《Time Heavenly Time》 The Beginning ¡° Hi..my name is Kanabe Nijo, Im a Divine Hatcher, I wasn¡¯t always so closely intertwined with Divines & Hellions, what are they? Well on earth we call them angels & demons. I also wasn¡¯t so physically fetching either..alot has changed. I have a story of a life time for you, do you want to hear it?¡± ¡±ok, lets go back.¡± ~~~~~ ** beep beep beep** **click** ¡± Today is an especially rainy day everyone, bring your umbrellas¡± Kanabe¡¯s eyes slowly opened¡­¡±mmm¡­ I really don¡¯t feel like going in there today.¡± he rolls over towards his desk and rolls back towards making a series of grunts and moans. Kanabe works as a section manager for widly franchised furniture store, he is the General Manager¡¯s errand boy and disliked by alot of other managers in the store for their assumption that he¡¯s a brown nose. It is daily wear and tear for him to work but there - but the likelyhood of him finding a job where he can use his accounting degree is slim, especially in a world where you either have to know someone or you have a place in like because they know you. Dog eat dog. ¡±Aggnnn¡± he slinks up from his bed and plants his feet beside his bed and stares at.... ¡±mmm I cant even see the ground, this stomach is getting a little out of hand here¡± he pokes the side of his stomach and watches as the fat ripples from one end to the other. This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. He sat for a few moments deciding whether or not the King Shoyu ramen he ate just before bed was worth it. Eventually he arose from his bed and put on his small oval glasses to head for bathroom. He spend the next several minutes trimming the hairs between his chins - got dressed and fled from the house as he was going to be late for another long day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [arrival] **ding ding** Kanabe slinked through the front door at work with his satchel full of applications for clients. ¡± haha, my god that is uncanny because I was thinking the same thi¡­..you¡¯re a little late there Nijo¡­¡± Kanabe looked over..there he was¡­. Kooru Worisu¡­leaning against the displays for tv¡¯s and beside him - Hana, the prettiest girl in the store. ¡±You know, I have the best sales in the 5 departments right now..I couldn¡¯t be more proud of myself.¡± said Kooru as he looked back towards Hana resuming the conversation. Kanabe sighed and shuffled down the aisle to his desk, his department is kitchen appliances. ¡°uncanny¡­uncanny¡­UN¡­CANNY¡± the words and face of Kooru saying it resonating through his mind as Kanabe stood there¡­ face to face with a rice steamer with pictures of curry on the pop art. ¡± Im going to do my best today¡± he said with a deadpan expression, still looking at the steamer. Sigh
" Mr.Nijo!" Kanabe flicks his eyebrows in retort to the voice calling his name. "Have you completed the applications from yesterdays sales?.." Kanabe turns around to see the body to match the voice, its his direct manager. Mr.Kang. Short and almost unseen by many in the store, its actually do to his height. Literally noone can see him coming or going. "Ahh. uhhh. Yes, i have them here Sir..everything you requested from Mrs.Aida to Mr.Xiang. Is there anything else i can do for you sir?" Kanabe said with his hands planted to his kakhis and bead of sweat interfearing with the trim of his glasses. "No Mr.Nijo....that WILL be all." Wanutabe Kang, short and with real emphasis for the unesessary words in every day life. Soon enough the day dragged on like every other, clients coming and going, Kooru glaring at Kanabe through the kiosk - giving him grins and slapping $1500 sales reciepts against the glass to show some superiority or something, well lets be honest...it was bullying. " ahh, i really have to get home and get ready for 10, im not in the mood for Oshiro to point of the obvious today" ~~ Bing Bing A voice over the loud speaker was heard throughout the departments " It is now 9pm, the store is now closed." Kanabe with almost next to no applications, grabbed his leather pack - slid whatever he had on his desk into it and fled from the appliance department. " wow now Nijo..how many sales did YOU do today?" Kooru steps from around the corner of the wall into the entertainment department. "....." Kanabe stood still in silence as he looked at Kooru. "yeah i thought so, i did a ton of sales today..employee of the month is already at home base." Kooru began to walk away laughing. Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.Kanabe stood there with what was left of his sanity and just as he turned his head to walk forward - Kooru snapped his head around abruptly and laughed even harder with an unsettling grin. " i swear, sometimes that idiot looks like he has a Hanya Mask for a face.." Kanabe said standing in confusion. ~~~~~~~~~ 9:40pm huff huff ....huff...BAH Kanabe was in his apartment wrestling a sweaty work shirt from his body. "those....damn...trains..AGHH. Finally." He flung his shirt over to the hamper and quickly wobbled into the bathroom. " come ON Kanabe, hurry" Kanabe fumbled around his sink cabinet for the cologne - he found it and spritzed himself - slid the small square bottle back into the cabinet and turns around to leave and on the way out catches a glimpse of himself in the mirror above the toilet...the stress from his day catches up with him, actually who is he kidding - the stress from his life caught up with him all at once. He sees himself all sweaty, overweight, out of breath and tired. " i refuse to let those memories dwell" he says to himself. He takes a up and down scan of himself, takes a deep breath in..eyes closed. " mom, i know you are resting in peace but... please help me do something more with life, im slipping into a daily routine that i can''t handle anymore, please - if you are listening, help me one more time." He stands in silence filled with emotion and almost as if hes waiting for a response. He opens his eyes - sighs and leaves the bathroom only to see that his clock says "10:09" "oh no.."
