Okay...so, here's chapter two.

Youshould be grateful that I am doing it today. Joking. But seriously, I could be out doing something else but I choose to stay here and write.

So here it is!

"Kekekekeke..." A ghoslty figure in the shadows snickered. "What fools!"

"Be nice now Onii-san." A woman in a dark red dress the nearly touched the floor said. Her eyes do not yet appear to us.

The woman kissed the dark figure and afterwards he totally ignored her to watch his magickal pool.

(OOC: The pool of water acts as like a fortune teller's crystal ball. He spies on people with it.)

Back in Tokyo it was a Saturday and the Cafe was as busy as ever! Ichigo had told Ryou that she would come back to work but she had not shown up yet.

"Dammit!" he said as he flopped down on his bed. He was tired from helping out the Mews in Ichigo's place. Now I know what she feels like.

He turned his head to look at the clock. 1:00?! What the hell?! She was supposed to be here four hours ago!

Ryou got up, put his coat on, and headed downstairs to go find out where she was.

"I'll be back in a while!" He yelled to the Mews, waving with his back turned to them. He hurried down the stairs and out into the streets towards her apartment building.

He got in the elevator and ran out down the hall to her apartment.

"ICHIGO! OPEN THIS GODDAMN DOOR!" He yelled, banging on the door with his fist.

"What?!" Ichigo yelled once she had opened the door. When she realized it was Ryou her cat ears popped up.

"You were supposed to be at the Cafe four hours ago! Where were you?"

"I just woke up." She yawned. Her face was red and flushed. Probobly the first signs of a fever.

Ryou put his hand up to her forehead. She was burning up.

"Ichigo, you have a fever. Why don't you just stay home for today. I'm sorry for all the commotion I caused, and for coming here unnanounced, and-" Ichigo cut him off.

"Don't worry about it. I feel fine so I'm gonna still go to work. You can come in and wait while I get dressed if you like." She said not breaking eye contact.

"But you're sick-" She cut him off again.

"But I feel fine. Just come in and sit down."

He did as she said and sat down in her living room. She went back to her room and changed into a pink sweater, a pair of jeans, and some pink sneakers.

"All set." She said when she had come out.

"Ichigo...Uh...You look..."Ryou couldn't say anything. His face a beet red he held out his arm. "Shall we go then?"

"Why yes, kind sir." She replied, linking her arm with his. They both burst out laughing by what they just said. They walked outside and made their way towards the cafe.

They unlinked arms and went inside. "Ichigo!" The five other mews yelled. They ran over and hugged her. "Where have you been?" Mint asked. "Why didn't you call?" asked Lettuce.

"I missed you! Have some candy!" Pudding plopped a candy in her mouth. "Hmmph." Zakuro grunted. "We all missed you very, very much Ichigo." Berry said, a small smile played across her face.

"Girls. GIRLS. Ichigo has to get dressed now. Reunion is over." Ryou said sternley.

"Aww, Ryou, you're no fun." Pudding replied as they all went back to their tables. Ichigo hurried to the changing room and changed into her uniform.

Ryou snuck in. "Ryou?!" Ichigo yelled, suprised. He ran over and covered her mouth. "Shut up! If the other Mews knew I was in here..." He sighed, and uncovered her mouth. He wrapped his arms around her waist and moved into a small space in the corner of the room.

(OOC: You know when you have that small rectangle that kinda jets out from the rest of the room? That's where they are.)

"Ryou, we shouldn't be here. The others will wonder where I've gone to..." Ryou placed his lips over hers. "It's okay. Don't worry." He had missed her so much that all he wanted to do

was hold her and kiss her. He kissed her again and he licked her bottom lip gently. She opened her mouth a bit and Ryou slipped in his tongue. They massaged each other's tongues and Ryou cupped her right breast with his hand over her shirt. The last time he did this, before she went off with Masaya, she slapped him for it. But now she didn't mind. She smiled and he coninued to carress her breast. Ryou moved down and started

to kiss her neck, leaving small marks.

"Ichigo! What are you doing in there? You're tables are starting to complain!" Mint yelled.

"I, uh, better go." Ichigo said moving from the corner and smoothing out her hair.

She walked out the door leaving Ryou in the changing room

She ran around trying to fill orders, bring in plates, and trying her best to get Mint to actually do some work. Why does nobody still not do any work around here?? She thought running with a full tray of strawberry parfaits. Once the day was over and everyone had changed and went home. Ichigo stayed late to help clean. Hey, it was better than going home to an empty apartment right? She was mopping the floor when Ryou

came down the stairs to see that she was still there. "Ichigo, why haven't you gone home yet?" He asked.

"Oh, I down't know. I just feel bad for being late so I'm making up for it." She said, smiling. Without another word, Ichigo finished mopping and put the mop away. Ryou was still sitting on the stairs waiting for her. She came out of the supply closet, located in the kitchen, and Ryou got up to meet her. He grabbed her and just held her for a moment. Then he started leaning in for a kiss. But Ichigo turned her head. "What's wrong?" Ryou asked. "I can't do this. Not right now."

"Why? Oh, are you starting to feel sick?" Ryou asked, feeling her forehead again. "Yes." She said, resting her head on his broad chest. "Then you go get dressed and I'll walk you home, okay?" He said letting go of her. She scurried off to the changing room and in no time at all she was back out again. They both headed to the door, hand in hand, but when Ryou opened the door a big wall of snow toppled in upon them.

"Crap!" Ryou tried his best to close the door and keep the snow out but there was still a great deal of snow on the floor.

"Looks like your going to have to stay here." Ryou said then, the power went out. "Oh, just GREAT." Ryou sat down at a table and held his head up by his hand. He closed his eyes in frustration. Ichigo snuck up and gave him a peck on the lips. "It's okay. I'm still here." He opened his eyes and smiled at her.

Okay. That's about it for Chapter 2. I'm gonna write some more later. Maybe even some really long pages. So reveiw! I really appreciate those who already have!
