Chapter 2

A present, another bump to the head, and an explanation that could only come from a Strawberry Baka

Ryou walked down the street, not having even the slightest clue what he was looking for. Why am I doing this again? He wondered frustrated, she wont accept anything from me anyway... so why bother wasting my time and money on this? Ryou didn't know why the thought of getting the Strawberry a gift made him so mad, maybe it was the thought that he wouldn't have the guts to give it to her in the end anyway... he hated the thinking that he was such a coward.

He rubbed his temples. His headache was worse than usual now. Why was he doing it? Keiichiro had suggested it. So of course he would do it... Keiichiro knew what he was talking about, right? Ryou wasn't so sure any more...

Flashback

It was late that night and Ryou was pacing his room, his face set to a deep scowl. He was thinking of her, again. Given up on pacing and thinking, he resulted in banging his head on the wall; repeatedly.

"Damn you Strawberry... one of these days I'm gonna-"

"Stop living in denial?" Keiichiro offered 'kindly', standing in the doorway. When did he get here??

"I'm NOT in denial!!" Ryou replied indignantly, folding his arms and pouting, accidentally looking quite feminine.

Keiichiro chuckled, "I rest my case. So why are you in denial?" he asked, sitting on a conveniently placed chair and resting his chin in his hand thoughtfully.

Great, Ryou thought, now he's gonna play Dr. Phil again. "Keiichiro, I'm REALLY not in the mood today."

"Why are you not in the mood?"

Ryou's eyebrow twitched. "Because I've got a very familiar headache annoying me again..." he said glaring at his friend.

"You know what you should do?" Keiichiro said seeming very... hyper?? "Tomorrow you should go buy her a present!"

"Oh no... please no... you've had caffeine haven't you..." groaned Ryou; this is why he hid the coffee. But maybe that isn't such a bad idea...

End Flashback

So that's how in his moment of weakness Ryou had considered getting the Strawberry Baka a gift, and being the stubborn fool he was, he had forced himself to come out here and find something a teen-aged girl would want. A hard task for two reasons: 1) Contrary to popular belief; Ryou was not a teenage girl, 2) He hated shopping. Hated with a vengeance.

This is self-imposed torcher... he whined inwardly as he passed a group of drooling fangirls. He glared at them then turned back to the last shop he could possibly think of... and the worst yet... the dreaded cute jewellery shop... filled with gawking fangirls and horrible pink items, it was every boy's worst nightmare. Then something caught his eye. Perfect! Or atleast perfect enough to get me outta here... Purchasing the item he headed back to the cafe.

It was just closing time when Ryou came back, and Minto, Lettuce and Pudding were heading off; but Zakuro had a photo shoot or something, so she hadn't even turned up to work.

"Where's the Strawberry?" Ryou asked Minto, out of curiosity of course.

"Hmm? Why do you ask?" Minto said suspiciously, always looking for some sort of blackmail to hold against her friend. The perfect picture of a best friend you could always rely on, eh? Ryou groaned, Minto was the wrong person to ask, and she wouldn't answer him until he answered her.

"Ichi-oneechan is in the kitchen with Akasaka-san na no da!" Pudding bounced in saving Ryou from the Evil Mint. What's she doing with him? Baka Strawberry... Ryou thought, the back of his neck prickling, the same sort of prickle he got when he saw Ichigo and Masaya together. He hated the thought that he got this jealous whenever he saw her with someone else, even someone like Keiichiro, but lately it had gotten worse than usual. Oh well, he would despair over his feelings later, as usual.

The rest of the mews left the café and Ryou headed into the kitchen, holding the small parcel he had gotten that day. He hesitated a the door, hand wavering at the knob. He could hear two voices, he thought it was Ichigo complaining, not that it would surprise him, but he couldn't hear the words. No doubt complaining about her workload, her pay, and me, he thought to himself smirking.

"Arigato for listening, Akasaka-san!" Ichigo shouted, really hyper. And, oh the irony, opened the door, smacking a startled Ryou in the face.

He wasn't expecting it, and his head flew back, hitting on the wall behind him. He dropped the parcel and there was a small tinkling sound. He tried to rub the back of his head and his forehead simultaneously, looking rather comical in the process.

"Ahh! Gomen Shirogane..." Ichigo sweatdropped, then her eyes hit the package. "Ooh, what is this? Is it a present?" She grabbed it up and held it to the side of her face, then shook it slightly, the small jingling noise sounding again.

"Ooh!! What is it?? Tell me Ryou, is it a gift? Who's it for?" she said loudly, still hyper and shaking the wrapped parcel, delighted at the sound. She seemed to have forgotten she was still mad at him for earlier, fortunately for Ryou

Ryou made a grab for the parcel, desperate to get it back before she broke it or something else stupid. "Baka Strawberry, give it back!" he yelled, starting to get angry, he had spent all day just trying to find the right one...

"Why? Oooooh, is it for a gi-irl? Oh Shirogane, I didn't know you had a girlfriend!" she said, eyes teasing and holding the slightest bit of evilness. Oh great, now I'm in for it, Ryou thought.

"NO! Now, just give it!"

"I'll give it back, IF you give me a raise." she said triumphant, and, yes, evil.

"Give it back, or I'll dock your pay." he countered, glaring at the baka red-headed girl. The threat visible in his cerulean blue eyes.

She seemed to give in, which really surprised Ryou. "Fine, Ryou, whatever, I've got to go clean the café," she said glaring at him, then threw him the parcel.

She passed a shocked looking Ryou and headed for the change rooms. Walking slowly, feet dragging behind her. What was in that parcel? She wondered, Who was it for? Ugh, never mind, if Shirogane wants to be a jerk, let him be.

"Um, Strawberry?" Ryou called hesitantly, looking away.

"Y-yes?" she turned around to face him, a small blush crawling its way onto her face.

"What... What were you talking to Keiichiro about?" Ryou was bewildered at himself. What on earth possessed me to say that of all things?

"Huh? Akasaka-san?" Ichigo thought confused as Ryou sweatdropped. She's already forgotten? What a baka... "Oh yeah! That's right!!" She finally declared, "IT WAS YOU!!" suddenly her hyper grin turned to a fierce glare and she pointed at him like he had just, um, stolen the last cookie or something. "SHIROGANE I WANT A RAISE!!"

Ryou's sweatdrop grew. Man she was random. "Uh... how about no?"

Changing tactics she made her best puppy dog eyes at him, the ones she usually reserved for Masaya. "But... but... I'm the only one who does any work, yet the other girls get paid the same amount I do! Which isn't much to begin with I might add."

Gah, why does she have to be so darn cute when she's upset! He thought, trying to anywhere but at her eyes, which were growing bigger and more pitiful by the second. "You're such a Baka Strawberry..." Ryou mumbled, not giving a straight answer.

"Think of it this way nya!" she started, "suppose I came and asked you and Akasaka-san to help me with my science homework-"

"I'd refuse, and tell you to use your own baka brain," Ryou smirked as he interupted her speech.

"Quiet while I'm talking, Shirogane!" she scolded me before continuing, "So yeah, suppose I asked both of you to help, but Akasaka-san didn't do anything, he just sat, oh I don't know, DRINKING TEA IN THE CORNER AND NOT DOING ANYTH-"

"Ichigo!"

"Oh yeah, sorry, so Akasaka-san was doing nothing, and you helped me a lot, and then when we were finished I thanked Akasaka-san and gave him a hug, but I ignored you, how would you feel nya?" She finally finished what she was trying to say in one breath.

I'd feel absolutely devastated, he thought, but ,smirking, replied, "I'd feel sorry for Keiichiro."

She got angry at me again. "Nyaa~ jerk! You're supposed to say 'I would feel very upset, Ichigo'." Ichigo instructed, failing in an attempt to make her voice sound as low as Ryou's.

"I would feel very upset, Ichigo," he mimicked in a monotone.

"Exactly!" Ichigo completely missed the sarcasm in his sentence. "So to be fair, I'd have to give you an extra big hug for helping me! Do you see my point now?" as she said 'extra big' she stretched her arms out to show give and example of just how big it was.

"I'm a better hugger than Keiichiro?" Ryou's smirk grew wider as her face got satisfyingly redder.

"Uwaaa?! YOU HENTAI JERK!! That's all you gathered from that??" she shrieked in my face her face resembling a real strawberry, and her cat ears showing themselves with an audible 'pop'.

"Oh, so no denying it then?"

"Baka, baka, baka, HENTAI baka!" Ichigo yelled at him, accentuating each 'baka' with a hit on his head. Calming down slightly, she realised physical violence may not be the best way to get a raise out of her already angry boss, so she got back to the task at hand. "Please Shirogane? Pretty princess please with a cherry on top?"

"Ugh, you're such a child..." he sighed, scratching the back of his head. "Fine, Strawberry, you can have one."

"Waah? Really? THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANKYOU!! You're the best Ryou!" she said doing a happy dance in the middle of the hall. She hadn't even realised she had used his given name.

"Yeesh, let me finish would you, baka? I meant you can have one IF," her face fell at the dreaded 'if' word, "IF you show me you can be mature, and not raise your voice until after work tomorrow." he smirked, finally, he could get some peace and quiet. "Now get back to cleaning or I will dock your pay for the entire week!" He flicked Ichigo's forehead and walked up to his room with the mysterious, yet long forgotten by the strawberry, package.

She opened her mouth to protest, but shut it as she started cleaning before she was any later finishing. She looked at the time on her phone and then the mess in the café; this was going to take hours. Darn it, my parents are going to kill me...
