The cat girl slumped down the hallway, kicked open the door and carelessly threw herself onto her bed. She lay on her back, staring at her plain, calm coloured ceiling, and urged herself to mimic it.
Since she had fled from Ryou her mind was like a raging whirlpool that devoured the memories of her day, tearing them apart, and then blending them back together again to create a mass of jumbled and very confusing thoughts.
She sighed inwardly, and tried to focus on what had happened earlier at the café.
Her mind kept replaying what Ryou had said to her. I can't believe he thought it was rape, she thought to herself dismally.
Truthfully she felt slightly relieved that he suspected that because it would help her to postpone telling her friends the truth, but it still made her feel guilty that she was keeping everything from them.
Why does everything have to be so complicated? Her mind screamed.
Meanwhile, back in the café, the outraged blonde was still stood in the closet, staring at the wall, also trying to calm himself down.
He was trying to make sense of what had just happened and why Ichigo had acted the way she had, but every time he tried to think of a logical explanation the image of Kish licking his Ichigo's ear would flash back into his mind, enraging him further.
Ryou froze and slapped himself on the forehead. He was starting to loose it.
My Ichigo? He thought and laughed to himself. I'm starting to sound like that perverted little fucker… He shook his head.
I don't even like the little brat; he lied to himself, then excited the closet and went back into the kitchen.
Turning away from the cooker, Keiichiro looked at him curiously. "What was all that about?" He quizzed and walked over to the closet and poked his head inside. Ryou sighed.
"I'll tell you later, when the customers have gone."
"Okay," The chef replied. Ryou was just about to walk into the main café area when the brunette opened his mouth again.
"I take it you already know there are pink pants on the floor?"
"WHAT!"
Finally, with much effort and willpower, the mew leader had managed to have calmed her nerves and slowly sat up and looked around her room for something constructive to do.
Cat-like orbs skimmed around the room, over her bed, over the carpet, over the dressing table, then suddenly halted to a stop and fixed on something pink attached to her mirror.
That's weird, she thought. That wasn't there before. She stood up and walked closer, and realised it was a note. Peeling it off of the mirror she started to read.
"Koneko-chan,
I'm very sorry about earlier. Meet me at the park (near the café where you work) at 5pm. I have a surprise for you.
Lots of love, Kish xxx
P.s: I hope Blondie wasn't too mad…"
Looking up and into the mirror she saw a delighted face smiling back at her. She placed the note down on her table then picked up her hairbrush and rapidly brushed her hair in excitement.
She desperately wanted to know what the surprise was and hurried to get ready and picked out one of her cutest dresses. She threw it on, took one last look in the mirror to make sure she looked okay then sped out of her house.
It all seemed strange to her. Thinking about Kish at this moment blew all of her troubles out of the window like they were nothing. But there was one trouble that was left unnoticed because of all of the other events of the past two weeks.
Her tampons were still in her draw… unused.
