I sat and stared at the wall that i hadbeen staring at for the last couple of days. Ever since his funeral i had not moved. Time flew in a blur for me. The last battle always raging in my head.

Flashback

"No, masaya. don't, please you'll die." i yelled with tears running down my face.

Masaya was struggled to keep his hold on deep blue. His beautiful face smiled at me in reasurence. "It willl be ok, ichigo. Trust me"

I nodded in defeat and held out my bell as i uttered the fateful words.

As my power blasted at masaya i heard deep blue scream. " Your gonna use the mew aqua to. That will kill us both."

No i yelled. but it was to late. The bubbles of mew aqua shone out front my loved one's body as i could do nothing to stop it.

But i had to try. Running into the light i searched for his angel scuptured face to find it laying on the lit floor.

I searched for a pulse. a breath. But none was to be found. He was dead.

Present

Fresh tears boiled over the edge as i fell into the pillow. darkness soon covered my vision.

"Ichi...Ichi wake up." Twirped the voice of masha. Masha, i bolted right up, nearly hitting masha in the process, and looked around.

Looking, hoping to see that it was all a nightmare. That masaya was alive and we had won.

Nothing. It was not a dream and masya was really dead. I let go of the dam walls that kept the floods at bay and lay face down in the pillow.

I sobbed, i screamed, i yelled. I let it all out. I think Mum and dad came in once but i was to crazed to care. The only feeling i had was a small warm body rubbing soothingly on my back.

Finally the sobs turned to hichups and i turned from my tear-soaked pillow. Masha was there. His large pink eyes stared at me in concern.

"Ichi ok. What wrong ichi..ichi.g..o....ichigo." He questioned in his cute voice. I looked at him with a blank stare.

Then i curled up into a ball gently sobbing. Masha gently eased himself into my arms and laid there with me, his wings and tail fluttering soothing on my arms.

Two more days passed. I think the mew club came to visit but i couldn't be sure. Everything was blurry.

The only thing i remember clearly was rough trying to take masha but i wouldn't let go of him or him me. His tail stayed wrapped around my wrist.

I wouldn't let him go. Masha was my friend. My comforter. My masaya.

I lost weight, i wouldn't eat or drink. soon a home drip was plaed into my arm to keep me from fading away into bones.

Mum and dad thought i was beginning to go crazy. they could here me talking at night to someone they couldn't see. But masha always talked back.

i think i was beginning to see he wasn't masaya but someone else intirerly. But i still wound't let him go.

"Ichigo need eat." Masha said to me one night. I shook my head no. I couldn't bring myself to even think about food.

" Ple...ease ichi..go. For masha" He begged. " Fine, i sighed. That night i pulled out the drip and walked downstairs. I wobbled the whole wayu there but

Masha made sure i didn't fall. I ate dinner and mum and dad talked to me. I wasn't listening. I was thinking about Masha.

I could know see that even tho he was a robot. Masha had a personality and a soul just like a human.

If it wasn't for masha i would be dead. I knew that was for certain.

Three days passed and masha started to act and talk more like a human.

Masaya started to fade back into the backround. I could see that i was falling in love with a robot. But what could i do.

I was stuck. And by the way rough looked at me when he was here. He knew to.

That night i held masha for dear life as i cried. This time, the tears weren't for Masaya. But for Masha nd me.

For masha couldn't love me back, He had a personality, feeling and a soul. But he couldn't love me even if he tried, i was to broken for anyone.

This morning masha was gone. I searched and searched, i creid and cried. Yet he did not come.

I dressed and waited for my parents to leave and then ran out of the house.

I ran, not caring where i was going. Falling in love with masaya ended in his death. Falling in love with a robot was going to be mine.

I finally knew where my desternation was. Tokyo bridge.

Wind whipped threw my hair, Cold seeped into my bone's but i still ran.

Running, running for eternity. Finally the bridge came in view. the road was deserted. Good.

I stepped onto the railings and looked down. The water was like small unbroken glass. The sunlight reflected off of it like diamonds.

I prepeared to jump. "Don't Do it Ichi." I froze. My body stiffened in surprise. slowly, my body turned to face the beautiful voice.

I gasped. The voice belonged to a 15 year old boy. He had blonde hair that in some places seemed pink, He wore cargo pants and a black t-shirt.

But his eyes are hat stunned he. For his eye's were pink, like her's when she transformed. Like..." Masha?"

Ichigo questioned cautisly. Her heartbeat quickened.

He smiled, "Yes, My ichi," He Stepped to hold her in a loving imbrace. " As a robot i've alway's wanted to do something."

"What was that." Whispered Ichigo. Masha Gently lifted her head up to meet her lips in a passernit kiss.

No-one noticed another bonde haired boy walk away. He had seen that she had loved the little robot. So he had made that love possible for ichigo...

For his strawberry.
