(a.n) This chapter is dedicated to Angel Ichigo Melody for giving me the idea. Sorry about the minimal amount of Ryou in this chapter.

Ichigo and the others were working very peacefully. Something about this situation stuck Ichigo funny. She had never worked peacefully in her life.

She had come in twenty minutes late and only Mint yelled at her. That's when it hit the ditzy cat girl. Shirogane was not here. How dare he yell at her for slacking off then he go do it himself?!?! The filthy hypocrite! She walked into the kitchen and silently walked up to Keiichirro. He seemed to be making some sort of tart. "Hey Akasaka-san…….," she began before the chef had hit her in the face with his spoon. "Gomen! Gomen! Are you terribly hurt?"He asked in that all too perfect gentlemanly voice of his.

"N-no I'm fine" she stuttered. "I was just wondering if you had seen Shirogane." He stopped stirring and looked thoughtful for a moment. "Come to think of it, I don't think I have. He's probably just sick or something so you should let him rest."

With saying that, he went back to arranging the fruit in a perfect flower pattern on the tart. Ichigo on the other hand headed right up to is room. 'With him being sick it'll be easier to get my raise from him'. She thought.

Bursting into the room, she was surprised to see that there was no shirtless Ryou in there. (Sad isn't it?) Ichigo searched far and wide for Ryou but all she found was a note and a tube of the ugliest bright pink lipstick ever.

She opened the note and read:

If you ever want to se your beautiful Ryou again please send two hundred dozens of chocolate chip cookies to the following address: 456 drewy lane, London, England.

Ichigo thought that it was nothing so she threw it into the garbage. Too bad Ichigo didn't think. Now how will she get that raise she wants so badly? Who even cares!?!?
