“Shit! I'm going to be late!” Iruka said to himself as he pounded down the subway terminal. Every now and then he would look down to make sure he wasn't dragging the article of clothing he was carrying. It wouldn't be good if he was both late and had a dirty uniform to work in as well.
The dark-skinned man struggled to get inside the subway. It was a difficult task because the train was packed with schoolgirls and blue collars.
Once he was settled in, Iruka looked around and noticed the amount of men on board. He was glad he had decided not to wear his uniform to work or he would have been groped for sure.
After 15 minutes of moving, the subway stopped and the doors opened. Iruka allowed the crowd of people leaving the train to push him out as well. When he was finally off the train, he quickly moved to the nearest staircase. As he slowly ascended the stairs a huge smile appeared on Iruka's face.
Surrounding him was the city built for the everyday otaku, a city built for him.
And Akihabara[1] was this city's name.
Chapter 1: Welcome, Master.
After 5 minutes of walking from Tokyo station, Iruka came across a pink building with an animated poster girl hanging across it. A huge line of men were blocking the entrance to the establishment, but that didn't matter to Iruka. He was planning on using the back door anyway.
Iruka snuck into the back alley, all the while making sure none of the men in line saw him. The dark-skinned male opened the door and was glad to see that no one was in the back room.
After setting down the uniform that he had been carrying since this morning, Iruka began to undress until the only thing he was left wearing was some frilly panties. At first, Iruka used to hate wearing such undergarments, but slowly he got used to them.
Iruka grabbed his black and white outfit and began to put it on. It was when he was tying up his apron that his boss suddenly decided to enter the room.
“Oh, h-hey boss.” Iruka said nervously as he turned to look at his employer.
An angry look was on the gray-haired entrepreneur's face but it soften once he noticed the dark-haired man in his uniform.
“Iruka, you do know that tardiness is looked down upon when it comes to things such as a business, especially when you dealing with a job such as this one.”
“I'm sorry. The power to my apartment was turned off, so my alarm clock didn't wake me up.” Iruka said while backing away from his boss who was now approaching him with a lustful glint in his eyes. The younger male cringed when his back suddenly hit the wall, but before he could find another path of escaping; light gray hair had suddenly blocked his vision.
“You know this maid dress really does looks good on you.” The muscular man said while touching the hem of Iruka's uniform.
“You've said that before.” Iruka said as he tried to fuse himself into the wall behind him. “Um...Mizuki, can you please back away a little.”
“Mizuki?” The older man asked with a questionable grin on his face, “You're no longer calling me boss. Has our relationship grown that fast?”
“N-n-no! Mizuki I-I mean boss I...” Iruka desperately tried to form a complete sentence, but it was hard to do when you had a horn-ball of a boss hovering over you.
Mizuki grabbed Iruka's chin and tilted it so that the dark-skinned man had no choice but to look at him.
“God you're cute.” Mizuki said, his lips a few centimeters away from Iruka's. The dark-haired male made a distressed face for he knew what was about to happen, but luckily fate was on Iruka's side today.
“Um...sir.” Came soft voice. Mizuki angrily turned away from Iruka to look at a girl wearing a maid dress similar to the one Iruka was wearing.
“What is it?” Mizuki yelled causing the already frightened girl to become even more nervous.
“Um, w-w-we're ready to open t-the cafe.” The small brunette stuttered out. Mizuki sighed in frustration before backing away from Iruka. He then hurriedly walked out of the back room leaving the girl and Iruka alone.
“Thanks Hinata.” Iruka said to the shy female.
“N-no problem, Iruka.” Hinata said before leaving the room as well.

20 waitresses dressed in colorful maid uniforms stood out in the cafe's main lobby, including Iruka. Standing in front of them was Mizuki who was watching over them like a shepherd dog watching over his sheep.
“Remember,” the light gray haired man began. “Today is just like any other day at Master's cafe. All of our customers come here to escape reality so that they can be treated as kings, and you will treat them as such.”
“Yes, sir!” The waitresses said in unison. Mizuki opened the main door and men ranging from otakus to businessmen came pouring in. The waitresses bowed and spoke once again in unison.
“Welcome, Master.”
The phrase seemed to bring a big smile to the male's faces, and soon they were being seated to tables by different maids.
Iruka decided to start off the day by serving a shy geeky teenager rather than a horny businessmen who was looking for some after work 'relief'. Iruka walked up to a male, who couldn't be any older than 16, and grabbed his hand.
“Come this way, Master.” Iruka said as he led the boy to an empty table.
“No, Iruko! Take me instead. I'm better than that wimp.” Were the yells that came from a large group of man when they saw Iruka holding hands with a geeky teenager.
“Now what would you like to order?” Iruka asked after seating the high schooler.
“A strawberry cheesecake would be just fine, Iruko.” Replied the now blushing boy.
“At your command, Master.” The dark-skinned man said with a wink before running off to the bar.
“Ino, I need a strawberry cheesecake.” Iruka said to a blonde girl behind the pink counter. Ino turned away from the bar stool and yelled through a large window into the kitchen.
“Sakura, I need a Honey-sempai's favorite with love.”
“Thanks.” The dark-haired man said before turning around to see the large amount of customers he still had waiting for him. While most of the men were being served by other maids, it seemed like all their eyes were on him.
“Wow, you sure are popular.” Ino said as she too noticed the man staring at Iruka like he was a prime rib and they were hungry dogs.
“I know,” Iruka sighed. “It's both gratifying and annoying.”
The kitchen doors open to reveal a pink-haired girl carrying a strawberry cheesecake with a heart drawn out in whip cream on top of it.
“The only reason they like Iruko is because she's cute and nice.” The girl said while setting the cake on the counter. “Now if I was out here serving the customers, the man wouldn't be able to take their eyes off of me.”
“Well, I would gawk too if I saw you walking around with that big billboard on your body that you like to call a forehead.” Ino said while plucking Sakura's head for emphasis.
“Your just jealous you big pig!” Sakura said with an intense scowl on her face.
“As if!” The blonde remarked as she turned away from the pink haired girl. Iruka, who wanted to be as far way from the intense atmosphere as he could, took his cake and left. It was while he was walking back to his customers table that Hinata suddenly appeared beside him.
“Um... Iruka. Mizuki just told me you're on advertising duty today,” said the brunette.
“Not again.” Iruka groaned. “Well, can you take over my tables while I'm gone.”
“Sure.” Hinata said while taking the cake Iruka was holding in his hand.
“Thanks, and remember.” Iruka said in a hushed voiced. “It's Iruko when were in public.”

“Maid cafe[2]! Maid cafe! Come be served by cute maids!” yelled Iruka as he stood outside the cafe. Some of the people ignored him, but most would stop and take a quick picture of him with their phones before walking off again.
“God this is so boring.” Iruka said as he looked towards the sky. Suddenly a noise that sounded like large metal objects clashing together vibrated through the air.
Iruka, who had been daydreaming earlier, turned his head forward to see a car crashed into a parked one right in front of him.
“Oh god!” Iruka yelled as he ran to the wrecked car. From the outside it didn't look like much damage. Only the front part of the car was dented, however that didn't mean the passenger inside it wasn't hurt.
Iruka opened the driver door and saw an old man's body lying on top of the emergency airbags. Iruka quickly unbuckled the man from his seatbelt and pulled him out of the car. Once he got the driver outside and on the ground he noticed that the man was quite good looking.
The old man's hair was a light gray, his handsome face, which was clear of both wrinkles and blemishes, had a tiny scar over the left eye, which only added more sex appeal to the unconscious male. Iruka also noticed that the older man seemed to be dressed in very fine clothes. An expensive suit, a diamond studded watch, and shiny leather shoes was enough evidence that this person had it made. Even the car the old coot had just wrecked looked better than anything Iruka could ever afford.
The old man's body started to move and slowly his eyes began to open.
“Are you alright?” Iruka asked with his face mere inches away from the old man's. The gray haired male didn't reply instead he looked deep into Iruka's eyes almost as if he were entranced by them.
“Are you ok?” Iruka asked again.
“What...happened?” The older male said after finding his voice again.
“Well, it seems like you hit a park car while you were driving,” Iruka explained. “You must have gotten distracted by something.”
“I see.” The man said as he got off the ground. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a cell phone.
“Can you stay here while I make a quick phone call?”
“Okay.” Iruka said as he watched the older man dial on his phone.
“Hello...yeah, it's me... look I'm going to need somebody to pick me up. I got into a bit of an accident... I'm located 5 minutes away from Tokyo station... okay, make it quick and after that call my lawyer.” The old man hung up the phone and turned his attention back to Iruka.
“What's your name?”
“Iruka Umino.”
“How old are you?”
“25.”
“Do you work here?” The old man asked while pointing to the maid cafe.
“Yes.”
“Are you a foreigner?” Iruka frowned. He always got this questioned because of his skin tone.
“No, old man. I'm Japanese born and raised.” The dark-skinned male said with pride in his voice.
“Well, I- Hey did you just call me old man!”
“Well, you are, aren't you?” Iruka asked as he stared at the man's hair.
“I have you know I'm only a year older than you.” The businessmen man retorted, “Don't be fooled by the hair. It's only that way because of stress.”
'Well, I guess that makes sense.' Thought Iruka. 'Mizuki has white hair too and he's the same age as this guy.'
A silver coated car suddenly pulled up next to the two males. Iruka noticed that this car looked even more expensive than the car the man in front of him had been in earlier.
“Well, thank you for your help.” The handsome said as he opened the passenger's door to the silver car.
“Oh, it was no problem.”
“Here's my card if you ever want to do any business with me.” The gray-haired man said while giving Iruka a business card. “Oh, yeah and just for fair warning. I'm suing you and this cafe, so you better get a lawyer.” The door closed and the car drove off leaving a disoriented Iruka behind. It wasn't until the dark-haired man allowed the businessmen words to process through his head that he finally reacted.
“Wait a minute! What?!”

Akihabara is an actually city in Tokyo, Japan. More info about the city will be explained later in the story.
Maid cafe is basically a cafe where the staff members dress up as maids and serve the customers. I can go into a bit more detail, but I'll let the future chapters do that.
