[hr]

The group was in the shop for a short time, only time to really glance at the menu after settling down. The shop was full and so busy that they would have to wait a minute to even give their order. While Michiko was busy showing Kaida the top 20 favorite Ramen on her list, Takeshi was quiet. He normally kept to himself, but in all honesty he had never been with friends out for food. He was unsure what to say or even do, so he sat visually uncomfortable in his situation, just because he didn’t really know what to do or say, So he just watched Michiko and Kaida as she was engrossed with the list and possible choices for her first bowl of Ramen. 

He looked to Reina and was trying to think of what to say to start a conversation...which was odd as he spoke to her many times while training with her...but this was different. He didn’t have much time to think as suddenly from the front of the store there was screaming then an earth shattering crash as the glass and front of the store exploded from a Bus slamming sideways into the building, blocking the exit and causing massive amounts of dust to cover the restaurant. The force was enough to send the group flying to the floor, catching everyone off guard. 

By the time they would get up, other customers were screaming and scrambling to get to their feet. Surprisingly, none of them were seriously injured. But What was scaring them was the fact the bus was now somehow on fire, and quickly. The store owner was calling out to everyone to exit the back of the building to get away from the smoke which was quickly filling the room. 

Takeshi looked to the bus, but didn’t see much from the fire billowing out from the windows. He froze when he saw a single silhouette that seemed to be staring at him from within the bus. But as quickly as he saw it, it vanished. 

The owner then forced them to exit out the back as well, as they were the last of the group inside the restaurant. Only to find themselves in a darkened alley filled with heavy smoke...Despite the ramen shop being full, not a single customer was in the alley, except for one silhouette at one end.  

This commotion was far west from where Acion and Aurellia were searching...opposite of their view.
