Ku sat on a stool behind the counter, She was twirling a litte pecan cake wrapped in plastic on the counter waithing for someone to come and start off the day. Just 2 hours ago she opened the store and sat down to wait and ow it feels like forever. People pass by the window and wave t her but noone comes in. Cassiddy sat on the handle of a wicker basket on te counter and Kisu hung upside down from the celing.

Raid walked into the bakery, a long black trench coat trailing behind him. The collar was up, hiding his face, only his purple eyes and silver hair showing to identify him. This world was still curious to him. He had grown up in a world where gifteds weren't widely excepted, and the strange hair, eyes, and, well, abilities all made him an outcast. But oh well. For all that changed, one thing hadn't; He still had to get away from the fools every once in a while. The bakery was empty, which was why he chose to walk in. He hadn't notice Ku, and still didn't as he walked up to the counter.

Ku looked up with a smile and she adjusted her apron, "Hello! Welcome to Honeybread Bakery! How may I help you?" she asked politely with a heart warming smile. "Um...Sir?" she asked, "You'll have to remove your coat and hng it on the coat rack over there...I don't wan dust and such to sweep up into the breads..." she said motioning to the shelves of breads beind her.

"Hm," Raid said, glaring at the counter since that was what he happened to be looking at. Normally he'd cut her head off right then, or at least refuse to take off his coat, but he was in a particularly good mood, so he decided to forgive this human for her insolence. And, besides, she made sense. He took off his coat and threw it at the rack. It landed perfectly, of course.

Ku pulled her knee length bright pink hair back with a hair tie to where the tip was to her waist, "So sir, How may I help you? Would You like a bread loaf? Or maybe some pastries?" she asked and looked at him.

"Hmpf," Raid said, still staring at the counter, "Yeah, sure. That. Whatever you recommend," He muttered. He sounded deep in his own thoughts, not really realizing much of what was going on. He looked up, and was suddenly brought back to th real world, "Hey," He said, furrowing his brows as he looked her, "Don't I know you...?"

Ku had turned around and grabbed a slice of a few different breads and set them in a basket on the counter looked up and she blinked. Her bluesilverish eyes glistened at his question, "Ummmm....I'm not sure...?" she finished the statement as a question as she tried to place his face in her memory.

Raid squinted his eyes at her, staring not at her face, but deeper, as he always did, "Ah, hell, I don't know," He pulled out a stick of what appeared to be a dark purple crystal and put it into his mouth, "I just thought that your soul looked familiar, is all. I'm sick of this place. I don't know anyone anymore. Not since ninety years ago."

Ku blinked again, "My...soul?" She asked a little perplexed, and she adjusted the breads in the basket to make them look nice, "Um...I really don't know...." she pushed the basket to his side of the counter, "Here...Um, samples.....just try them...and tell me which one you like..." she said as her stomach turned and tightened. She tried to remember him but was failing, at least her mind was, her body though on the other hand, seemed to want to welcome him.

Raid pulled the dark purple stick out of his mouth and blew out a smoke with small, glittering crystals in it. He took out a piece of bread from the basket and tasted it, "I'm making you feel awkward," He said, swallowing. He picked out another piece, "I'm sorry, it's just, I'm not exactly good with faces, but I never forget a soul. I know that's probably weird to you; There aren't many who can see souls. But yours seems so... Familiar..."

"It's not weird...I just don't don't usually have coustomers," She whispered the next word to herself "ever..." she smiled at him, "That walk in here and start talking about how familiar my soul is..." at that moment kisu screed and landed on her shouder, he figured this coustomer wouldn't be afraid of a bat and his toes were starting to hurt from hanging upside down. He gripped at Ku's shirt and screed at Raid, and Ku sighed, "I'll be right back....I need to go lay him down..." she walked out fro beind the counter and took off her apron, and hung it on hook on the back wall, "Please don't go any where...or steal anything...." she walked through a door way and you could hear her sweetly talking to her bat as the door opend and closed shut.

Raid put the crystal-looking stick back into his mouth and bit off part of it. The stick was something he picked up on another dimension. It killed most people if it got into their bloodstream; There were few immune to it. If you were resistant to it, though, it was a lot like smoking, except it did less harm and tasted a hell of a lot better. He scanned his memory, trying to pinpoint the girl behind the counter. He had met a lot of people before he went through the vortex, but she seemed to be one of the ones he was more familiar with... Who she was, thought, he couldn't quite tell.

Ku hurried back and she put her apron back on and Cassiddy jumped up from the basket she was sitting on and tied the back for her, "There you are!" and then Cassiddy fluttered up to Ku's ear, "He cute! Maybe you should...." and Ku blushed scarlet red and grabbed cassidd and stuffed her in the pocket of the apron, "Eheheh....So....Have you decided what kind of bread you want?" she asked in a studdery tone and a nervous smile.

Raid shrugged and picked up a piece of bread with brown swirls, "This cinnamon stuff's pretty good," He said, standing up straight and stretching. He still felt he recognized her, but he couldn't quite put his finger on her, "Did you ever go to a school called Mountain View Academy...?" He asked, for that was about the only place he could know her from.

"Yes I did!" Ku said with enthusiasm, and she turned and tried to reach for a cinnamon loaf but she couldn't quite reach it, "Damn...where's my stepping stool...?" she found it and kicked it over infront of her and stepped up on it and grabbed a cinnamon loaf and a bag thatwent with it, it had brown sparkly swirls all over the bag and the top said, "CINNAMON" in big bold letters.

Raid watched her get the cinnamon down, still thinking, "And, um... Well, this may sound like a stupid question, but... Did you happen to go there, ah... Ninety years ago...?" He asked, scratching his chin.

Ku stepped down and sh looked at him, "Well....maybe....I went through a portal...and I was transported here...and everything looked different.....So, more than likely." she slid the bread loaf into the bag and closed the flap and placed a sticker over the flap to close it.

Raid shook his head and rolled his eyes, "Ah, what the hell. I should stop worryin about it. I did the same thing. Went to that school ninety years ago, went through that damn portal, now everything is different. My life's ruined. But I dunno. I'm a rather memorable person. If you knew me, you probably wouldn't forget," He straightened his back and held out his hand, "Must've just not met you. Name's Raid."

Ku gasped and the bread slipped from her hands and fell to the ground. She stared at him, "R-Raid...?" she asked studdering, and she jumped up on the counter and tackled him down to the ground, "Oh My God, Raid!!!!" She hugged him tight and smiled down at him, "You really don't remember me?! It's Ku!!"

Raid sighed and wrapped his arms around her, "Well, come on, you can't blame me for forgetting, you did too. And I knew your soul looked incredibly familiar," He kissed her on the cheek, "Well, I'm glad I finally gound something positive around here. I lost Shiekron, Sin died, and the last I heard, Kat was married to that dumb bastard Lance. So how's your life in the future?"

Ku sighed, "It's ok....I'm sorry about you though....and Sin...." She stood up "I now own this bakery all on my own...And I found Dauthien in the past, but I lost him again..." She sighed and offered a hand to Raid to help him up.

Raid took the extended hand but, instead of pulling himself up, pulled her back down to the ground, "I like it better down here," He said. He shook his head, "Don't be sorry. Life sucks. It's just a fact. I ended up owning a store not too far from here. I sell things from other dimensions. And who the hell is Dauthien?"

Ku was suprised when he pulle her down to the gound again, "Oh, he's just a close family friend..." She smiled and stood up, "Just a sec..." she walked up to the Signand flipped it to close and closed the blinds, "I won't get good busiss if people see us laying on the floor." she lad down next to Raid and smiled at him, "So what's you store called? And how far away is it?"

Raid laughed, "And you just accept lying on th ground? Oh, wait. I forgot who I was talking to," He grinned and laughed again, then shrugged, "It's called the Borderline. It's a few miles out of town. Out of the way, you know? That way I don't get too many of the mainstream pedestrians looking to get out of the rain. It also serves as my home, when I'm actually here."

Ku smiled and gave him a sneer at his first comment, "And I can see you're as rude as ever." she gently smacked his chest and sighed, "This is my home too. My room is in the back." she pointed at a door behind the counter. "And I NEED mainstream people. I have NO business here...."

Raid shrugged, "Well, maybe for you; You run a bakery. I run a store for supernatural wares, like weapons, runes, even furniture, rugs, clothing. My business is alright because I'm the best in my business. When you have the best shit from every dimension, word tends to get around."

Ku laughed a little, "I wish I could make good breads....I make everything from hand and not alot of it tastes good..." She sighed and looked up at the celing with an intracate victorian pattern, consisting of a cross, angels and demons.

Raid shrugged, "Ah, come on, Ku. Don't be so hard on yourself. Your bread's good, and the fact that you make it all from hand definately counts for something," He looked up at the ceiling as she did, "Nice design. Actually fairly accurate, as far as the characters go."

"I know...I did it myself." Ku said with slight pride, "It took a while, but I think It was worth it..." She looked at Raid, "I really haven't seen you in forever..." She turned to her sde to look at him, "I guess I kind of missed you....." she thought to herself, 'Noooo....Now I probably sound clingy.....' she grimaced slightly and laid back on her back.

Raid sighed and closed his eyes, "You know what, Ku? I kinda missed you, too. You were one of my favorite people in Mountain View. I mean, I loved Kat. I still love Kat. I... Think. But you were always fun to be around," He opened his purple eyes and turned his head towards you, "I kinda wish I had spend more time with you."
