A holiday for free
1 year after the final battle
Ryou came down stairs with a grin on his face. He cleared his throat to grab ever ones attention and announced "girls after this week the café will be closed for 2 weeks because…with your parent's permission, I'm taking the entire staff of café mew mew on a luxury cruise for a whole 2 weeks"
Ichigo stopped sweeping let the broom fall to the ground with a clatter - she ran over to him and grabbed his arms "if this is a joke its not funny" she growled through her teeth but Ryou was calm he placed his hands on her shoulders "its not a joke and I have the tickets to prove it" Ryou took seven tickets from his pocket and handed one to Ichigo. She looked at the ticket then at Ryou and hugged him, squeezing the life out of him.
Ichigo ran home throwing the door open kicking her shoes off and running to the kitchen where her mum and dad where waiting for her "mum - dad Ryou is taking the whole staff of the café on a cruise can I go please" Ichigo sat at the table with pleading eyes at her mother
"Of course you can go as long as your father agrees" Ichigo's hope sank there was no way in hell would her father let her go on a 2 week cruise with a boy let alone her boss. Ichigo's father looked up from the book he was reading "when is this trip"
"In a week" Ichigo's eyes looked down at the floor "Are there any boys on this trip" her father was in a bad mood
"Y…yes but Ryou is my boss and Wesley is like 23" Ichigo smiled sweetly at he father he looked up and smiled "of course you can go"
