Like Romeo and Juliet: Chapter 10

"Ichigooo"

The sleepy redhead opened her right eye lazily, looking at the person who said her name: Lettuce.

"Oh Lettuce, what's wrong?" she asked, opening her other eye, while Lettuce smiled upon the sleepy girl.

"Oh, sorry Ichigo but you've been sleeping for so long and everyone's eating already. I just finished and decided to wake you up," she answered. Ichigo nodded understanding what Lettuce just said, stood up straight up and stretch her arms, taking a deep breath, and then smiled.

'I blame those cat genes, but still I did slept well' she thought

"Okay, I'm awake. Excuse me while I shower than I'll go and eat," Ichigo said smiling. Lettuce nodded; stood up, walk towards the door and left. Ichigo sighed.

"Gawd, what's wrong with me?" she muttered, her right hand massaging her temples. She got out of bed and walk towards the bathroom door, when she was done; she walked out of the door with a towel on her head while wearing a white dress that reached above her ankles with short sleeves. She looked herself in the mirror removing the towel on her head, and brushed her maroon-red hair, when she was done she walk towards the door and open it. Ichigo looked both sides of the corridor before taking a step and stroll to the dining room. Pudding was still eating talking alongside Lettuce and Zakuro.

'Thank goodness, Pudding's still eating; I might have made a fool of myself.' The redhead thought.

Ichigo walked towards an empty seat, in front of her was rice balls, some sushi, a piece of turkey and a strawberry cheesecake. Ichigo smiled, took the knife and fork and dig in, while her other companions looked at her.

"What's wrong na no da?" asked a confused Pudding. Her other companions looked at her, including Ichigo who cock her head to the right. Zakuro looked at Ichigo with a concern face.

"Ichigo, your fiancé, Aoyama-san has called, he wanted to speak with you but Mint told him that you were busy. He said he might pick you up if you don't come soon," Zakuro said. Ichigo widened her eyes as Zakuro spoke.

'Gawd, he's so protective of me; he should learn to back off sometimes'

Ichigo sighed.

"What's wrong Ichigo onee-chan? I thought you love Aoyama onii-san, he's your fiancé after all na no da," said Pudding still confused. Ichigo sighed again while Lettuce and Zakuro looked at her with concern looks.

"Pudding, Ichigo doesn't really um have any interest in Aoyama-san, they're engaged because um they're going to unite their kingdoms," Lettuce stuttered while Zakuro nodded, Pudding widened her eyes and look at Ichigo who's head was bent in disgrace.

"B-but Ichigo onee-chan what's wrong with Aoyama onii-chan? He's nice and strong na no da!" asked Pudding while Lettuce and Zakuro looked at her.

"There's that thought but, Aoyama-kun is over protective of me, it's like he thinks I can't do anything without him, he's also boring, not really fun to be around with," Ichigo answered, her head still bent down not really want to look at anyone right now. There was silence after that.

"I wonder what Mint sees in him though" muttered Zakuro, trying to keep her voice low but Lettuce and Ichigo heard.

"What do you mean "sees in him" Zakuro-san?" asked Lettuce. Zakuro took a deep breath.

"You see Ichigo, Mint has been a bit jealous of you since she takes a little interest in your… fiancé which is why she has been a little mean to you sometimes," Zakuro explained, while Ichigo a smirk spread across her face.

'So… Mint likes Aoyama-kun? Well that's interesting' she thought.

-So that's why Mint was quite shock about him when Ichigo told us the news, she didn't quite like it" Ichigo snapped back to reality when she heard her name, she looked back at Zakuro who just finished off her sentence.

"I'm sorry Zakuro but can you repeat what you just said?" asked Ichigo but Zakuro shook her head.

"I'm sorry Ichigo but you should have listen the first time, and besides it's better if you don't know about it; it won't do you good anyway," said Zakuro before standing up, then nodding at both of them. Ichigo sighed.

'Great' she thought.

"Oh and by the way, sorry but we can't give you a ride home; sorry," said Zakuro before leaving the room.

Ichigo then looked at Lettuce and Pudding who were still in the room. There was a bit silence after that but the two girls (Lettuce and Pudding) had to go and pack their belongings. Ichigo soon left the dining room to also pack her stuff, when she was soon done she thanked Zakuro.

'Where's Mint by the way…' she thought.

Ichigo stepped out of the door way and looked at the view, sighing again.

'This is will be hard' she thought.

The redhead was about to take a step when she heard something rustle. Ichigo looked around her surroundings; nothing. Ichigo shrugged remembering last time, again she was about to take a step when she heard something rustle again, Ichigo scanned around her surroundings, making sure; nothing.

'This is getting ridiculous' she thought.

Ichigo was about to take the step, when she heard something rustle again but louder, the cat girl got wary but tried to shrug it off; it must be some animal or something but her cat ears popped out obviously from fright. Soon than the air rippled around her, the cat girl holds her dress in case and looked up; she saw exactly who it was.

"Kish?"
