Chapter 1: Saying Goodbye

"Ichigo go to bed!" I heard my mom yell from the kitchen, washing dishes. Clanging down the last dish she came into the living room where I was watching a late night television show.

"Good grief." She exclaimed, seeing me sprawled out on the couch in a very lazy fashion.

Looking up at her, she moved in front of the TV, blocking my view.

"Its 10:30 young girl and you have school tomorrow" She said sternly. Stifling a yawn I tried to argue with her.

"But mom!" I tried to complain, but her eyes gave me a 'don't give me that BS' danger. Shuddering, I retreated away from the couch. And mom got what she wanted, the TV.

Slowly I dragged myself up the stairs, to get to my bedroom. Once I was in my bedroom I remembered I had forgotten to brush my teeth.

Sighing I went to the upstairs bathroom taking the toothbrush from the toothbrush holder. And putting a dab of toothpaste on the brush, I began to brush my teeth, making my mouth feel tingly afterwards.

I peeked at the bathroom mirror, to be disappointed, only to see a normal human girl looking back. I did not have any sharp canines, no cat ears and tails that popped out when I got excited, and no turning into a cat when I got too excited, only to return into human form with a kiss anymore.

At one time I had cursed these abnormal parts of me, but now I just missed them. It was painful to be ordinary again.

I sighed going into my bedroom striping off my clothes. Standing there naked I felt venerable. So I put on my pajamas. They were shorts and a top, pink colored with a giant strawberry print on the front... I took my hair down and hopped into bed, making a pillow fly off. Giggling to myself I reached with my hand picking it up. I pulled down the bed covers beneath me and placed the pillow back to where my head would lye.

I turned off the light and went to sleep

I was dreaming. It was of me in Mew mew form, all the other mew mews were around me hugging me, as if they were saying goodbye. I on the other hand was frightened at there goodbye's.

Then as if a cue was sent out they all began to walk away. Mint, Lettuce, Pudding, Zakuro-san, walked away leaving me behind.

"Wait!" I cried after them, but they seem to ignore me. Pudding waved at me before they faded into white light.

Ryou, Kiichiro, and Masha appeared beside me, making me blink in surprise. Suddenly I felt arms around my waist.

"Ryou?" I realized turning my head to look at him, caching him in a smile as he hugged me.

Pulling me close for a second, he then released so he could talk.

"Ichigo, it was great, you working with us, Kiichiro and Masha agree. I enjoyed you working with me at Café Mew Mew, and I also enjoyed being with you as you fought." He said his eyes became sad. Kiichiro looked at him sympathetically.

Kiichiro tapped him on the shoulder gently, beckoning him to go. Then they began to go in the same direction that the other mew mews had disappeared into.

"Wait you're not going to leave me too, wait!" I cried out franticly. I tried to move my legs, but they didn't seem to budge. They just gave a little wobble.

They walked away fading into the white light.

"Guys!" I screamed, tears trickling down my cheeks. What more could this dream, no this horrible nightmare take from me. My heart stopped, and my eyes widened.

Masaya…

"No not him!" I screamed at the white light, a nothing place, that surrounded me. But my nightmares would come true, when I heard a familiar voice say my name.

"Ichigo?"

I spun around, there enough was my Masaya. His eyes looked at me kindly and he muttered my name in a mutter.

He was in his kendo outfit, like the days when I had still been new to the fact of liking him; it brought back memories and also brought tears. I stared into his eyes waiting, surely he wouldn't leave me, he was always there protecting me in danger or hurt and pain. He had proven time and time again that he would not let me down, yet here he was standing, making my heart fall to pieces.

"Ichigo, I love you and always will." He said, not moving to comfort me like he usually did. I looked at him with pleading eyes, my heart ached, 'Please not him.' My mind said over and over

"…But this time you must take on you're fate alone, this is part of you're destiny." He said looking away for a second.

"Masaya no…I need you." I pleaded, I felt small and helpless. He just gave a soft smile at my words, then turned to walk away, to go into the white light. My eyes blurred and I screamed out his name.

"Masaya!" I cried, I didn't care even if I was being informal, my boyfriend was going away.

This time as I tried to run, it was successful. But try as I might his body started to fade, when I got there he was completely gone. No trace of him left.

Falling to my knees I started to wail, my eyes burned from crying so much and my throat hurt from screaming, my body started to shake with new found anger.

"What kind of hell is this?!" I yelled using the last amount of energy I had left.

A feeling overcame me suddenly, feeling as if I were plunging into a deep pool, I struggled to breath, gasping, but it didn't seem like I could get any air in my lungs. Was this death? Was that why I was saying goodbye to all my friends? The ground began to shake beneath me as my mind whirled, finding I couldn't look around as everything was a blur.

I had the feeling of being swept over by the deep pool, my eyes strange and my balance became off, falling face down on the pure white floor. My brain urgently tried to think but nothing seemed to be clear like my brain was stupefied.

Then through all the storm and franticness a calming feeling swept over me, the pure white became black, everything around me; black.

I felt tired all over so giving into the weakness I closed my eyes, if this was death, then that was ok. The black calmed me and made me tired; I fell into a dreamless sleep.

I wouldn't know how much I would need that rest, for there was a huge journey ahead, and my fate counted on it...

Thank you very much for reading so far! Sorry I had to end this chapter with such a sour note, saying goodbye to her friends and all.
