Ichigo: "Oh man! I'm late for work again! How many times is this going to happen?...Minto is probably going to make me work overtime for this." Frowning, Ichigo ran as fast as she could to the café. When she got there, everyone was sort of anxious looking, and as she started to make excuses for her tardiness, Minto looked at her. "Ichigo, Keichiro has an announcement." Ichigo paused and thought for a brief second, and grew angry. "It's the aliens again, isn't it?" She rather growled thinking of Pai, Taruto and that annoying Kisshu. She had had just about enough of his constant taunting and flirting with her. "No, not at all!" exclaimed Keichiro, "It's got nothing to do with them!" he said shockingly happily. Ichigo stared "Then what is it?" "Yea, Akasaka-san, tell us!" exclaimed Pudding, quite impatiently. "All right, all right. My little niece, Sugara, is moving down here all the way from the other end of Japan! And on her birth day, too!" "What? You have a niece?" asked Lettuce, and then so many questions were blurted out by the girls, "When is she getting here?" "Is she pretty?" "How old is she?" "Is she nice?"
Well the story pretty much goes like this. Akasaka-san had a sister, whom he loved very much. One year, after she married and had her child, she got into a car wreck and died. This was when Sugara was only 2 years of age. Her father then became depressed, and shortly after her mothers' funeral, he committed suicide. Sugara was then left into the care of her grandparents. Akasaka-san got very upset over his sisters passing, and now Sugara was the only thing left he had of her. He rarely got to see her though; because of their long living distance they only saw each other on Christmas and a couple of birthdays. It was for these reasons that Akasaka-san was very protective of her, and they were very close. But he was even more excited because of the fact that she would be moving in with him, and he would be her permanent guardian.
"…Wow, um…that's a…sad story." Ichigo thought out loud as she thought about what she just heard. She had already changed into her work uniform. "Jeez Akasaka-san. I'm sorry to hear that." Minto shuddered. With tears already building up, Pudding stammered "To tell such a sad story and still smile afterwards is really weird, na-no-da." Ryou just looked up and stated plainly that is was because of her not being able to come last Christmas, and it's been a while. "To tell the truth, I'm kind of exited to see her too." He said while leaning casually on the wall. Akasaka-san smiled and started to speak. "Yep, and she should be here at—"There was a knock at the door. "She's here!" he exclaimed and rushed to the door.
