Chapter one
"Hi Ryou" I called as she came in for work. "Sorry I'm so late" Ryou looked at me strange
"Your not late Lettuce, your early!" he replied and pudding jumped in the door landing on me. Ryou laughed and I blushed embarrassed. Ichigo entered and looked around yawning loudly and stretching.
"Can I take the day off Ryou" she asked loudly "I have a date with Masaya." She finished. Ryou rolled his eyes and nodded.
"The rest of us, that don't have a date are going to look for strange animal behavior. If my hunch is correct their trying to take over all the animals. Zakura go with Pudding and Mint. Lettuce with me. Lets go everyone." Ryou told us irritated.
"yay lets go Zakuro!" called Pudding and Mint stared at Zakuro like she was a god. Zakuro sighed.
"Lettuce I have an idea follow me into the lair please." Ryou called and I followed him obediently. "Lettuce I wanted to tell you something…" A huge crash shook the café and a huge bird grabbed onto the roof pulling it off of the supports and grabbed Ryou by the shoulders. "Lettuce transform!" he yelled and I felt my powers weaken.
"I can't Ryou the bird is doing something to me I cant transform" I wailed as the bird flew away. With Ryou in its evil grasp I ran after the bird until it finally landed near the mill.
"Ryou" I whispered softly holding my pendent tightly in my hand the edges cutting into it. "I'll save you if my life depends on it. I wont give up on my love for you."
"HELP" he yelled
