Chapter 2

AN: Okay here is the moment I have been waiting for and all of you probably! ENJOY!

Keitaro woke up to the sound of beeping. He sighed at this, ‘I thought Seta said I was fired, why would he be paging me?’” He looked on it and again was the same number. He gave it a strange look. “Again. It hasn’t left me alone since last night!”

He turned it off. He then went on downstairs for breakfast. He looked at the all the tenants, all but one was there.

“Hey where is Narusagewa”, asked Keitaro.

“Naru left some time ago to shop”, said Motoko, “She had a message, ‘We should talk.’”

Keitaro sighed and he sat and ate.

Later he went back on up to his room and got dressed. Out of habit he grabbed his pager but realizing his mistake he was about to put it down, when it turned on and it beeped AGAIN and displaying the same number. This stunned him a bit. So he decided to call. He went downstairs and got to the phone. Shinobu took notice. “Who are you calling Sempai?”

“Uh some friend of mine Shinobu”, said Keitaro.

After dialing the number a recording played. “Got fired, someone is getting more than you, and is your name Keitaro Urashima.” Keitaro got stunned a bit more. “Well do we have a job for you. We are located at 1234 Borton St. in Tokyo. So come on down, OR WE WILL JUST KEEP BEEPING YOU TILL YOU GO CRAZY!”

By now Keitaro was taking this all in. Deciding to make good on it, and to find out what is behind this, decided to head there. He quickly got on his coat. “I’ll be back in a bit. Bye.” After that he left.

Kitsune and Su looked on. “What do you think what that was all about”, asked Kitsune.

“Maybe we are getting a food shortage”, said Su.

Kitsune said, “I doubt that.”

Soon, after driving using his banged up van (like Seta’s) he got to the location. It looked almost like a office building but it looked a bit run down. Keitaro got out and said, “Oh man, it’s old but, it sure looks like a fixer upper. He then tripped in small pot hole and landed on his face. He grimiced a bit in pain. He then got up. “Thankfully no girls nor Narusagewa is about.”

He then got inside. The inside was practically white. It was narrow and and there were a bunch of elevators. Nearby was directory and it said everything was on one place, Room 7. A voice then said, “If you are looking for a place it would be Room 7.” He looked and saw someone that looked like the janitor of the place. The man had jeans, and a white button shirt. He had on an interesting cap. He looked African-American, for he had black skin and whitish hair. He had a small beard and mustache on his face.

Keitaro nodded, “That’s obvious. So, uh, you where would it be. Is it on this floor?”

“No”, said the janitor, “It’s on the 7th floor. The stairs are just over at that door.” He pointed to a door nearby.

“Okay”, said Keitaro, “But why not the elevator.”

“It’s out of order, haven’t put up a sign yet”, said the janitor. He then looked Keitaro over, “Since you seem you have experience in it, would you like to help me with the floor.”

Keitaro thought a bit, “I would like too but I am needed.” He would then said, “I know, I will help you out the next time I come back here.”

The janitor said, “I will remember that. Thanks.”

At that Keitaro climbed the stair and then eventually made his way to the top. The top floor looked the same except a desk was at the end. Nearby was a ladder up there was a man working at a hanging light.

“Hey, excuse me, do you know where your boss is”, asked Keitaro.

“Oh I will tell you in a sec. Tell me does this light work?”

The hanging light went up in a blaze. The blaze was so big that it blinded Keitaro and he fell on his back.

“You okay”, asked the Electrician.

“I am, it was just a bit bright”, said Keitaro.

The electrician helped him up. “Not surprised. After all, it is since most people hide from me.”

Keitaro finally got a good look at the mans face. IT WAS THE JANITOR.

“HUH”, went Keitaro, “HOW THE? WHEN THE?”

“Don’t ponder so hard over it Keitaro. After all it will be the same as if trying to find out how you survive all those falls the girls always send you. Especially Su’s mechs”, said the Electrician.

“How did you know that”, said Keitaro.

“I can’t tell you that”, said the Electrician. Then unzipping his jumpsuit said, “The boss will.”

Underneath the jumpsuit was a white three-piece suit with a tie. He then tossed the suit aside. “I have been waiting for you Keitaro.”

Keitaro said, “Woah, you must have it harder than me, being the boss, the janitor and the electrician. But then again, I am kinda like that myself. But if you need any extra help I would be happy to do so.”

The Boss smiled, “Yup, you are just like your Grandma Hina, always wanting to help others. Of course she didn’t mind pulling up her sleeves either Keitaro.” He then approached Keitaro and stood beside him. “Some people don’t understand there is freedom in manual labor and that some people go home smelling horrible, but are happy.”

Keitaro started getting creeped out. “Okay, how do you know all this, how do you know my grandma, what happens to me and what’s going on?”

“Oh I know a lot”, The boss said putting an arm around him. Then pointing to a file cabnet, “Everything you did, said, done etc. is all in there!”

Keitaro got a bit curious, “If it’s okay may I take a peek?”

“Your life”, said the boss.

Keitaro said, “Thanks.” He didn’t notice the boss taking a step back.

Keitaro then pulled it open but it then shot out and then pushed him all the way to the wall and he let go sticking him all the way to the way. The Boss took out a file. “Hmm, this was a bit disturbing.” He banged the drawer and to Keitaro’s amazement the huge drawer fell right back in.

The Boss gave a bunch of ‘tch tch tch’s as he looked at the file, then sat down at his desk. “So many blasphemies, especially that one back on the bridge.”

Keitaro recovered. “How did you. . . Who are you exactly?”

The boss smiled and said, “Well I am the one. The creator of the Heavens and the Earth. Alpha and Omega.”

Keitaro said, “Are you trying to tell me. .. .?”

“Yes, I am Kami-sama”, said the Boss.

Keitaro shook his head. “Oh boy. What a day. Well listen, Kami-sama have a nice day, well eternity, but I have to get going.” With that he turned around but in front of him was Kami-sama and his desk. He turned back around and it was there. He looked back and forth. When he looked back the desk was not over where the door is. “Am I on candid camera or something?”

Kami-sama chuckled and shook his head.

Keitaro looked in disbelief then said, “If you really wanted to make me believe this you shouldn’t use that file cabinet illusion. Anyone, can tell that drawer is being fed through the wall from the other side.” He started kneeling down and began tapping the wall but Kami-sama got up and simply moved the drawer. “Where through the dry wall and concrete”, he asked.

Keitaro got up surprised. “That’s impossible, this defy’s every law of physics.”

“Says the boy who gets punched and hit so often and yet he still survives”, said Kami-sama as he got up from his chair. Keitaro was a bit afraid so he was backing up.

“Don’t worry Keitaro. . I am not here to hurt you, I want to offer you a job”, said Kami-sama.

“A job. . .what kind of job”, asked Keitaro.

“MY job”, said Kami-sama. “You think you can do better, well I am giving you a chance. When you leave this building, you will be endowed with all my powers.”

Keitaro just grinned and said. “Okay.” When he turned he saw Kami-sama again, this time in his Janitor attire. “All the powers of Kami-sama”, he said.

Keitaro goes turning back to where Kami-sama was, “You know you should. . .” Kami-sama wasn’t behind him so he turned back, “Would you just . .”. Kami-sama wasn’t there either. “Man. . .”, said Keitaro. He then left the building.

To be continued. . . .
