Lost Author's Notes: Hi there, this is a Ryou/Ichigo story, and sorry for all of yous out there who loves Masaya, (I just have to make him disappear somehow.) Anyway, this is my first fanfic ever so don't be cruel... Plz review! Summary: Ichigo recalls Masaya's death. Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters. I only own the plot.

Chapter 1. PAIN

"Ichigo dear, it's time to wake up!" Yelled Mrs Momomiya

Ichigo Momomiya, dragged herself up from her bed.

Her eyes heavy with eye bags.

It's been nearly a year since Masaya Aoyama's death, but she is still having nightmares about it.

She hasn't changed much.

Still dreams in class, but it's not about her future with Masaya anymore.

It is about how he died protecting her.

FLASHBACK

Lightning bolts shot out of Pai's fan, While Taruto binded Ichigo.

"Time to die bitch!" shouted Pai

Ichigo watched as the bolt comes closer and close. She closed her eyes, waiting for it to strike.

It never did.

She opened her eyes and sees the blue knight stand in front of her, shielding her from the bolt.

Blue knight took a quick glance at her and flew up to meet Pai.

"I'll never let you hurt her!" Blue Knight yelled.

He sliced Pai across the chest with his sword and Pai dropped to the ground. Blue Knight took one look at him and hurried to Ichigo's side, who is still bleeding very badly.

"Are you okay?" Blue Knight asked.

Ichigo whimpered.

"Lets get you back to the cafe" Blue knight said. He helped her stand up and together they walked towards the exit.

Blue Knight heard a sound behind him and immediately look over his shoulder. He saw a lightning bolt aiming straight at Ichigo.

Without thinking, he threw himself over Ichigo's injured form.

The bolt hit him at the back, and he fall down on his knees.

"Aoyama!" Ichigo cried out. "No, don't.. don't die on m please.."

Blue Knight smiled weakly at Ichigo.

"I..I promised I would protect you...n..now my time is up...be strong Ichigo..I..I love you.."

This was his last words.

His arm fell limp on the ground and immediately, the body morphed into Masaya Aoyama.

"Masaya....Masaya.." Ichigo sobbed...

"Nooo..." She shouted to the world, her voice echoing in the silent darkness.

END OF FLASHBACK

Ichigo blinked, a silent tear rolled off her face as she choke back a sob.

She shook her head, as if trying to forget the past.

Trying to forget his death...
