Chap 2. Past

Ichigo sighed. She brushed her rose coloured hair and took a good long look before going downstairs.

Masaya has being dead for exactly a year now. And today, Ichigo is going to visit his grave.

Mr and Mrs Momomiya was quite understanding when they heard that Masaya was dead.

Today, they were all really silent during breakfast.

"I'm going to visit Masaya now mum.." Ichigo mumbled.

"Okay dear. Need us to take you there?" her mum asked.

"No thank you. I think I'll walk. I can think about things.." Ichigo choked out.

Mrs Momomiya nodded, a strange look on her face.

She only gave Ichigo a kiss before she went off.

Ichigo was too stressed out to notice how peculiar her mum is.

Ichigo is walking along Kitachi avenue.

She doesn't really know where she is going, her mind was too occupied, the scene of Masaya's death replaying in her mind.

Her legs carried her across the roads. She has crossed that road too many times with Masaya. That thought brought back her a sob.

She passed the park. The park where she and Masaya would meet at after school. That brought more tears.

A slight breeze blew past Ichigo and she shivered, realizing that she is only wearing a purple off shoulder top and a miniskirt. In the middle of Autumn.

She had grown taller this year, with a height of 168cm, and had curves in all right places. She was still really thin though, and the fact that she didn't eat for a month after Masaya's death didn't help either.

Ichigo felt some sort of presence behind her. The kind she get when she is being followed.

She turned around, but sees no one.

She shrugs, thinking it might being a cat or something.

Her thoughts wandered off again, this time about what happened after Masaya was hit.

FLASHBACK

"Noooooo" Ichigo cried out into the silent darkness.

She doesn't know how long she knelt there, beside Masaya's dead form.

All she know is that Masaya is dead.

Dead because of her.

Dead to save her.

Dead for her.

The sinking feeling in her stomach and the aching in her heart started to grew.

In the back of her mind, she thought she heard footsteps, lots of them, running along towards her.

But she was too sad to care.

Ryou was the first to reach her.

Ichigo took one look at him and feinted.

In his arms.

When she wake up again, she stared right at a pair of great, concerned blue eyes.

She squirmed, trying to make out who he is.

She realized who the blue eye belongs too as soon as she saw the blonde hair.

"Shirogane! Get off me!" Ichigo yelled

"Okay, okay, I was only checking if you are okay, No need to bite of head off.." Ryou said, putting his hand up signaling defeat.

"What the fuck am I doin.....?" her voice trailed off as she remembered the event which happened before.

"Masaya is...d..dead..." she said in a coarse whisper.

Tears flowed uncontrollably down her cheek, leaving two wet trails.

Ryou wiped her tears from her eyes with his thumb.

"Its okay. I'm here now. And I always will be.." he murmured as he gazed into Ichigo's chocolate brown eyes.

END OF FLASHBACK

Ichigo stopped in her path. While she was lost in thoughts, her two feet has brought her to the cemetery where Masaya was buried.

She took a deep breath and entered.

The gate creaked as it opened and Ichigo stepped in. It seems so alone, so gloomy, this place.

She walked silently towards a grave.

A grave with the sculpture of a sword on it. It is meant to remember Aoyama's days as Blue Knight.

Ichigo can't help but think that if Blue Knight was never born, then Masaya would have lived. He wouldn't have to die.

She sighed. She put her flower gently on the ground and cleaned the fogged up picture of Masaya.

His content smile brought more tears into Ichigo's eyes.

She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear the twigs crackled behind her.

"Hello Ichigo, thought I would see you here" a voice said.

Ichigo turned around quickly, not so sure about who the voice belongs to.

She gasped when she saw the identity of the person.

TBC
