Chpt.3

The next day I woke up at noon with a huge headache so I walked into the living room "Hey Ichigo, have a bad headache?" Ryou asked me when I walked into the living room and I saw that he was eating a burger from Monster Burger

"Yeah, have anything I can take?" I asked as Ryou held out some aspirin

"Thanks...what happened to Masaya last night?" I asked Ryou as I took a seat next to him on the couch

"Oh...uh...he left after I told him that I would take care of you," Ryou said seeming like he was hiding something but I was too much in pain to notice

"Oh okay, I'm going home to sleep," I said getting up and gathering the clothes that I wore to school yesterday then I walked out waving goodbye to Ryou over my shoulder.

"Hey Ichigo how're you feeling?" Masaya asked me when I walked up the stairs to unlock my apartment door

"Not too well, I have a major headache so I'm going to sleep right now," I said placing my apartment key in the keyhole

"Well I hope you get better...listen I need to study for a test that I'm having next week and Kyle needs the apartment for the night, so do you think I could come over to your place and study with you?" Masaya asked me rubbing the back of his head a little nervously, so I quickly brightened up and made a smile

"Sure, you could come around 7:00pm, and if I'm sleeping here's a spare key," I said handing him a silver key identical to mines

"Okay, thanks, you don't know how much I need this," Masaya said grabbing the key with a smile then he walked down the stairs, so I entered my apartment wanting to shower and change out of my uniform.

When I woke up I headed to work since I had to tell Ryou that I'm taking time off to be with Masaya in an hour.

"Hey Ichigo, feeling better?" Ryou asked me when I walked into the bar so I nodded my head and walked towards the bar to talk to him

"Can I have the night off? Masaya is going to study with me to go over a test that we're having next week," I said leaning my arms on the counter

"And let me guess you think this is a date?" Ryou asked as I nodded

"Fine I guess you could have the night off," Ryou said heading into the kitchen to get some more supplies so I walked in front of the mirror that we have on the bar counter and decided to fix myself up.

"Hey, Ichigo, there's something that you need to know," Ryou said to me when he came back from the kitchen and placed some supplies on top of the counter

"Can't this wait? I have to get ready, for all we know I might actually have my first kiss with Masaya," I said as I put some strawberry flavored lip gloss on my lips

"I know he's defitly not going to kiss you," Ryou said crossing his arms and leaning against the bar counter

"Shut up you're always being rude to me, and when something good is finally going to happen to me you can't even be happy for me, I hate you, I always have and always will and nothing you or anybody does can ever make me change my mind!" I yelled to him as I looked at him with an angry expression in my eyes

"Fine, I won't tell you, good luck on your date, but when he says something to you that'll hurt you don't come crying to me," Ryou said walking towards the stairs while I stomped out of the bar

"Oh and before I forget, I QUIT!" I yelled then I ran out not even waiting for him to say anything.

When I came to my apartment a feeling of guilt came over my mind 'Maybe I was too harsh on Ryou, but he was so rude to say that Masaya's never going to kiss me, I wonder what he needed to tell me, oh well it's probably nothing, probably trying to make me work overtime, well he doesn't have to worry about me seeing him ever again!' I thought walking into the bathroom so I could take a shower.

Ten minutes later I walked into the living room and found Masaya sitting on my couch reading a biology book "Hey, Masaya when'd you get here?" I asked him drying my hair a little with my pink towel

"I just got here, you smell nice," Masaya said with a smile which made me a little nervous but I pushed that emotion away

"Arigato, you're so sweet, unlike my ex boss Ryou," I said sitting down next to him and opening my history book to the chapter that I would be tested on

"Ex boss, what happened?" Masaya asked me looking up from his biology book

"He was doubting me about something and it made me ticked off so I quitted," I said shrugging my shoulders not looking up from my history book

"What did he doubt you about?" Masaya asked making me look up from my book

"He said that someone I know will never kiss me and it just threw me over the edge," I said looking back into my history book

"Well I can see the reason why you quit and I don't blame you," Masaya said looking back into his book and we started studying.

"Well I better be going, before Kyle does something to his girlfriend," Masaya said closing his book and putting it into his backpack, so I looked at the time and saw that we've been studying/talking for an hour

"Okay I'll see you tomorrow," I said walking to the door with him then I leaned in to kiss him but he backed away

"I'm sorry Ichigo, I never really wanted to hurt you, but...how can I say this in the right way...you're not really my type, sorry, see you tomorrow, bye," Masaya said walking out of the door

"Uh yeah bye," I said holding back my tears, then when I closed the door I leaned against it and started to cry.

A few minutes later I walked into my room and laid on my bed hearing Masaya's words play in my head which made me cry myself to sleep.

"Good morning Ichigo, I heard that you quit, what happened?" Lettuce asked me as I took a seat next to her

"My mistake, Ryou was about to warn me about Masaya but I didn't listen and I got so mad that I said some things that I should've never said," I said putting my forehead against the desk

"It's okay Ichigo, you know you could apologize to Ryou after class," Lettuce suggested

"I can't, he probably won't ever talk to me after I told him that I'll hate him for life," I said making my shoulders slump in depression

"Well, I know Ryou and he'll usually forgive someone if they say that they hate him, besides, we need you, we still haven't found the other three and it's really hard to be the only waitress," Lettuce said as the professor came in.

"Ryou are you in here?" I said searching for Ryou at the bar once all of my classes ended

"What do you want, your last paycheck?" Ryou asked me coming out of the kitchen with his arms crossed

"Look about yesterday...I'm sorry, you were right he never loved me...and I should've never said that I hated you or quit, so will you rehire me?" I asked looking at my feet a little nervous

"Yeah I'll rehire you, thanks for not crying to me, and your ears and tail are showing," Ryou said gently playing with my cat ears

"Your welcome, and please stop playing with my ears, it makes me feel a little weak," I said as Lettuce came in with a blue haired brown eyed girl so I quickly made my ears and tail disappear

"Hello Ryou, Ichigo, this is Mint Aizawa, her parents are forcing her to work so she needs a job," Lettuce said

"Okay, but you'll need to take a blood test first," Ryou said

"Fine, just as long as I can prove to my parents that I'm not some lazy snotty rich girl," Mint said following Ryou to the blood testing room to do the same thing that he did to me and Lettuce.

"So is she one of us?" I asked Ryou when Mint left as Ryou started typing on his computer

"Yep, her DNA matches that of a ultramarine lorikeet, arigato Lettuce at least someone is doing their job," Ryou said giving me a smirk

"Hey, I'm trying over here, besides, my mom wants me to visit this high school girl to help her look for a job, so I'll bring her here," I said walking off to go change into my uniform.

A week later I walked to the house that belonged to the high school girl so I could offer her a job. A couple of minutes later I walked in front of a small house that seemed a little broken down so I knocked on the door. "Yes how can I be of service na no da?" a blonde high school girl asked me a few seconds later

"Uh...hi, I'm Ichigo Momomyia, and my parents asked me to come here to offer you a job," I said as the girl grew a smile and hugged me

"Arigato, I weally need this jobby wobby, so when can I start na no da?"

"Uh, well can you come by, my boss needs for you to take a blood test," I said as the girl nodded

"Okay, oh and before I forget my name's Pudding Fong, let me tell my little brother to take care of Heicha, Chancha, and all the rest of my siblings!" Pudding said walking into the house, then a couple of seconds later she came back out and closed the door,

"Okay, we can go now, na no da!" Pudding said following me towards the bar.

"So is she one of us?" I asked Ryou after Pudding went home

"I'll tell you after you and Lettuce defeat Kish who's in the park," Ryou said as I looked at Lettuce then we ran out of the door towards the park.

When we arrived to the park we saw hundreds of people running away from the park and we saw why, there were huge monsters that looked like birds and they started pecking at people who were running "How do we stop that?" I yelled to Lettuce over all of the screaming

"Just make your nails grow long, I can drown it by using that lake over there!" Lettuce shouted back as she pointed to a huge lake so I took her advice and tried to make my nails grow long, and much to my surprise they were so sharp that I could've beaten the world record for sharpest nails in the world so I rushed to the monster who was about to peck a little girl and scratched him, then some sort of words came into my head

"Mew Mew Strawberry Metamorphis!" I yelled and the next thing I knew I was wearing a pink dress, pink knee high boots, pinkish reddish gloves, a pink and red choker with a pendent on it, and there was some sort of bell on my cat tail

"How'd you do that!" Lettuce shouted to me as she made a wave of water attack the monster

"I was hoping you'd know...Strawberry Bell Bell!" I shouted then a pink bell appeared in my hands so I shouted the first words that came into my mind "Ribbon Strawberry Check!"

A couple of seconds later the monster disappeared and became a pigeon and some sort of floating jellyfish.

A/N:Wow I actually made three long chapters in one week that's a record, and i know that this is coming out on the same day as the other two chapters, but I typed it up during spring break and I have to e-mail this to my self, go to the library copy my fanfic, save it on Microsoft Word, then that's when I can upload a chapter, but so far it's been really hard, because I tried to do that on 3/23/05 but the darn computer wouldn't save it and my mom is forbidding me to go on the internet until she buys this program to help stop viruses, and that'll take a while :slams head on desk in depression: anywho here's the sneak peek:

"Ryou, Ichigo is drunk, see," Mint said to Ryou at the college party so he looked to where Mint was pointing and he saw me drinking a couple of bottle of beers while I was standing on the counter with college boys cheering me on

"TAKE IT OFF, TAKE IT OFF!" a drunk boy said

"Take what off, oh you mean this?" I said in a slurred voice as I put the beer bottles on the counter then I stood back up and started taking my shirt off but then Ryou climbed on the counter and stopped me

"That's enough Ichigo, I think I better take you home," Ryou said carrying me in his arms and hopping off of the counter

"Aw come on Ryou, you know you want to see my see-through bra," I said starting to hiccup as Ryou rolled his eyes

"NO and you shouldn't even be drinking after you promised me that you would stop getting drunk," Ryou said walking out of the building filled with drunks, with Lettuce, and Mint following us out to go home.

I know that this isn't the best sneak peek ever, but I just couldn't even think of anything, and my mom made me have a half hour limit on the computer, and after I only had two Cs on my report card for once in my jr. high year, I blame my sister, it's her fault, anywho, review me like now dude/dudette. Adios!
