Chiyo: Well I'm glad you guys like this! Since it's my first fanfic and all... I plan to have a lot of chapters (At max like 25... but I'll proabably only do around 20) so everything is going to go pretty slow... Also, there won't be a lot of fights since I suck at fight scenes XD well... Hopefully you guys like this chapter! Oh, although I didn't get reviews, I got a request from someone (heheh surprise!) and I think what they meant was to keep writing XD I dunno, but if you didn't mean that, (I think you know who you are? I mean... If they're still reading...) then I am sorry and I will gladly keep writing! Because I want to make this fanfic, make people happy that read later on, and hopefully get better at writing!
Chapter 4
Valentines Day!
Masaya sighed, holding back all the tears he had built up. He walked over to Ichigo and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and then left the house. She really didn't want to hurt his feelings, but if she lied, she knew that would hurt him even more...
Ichigo sighed, actually kind of happy that she was able to keep her cool and actually broke off the realtionship. After a good nights rest, she woke up at 6:00 A.M. the next morning. Finally looking into the box that Ryou had given her, she found a dress that goes to the middle of her thighs, but has a ribbon in the back that wraps around her legs and makes it look like the boots she wore which went up to her knees. The light pink ribbons of her dress folded into the dark pink boots. Her pink dress with strawberries on the puffy shoulders made her choose her strawberry head peice, keeping her bangs out of her face. Her sleeves went to her wrists, and they were pretty tight, but it looked good on her. The sleeves went to a point on the back of her hand and was held down by ring with an aquamarine colored jem being held in place by the metal of the ring. The aquamarine color matched perfectly with the aquamarine outline on her boots, and the aquamarine collar that was given to her in the box. Smiling happy, Ichigo put everything on, using an aquamarine colored bow to keep her hair in a pony tail. It was obvious that Ryou had spend a lot of time on this dress- heck this entire outfit! "Oh Ryou..." Ichigo whispered, walking downstairs in her heeled boots, not expecting her parents to be home.
"Ichigo!" Her mother smiled. "You're looking beautiful! What happened in the last 4 months that your dad and I we're gone? Did you get a new boyfriend?"
Ichigo just giggled. She wanted to say yes, she wanted to tell her mother that her boss, Ryou, was her new boyfriend, but she didn't want to lie. "No, I just dumped that tree-hugger." She picked up the heart-shaped boxes on the table. "I'm sorry, but I won't be home today."
"That's okay, your boss explained everything! I hope you have fun at the dance!" Her mother smiled and hugged her beautiful young daughter. "I can't believe you're 16!" (A/N: Or 17 if you watched the TokyoPop translated verson... Or 22 if you only watched Mew Mew Power... Or 17/18 if you watched the Kodansha translation ... Because I watched the TokyoPop translation, and I like even numbers, she's sixteen according to my story, but whatever translation you watched, she uhh... that old and still in school! XD) "My little strawberry grows up so fast..."
Ichigo giggled, handing her one of the boxes she had in her hand. "I made these for you, you said you liked my chocolate when I made some before you left, so happy Valentines day, mom!" She said with a smile.
"AND YOU KISSED HER DIDN'T YOU?!" Ichigo heard her dad yell. "HOW DARE YOU, SHE'S ALREADY DATING SOMEONE!"
Ichigo looking around the corner to see Ryou in a white tux again, but he had a ring, similar to Ichigo's. The tux had a very small tint of aqua through out the entire outfit, which made Ryou even more hot- I mean cute. Yes. Cute...(in all realitly, I really do mean hot...) The ring was also aquamarine, but the metal piece had a dark green mixed with black, white, and lemon yellow. Somehow... It was actually really pretty..."No. I didn't. She was crying, standing in the rain, so I brought her back to the Cafe. That was all." Ryou said, slightly annoyed.
Ichigo giggled. "Ryou." She called, standing in the doorway. Once her milky brown eyes met his aqua eyes, and vise versa, they just froze for a moment. "I-I'm ready..." Ichigo said, breaking the silence.
"A-ah." Ryou stood up from the kitchen chair and bowed to her father. "And she's not with that tree-hugger, so it would have been ok." Ryou chuckled and bowed to her mother. "Thanks for letting me in, Mrs. Momomiya." He waved and Ichigo and Ryou left the house. "You look amazing..." He said, opening the passenger door for her to get in.
"You do too." Ichigo said, a slight smile on her face. "Why am I the only one in the car?" She asked.
Ryou smiled. "Keiichiro's picking up Lettuce and the others. He wanted to make sure he had enough room in his car, so he sent me to pick you up..." He said, saying that just because it was the first thing on his mind.
Ichigo giggled, buying it. "Well, thank you for the ride." Ryou nodded.
"Ah, they won't know you, and Keiichiro's way better with people then I am... So-"
"So he got them in without a problem, but you'll need a plan." Ichigo giggled.
With a smirk, Ryou shook his head. "I already have a plan." The car gently stopped, and everyone looked at Ryou with comeplete shock. He opened the door for Ichigo, and let out his hand for her. Ichigo blushed slightly, taking his hand. Once she was out, he closed the door and the two hooked arms.
They were able to walk in without a problem. "Ah, there you are, Ryou! And flirting already." Keiichiro laughed.
"I-I'm not flirting!" Ryou said, wanting to yank his arm away from Ichigo, but Ichigo giggled and held his arm with a stronger grip. She gave Ryou a kiss on the cheek, and finally let go.
The two blushed a little, but hid it as well as they could. Lettuce walked over in a green dress with a diamond colored collar, gloves, and ribbons in her hair for her braids. Her flats were green as well. Pudding wore a yellow dress that went to her knees with yellow flats wearing a light green collar. Both of the girls wore rings that had their birthstone in it, Lettuce had diamond and Pudding had peridot (A/N: please note that I used google for the colors. PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU correct me if their birthstone is wrong... Also, the color of their collar is their birthstone color, that's why they're different colors, the dress is the color of their mew outfit, if you were wondering..). "You two look lovely!" Ichigo smiled. "Where's Izumi and Mitsukie?" She asked.
"Oh!" Ryou handed the girls a necklace. "I forgot to add them into the boxes with the dresses, I hope you like them." Ichigo smiled and put on her neckalce with an aquamarine colored jem in the middle of a strawberry. "And it's Izumi's birthday, and we gave her what she wanted."
"Oh, she wanted me to tell you to meet her at the tree outside, she's in it... She wants to walk in with someone she's known for a while." Keiichiro said.
Ryou nodded and walked out of the building. Keiichiro motioned the girls over to the door. "You'll see why in a second." He smiled.
"Oh my god. Is that Ryou?! RYOU SHIROGANE?! Wow, Izumi is really lucky!" People started talking about Ryou and Izumi. Everyone watched as Ryou helped Izumi from the tree. She wore a dress similar to Ichigo's, but the ribbons wrapped up, and around her arms, then around her neck. Her dress was a beautiful shade of dark red. The ribbons were sky blue, and her boots were light purple, almost looking blue. "Dang, maybe I can meet him!" Girls started talking.
"Thank you, Mr. Ryou." Izumi nodded, not expecting to be helped down. Ryou held out his hand with a smile. "Ah... Mr. Ryou, you shouldn't... I'm capeable of walking on my own!" She giggled. "I just wanted to wait to go inside until you were here, Mr. Ryou."
Ryou chuckled. "You don't need to add 'Mr.' before my name, Izumi. Let's go inside." Izumi nodded and grabbed Ryou's hand.
They walked inside, and Izumi stopped at the doors, making Ryou stop as well. "So many people..." She whispered.
With a smirk, Ryou stepped inside first, allowing everyone to start screaming for him. "Come on, can't start a party without the host, right?"
Izumi giggled and followed Ryou. "It's a lovely day. I'm glad!"
Ryou smiled. "Yeah, it is. Oh, before I lose you to the crowd, here. Happy birthday, and happy Valentines Day from Keiichiro, the girls, and I."
Izumi blinked confused and took the box, her white hair pulled into a braid resting on her shoulders, getting in the way of seeing the box fully. "Thank you... Mr- ... Thank you Ryou!" She smiled and gave him a big hug.
Everyone started screaming for them to kiss, since so many people shipped them, but Ryou just nodded to Izumi and walked back to the group. 'Wow... Ryou is a nice guy... He's just not that good with people like Keiichiro is... And not to mention that he looks freaking hot in that tux and his aqua eyes...' Ichigo thought, not realizing what she was even thinking. "Ryou Shirogane!" A girl ran over to Ryou. "U-Uh..." This stopped Ichigo's thinking as a dull pain entered her chest.
Ryou sighed and turned around. "Yes?" He asked, trying not to sound like a complete jerk at the moment.
"W-would you... Allow me to dance with you when the music starts?" She asked.
"Ah, first and second dance is reserved..." Ryou patted the girls hair. "Sure, don't want to make anyone mad here, right?" Once Ryou said this, Ichigo almost broke down in tears. Why? Why does she care? She hates him! So why did it hurt so much to see girls wanting to dance with him?
The girl looked up, her blue eyes sparkling. "Ahh thank you!" She smiled and bowed.
Regretting what he said, Ryou had to dance with the girl. At least he said that the first and second was reserved! Once the music started playing, everyone watched Izumi walk over to Ryou. "You've been nice to me my entire life Mr- ... Ryou... I'd like to share my first dance with you, if that's okay." Ryou nodded, and the two started dancing.
Ichigo walked to the balconey. Why did it hurt when other girls were talking to him? She sighed, keeping her hand on her necklace. After dancing with Izumi, he walked to the balconey as well. The girl who wished to dance with him, was taken by other guys, so Ryou was hoping he didn't have to dance with her. "What's up?" He asked, leaning against the railing with Ichigo.
Ryou startled her, causing her to jump a little bit. "What do you mean, what's up? I'm not a fan of parties, so I came out here for a bit."
"What's on your mind?" He asked, rephrasing his question.
Once Ryou was looking at Ichigo's milky brown eyes, Ichigo couldn't help but just look back at him, neither of them realizing that Izumi, Mitsukie, Lettuce, Pudding, and Keiichiro were watching. Mitsukie from the corner, looking out the window, having fun with her friend, Lettuce and Pudding being themselves and having a lot of fun doing almost nothing, Keiichiro just looking out the window, and Izumi... Well she was hoping that this would be the best chance for them to start dating, so she was watching of course. Ichigo didn't notice what was going on, but Ryou did... His cheeks started to turn a light red. When did Ryou ever blush? They pushed themelves off the railing and still gazed at each other. They leaned in, closing their eyes. Ryou had wrapped his arms around her waist, and Ichigo had wrapped her arms around his neck. Ryou's cheeks got a bit redder once he felt Ichigo's warm breath on his lips, which was only a few inches away from her lips. Ichigo's cheeks almost instantly got deep red, feeling the warmth of Ryou's breath on her lips. They both hesitated for a moment, but then continued. The Mews, along with Keiichiro, had taken a video of the entire thing. Ryou slowly pushed his lips onto hers, gently. Ichigo did the same. Kissing each other passionately (A/N: Just a kiss -.- stop getting dirty ... STOP NO I DON'T WRITE THAT AHHH) the two felt as if time had stopped. After a good 9 seconds, they pulled away. Ichigo, noticing what just happened, pushed herself away from Ryou. "N-n-nothing's on my mind!" She said, trying to erase what just happened.
Ryou smirked. "Sure." He said, leaning against the railing again, his cheeks slightly red. Sure he had feelings for Zakuro, but gave up the moment she joined the Mews. And his feelings for Ichigo was always stronger. "I can still tell something's on your mind, Ichigo. You can tell me..."
Ichigo sighed and stood next to the blondie. "Well... I guess you can say I'm..."
"Jeaous." Ryou finished Ichigo's sentence.
"Yeah..." Ichigo nodded.
The girls and boys had fun the rest of the day, nothing else special really going on since Ichigo dropped the subject there. Everyone had left and Izumi ran over to Ryou. "Ah M- Ryou! Thank you for the necklace and the dance!" She said to Ryou once he was alone. "Did anything special happen for you today?" She asked, like she always does every Valentines day.
Mitsukie walked over in her normal outfit on her skateboard. "Stop talking, Izumi!" Izumi looked at her. "Chimra Anima! Hurry up! Let's go!" Mitsukie, although un-noticed a lot had a big role to play.
Mitsukie: THERE I AM. WHERE WAS I?!
Chiyo: Please don't kill me... I have a reason... I have a plan... You're going to be a star, Mitsukie, just don't kill me *breaks down in tears*
Mitsukie: No no! It's okay! I'm not mad! Please stop crying! It's fine!
Chiyo: *wipes away tears* If you say so.. But yes, I know Mitsukie hasn't really been here, but these next couple of chapters is where she shines! Don't miss out next time on 'So Everything's Wrong?!' ... From the chapter title, you can tell that in the chapter 'It's all Coming Together' we were off! Who's ruling the Cyniclons now? What's going on?! *starts mumbling to myself about a bunch of idea's so I don't forget them(
Izumi: Uh... Well it's 4 in the morning when she started writing this... It's not uh *looks at clock* SHOULDN'T YOU GET SLEEP, CHYO? IT'S 6 IN THE MORNING!
Chiyo: Shhh Izumi... Ideas... *huddles next to the computer typing every idea*
Izumi: *sigh* well... Like she said, don't miss out next time on 'So Everything's Wrong?!' What'll happen?! Read to find out!
