Author's Note: I only made this because I was bored.. I will update time to time... I made this in the middle of the night, but I updated this in the morning... I'm sleepy.
~Ichigo's POV~
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S OVER?!" shouted my boyfrie---- ummm... ex- boyfriend. My cats ears nearly popped out.
"It's over... get it now?" I said it more slowly.
"Babe, lets be rational about this... I'm the best boyfriend you could ever have." Masaya (GAH!!) said.
'Babe?... When did he come up with that?'
I crossed my arms, "Somehow for the past few days..er... weeks you haven't exactly been the best boyfriend."
"W-what?" He asked me. I gave him the look that said, 'Do you think I'm really that stupid not to know?'
"Let's see... Taking that girl name Akiko on a date; kissing Hisa; Making out with the new girl in our class, after school; and you are becoming a bastard, you care more about you popularity now." I said listing some of the things he has done behind my back.
"W-well you s-see..." He stuttered... he is guilty.
"As I said.... It's over." I turned my back on him.
"OI!!.. WAIT!!... ahh who cares there are more hot girls out there than you!" He shouted back to me as I walk away.
"Bastard." I muttered under my breath.
When I was sure that I was completely away from him... I then....

"YES! I'M FINALLY FREE, I'M SINGLE AGAIN!! YES!" I shouted. You never know how long I've been wanting to do that. I started to walk toward the cafe I work at, happily. 'I'm sooo going to burn this bell he gave to me.'
~Normal POV~
Ichigo thinks that no one had heard her shout that... oh how wrong she was.
'Never expected her to be so happy.' the thought person that had heard her.
~Ryou's POV~
I'm walking to the cafe... I took a walk just to clear my head, but found strawberry shouting in the park.
-Flashback-
'Hmm.. I wonder what strawberry had to do so important, just to be late for work.' I though to myself.
"OI!!.. WAIT!!... ahh who cares there are more hot girls out there than you!" I heard someone shout... 'that sounded like that bastard strawberry likes.'
... A few seconds later I saw Ichi--- i mean Strawberry walking and she stopped, and then "YES! I'M FINALLY FREE, I'M SINGLE AGAIN!! YES!" I heard her shout.. I chuckled
'Never expected her to be so happy.'
-End Flashback-
I laughed at the memory. Seeing Strawberry jump around being happy that she broke up with Aoyoma.
I entered the cafe and found Ichigo (who just came out of the dressing room), Mint (who was drinking tea), Pudding (who was entertain the customer and serving some of them), Lettuce (who just accidentally dropped the tray), and Zakuro (being silent as always). We have a lot of customers today.. of course it's a weekend after all.
~Mint's POV~
'Hmm... Ichigo's so happy today... I wonder why.' I thought to myself as I drink my tea.
~Lettuce's POV~
'Ichigo-chan was so happy when she arrived... does she have another date with Aoyoma-kun?' I thought to myself, then accidentally tripping. "ow"
~Zakuro's POV~
"Keiichiro-san, have you noticed that Ichigo has been so happy when she arrived?" I asked.
"Hmm.. in fact I do, I wonder what got her so happy." Keiichiro replied.
Then we both looked at the cafe doors as it opened, Ryou entered. He was smirking, for some reason.
"What's got him happy?" I asked Keiichiro calmly,
"I don't know." He answered.
'It's odd... Ichigo comes to the cafe happy for no reason, and then Shirogane.... strange.' I thought. Then serving the customers once again.
~Ichigo's POV~
Okay... so far my so-called happy day became 'I'm pissed off' day, because I'm the only one that pretty much do all the work... AND i need a freaking raise.
After he cafe closed I had to stay, since I was late, this morning. 'DAMMIT SHIROGANE!!'
I marched up to Ry-- er Shirogane's room, and knocked. (WOW) He opened the door, "Yes?"
"Shirogane, for once can you please just give me raise?" I asked calmly as possible. He raised one of his eyebrows. 'Now that's something Strawberry won't do everyday.'
".... Fine...." He replied, using the same tone I used.
"You mean it?"
"Yes."
awkward silence
"So... bye Shirogane, thanks for the raise." I unconsciously kissed him on the cheek.
"Don't be late for work tomorrow baka," He said. 'Back to his old self already?'
"I won't.... jerk." I said using one of the nicknames I have given him.

~Ryou's POV~
When Strawberry left, my hand went to my cheek, 'She kissed me.' Strawberry sure is full of surprises.
'~'~'~'~'Next Day'~'~'~'~'
~Normal POV~
Ichigo came earlier than the other Mews, really cafe opens at 9 a.m.(It's the weekend) but she arrived at 7:50. Why? 'Cause she couldn't sleep after all the things that happened that day before. So when she woke up, she got ready and walked to the cafe. She found Keiichiro in the kitchen baking... and also making breakfast.
~Ichigo's POV~
"Hello Keiichiro." She greeted. Keiichiro looked in surprise.
"Oh.. hello Ichigo, you're here quite early." He replied.
"I woke up early, so I just decided to come here."
".... Would you call Ryou and tell him breakfast is ready?" He asked me.
"O-okay." I walked upstairs to Shirogane's room, and knocked like what I did last night.
I heard Shirogane reply, "Keiichiro give me five more minutes"."
"Unfortunately, I'm not Keiichiro." I replied... that must have gotten his attention because a few seconds later, Shirogane opened his door.
"Strawberry?"
"Is there any other person who has red hair than me?" I asked, joking.
".... your mom and yourself, that's all I know." He replied.
"Keiichiro said breakfast is ready."
"Tell him I'll be right there." Then he closed the door once more, and I walked down stairs. Keiichiro looked at me.
"Ichigo, would you mind joining us for breakfast?" Keiichiro asked.
"No I don't mind." I replied then taking a seat.
---Time skip (after breakfast, 8:10 am)
~Ryou's POV~
Strawberry and I were in my room, just talking (wow that's there first time talking to each other without yelling.. well other than last night)
"May I ask why you are here so early?" I asked Strawberry. I was playing on my computer while she was laying down on the bed.
"I woke up early, I got bored, so I decided to come to the cafe." She replied.
"Oh... where's your bell?" I said.
"I burned it, last night."
"May I ask why?"
"Broke up with Aoyoma, the bastard."
"Is that why you were shouting 'I'm finally free, I'm single again!' yesterday at the park?"
She looked at me, I laughed. "Y-you saw that."
"I did... wish I caught it on tape." She started to laugh with me.
"Want to go to the mall to kill some time?" I asked her, as I turn my computer off.
"I guess.."
~Ichigo's POV~
"Ne Shirogane, why are you being nice to me now?" I asked. He was driving.
"I have always been nice.... it's just fun to tease you." he admitted
I raised my eyebrow at him, "Really?"
"Really."He said looking at me the back at the road.
When we arrived at the mall, the pet store caught my eye and walked toward it with Shirogane following me. All I could say was KAWAII~!!... A cat that looked like a combination of both me and Shirogane's cat form. It had green eyes (Alto has green eyes, right?... I forgot) gray fur, the end of the tail was black and it's paws was black.
"Ne ne, Ry-- I mean Shirogane, that looks likes the combination of me and you in our cat form." I whispered to him, he stared at it, "It does.. oh and by the way, can you start calling me Ryou now?"
"Fine.... Ryou."
I played with the little kitty and with my cat genes, I was able to understand what the cat was telling me.
"I wish you were my owner ~nya" that cat said.
"Me too." I replied.
"Strawberry, the cafe opens in 20 minutes." I heard Ryou tell me.
"Aww.. I wanted to play with kitty more." I said, childishly. "Bye Neko-chan... okay let's go Ryou."
I walked out of the store but found that Ryou was not following me, instead he was talking to the guy at the cashier at the pet store. I sat at the bench. I waited... the when Ryou came out of the store I saw a bundle in his arms.
"Are you trying to steal her?"
"No, Baka.. I bought her....Early Happy Birthday present for you." Ryou replied.
"You know when my birthday is.... oh right our bios you have them."
-- In Ryou's car --
"What should I name you..hmm.. how about Eri?" The cat meowed happily.
"I like it ~nya."
"Eri... Shirogane, Shirogane for your last name."
"Ohh.. I get a last name too.~Nya"
"Hey Strawberry, why my last name?" Shirogne asked me, while smirking.
""Well, you bought her."
"I... never knew Strawberry has a heart." He said as he parked the car behind the cafe. I playful punch him at the shoulder, "What's that suppose to mean, Ryou?"
"I was kidding, baka." I pouted.
"Are you two married or something?~nya?" Eri said, still in my arms. (I do not own this scene because it sounds familiar like I've read it in another story or something... hmm *tries to remember* Ryou: Don't hurt yourself while doing that)
"N-no!" I said quickly, too quickly. I blushed. He smirked, because my cat ears and tail came out. 'Ichigo get a hold of yourself, you just broke up with Aoyoma and now your thinking of your boss.'
"Ya should act like one~nya."
"Ne.. Ryou take care of Eri okay.. I'm going to change." I placed Eri into Ryou's arms.
"What no good bye kiss for your 'husband'? " Ryou teased. "OH shut up, you jerk!"
Then ran inside the cafe to the dressing room... Zakuro and Lettuce was already there.
"Ichigo-chan you're here early." Lettuce said, putting on her waitress uniform.
"Ya."
~Mint's POV~
When I arrived, I found Ichigo already there, "Wow Ichigo, you're here early... is the world ending."
"Shut up Mint!"
Two minutes later Pudding came.
"Hello Everyone, no na da~!!" She said, cheerfully, "Ichigo-nee-chan you're here early~!!" Pudding shouted then hugged Ichigo.
"G'morning Pudding-chan~!" Ichigo said to her.
----- *Time Skip* ----- After work
Ichigo ,once again, stay in the cafe after work. She came to Ryou's room and played with Eri.
"Wow, that's so COOL" Eri said, after Ryou and Ichigo explained to her about the Mew Mews and the Aliens. While Ichigo was working, Ryou managed to make a collar that enables Eri to talk with human words coming out of her mouth.
Time passed by quickly without the three knowing.. when they all looked at the clock it was "... 11:40 p.m."
"That late already.. I didn't even noticed." Ryou said.
"Can I say... I'm parents are not home, until tomorrow, I don't want to be alone." Ichigo said, with Eri sleeping next to her. Even though Masaya and her broke up, Ichigo is still afraid that he might try to get her back.
Ryou nodded. Ichigo did stay for the night.
~Morning~
In the morning, Keiichiro, as usual, calls Ryou for breakfast but found an interesting scene in front of him.... Once he had opened the Ryou's door, he found Ryou, Ichigo, and a.... cat 'i didn't know Ryou owned a cat' all together sleeping on the bed.
'Hmm.. Ichigo stay for the night?' Keiichiro thought to himself. he continued watching, then the cat woke up. and started to wake up both Ryou and Ichigo. He closed the door and went downstairs.
"~Nya... wake up!" Eri said.
"Eri... what time is it?" Ichigo mumbled on Ryou chest. She was snuggling onto Ryou and Ryou had his arms around her waist.
"Uhh.... 7:30."
Silence
Ichigo suddenly sat up, making Ryou fall off the bed. "Shit I have school today!"
"Strawberry, what the hell?" Ryou said, yawning. He was half awake.
"Ryou I have school today... can I use the bathroom?" Ichigo asked.
"Hmm, Ya ya."
Ryou gave Ichigo a ride to school. Then, Ichigo pecked Ryou on the cheek, "Thanks Ryou." As soon as Ichigo entered her classroom, her friends Miwa and Moe bombarded with questions like : "Is it true you broke up with Aoyoma?" "Who was that cute guy that dropped you off?" "Are you and that cute guy dating?"
Ichigo answered the question with a "Yes." "Ryou, my boss." "Me and Ryou aren't dating." 'Though i wish we were...NO NO NO bad thoughts Ichigo.'
--Afterschool--
Ichigo got out of the school building, then found Ryou waiting by the gates... and some of the girls that go to her school are completely lovestruck by him. Out of the corner of her eyes she saw Masaya heading towards her, so she ran towards Ryou. "Ryou!" the reply she got was ,"Strawberry."
Ryou saw Masaya heading towards his Strawberry (Ryou: I heard that, you baka author. Naruko(me): Oh shush, you'll ruin the moment.) He glared at him. Ichigo was running towards him then she pecked him on the cheek (Ryou: that's the second time?.... second time this day). Then got into the car, leaving the angry bastard behind.
Once in the car Ryou asked, "May I ask what was the kiss for?"
"To make the bastard angry." Ryou chuckled.
Eri..... Eri was sitting quietly on the back seat, trying not to ruin the conversation between the two. (Naruko: see Eri's nice, unlike you. You always ruin the moment. Ryou: I do not!)
Once they arrived at Ichigo's house. Ryou escorted Ichigo to the doorway (Naruko(me): *sarcastically* For once you're a gentleman. Ryou: What's that suppose to mean, BAKA?! Naruko: Hey I only allow on person to call me that! -continue in the end of the chapter-)
"Thank for the company.. yesterday and today." Ichigo said looking at Ryou.
"Anytime... bye Ichi." Ryou said, then quickly kissed Ichigo on the lips, then left.
'he called me Ichi... and he kissed me.' Ichigo's face turned red, Her cats ears and tail came out once again.
Ichigo came into her home and her mom started babbling stuff like: "Who was that cute boy?" "He's is quite handsome." and lastly, "Is he going to be my future son-in-law?" Ichigo blushed at that. "M-mom he is my boss, Ryou, and he is not my boyfriend!" Ichigo walked to her bedroom, blushing furiously, with Eri following closely behind.
Ichigo's mom, Sakura, was left there in her thoughts, 'That young boy looks familiar.'
Then Sakura remembered, her best friend, Hana, and Hana's husband, Akira......Shirogane.
Akira Shirogane... looked just like the boy that dropped Ichigo off.
'It can't be the Ryou me and my husband know.. can it?...Oh my lord Ichigo will feak out.' Sakura thought to her self
SO ya.. I got bored then made this fanfic for no reason... I will update time to time if I can ('cause I have another fanfic i'm making)
So here that continuation when Ryou escorted Ichigo to the door step.
Naruko(me): *sarcastically* For once you're a gentleman
Ryou: What's that suppose to mean, BAKA?!
Naruko: Hey I only allow one person to call me that.
Ryou: Oh yes.. your precious Sas---!!
Naruko: *has her hand on ryou's mouth* Shut up don't let my brother hear you!
Naruto: Hey Naruko!!
Naruko: H-Hello Onii-chan........ REVIEW~!!!
