Sakura mopped the floors, and cleaned the gunk off from under the table. She scrubbed the bathrooms and she gave the counter a once over. She pulled her keys from behind the bar and put on her coat. She tucked her long black hair into the back of her coat, and turned off the downstairs lights.

Sakura was working her third shift straight at the diner. She was the last one left in the whole place, the boss always made her stay late. The moon was just peaking through the blinds. Customers proceeded to knock on the door, despite the vividly colored "closed" sign. She rolled her hazel eyes. People these days, its like they all forgot how to read. She walked up towards the door to tell them to get lost, but she hesitated. These peticular customers were two boys. They looked tough and she could tell they were pretty drunk. She decided to wait until they left before opening the door, she didn't want to get jumped or raped, but the two boysjust kept knocking. In any other diner she would have called the police... but they would never show up in time anyway, they were worthless in this niehborhood...that's why she had to get out, and soon.

Knock.Knock. "please let us in pretty lady" said the uglier of the two

"we just need to make a phone call, our car isn't working" said the cuter one

With a sigh Sakura decided she should let them in, she could sympathize with thier situation. Her car had broken down too many times to count. She twisted the metal lock and let them in. One of them was tall with orange hair and an ugly face,really ugly,the kind of face only a mother could love. The other was shorter but with black hair and brown eyes, he was cute but definetly not her type. She led them behind the bar to where the phone was. The cuter one used the phone, while the the ugly one hovered over him.

"hello?" said a voice on the other end of the reciever

"HEY! How are you...listen we need a ride.." said the cute one

"Yusuke? Why do you need a ride... and where are you?" asked the voice

"Me and Kuwabara got into an accident and umm...yeah..and..wooh thats all I remember!" said Yusuke

"where are you?" asked the voice

"I don't know..in some diner" said Yusuke

"then how am I supposed to get you? Why don't you think for a minute, then call me back" said the voice

"HEY! WAIT, DON'T HANG UP! SERIOUSLY MAN, COME ON" said Yusuke

"I'm still here, will you stop shouting?" asked the voice

"yeah, whatever, anyway...there is this lady here, she could probably tell you where we are!" said Yusuke

"Okay" said the voice

Yusuke handed her the phone. Sakura felt as if they had stretched their favor..but she would talk to this person if it would get her home faster.

"yes" she said into the reciever

"Can you tell me the address of your diner?" asked the voice

"um yes, 132-78 on Main street next to the giant beer billboard and in front of the closed down strip club" said Sakura

"thankyou and sorry for the trouble" said the voice

" your welcome" said Sakura even though she didn't mean it.

"I'll be there soon" the voice said in a way that gave Sakura goosebumps

She hung up the phone and turned to the two boys.

"I guess he's coming then, so you guys can go on and wait outside" said Sakura

"hey its cold out there" said Yusuke

"well talk to someone else about it.. I've got school in the morning" said Sakura

"so do we" said Yusuke

"well cry me a river" said Sakura

"Hey give me the keys, I'll lock up for you and bring you the keys tomorrow morning" said Yusuke

"there is no way!" said Sakura

"then I guess you'll have to wait with us then" said Yusuke

"you little- " started Sakura

"oh come on, relax whats a few minutes between friends?" asked Yusuke Sarcastically

"excuse me!" exclaimed Sakura

"your too cute tobe this mean" said Yusuke

"I said leave!" said Sakura

"come on, when our ride gets here we'll leave...if it takes more than half and hour we'll wait outside" said Yusuke

"well, half an hour does seem like a long time to wait in that cold, so I guess sleep can wait" said Sakura

"thankyou" said Yusuke


About twenty minutes later a red car pulled up in front of the diner, and a figure got out of it. It was dark and all Sakura could see was his slim figure walking toward the diner until he was in front of the door. If the other boy was cute than he was breathtakingly handsome. He had long red hair and bright green eyes. He knocked on the door and Sakura realized she had been staring. She opened the door to let him and he stretched his hand to greet her almost immedietly.

"hello, I'm Suiichi" He said shaking her hand

"uh, hello... nice to meet you" she said shaking his hand.

Despite the cold outside his hand was surprisingly warm. The kind of warm that spread from your fingers to your face and makes you blush. She could feel the blood rushing to her face. But he seemed not to notice it, or rather he ignored it.

"come on let's go you guys" he said to his friends

Yusuke and Kuwabara walked out the door and into his car. Yusuke clambored into the passenger's side while Kuwabara stumbled into the back seat.

"It really was nice to meet you" Suiichi said smiling

"same here, bye" said Sakura

HONK! HONK! "come on Kurama we are burning moonlight" said Yusuke

"Kurama?" Sakura asked

"nickname" He said walking to his car.
