going to give up without a fight. And the fight began with some choice words.
"If you come near him, I cannot guarantee your safety throughout the rest of the night. We have been together for a long time. So, fuck off."
