CHAPTER 2
It was her fourteen birthday party, two years ago, when Ichigo dressed in a beautiful skirt and blouse--her hair done up neatly--for the special occasion--when the topic went towards the Mewmews. They were sitting around the dining room table, eating birthday cake--Mayasia on one side of her along with her fellow mewmews and Ryou, on the other side some normal junior high student girls who had no idea of her secret.
"Puh-lease, the mewmews, they're so childish"
"They were cool before...but i mean now...they're boring"
"wannabees"
"Freaks...who turns into animals? i'm glad i'm normal"
this conversation countinued, ichigo staring at her plater silently, Mayasia's arm gripping her tightly...
The jr-high students had no idea the light of the party--the birthday girl had not uttered a word in this conversation...
Ichigo turned around and let instincts take over...
She grabbed the hand on her shoulder, bit it and with complete feline flexibility she jumped backward, landed on all fours and got a good look at her oppenent before he could utter "Ow"
Her suprise showed on her face as she cried out "Ryou!"
He was wincing as he held in hand, his golden blonde hair falling over his vivid blue eyes.
"What the hell did you attack me for!" he exploded finally looking up.
Ichigo sighed, well at least that means he isn't hurt...
"do you just attack people if someone lays a hand on your shoulder! or is it only me" he coutinued rambling on with his lecture and slowly ichigo's heart returned to ease and she started to get irraitatied.
"y'know ryou i've said sorry like fifty times..."
thunder crackled onminously in the sky and ichigo jumped.
Ryou smirked "afraid of thunder storms?"
"you.are.such.a.jerk! and no, i'm not!"
There was though, a worried expression on his face, as the thunder countinued and the clouds grew stormy and turbluent.
"The weather man said it was going to be a beautiful day today...what's going on?" he murmmered.
He glanced at ichigo "let's get out of here, i don't want you to get sick..."
They ran as rain began to fall, their legs stretching in front of the other, they were side by side...
The rain flattened her hair,and the wind nipped at her eyes, but her cheeks were a rosy pink,strangely, she had never felt so happy--so free---and all she was doing was running--with ryou--
Two eyes followed them from a distance...tiny pinpricks of light in the darkness...
"Ah cafe mewmew" Ichigo panted, pushing back her sodden hair.
They entered the dark and empty cafe breathing hard, Ryou switched on the light saying
" I guess no one's here yet...i should cancel work for today...they probably got the message looking outside..., he looked at her, you can leave if you want though i doubt your going anywhere in this weather"
She jumped into one of the cafe chairs cheerfully " Nope not going anywhere, i'll just relax"
"why are you so happy?"
Ichigo pondered it for a while but couldn't find an answer so shrugged not really bothered by it.
"whatever...want some tea? " he questioned.
"huhh, i mean sure" she said hastily.
A few minutes later they were sitting opposite each other, each holding a cup of green tea.
The silence was suddenly interrupted when ichigo giggled,. trying to smother it, until it finally turned into laughter.
Ryou raised an eyebrow " i think the weather's getting to you"
She pointed at his hair still laughing.
Blushing, he looked in the hanging mirror on the left of him and saw his hair, wet with rain sticking up in odd manners.
dang. he thought. he really didn't want to look like this in front of ichigo--he wanted to look more sopishticated--not like an idiot.
"well your in no beauty state either" of course he was lieing, he acuatlly thought she looked pretty cute for an annoying twerp like her--of course he wasn't going to tell her that.
He chuckled. He couldn't help it--and suddenly his deep laugh was blending with her own...
"so" Ichigo said finally leaning forward her eyes shining brightly.
"what?"
"i'm going to try to have a conversation with you without yelling at you"
"gee, thanks he said sacrastically.
They were alone in the cafe for at least a couple hours.
who knows what can happen?
