Summary: The four are on the way back to the café and they will be telling the others about the situation and as things go, they don't take it so well either especially Kishu who'd become a really good close friend to Ichigo almost like a brother so what happens when Aoyama dares to set foot in the café when everyone knows what he's been doing?

Chapter 5 – Not Again!
"We're not all that busy tonight are we?" Mint said glancing about at the customer number they currently had.
"Yeah, and we're usually busier during the end of the summer to," Lettuce replied as she walked by to give Keiichiro an order.
Ryou was upstairs doing something on his computer while everyone downstairs was busy. He was looking about for places he could use for one of his smaller party plans, if worst came to worst he's just use the café, it'd be big enough for the event. The bigger part of his plan however would need a much bigger place, and he wasn't going to use the same place as the last time, he had also came up with the idea of having mixed music. While they were in England looking for Kiwi a few years back, they'd traveled to the north in Scotland as planned after gaining the new member. They got invited to a dance that Kiwi had originally organized earlier that year, and Ryou quite enjoyed it as did the others, his only problem now was to find someone that'd be able to do it, although he'd have to probably ask Kiwi for her help.
"Shirogane-san?" Came a timid voice from the other side of the door. Ryou knew who it was and switched off the monitor just so she wouldn't find out what he was doing just yet.
"Come in."
Ichigo popped her head through the door, a small faint smile on her face. She let herself into the room and closed the door behind her then looked up to Ryou.
"I see you're dressed properly for a change." She smirked, she felt a bit better now. In fact she seemed to forget about what happened yesterday with Aoyama. Ryou raised a brow at her comment and crossed his arms over his chest.
"And just what is that suppose to mean, Ichigo?"
"Nothing, I'm kidding. Ne, I just wanted to say thanks for earlier."
"Oh, it's nothing. Shouldn't you be working?"
"We're just getting ready to clear up, haven't you seen the time?"
"As a matter of fact, I haven't." Ryou replied in a low mutter as he turned to look at the clock which clearly stated that it was indeed time for closing up.
"Ok, I'll be down in a moment. Think you could do me a small favour?"
"What do you want me to do?"
"Ask Keiichiro to come up. I need to discuss something with him, and also ask Kiwi if she could wait behind for a minute or two."
"Sure thing." Ichigo replied, seeing herself out of his room and downstairs to fetch Keiichiro. Keiichiro sauntered upstairs when the last customers were out and the girls and the aliens began to clear up.
"Kiwi, Ryou wants you to wait behind for some reason." Ichigo informed the older girl in the changing room.
"Ok," She replied.
"Ichigo, do you want one of us to walk home with you?" Zakuro asked the red haired girl just as she was ready for leaving the room. Ichigo stopped and turned, canting her head.
"Nah, I'll be fine. We haven't had any trouble so far."
"Well, if you're entirely sure, then we'll see you tomorrow." Mint said a little concerned about her going home alone after the other days performance. Ichigo got questioned by Kishu about going alone to, and he got the same answer as she gave the girls. She left the café and began to walk down the path on route to her house, and unknown to her there was something amiss.
Upstairs in the café, Ryou was discussing the final plans he'd come up with for the parties he felt like doing.
"I think that we should maybe have a small karaoke night within the café within the next few weeks maybe, and then nearer Christmas I think we should host a proper dance again?"
"That sounds a good plan, I'll be up for it. What sort of things are we planning for music?" Keiichiro asked as his eyes scanned the typed up list that Ryou had made.
"Well, I was thinking, something like the first one we held when we had Ichigo, Mint and Lettuce in the team, and also maybe some the music we heard when we were abroad."
"What was it called again?"
"Don't have a clue, that's why I asked Ichigo, to ask kiwi to stay behind, she'll have a better idea of who we could possibly get to do some."
"Fair enough, anyway shall we get going? I think the girls already left. Kishu, Pai and Tart should be clearing up."
"Did Ichigo go alone?" Ryou asked a little paranoid.
"I don't think so. Zakuro said something about walking her home to me earlier."
"Thank god for that. I was about to go into paranoid mode."
"You shouldn't worry too much, Ryou."
The boys made their way downstairs and into the café area, they had just finished clearing up. Keiichiro had gone into the kitchen to see what he had for tomorrow, and there was hardly anything. They'd have to get some things from the store not to far from the café before it closed for the night.
"Kishu, Tart would you two be able to run to the store that's five minutes away and get some stuff for me for tomorrow, please? I'll give you a list of what I'm needing."
"Sure, we'll be back in no time at all, come on Tart."
The two left the store to get the items as soon as they received the list, Keiichiro helped Pai clear up the kitchen while Ryou talked to Kiwi about the music.
Ichigo turned down an alley which would lead her to the store that Kishu would be going to. Her phone rang, she took it out the pocket of her jacket and stopped in her tracks when she saw who the caller was.
"A-Ao-Aoyama, what do y-y-you want?"
"You." The phone cut off after that and a sound of a trashcan falling came from behind her. She jumped and put the phone back into her pocket and ran as fast as she could, doubling back after he reached the corner, or she would have if she hadn't collided into someone, and that someone was someone that she didn't want to see.
"Found you, Ichigo."
