Back at the Crescent Cafe
10:30 am
The place was alive with the various comings and goings of customers. I had been another very profitable morning. Now, the crew was in a loll period as they awaited the lunch crowd. The ladies in the front spent their time cleaning the counters, tables, and floors. The Yasha and the guys where in the kitchen area. They divided their time by cleaning and doing prep work, for the next flow of patrons. Inuyasha was taking this time to prepare some goodies to take to the Higurashi shrine for her mother's service. She was making her mother's favorite dishes. She made chicken nanbanyaki, butanabe pork casserole, and buta kakuni (which is a Simmered pork dish). She even made sweet rice cake called sakuramochi, and kushidango (sweet dumplings on bamboo skewers). By 11:30 she had several boxes ready to go along with extras for the shop and for her employees. Especially, Juromaru. He adored sakuramochi was his absolute favorite. Whenever he was feeling sad or depressed, Yasha's mother and grandma would make sakuramochi for him. Yasha always made sure that, there was an extra box of the treat just for him at the end of the day.
*Rrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnggg* *rrrriiiiiiinnnnnggggg* *rrrrrriiiinnnnnggggg*
"Hello and thank you for calling the Crescent Cafe, my name is Bankostu. How my I help you?" answers Ban. He grabs the pen and the order pad, and starts to take down the order.
"Hello Ban." Said a low sexy voice. "How are you doing?"
"Hey there, Sakura, how's it going, babe?" Ban smiles wickedly as he recognizes the voice. It was Sakura Tomae, a hot little number he'd been trying to get with. "Still slaving away for that old goat at the tower?"
"Yeah, it's a living," laughed Sakura Tomae, an executive secretary at Takeuchi Tower. "I missed you at the Rave party last Saturday night. I bought a new outfit and everything," she said in a pouty tone.
"Aww. I'm sorry, sweet cheeks. I had to work that night. But, If you've been a naughty girl, I might be presided to take you to that new club in Shinjoku this Saturday night," he cooed seductively.
"Oh, yes! I've been a very, VERY naughty girl."
"You've got yourself a date little lady," he smirked, "You'd better be up for it!"
"Hmmm, you bet, I can't wait," she smiled. "But, business must come first. I need a rather large order for an early morning meeting tomorrow, can you guys do it for me?" Asks the woman on the other end of the phone.
"All right, for what time do you need this order tomorrow?" He asked.
"I need it for 8:30 am sharp in the Executive boardroom. Can you handle it?" She asked.
"No doubt, we will have it there for you."
"All right, here's what I will need."
"Okay, you what a dozen assorted muffins, " he scribbles. "Yes, we make breakfast sandwiches. We offer them on bagels toast and crescents. We offer a choice of bacon, sausage, steak, ham and turkey." He stops to listen to the customer on the phone. "Okay, you want two dozen assorted sandwiches, would you like them with or without cheese?" Pause. "Well, we have American, Swiss, Muenster, and Jack." Pause. "Okay you want American, Swiss, and Jack. Yes, I got that. Will you be needing beverages?" Pause, then writes down, "Yes, we still have Yasha's apple-nut crumb coffee cake, it's the best in town!" He laughs as he scribbles down an order for a large coffee cake. "All right, may I read this back to you?"
"One dozen assorted muffins
2 dozen breakfast egg sandwiches
with
Bacon, ham, steak, and turkey
and
American, Swiss, and Jack cheeses
One large apple-nut crumb coffee cake
Ban finishes reading the order back to the customer, "Will there be anything else?"
"No, I that will be all." Said the woman. "Now you can deliver that, right?"
As Ban finishes the order, the rest of the kitchen crew is helping to load the boxes Yasha prepared in the back of her truck. In the front the bell above the door chimes. In walks a middle aged woman in a very expensive pale blue dress suit, with a pure white mink stole draped over her left shoulder. She stops just inside of the shop, and takes a tentative look around. Slowly she walks up to the counter, all the while turning not to let anything touch her.
Kisa, who was filling the shelf behind the counter, turns to greet the woman. "Good morning, welcome to the Crescent Cafe." She bows to the woman, who has yet to acknowledge the girl's greeting.
Kisa frowns slightly, 'Maybe she didn't hear me?' She thought. So she smiled and tried again, only to be cut off by a white gloved hand in her face. "Excuse me, but I am looking for the owner. One Inuyasha Shinta, is she available?" Asked the grand dame in a most commanding voice.
Kisa, taken aback by the upper handiness of the woman, 'Oh no, this old dragon didn't!!' She stood for a minute staring at her. This served to aggravate the woman, who was now lightly drumming her fingers on the counter. "Young woman, did you hear me? I wish to speak to you employer. I suggest you retrieve her."
The smile long since abandoned, Kisa squared her shoulders. "I afraid Inuyasha is busy at the moment, but I can assure you, that I am more than-"
The hand went up again, stopping a now red faced Kisa. "Young woman, I came to speak to Miss Shinta, and to Miss. Shinta ONLY. Now, either you fetch her, or I will leave this shop. And, trust me if I leave this shop, I can guarantee that this place will be out of business so fast, it will make you pretty little head spin. Now, Miss. Inuyasha Shinta, please." The elder woman said with a frosty smile.
Kisa returned the smile and bowed to the woman. "Of course, if you'll just wait here, please." Kisa turned to Mai, who was nervously watching the entire exchange; from the table she was sitting, "Mai, could you finish filling the shelves and watch the counter for me."
"Uh, y- yeah, Kisa. Sure thing."
"Thanks." Kisa turned and went into the kitchen. There she found Ban, Ren and Juro going over the prep list for lunch. They looked up as a very heated Kisa barged in. "Where the hell is Yasha?" She asked through clenched teeth.
Seeing the state the angry girl was in, Ban smiled, Ren backed away, and Juromaru walked quickly to the storage room to retrieve Yasha. Coming out with a frown, Yasha stops short when she catches the angry look on Kisa's face.
Looking at the two brothers, Yasha stares. "What did you two idiots do now?" They held up their hands and shook their heads.
"It's not them, Yash. There's this-this-this woman out there and the old bag is demanding to see you and only you."
"Well, did she say who she was or what she wanted?"
"Yeah, she said she wanted you, and no, she didn't who she was. But, she looks like she's dripping with money."
"Inuyasha took off her apron, and washed her hands. "Hey Juro, could you make sure I have everything ready to go. Ban and Ren, I left the menu and an order list for tomorrow's deliveries. Oh, and Ban make sure you place the orders before 3:00 today. If we want to have supplies for tomorrow and Friday."
Juromaru nods, then makes for the back door to check Yasha's truck. The brothers give her the thumbs up and started checking the order lists and inventory. "Kis, why don't you chill for a minute. I got this."
"Thanks Yasha, that old bat was getting on my last nerve."
"What doesn't get on you nerves?" Said Ban.
"Shut the hell up Ban, you long haired freak of nature!"
Yasha smiles and goes to see her new opponent. From the doorway, she and the woman lock eyes. 'Damn, Kis was right, she does look filthy rich. I wonder what she's doing here?' Yasha smiles and walks up to the woman, and bows to her. "Good morning to you ma'am. I am the owner of this establishment, Inuyasha Shinta." She said, holding out her hand to the woman, "How may I help you today?"
The grand dame regarded Inuyasha with an appraising stare before taking her hand. 'This little wisp of a girl is the one to help me? She looks like she's barely out of diapers.' The woman smirked, "Well, Miss. Shinta, I am Mrs. Takihiko Wantanabe, and my very dear friend of mine, Mrs. Hana Shinohara, recommended you highly. She said you would be able to handle the little problem that has occurred."
Yasha was intrigued, she offered the woman a seat at one of the tables. Then she set up a tea tray with teacakes and delicate little butter cookies. She placed the tray on the table between them, and poured a cup for the woman. "Mrs. Shinohara refereed me to you? She is one of my best customers. It was very kind of her to remember me," Yasha smiled and offered the tray of sweets to her visitor. "So, how can I be of service to you?"
'Hmm, she seems intelligent enough, maybe she can help.' "Yes, I'll come right to the point. My daughter is about to be married."
"Congratulations"
"Thank you. That what bring me here." Selecting a small cookie from the tray, she take a tentative nibble. She blinks in surprise at the smooth and creamy taste. Enjoying the flavor as the buttery confection, that seemed to melt in her mouth. Taking a sip of tea, "This is very good. I wasn't expecting something so infused with butter to be so light."
"The trick is in the mixing." Yasha explains after sipping her tea. Mrs. Wantanabe nods and daps at the corners of her mouth with a napkin.
"Yes, well, as I said my daughter Sango is about to be married at the end of the month. My husband and I are hosting an engagement party for her and her fiancee at our country club," taking another sip and one of the cakes this time. "My Sango and her intended wanted to have an English style menu. They have acquired a love of English cuisine dining," she sighs as she rolls her eyes in dismay. "The clubs chef and staff are not familiar with that style of cooking. So, we had to hire an outside catering service. We had finally found one, but at the very last minute they informed me that they will be unable to fulfill the contract. Herein, lays my dilemma you see."
"In other words they left you 'high and dry,' am I right."
"Yes," sighed Mrs. Wantanabe. "My daughter and I were at a loss, until I remembered a garden party Mrs. Shinohara hosted in honor of her father's visit from England last year. I called her and that was when she gave me your name. You did such a wonderful job, everything was just superb! I was wondering if you would be interested in undertaking this job for me. Now, mind you, money will be no object. I am willing to cover any extra expenses that may occur for supplies needed."
Yasha listened intently to the woman, then graced her with a small smile. "Mrs. Wantanabe, where, when and at what time is the party to take place?"
With a small ray of hope shining in her eyes, sighed in relief said, "Sunday evening at the Miyazaki Gradens. Cocktails at 5 pm, with dinner promply at 6 for 350."
"Miyazaki Gardens on Sunday? This Sunday?!?" Gasped Inuyasha.
Mrs. Watanabe paled at Inuyasha's expression. 'Oh no, this girl's my last hope!' Grabbing Yasha's hand with both of hers, "Please, you are my last hope. There are going to be some very important people at this affair, I'll be a laughing stock if you refuse," she pleaded. "Please, name your price!"
"Mrs. Watanabe, money has nothing to do with it. Its just that, it is a rather tall order for such a short time frame. I mean, you are only giving me three days to prepare a menu and have it ready to serve. I just don't thi-" Yasha stops when she sees the elder woman's look of utter dejection. 'Wow, she looks like all the air was just sucked out of her. Oh man, I just can't do this in such little time. It's almost 400 people!' Sighing, Yasha gives her a bright smile, "I will be more than happy to do this for you ma'am. Let me get my planner, and we can map out the kinds of foods you and your daughter had in mind."
"Thank you so much, my dear. I can now see why Hana had so much faith in you." Smiled the woman.
"Keh, It will be our pleasure, Mrs. Wantanabe."
"Oh no, my dear. The pleasure will be mine, and please call me Tokio."
