Chapter 11. Retasu likes you. She really likes you

"Ryou? Ryou what? What happened? I'm all ears." Ichigo said as she tried to calm her friend down.

"R-ryou... he... loves... someone... else... not me... not me... he doesn't love me... doesn't love me..." Retasu was stammering and shivering at the same time.

Her eyes look liked she was hypnotized.

"Oh, don't worry, Ryou's gonna get it from me. That sick freak." Ichigo said as she ran out of Retasu's house.

She knew that Cafe Mew was a long way.

But she didn't care.

She had to set things right.

She ran to Cafe Mew.

When she reached there she barged in the door.

"RYOU!" She shouted.

All the customers and workers looked at her.

Ichigo looked around, he wasn't there.

Ichigo played with her fingers "hehe" and she ran to the backdoor.

She opened the door and found Ryou sitting on the floor, with no shirt on.

The eyes of Retasu and Ryou looked the same.

"Ryou, you freak!" Ichigo shouted.

Ryou looked up and saw Ichigo .

"Why aren't you working? (Ryou looks down then looks at Ichigo) GO TO WORK NOW! " Ryou shouted.

"oh no, Ryou, no , not today. I'm not following your orders today. Why did you do that? Retasu's a good girl and you stepped all over her like a doormat. She likes you Ryou. She likes you ALOT! Why?"

"That's not my fault, that was Yu-"

"See and now you're blaming other people!" Ichigo shouted.

Ryou kept quiet.

"You should be ashamed of yourself!" Ichigo said as she swung her hand and slapped Ryou on the same cheek as Retasu when she slapped him.

"Thank goodness Masaya is not like you!" Ichigo said as she left Cafe Mew and back to Retasu's house.

Retasu was still crying her eyes out.

"Retasu... It's Ichigo. Ryou's not gonna bug you anymore. Believe me . "

Ichigo heard a faint sound from Retasu

"I still love him, Ichigo. But I don't want to get hurt anymore. I don't wanna get hurt. I don't want..." Retasu said .

Ichigo felt great pity for her friend and hugged her.

Ichigo made a few phone calls. Retasu didn't know what she was planning, but in around 2 hours Zakuro, Purin and Minto arrived on her door.

Retasu had stopped crying.

Zakuro, Purin, Minto and Ichigo tried their best to calm her down.

Minto said "What a freak."

Zakuro said nothing but she often patted Retasu's shoulder.

Purin tried to make Retasu happy with her tricks but it didn't seem to work.

Ichigo, Zakuro, Minto and Purin had a slumber party on Retasu's house and it seemed to work

In a few minutes, Retasu was happy again (because she forgot about Ryou).
