A/N-Now this is where one of the things that may get me flamed comes in! Flames are welcome, along with all other reviews.
Disclaimer: I own Tokyo Mew Mew? Really? How interesting, I didn't know that! Shouldn't I have made some money off it?

"Masaya, I'm tired of being just 'the other girl.' The girl on the side. Besides, I'm Ichigo's friend, and I don't want to hurt her by hiding this. Anyway, she's dating Ryou now, remember? I don't want you to get hurt when he finds out your sneaking around with Ichigo behind his back. If you break up with her, you'll be fine, and we won't have to hide this anymore."
Masaya nodded thoughtfully, if sadly. "I know, I know—but I don't think Ryou's so good for her. He's blunt and tactless. Every time I want to tell her we have to break it off, I can't—she just seems so… desolate after she's been with him. I think…" Masaya looked like he couldn't believe he was saying this, but after a pause he continued. "I think even Kish would be better for her. I'm her only comfort… I'm just having trouble thinking about breaking it off and breaking her heart." Masaya knew he was in the wrong on this argument, so he gave up and listened to what she had to say again.
"So, you're sneaking around with Ichigo, even knowing that literally, Ryou will kill you if he finds out. While you do that, here I am, having to sneak around with you to keep from hurting Ichigo, when you shouldn't be with her in the first place. You can end this, just by breaking off your relationship with Ichigo. And Masaya—" the girl looked like she was about to cry; she took a minute to get under control before she continued. "And Masaya, you will leave her, because I can't be 'the other chick' for much longer, and I will break up with you if you don't agree to be faithful to me!"
Masaya felt his heart seem to crack. Ichigo was very pretty, it was true, but he didn't love her. He couldn't—he couldn't—"I love you too much for you to leave," Masaya told the girl standing before him. "I love you the way I used to love Ichigo. You're right. I'd do anything to keep you, even leave my former love."
Masaya drew Mint's face to his for a long kiss.
A/N-Love it? Hate it? Kill-the-authoress? She wants to know! By the way for future reference, pairings are subject to change.
