Flashback

"Ichigo, I'm sorry. It's not you, it's me. I'm sorry." He said to a rose-headed girl. "Masaya, Why?" She inquired to the boy. "I've found someone better." She was strong. Never to show a tear to the one who broke her heart. "Then I'll leave." She did.

It had been three months since he left. Ichigo took it way too hard. The pain was killing her. She began cutting into her arm, shortly after. It made it the pain double.

I tried to kill my pain,

But only got more.

It began to feel better. She lay down on her now gothic style bed, after he left her world was black. Her room, once strawberries and fun, now was gothic emo, and depressing. Her hair once rose. Now was black, with red streaks grazing down here and there. She was dying, inside already dead. Since her parents died last year in a car accident, everyone was oblivious as to her knowledge. Except for one.

I lay dying,

But she was betrayed, she regretted ever loving him.

And I'm pouring,

Crimson regret,

And Betrayal.

She screamed as the pain wavered in, then back out.

I'm dying, praying,

Bleeding, and screaming.

She began to question herself.

Am I too lost, to be saved?

Am I too lost?

She needed salvation.

My god, my tourniquet,

Return to me salvation.

My god, my tourniquet,

Return to me salvation.

'Does he think about me at all any more? He's been gone so long.'

Do you remember me,

Lost for so long,

'Will you be there when I die, Masaya? Or will you forget I ever existed. Forever and always, Feh, some promise.'

Will you be on the other side

Or will you forget me?

She prayed, for the bleeding to stop, to die.

I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming

'There's no one to save me anymore, I'm too lost to be saved, there's no one else.'

Am I too lost to be saved

Am I too lost?

'No Salvation.'

My God, my tourniquet

Return to me salvation.

My God, my tourniquet

Return to me salvation.

"I want to die! There's no one left!" She screamed.

I want to die!

My God, my tourniquet

Return to me salvation.

My God, my tourniquet,

Return to me salvation.

'I need deliverance, I need to die." Ichigo grabbed a dagger, one that Kisshu had given her awhile back, saying if she ever wanted to kill Masaya, she'd have something to do it with. Back then of course, she thought that the very thought was ridiculous!

My wounds cry for the grave,

My soul cries for deliverance,

Will I be denied, Christ, tourniquet,

My suicide?

Ryou rushed into her room, right as she lifted the dagger. "Ichigo, NO!" He dived for her, knocking the dagger out of her hands. "WHAT IN THE SEVEN FREAKING HELLS ARE YOU DOING?" He had lost his control. "Rrr-yyy-oo-uu, I-I didn't know you cared." She said softly, nearly inaudible to trained cat ears. He instantly softened. She said Ryou. Not Shirogane. She called him by his first name. Ryou. "Of course I do. I always have. I love you Ichigo." "Ryou." She wrapped her arms around him, and kissed him. It probably would have lasted longer if not resulting in something else, but he felt her blood run down their intertwined arms. He pulled away. "Strawberry, I think you're bleeding." Her ears and tail though there was no bow, came out. He tried to grab her arm without hurting her but she struggled to get away. He was stronger. "Ichigo, who did this to you?" When she didn't speak, he knew the answer immediately. "Oh my god, why did you do this to yourself? You could have bled to death, you idiot!" He lost control again. "Ryou, what did you think I was doing before you came in?" Ryou's ears and tail popped out matching hers, as he for the first time in forever was embarrassed. "Oh, yeah." "Hey Ryou," "Hmm?" "Thanks." He smiled. "If I hadn't stopped you, I'd never be able to do this." He pushed her back on the bed and kissed her passionately, fiercely, but gentle nonetheless. "Ooo… I like it," She said once he pulled away for lack of air. "Oh yeah and Ry," "Hmm?" "Nice ears earlier." "What?" They came out again. She rubbed them and he purred. "Ah! Since when do my ears pop out?" He questioned when he realized why he was purring. "I dunno. I like them though fuzzy. Come on, I'm gonna need help bandaging my arm." "Okay, but promise to never ever call me fuzzy again." "Not in your life." He kissed her then shook his head. "What am I gonna do with that Baka-Strawberry."
