After a while of talking with my new friend, she quickly told me she had to go and disappeared.

Well, actually, she just turned into a smaller form like Mini mew normally did when not wanting to be seen. She went into my pocket and hid away.

It confused me, but I just shrugged it off and stood, walking out of the room and down to the main lobby of the Cafe. And to my surprised, I found Mint and Ichigo working. I watched a little bit, before Mint sent a glare at me, making me turn and head back upstairs to change into my uniform.

I walked down stairs, glad to see that we didn't have very long before our work was done. A

And as soon as it was, I hurried out, not bothering to change and sat at a bench outside the cafe, taking in a breath and smiling as I watched the grass sway some.

"Excuse me? Do you know where I may find Ryou?" Someone behind me asked.

I turned and looked at the person, finding it was a VERY attractive... hot... male. He looked a couple years older than me.

I had to look him over.

His eyes were like Ryou's, a really deep blue colour, almost like crystals. His hair was short and a bit messy, a dirty-blondish, again like Ryou's. The smile he had was soft and sweet, not at all like Ryou.

I stared at him a moment, forgetting what I was doing for a second, but eventually snapped back to reality and shook my head "No. I'm sorry. He left this morning to do some work elsewhere. I can tell him you stopped by.. um.."

"James. My name is James, I'm Ryou's cousin from America." His set out his hand to me, which I shook. His hands were soft and his grip was firm.

My head was pulling into over drive as I felt my cheeks burn. Why was I reacting so strangely?

I snapped out of it as soon as he pulled his hand away and I kinda panicked, quickly speaking.

I nodded "I'm Kiran. I work at the cafe your cousin owns." I turned and pointed to the large pink castle-like cafe.

James snickered and nodded "Nice to meet you Kiran. I've actually heard of you and the other girls. Lettuce, Mint, and Ichigo. How you four are protecting the earth from the aliens." He told me.

After that, we then started a conversation on what was going on and the tactics the girls could use. Jiji then appeared and grinned big "Hello! The name's Jiji!" She declared, setting her hands on her hips. I felt more embarrassed by her appearance and tried to grab her before anyone else could see her, but she just floated out of my reach.

James was a little surprised by her appearence and started to look her over "Interesting. Ryou really likes to make new things. This is impressive." He gently took the small robotic human/thing and looked at her arms, legs, torso, and head.

I watched him as he moved her limbs, not doing anything that might be really weird, and watched as they functioned like a normal humans.

James let her go and she floated around him, then shrunk back down and went into my pocket once more.

The male looked at me "So, out of my growing curiosity, what animal are you fused with exactly?" He asked.

I looked at him "A white tiger." I played with the charm I had, spinning it in my fingers. I couldn't help but feel a little proud of my animal when he nodded "That's very interesting. White tigers are quite the beautiful creatures."

I then decided to let him into the Cafe and brought him inside, a happy and kinda flustered smile across my lips.

The girls at first thought James was my boyfriend. I explained he wasn't, though I wouldn't mind it... and he was actually Ryou's cousin, they seemed to like him as soon as he smiled and said 'hello'.

I laughed as they then started to chat with him, getting to know him more personally.

I noticed Ichigo had left and went outside to sweap out in front of the cafe. I quickly followed her and poke the younger teen, about to say something, but being interupted by someone seaking another language entirely.

What was with people kinda just appearing today?

"Pardon me, please." Me and Ichigo looked at her, us both confused. "Good morning, ladies. My name is Mary McGuirre. I'm here to speak with Ryou. I'm a professional pianist, and I've come to speak with him about playing at the upcoming party. Is he available?"

Me and Ichigo looked at eachother, unsure of what to do, then Ichigo decided to be an idiot and start to sound like this woman was some sort of alien.

The woman looked confused herself "You speak english?"

Ichigo spoke again, sounding really stupid... Again.

The woman then thought aloud, still speaking in the odd language, "Is Ryou here?"

This was really worrying me and I had to get out of there, but I had to make up an excuse or something.

I turned and walked to the cafe "I'm gonna get some help. Maybe someone knows the language she's speaking in." I then ran inside, finding that Ryou and Keiichiro were back then.

I stared at them for a moment "Wow... this is amazing timing. There's a woman outside and she's speaking in a different language and Ichigo is making herself look like an idiot."

"That isn't new." Mumbled Ryou as him and Keiichiro walked to the door and outside.

Ryou, Keiichiro, and the woman walked back in and they led her to a piano that had suddenly appeared.. or I paid no attention to it, probably because of James... and the woman began to play it.

I heard the other girls behind me, but mostly ignored them. I focused on the beautiful music being played by the woman at the piano.

Once she stopped, Ryou, Keiichiro, James, me, Ichigo, Letucce, and Mint all clapped for her.

Keiichiro explained that Ryou and him had planned a party on the weekend for animal rights or something along those limes and that us girls were guests in the party, plus that Mary McGuirre was going to be playing at the party.

I instantly became happy as I jumped around in excitement "A party! A party!" I cheered.

I soon stopped when I heard that we were going to be getting original dresses, compliments from Ryou. This, oddly, made both me and Ichigo stare at the blondy in somewhat-shock as he just smiled, shake Mary's hand, then leave to do something else.

Mary McGuirre looked at Ichigo and shook her hands, saying something in English I couldn't understand. She then left, waving to us before actually walking out the door.

I set my head in my hand and smiled "She's really nice." Lettuce nodded "And her playing is beautiful." Keiichiro smiled "Yes, she does, and she is very beautiful. Ryou is in love with her music."

It was getting late and almost time for us to close the cafe for the day, when Ichigo had to take out the garbage.

Ryou came by and handed Lettuce and Mint a box for each of them "For the party." He told them, then walked over to me "Here Kiran." He handed me a nice white-ish box "This is for the party next weekend." He told me, then walked outside and to the back.

I blinked a bit and opened the box, remembering that Keiichiro said the outfits would be from Ryou. The dress inside was gorgeous.

It was a beautiful silver, even shimmering in the light, and was slightly tinted a light blue. The design on it was flowers at the hem of the skirt and a faded out darker silvery-blue at the top, like the night sky. The skirt puffed out a bit, not to much, but just enough to make it elegant and flare out when it was spun. On the back was a pretty light blue bow, the ribbons long enough to drag across the floor as I would walk. The box also contained a simple pair of shoes, with only a little bit of heel. Altogether, Ryou had gotten me a very elegant and beautiful dress for the party.

I closed the box and held it to my chest "Wow... Who knew he had such amazing taste..." I mumbled to myself. My face got warm as I thought of all the people that could be at the party and my embarrassment took over "Oh fuck..." I then thought of how much I loathed dancing.

I just had to make sure nothing 'embarrassing' would be shown off.

James walked downstairs to the lab in the basement and started to help his cousin and his co-worker with their research and the guest list.
