[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
“Sakura serve that table over there! Hinata make sure you pay attention to all your customers! Ino can your hurry up with those drinks!” Mizuki yelled at the blonde bartender.
“I'm trying, I'm trying!” Ino said as she quickly filled glasses with soda and beer.
Master's cafe was in a panic. Today the cafe had at least five times the amount of customers they usually had. The building was packed with men and distressed maids. The line outside was so long that it was blocking the entrance to stores beside the coffee shop.
Iruka, who had just finished serving his sixteenth customer, leaned his exhausted body against the wall. It was only nine a. m. and already he was worn out.
“Why are there so many people here today?” Iruka asked after wiping off some sweat from his forehead.
“Most likely they're customers of the recently closed maid cafe a few streets down from us,” said a maid walking by.
“Closed?” Iruka curiously asked.
“Yeah, for some reason they just up and left.”
It seems like there buying out all the smaller stores first in order not to cause a big scene, however it won't be long before they make their presence known.
“Iruko. Iruko!” Sakura yelled.
“Huh?” Iruka said as he snapped out of his daydream.
“You have a customer waiting for you at the door.”
“Oh, right,” Iruka said as he got off the wall. His mind continued to be haunted by Shino's words. There is no way that Akihabara is being taking over. It is just a coincident, that's all.
“Welcome, Master!” The dark haired man said as he bowed. Iruka raised his body back up and let out a tiny gasp once he took a good look at the man standing before him.
“Mr. Hatake!”
Chapter 4: Silver meets Silver
Iruka felt frozen to the ground in fear as he looked at the businessman in front of him. The silver-haired man's eyes seemed to possess a look of pure frustration, his lips were formed into a frown, and one of his feet tapped impatiently on the ground.
“You come to my office, begging me not to sue your little café,” Kakashi said with anger lace throughout his voice, “So I decide to take pity on you and give you the option of working for me. And yet, despite your whining, you seem bold enough to not show up at my office on the day we agreed on. Do you care to explain why?”
“Mr. Hatake, I'm so sorry!” Iruka said while bowing to the man again, only this time he meant it as an apology. He had been so busy this morning that he had completely forgotten about his promise to the businessman.
The downcast looked on the dark-skinned male's face, added with the maid outfit he was wearing, was all too much for Kakashi to take. His anger suddenly disappeared and taking it place was sympathy.
“I-It's alright. You're just lucky I decided not to go ahead with the lawsuit the moment I realize you didn't plan to come in today.”
Iruka looked up at the businessman in surprised.
“Mr. Hatake, you're so kind.” The dark haired man said with a smile.
A slight blush appeared on Kakashi face. What is it about this man that makes my body act so abnormally?
“I really was planning on coming today it's just that-”
“IRUKA, YOUR ORDERS READY!!” yelled the blonde bartender.
“Oh, sorry but I have to get that.” Iruka said before walking away from Kakashi.
“Wait!” The silver headed man said while chasing after Iruka, “There's a reason I came here. I need you to do a very important job for me today.”
“I'm sorry but I can't.” The dark haired man said while grabbing his customer's order off the bar. “The cafe is really busy today. This place needs all the extra help it can get.” Iruka began to walk to his table with Kakashi still following him.
“I'm not trying to avoid the promise I made to you. It's just that if I leave now I don't think the cafe would be able to handle it.” The younger male said as he now moved on to another table.
“But this is a business matter.” Kakashi said as he continued to chase the man around the room. “One of my employees got sick at a critical moment and...and...and will you please stop moving?” The older male said as he grabbed a hold of Iruka's chest from behind. He then pulled the dark-skinned male into his arms, making sure that he wouldn't be able to move.
“Mr. Hatake!” Iruka squeaked out as he looked up at the man holding him.
“Now that I've got you to stop. I need you to-.”
“Pervert! Pervert!” The maids in the cafe suddenly shouted at Kakashi. Kakashi, who was extremely confused by the employee's actions, was suddenly pulled away from Iruka by a pink-haired girl.
“So you think just because this is a maid cafe you can just go around groping women's chest. Huh, pal?” Sakura said as she bawled her hand into a fist ready to hit the man.
Iruka, who had been confused by the scene happening right in front of him, widened his eyes in fear as he realized what was about to happen to Kakashi.
“Sakura...” Iruka was about to shout, but he was cut off by another male's voice.
“Sakura, put him down. I'll handle him.”
The green eyed girl looked toward the person who had just spoke to her, and let out a loud gasp when she saw it was her boss. She let go of the male in her hand and quickly backed away from him. The whole room was quiet as the customers and maids waited to see what was about to happen.
Mizuki looked at the man he had just saved, then he looked at Iruka.
“Did he touch you?” The silver headed man asked.
“Yes...” Iruka began. “But he-” Before the young man could finish his sentence, Mizuki harshly grabbed Kakashi by the collar and dragged him out of the back door.
“Oh no!” Iruka exclaimed before chasing after the two.

Kakashi body was slammed roughly against the wall before a fist came flying to his face.
“I don't know what kind of place you thought this was, but you can take your perverted self somewhere else!” Mizuki said before raising his fist again. This time instead of connecting with Kakashi's face it connected with the man's palm instead.
“I took 10 years of boxing added with 20 years of KoryÅ«[1] .” Kakashi said as he held back Mizuki's fist, “I allowed you to punch me the first time, but I suggest you stop now before I'm forced to hurt you.”
Anger flash through Mizuki's eyes. “You son of a bitch!” He said before raising his free hand.
Luckily, Iruka rushed out of the back door quick enough to stop the fight that was about to break out between the two men.
“No! Don't!” Iruka shouted as he ran over to his boss and grabbed the man's arm.
“What? You're protecting this pervert?” Mizuki asked as he looked at Iruka in shock.
“I'm not a pervert!” Kakashi said angrily. “All I did was touch his chest! I don't see what the problem is.”
“His chest?” The silver headed boss questioned. “You know that Iruko is a he?” Mizuki then looked at Iruka , who gave him a sheepish smile.

The three man had moved back inside the building. They were now speaking privately inside the cafe's kitchen as they tried to understand the confusing situation they were in.
“So, let me get this straight...” Mizuki said as he glared at Kakashi. “You're telling me you have to work for this prick just because he couldn't control his dick while driving?”
“Well, I wouldn't it put it like that.” Iruka said while slightly blushing.
“And to my understanding...” Kakashi said while giving Mizuki a equally heated glare. “This bastard uses your body in order to get money from pathetic otakus everyday.”
“Well...um...”
“This is ridiculous!” Mizuki suddenly shouted. “Iruka belongs to me! He is my employee and anything that he does wrong is my responsibility! I can easily pay off any lawsuit you can throw at me!”
“Despite the large amount of warped men who fill your cafe everyday, I hardly doubt that you can even pay off one-third of the damages on my car.” Kakashi said in a mocking tone. “Besides Iruka had already agreed to work for me in order to make up for the accident he caused. So until then Iruka is mine.”
Iruka watched in silence as the two men argued back and forward. He knew the two were trying to 'discuss' a reasonable way to pay for the damages caused on Kakashi's car, but he couldn't help but feel that they were talking about something else as well. Too bad the young man was bad at reading between the lines.
“That's absurd!” Mizuki yelled. “Iruka needs to be here at all time! He is the most popular maid! We can't run this shop without him!”
“A deal is a deal. Iruka said he would work for me and he will.”
Mizuki gritted his teeth in anger. “You stubborn mule.”
“Hypocritical bastard.” Kakashi retorted.
“Look here!” Iruka shouted in order to stop the two men from fighting again. The older males turned their attention to the dark-haired man in the room. “Why don't we set-up a schedule where I work for Kakashi every other day. That way I can work at both jobs.”
The two silver headed men thought about the ideal of sharing Iruka.
This Kakashi guy is areal asshole, but I guess I have no choice.
Despite having a dick for a boss, Iruka is pretty smart. I guess his plan can work.
“Deal.” Both men said at the same time.
“Good,” the younger man said as he sighed with relief. “I guess I'll go back to work now.”
“Yes. I think you should.” Kakashi said as he lifted Iruka over his shoulder.
“Hey! What the hell are you doing?” Iruka shouted as he struggled to get off Kakashi's shoulder, but to no avail.
“You bastard! What the fuck are you doing?” Mizuki said as he once again was angered by the man in front of him.
“We agreed that I get him every other day and I pick today. Bye.” Kakashi said before leaving the kitchen while carrying Iruka.
“But you can't pick today! The cafe is way too busy to be a maid short!” Mizuki said as he chased after the businessman.
But it was too late, Kakashi had already left the building.
