I got home and saw that my clothes were back to normal, same as my hair. I guess drinking that coffee really helped. I walked up the four flights of stairs and entered room 205. My step sister was at her desk, working away. I smile and place the bag of food on the dining table. She looked up from her work and smiled at me. She got up and hugged me, like the old days.
" Thanks for getting dinner." She smiled even bigger
" No problem, it's all I can do for you since your working your ass off," I smirk and set the table.
I put the pasta in a pan and start to heat it up. I then put the meatballs in the oven, so they can cook properly. Chika sits down and rests her head on the table, she looks happy. I stir the pasta for a bit then sit next to her. I rub her back and calm her down for a bit until the oven rings a couple of times. I stood up and took the meatballs out of the oven to cool down, then I took the pasta out of the pan to cool also. While they cooled down I heated up some sauce to put over the pasta. I then served us with an equal amount of food, I put sauce all over hers. Only a tiny bit over mine.
" Tonight, I'm happy.Thank you Kotaka for getting me my favorite meal." She laughed
" Your welcome Chika. I hope you enjoy yourself." I smile back at her and let her start.
I look down at my plate and twirl my fork in some of the pasta. I pick up my fork and place it in my mouth. It tasted like I just had put slim in my mouth, I try not to bite, it slowly goes down my throat. I cough a bit and try to eat some more. I tried so hard to fit in that night, I couldn't eat anymore after the tenth bite. Chika looks at me and smiles, she was waiting for me to finish since she was already done.
" Are you okay? I can get you some medicine." She asked
" I'm. . . . . Fine. Really, you don't. . . . . Need to worry about me." I try to speak
" Okay, well I need to get back to work. Eat at your own past." She responded and got up from the table.
I try to smile at her, but all I want to do is throw up. I run to the bathroom and throw up the food, I remember what Hakihu told me about us. If we don't throw up the human food we ate then our system gets all messed up. Sometimes our kind dies if we eat too much human food. I calm down and wipe my chin with a towel. I get up and look at myself in the bathroom mirror. I looked the same as always, the nerd I am today. I go out of the bathroom and see Chika looking at me. She looked like she was worried sick for me. I kneel down to her eye level and smiled at her.
" Are you sure you're okay." She asks

| 28-year-old Domine |
The next morning. . . .
I get up early and head out of the building that morning. I get out of the building and run to the diner, Hakihu was cleaning up like always. I walk in and see her face light up. She hugs me and it was a tight one. She lets go of me and stops cleaning.
" So your back." She starts
" Ya, thought you wanted to see me again," I reply.
" Oh, I want you to meet someone." She says and goes behind to a different room.
She comes back but was followed by a middle-aged man. He looked about the age of 47, but then again he could be in his 20's.
" So you're the Kotaka I heard about. The names Domine." He smiles and takes out his left hand.
" Yup, that's me." I smile and hope for the best.
" So you need a job right? Because I need a hard worker like you." Domine started up
" Oh, that's right. I forgot to tell you, silly me." Hakihu laughed
" Sure, it will really help me and my step sister out, thank you," I say and bow my head in respect.
" You don't need to bow son, and your welcome. You start today kid." Domine replied and went back to his room.
I smiled and jumped with happiness, I was going to work, finally. I high-fived Hakihu's hand and hugged her. It was out of the ordinary for me, but I just did it. I looked at the business picture, Hakihu and Domine were the only ones in the picture. They made this diner theirs by the looks of it, on their own. I smile at the picture and see Domine looking at me. I step back a bit and see his face light up. I see his face change, but how? I thought he wasn't one of them. He looks at me and puts both arms out.
" Didn't expect this did you Kotaka." He smirks and smiles at me
" No, I didn't. But I am one too you know. And I think you know that Hakihu is one too." I try to say
" I know kid, were family. But not that close of family. You see I found her on the streets when she was young, her mother wrote a note to me saying to keep her safe." He explained
" Domine has been my new dad now." Hakihu smiled at me.
I looked at Domine, his whole face looked different. Well as a izombie we can do that, change our entire self. Meaning we can change into a different person. I smile at him and see him change back into his human form, I questioned the whole thing. I shook my head a bit and remembered what I was doing there. Domine handed me a apron to wear around my waist, I put it on with anticipation. It was white with a symbol on it, the symbol was easy to remember. It was a heart with two arrows through it, that work black. The heart itself was a light tan color. Hakihu tied it on my back and clapped her hands together. Now I was officially the new employee everyone will be talking about.
" Yup, that's me." I smile and hope for the best.
" So you need a job right? Because I need a hard worker like you." Domine started up
" Oh, that's right. I forgot to tell you, silly me." Hakihu laughed
" Sure, it will really help me and my step sister out, thank you," I say and bow my head in respect.
" You don't need to bow son, and your welcome. You start today kid." Domine replied and went back to his room.
