Hey Everybody! This is Amanda speaking!I'm not very good withfanfics so forgive me if my grammar sucks or if the story is really confusing!

I appreciate advice so if I do something wrong, please tell me! I would really like to make it good!

It would also help if you knew the characters, so if you're new to the series, you may get a little confused.

Disclaimer: I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew(though it would be super cool if I did)! I really don't know anything about it other than what is written in the mangas!

Okay, here goes nothing!

"It's such a nice day today, "Ichigo said to herself as she played with the dandelion under her fingers. She sighed, "Too bad Masaya couldn't be here to enjoy it with me." (A/N Just to let you all know, my fic takes place after volume 7 of the manga, so Masaya is still in England) She let herself fall backward and looked up toward the sky, "I never thought I'd get so lonely without Masaya."

"Ichigo?"

Ichigo quickly sat up and turned around to see Ryou staring blankly at her. "Ryou?! What are you doing here?!" A surprised expression came over her face as she stared at him.

He came up and sat beside her, "It's really nice today, so I thought I'd take a little walk. You don't look very happy to see me. Did I interrupt something important?"

Ichigo lied back down, "No, I was just thinking."

Ryou laughed, "Well that's a change, something must be wrong. What were you thinking about?"

Ichigo frowned at him, "That's not funny Ryou, surprising as it may seem, I am pretty smart." She looked back toward the sky once again, "I just...didn't think I'd get so lonely without Masaya. Lately he's all I've been thinking about, and the more I think about him, the more I miss him."

Ryou looked down at the ground, "You shouldn't look so sad Ichigo, you look much more beautiful...when you're smiling."

Ichigo looked at him and blushed, "Thank you," she smiled, "I guess you're not always a rude jerk." She closed her eyes, "I'm just worried that...maybe he will lose interest in me. He's been gone so long, it wouldn't be too surprising if he found a prettier, sweeter, smarter girl that he may like more than me."

Ryou still wouldn't take his eyes off of the ground, "Don't say things like that. He will most likely find a bunch of girls smarter than you, but you're definitely the most beautiful, sweetest girl there is." He looked over at her.

Ichigo opened her eyes and looked back at him, "Ryou, I..."

Before she could finish her sentence Ryou had put his lips against hers. Ichigo's eyes widened with surprise, she didn't know what to do, but slowly, her eyes began to close. She completely forgot about Masaya, something she thought would never happen. "Such warm skin," she thought to herself, "it's such a strange feeling, but it feels so...nice." It felt like something she had never felt before, something she had been craving for such a long time.

Ichigo's eyes re-opened and she pulled herself away from the confused boy sitting in front of her. Her eyes began to fill with tears, "Ryou...I'm so sorry, but..."

Ryou finished the sentence for her, "but you love Masaya," he said with a disappointed tone in his voice.

Ichigo tried to hide her tears, "I-I'm sorry!" She got up before she really started to cry, and ran away aimlessly refusing to look back fearing that it would just make her hurt even more. "I'm so sorry Masaya, Ryou, please forgive me for the horrible thing I have just done." She continued running, not really sure where she was going, she just wanted to get away.

Ryou remained in the same spot, he didn't move, he just sat there thinking about what he had just done. Not only did he hurt himself, but he hurt Ichigo, and to him, that is the worst thing he could have done.

Ichigo fell to the ground, she was too tired to keep going, "What am I doing?" She took deep, heavy breaths and wiped the tears from her cheeks, "I can't just run every time I have a problem, I should straighten things out with Ryou," She buried her face in her arms, "but I'm scared, I don't want to, besides, he probably doesn't want to talk to me after what I did to him." It started raining. Ichigo looked up at the clouds and smiled, "So much for my nice day, I guess God is punishing me for being so cruel, I deserve it." Once again, the tears began flowing out of her eyes.

"Ichigo!"

She turned toward the direction from which she had heard the familiar voice. Shirogane stood there, water dripping from his golden hair. "R-Ryou..." His figure gradually began to blur until she finally fainted.

Ichigo woke up in Ryou's bed where she saw him sitting in a chair beside her. "Ryou? What's going on? Why am I in your bed?" Her eyes filled with fear as she thought to herself, "What did he do? He wouldn't...he couldn't have..."

"Why do you look so scared," he seemed to know what she was thinking, "don't worry I didn't do anything stupid, I was just scared that you would get too sick before I could event make it to your house, the cafe was much closer so I brought you here, you were out for a couple of hours."

"Ryou..." She noticed that he was still wet, but it was not because of the rain, it was sweat. His skin was pale. "Ryou what's wrong, are you sick?" She sat up.

"I'm fine. I just caught a small cold."

Ichigo walked up to him and put her forehead against his causing him to turn a bright red. "Oh my God, Ryou you have a fever!" She walked toward the door, "You get into your bed immediately, I'm gonna go get some water!" She left the room closing the door behind her.

Ryou stared at the door for a few moments before climbing into his bed. Soon, Ichigo was back with a bowl of water and a piece of cloth. She sat in the chair where Ryou was sitting before. She soaked the cloth in the water and set it over his forehead. Neither of them said a word to each other until Ichigo broke the silence, "Look what I've done now, I guess I am as stupid as you say I am." Her eyes began to water.

"You're not stupid." Ichigo looked at him. He smiled at her, "Don't be such a crybaby, I told you that you're much more beautiful when you're happy." He wiped the tears from her eyes, "You wouldn't want Masaya to see you like this, would you? I think he would agree with me when I say that you're gorgeous when you have that cheerful smile across your face." Ryou got up from his bed.

"Ryou what are you doing? You're sick, you should be resting!"

"Don't worry I feel much better now, thanks to you." He smiled causing Ichigo to blush. He looked out the window, "It's still raining really hard, you should stay here for the night, I'll sleep in the lab." He began to gather his things and walk out of the room.

"Ryou, wait!"

Ryou stopped and looked back at her.

Ichigo pulled her hands behind her back and looked down at the floor, her cheeks were bright pink, "This is your room, I can't allow you to sleep in the lab."

Ryou stared at her blankly, "Well, I don't want to sleep in the kitchen, I don't have much of a choice."

Ichigo's cheeks began to redden even more, "Well, um...Why don't we just...you know...share the room, that way it'll um...be easier to keep an eye on you while you're sick." She refused to look him in the eye.

He dropped his things and walked toward her. He lifted her chin and pulled the hair back from her face.

"Ryou? W-What are you..."

He put his finger over her lips, "I don't want to pressure you into doing something you don't want to do."

She shook her head, "But..."

Ryou put his arms around her waist, "Ichigo..."
