Good Fortune Ch. 7

Ichigo woke up to the sound of her alarm clock, only to find that, for once, she wasn't going to be late.

"Ha! Now lets see what Mint and Ryou are going to say when I get there early, well on time at least…"

She rushed over to her bureau to brush her hair and change. In 10 minutes she was out the door and on her way to the Café.

When she walked, no walked wouldn't be the right word, when she strutted through the doors of the café she paid no mind to the startled Mint, tripping lettuce, wide eyed pudding, or the…normal Zakuro, she just walked right into the changing room.

"Whoa, was I hallucinating, or did Ichigo get here ON TIME?" Mint asked, still astonished.

"Nope, she is here on time," Zakuro said ending the conversation.

Just after that was confirmed Ichigo walked out of the changing room and started washing tables, that is until she noticed the lack of one blond haired boss.

"Hey, where's Ryou?"

"He's…sick," Keiichiro replied walking out of the kitchen, "he hasn't been feeling well."

'That's odd, he said he was fine yesterday…'

"It's nothing bad, he should be better by tomorrow."

"Okay then…"

---

Ryou was sitting on his bed in his room staring at the clock.

'hmm…Ichigo and the others will be getting off work in a few minutes…Gah this is boring, I could at least turn on some music.'

Ryou reached his hand over and turned on his clock radio, and heard a certain song.

You're beautiful

You're beautiful

You're beautiful it's true,

I saw your face in a crowded place,

The song was starting to bug Ryou but, for some reason, he couldn't seem to turn it off.

And I don't know what to do,

Cause I'll never be with you,

---

Down in the café, everyone heard a loud crash, coming from Ryou's room.

"WHAT THE….!" Was the response everyone in the café had, which was just the workers there.

Ichigo raced upstairs followed by the rest, and slammed open the door. To find Ryou sitting on his bed and, on the wall across from him, a large dent in the wall and a completely destroyed clock underneathe the dent.

"…Eh…what the…Ryou, what happened?" Ichigo said slowly, slightly afraid…

"Uhh…" Ryou said looking at her, he didn't exactly know why he chucked the clock against the wall. The last verse of that song just really got to him for some reason.

"I don't…really know…"

Ichigo just stood there, 5…4…3…2…1…

"HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW?"

Although the explosion was expected, it still made Ryou flinch. Suddenly Ichigo calmed down and turned to Keiichiro.

"He doesn't look sick to me…"

"Y-yes well-" Keiichiro started only to be cut off by,

"Why did you tell them I was sick?"

Everyone turned to Ryou.

"Wait sooo… you're not sick?" said Mint, "Then why weren't you at work?"

"I didn't feel like going, now will you please get out room."

Everyone turned to leave but Ichigo had a few more words to say…

"You…didn't FEEL like going!" that stopped everyone in their tracks.

"Uh..oh…" was the whispered reply from Lettuce.

"Does that mean if I don't feel like going to work I can just not come! And it's your fault we're up here in the first place!" with that said she stomped off down the stairs and into the changing room followed by everyone else, except Keiichiro.

"Keiichiro, why did you tell them I was sick?"

"You wouldn't come down and that would be harder to explain, and I still don't know why you wont."

"As I said to them I don't feel like it."

"Okay then Ryou," Keiichiro said before exiting the room, and closing the door.

"I have my reasons Keiichiro and so I can't…"

I know I know it's short but I'm really trying! But for right now I can hardly think of anything at all so thank you for reading and reviewing it helps a lot!
