"RYOOOOOOOOUUU!!" Ichigo yelled as she walked up the stairs, and slammed open the door, it was the last day of work before they had their christmas break, and Ichigo was going to beg to get a raise. "ACK! Put a...shirt..." Her voice dropped from the yell she was accustomed to used whenever she entered her boss' room down to silence as she stood looking at Ryou staring blanky out of a window.
"..."
"Hey Ryou, you there?" Ichigo walked up to the window and waved her hand in front of his eyes, snapping him out of his day dream.
"Hmmm?" The blonde turned to look at Ichigo.
"..." Now it was Ichigo staring out the window blankly, the blonde sighed.
"What is it Baka?"
"I AM NOT A BAKA!" Ichigo snapped back at Ryou. "But...snow is so hypnotising isn't it?"
"That doesn't answer my question."
"I...I've forgotten now damnit!!" The cat-girl turned around and walked out the room, down the stairs, and out the Café, into the snow covered park, the area around the Café was hardly touched, apart from where the queues were. Ichigo shrugged and went to an area to the side of the Café, figuring that her parents wouldn't mind if she was late, and began shaping the snow.
"..What's that baka doing now?" Ryou looked out his window, not seeing her clearly, he put on a jacket and went outside.
"Ribon wo musunde, waratte mitara..." Ichigo sung quietly as she worked with the snow.
"Cold out here," Ichigo's cat ears popped up as the blonde spoke from behind her.
"GEEZ RYOU! You scared me!"
"That, is obvious." He gestured to the girl's cat ears and tail.
"Nya!" The girl crouched down as if trying to curl into a ball but secretly...
-Foomph-
"NYAHAH!" Ichigo pointed and laughed at Ryou, who had just been hit by her snowball.
"Oh yeah?"
-Foomph-
"Nya!" Ichigo was now covered in snow aswell.
Keiichiro looked out the kitchen window at the cat girl and her boss, they were laughing and grinning as snowballs flew through the air. Keiichiro smiled softly, it had been a long time since he had seen Ryou actually enjoying himself so much.
The two continued, the large heart, made of snow that Ichigo had been making, had only one letter of the message that Ichigo had been writing 'R'.
