Hello everyone~!
It's 2015 now, and this story has had so much potential that I couldn't let it go. Now that I'm older and can actually write, I've re-done "Lost Forever" under the same title, but with more detail and better explanations. I hope the many of you who came around over the years have enjoyed it for what it was, and appreciate the revamp!
Please keep an eye on those warnings c; I'm very serious.
Warnings: Pretty graphic descriptions of blood and violence, character death, and angst.
Pairings: Ryou x Ichigo, one-sided Kisshu x Ichigo
Disclaimer: I don't own Tokyo Mew Mew! If I did, Ryou would be with Ichigo, and Masaya would never exist! Muah ha ha ha.
Brace yourselves,
Feels are coming.
"Ichigo-san?"
She lifted her head slowly, hardly daring to breathe. Mud stained both of their uniforms, dirtied them almost beyond recognition. The red-haired girl couldn't remember when they'd suddenly taken a fall. "Lettuce..." she whispered. Her eyes peeked out from unkempt bangs, tears threatening to spill over. "I-I can't..." Her hand was closed over her mouth and nose, and Lettuce understood.
The older girl's breath hitched and then Lettuce was kneeling beside her, pulling the distraught catgirl into a tight embrace. "Oh, Ichigo-san." Hands petted her hair and Ichigo let herself go, crying freely into the others' uniform. "We'll find him soon. Please, hold yourself together until we can, Ichigo."
Her chest was too tight, like something invisible was slowly choking her to death. The wind turned in their direction again and she stiffened; the scent was so much stronger now. There was no mistaking whose it was this time. And now she knew where he was.
"Shirogane!"
