Ch 1 Shadow from the Past

Berii made her way through the crowded streets of Tokyo to the familiar Café that she spent her days working.

"Good Morning Berii!" Pudding shouted as she greeted Berii with a hug.

"Good Morning Pudding, Lettuce, Mint, and Zakuro. How are things this morning?"

"Very good," Lettuce replied "Ichigo called this morning from London, she says hi. She was also telling me how she got tickets to see this Dance competition in November. (A/N Right now it's July)"

"A Dancing competition! I wanna go! I wanna go! I can show every one my spinning plates trick! I have been practicing! See look! I've gotten better!"

"Pudding Be careful with those plates we have already had to order 200 extra ones because you broke some!" Berii Said

"Don't worry! Like I said I have been practicing." Pudding replied as she started to dance around to celebrate the fact that she had gotten better. While dancing Pudding bumped into the table Mint was drinking her tea creating a domino effect, causing the table to bump into Lettuce and Lettuce to bump into the spinning plates. There was a loud crash when the plates hit the floor and broke into a million pieces.

"Pudding! Looking what you did! You ruined my tea set passed down from my grandmother!" Mint shouted storming out of the café to cool off.

"Are you okay Lettuce?" Ryou said walking out of the kitchen to see what was going on.

"I'm fine," Lettuce replied, "Just a little cut."

"I'll get you a Band-aid," Berii said walking in back to get one. "Here you go,"

"Thanks, Berii" Lettuce replied.

"I guess you guys should get started on cleaning the mess up after all we will be getting busy in an hour or so." (A/N ; )

Closing time

"Wow! Another day has gone by so fast!" Lettuce commented when she finished clearing off the last table.

"You are all lucky you can go home and relax. I have to model tonight for a new clothing brand."

"Wow Zakuro! You're so pretty no wonder you're a model. It must be hard to stay in shape." Berii said enviously

"Zakuro has been a model since she was11 years old so she is used to it" Mint replied (A/N mint came back later that day)

"We'll I'll be off I don't want to be late."

"Bye Zakuro!" Mint Called

"Well I'll be leaving now too." Mint said

"Bye Mint see you tomorrow" Berii and Lettuce both said to her as she walked out the door

"I have everything all set here Berii, You can start heading home if you want."

"Are you sure Lettuce? If you need help I don't mind helping"

"Nope I got it all taken care of. I'll see you tomorrow Berii"

"Okay I'll see you Tomorrow, Lettuce" Berii said walking out of the café

I guess I should pick up some dinner for myself on the way back home Berii thought to herself. Berii walked into a convenience store and bought some sushi and rice along with some sweets for desert. As Berii walked out of the store she saw something familiar in a window across the street. She ran quickly to the corner and crossed while the light was still green, signaling that she could cross safely. As she got closer to the window Berii could tell it belonged to a dance studio.

When Berii was in front of the window she knew now why it looked so familiar, in the window was a pink satin dress below it was a picture of her and her dance partner, Hiromi. They were posing for a picture before the finals of the competition, before he…..No! Berii thought, I'm not going to think about that night, It's over with there is nothing I can do to change what happened. Berii took one last look at the photograph, she wore a pink satin dress similar to the one in the window with her long blonde hair pulled into an elegant updo flashing the camera her best smile while Hiromi had his arm around her shoulder, he wore a black tux with a bowtie, and had his light brown hair slicked back, showing a genuine smile, he looks like he could be the happiest man in the world, She thought.

Berii turned around and continued walking home. The rest of the way home Berii tried to get rid of the sinking feeling in her heart. Berii was concentrating so hard on cheering herself up that she didn't notice a shadow following her….
