Heya everyone, it's been a wile, hope everyone's okay. So here ya go!

Kanade's P.O.V.

I had finally arrived, unlocking the main door, flipping on the light with one hand, pulling out my key with the other, the small noise of the light buzzing was the only thing to be heard.

I sighed slowly, moving into the back kitchen, straightening a couple of chairs on the way, the legs making a slight rumble against the wooden board floor.

Slipping my keys back into my purse, I had set my purse randomly on of one of the chairs in the kitchen, rolling up my sleeves before heading to the sink to wash up before handling the ingredients.

Ooyama's P.O.V.

What is that sound? Agh, it's so loud

Why does it keep going off, so annoying...

It won't stop, I don't want to stop it...I want it to stop.

Finally half awake, I was somewhat aware of what I was doing as I gripped blindly for my cell to stop the bothersome noise emitting from it.

Hmm?

Taking a double check at my phone, I found that my eyes did not deceive me.

10 new messages? I wonder what's up...

Some of the numbers that had texted I had recognized from a few people I knew at work, but one number had stuck out the most. There were no numbers, and where the caller ID would be, it simply said 'Private Caller'.

"That's a little weird..." I muttered, sitting up in my bed...

I had opened it up, but all it was were a series of numbers and dashes. Hmm... I wonder what it is, maybe just a glitch?

Thinking not too much of it, I had read through the other messages from people at work, practically choking in the process.

"WHAAAT?!" I said a little too loudly, fully awake. "Work's been cancelled..."

Taking a double check, I texted one of the co-workers I was more familiar with. Her name was Umi. She was absolutely amazing.

Grinning slightly as I pulled up her number, I entered into the chatroom, starting to type up a message, only to delete it... Why is this suddenly so hard?! I thought, my face becoming heated of the black-haired girl and her beautiful blue eyes.

Aghh...

Quickly summoning up my courage, I started out a message, figuring I would ask if she replied back.

You: Hi

I looked at the chat bubble. So boring, Ooyama!

Sighing at the small but imperfect achievement, I had waited for a reply.

My eyes practically bulged out of my skull when the notification turned green, and it was marked as read. I gathered my breath, and my heart fluttered with a small hope as she had began to type back.

Umi: Hello, Ooyama, I take it you got the message about work?

You: Actually no, I got so many missed calls, but no voice messages. I was hoping you could explain.

Umi: Of course! No problem! :)

You: Thank you so much!

Umi: Well for starters, work has been canceled until they clean up the mess. We had a break in after closing hours, and a lot of windows were broke, and machines were knocked down. It is still unknown who had done it, and the cameras were already down all day yesterday because of issues with maintenance. It's so weird, cause it's like they had almost planned it, but nobody except boss had known that the cameras were down until it was announced via e-mail. It is still unknown who would have done this, but it's crazy with how many officers were there this morning.

You: WOAH! That's insane!

Umi: I know! It's absolutely crazy!

You: Is it determined what time the cleaning and repair will be done?

Umi: I'm afraid not, but we're hoping sometime soon to get back to work. I heard at the end of the month at the latest.

You: Dang. Thanks for the update, Umi

Umi: Of course! No problem.

I sighed, saying a final thanks to her, and that I had to leave. Perhaps I could talk to her some more sometime. Smiling to myself, I had finally summoned up the strength to pull my tired muscles out of bed. I found myself surprised at the slight soreness of my shoulders.

Probably need to get back into shape before school starts back up.

Sighing, I picked out comfy, casual clothes and headed to go take a shower.

Yuzuru's P.O.V.

"Yuzuru, give it back!"

"No way, Hatsune," I said "Not until you finish your breakfast."

I had ended up cooking her breakfast, since mom had to leave home early.

"There's no time to, I'll be late to meet my friends!"

"Then I suggest you come up with a good excuse on why you'll be late." I said, still holding her small handbag out of her reach.

"Fine!" She yelled, sitting down in her seat, tackling her leftover rice and the small portion of omelette.

"Good." I said quietly, watching her finish the rest.

"Done!" She said triumphantly, trying to snatch the handbag away from me, holding her dishes out towards me.

"What do you say first?" I said, pulling my hand up in time.

She sighed before breaking out in a smile with a "Thank you for breakfast." along with a small bow.

Satisfied, I handed her bag back, taking the dishes from her. "Don't be home late!"

"I won't!" She called from the front door, followed by a small slam as she closed the door, racing down the street.

I sighed, setting the dishes by the sink, slowly untying my cooking apron.

"So troublesome at times." I muttered, rolling up my sleeves to start on washing the dishes and pans that were used to cook breakfast.

THAT TOOK SO LONG TO GET OUT! I am so sorry! I'm a terrible person. Home you enjoy though, heh... well cya all next chapter.
