Hi! I'm doing this chapter of Tears of Memory first because more people want this up. So anyway, first, answer to reviews:

switchfootfan887- Yeah, Ichigo blacked out when she hit the wall. I probably should have added that, but, eh. Arigatou for reviewing!

Tylec Asroc- That's why I rated it T. Also for what Ichigo sees at the end of her dream. And Ryou was trying reeeaaallly hard not to attack. It was partly because he thought the little girl cared for the man and would get sad if he got hurt. That helped him… restrain himself. But… I thought Kisshu and Taruto had the weird names for their weapons. I'm pretty sure I saw it somewhere… I'll have to look into that. But thanks for reviewing and for Purin's attack!

Sara Tober- Yes, in this chapter you will find out who is in Ichigo's dream. Sadly, this chapter probably will not have Ryou+Ichigo because it's focusing on Ichigo's dream. I dunno exactly when it will have coupling, when the time is right I guess.

Sakura::in a dull voice: and thanks to all other reviewers.

Good! Now… Let's disclaim! Hope you like the fic!

Disclaimer: I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew. Mia Ikumi does. I do own all people in Ichigo's dream. So HA!

Chapter 3Mystery Revealed

Ichigo knew where she was. She was on a floor, white. And in front of her was an altar. A casket. Her heart sunk.

She was at a funeral. That was why everyone was crying. Then, she heard herself call out, "Mama-san! Why is everyone crying?"

Her mother hugged her. She heard herself murmur "mama-san" as she nuzzled into her mother. Then a woman came up to her mother.

"It's your sister," the woman said, handing a phone to her mother. The woman walked away and her mother started talking.

"Hello, Sakura…" Wait. Sakura. That was her mother's name! It couldn't be… that… "It's alright. It's not your fault. Don't worry about me. I'll be alright. Sayonara, Sakura-chan." So this woman, her mother, apparently, was Sakura's sister. Older, too. Then someone else came.

"Miss Momomiya, could I please escort your daughter and you to your rooms?" It was a young woman, an aide to the family.

"That would be very kind of you. And please, no need for the formality. Just call me by my first name," her mother replied.

"Alright. Let's go, Hana-san." Hana. Ichigo thought. Her parents must have liked beautiful names (hana means flower, sakura means cherry blossom).

Ichigo fell asleep before she got to her room, so the aide had to carry her there. Ichigo remembered a warm bed…

She awoke from her bed. She looked at the calendar in her room. It was May 20th, the day of her father's death, except it was a year later. I slept for a year? She thought worriedly. Then it hit her.

I'm in a dream. I probably just jumped ahead a year because something happens today. But what is it? She walked out of her room and into the hallway. She wanted to jump, but her body wouldn't listen to her.

The hallway was a mixture of pearl and gold, with a horribly addicting soft carpet. When she got out of the hallway there was a room made of marble, with silken banners hanging on the wall in all colors.

Ichigo seemed to know which way to go. She turned to the left and then trotted into hat appeared to be a stone gazebo, only it was much wider and a little bit taller. If you looked outside you would see a gentle pond, still water with the sun shining on it. Ichigo walked to the breakfast room, which was a huge dining hall, and ate a fancy dish that used pretty much only vegetables. She then walked outside.

"Ichigo onee-san!" a voice cried. It was Okashi, a daughter of one of the maids. Behind her was Kinomi, Okashi's best friend. Kinomi was also a daughter of the maids. Okashi was very hyper, but Kinomi was shy and became even more so after the funeral.

"K-K-K-Konnichi wa, Ichigo o-onee-san," Kinomi said quietly.

"Wanna plaaay?" Okashi yelled in an annoying voice.

"Okay! Let's go to the play room!"

The play room was circular, carpeted with a swirl of rainbows and so was the wall. There were toys scattered about with a nearly empty treasure chest on the other side of the room.

"Let's play with stuffed animals! Superhero stuffed animals! And they'll fly around and help every girl in need!" Okashi announced bravely. She grabbed the butterfly. Kinomi grabbed the mouse. Ichigo ended up taking the cat (teehee!).

While they played, Ichigo's younger mind thought of her mother. Mama-san just spends all day somewhere, writing, writing, writing! She never plays with me anymore… She got up and ran out of the room. The other two called after her, but she kept running. She went to her mother's room. No one was there.

She went everywhere, running around until… she turned and looked down a hallway. Her father's bedroom. But why would her mother go in there? She had to check. She ran down the hallway and opened the door.

She gasped. Her mother was holding a knife to her heart. The knife was one Ichigo's father used for safekeeping. Her mother turned to her.

"I'm sorry you have to see this," she murmured, tears falling from her eyes. "But I can't live without him. I can't live without Hinshu."

"Sayonara… my dearest daughter."

There was a splatter of blood.

Ichigo just stood there, watching. She had done nothing to stop it. Ryou had said, "It was probably only a dream." But she knew this wasn't.

Ichigo woke up from her bed, crying, and Ryou immediately was at her side.

"Ichigo? Ichigo, what happened?" he questioned, but Ichigo was only crying. "Ichigo…" She only continued crying. Then Mint came up.

"Is sh- Ichigo! What's wrong?" Ichigo only continued crying. And although they tried to comfort her, she only kept crying, crying a river a tears.

End

You like? Hope so! R+R people! I have Sakura hostage! So review if you don't want her to get hurt.

Sakura: Don't let her kill me. PLEASE. Wait. Then you'd be half dead, Starfire.

….oh. Yeah. I don't care about that! So byes till next chapter! And, sorry it was short. Me thinks next chapter will have the beginning of Zakuro's past. But, now I must write next chapter to Codename: Black Cat. Read that too people! And review it! Sayonara!
