Chapter Two

The day following

Amane's eyes flew open. It was early noon. Around 10:30. But Ryou and Malik knew she usually slept till noon on weekends. She was afraid they might be down in the kitchen together. Nude...Because Malik didn't like his or Ryou's room enough. She shook her head no. She needed to grab something to eat, but she didn't want to budge. Her eyes slid closed again

Amane's eyes flew open once again. "FUCK!" she almost fell out of bed. "I was supposed to go to work early today! Otogi's going to be so angry!" She flew to her closet, putting on her work clothes, as she called them, though it was just black and red to please Otogi.

Amane slid down the stairs with out a trace of her presence. As son as her hand met the handle of the door, a hand firm hand placed on her shoulder. Thru her hurry, she screamed. Though she heard a friendly, familiar chuckled and twirled around. "Oh. Hi Ryou-Kun." She said shaking.

Ryou just chuckled again. "You haven't eaten breakfast yet..." he said faking a hurt expression. "No time. Chikoku da work." She said. "Oh, Amane? My sister wanted to speak with you...something about, Bakura..."

"Good morning miss Amane!" a woman said, smiling softly. Amane quickly glanced over and shrugged. "Oh. Hey there." Amane was still upset, even depressed about Bakura's 'almost' rape incident. She stared hard at her. "Are you feeling okay, miss-""Oh? Good morning again, Amane." She smiled. "Hey Otogi." he stepped out of the elevator quickly.

"And how is a beautiful girl like you, doing?" Amane blushed a bit and smiled. "I'm doing very well. And a wonderful boss like you?" he chuckled. "Shop opened almost half an hour ago. Sleep in late?" he asked. Amane blushed and looked as embarrassed as they come. "Uh...for got to set my alarm..."

The bell above the door chimed and the three glanced over to Joey. Amane almost jumped over the counter and hugged him. "Jono! Gonichiwa!" she said smiling. He smiled back. "Hey, Amane." He winked so she just blushed and grinned. 'Gods he's so cute...' she thought.

"What are you here for, Joey?" Otogii asked leaning over the counter. Joey glared at him. "Well I thought I would check in on some of my friends. But I guess I'm not welcome here..." he sighed sadly and turned to leave. "No wait!" Amane did in fact jump over the counter and hugged him." I want you to stay..." Joey wrapped his arms around her. This was the only reason it felt wrong. They weren't dating...yet. Soon he would ask her out and hopefully succeed on getting a girlfriend.

Otogi chuckled and walked back over to the elevator. "I got to get back to my office and work. Don't get TOO frisky down here." he joked. As soon as the doors closed, she smiled up at Joey.

"Issho ni kaero. ((Let's walk home together.))" Amane's eyes twinkled and she nodded. "Hai!"
