PROLOGUE-3rd person
Ichigo sank to the floor sobbing; tears were streaming down her face, but she didn't try to stop them from falling, For Kish, her beloved Kish was dead, he was lying there stone cold. Of course Ichigo didn't know whether he was dead or not, but she was far too scared too touch him; instead she listened closely to see if he was breathing, but she couldn't hear a thing. Ichigo didn't know quite how long she sat there; to her it felt like days, when really she had only been there for a few minutes. She didn't want to leave Kish, just lying there, but she knew she had no choice, for she must fetch help. So with one last sob Ichigo pulled herself away and ran as fast as she could out of the cave and into the unknown.
Ichigo stumbled through the zoo; she was in such a rush that she didn't notice the monkey taking her hat and the giraffe eating at her hair. She then rushed past the school and did not hear the children yelling out to her. She was in such a hurry that she did not smell the perfume wafting out of Zakuro's house. (Ichigo and fellow mew mews often laughed at Zakuro's expense, for recently she had been through a craze, and her living room was full of Perfume) She just rushed on past, and did not stop until she reached Ryou's café. Ryou would help her; he was sweet, sensitive…strong. Well at least that's what Ichigo thought…
The door was locked. Ichigo banged on it as hard as she could, over and over again, but no one came. This made Ichigo sob even harder, she needed Ryou, she needed him. 'Ryou' she yelled 'Ryou, please' But still he did not come. Ichigo became impatient she picked up some pebbles and threw them at his window. Still there was no answer. Ichigo was so stricken with grief that she seemed to lose all her self-control. She kneeled down and grabbed one of the bricks that had fallen out of the wall earlier on. She stretched her arm back and then leaped forward hurling the brick towards Ryou's window in the process. She gave out a scream as millions of little shards of glass came shattering down. Then came the face at the window.
It was Ryou. Ichigo felt so glad to see him, she didn't even think of how angry he would be, she seemed to have completely forgotten that it was the middle of the night and if someone threw a brick through her window she wouldn't exactly be happy to see the person responsible. Ryou peered out through his shattered window pane 'Whoever threw that' he yelled 'You are a very wicked baka, and you are in so much trouble' Ichigo felt like laughing, and if she hadn't been so upset over Kish she probably would have, after all Ryou was always calling her a baka, he wouldn't be too angry…would he?
A few seconds later Ichigo could hear the thundering of someone running down the café stairs, she then heard the key turning in the lock and the next thing she knew Ryou the guy she loved was standing there his face bright red. The door slammed shut behind him 'Damn' he yelled and kicked the wall 'Ouch' he yelled. Ichigo giggled at this, Ryou was always doing stupid things. 'So you think it's funny' he roared 'throwing bricks through my window in the middle at the night is funny' Ichigo's face fell.
'Ryou it's me, Ichigo' she said 'Please don't be cross' Ryou looked at his love in shock
'Ichigo what are you doing here, someone just threw a brick through my window, did you see him?' Ichigo shook her head
'Ryou it was me' she cried. He ignored her.
'Ichigo, why are you here?' He asked. Ichigo began to cry again, she told Ryou what had happened to Kish, he stared at Ichigo in astonishment, although he had never liked Kish he sympathised Ichigo. Putting his arm round her he tried to think of how Ichigo must be feeling. Scared and upset for her lover Kish was gone. Happy for Ryou was with her, and confused for she loved Kish dearly but here was handsome, brave Ryou by her side.
