One Door Closes

Ok I have no idea if this sucks or not, it's my first one EVER so please be nice! Just remember it IS an IchigoXRyou!!!

It takes place a couple months after the mews got rid of Deep Blue. I don't know the exact time that they got rid of him, or when Masaya asked her to go to England with him, so I just guessed….

Ch. 1 Leaving

"Ichigo honey, are you done packing!"

"Of course mom," Ichigo lied. She was leaving today and still she had not finished packing. What kind of girl would she be if she finished all her packing on time? It was common knowledge that all girls can pack for weeks to make sure they have everything, yet still manage to forget something.

An hour later Ichigo dropped on her bed exhausted, she was finally done and just in time too, the doorbell rang and Ichigo's heart started beating so fast she could hardly control it. That could only mean one thing, her love Masaya Aoyama was here at last to sweep her off her feet and take her to her happy ending. Well, not ending exactly, she would be back in four months, but Ichigo preferred to think of it that way, it seemed more romantic. She was planning on writing in her diary before she left, but she could do that on the plane.

"AWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! You guys are SO cute together!" Ichigo took after her mom in many ways; one was they were both overly hyper. Sakura (Ichigo's mom) was still going on about how cute they were, but nobody was listening anymore.

"………..Y-you b-better b-b-bring her b-back safely……" Was all her dad was able to mumble through his tears. Though when Masaya bent down to kiss Ichigo, her dad immediately stopped crying to look at him with a fierce gaze that could kill if you were stupid enough to look back at him. Which of course Masaya wasn't.

"Well….." Masaya said after an awkward silence. "We should get going so we don't miss the plane……"

"WAAAAIT!!!! One more picture pleeease!!!!!!!!!! It would make me sooo happy, and I won't see you for four months, I at least need one more picture! I need as many pictures as possible to-"

"Mom! You can take one more picture!" Ichigo was dying to get out of there as soon as possible. She was sick of them! Her dad was constantly trying to convince her not to go, while her mom would randomly burst out crying. It was more than she could handle! All week, all she could think about was how much fun this was going to be, and how no matter what, when the time came for her to leave, she wasn't going to get all emotional.

She was out the door, she made it! She didn't get emotional! One hug and kiss then she was gone, she was so proud of herself! Until the door opened…..and there were her parents waving…..she couldn't help herself! She ran back to them as fast as she could and embraced them more tightly than she ever had before. No matter how annoyed with them she was, she still loved them and would miss them. Her mom and her were both crying, partly for joy, and partly because they knew how much they would miss each other. Then her mom pushed her towards Masaya, and was yelling to her to remember to call, email, and send post cards, anything to keep in touch.

As the taxi pulled them away to the airport, all Ichigo could think of was how she was the happiest person on earth, and how she couldn't wait to spend those four precious months with Masaya. She knew finally that her adventures with the aliens, and the mews, was finally over, and she could (at last) spend the rest of her life with the one she loved. Her adventure was finally over. Or so she thought, how could she know that really her adventure was just beginning.
