Chapter 2: Say What?
After almost an hour of walking they finally reached the large pink castle like café. Ichigo didn't think she could step in there. After all that time working with Masaya there… She couldn't bear the pain of being so lonely. She wanted to just turn around and head home, but the younger girl kept a firm grim on Ichigo's hand. Ichigo stopped walking when they were just about to reach the first concrete step. Tears started to well up in her eyes. She just wasn't ready. Pudding yanked Ichigo's hand, but she still wouldn't budge. She tried again, still she wouldn't move. She then gave a hard pull and Ichigo was forced to walk up the steps.
"Iie, Iie, IIIIEE!!" Ichigo yelled.
Minto and Lettuce helped Pudding drag Ichigo into the building while Zakuro just stood there and held the door open. Zakuro understood what Ichigo was going through. Loosing someone they love very much. Zakuro held onto the door and stepped in front of it keeping her heel on the base of the door to stop it from closing; she grabbed hold of Ichigo's wrist and hulled her in.
Keiichiro and Ryou were standing in the middle of the café. They had heard Ichigo's ranting from the basement. Ryou and Keiichiro both had a huge sweat drop coming down the back of their heads as they watched the red head throw fit. She looked like a 4 year old throwing a fit because they didn't get their way.
After a few minutes of pointless struggling, Ichigo finally gave up. She walked over to one of the tables and took a seat down and sat herself down on it. All she did was sit there with a dark expression. Seeing her like that actually made them all scared. Ichigo is never like this, she's usually happy and peppy. No one could blame her for being like that; after all she just watched her love leave her. It's a lot to take in.
Minto didn't want to just stand there and pay attention to Ichigo all day, so she walked over to her table. It was already set up, tea and everything. Minto sat down and poured herself a cup of tea. She looked out the window.
"Looks like rain," Minto muttered.
Outside there were gray clouds everywhere. Just a few minutes ago it was beautiful out, talk about strange weather.
Ichigo didn't want to look at any of them. She was mad at them for forcing her in the café. She put her head on her crossed arms; she was looking face down at the table. Ryou looked at her. She looked completely miserable. He couldn't stand to see her like this, but what was he supposed to do about it? She'd just get mad at him like usual. Ryou just shrugged it off.
"Well I'm going." Ryou announced.
Ryou turned around and walked down the hallway heading towards the lab.
The room was silent. Ichigo started to sob; she was starting to cry. Not much later a raindrop fell from the sky followed by another. The sky seemed to be crying along side her, like it had seen everything that happened. The rain sped up and it had turned into a heavy down pour. Minto looked out the window. It was miserable out there. She looked back at Ichigo, seeing her like that killed her inside no matter how absurd that sounds. Nobody wants to be lonely.
The seconds turned into minutes, and soon enough a whole hour had passed. There had been nothing but sobbing coming from the red head at the centre table. The rain had not let up, but a thunderstorm had started up. Keiichiro had returned to the kitchen to bake and the girls had just left to change into their work uniforms. Not that anyone would be coming to the café anytime soon.
Ichigo lifted her head up. She wiped away the tears still left on her face. Her eyes were bloodshot and there were tear stains on her checks. Ichigo's cell phone was vibrating. She must have accidentally set it at vibrate. She opened up the cell phone to see she had one missed call.
'I wonder who it was,' thought Ichigo.
She closed her phone. She looked at the time, it was pretty late, but she couldn't go home in this weather. Her parents would be wondering where she was. She had promised to call once she reached London, but since she hadn't gone she should call them to let them know. Just as Ichigo was about to flip up her cell phone there was a bright flash of lightning followed by a hard clap of thunder. Ichigo let out a horrified shriek as did the other girls. Then there was total darkness. Had she passed out? The light of her cell phone came on. Nope she hadn't passed out, the power had gone out.
The girls came walking out of the dressing room, being careful not to trip over anything. Keiichiro came out from the kitchen.
"We've got a problem," announced Keiichiro.
"Yeah, no kidding," retorted Minto.
"Someone's coming," muttered Zakuro, she looked behind her.
"I hear it too," replied Ichigo.
Footsteps could be heard coming from behind the four girls and Keiichiro. They all turned to face the hallway they had just come out of and the five girls put their hands into their pockets and held onto their pendants just in case. There was a light coming from the direction of the footsteps. They couldn't make out a figure; all they could see was the blinding light. They squinted, but that didn't do them much good. As the figure got closer they could make out an outline of the figure. It looked like it had one arm and where the other should be there was a big jagged bump. Was it a chimera animal? If it was why hadn't Masha picked anything up? Before they could do anything the figure had closed in on them revealing Ryou holding a bunch of flashlights. They all gave a sigh of relief.
"Shirogane!!" shouted Ichigo, "What were you doing trying to scare us like that?"
"Ichigo…" spoke Ryou.
"Did you want to scare me to death?"
"Ichigo…" Ryou was once again interrupted.
Ichigo stood up.
"You jerk!!" yelled Ichigo at the top of her lungs.
"Ichigo calm down. I just came to give you a flashlight." Ryou walked over to her holding out the flashlight. Just as she was about to grab it he flipped it up and turned it on pointing it upwards. It made his face look ghostly. "Boo!"
"NYAA!!" screamed Ichigo. Her cat ears and tail popped out as she stepped backwards. When she stepped backwards she tripped over the chair. She was falling backwards and was about to hit the floor. She suddenly stopped falling. She opened her eyes and found herself looking into Ryou's face. Ichigo couldn't feel the ground Ryou had caught her and she was in his arms. Ichigo's face immediately turned a bright shade of red.
Ryou let out a small chuckle. "Scaredy cat ," muttered Ryou.
Ichigo glared at him. Ichigo remembered she was still in Ryous arms.
Everyone else in the room had sweat drops running down the back of their heads. They could act so childish some times. Keiichiro looked down at his watch. It was already 9:00pm.
Ryou put Ichigo down. He handed her the flashlight he had dropped and handed it to her. Ichigo grabbed it from him before he could do anything else to try and scare her.
Keiichiro looked out the window. The rain was pouring even harder.
"It doesn't look like this rain is going stop anytime soon. It looks like you girls will have to stay here for the night." said Keiichiro.
Ichigo's eyes were wide. "Say what?" She asked.
"He said that you girls will have to stay at the café over night baka strawberry." retorted Ryou.
"I know what he said." replied Ichigo.
"We'll have a sleep over!!" shouted Purin excitedly as she jumped around happily.
"But where are we going to get pajama's from," inquired Lettuce.
"I may have a few in the changing room," exclaimed Minto looking up at the ceiling.
"Alright let's go!" shouted Purin as she ran toward the changing room with her flashlight in her hand.
"Oh joy," mumbled Zakuro following the hyper girl.
Minto walked off behind Zakuro.
"Come on let's go get changed Ichigo-san." said Lettuce shyly.
"Fine," agreed Ichigo.
The two walked off together and Keiichiro and Ryou went to the guest room to prepare it for the girls sleep over.
