Hi everybody, Meow55 reporting for fan fiction duty sir (or maim) well I'm not in the army, navy or air force and I probably never will be, so anyway, if you are going to read this story, I suggest that you read Love to Rise Again because this is the sequel, Despite All Odds. Thanks again to my reviewers, you rock, well on with the story.
Last time
Then as they were about to kiss again, a knife flew through the air, and landed…
As the knife flew through the air, it cut Ryou along the leg, before it finally ended up in the wall. But before they could see who it was, the hand slid silently out an open window. Ryou's leg collapsed, as he fell towards the ground. "RYOU!" Ichigo yelled, as the young man she loved, hit the ground with a thump. She helped him to his feet, supporting his weight. "I will get whoever did this to you" Ichigo exclaimed, sitting him down on a heart shaped chair. She then raced upstairs to Ryou's medicine cabinet, where she grabbed a bandage. Once she had got this, Ichigo ran downstairs towards the kitchen; there she got a glass of water, to pour onto his wounded leg, and a dry cloth. Once she had come back, Ichigo saw Ryou, about to get up from the chair. "No, sit down" pushing him back into the chair. Ichigo then kneeled down and took the water and started to pour it onto his leg, this was easier because he was wearing shorts. After the wound was cleaned, Ichigo took out a dry cloth to dry it. "You know, you don't have to do this, Strawberry" Ryou said looking down at her. Ichigo just ignored the question and took out the bandage and started wrapping it around his wounded leg. She finished wrapping his leg, by securing it with medical tape. "All done" she said with a sense of relief in her voice. Ichigo then helped Ryou to his feet once again. "Come on, your going to bed" she said, her voice filled with compassion and concern. Ryou trudged up the stairway, with Ichigo helping him, step by little step. 'I wonder why he isn't resisting, Ryou never asks anyone for help' Ichigo thought to herself. Once they had reached his room, after many minutes making their way up the stairs, Ryou got into bed, with the help of Ichigo that is. "You must rest, I will come back in an hour, alright" she said leaving the room. But something was on her mind; she sat down at a table, her hand on her chin. 'Who would attack Ryou, and why?' she wondered to herself. Ichigo thought for several hours, on who would want to hurt the blonde genius that she loved. 'Keiichiro, No, Kish, Maybe, Masaya?' Masaya, the name swirled around in her head, was he the one? The one who hurt Ryou? 'He was angry at him; after all, he still loved me' 'It must have been, who else could it be, the person who hurt Ryou was… Masaya.
