Chii: Nope. I was just telling mint how you two fall for each other.

...

I'm home again...

Ichigo lightly put her hand against the car window, watching the familiar places pass her by.

I can't believe it's been a year. She thought to herself. Ichigo had transferred back to London after helping Berry and the other mews conquer the Saint Rose Crusaders. She willingly followed Masaya back to England. But now..

Flashback

"Ichigo...Ichigo!!"

"Oh...Sorry. What is it? "She said not looking up. She was far to Hypnotised by the ring he hadgiven her.

"You're spacing out again." He said, walking over to the window. "We need to talk."

The seriousness of His tone made her flinch, what could be so important? "Sure!" She said, In her best 'happy-go' voice.

"I want you to go back."



"Back? It's okay! Leah and Kay won't mind! I told them everything!"

"No. Not back to the twins. Back to Tokyo." He looked down (apparently his feet are more interesting to look at...-.-)

"To Tokyo.. Masaya... are you breaking up with me?"

"No...Well, in a way yes. I can tell you're not happy here and i can't pay for you to be here much longer."

"But, Masaya! I thought you loved me..-" Ichigo cried, tears brimming in her eyes.

"I do! That's why... that's why."

End flash back

Why!! Why Masaya!

"Eh... miss, we've arrived." The driver notices the state she's now in. "And forget about the money, "

"What? Thank you sir! I do have enough though!"

"Never mind that. Go before I change my mind."

"Arigato! Sayonara!" She said, cheering up a considerable amount. There it was, the place she'd been longing to visit since she got off the plane. Its pinkness greeted her like an old friend. Inside, Ichigo heard recognizable voice whispering.

"Ichigo oneesama's back (Na no da!)"

"Pudding! Please be quiet! She's coming in!" said another whilst she entered the door. A big 'Welcome home' Banner hung in front of her!

"Ichigo!!" They all shouted, bar ryou and zakuro, both of them smirking.

"Guys! I've missed you so much!! Lettuce! You're not wearing glasses!?"

Retsau (sp) blushed. "She followed my superior advice and got contact lenses. Hurry up Ichigo! My afternoon tea is getting cold!" Mint said, almost as if she was proud. Heh, not like she already is. Ichigo ran over to Mint and glomped her. After a year she thought everyone would have changes. Yes, Pudding had grown – a 'real' teenager at the age of 10, but no one, even Zakuro had changed personality wise in the slightest.

"Right then. Back to work" Ryou stood there, expressionless. So far, he was the only one not 'totally amazed' to see Ichigo.

"You could be nice to me for a second Shirogane!" Ichigo fumed.



"Okay. Could you please shut your mouth and get changed."

"You hate me so much don't you!!" Ryou coughed. Then trailed upstairs. Asaka-san came over. "What's wrong with him!?" she asked him.

"He's received some news about someone in his family. Please excuse him."

Ichigo stopped in her tracks. I thought all his family were dead. Man! How does he always make me feel bad? She thought, walking into the changing rooms. I should go apologize.
She walked back in the main cafe. All sympathy disappeared as a flying newspaper whacked her on the head.

"RYOUUUU!"

"What took you so long? We do have customers you know!"

"I'm not the only waitress!"

"Mint is on her break. Zakuro's disappeared, Pudding's... pudding and lettuce is too busy washing up."

"And Berry!? Tasuki?!"

"On holiday." He said, smirking yet again. A scream followed this. He is way too lenient on those two! I've been here, was here for two years and the jerk ever gave me time off! "You love me really..."
Ichigo scoffed. Like she could ever love a rich kid who always got his own way. Especially one who had just threw something at her. But the ditzy red-head still blushed. Ryou laughed and walked away. NYA! He makes me so... She fumed for the rest of the day, plotting various plans to get revenge on the all-too-aggravating boss.

From the other side of the room, the same Ryou smiled, watching her. He thought:

Back to normal.

...

Chii: Yes, a short chappy i know. I can't stand them short but its only the beginning.

Kish: Hang on! Where am i in this!?

Chii: well. Are you a mew mew? yu will be in later chapters.

Kish: With Ichigo?

Chii: Of course! Review please guys!! Thankyou to all who will! Byee!
