Chapter 1: Who is she?

Ichigo's POV

A still sleeping Ichigo was laying in her bed, its was 7:30am in the morning and mother called her 3 times already to wake up. She look at her alarm clock "Ooh my gosh I cant believe I 'm going to be late again!…Well its not really something new either I should be use to it by now." Ichigo thought falling half out of bed and hits her head hard against the bedside table. "Dammit that hurts!" She quickly got dresses and rushes out of the house with a muffin in the one hand.

'Great I made it, only 10min late but its still late enough to get yelled at for, ughh...that jerk would it kill the guy to be a little nicer once in awhile!'

Ryou is sitting in one of the café chairs, hand behind his head, eyes close. "Glade miss clumsy could join us, your late as always, get to work."

Ichigo's fce redden visibly "Who are you calling clumsy you big jerk!"

Ryou only open one eye stands up and flick her nose. "Do you see anybody else that's always late that I'm talking to Baka strawberry, now get to work!" with that he headed up the stairs leaving Ichigo's face even redder with boiling anger.

"I hate that guy! He's always a jerk!"

"Can you blame him if I were him I would make you work over time for the hours you are late" Mint was sitting inher regula position with a amused smile on her face.

Ichigo turns to face Mint "Says miss I-RAISE-MY-HANDS FOR NOTHING EXEPT TEA"

"Well with you around I don't need too" They were now glaring at each other.

"That's it I had it…"

"Now come on Ichigo, calm down, you know her by now..." Lettuce tried to cool down the heat between the two.

"Sometimes I wished I hadn't. Pudding watch out!" But it was too late she was coming out of the kitchen and bumped over Lettuce, glass shattered everywhere. Could this day get any worse?

Ryou's POV

He was sitting on he's bedstaring out of the window, a smirk on his face, That girl I cant get her out of my head. His smirk fades when he remembers the dream he had again this morning and for the past few days;

Ryou's dream

It was dark and raining in the park, he was standing on a bridge it looked awkwardly familiar. He saw a figure standing in front him on the rail,he wanted to asked what the person was doing but his voice left him. Suddenly he saw the figure jump,it was a girl but he couldn't see her face although he felt like he knows her, out of impulse he jump after her and then the image change into guy but he still couldn't see who it was, he just kept falling deeper into darkness but he never reach the bottom then Ichigo's face would flash in front but every time he would wake before he could see what happened.

Back to Reality

This dream makes him think of something similar that happened in his past only it didn't happened to Ichigo but to Crystal who he haven't seen in years. I wonder how she's doing now ?

Ichigo's POV

Later that day a girl with brownish/blonde hair entered the café, I was walking towards her when Lettuce tripped and bumped into Ryou, who was standing with a glass of orange juice in his hands and spilled it accidentally over the girls skirt. Ichigo kinda expected an out burst but it didn't happen she was just staring at the spot and then started wiping it off with a napkin Lettuce brought over. Lettuce on the other hand started apologizing like mad. Ryou looked to see what damage was done and helped Lettuce clean up. The girl finally looked up so everyone could see her face.

For a weird moment Ryou look shocked when he saw the girls face, not at all him, coming to his senses his expresions changed to a questioning look"Crystal is it you?"

"Ryou I haven't see you u for years…"

The girl was surprised, her face darkens for a split second but then suddenly smiled. Ichigo have only notice now that the girl was rather pretty everything especially the girls smile stood out above all. When she smiled her green eyes with a mixture of brown had little stars in it that make you think she have never had sadness in her life, she was tall and slender about my age and how can I miss stylish. How did Ryou know her? Wait why do I even care but she gets the better half of him he actually apolizised.Whats this sudden change in his attitude he never treats one of us like that. How does she now Ryou? Suddenly she snapped out of her thoughts when she spoke again.

"Oh look at the time I must go."

"Wait, will you please stop by later?"

Crystal's face darkens again, "Can't promise that for tonight but I'll try."

Ryou hugged her quickly goodbye and then again that smile of hers which he returns with a smile Ichigo have rarely seen before it's was a real smile and not to mention gorgeous.

But when we wanted to ask Ryou about her he was already half way up to his room.

Lettuce had a thoughtfull look on her face "Who was that girl?"

"I really don't know, never seen her before." keiichiro replied with a confused look.

"Na no da Ryou has a girlfriend!" Pudding remarked while jumping on the tables

Ichigo shrugged at that comment she never really thought about Ryou having a girlfriend? I feel pity for her if that's the case but she can't be, can she?

So what did you think? Review pleaze...
