Crimson Tears

Chapter7 Please Don't Cry!

"W-why would he do this to me?!" Ichigo asked the stranger, who was now holding on to her even tighter than before. "Did I d-do something wrong? Why does he hate me?!" She questioned, more to herself than to the person holding her.

"Shhh…………" Kishu cooed softly, patting Ichigo's shoulders in an effort to comfort the smaller girl. "You did nothing wrong. Don't blame yourself if he can't see what a beautiful, smart, kind, and lovely girl he's missing, then it's HIS mistake. Not yours………So…………" Kish turned around to face Ichigo (he was hugging her from behind) and lifted her head so their eyes met. Ichigo looked surprised and slightly annoyed to find it was Kishu who was holding her also that HE was crying as well, but Kishu tried not to let it bother him. "So, don't cry!" He whispered, tilting her head back ever so slightly and kissing her gently on the lips. However, they were shortly interrupted by the Mew Mew's who were just in the clearing ahead calling out for Ichigo. "Mou! Already? No fair, we just started!" Kish complained in a hushed tone so that the rest of the Mew Mew's wouldn't hear "Hmm, oh well!" He chuckled to himself, releasing Ichigo from his hug and floating up into the now dark night sky. "See ya later Kitten!" He called, disappearing behind the trees just as the Mew Mew's came running over to where Ichigo was.

"Hey Ichigo!" Mint called without getting a reply from the strawberry girl.

"ICHIGO!" She tried again, this time catching her attention.

"Huh?" she called back, still dazed.

"Ichigo, you shouldn't run off like that! You had us worried something happened to you!" Lettuce scolded gently.

"But nothing DID happen right?" Ryou asked.

"Right, nothing happened………." Ichigo repeated still staring, hazy-eyed up at the sky.

"Then let's go to the dance NA NO DA!" Purin cried, skipping off towards the car, followed by the others except for Ichigo who stayed perfectly still thinking quietly to herself.

Riiiiiiiiight, Nothing happened! Whatever! She thought smiling and running to catch up with the others, feeling suddenly light-headed and perky. "HEY GUYZ, WAIT FOR MEH!!!"
