Sakura looked around and clicked her tongue.
Well there it was ... the cabin in the woods that she'd been told about in the letter. She squinted, it always seemed so foggy in the forest. It was strange. She started to walk forward slowly and then stopped outside the door.
A little electronic lock was blocking her way. She looked around and pushed it once.
"... Hello?" She said weakly.

"Dear Raven, what is your name" a feminine voice asked.

"... Sa-" Sakura stopped.
Goddammit this was a riddle wasn't it? She took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to scream at the console. Raven ... Raven ... Raven's name? She paused, was it some English thing? That poem by ... that guy ... Poe?
"... Nevermore?" She said hesitantly.

The light on the lock blinked green. A loud metallic click could be heard and the door creeked open.

Sakura stepped into the cabin slowly and looked around.
"Yatta ..." She murmured quietly.

It was a cozy cabin. There was a small TV against the wall, a table with four chairs, and a bed. A workbench was pressed against the back wall. A woman dressed in all black with a veil over her face and a mask sat with her legs crossed.

Sakura bowed her head a little and started taking off her shoes.
"Hello ..." She said quietly.

"Take a seat Miss. There is coffee on the counter" Shroud said, not moving.

Sakura nodded and walked over to the counter, pouring herself a small cup of coffee and then sitting down.
"... Hello," She said quietly, bowing her head a little bit.

"I see you require my services" Shroud said, looking directly at Sakura. She pushed a laminated sheet of paper towards her, containing prices. "What is it that you would like" Shroud said, keeping her voice level.

"Um ... I- I don't ... um ..." Sakura bit her lip as she looked over the price list "I- I'd like ... it's a bit of a strange request,"
She swallowed.
"I- I want a bike, I want a black bike, w- with wings on the side, w- well not wings exactly kinda like ... kinda like how my driver works if that makes sense ..." She paused "Please, A- and if it's not too much trouble ... " Sakura paused again and then nodded, she had enough money "A- and I think I'll need some memory gadgets ... please," She placed her phone and a digital camera on the table "Out of th- these ... two birds please,"
She paused and swallowed again. It sounded a bit silly to her.

"A bird theme I see" Shroud said. "Very well. I can have your equipment done not too long from now. It would take about two days" Shroud said, looking over the phone and camera.

"I can't pay you now ..." She said, slightly less nervous.
Two days? Really? That was fast ...

~Time Skip!~ Cross
Sakura yawned and rolled over in bed. It was nice in there, all warm and soft. It was about 3:00 in the morning. She'd woken up about an hour ago after a bad dream and was just getting ready to drift off to sleep again.
