Ichigo was leaving the next day for her Aunts place she woke up and wiped her tears away from her face. She changed into her cloths that she picked out and grabbed her suitcase and went down stairs. She saw her parents standing there smiling wishing her well on her travel and telling her also not to get a tattoo either. Ichigo knew Mint was going to take her to the airport. She wanted to. So she and the other girls could say good bye to her with out Ichigo's parents around. She walked outside and saw Mint's limo waiting outside for her. She walked up to it and the driver took her bag and put it into the trunk and closed the door behind her after she got in. And got into the limo and drove off to the airport.

Once they got to the airport the driver opened her door and grabbed her bag and handed it to her and smiled as she walked into the port. Ichigo walked to were she was to catch her plane and saw Mint, Lettuce, Pudding, Rino, and Ryou. She smiled as she smiled at them all. "Were going to miss you Ichigo please come back to us." Ichigo had to smile at Pudding's words. "I swear I will come back Pudding. It's only for the summer really. And I asked Blue knight to watch your guy back's if you guys are attacked while I'm gone. So don't worry so much." Pudding hugged her first, then Lettuce, then Rino, and last but not least Mint. Ichigo walked up to Ryou and spoke softly, "Bye Ryou." She turned to walk away but Ryou's words stopped her. "Why am I a vanilla you baka Strawberry?"

Ichigo turned around and gave him lop sided smile. "Because Ryou you remind me of a vanilla bean. Dressed in black like you are with blond hair. And well you smell like vanilla. It's nice." She turned and walked to her plane and got on abroad it and took off. Ryou watched the plane fly away and let the tears fall that he been keeping in check until then. The girls asked him what was wrong and he shook his head and wiped his tears away and turned and headed out of the airport. The girls knew that Ichigo is in love with Ryou. And Ryou is in love with Ichigo. They hopped that there team leader would be back soon to fight for his Vanilla soul.
