Desmond was on his way to visit Leo at the hospital. He and the Knight of Seiryu weren't really close friends, but he was honor-bound to show a certain sense of respect towards him. After all, the young Dragon Knight had earned it, for both defeating him in combat, as well as freeing him from the Royals' control.

Speaking of the Royals, he stopped abruptly as his path was suddenly being blocked by three familiar, dark robed and hooded figures. He took off his helmet and his red eyes narrowed at them. No one so much as twitched with the silence between them was heavy and tense.

Takada had just returned from his shift and walked into the café. Kat was still not back, and neither was Leo. Tom and Sheila were able to handle things for the moment, but they weren't sure how long they could keep it up. Nonetheless, they were hoping they could assist in running things at least until the twins returned.

Takada walked up the stairs and towards his room to check up on his 'Sleeping Beauty', as he had come to call her. When he reached his room he saw her sitting up, awake, and looking out the window. His footsteps got her attention and she turned to look at him, startled.

"I'm glad you're awake," Takada said, smiling.

"Who are you?" she asked, gently. Her eyes were violet.

"My name's Yoshiyuki Takada. You can call me Takada."

"Can you tell me something?" she asked again.

"Sure."

"Who am I?"

Episode 28: Amnesia

As Beast Boy was recovering from Leo's sneeze and the Titans laughing, Kat's cell phone began to ring. She pulled it out of her pocket and put it to her ear. "Hello?" She listened and her eyes widened. She wasn't sure that she heard right but this sounded like an emergency. "I'm on my way," she said before saying, "Bye." She turned off her phone and sighed. She turned to her brother. "Sumimasen, otouto-chan, but I need to go. Takada says there's an emergency at the café."

"Daijoubu, onee-chan," Leo waved dismissively. "The café is our livelihood. Go and see what needs to be done."

Kat almost felt guilty for doing this. Takada owed her and her brother now. She then bowed to her brother, who bowed back, and then ran out of the ward.

Tara decided to speak, "So, Leo, you're a Titan too, huh?"

Leo blushed shyly and rubbed the back of his head. Jinx just giggled. "Hai," he answered.

"Don't worry, your sister told me everything," Tara explained. "Now I want to hear your side of the story."

The bike stopped in front of the café and she dismounted from it. When she walked inside she saw Tom and Sheila alternating between serving the customers and standing at the counter.

"Kat, you're back," Sheila said pleasantly. "How's Leo, is he okay?"

"He's making a smooth recovery, Sheila," Kat nodded. "Tom, can you handle thing here with Sheila? I have to do something upstairs." Tom gave her a thumb's up. "Thanks." Kat then marched up the stairs to see Takada.

The nameless girl and Takada were talking. The girl was simply fascinated with Takada for some reason and quite curious, asking questions about himself. He was answering the best he could when Kat came in through the door.

Kat made the first move, "Are you," she pointed to Takada before pointing to herself, "telling me," she finally pointed to the nameless girl "that she can't remember a thing?"

"Yes," Takada replied simply. Kat just groaned and grumbled.

"Just great, just freakin' great!" Kat said sarcastically as she paced the room. "Not only did you pick up a girl who we have no idea who she is, she apparently doesn't know who she is either. Wonderful! To top it all off my otouto-chan, our best chef, is in the hospital recovering!"

"He is?" Takada said. "Is he alright? Can I go see him?" He caught Kat's glare and gulped. "Guess not."

"Takada, we can't keep her here. This isn't charity house or a shelter. She needs to be put someplace else," Kat said.

"Someplace…else?" the nameless girl said and whimpered, pulling the blanket close to her chest.

"We can't just kick her out, Kat," Takada reasoned. "She has nowhere else to go."

"I fail to see how that is even my problem," Kat retorted. "I can't afford to let her stay here for good reason. We only keep you around because you pay the rent and help out around the café when you're not doing one of your part-time jobs."

"Please, let me take care of her," Takada pleaded.

"She's not some pet you get to keep, Takada," Kat said to him.

Takada decided to play his trump card. He said, "What would Leo say if he found out?"

Kat froze and her eyes turned cold as she glared at Takada threateningly. "Don't you even go there." He was threading on dangerous territory now but the mention of her brother's name and possibly reaction always made her cave.

"He always talks about how a good sister you are. What if I told him that you threw a poor girl, who had no where else to go, out on the cold street, hm?" Takada was trying to blackmail her.

"Blackmail, Takada? You're playing a dangerous game here."

"I can take the risk. Can you? Your brother adores you, thinks the world of you, he looks up to you. Now, I don't want to have to break his heart but if he were to find out somehow I can't be held responsible for what might happen."

Kat narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth. She could handle her brother's disappointment. It wasn't like he wouldn't forgive her, right?

However, she remembered back when they were five and he had lost his favorite toy. The look on his face broke her heart and she didn't want to see that look ever again. She was in a dilemma. What was she to do?

She had to compromise to maintain her dignity.

"Fine, she can stay," Kat said, defeated. Takada grinned as the nameless girl beamed. "But only if she helps out around the café. She can't be staying and eating her for free, y'know? She has to earn her keep, just like you."

"Thanks, Kat," Takada said gratefully

"This isn't over," she said to him firmly before turning to look at the girl. "Okay, you, first thing's off is you need a name. We can't be calling you 'You' all the time. It's both confusing and improper. We need to give you a sort of designation. Do you at least remember your name even a little?"

She looked down to her hands and began thinking. Her eyes were shut painfully as she tried to grasp her lost memories. She was getting something…her name…it was close. K…Ko…mand….r….She was just getting bits and pieces…she then said, "My name is…Komand'r."

"Komand'r?" Kat said, blinking, "Sounds a lot like the word 'commander'. No, that won't do." Kat began thinking. "Your name…we that gives me an idea…Your name is…" She snapped her fingers as a figurative light bulb lit in her head. "I got it!"

"What?" Takada asked hopefully.

"What?" 'Komadn'r' said excitedly.

"Your name is…Karmen," Kat said. "Karmen Anders."

"Karmen," Takada said, smiling. "I like that."

"I do too," 'Komand'r', now Karmen, said. "My name is now Karmen." She smiled

"You're a saint, Kat," Takada said. Kat just sighed in defeat. What was she getting herself into now and how was she going to break the news to her twin brother?

(3 days later…)

Karmen earned her place in the café, helping Sheila serve the customers. It was a good thing that Kat and Karmen were the same size do she could fit in her clothes. Of course, there were some articles of clothing that couldn't be borrowed…the intimate kind.

That was why Kat and Sheila had taken Karmen to the mall and they went to Victoria's Secrets to get her undergarments. They then went shopping around to get Karmen her own set of clothes. By the time they had returned with Karmen's new clothes, Takada was whistling in appreciation at the black midriff bearing tank top and blue jeans. Karmen also wore a pair of sandals. She blushed at Takada's appreciative whistling, not knowing what it truly meant but liking it.

Training Karmen was a little hard. She didn't seem to know how to do simple chores like doing the laundry (she accidentally washed the whites and colors together) or doing the dishes (she broke like 10 of them). However, Kat had to remain patient. She did not want to have a guilty conscience for throwing out someone into the street. Karmen was a sweet girl, she just needed more time.

Karmen had natural grace and acute reflexes when she was serving food and drinks, though and she was quite attractive as well. A lot of boys would come in just to catch a look at her. It brought in business so Kat didn't mind. At least Karmen was good for one thing.

Takada kept changing jobs in the last three days for some reason. He had been a pizza delivery boy, a waiter at a Chinese Restaurant, and a hotdog vendor. She didn't know HOW he could be hired in so many places but she chose not to question it. He still got paid somewhat in tips and that was all that mattered.

Today, Leo was coming back home. Takada went to pick him up in his car. (Yes, Takada has a car.) Kat, Sheila, Tom, Steven and Sven were already set to throw a 'Welcome Back Party' for Leo. There were balloons, streamers and food laid out on the tables for a private get-together. Craig was invited too. She didn't invite Desmond for good reason. She just didn't like the guy. She wanted to invite the Titans too but she decided not to. Instead she had something else in mind.

Takada's car pulled over and then Takad got out. He went over to the other side and opened the door, guiding Leo out and towards the café. Leo was wearing a blindfold.

"Is that him?" Karmen asked Sheila. They had become fast friends.

"Yeah," Sheila nodded. "That's Kat's brother and he means the world to her. Just don't tell her I said that. She says she has a reputation to keep.

"And I can hear you," Kat said levelly. Sheila chuckled, embarrassed. Kat just smirked and watched as Leo stepped through the door with Takada. Leo undid the blindfold and then…

"SURPRISE!" Everyone shouted to him. Leo gasped.

"Sugoi! Is this all…for me?" Leo asked, stupefied. Kat hugged her brother.

"Hai, welcome back, otouto-chan," Kat said to her brother and kissed him on the cheek.

"Domo Arigatou, onee-chan," Leo said, blushing. He then saw Karmen. "And you must be Karmen-san."

"Yes, I am," she nodded. She was then surprised as Leo bowed so she bowed as well.

"I welcome you to Café La Salle. You may stay here as long as you want." Leo stood up straight and looked at Kat. "You surprise me, onee-chan. Taking in an amnesiac girl is such a kind and great act of selflessness. I am truly honored to have you as my sister." He then bowed to her. Kat blushed, embarrassed. Takada just smirked knowingly.

"Stand up straight, otouto-chan," Kat said. "You're embarrassing me."

Craig then walked in, smiling. He said, "What are we waiting for? Let's party!"

No one had any objections to that.

(Later…)

Jinx had gotten a phone call and was happy to hear that Leo was out of the hospital.. She lay back on the couch in the Tower and sighed.

Jinx had moved out of her apartment and moved into the Tower, officially. It did take a while for the Titans to be trustful and comfortable around her since they had been enemies but she had proven herself and now protected the city she once terrorized.

Life can be so ironic, can't it?

The doorbell rang and she jumped off the couch. The others were somewhere in the Tower doing their own thing. She then went down the elevator to the ground level to open the door.

When the doors opened, standing before her was none other than Leo Hasuma, the boy she had been thinking about. She couldn't stand it she just glomped him.

"LEO!" she squealed, tackling him to the ground. Leo was caught off guard and blushed under the girl. Kat and Takada were also present and snickered. The two of them were carrying plastic bags.

"Jinx-san, can you please get off me? I need to stand up," he requested gently. Jinx gasped and got off him before helping him up.

"I'm so sorry," Jinx said while trying to hide the blush on her face. He was blushing too as he dusted off his clothes.

"Daijoubu…" he said. "I'm just glad to be out of that hospital. Is everyone here?"

"Everyone except Beast Boy," Jinx answered. "He went to visit that blonde girl, Tara."

Leo, Kat and Takada smiled. Puppy love. So cute.

"What did you bring us?" Jinx asked, noticing the plastic bags Takada and Kat were holding.

"Just something my otouto-chan decided to whip up for you guys," Kat said. "Can we come in?"

Desmond was in his room, looking over several documents. In a few days his master plan would be unveiled. It had all started that fateful day when he had met those three Royals. They said they had a proposition for him and he listened without attacking them. Their proposition seemed too good to pass up and he accepted their request. They were Royals, and thus Beast Spirits, but for some reason Desmond felt he could trust them.

Kat was going to have a HUGE shock of her life, he guaranteed.

The Titans, minus Beast Boy, were now gathered in the Tower Common Room. Leo was welcomed by Starfire with a hug, a VERY strong hug, that would've gotten him sent back to the hospital. Thank goodness she let go before his ribs broke.

Kat and Takada laid the four plastic bags down on the kitchen table. Leo smiled.

"This is just a token of my appreciation for all that you have done for me. If not for the combined efforts of my onee-chan and yourselves, I would probably not be here today," he said and then bowed. "Domo arigatou gozaimasu." The Titans bowed back.

"You don't have to give us anything, Leo," Robin said.

"Yes, friend, it was simply our pleasure and duty to help you," Starfire added.

"But, seriously, what did you bring us?" Cyborg said eagerly, rubbing his hands together. If Leo had brought them something it was bound to be something delicious. Jinx rolled her eyes with Raven.

"It was short notice so I apologize if it is not much," Leo said. He then nodded to his sister. From the plastic bags were rectangular plastic Tupperware containers. They were large and properly labeled.. Leo opened each of them up and the Titans looked. They were shocked to see hundreds upon hundreds of…

"I made some deep fried croquets for all of you," Leo said, beaming. "Enjoy. I made beef, chicken, fish and vegetarian croquets for everyone…" He looked around. "Ano, where is Beast Boy-san?"

"He went to visit Tara," Cyborg said, his mouth already watering. He reached for a delicious and golden brown beef croquet but Kat's hand slapped his away. She wagged her finger, silently scolding him.

"Oh, really? It must've slipped my mind. Well, what are you all waiting for? Itadakimasu!" Leo said.

"Leo, wow, you shouldn't have," Robin said as he bit into one. "Good God these are good!"

"I agree. They are crunchy on the outside and yet deliciously chewy on the inside!" Starfire said.

"I'm in heaven…" Jinx said after she took a bite. Raven nibbled on one and her eyes widened as her taste buds were touched. She had to agree with Jinx on that.

"This is great!" Cyborg said, although his words were muffled since he was stuffing his mouth with croquets.

"I also made a special sauce to dip the croquets in," Leo said as he revealed a bowl and pulled away the plastic seal. They dipped their croquets in and then took their bites. The Titans looked like they had eaten a piece of heaven.

Starfire: "Oh my!"

Robin: "My taste buds are dancing!"

Cyborg: "This is THE BOMB!"

Jinx: "Wow…"

Raven: "…"

Kat couldn't help but smirk. The secret to Cafe La Salle's success was none other than Leo himself. Business hadn't been so good since he was in the hospital but now that he was back business would be booming again.

"I hope Beast Boy gets here before they finish all these croquets," Takada said. He was eating a croquet too.

"If he doesn't get here, he'll miss out on something great," Kat nodded in agreement. She went to her brother. "You did good, bro. Now that we tested out your new croquet recipe, we can start selling them at the café. We'll make a profit!"

"Hai, onee-chan!" Leo nodded enthusiastically.

"I just hope no one decides to open a restaurant close to ours," Takada said. "They might just steal our customers."

Kat scoffed. "Yeah, right. Like that is gonna happen. As long as we have my otouto-chan, no one, and I mean no one will be able to beat us."

Takada thought, 'I hope you're right, Kat.'

Jinx looked to Leo who was talking to Cyborg. The cybernetic African American teen was trying to get the recipe from Leo for the croquets and sauce but Leo wasn't talking.

"Gomenasai, Cyborg-san, but it's a secret," Leo said apologetically and with a smile.

"Come on, just between you and me," Cyborg pleaded. Leo shook his head. "Oh, come on, please?"

Jinx sighed. Leo then took a seat next to her on the couch and smiled at her. Jinx, since the day she met him, was starting to grow to REALLY like him. He was a sweet, kind and really nice guy. He was honorable, noble, chivalrous, strong, and with a strong sense of justice. Not a lot of guys were like him. Most guys were arrogant and self centered/absorbed jerks, just little boys in grown up bodies. Leo, on the other hand, was quite mature. He was also fiercely loyal to his sister, which she found quite adorable. Plus he could REALLY cook REALLY well. No wonder Café La Salle had a lot of customers.

He was the perfect catch.

"I'm glad you're out of the hospital," said Jinx.

"Hai, I am. I really missed home and school," Leo said.

"Did you miss seeing me?" Jinx asked.

"How could I?" Leo said. "You were always there, visiting me, Jinxy-chan."

Jinx remembered. Yes, she always visited him to see if he was okay. Unfortunately, so were a number of girls from Leo's school. Apparently, he was quite popular but unlike most guys he didn't care about popularity. It meant nothing to him. He appreciated the girls' gesture but he treasured Jinx the most.

He really, really, REALLY liked Jinx. There was a notebook with every page of it filled with Jinx's name. It did seem a little obsessive but Leo couldn't stop thinking about her.

Unfortunately, he had no idea on how to go about it. They were good friends now and he didn't want to mess that up but something was telling him to take the chance.

What was he to do?

Monday rolled in, followed by Tuesday and then Wednesday. Now it was Thursday

Both Leo and Tara had been back in school since Monday. The other two students had recovered as well and so did Mr. Barkin.

Kat grimaced. She really wished that guy would take couple of days off.

She remembered the day Tara and Leo came back on Monday and were immediately mobbed, swarmed and welcomed by a number of their classmates. They had been asking if either of them were okay which they replied with nods. Kat mused while shaking her head. Leo and Tara were apparently missed and Kat had to endure the questioning of the entire class before the weekend came in. No one had asked about Mr. Barkin though.

The teacher came in and they all went to their designated seats.

"We have a new student joining us," the teacher, Miss Cornfield, said. She spoke to the door, "Come in."

Kat whispered to Leo, "Don't you think it's a little odd for us to have a new student so late in the year?"

Leo shrugged, "I don't know, onee-chan, but you know how the principal just loves to have new students."

The new student, a girl, walked in. She had short black hair and brow eyes. She was also wearing the standard school uniform for girls. "Ohayo! My name is Hikaru Jou! It's nice to meet you all!"

"Now then, Miss Jou…there's an empty seat next to…Ah, Miss Markov," Miss Cornfield said.

"Hai, sensei," Hikaru bowed and skipped, yes skipped, over to her seat. "You're Markov, right?"

"Call me Tara," Tara said.

"I do hope we become friends," Hikaru beamed. She then turned to look at Kat and Leo and smiled. This took the twins by surprise.

"Okay…creepy…" Kat said.

"I think she's kinda kawaii, onee-chan," Leo responded. Kat sighed and shook her head as Miss Cornfield started the lesson.

Several classes later and it was soon lunch time. Kat's stomach was growling. Leo was carrying two bento boxes with their lunch and a thermos.

"Do you know how much I had to suffer without you, otouto-chan?" Kat spoke melodramatically. "I had to actually eat the food here!"

"I happen to think the food is tasty, onee-chan," Leo told her.

"Compared to your cooking?"

"Hai, I understand."

"Leo! Kat! Over here!" Stephanie called the twins. Tara and Melissa were sitting there too and so was…Hikaru.

Kat narrowed her eyes. Ever since she walked into call there was just something off that she felt coming from this girl. Leo just smiled and walked over, followed by his twin sister. He placed the bento boxes and thermos on the table and bowed.

"Konnichiwa, Jou-san," Leo said to Hikaru. Hikaru bowed too.

"You too, Narukawa-san," Hikaru responded. "But, please, call me Hikaru. I do want to be friends with you all."

"Hai, Hikaru-san," Leo agreed. "And I wish to be your friend too. My name is Ryuki Leonard Narukawa, but friends call me Leo."

"It's an honor, Leo-san." Hikaru then turned to look at Kat. "And what about you, Hasuma-san?"

"Call me Kat, Hikaru-san," Kat responded evenly.

"Hai, Kat-san."

Kat and Leo sat down. They noticed that Hikaru had her own bento box too. She opened it and there was a burger platter with deep friend potato wedges. It looked REALLY good.

Leo inquired, "Hikaru-san, did you make this?"

Hikaru shook her head, "No, Leo-san. Noboru-ojisan, my guardian, did."

"Your guardian?" Melissa asked.

"He's really my uncle and while I'm staying here in Jump City I'm staying here with him."

"Look really delicious, Hikaru-san," Leo said. The bento boxes he and his twin sister were having had a bit of salad, tempura prawns and mini onigiri.

"Your food isn't half as bad either," Hikaru admitted. "Who cooked it?"

"I did/He did," Kat and Leo answered at the same time.

"I see," Hikaru smiled. "So, you two are twins, right? What's with the different last names?"

Kat was about to say, "None of your business!" but Leo politely answered.

"That is because…" Leo sighed. "That is because our parents are divorced."

Hikaru looked sympathetic. "Gomenasai…I should not have asked."

"It is alright," Leo said.

The group of school friends began eating but Kat kept her eyes on Hikaru. Ever since that strange experience in the cave with the Centipede Beast Spirit, Kat's senses had grown quite sharp. It freaked her out at first (as if speaking a monster's tongue wasn't freaky enough) but she calmed herself down before she ended up burning the house down or freezing it over in panic. She reminded herself and deduced that it might've had something to do with her half Beast Spirit blood. She cast a glance at her twin brother. Could she tell him the truth about herself? What if he hated her and accused her for being an imposter and then decided to kill her? She couldn't live with him hating her like that, no way. His love for her was just something that she couldn't live without.

Craig then joined them and Kat smiled. They introduced Hikaru to the boy and the new girl smiled, seeing Craig and Kat sitting so close. It was just so kawaii!

After school the twins returned home to help out with the restaurant before doing their homework. Usually, the restaurant would be full by now or at least have some customers. But, today, it was completely barren. There were no customers and when the twins walked in they saw Sheila, Karmen, Tom, Steven and Sven sitting around the table looking absolutely worried.

"What's going on?" Kat demanded. "Why don't we have any customers?"

"A new place opened up, Kat," Sheila answered dejectedly.

"What new place, Sheila-san?" Leo inquired politely but his face was wearing a loof of worry.

"Take a look outside," Karmen said.

The two twins looked at each other and nodded before stepping out of the restaurant to see this 'new place.'

They both got the shock of their lives.

The new place was just across from their and it was packed with customers. It was called the "Turtle Hut" on the sign which had what looked like a big turtle on it. There were also banners and ribbons since it was its first grand opening. There was also a line of people waiting to get in and greeting the customers in was none other than…

No, it couldn't be…

It was Takada and he was wearing a buttoned up green shirt with a bow tie and black slacks. He was welcoming the people in.

Kat marched right over there before Leo could even stop her.

"TAKADA!" Kat screamed and Takada saw her mad expression. He looked ready to bolt.

"K-Kat! Hi! What are you doing here?" he asked nervously.

Kat stood up and looked him in the eye. Leo stood a bit far behind her and waved at Takada with an embarrassed look on his face. Kat grabbed Takada by the collar.

"What's the big idea, Takada? What are you even doing here?" Kat demanded furiously.

"What else?" asked an extremely cocky sounding voice. "He's greeting customers to my new restaurant."

"Amakusa-san?" Leo said, shocked.

"I should've known," Kat hissed as she let go of Takada and then went over to the black clad Knight of Genbu. "What's the big idea, Desmond? You trying to put me out of business or something?"

"It's just some healthy competition, Kat," Desmond responded with a smirk. "I'm not trying to host a hostile takeover here unlike dear old father…No, I've just become interested in running my own business."

"But why a restaurant, and why here of all places?" Kat asked, not letting go of her glare.

"Business is about having the best strategies to achieve profits and this location is quite strategic. A lot of people pass by here, hungry and tired. I'm providing a service for the community."

Desmond did make a good point.

"Leo-san! Kat-san! You came!" Hikaru bounded out of the restaurant.

"Hikaru-san?" Leo asked, bewildered.

"What are you doing here?" Kat questioned.

"Don't you know? I work here!"

"NANI!" the twins yelled out.

"That's right," Desmond nodded. "Hikaru is one of my waitresses. And my cook is none other than…I might as well have you meet him. Please, follow me."

Kat walked into the Turtle Hut but cast Takada a glare and muttered, "Traitor," before walking in with her brother following close behind.

The place was packed with customers. The tables were covered with green tablecloth and the floor looked like polished marble. The wallpaper had what looked like tiny turtles on them for decorations. There were also banners and ribbons hanging down from the walls as well as an extravagant looking chandelier in the middle of the ceiling where more ribbons were tied to it. There were also paper lanterns hung up as well.

"Sugoi…" Leo said in awe but then got a glare from his sister. "Gomen."

"Nice place you got here," Kat complimented in an even tone.

"I designed the interior myself," Desmond said.

"I wouldn't have guessed it," Kat said sarcastically. "Alright, who's your cook? I want to talk to him."

"Oh, you'll love to meet him," Desmond smirked. "Mr. Noboru Shima, please come out."

"Noboru?" Kat and Leo spoke at once and looked at Hikaru.

"Hai, my uncle!" she beamed.

A middle aged man with kind features and wearing a blue shirt with matching pants under his apron came out of the kitchen. On his head was a bandanna that covered the entire top of his head. He bowed and the twins bowed back in respect.

"I welcome you to the Turtle Hut," Shima said.

"Noboru Shima is my head chef. His cooking is top notch and it is safe to say that all my customers happen to agree," Desmond said.

"It is an honor to meet you, Shima-san," Leo said as he bowed politely.

"You too, Narukawa-san. Amakusa-san speaks quite highly of your culinary skills," Shima said.

"Arigatou," Leo said and blushed at the compliment.

Kat's eyes narrowed, "Ikuzo, otouto-chan."

"Demo, onee-chan," Leo said.

"Ikuzo!" she repeated firmly.

"H-hai!" Leo turned to Desmond, Shima and Hikaru. "Ja ne!" He then followed after his twin sister.

Desmond just smirked after them. He then asked, "Is Daichi asleep again?" Shima and Hikaru nodded their heads with bemused expressions. Desmond just groaned. "Jesus Christ, help me…"

Kat pushed the door open roughly and marched right in. 'This means war…'

The others looked at each other with worried looks etched on their faces.

A/N: How was this chapter? Did you like it? Looks like Kat is preparing herself for war. Stay tune for the next chap. By the way, do you remember who Daichi, Shima and Hikaru are?

Preview: It would seem that Desmond's business is booming. This does not look good for Café La Salle. No matter what strategy Kat pulls, Desmond always beats her. It looks like she needs to call in the big guns and when there's trouble you know who to call…That's right. But what happens when Karmen Anders and Starfire meet?
