Chapter 3

Enter Mews

Oniyuri breathed a sigh of relief, and threw herself back onto the bed after Ryou left the room. She didn't know why, but being alone with him made her nervous. Oddly enough, she was tempted to follow him around though.

Just then there was a quiet knock at the door, and a petite red-headed girl snuck in the room. She looked at Oniyuri and put her finger to her lips, signaling for quiet. She walked over and sat down on the bed next to Oniyuri.

"Hi. I'm Ichigo," the girl whispered, "Ryou said to leave you alone, so he can't know I'm up here talking to you."

"I'm Oniyuri, I guess. Why doesn't Ryou want you to visit me?"

"He says you need your rest," Ichigo replied,"but the other girls that work here, and I were wondering if you'd rather go out with us for a little while. We thought that maybe you would see something that would help you remember."

"I would love to go, but I don't have any other clothes, and these aren't really great for shopping." Oniyuri replied.

Ichigo and Oniyuri both looked dubiously at her clothing. She was wearing a white t-shirt and a pair of boxers.

"Those must be Ryou's clothes." Ichigo stated, "Don't worry I'll bring you some clothes. You're about the same build as Zakura. Maybe she'll loan you some."

With that the girl was gone leaving Oniyuri to wonder what she had gotten herself into. Oniyuri didn't have long to wonder. Ichigo was back I less than five minutes, with amazing clothes.

"Here you go!" Ichigo said excitedly.

Ichigo laid the clothes out on the bed for Oniyuri's inspection. Oniyuri looked over a short black school girl skirt, an ice blue fitted t-shirt, and ice blue flip-flops.

"These are great! I love the blue and black." Oniyuri exclaimed

"Zakura said that the blue would match your eyes and the black would match your hair." Ichigo said.

"Are my eyes really that color?" Oniyuri asked.

Oniyuri had seen her hair color already because it was extremely long, and kept getting in her way. Although she had to admit that the thick, wavy, raven colored hair was pretty.

"They are actually a couple shades lighter, they look kind of like the blue color that reflects of the snow in twilight, or looking at the sky through an ice cube. Well, I'm not very good at descriptions, so here let me show you." Ichigo said reaching into her purse for something.

Ichigo held up a mirror so Oniyuri could see herself. Oniyuri then had the chance to do something many of us wish to do, she saw herself through a stranger's eyes. She had no memory to be biased about her looks, and had to admit, if she saw herself walking down the street, she would think she was pretty. She had tall cheek bones, icy blue eyes, and her face was properly proportioned.

Oniyuri gathered up the clothes and went into the bathroom to dress. When she came out a couple of minutes later, all the girls were there.

"Hello, I'm Lettuce"

"Hi! I'm Pudding. Wanna see a trick?"

"I am Zakura, charmed I'm sure."

"I'm Mint, isn't Zakura great?"

"I'm Oniyuri, Thank you for the clothing and the shopping invite."

"No problem, but before we go," Ichigo said, "Ryou wants to check you over and make sure you're well enough to go. If you go out this door, and turn left, his lab is at the very end. We'll wait for you in the café, which is just down those stairs to the right."

"Um, thank you." Oniyuri replied nervously.

Oniyuri left as soon as the girls left her room. She walked towards the door at the end of the hall, feeling as though she should turn around and run.
