Chpt.2
"Hey Ichigo," Lettuce greeted me when I entered my history class
"Hi Lettuce," I said taking an empty seat next to her
"Just so you know Ryou is planning to open the bar today, and he said that he needs to see you," Lettuce said as I got a confused look
"Why didn't he call me about it?"
"He told me that you had your cell phone off," Lettuce said then that's when I remembered that I turned my cell phone off at 5:00pm yesterday
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that, but why does he need to see me?" I asked
"Two reasons, 1) you need to try on your uniform and 2) you need-" Lettuce was saying but was interrupted by our teacher coming in
"Settle down settle down, class is beginning, now, my name is Hannah Whitmore, but just call me professor, now let's get down to what we are going over and what you are expected to do," Professor said as she sat in her desk so since Lettuce didn't finish what she was saying I passed a note to her
So what else did I need besides my uniform?-Ichigo a.k.a I
I'm sorry Ichigo but Ryou made me promise to not write anything that has to do with his experiment-Lettuce a.k.a L
Do you follow everything that Ryou says, and why can't you tell me about the second thing?-I
Because he's my cousin and it's about your DNA-L
Oh, and why didn't you tell me he was your cousin?-I
I don't know I thought that it was obvious, anyway remember to come by the bar it's very important-L
"So you need to inject this into my bloodstream so I can have powers?" I asked Ryou when I arrived at the bar to start my first day of being a bartender/waitress
"Yep, so are you ready for me to inject it inside of you?" Ryou asked as he held up a gunlike device and I looked at Lettuce for comfort
"Don't worry, Ryou says that it only hurts if you get injected within two feet, and he's only three feet away from you," Lettuce said making me relax
"Okay I'm ready, fire away," I said as Ryou aimed but before he could pull the trigger someone blinked in and took the device away
"Kish give it back!" Lettuce yelled to a green haired elf eared boy who had some sort of futuristic sunglasses covering his eyes
"Why should I, so you humans could ruin our plans? I don't think so," Kish said dodging Ryou's punch by blinking next to me
"Now, why don't we make you suffer?" Kish said with a smirk as he held the device near my open shocked mouth, I wanted to stop it but for some reason I wasn't able to hurt him, it was like he put me in a spell
"Don't Kish, if you do it then you die!" Lettuce yelled as a wall of water surrounded Kish but all he did was just smile and he pulled the trigger and I felt some sort of point like a wasp stick on my throat which made me scream in pain and black out.
For what seemed like a couple of minutes I woke up and found myself in a empty room with a laptop on a desk and a bed and a bathroom that was in front of the bathroom door "What happened?" I said under my breath as I sat on top of the bed that I was laying on then Ryou, and Keiichiro came in
"Hello Ichigo how are you feeling?" Keiichiro asked
"I'm just feeling a little dizzy, what happened?" I asked them remembering that Kish injected something to me through my mouth
"You passed out and Lettuce had to defeat Kish while we bought you up here...now hurry up the bar opens in 10 minutes," Ryou said placing a white box in front of me then he and Keiichiro left closing the door so I opened the box and found a pink bikini top with tee shirt style sleeves, across the part that was supposed to be on my chest was the words SugarMew Bar, and there was matching pink shorts that ended an inch above my knees and they had a pink and red beaded cat on the right side of my pockets and there was a red beaded swirl on the bottom left part of my shorts, and pink knee high boots so I locked the door and started changing, and when I looked in the mirror I was surprised to see that my cat ears and cat tail went away so I went downstairs to try and find Ryou
"Wow Ichigo, you look nice," Lettuce said when I came down
"Arigato, and you look cool," I said looking at Lettuce's green tee shirt with the words Sugar Mew Bar across the bar her green shorts with a yellow beaded dolphin jumping out of a yellow beaded wave on the left side of her shorts and she also had knee high boots only they were green
"Hey do you know where Ryou is?" I asked her
"Yeah he's supposed to be in the kitchen looking for supplies for the bar," Lettuce said then I thanked her and walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Ichigo, you look great," Ryou said when I walked up to him
"Thanks but do you know what happened to my ears and tail?" I asked him picking up a blender to help him
"They were supposed to go away for good once I injected you, but since Kish injected you so close they pop up every once in a while, like when you get excited or nervous," Ryou said putting some alcohol bottles on a shelf that was under the counter
"Oh man, now I can't stay around Aoyama-kun too long, I'm going to kill Kish next time I see him!" I said making a fist then Ryou placed a cap over my head
"Your tail and ears are showing, I told you not to get excited," Ryou said dragging me into the kitchen so nobody would see me since there was people already standing outside waiting for us to open.
A few minutes later I started on finding everyone a seat "Welcome to Sugar Mew Bar, how many people are in your group?" I asked a brown hair green eyed college student
"Hey aren't you Ichigo, Masaya's girlfriend?" the student asked me which made me have a confused look
"Uh...I'm not his girlfriend yet but I know him, and you are?"
"The name's Kyle Manthis, I'm Masaya's roommate," Kyle said shaking my hand
"So, um...are you the only one because people are starting to get annoyed," Ichigo said hearing the complaints of customers
"Oh yeah, it's just me," Kyle said so I gave him an empty seat at the counter.
"Welcome to Sugar Mew Bar, how many people are in your group?" I asked a thirty year old man
"Just me, but I can turn it into just us," The man said with a lopsided grin and a mischievous look in his eyes
'EW!" I thought as I rolled my eyes a little
"Sorry, I'm already engaged," I lied as I guided him to the bar counter and I walked really fast ahead of him because I was afraid he would touch my butt.
"Man can you believe some thirty year old dude tried to flirt with me?" I asked Lettuce when she walked by the table that I just cleaned up
"Well this is a bar and we're both wearing outfits that are considered sexy," Lettuce said as she set a tray with two beer bottles in front of a couple
"I'm going to go talk to Ryou about this," I said as I took a woman's order for a strawberry margintina.
"Hey Ryou why the heck are we wearing these kind of outfits?" I asked Ryou as I poured some strawberries into a blender
"Business reasons," Ryou said handing a college student a beer bottle
"Only a hetai would think of forcing his female employees to wear outfits like this," I said pouring a strawberry margintina into a glass cup
"Well if someone flirts with you then all you have to do is tell me and I'll just kick them out," Ryou said facing me
"Oh now you tell me, you could've told me this before...oh shoot it's Masaya," I said crouching behind the counter when I saw Aoyama-kun in the doorway
"Just try to be calm and show him a seat," Ryou said going back to work so I stood up and walked towards the front where Masaya was standing
"Ichigo, hi I never knew you worked here," Masaya said with a smile
"Well that's because I just got hired last week and this is my first day since the bar opened today for the first time," I said feeling a little nervous but I tried to calm down a little
"Do you want a drink on your break?" Masaya asked me as I showed him his seat near the bar counter
"Sure, my break's in five minutes, right Ryou," I said smiling at Masaya
"Whatever, but it's only a ten minute break," Ryou said pouring a margintina in a glass cup
"So I'll see you in five minutes," Masaya said with a smile as I nodded and hurriedly walked to the kitchen so my cat ears and cat tail could pop out.
"Let me guess someone made you nervous?" Keiichiro asked me when he saw my ears and tail as he placed supplies near the door so Ryou could get them easier
"Yeah, and I really want to go out with him but I always get tongue tied whenever I think about it, do you have any suggestions?" I asked as my ears and tail disappeared
"Well you could always ask him to go to someplace, just ask him to go to a place that you think he'll like," Keiichiro suggested making me smile
"Now why haven't I thought of that, arigato Keiichiro," I said walking out of the kitchen since my break came.
"Uh, Ichigo how many bottles of beer did you have?" Masaya asked me when I was drunk
"What comes after six, thirty? Then it's thirty," I said in a drunken voice as I reached for another beer bottle but then Masaya grabbed my hand and stopped me
"I think you've had enough for one night," Masaya said starting to get up but I still stayed
"No oniisama I don't want to go back to ballet," I said with a weird grin on my face
"I think she won't make it to her apartment, I'll take care of her," Ryou said to Masaya leaning on the counter
"And where're you going to keep her?" Masaya asked Ryou with a For-all-I-know-you-might-try-to-sleep-with-her look
"In my room upstairs, and I'll sleep in my living room, and don't worry I won't sleep with your girlfriend," Ryou said putting my hair in a ponytail so when I throw up I won't get my hair dirty
"Okay, but if she comes up to me and tells me that you did something to her I'll kill you, and she's not my girlfriend, she's not really my type, I think of her as a sister," Masaya said getting up to leave
"You know if she finds out from you, you'll break her heart," Ryou warned Masaya as he put me in his arms to carry me to his room
"I know, that's why you'll tell her," Masaya said leaving me and Ryou before Ryou could say anything, so Ryou carried me up the stairs to his "apartment".
"Shirogane-san what happened to Ichigo?" Lettuce asked Ryou when she saw me throwing up in Ryou's bathroom
"She got drunk while she was with Masaya," Ryou explained looking at Lettuce
"Oh okay, well I guess I'll close up, goodbye, I'll see you guys tomorrow, since I have a day off," Lettuce said walking away leaving me and Ryou alone
"Oh god, I really should listen to my parents," I said rinsing my mouth out at the sink
"Let me guess you need to drink a certain amount otherwise you'd get drunk?" Ryou said sarcastically
"Well excuse me but I was trying really hard to make sure that I was calm so my ears and tail wouldn't pop out," I said then I rushed back to the toilet to throw up some more
"This better be the last time you get drunk," Ryou said looking away from me by resting his forehead on his hands
"I can't promise you that, this isn't the first time I got drunk, last time I was almost arrested for being at a high school party and drinking when I was only sixteen," I said making my hair go back into a ponytail since some strands of hair fell out
"Well next time it'll be easier because I'll make sure you don't get drunk," Ryou said helping me stand up to lay down on his bed
"I would really appreciate it, thanks for letting me stay here tonight," I said as I fell into a deep sleep on Ryou's warm comfortable bed.
TBC
A/N:There's the dreaded cliffe, I know that this chapter took place mostly in the bar but I really couldn't think of anything and FYI Ichigo doesn't remember about what Masaya said before he left because she was drunk, and don't think that I was ever drunk because I'm only 13 years old. Anywho here's the glossary:
hetai: pervert
arigato:thank you
oniisama: big brother
And of course here's the sneak peek and to think that this's the first fanfiction that I haven't wrote in a notebook:
"Hey, Ichigo, there's something that you need to know," Ryou said to me when he came back from the kitchen and placed some supplies ont top of the counter
"Can't this wait? I have to get ready, for all we know I might actually have my first kiss with Masaya," I said as I put some strawberry flavored lip gloss on my lips
"I know he's defitly not going to kiss you," Ryou said crossing his arms and leaning against the bar counter
"Shut up you're always being rude to me, and when something good is finally going to happen to me you can't even be happy for me, I hate you, I always have and always will and nothing you or anybody does can ever make me to change my mind!" I yelled to him as I looked at him with an angry expression in my eyes
"Fine, I won't tell you, good luck on your date, but when he says something to you that'll hurt you don't come crying to me," Ryou said walking towards the stairs while I stomped out of the bar
"Oh and before I forget, I QUIT!" I yelled then I ran out not even waiting for him to say anything.
Wow Ichigo quit, and all for a guy that doesn't even love her. So is this good or bad? Tell me in a review. Adios!
