Me: Sorry about the wait! Updating becomes hard for me to do sometimes. Well anyway, I'm starting school in 10 days and I'll be in Washington D.C. for a week, so that means, I might not update to quickly. So before the 10 days until school, I'll try to update again. But two updates in a week means. I need atleast 5+ reviews so I CAN do two updates. 5+ Reviews per chapter. So I hope you enjoy.

Chapter 7: 2'd day end's new things begin.

Song: Masked colors

By: Me

I masked my colors so perfectly until

you came in my life.

My feelings got confused and my mask slipped,

And I still pushed my feelings into my mask.

((chorus))

I pushed them away. (away)

I wanted to see the day. (the day))

Do you care?

Am I there in your thoughts?!

Where next?

Is it for the best?

Is it for the best?!

((next verse))

I came to rest with my feelings finally.

And then you came.

Prying my colorful mask off my face.

You saw my true colors.

((Chorus))

I pushed them away. (away)

I wanted to see the day.

Do you care?

Am I there in your thoughts?!

Where next?

Is it for the best?

Is it for the best?!

your always there in my thoughts

do you care for much for me!

So much.

Why do you care so much?

You took off my mask and you saw all my colors!

You always seem to try!
Why oh why!

You saw the real me!
So why are you here!

((chrous)))

I pushed them away. (away)

I wanted to see the day. (the day))

Do you care?

Am I there in your thoughts?!

Where next?

Is it for the best?

Is it for the best?!

Why do you care so much?


Ichigo dug through her bag of chick flicks. She found one. It was about a Guy who really loved to tease a girl, and she fell in love with him...

Ichigo thought for a minute. That really does sound like... NO! NO!!!!! IM NOT...

"Yo." Ryou said tapping her shoulder causing her to shierk.

"DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT NYA!" Ichigo shouted her ears and tail popping out.

Ryou couldn't help it. He started petting her cat ears. Ichigo started purring..

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Ichigo finally snapped out of her trance.

"I couldn't help it. They're just so soft.." Ryou laughed.

"Pfft. Found the movie." Ichigo said as she waved it in his face.

"Oh man..." Ryou groaned. "WHY GOD, WHY DIDN'T I JUST GIVE HER A RAISE AND NOT GO ALONG WITH THIS BET WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY..." He thought, but he wouldn't let Ichigo hear that.

"Nya!" Ichigo said as she sat down next to Ryou, on the couch.

"Your so weird Strawberry." Ryou snickered.

Ichigo just glared and got into the movie.

About 20 minutes in. Ryou got bored and he looked over at Ichigo. "She's cute." He thought. "Wait... did I just think that! NO." Ryou sighed. "There's no use in denying it. I'm in love with Ichigo Momoiya. I've been in love with her since I met her." Ryou thought. "Whoa, these chick flicks are really making me think like a girl." Ryou chuckled.

"What's he laughing at?" Ichigo said glancing at Ryou. So she poked him.

"yeah?" He said.

"What are you laughing at?" Ichigo asked.

"You." He smirked.

"I didn't DO anything!" Ichigo shouted.

"You just look so soo soooooo bakaish." Ryou smirked knowing that he got to her.

"Nya?!!" She shouted. "How do I look baka!"

"I don't know, you just do!" He laughed.

"Your such a dummy." Ichigo smiled.

"How?" Ryou said.

"You just are." Ichigo laughed.

"Hmm." Ryou sighed.

"You know, you don't have to be so sad Ryou." Ichigo said.

"What?" Ryou said snapping out of his thoughts.

"You always look so sad." She sighed.

"Oh." Ryou said. -Does she really care that much.?- he thought..

"Heh. We argued through most of the movie." Ichigo yawned.

"Yeah." Ryou sighed.

The movie ended and Ichigo had to leave.

"See you tomorrow Ryou!!!" Ichigo said as she ran out.

"Hey wait up." Ryou shouted.

"What?" Ichigo shouted.

"Wait I'm going to walk you home." Ryou shouted.

"Oh.. ok then." Ichigo said. "What's with this?" Ichigo said.

"With what?" Ryou asked.

"Your too nice tonight." Ichigo said.

"I don't know..." Ryou said.

"Yeah well, it's weird." Ichigo laughed.

"What do you mean? I can't be nice?" Ryou aruged.

"No no, I never said that!!! It's just really weird." Ichigo laughed.

"How is it weird?" He said.

"I don't know, just is, maybe because your a jerk to me most of the time." Ichigo said.

"Sorry." Ryou said looking down.

"Sorry?" Ichigo said.

Silence took over the walk. And Ichigo stopped. And looked down at the ground.

"What is it?" Ryou said.

"Hmm, oh. Nothing." Ichigo said still looking down.

"Really Strawberry. Is something wrong?" Ryou said concerned.

"My head hurts. And.. I..." Ichigo fainted. Ryou caught her.

"Ichigo!?" He said. "Ichigo hey. Wake up, stop playing, your making me worry! ICHIGO!" Ryou said.

Ryou ran to her house. And knocked on the door, seeing that no one was home he openned the door, and brought her to her room, putting a warmish close to cold towel to her forehead after finding out she had a fever.

Her parents came back two hours later to find Ryou watching Ichigo like a hank. Ichigo's mom smiled slightly. And held Ichigo's dad back.

"Is Ichigo ok?" She finally asked.

"I think, she was over tired and she stayed out in the rain to long before." Ryou sighed.

"Do you want to go home? or do you want to stay." Ichigo's mom said.

"I want to stay but. I need to get home." Ryou finally said.

"Oh." Her mom said. "Thank you for taking care of my daughter, you must really care for her." Her mom then said with a wink.

Ryou laughed. "Yeah well, Who couldn't?" And he realised what he said.

"You know, she used to be a really shy girl yet hyper and although she acted like she wasn't scared, or angry with people she was. But after she met those other girls and you, she became really out going and you could always tell what she was thinking. I guess she just found the right people to push her." Sakura laughed.

"Shy?" Ryou asked.

"You didn't know?" Sakura said.

"No idea." Ryou smirked.

"Yeah well, Im glad she has friends like you." Sakura (Ichigo's mom) smiled.

Ryou chuckled. "Well if the Strawberry wakes up tell her I'll be here early." Ryou added

"How cute, you call her Strawberry!" Sakura screeched.

"She doesn't think so." Ryou laughed.

"Ok well thank good bye." she said.

"Bye ma'am."

Ryou knew she'd get sick. And he looked at Ichigo one last time and left.
