Chap 3 Reunion

"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.

She took in the blonde hair and electric blue eyes in, and a huge smile showed up on her face.

"Ryou! It's so...how come....why are u..." Ichigo rambled.

"Okay, Okay." Ryou laughed. "You're blabbering you know that?"

Ichigo could only smile

"Okay. I know you're excited to see me but is a load of rambles all I get?" he pouted

Ichigo laughed and gave him a big hug. Ryou returned the hug.

After the two broke apart, Ichigo started to talk.

"Why are you here?" Ichigo asked "aren't you meant to be in America with your research?"

Ryou has moved to America last year to continue with his research.

Since the aliens didn't show up anymore, the team have sort of just separated. Each doing different things.

"I came back yesterday and I decided that I like Japan better and I can still do the research here." "Besides, I remembered that I need to come today. To visit him." Ryou said.

Ichigo does not need to be told who "him" is. She kows that Ryou is talking about Masaya. Her smile faltered.

She stepped aside to let Ryou put down his flowers.

They were both silent for a long time.

"At least I know that he is safe now." Ichigo said softly.

Ryou sighed.

"So. How are you. Really." He asked.

"Me? I...I'm better I guess. Better than before. It was shocking. But I've got to accept the fact that Masaya does not exist anymore somehow." Ichigo confessed.

They both walked off towards the garden outside the cemetery.

"So, have you, like.. meeting....I mean..." Ryou blabbered.

"You mean have I started to date again?" said Ichigo, a sad smile on her face.

Ryou nodded.

"..No." Ichigo answered "I just couldn't take it that quickly. I need time. I've always thought I should move on. But every time a guy ask me, his face just kept on changing into Masaya's and I just couldn't...i.. couldn't.." Ichigo stopped. She can't continue anymore. Tears threatened to spill out any minute.

"Shhh..., you'll be okay. I promise." Ryou comforted her.

Ryou hugged her as she continue to sob, wet tears flowed against his shirt.

"Cough cough.."

Ryou and Ichigo broke apart, Ichigo wiped at her tears.

They both stare back at 5 very familiar figures.

"I hope we are not interrupting anything.." a mature Purin said. More mature than before yes, but Purin, nevertheless.

"Purin!, Mint! Letuuce! Zakuro.. and Masha!!! How did all of you get here?" said a very surprised Ichigo as she went and give all her friends a big and suffocating hug.

"Need oxygen. Can't breath. Let go." Was Mint's reply.

Ichigo laughed, and so did everyone else.

"I was at England in a boarding school for a year." Mint said.

"I decided to move to Korea and start again since all that.... Things." Lettuce replied.

"I went back to China to see my dad and joined a circus!" Purin exclaimed.

"Oh. I was all over the place. Commercials, Movies, Modeling. Yeah. All over the place." Shrugged Zakuro.

"We somehow just all gathered here today, because of u know. What happened 1 year ago. We feel like it is part of our fault that we didn't get there fast enough. If we had, then, Masaya might not be...might not be..." Mint could not bring herself to say the last word. Nor could anyone else.

"That's okay. You can say it Mint. I got over it. Not completely, but I'm trying. What good is it if I just try and pretend that it's not true? I should stop running from myself, running form reality." Ichigo sighed out.

"So! When are you leaving?" asked Ichigo, changing the subject.

"We just barely got here and you are asking us when we are leaving? Do you hate us that much?" said Lettuce jokingly.

"Nonono. I just want to know so I can throw some wild party. Haven't had that in a long time." Smiled Ichigo.

"Well, lets just say that Mint is on her Holiday, Pudding and Lettuce is staying for at least a month and I am doing a movie here!" said Zakuro.

Ichigo squealed.

"You? Ryou? When are you leaving?" asked a very happy Ichigo.

"Me? Oh I am staying here. Permanently." Laughed Ryou.

"Really?" Squealed Ichigo but unfortunately for her, she tripped over a log and fell straight into Ryou's arms.

Ryou laughed. "Ichigo Momomiya, I know you are excited to hear this but you don't have to throw yourself at me!"

Ichigo playfully swat at Ryou and chased him around the garden.
