Disclaimer: I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew. Ikumi does. If I did, well, it won't be for little kids. He he he he! XD

Chapter 10: The Move

Ichigo awoke the next morning and played the nights events in her head. She was excited that she was going to move in with Ryou. She would be closer to him, and she wouldn't have to call him, unless he wasn't home and she needed him. Ichigo got up and opened the curtains to her room and let the beautiful summer sunlight fill her room. She looked around and couldn't believe that in a few days, she would leave her old room behind.

Mint and the girls said they would come over and help her pack, so she would be all set on Saturday to move. Ichigo walked to closet and picked out a blue tank top and a pair of blue jean shorts. She then brushed her hair and teeth and headed down to breakfast.

"Good morning, Mom and Dad," Ichigo said cheerfully.

"Ichigo, I think I should explain to you why we are letting you move in with Ryou," Mr. Momomiya said. "Even though I don't want to accept the fact that you are growing up, I can accept the fact that you and Ryou are in love. I don't want to stand in the way of your happiness. I want you to be happy, even if it means you living with that boy."

"Thank you, Dad," Ichigo said, hugging her dad and sitting down for breakfast. Ichigo smiled at her mom as she placed a plate in front of her. As Ichigo ate, she realized that this time next week, she would be eating breakfast with Ryou. A blush crept over her face as she thought about it. She was going to be eating breakfast with Ryou. After breakfast was finished and Mr. Momomiya had left, Ichigo helped her mom clean up. As she was helping the phone rang and Ichigo picked it up.

"Hello?" she said into the phone. "Oh, hey, Ryou! What's up?" After a few minutes she mumbled "I understand" and hung up.

"What's wrong Ichigo?" Mrs. Momomiya asked.

"Something came up and Ryou wants me to move in as soon as possible. He has to go to America this weekend, and he wants me to go with him, so he wants me to get settled before we go," Ichigo said.

"That sounds like fun," Mrs. Momomiya said as the doorbell rang. Ichigo's mom answered the door, and a few minutes later, Mint, Pudding, Lettuce and Zakuro came into the kitchen.

"Ready to get packed?" Pudding asked, throwing her arms in the air.

"Yeah, but we need to get it done today," Ichigo said.

"We know, Ryou called us on our way over here. We also brought a bunch of boxes," Mint said. Ichigo and the girls went out to Mints car and grabbed a bunch of boxes. They packed until lunch time, when Mrs. Momomiya called them to lunch. When they went downstairs, the girls were surprised to see Ryou and Keiichiro.

"What are you two doing here?" Ichigo asked.

"Well, hello to you, too, sweetheart," Ryou answered.

"We came to help you pack and move your stuff out. The earliest you can move in is tonight, the latest tonight," Keiichiro said. "We would like you to move in tonight, though."

"You will be staying in a room down the hall from me. Unless you want to share a bed with me," Ryou said.

"Ryou-san! How can you say something like that in front of Mrs. Momomiya?" Lettuce asked, shocked.

"It's okay with me. Just as long as my husband doesn't know, then it is ok," Mrs. Momomiya said.

"Thanks, Mom," Ichigo said. "I think I will share a room with Ryou," Ichigo added, her face red.

"I liked the sound of that," Ryou said, winking, which made Ichigo's face go a shade darker. After they were down, they went up to Ichigo's room. The girls packed, while Ryou and Keiichiro carried stuff down to the truck they rented. By the time they were done, it was dinner time and Mr. Momomiya was due home. He arrived shortly before dinner to find four girls and two boys already seated at the table, with Ichigo and Mrs. Momomiya serving dinner.

"What the hell is going on here?" Mr. Momomiya asked. "Why is he here?" he added, pointing at Ryou.

"Ichigo has to move out a little sooner than we expected. She is leaving after dinner. So her friends came over and helped her pack and move out," Mrs. Momomiya explained.

"So soon? I was hoping for a little more time with my little girl, but I guess I can't have everything," Mr. Momomiya said, sitting down and eating. As they ate and talked, Ichigo felt a bit sad. This was her last dinner at her house. She knew there would be other dinners with her family, but this was a bit different. Dinner was over all too soon. After she helped clean up, she said goodbye to her mom and dad, then her friends. Then she climbed into the car with Ryou and they were off to Ryou's house. He pulled into the driveway and got out. He opened the door for Ichigo and helped her out.

"Welcome home, Ichigo," Ryou said, smiling. Ichigo blushed and smiled back. She felt like she was home.

A/N: So I tried to keep this chapter going, but I have a headache. I think it is sinus related, and I am terrified of taking a pill. They are huge. I know, I know. I am 21 and I shouldn't be afraid to take a pill, but I am. I am also planning on putting another lemon in the next few chapters. I don't know if it will be the next chapter or not, I will have to see how things turn out. So, for an update on me and my guy… So, after I told Ryan that I loved him, he told me he liked me a lot, but he wasn't in love with me, yet. YET! I still have time! Also, I was kicked out of college because my grades sucked. I have been depressed and I have trouble concentrating on things when I am depressed. I am sad that I was kicked out, but I guess I have time to think through things and clear my head. I also have to get a job. So when I get a job, I will have less time to write. Also, wish me a happy late birthday. My birthday was Aug. 29th. I turned 21. I am 21! I can finally drink legally, which I am known to drink while I was under-aged, and get half drunk, then cuss out the person who was looking out for me…. He he, yeah.

Ichigo: Smurf2005 would like us to tell you to R&R!

Pudding: It will make her happy!

Mint: She doesn't want any flames.

Lettuce: But constructive critism is welcome!

Zakuro: ……

Ryou: Another lemon? Yay! I get to sleep with Ichigo again!

Kish: Awww, I wanted to sleep with her.

Smurf: I am sorry for the long authors note; I got a bit carried away. ;; Anyways, like the Mew Mew Crew said, R&R, but no flames, I will take constructive critism, though.
