Sorry, it's been awhile. It's a bit longer! The reviewers were so kind...Thanks so much for reading and reviewing. I think I'm gonna change the summary a little, but nothing big.
Chapter 2
Later at Bonheur.
Shindou glances at Uru. "...Takamura, go get Ichirou, his break's over."
"Roger!" Uru exclaims, snapping to attention like a soldier. A few customers are startled.
Uru walks out of Bonheur with a bump on her head, but still cheerful. 'Hummm...' Uru thinks, crossing her arms and looking up and down the street. 'Intuition says that way!' She goes right and continues going down that way for awhile. Uru passes some pretty girls from her school. They're cheeks are stained pink, giggling and smiling shyly about a sleeping prince bishie.
'Pretty...' Uru thinks, distracted for a second by the girls. 'Oh! They must've seen Ichirou-kun!' Uru thinks, enlightened.
Uru now dones a detective-type hat that's pushed down her hair that sticks up, and a large magnifying glass. She wears a serious expression.
Back at Bonheur.
"She's taking awhile." Shindou says aloud then sighs and thinks, 'she's probably turned this into some kind of game.'
Back to Uru.
Uru goes down the side street the girls had come from and sees a certain Sou Abekawa kneeling next to sleeping Ichirou-kun. Uru races to them and Sou looks up at her foot steps.
"Ah. Hey."
"One sec.!"
Uru kneels by Ichirou's head and reaches into her pocket to pull out some strawberry milk candy. She makes a face. She really liked these, she sacrifices a few to her friend.
Ichirou blinks and wearing his poker face (his regular face), sits up and looks blankly at Uru, apparently unsurprised by Uru's attire and not looking at Sou.
"What's up, Uru?"
"Ahahaha, mystery solved!"
"Oooh good job, Uru."
"Let's head back to Bonheur. You too, Abekawa Sou!" Uru says, "You found Ichirou-kun first so I'll treat ya to something from Bonheur. You can bring something back for Sakura-chan, too!"
"A-ah, wait a sec.!" Sou calls out as Uru drags him and Ichirou by their hands back to Bonhuer.
Shindou's wiping the counter when the door opens and bangs off the wall. His eyes go to the door and he feels annoyed.
"You sure took your time." He says as he pinches Uru's cheek as punishment with his dark aura swirling behind and around him. There's no customers this time to startle, but even if there were it wouldn't stop things from going about the way they were.
Shindou stops pinching Uru as he notices someone other than Uru and Ichirou.
Sou looks uneasy, with the remainder of a blush on his face, and stands behind Uru and Ichirou with his left hand in his pocket. The other is still being held by Uru. He looks at Shindou and feels the way he looks. Ichirou goes to the back room to put his apron back on.
"Shindou-san! I got Ichirou, but Abekawa Sou got there first, so I'm gonna give 'em something as a reward and to bring bach to Sakura-chan!"
Shindou frowns. Distracted. She's still holding the Abekawa kids' hand. Sou's blush is back, because now all he has to focus on is Uru's small fingers wrapped between his.
"Okay, I'm gonna go get my apron. Be right back." Uru lets go of Sou's hand and heads to the back room. Sou breathes out.
"Please have a seat," Shindou mumbles and nods at a booth, now trying to remember what Takamura had said a moment earlier.
"Ah, okay."
