Author's Notes: OMG, I AM SOOOOO SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG FOR THE UPDATE! I BLAME MY LANGUAGE ARTS TEACHER! PLEASE DON'T HUNT ME DOWN AND DECAPITATE ME WITH A PLASTIC FORK! Ahem… um… anyway… for all of you who have actually noticed that Ichigo's mother's real name is Sakura and that I call her Miyuki, it is because I don't want people getting mixed up. I also know that Ichigo's father's name isn't Jiro, I was just too lazy to look it up. Anyway, please enjoy Chapter 11!
Renee – Thank you so much for the compliment! I am aware that Ryou likes Ichigo, and I am a fan of the Ryou/Ichigo couple. However, in this story…

Cherries and Pears – Chapter 11
When Sakura reached downstairs again, she contained a sort of 'calm, comfortable, and content' attitude. Lettuce, who was passing her by, greeted her politely.
"Hello, Lettuce," Sakura replied.
"What were you doing upstairs?" Lettuce asked. Sakura blushed.
"Oh, um, I was just, um, thanking Ryou about something, that's all," Sakura told her. "Have you seen Nashi-chan?"
"Oh, she's with Keiichiro-san over there," Lettuce answered, pointing to the two. Nashi was eating her warm bun happily and was talking with Keiichiro. Sakura thanked Lettuce and made her way past all the customers to the table where Nashi and Keiichiro sat.
"Hello, Sakura onee-chan!" Nashi grinned cheerfully.
"Hi, Nashi-chan," Sakura responded.
"Sakura, Nashi is quite a cute, little angel, did you know that?" Keiichiro said.
"Of course I did," Sakura chuckled. "Hey, Nashi-chan, maybe we should leave now. There might be some customers waiting for a table."
"What?" Nashi whined. "But I don't want to leave!"
"…Okay…" Sakura sighed. "I'll be in the park if you need me."
"All right!" Nashi agreed, going back to her happy self. "See you later, Sakura onee-chan!"
"See you later," Sakura called over her shoulder, leaving Café Mew Mew.
Author's Notes: For those of you who are wondering, I couldn't make chapter 11 part of chapter 10 because the moods are totally different. Chapter 10's mood is dazed, confused, and sad while chapter 11's mood is calm, comfortable, and content. It makes sense, doesn't it?
