Chapter 1. Sweet Masaya

"Wow, its already been 2 years and those two love birds are still googly eyed for each other!" Mint said to Zakuro with a look of shock on her face, "Even you and Kyle didnt last that long Zakuro." Mint said.

Zakuro turned bright red and jammed a pillow into Mints face, " This isnt about me, its about Ichigo you idiot!!Anyways, whats the big deal if the two love birds are still, as you say, 'googly eye' for each other?" Zakuro asked.

"Well, im not exactly sure if this is right but i was walking past Ryou's room the other day, and it seems like he's planning, key word: planning, to ask Ichigo out."all oft he Mew Mews stopped working and started listening, no one said a word the same exact thought ran around in their minds, Ryou and Ichigo? "But before you guys jump into any conclusions,remember i have NO idea if its true or not. So you all better not tell Ichig----"

"Tell me what?" Ichigo said with a confused look on her face.

"Eh-heh.. nothing! Nothing at all! we were just playing a game of um.. dont work and let Ichigo do it because.. uh .. she's late!" Mint said, good thing it was what she normally does with Ichigo. Yell at her for being late then make her do all the work while she breaks forsome tea.

"You know what Mint?" Ichigo asked.

"What?" Mint replyed.

"YOU ARE SO MEAN!!" Ichigo yelled.

'PHEW! I thought she was gonna say soemthing else like i was really mean---- HEY!!' "I AM SO NOT ----" Mint got inturuppted by a loud "ahem ahem" by Ryou.

"Ichigo, can i speak to you for a minute, in my office?" Ryou asked Ichigo.

All the Mew Mews stood in silence, was that little rumor true? Was Ryou really going to ask Ichigo out even though Ichigo was obviously still in love with Masaya?

"Sure." Ichigo said as she followed Ryou into his office.

Once the door was closed all the Mew Mews ran to the door and tried to listen as hard as they could.

- Ryou and Ichigo's Conversation -
Ryou: "So.. Hows it been?"
Ichigo: "Um, good.. i guess? Well, what did you need to talk to me about?"
Ryou: "Well i was thinking how hard it must be on you for Masaya to be out of town for the next three days, you never know if theres another woman so i feel your pain..."
Ichigo: "NO! Masaya would never cheat on me! GOOD BYE!"
- End Conversation -

"HURRY! RUN! ICHIGO'S COMING!" Mint yelled at the others.

Everyone scattered around the cafe trying to act normal, but the Mew Mews couldnt help it. No one coudl stop worrying about Ichigo and Masaya, could what Ryou said might be true? Or was it one of those evil little plots to have Ichigo fall for him? What was going on?!

"Um.. guys?" Ichigo asked quietly.

"Yeah?" The Mew Mews replyed.

"Im going to take a little walk if its alright with you guys ok?" Ichigo asked.

"Sure." The Mew Mews said.

So Ichigo left.
