It was a night of Sunday and possibility of a heavy rainfall. On the road was running a young college girl Kagome. Even thou it was a very bad time to come out side, she couldn't help to visit her favorite sweet shop. When entering, she was welcome with the familiar shop owner Katsumi.
"Hello Kagome." Katsumi greeted her. "Never has hope that you would be visiting this store today."
"Eh!hehehehe! Well I couldn't control my sweet tooth!" Kagome said with goofy smile while scratching back of her head.
"Even in this bad weather?" Asked Katsumi with wide eye. "I thought I was going to close my shop for this bad season."
"Don't worry. I have umbrella with me. So what was the fresh item for today?" Kagome asked while observing the cakes on the glass freezer.
"Hmmm… Today we had fresh Strawberry Shortcake. They were made this morning so they are very fresh. Nobody came to shop today because of the bad weather. So you are very lucky." Said Katsumi while smiling.
"Wahh! Really? I love Strawberry Shortcake! Can I have some of these?" The shop owner smiled at Kagome's excitement. Her clumsiness reminded her another young daily customer although he bought cakes because his dear love likes it.
"Sure Kagome! How many would you like?"
"Lets see! Five please." Kagome jumped excitedly.
"Ok let me pack it." Katsumi smiled and started to pack the sweets.
To both their surprise droplets of rain started to fall. Soon it became as heavy and fast as shower. The rode became foggy and became as dark as nighttime.
"Oh no! It's too much! I will get soaked even with my umbrella." Kagome said while panicking.
" Don't worry Kagome. Why don't we have some coffee and wait for the rain to stop?" Katsumi offered.
"Guess that has to do. Thanks Katsumi." Kagome smiled.
"No problem Kagome." Katsumi smiled and handed Kagome a cups of coffee.
Katsumi and Kagome were both waiting for rain to cool down. To pass the time they were having coffee and were having mild talk. However, their time ended when a man entered the store.
Kagome looked at the man in awe. He was very tall, at least five feet ten inches. He was heavy muscular, and his skin was pale. His hair was blonde indicating he might be a foreigner and his eyes…. God! His eyes were sharp golden, which felt it could look through your soul. He was none other than her favorite novelist Eiri Yuki! She has seen him many times on T.V. or in book singing. But when she meet him face to face like that, he looked very familiar. She felt that she had known him for sometime.
"OH my! Eiri San! What a pleasant surprise!" Kagome's thought were disturbed my Katsumi's voice. "You came after one week? Where is Shindou kun?"
Katsumi rained him with question.
"Hello to you too Katsumi. I didn't come because I had deadline to do and Shuichi is not here because he has fever."
"Oh my! Hope he gets better soon I'm missing him already. Would want me to pack some Strawberry Shortcake and Strawberry Pochy for him?"
"Yes that's why I came here. Please pack me 10 box of Pochy and 20 cakes."
"Ok. I'm packing"
While they were having conversation Kagome was staring at the novelist intently. They way he talked, the way his muscle moved with every speech, attracted her. His beauty was beyond imaginable. A person like him cannot possibly be a human. She flinched when felt his eyes met with hers. He moved his head with a gruff as if something angered him. Then again he controlled his face and made previous calm expression.
"Alright Katsumi, here is your bill. Thanks." He said with while taking the bundle.
"No problem Eiri san. I hope Sindou Kun gets well soon."
He swayed his hand and left the store.
