"That is exactly what it smells ...And taste like." Nika said as she chopped up the vanilla stick and put it in a tea kettle.

"Your gene splicing?" Kyouya asked seriously as he stood straight and fixed his glasses.

Nika looked at him like he was a complete idiot and began laughing.

"Ha! You think a girl with my status could afford to do something like that?!" Nika sighed catching her breath.

Kyouya grunted a little upset that she laughed at a simple question he had asked, but he found when he looked at her through the glare of his glasses the sight of her smiling and the sound of her laughter seemed to cause a stir within him.

"Tsk, tsk ,tsk Kyouya I just wanted to assure you the mysterious ingredients weren't poison or anything." Nika reassured him as she took a stool next to his and sat down.

"hmmm. Now what makes you think I wasn't just in the neighborhood?" Kyouya asked slyly looking at Nika from the corner of his eye as he crossed his arms.

"Kyouya Ootori, youngest son of the Ootori group which runs the largest police group and medical company in Japan who is worth trillions of dollars just happens to know exactly where I work and happened to not be startled or surprised at all when I greeted him." Nika said tapping her chin.

"I see you've done your homework." Kyouya said with a tone that seemed to be a mix of surprised amusement.

"Of course. Plus I just think you so dreamy like when you walk down the halls my heart skips a beat and I swear I'm going to die when you glance at me. If only I was the shirt on your chest I could feel you heartbeat every moment. Oh Kyouya!" Nika said putting her hands together to her heart dramatically.

"Seeing as you do not go to my school, I must ask where that came from." Kyouya asked with a raised eyebrow.

Nika smirked and stood up to look Kyouya dead in the face.

" She whispered." Just look for the "how would you confess your love" section. It's pretty good for a laugh." Nika giggled.

"I see." Kyouya said as he took a pen out of his pocket and scribbled the website down on a piece of paper.

"Don't worry I don't want or need anything from you..just don't get mad that I call you kyo-kun around Suka." Nika said taking the whistling teapot off the stove.

"I was wondering why the affectionate name when we are essentially total strangers." Kyouya said putting his hands in his pockets and leaning against the counter.

"Well Suka looked over my shoulder at your bio and she's fallen in love ..with your money so watch out." Nika said in all seriousness.

Kyouya was surprised that after finding out how much he was worth she hadn't asked him for anything at all and for some unknown reason it made him smile.

"Oh my! Is that a smile?" Nika joked as she walked towards the entrance mats with the tea kettle.

"I will pay you for you silence on the matter." Kyouya said his voice stone cold.

Nika merely giggled and called out to Suka who hurried in taking the tea kettle from Nika after telling her to make some "personalities"

"What's a personality?" Kyouya asked finding himself somewhat amused in watching Nika go back and forth looking for different ingredients.

"It's that thing you lack." Nika said sarcastically.

Kyouya merely gave her his shadow kings glare and she rolled her eyes in defeat impressing Kyouya by the fact she had no fear.

"All the tea's we serve are either a personality or mood. A personality tea is made to fit a persons personality so when they drink it they feel whole if not satisfied in everyway. A mood tea is a tea that makes you feel whatever mood it's made after." Nika explained putting another pot on the stove.

"Like the two under the raining moon?" Kyouya asked.

Nika blushed making Kyouya push his glasses up agitated that he was actually trying to make her blush.

"May I ask why there's a sign saying you'll be closing at 11 am?" Kyouya asked trying to change the subject.

"I'm going to visit my father today." Nika said smiling brightly.

"but didn't your father rape and abuse you?" Kyouya thought to himself as he watched Nika happily take the last tea kettle of the stove.
