Chapter1: The Decision
"Mint, get your snooty behind out here and help me!", Ichigo barked out orders while Ryou watched from the kitchen doorway.
He sighed, and taking one more look at the crimson-haired girl, walked back into the kitchen. He opened the utensil drawer and pulled out a thin, sharp knife. Beautiful, but deadly. He stared at it, flashing in the light.
"Ryou, what are you doing?"
Ryou spun around to find Lettuce standing behind him. He paled,"Oh! Uh..er..Nothing!", he said, hands behind his back. He quietly set the knife back down in the drawer and slid it shut.
Lettuce looked at him worriedly,"Ryou, what's wrong...? You look troubled."
"I-I'm fine!", Ryou said. Lie.
"Well...", Lettuce smiled,"If something is bothering you, like you told me, you can be strong if you belive it."
Ryou smiled,"Thanks."
Lettuce smiled again and walked out of the kitchen. Ryou turned around and opened the drawer again. He pulled out the blade, gripping it tightly, as if it would slip away. He slid it into his pocket and walked upstairs to his room.
He shut the door and sat on his bed. He pulled out the knife. He had come to a conclusion:
She could never be his...
"Guys, I'm going to see Ryou. When he went upstairs, he looked really sad about something.", Ichigo set down the pitcher she was carrying. She waled upstairs and knocked on Ryou's door.
No answer.
She knocked again, to no avail. She tried the doorknob and found it unlocked. Ichigo pushed the door open. Her eyes widened and tears slowly trickled down her cheeks. She dropped to her knees, her hands covering her mouth.
"Nooo...Ryou..."
Mint huffed,"What could be taking so long?",she set down her teacup.
Lettuce smiled,"I'm sure she's got-", she was cut off by a scream. The four girls stopped what they were doing.
"Ichigo!"
They ran upstairs to Ryou's room and found Ichigo bent over Ryou's body, crying. Blood was all over the floor, on the sheets, andon Ichigo's hands. Laying on the floor was the knife.
Mint saw it and turned away,"Oh, God...", she moaned.
Ichigo looked up, her tear-stained face pleading,"Guys! Help me! We've got to get him to the hospital! Now!"
MewRaven:o.o Wonder what he did...Anyway, Pleasepleaseplease review! And read the next chapter!
