Chapter 2
Note: Life changes over time but you always remember the past.
~Laura's POV
"Hey Boss~ it's time to close up!"
"Hai~ I hear ya~ everyone~ we're finished for today~!" I call throughout the new and improved 'Neko Yuki' café as many calls are returned.
I run the café now since… Yuki died in the war… the café collapsed inwards and it seems she was in the café when it happened. In her will she left this place and her money to me, she left Mimi her home along with her babies, her cat and kittens by that, she only left Tom late husband's suits which made me laugh a little.
The government rebuild most of Cape Breeze everyone who survived the war was re-homed or they moved out of Cape Breeze. Since I was left 'Neko Yuki' I kept the name for my late Boss, Yuki, but I put up help wanted signs as soon as the café was built and one new waiter and waitress as well as a new cook have joined my staff.
Mimi now has a friend called Dino who is Italian, he's about twenty-two with messy blonde hair which somewhat reminds me of the style of Minato and pale blue eyes.
Our new waitress called Marina who is Spanish, she's about eighteen and she finished high school this year so this is her first job, she has elbow length light brown hair and clear green eyes.
Our new waiter is called Joey who is half American and half British (so happy to have another person from England here) who is nineteen, he has blonde hair like Dino though his hairstyle reminds me of Sai for some reason and he has light brown eyes.
The new staff members have been a great addition since Cape Breeze has been pretty well since the war as many people have wanted to visit here since its some new tourist spot again though people wouldn't normally think that because of the ninja war here but it has been quite busy as we would have normally got about three-hundred people a day before the war and we almost get over six-hundred on a busy day! It's amazing to see so many people though it is now a bit of a handful for my staff, I might need to get another chef and waiter or waitress to join soon if the numbers of customers continue to grow.
Ahh I am getting VERY off track… umm… err… oh right. I own 'Neko Yuki' now and Cape Breeze is slowly getting back to its normal self… just without… you know… the Akatsuki… and Konoha ninjas.
I sigh a little while walking into the now more modern changing area where the whole room is painted red with white carpets, the lockers are purple and the two sofas on either side of the room are purple, there are pictures on the wall to give the room a more welcoming aura which everyone who are female seem to love.
I quickly change into a new kimono I made which is white with black roses on it while it has black lace all over the ends of it like, ends of sleeves, the bottom and top of it.
"Good night everyone~" I call as everyone starts leaving the café, leaving me at the counter taking the money out of the cash register, I plan to put it in my bank account on my way home.
"Buenas noches," Marina calls back with a wave and I know it's her because of her really tanned skin… plus I know her voice I am epic like that!
"Buona notte!" Dino calls back with a small smirk and wave and I know it's him since that is Italian and I know… very little Italian.
"Good night!" both Joey, Mimi and Tom reply as I start gathering what I need before following them to the door and locking up, they are all nowhere in sight meaning they are all heading home since it's about nine pm.
I yawn a little while rubbing my eyes with the sleeve of my kimono before slowly walking in the direction of home which is Kahlan's home, even if we both have the money to live by ourselves I prefer living with Kahlan, I feel safer and more at home with her.
On my way back home, I put the spare money from the cash register into my bank before heading straight home… okay I stopped on the way for ice-cream… its awesome do not judge me! Meanies!
I yawn while walking and soon arrive at home as I pull out my keys before pushing them into the keyhole, turn them to the right before pushing the door open, yawning as I do so. I really need to start getting better sleeping times since I go to sleep about eleven while I wake up about ten since twelve is when I have to open the café.
I step through the door to get some sort of colourful paper thrown on me, looking up I do indeed see colour paper! I grin and look to Kahlan who is grinning, colourful paper in her hands.
"Welcome back," she greets as I glomp her with a grin.
"That's my line~ welcome back Kahlan~" I sing while hugging her, I haven't seen her in two months it feels like forever. "Missed you lots Kahlan, did you have fun performing?" I ask with puppy eyes as I notice she has been crying but I won't ask why; till we both get comfy at home.
"I had fun, I have snacks ready in the living room," she says with a grin as I quickly run into the living room with her following, I jump into my favourite seat and snuggle a pillow as the movie start screen of 'Alice In Wonderland' is on the screen, the new one.
"This feels so different," I say while thinking, yeah… we don't have the Akatsuki with us so it's very different.
"I know," Kahlan says while picking up a bowl of Doritos which I snack on a few of them, I love Doritos. I smile a little while curling up in the sofa with my own bowl of Doritos and Kahlan starts the movie, leaning back into sofa with her own bowl.
I yawn loudly while watching the movie and place my bowl onto the coffee table, curling up in the sofa as I close my eyes, I'm not really in the mood for a movie, I'm pretty tired from work. It takes me moments to fall asleep and I continue to have the most strangest dreams but also the saddest as they bring back memories.
I have little mini dreams of training with Kisame, some dreams of taking pictures of everyone with Kahlan… and even… he-he… a tiny movie night with Deidara which I don't remember properly.
I soon wake up with a yawn as I open my eyes a little to see Kahlan crying, a photo album in her lap as I notice a familiar picture I look at sometimes. It's a picture of all the Akatsuki members on the sofa with different expressions like Sasori looks bored as well but Kahlan and I were able to catch a picture of Sasuke and Itachi smirking at the camera as Kahlan and I give it the peace sign… sneaky camera went off without a warning.
"Kahlan, are you okay?" I ask while sitting up in my sofa seat, rubbing my eyes while doing so.
"I'm… fine," she says which causes me to frown a little as I move over my seat a little, I see the picture better and blush a tiny bit as Deidara has his arm round my shoulder while I am also blushing a bit in the picture… I love this picture.
I lean on her shoulder as I hear a rock of thunder outside in the garden, "there was a storm when the Akatsuki came too," I say with a frown as Kahlan drops another tear onto the page while I try to wipe the rest of the tears coming, away.
"I know," she says while slowly closing the book and standing up, "I'm going to stand outside for a little bit," she says as I yawn a little and follow after her, opening the door and standing up there in my kimono but I still have my shinobi shoes on while my forehead protector is hidden under my kimono since I never leave home without it now.
My shoes tap against the stone tiles near the door as I step out onto them then onto the grass. I take a long breath in before sighing; this cool air is pretty relaxing.
"This is nice I guess," Kahlan says while walking beside me as I watch a strike of yellow/purple lightning hit in the background which causes me to gasp and jump a little in excitement; that was sooooo cool! "That was strange," Kahlan says while eyeing the clouds in the background which are moving very quickly towards us.
"How strange?" I question while watching the epic lightning clouds quickly come above us but what puzzles me is why they just stopped… like time is frozen in our area.
"That is strange!" Kahlan yells while pulling me close to her while falling backwards onto her back as the lightning strikes the ground around us but it doesn't strike once… but many times. "Stay close to me," she yells over the thunder as I feel myself becoming light headed and I watch Kahlan as her eyes close closely as well.
The last thing I see… is lots and lots of purple lightning strikes.
