Chapter 1
It was a nice beautiful day in Tokyo. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping. All was peaceful, except for Cafe Mew Mew.
"You are such a jerk Shirogane-San!" yelled Ichigo.
The red haired girl was having another fight with her boss Ryou.
"Well, if you could be a better employee, maybe I wouldn't have to yell at you all the time!" retorted Ryou.
"Will you guys just knock it off!" said Minto. "I'm trying to have my afternoon tea!"
Ichigo walked over to Minto, fuming. Ichigo grabbed Minto's tea cup and tossed it on the ground which resulted in tea and broken shards of glass to fly everywhere.
"Hey! That cup cost me a lot of money!" yelled Minto. "You'd better pay for it!"
"Oh, suck it up! You can buy another one!" cried Ichigo.
"Come on now guys. Let's just get back to work." said Lettuce.
"Fine, whatever!" said Ichigo.
Ryou headed to the his room and Ichigo headed to the kitchen to do the dishes. Zakuro was helping Keiichiro make desserts.
"Hi Keiichiro. Hey Zakuro. Oh something smells good! What are you cooking?" asked Ichigo.
"Strawberry Tarts." replied Keiichiro.
"Mmm. Sounds good!" said Ichigo.
"They are good. Nice and sweet." said Keiichiro.
"Cool. Tell me when they get done. I want some." said Ichigo as she walked over to the sink.
"Of course." Keiichiro walked over to a cabinet and attempted to get something out of it but then stopped.
"What is it?" asked Ichigo.
"I seem to have left my timer in Ryou's room. Could you go get it for me?" asked Keiichiro.
"Sure." Ichigo walked out of the kitchen and began making her way to Ryou's room on the second floor.
With Keiichiro and Zakuro
"Keiichiro?"
"Yes Zakuro?"
"Your timer's over there." said Zakuro as she pointed towards the counter adjacent to her.
"I know."
Zakuro smiled.
With Ichigo and Ryou
When Ichigo reached Ryou's room she knocked on the door.
"Ryou? I need to get Keiichiro's timer. He said he left it in there."
No response.
"Ryou? I really need to get Keiichiro's timer."
Still no response.
"Ryou?"
Ichigo opened the door and walked inside.
"Ryou?"
The room was empty.
"Ryou! Hey Ryou! Where are you?"
A ruffle of the curtains caught her attention. Ryou's window was open.
'Oh no.' thought Ichigo.
She walked over to the window and looked down.
"OH MY GOD! RYOU!"
On the ground two stories below the window lie Ryou, unconscious.
"KEIICHIRO! GET UP HERE QUICK!"
The sound of footsteps on the stairs grew louder as they got closer. Keiichiro and Zakuro appeared in the doorway.
"Ichigo, whats wrong!" cried Keiichiro.
"It's Ryou!" Ichigo pointed towards the window.
Keiichiro walked over to the window and looked down. Somehow he managed to keep his calm as he turned around and told Zakuro to call for an ambulance and tell the others what had happened.. Keiichiro turned towards Ichigo who was sitting on Ryou's bed close to tears.
"Ichigo. Come on. Let's get down there." said Keiichiro softly.
When Ichigo didn't move from the bed Keiichiro walked over to her. He grabbed her hand and gently pulled her up.
"Come on. He'll be ok. We need to go down there."
Ichigo nodded her head and followed Keiichiro down the stairs and outside to where Ryou's body was lying, only stopping once so Keiichiro could tell Zakuro to stay here with the others. When she saw Ryou up close the tears that she had been trying to hold back were now overflowing and falling down her cheeks. She hastily wiped them away. Keiichiro checked Ryou's vital signs to make sure he was still alive. He turned to her once he was finished.
"Don't worry. He's alive, but I can't tell if he has any broken bones. That's the doctor's job."
Ichigo sighed in relief not realizing that she had been holding her breath the entire time.
"I'm going to go wait for the ambulance." said Keiichiro.
Ichigo nodded her head.
"Will you be ok here?" he asked.
"Yea." responded Ichigo, her voice shaky.
Keiichiro hugged her and then headed to the front of the cafe. Ichigo knelt down next to Ryou's body and took his hand.
"Ryou." she said her voice still shaky as more tears spilled over.
After a minute or so she could hear the faint sound of sirens.
'They're almost here.' thought Ichigo with relief.
She looked at Ryou and smiled, trying to reassure herself.
'He's going to be ok. He's going to be ok.'
The sirens grew in volume and then stopped. She heard faint voices coming from the front.
"Ichigo. The paramedics are here. Come over here and let them do their job." said Keiichiro.
Ichigo let go of Ryou's hand and walked over to Keiichiro. She watched as the paramedics checked Ryou's vital signs just like Keiichiro had done earlier. When they finished with that they put him on a stretcher and put him into an ambulance.
"Are you two going to ride in the ambulance?" asked one of the paramedics.
"Yes." Keiichiro grabbed Ichigo's hand and led her towards the ambulance.
She climbed in and sat down in an uncomfortable seat next to the stretcher. Keiichiro sat on the other side of the stretcher. Ichigo laid her head down next to Ryou's unmoving hand.
"I'm so tired now." said Ichigo.
"You should sleep. It'll be a while before we arrive at the hospital." replied Keiichiro.
"Good idea."
Ichigo slowly closed her eyes and drifted off into a relaxing sleep.
She found herself in a graveyard surrounded in darkness. Somewhere in the distance she heard crying.
"Who's there?" she asked.
She began to walk towards the sound. The crying got louder and louder until she saw a small boy kneeling over a grave.
'That boy kind of looks like Ryou.' thought Ichigo.
"Ichigo." said a faint voice.
She looked around. Nothing.
"Ichigo!" said the voice again.
Still nothing.
"ICHIGO!" cried the voice.
"Hmm?"
"Ichigo, we're here." said Keiichiro.
"Oh right." Ichigo stood up and followed Keiichiro into the hospital.
Ichigo POV (I hate writing in third person)
The doctors took Ryou back to examine him which took about thirty minutes.
"Mr. Shirogane has suffered a minor concussion and a few broken bones. I'm surprised that's all he suffered. From what the paramedics said he fell two stories. Usually with cases like that you have at least ten broken bones. Mr. Shirogane only had four. We're going to keep him overnight to monitor him, but with the way things are going he should be ready to leave in about an hour." explained the doctor.
"Thank you." said Keiichiro.
"Of course. Visiting hours are over right now, but you can come see Mr. Shirogane first thing tomorrow morning."
"Good." I said.
I was so relieved that Ryou was ok. Keiichiro called Zakuro to come pick us up and take us back to the cafe.
"Keiichiro I'm going home." I said when we arrived at the cafe.
"Do you want a lift home?" he asked.
"No. I want to walk. I need some fresh air. I've been in closed spaces far to long." I replied.
"Well ok. If you need anything don't hesitate to call."
"Ok. Thanks Keiichiro!"
