You can come here to have a nice cup of tea or to have a nice little chat. Or, of course, in Yuki's and Kyo's case, to argue.

Kagura Sohma pushed a strand of brown hair behind her ear, the soft tank of her tea cup echoing in the empty cafe`. She smiled, the time to herself somewhat enjoyable. A few days ago she would be depressed... or silent.... but she knew better. If she didn`t cheer herself up, she`d remain victim to the true meaning of the Sohma curse... and falling prey to that would be worse than transforming into a pig when hugged. Kagura let her finger drag across the rim of the tea cup, smiling into her own reflection. A tear, gently falling, made a small plink as it fell into the liquid. Kagura quickly lifted her hand and with her wrist banished the emotion. "Get yourself together... Isuzu would laugh..." Is that such a bad thing? Is it BAD to have other people laugh because you`re freely expressing your emotion? Kagura smiled, letting another tear fall, Isuzu would laugh... but... she`s also an enigma... Kagura began to laugh, she smiled, her eyes closing in a true, heart warming laugh.

Tohru staggered into the cafe, carrying a giant pile of shopping in her arms. Barely being able to see where she was going, she tripped and stumbled over to the counter. "Um, coudl I have a cup of tea please?" A muffled voice said from within the bags. "Oh! And a piece of strawberry shortcake." "Of course, Miss." The man behind the counte said, a sweatdrop appearin on his forhead as Tohru swayed dangerously. "Um.... Why don't you just put your things down by the door." "Thankyou very much!" the muffled voice said again, and then its slightly frazzled owner deposited the masses of shoppping by the door. How am I going to get all of this home?! she thought to herself.
Turning around and smoothing out the front of her dress where the bags had crumpled the material, she looked up to see a familiar face sitting nearby. "Kagura!" Tohru cried cheerily. "Wow, this is a surprise! Do you mind if I join you?"

Kagura turned her head, smiling, "Tohru-Kun! Yes! I mean, I wouldn`t mind at all!" Kagura scooted her chair over a bit and patted the one next to her. I wonder... why she has so many bags... "Did you just do the shopping for Yun-Chan and the others?" she asked.

"Um, yes!" Tohru chirped. "This should last us at least a few days... It depends how craetive Shigure is feeling! You know, he swears that food actually feeds his creative spirit... But he has a manuscript due in a few days, so I'll probably be back shopping again before I know it." Taking the seat offered to her, Tohru smiled politely at the waiter who brought over her drink and food.
"Would you like another drink?" She asked. "My treat! Oh, and you should have a piece of this strawberry shortcake too! It's delicious!"

"Ah..." Kagura was a bit surprised that Tohru would offer her such things. "O-Okay.... but I insist on paying for it." Kagura reached in her purse and grabbed a coin pouch. She stood, "I`ll be back." then walked up to the counter, placing her order.

"No, really! I dont mind paying!" Tohru said to Kagura's retreating back. "Oh... Well..." Taking a large bit of the strawberry shortcake and then a long draught of the tea, she sat contentedly back in her chair and sighed heavily. It had been a long time since she had last spoken to Kagura, and it would be nice to catch up.
Biting into the sweet cake for a second time, she couldn't help but be reminded of Yuki. Strawberries always reminded her of him. She supposed she should go to check on the base later... After she ahd taken her shopping home.

Kagura returned a few moments later, tea and cake in hand. She re-seated herself and smiled, "Hmm. you were right!" She said swallowing a bite of the cake, "It is delicious. How are you?" She asked, smiling.

"I'm a little tired." Tohru smiled. "But I can't complain! Shigure, Kyo and Yuki are always so kind to me. Now all I have to worry about is getting all of this shopping home... there is an awful lot of it! Hm..." She reached for her cellphone ((I'm not sure if Tohru has a cellphone, but hey, let's just say she does!)). "I guess I'll call Yuki and see if he can spare me a moment to help me carry these things. But enough about me! How have you been, Kagura?"

Kagura smiled, "Okay. Just, Okay." She glanced at all the bags, "I could help you if you`d like! I may be a girl but, as you`ve seen, I`m tougher than I look! I`m impressed you could carry it all by yourself for such a long time."

"oh no! I couldn't ask you to do that! I mean, it's completely out of your way, and besdies, you probably have a lot to do... And now I'm rambling and I'm taking up more of your time... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause you any hassle!" Quickly switching to panic mode, Tohru put the cellphone down and blushed a brilliant red. "I mean... Unless you'd like to come back to Shigure's for dinner? I'm sure everyone would love to see you! It's been a while."

"Ah." Kagura looked down, folding her hands in her lap, "Actually.. I was hoping to come visit you and Shii-Chan`s house today... so, if you don`t mind.. I`d like to help." She smiled at Tohru. "And.. dinner sounds nice." I doubt.. I`m missed that much.. but Tohru-Kun really seems to want me to come over.. so.. I`ll go.

"Really? We'd love to have you!" Tohru gushed happily. "And, well, I guess I really could use a hand with those bags. There's an awful lot of them... And they're all really heavy! So thankyou. Thanyou for helping me, I mean. I really do appreciate it."
Picking up her fork, Torhu stabbed at the cake and swallowed a large mouthful. "This stuff really is amazing!" She said with her mouth full. "Have you tried it yet?" Washing down the cake with a large gulp of tea, Tohru smiled at her friend, cheerful to know she wold have some help carrying all of the shopping home again.

Kagura took another bite and smiled, "Yes! It really is good. We must learn from them." she joked pointing to the workers in the kitchen. She lifted her cup, take a large sip of tea then setting it back down.

"Yes!" A resolute expression crossed Torhu's face. "From now on, let's do our very best in everything we do!" Munching on the last of her cake, she sighed satisfactorily. ((Is that even a word??!! Ah well ^^')) "So," She continued, "What would you like me to cook for dinner? To thank you for your help, I'll make you a special meal!"
