Ichigo had been planning with Masaya for a little while now about their wedding. Ichigo wanted it to be PERFECT, but Masaya didn't seem to have much of an opinion. Mint was really excited for Ichigo,(and maybe even a little jealous... because she still has a little crush on him) so it was usually Mint and Ichigo planning everything out. Ichigo really didn't like it when Mint and pudding would say how cute Masaya was, and how lucky she was to be with him. It just made her feel a little uncomfortable. She was very protective of Masaya and she knew how much Mint liked him.
"Umm... Mint?" Ichigo said, one day while they were looking at pictures of beautiful wedding dresses. Mint turned her head towards Ichigo.
"Yes? What is it Ichigo?" Mint asked. "Umm, I was just wondering... uhh... do you like... Ma..." Ichigo couldn't finish. She knew the answer, but for some reason, she couldn't ask. She just couldn't put all that pressure on her friend. She knew that Mint would say no, just because they were engaged and to be married in four months. Also, because it would really hurt Ichigo's feelings, and they were best friends. Mint turned her head away, since she felt like she would cry. She hated having to lie to Ichigo about this, but there was absoluetly no way in the world that she could tell her. Over the next few weeks, Ichigo had seen Mint with Masaya and it was starting to bug her. She didn't know what was going on, and she wanted to know right away. She had also noticed that some evenings Masaya had said he had to go back to work, or hang out with friends. Ichigo truly did not believe that at all. One day it was really bugging her, so she decided to tell Lettuce. Lettuce can be very helpful with things like this. "Lettuce," Ichigo said, "Umm I have something I need to talk to you about..." Lettuce gave some advice. She told Ichigo not to worry and that everything would be okay. That the wedding is probably stressful and may seem a little scary, to Masaya. She said that Masaya is probably trying to keep away from Ichigo a bit because he is scared that she will pressure him about wedding plans, and is using Mint as some kind of "subsitute Ichigo" for awhile.
"That makes completely no sense whatsoever!" Ichigo exclaimed. Her face turned read and a tear rolled down her eye.
"Well then, what do you suppose it is, Ichigo?" Lettuce asked. Just after she had made that remark, Ichigo ran away crying. Her face was red and hot. Tears were spurting out frim her eyes like crazy. She couldn't handle this! How could Masaya do this to her? How could Mint let him!
The next night, when Masaya was about to go out again, Ichigo stopped him. He made a panicked look on his face as if to say, "Omigosh! She's figured me out!" Ichigo had an upset look on her face as she approached Masaya.
"...And where exactly do you think you're going?" She asked firmly and angrily. Well, actually it was more like an order to tell her then a question, which surprised Masaya. He looked Ichigo in the eyes and said, "None of your buisness!" At that exact moment, Masaya turned aroubd and headed angrily out the door. "Omigosh! No!" Ichigo cried, "No! God no! It can't be!" That was when reality hit.
"Yes? What is it Ichigo?" Mint asked. "Umm, I was just wondering... uhh... do you like... Ma..." Ichigo couldn't finish. She knew the answer, but for some reason, she couldn't ask.
