Authors note: Sorry this came a little late. I haven't been on fanfiction for a while due to school work and end of the year exams. But school ended Tuesday for us so I'm pretty happy. And to celerbrate I decided to start that sequal I said I'd do. So here it is and hope you enjoy! This chapter is going to be a little short though.

Back Again

By: Beloved Kitten

Chapter one: Welcome back

The sun was shinning, the weather was great, the breeze just right, and there was no work. No busting tables. No studying. No chores. No aliens….then why was I having such a bad day? And I'm struggling to enjoy my slushy! O and there's a sobbing girl beside me on the park bench while I set gazing out at the lovely view but not having the chance of appreciating it…Oh yeah…my slushy is melting.

"I…can't…believe…this!" Miwa gasped through wails leaning over with her head tucked between her knees, hands obscuring her face. I glanced at her from the side and continued to struggle to sip my strawberry slushy through the straw. " We…were…so- perfect….together!" She choked on her tears and was taking in sharp breaths.

I sighed deeply but kept my eyes in front of me…just slurping.

Suddenly she lifted up her head and glared at me with puffy red eyes. Her cheeks stained with dried tears.

"Why don't you care Ichigo!" she snapped at me in a dry voice. I glanced back towards her enrang face.

"Oh…" I managed to say with the straw in my mouth. "I forgot."

"What!" she shrieked. I took my eyes off of her.

"I've heard this before." She started shaking her fist balled up at her sides, shoulders up to her ears.

"What do you mean you've heard it before! Do you not get that Takumi left me! How he dumped me for that slut Chiyo!"

"Oh yeah…that was the name. How could I have forgotten."

Tears started rolling down her cheeks with fresh velegence.

"How could you be so cruel! I thought you were my friend Ichigo!"

"Ok…maybe I should have done this differently…" I mumbled to myself my words muffled by the straw still in my mouth.

Miwa's eyes widened as they filled with tears mingled in flames.

"Ichigo!" She started shaking so violently that I knew it was time to end this.

I reached into the pocket of my red jacket that I wore over my pink knee length dress and pulled out my power pendent.

Miwa stopped screaming and stared at it.

"What…what's that?"

I brought it towards me and tilted it so that the rays of the sun struck it just right and the heart shaped gem in the center flickered.

"Take me back." My words once again muffled.

"What…what are you doing Ichigo!" Miwa screamed.

A bright light engulfed us and the next thing I knew I was standing at the park entrance where I had been a few hours earlier. My hair in its usuall pigtails and the hem of my pink dress swaying in the breeze. I looked down at my hand and saw that my slushy was gone.

"Wha…!" I gapped looking at my empty hands. I then let out a sigh and looked to the side mumbling. "I went back to far…"

"Ichigo!" came a tear filled voice. I turned round to see Miwa a few feet off her legs trembling as her face held back tears. I couldn't believe it! I still ended up here! Miwa ran up to me and started crying.

"Ichigo…Takumi…he…he" she gasped between wails. I blinked at her. I then let out a sigh. I was going to have to listen to her again. For the twenty fifth time….

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

I had been using the new time travel ability of my power pendant to my advantage. When I felt like sleeping in I would sleep in and when I was fully rested I would go back to when my alarm clock went off and get ready for school.

If not that I used it to get out of sticky situations. Like getting out of chours and unpleasant duties at work. It made life at the café a little less stressful.

But sometimes I just made it worse for myself by using it. Like the Miwa incident. When she first came up to me in the park I listened to her tale about Takumi cheating on her with Chiyo.

Chiyo was pretty cute with long jet black hair and blue-grey eyes. I wasn't surprised that he fell for her but I was still desapointed in him, cheating on one of my best friends.

But then out of now where I ran into Masaya and things have been pretty weird between the both of us since I broke our relation off. So to get out of another awkward moment I used the pendent but then ended up listening to Miwa's story again. But in order not to run into Masaya I had to lead her down a different path and she thought that I was tying to find an excuse not to listen to her. After three more times of going back she still kept finding a reason to blow up at me and so I started trying to avoid her all together…didn't work. She just kept finding me! And crying! And after hearing it thirty times you no longer feel bad and you run out of engery so you can't expect yourself to comfort her each time!

So in the end I let everything happen naturally. Ran into Masaya, another weird moment and I had to suffer through it all while Miwa cried about her boyfriend leaving her while I knew Masaya - who was standing beside us…felt the same way about me leaving him.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Ichigo!"

My head shot up off the pillow, I leaped out of the bed – still delirious – and caught my foot in the sheets toppling over and falling on the floor. I groaned as my eyes came to focus on my mother standing in my door way.

"Ichigo, darling your alarm clock has been buzzing for over five minuets. Cut it off and get ready for school." She ordered as she turned and left. I groaned tugged my foot from it's net of sheets and sulked over to the bathroom.

I not a morning person. I was never a morning person. That is except for that time when I was a love sick puppy and would gladly ditch sleep for a ride on the roller coaster with Masaya.

I yawned and looked at my reflection in the mirror. My hair was tangled in a mess all about my head and my nose was a little red. I used the palm and rubbed my nose a few time then washed my face before it returned to it's normal color.

Once I was dressed I walked down the stairs holding my school bag in my right hand.

"Morning Ichigo! I made pancakes for breakfast! Along with some fresh orange juice!" Chimed my mother.

I came to a halt at the kitchen door way.

"Wha…You've got to be kidding." I said, my shoulders dropping. " I'm tired of pancakes and you know I HATE orange juice." I whined. Then folded my arms over my chest. " I don't like apple juice either." I mumbled under my breath.

Mom turned to face me her dark red hair swishing with the sudden movement, a bright sing song smile on her face as she stood over the stove.

"Oh Ichigo don't be silly! You love pancakes! And since when have you hated orange juice? Your dad loves it."

I stalked into the kitchen.

"I've been pancaked out since sixth grade and I've hated orange juice since I was born also I don't know why dad loves orange juice…what does that have to do with me?" I mumbled as I snatched a pear from the basket on the counter.

"Ichigo!" Mom whined with a pout on her face. "I made pancakes, you can't just go out the door with a pear and not eat them. Your dad sure isn't!"

"And for good reason." I called over my shoulder as I headed out of the kitchen. I then bumped into something firm dropping my pear.

"Watch where your going, cutie pie!" I looked up to see dad standing in the door way. Tall with bright brown eyes and dark almost spiked hair. I looked down at the ground, gasped and picked up my pear.

"Dad!" I whined as he walked past me. "Now my pear is dented. It was the last one!"

"Oh don't worry about it. You could eat what your mom fixed." Looking over my shoulder with a dark look on my face I stared at him.

"Do you even know what she made?"

"Of course!" He said with a smile just as bright as mom's as he sat at the table. "Something wonderful. Just like my baby cakes always does!" I rolled my eyes as mom turned with a plat staked with disks of brown fried dough. I felt my stomach churn with just the smell of it.

"Yum pancakes!" Dad licked his lips and rubbed his hands together. Mom's smile brightened. "What I always want for a good start in the morning!"

"But you always nab a bagel for breakfast." I stated turning completely around. "Why the sudden change?"

"What's wrong with wanting a home cook meal from my honey bunny!" He chimed. Mom giggled. I looked in disgust as she kissed him on the cheek and dad struck his fork into the first pancake on the stack.

"Anyway…" He added looking up at me. " I thought you loved pancakes."

"I did. Until I was feed it every single day. Now I can't even smell it without having my stomach churn - yet alone eat it!"

"Don't be silly." He said stuffing his fork into his mouth. "Come seat and eat what your mother fixed."

"You know: I don't mind a dented pear. It's just fine. It still edible! Bye!" I turned and high tailed it just as I caught a glass of orange juice placed in front of my dad.

As I ran out of the house it reminded me of Ichigo Two…How we got into an argument over liking and not liking orange juice. I sighed as the wind whipped through my hair as I dashed down the street.

I wondered how they were doing….
