Well that was incredibly long and painful to write. At this point what I'm most scared of is losing all the readers because I have a feeling you will all hate me after reading this. But the good thing is that this story is going to come to an end after a few more chapters. I'm not sure exactly how many though. I'm planning to get it finished by next month the most, but I don't want to promise anything. Thank you for reading as always, I really appreciate the reviews as well (the only proof I have that you guys are enjoying this story). I really hope you like this anyways.

Ichigo twisted and turned in her bed with her arms wrapped around her pillow. She sat up but then lied back down again, an angry groan followed her discomfort. Zakuro and Mint sighed giving each other a few confused glances. She had arrived at Lettuce's house with tears in her eyes and broken voice. It wasn't long before her friends had arrived to check if she was okay.

"Ichigo, I'm sure it's okay," Lettuce tried reassuring her but she wasn't sure about it herself.

"No it's not," Ichigo sat back up one more time, "Nothing's okay."

"I can't believe this na no da," Pudding said with a worried look in her eyes.

"Why don't you just give up on him already?" Mint asked, receiving shocked faces by everyone.

"What? It's not the first time he has hurt her like that! If he continues doing it again and again, Ichigo will be the one who's stupid here. For continuing to make things work out when she knows it's not going to get better," Mint tried to explain.

"Mint has a point," Zakuro added, "But it's Ichigo's decision."

Ichigo looked down to her knees and wiped her tears away, "I've had enough."

And she had. She really had.

"You look pretty," Kisshu whispered.

"Not really what I want to talk to you about."

"What do you want to talk about then?"

Ichigo stared at him angrily, "Seriously? How could you do something like that?!"

"How could you just leave me in that trip and then purposely ignore me as if I don't exist anymore?" She asked again. If Kisshu thought that compliments would sort everything out, then he was wrong. And pretty stupid too for thinking something like that.

"I'm sorry, I needed some time to think. That is, away from you."

"I missed you so much...And I was so worried," Ichigo started.

Kisshu looked at her with an equally hurt expression.

"I'm sorry."

"No phone calls or any messages!"

"I'm sorry."

"Just...Nothing..."

"I'm-"

"Don't you dare say sorry!"

Kisshu sighed.

"Are you going to explain to me what happened?"

There was a long pause.

"Are you going to or not?!"

"How can you not remember anything that had happened that night?" Kisshu asked frustrated, "Do you not remember anything? Not a single thing?"

"I remember some things but..."

"TRY TO REMEMBER!"

Ichigo jumped at his sudden scream. Shocked at his change of expression.

"Just try to..."

And she did. The thing that was missing from her mind came flooding back. And it was too much to take in. She remembered overhearing his conversation with Miyuki but she was pretty drunk at the time so she must have forgotten about that too. And she remembered. Slightly blurred memories that were hidden behind and covered with betrayal and confusion. But it happened. It wasn't a dream.

"I remember," Ichigo told him quietly.

Kisshu's eyes widened and he stared at her. It seemed that their whole conversation involved them communication with each other through a bunch of weird looks and awkward silences most of the time. Their words had little meaning left in them. Ichigo's tears also seemed meaningless. Nothing expressed their thoughts as well as it did with silence. But answers were needed, and so were explanations. That is, in the form of words.

"You do?"

"I do..."

"You know what I think?" Zakuro said, crossing her arms, "Knowing Miyuki, this is probably one of her plans to get Kisshu away from Ichigo."

"But she would pretend to be pregnant? How far is she going to go?"

"It's a possibility. Kisshu can be stupid but he wouldn't be this reckless."

"Really? But I don't think so," Ichigo said shaking her head.

"Ichigo, I've known Miyuki for as long as I've known Kisshu and she has done things similar to this before."

"Really?" Lettuce asked.

"All she has to do is bribe a few doctors and get them to show 'proof' of pregnancy. She will try to get pity from Kisshu and when the time comes to give birth she will probably pretend to have a miscarriage or something. That way, the baby never comes to existence."

"That's crazy na no da...And horrible."

"All we need to do is find out if she's really pregnant and if she isn't, just show that proof to Kisshu and it will all be solved."

"And how do we do that na no da?" Pudding asked.

"Leave that to me," Mint winked.

"Guys...I..." Ichigo gulped and took a deep breath before continuing her sentence, "You don't need to do this."

"What are you talking about?" Lettuce asked.

"If you're going to run to Lettuce's house and start crying dramatically, the least you can do is let us try to help you, idiot," Mint mumbled, annoyed.

"But that's not the end of the story!" Ichigo exclaimed.

"There's more?" Everyone asked in unison.

"Ugh!" Ichigo covered the blankets over her face in embarrassment.

"Do you really remember everything?"

"Yeah, I do."

"Then let us break up," he whispered.

Ichigo's eyes widened, "What?"

Kisshu gave a smug smile but then looked away.

"What do you mean? You don't really mean..." Ichigo's heart fired up, the anger inside was not controllable anymore.

"You jerk! You're such a..."

Ichigo couldn't think of what to say. She had lost words to describe him.

"Are you done?"

"You're unbelievable! I can't believe you would do something like that! I forgave you after you've been so mean to me and now you want to break up?!"

"Really? So if I was that mean to you why didn't you just leave me alone?!" Kisshu screamed. This time it was him who was furious.

"You're the one who managed to get someone else pregnant and now this is all my fault?"

"Hang on, you didn't think this was about Miyuki did you?"

This time both Kisshu and Ichigo stared at each other with confusion. None of them knew what they were talking about anymore. Of course she was talking about Miyuki! Who else would she be talking about? Did he impegrante other women too? How many people did he sleep with? Kisshu stared at her for a few more seconds and burst into laughter. Ichigo only gave him a confused look. Was this some sort of joke?

"I see you don't remember everything then," Kisshu sighed.

"I don't get what's happening..."

"It's okay, kitten. I'll remind you," Kisshu took his phone out, swiped and clicked a few buttons before handing it to her. His voice was terrifyingly cold.

Ichigo gasped in astonishment. She couldn't believe her eyes.

"What's wrong, Ichigo?"

"I can't believe this!" Lettuce gasped.

"But you have to believe me, I don't remember doing anything!"

"That must be Miyuki's plan too. She knows that Kisshu wouldn't break up with you easily so she had to do something else to try and get him off of you."

The photos that Kisshu had shown her was what shocked Ichigo the most. There were pictures of her kissing someone else. Her face and her hair were clearly visible but not the man she had her arms wrapped around. All that must have happened that night but she was drunk. She didn't mean to do anything like that...

Kisshu snatched the phone away from Ichigo the moment her expression changed from confusion to realisation.

"If you remember everything now, then tell me," Kisshu demanded, "What do you want me to do?"

Ichigo didn't say a word.

"I don't know who's worse Ichigo, me or you," Kisshu sighed, "I'm tired to getting angry all the time, I'm tired of shouting at you."

"You know that I was drunk that night," Ichigo cried, "You know that someone had mixed it in my drink and whoever's doing this is just trying to break us apart!"

"I was drunk too and made the biggest mistake of my life," Kisshu snarled, "I'm stupid and always make stupid mistakes, but how can you be so stupid?"

Again, Ichigo didn't say a word.

"How can you let someone take advantage of you like that? Why weren't you more careful?!"

"I can't take this anymore," Ichigo turned around and tried to keep the tears from falling.

"I'm really confused, Kisshu..." She sobbed, "I don't get what to do."

"Do you remember when I promised you that night?" He asked, "When I told you that I wasn't going to leave you for anyone?"

Ichigo nodded.

"I don't think I can keep my promise, Ichigo," He said, forcing the words from his mouth.

Ichigo bit her lower lip and squeezed her eys shut, trying to keep it in for just a little longer. Just a little longer.

"Fine then let me ask you something," Ichigo wiped her tears away once again, "Do you think I cheated on you? Do you think everything that you've seen, do you think I did it on purpose?"

"Pictures don't lie, Ichigo."

"Answer me!" Ichigo shouted, "Do you trust me?"

"No," Kisshu finally replied after a long silence.

Ichigo licked her lips to stop the from getting dry. She took a deep breath and nodded.

"Okay," she whispered, "Okay."

She repeated, trying to take in what he just said. She knew that Kisshu had no idea how painful that single word was. She was so excited to finally see him, after receiving her message. Now, she couldn't believe that the only reason he wanted to see her was to break up with her. All those times she spent with him. Did it not mean anything to him? Did he spent that whole time trying to muster enough courage just to say that? Just to say that deep down, he didn't trust her?

"Listen to me, Kisshu," Ichigo told him, "If you break up with me now, just remember one thing."

Ichigo took a short pause before continuing, trying to pick out words and the perfect explanation in her head.

"If we break up, you will never see me again, do you understand me? If you end it here, I'm leaving away from your life and it will be as if we have never met. It will be as if I have never known you."

"I will forget everything that we did together, I will wipe away all my love that I had for you and you will never come back to your life again," she warned him, "So you choose, do you want to hang in there and fight with me or do you want to end it all here?"

"I'm glad I had met you, Ichigo," he smiled.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"You were right. You were always right. We are very different people, maybe that's why the world doesn't want us to be together."

"You are such an idiot! You're saying all the wrong things!"

"What did you want me to say?"

"I wanted you to say that you still loved me! That you cared, but you just...You're just running away..."

"Never try to get close to me again, never come back to my life again!" She screamed.

Of course, that was not what Kisshu really wanted to say. What he really wanted to say was the opposite of everything he said. But those words remained unsaid. Even after she slapped him across the face. Even after she ran away and left him, equally hurting. Equally crying. Even after she left from his life forever. Even after, he lost her forever. Even after he knew his life would never be the same without her again.
