Yay for you, chapter three! I bet you can't wait, can you, so just read and enjoy, k?
Me no own TMM, but it would've been a great birthday present.
(This is the same night that Zakuro was talking to King Shirogane, and this will have some script form because Masaya is on chat)
Masaya typed away on his computer, trying to find something to entertain him. But then a pop-up came on...
Bluehairedbeauty is online...
Masaya clicked on the name and in an instant, he was talking to his friend...ok, so he didn't know who she was, but that was ok.
Prettyboy2004 says: hi
Bluehairedbeauty says: how is it?
Prettyboy2004 says: its boring, u?
Bluehairedbeauty says: not much going around here either
Prettyboy2004 says: i need 2 tell u something (remember, this is chat, so instead of to, it'll be 2, and a bunch of other messenger wording)
Bluehairedbeauty says: what is it?
Prettyboy2004 says: well, you are a girl, right?
Bluehairedbeauty says: yeah, why? do you think a guy would have this name?
Prettyboy2004 says: lol, right...so, we've known each other 4 about a month, right?
Bluehairedbeauty says: sound right
Prettyboy2004 says: well...if i new u in person, then i would ask...i mean, i would tell you that i love you
Bluehairedbeauty says: oh come on, you're just joking, right...right...oh my god, you do?
Prettyboy2004 says: yes, and if i knew you and i wasn't engaged, i would ask u 2 marry me
Bluehairedbeauty has logged off
"Typical, should've known that something like that would scare her...if I only knew her...she's the most amazing person ever...she expresses her mind in a beautiful manner...but I don't, and I'm engaged, and its not like I'll ever meet her," thought Masaya. Just then, a pop-up saying he had an e-mail came to his screen. After checking it out, he smirked and grabbed his cell phone. This was what the letter read.
Dear prettyboy2004,
I can't really say anything...I was shocked...anyway, if you ever need to talk, I'll always be there. My cell number is (ok, these are random numbers) 325-786-2345.

The next day...
Ichigo pulled Ryou's hand toward the amusement park as Mint and Masaya followed. Mint was given a day off, and decided to go to the amusement park with Ichigo, Ryou, and Masaya. "Come on, lets go on that ride first!" said Ichigo excitedly.
"I love those swings, there so much fun!" explained Ichigo after riding the swings that take you up in the air and spin you around.
"Ryou, are you ok man?" asked Masaya. Now that he knew why Ichigo was so nice to him, he tried to be friends with Ryou, but what happened next wasn't very friendly of Ryou. "I think so, I..." said Ryou as he tried to hold it in, but couldn't as he threw up on Masaya. (Ha, see how much I don't like Masaya) Masaya ran to the nearest bathroom and the others followed. After cleaning the taste out of his mouth, Ryou came out as if nothing had happened.
Masaya was still in there, and that's when everyone started laughing! Masaya came out a few moments later, a big wet spot on his jeans. Mint and Ichigo immediately stopped laughing, but giggled every now and then when Masaya wasn't looking. After Ryou apologized to Masaya, they stayed away from the rides for a while...
"Ichigo, shouldn't we be heading back? It's 8:00 and the park closes in 10 minutes," asked Masaya.
"Lets go on the Ferris wheel first. PLEASE!" begged Ichigo. Ryou looked puzzled as the others continued walking. "Um……..what's a Ferris wheel?"
Ichigo almost burst out laughing; what guy didn't know what a Ferris wheel was? "I'll share a car with you then Ryou since this is your first time. Is that ok Masaya?" she asked. "Its fine, but if he barfs on your skirt, then I can't help it," said Masaya. After reaching the Ferris wheel, they climbed into two separate cars.
Mint and Masaya's Car...
After about a minute of complete silence, Mint finally decided to ask "So, did you talk to anyone new lately?" Masaya wondered why she was looking into his business. "Yeah, I have a friend, I don't know her name, but her screen name is Bluehairedbeauty." Mint must've gone into shock, because she froze when she heard that name.
"In fact, if you're so interested, I can call her right now," he said, getting out his phone and punching in her number. After about 10 seconds, a second phone was ringing, in earshot of Masaya. But that was impossible; these cars had walls and they were up so high. How was it possible that her phone rang at the same time Bluehairedbeauty's would? Mint took her phone and answered. "Hello?" she asked.
"Hi, I never got your name, what is it?" asked Masaya, still a little to shockedto realize that he was talking to the girl sitting across from him. "Well if you want an answer, why don't you just talk to me in person; I'm right here," she said with a little bit of sarcasm and shock in her voice. Masaya turned to Mint and only five words came out. "You're...you're blue haired beauty?"
Ryou and Ichigo's car...
"So you've never been to an arcade, you've never been to an amusement park, and you've never seen or heard of a Ferris Wheel?" asked Ichigo.
"Why is it any of your business?" snapped Ryou. That last thing Masaya had said really pissed him off.
"How dare you talk to me like that you...you...," she said, but Ryou snapped back.
"A what? An idiot, a dimwit? Go ahead and call me anything you want, nothing can make me any madder than I am now."
"Fine, you smart-ass!" she said back.
"Quit acting like a bitch."
"Jerk!"
"Ditz!"
"Bastard!"
"How do you know you're boyfriend isn't cheating on you?"
"None of you business jackass!"
"So he is cheating on you!"
"I never said that so bug off!"
Ok, this could get ugly, so we are just going back to Masaya and Mint's car...
"Masaya...about...about what you said last night...is it true?" asked Mint.
"Well...of...of course...your personality, it's like you didn't have a care in the world. I've always wondered what you've looked like...and...well, I've always wondered about you. Mint...do...do you love me?" asked Masaya after finishing the answer to Mint's question.
"Well...I do...whenever you were with Ichigo, you were so kind, so gentle...I've always wanted to love someone like that, and I secretly loved you, and know one else knew...but now you know...what about Ichigo? Mint said worriedly. She didn't want to hurt her friend, but these were feelings she had to express. The ride was coming to a stop and Masaya quickly told her "I'll tell Zakuro, maybe she'll understand."
As Mint and Masaya waited for the car with Ryou and Ichigo in it, they smiled at each other while also wondering if what they had done was right. Ichigo and Ryou came out of the car bickering, and once while walking back, she almost strangled him.
Next Day...
"I see...so you are canceling the engagement because of someone else," replied Zakuro. Masaya had returned early the next day to straighten things out with Zakuro. "I know that another ball was tonight, but you could still have the ball and make the announcement there," said Masaya. "I am very sorry for not telling you this sooner Queen Zakuro, but..."
"I would prefer if you would call me Zakuro, and it's ok. It's your decision and I must honor that decision as if it were my own," replied Zakuro. "Masaya just let me break it to Ichigo, alright...and you are in love with..." asked Zakuro.
"I must ask this to Zakuro, would it be alright if I married Mint, your personal advisor because she is the woman I love," said Masaya. Mint blushed a deep red; she had to be with Zakuro at all times. She was so ashamed of herself for ever agreeing to something like this. "If she is the one you love, than so be it, I cannot change that. Of course you may," Zakuro said with a heavy heart. Ichigo would be really heartbroken once she found out. "Thank you very much Zakuro." With that said and done, he gave Mint a quick kiss and left.
A maid was idly chatting to another maid as Ichigo walked down the hall. "Did you hear Queen Zakuro's personal advisor has accepted a proposal!" she whispered.
"What, Mints engaged! That's so awesome!" said Ichigo loud and excitedly, scaring the two women. "I have to go talk to Mint and find out who it is." After searching the entire castle, she couldn't find a trace of Mint, and went to her mother, hoping that Mint was with her. Masaya had returned because he had left something behind, and was heading up to Zakuro's room at that very instant. About half-way there, Mint saw Ichigo coming toward her, and started running.
Ichigo didn't know what she was so scared of, but chased after her, and finally caught up to her and tackled her to the ground. Mint didn't look Ichigo in the eye as she lifted the girl off of her and brushed the dirt off her dress. "Who are you engaged to Mint? Please tell me!" said Ichigo excitedly.
"I…..I can't tell you Princess."
Masaya was standing right next to her. Without warning, Masaya gave Mint another quick kiss and went off in the other direction. Ichigo stood there and froze; betrayed. She then burst into tears and burst down the hallway crying.
At that very moment, Ryou was walking down the hallway when a person dashed past him and into Ichigo's room. He wondered what she was doing? He noticed a few moist drops on the floor and glanced worriedly at Ichigo's door.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Thank you all for coming...I would like to announce...that Princess Ichigo will not be getting married to Masaya Aoyama. Instead, Masaya is engaged to my personal advisor, Mint Aizawa," said Zakuro. Ichigo, who was up there with her mother, thought of her conversation with Ryou on the Ferris Wheel. He had said "How do you know your boyfriend isn't cheating on you?" She didn't know what to think; all she knew was that she needed a way to get it out of her, and she would do her one of her favorite ways to get this heavy burden off her shoulders.
"Lettuce, could I please sing a song for someone," she asked nicely to her good friend who had been in this private band for about 5 years. "Oh, of course," said Lettuce. Ichigo whispered something into her ear, and she gave a couple signs to Pai and Tart.
"As my mom said earlier, thanks for coming. I want to apologize for this though; I didn't know it was happening either. So I...I would like to sing you all a song because singing helps me to forget about stuff." After a couple seconds, Tart, Pai and Lettuce started playing, cueing Ichigo to start singing. Lettuce stepped up to the second microphone to aid Ichigo.
Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothing could go wrong
No I can't breathe, No I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on
Here I am
Once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
Sewed together but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe, no I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on
Here I am
Once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Swallow me then spit me out
For hated you I blame myself
Seeing you, it kills me now
Though I don't cry on the outside anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Here I am
Once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Here I am
Once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
And then, she dropped the microphone and ran out. Ryou was watching from a distance and it didn't take him long to follow. Masaya now felt ashamed for what he did, yet he didn't regret it. Mint was the woman he loved and Ichigo needed to accept that...
Ichigo's room...
Ichigo was crying on the balcony facing the sea in her room, and she never once heard her door open. She couldn't believe any of the things that just happened. It was too much. She was drowning in her misery, and yet, she could always end it. She then felt to strong arms around her and a voice that said, "I'm sorry."
Ok, i really hoped you liked it. Yes, this is going very fast, but I am the writer here. Anyway, a summary/paragraph of what's coming up next:
"Ryou, you're such a..." she stopped. Something was coming. The ceiling then busted open, almost crushing people. Ichigo and Ryou parted as they tried to avoid the chunk that almost fell on them. Then, a second burst happened; right over Ichigo. Ryou saw it coming and ran toward her, knocking her out of the way, but in the process, trapping his foot under the large piece of ceiling.
"No, it...it can't be...," thought Ichigo in fear. As the dust cleared, Zakuro saw who the perpetrator was. "You...I thought I rold you never to return againto this kingdom 6 yeas ago for trying to force yourself on my daughter. Leave at once!" No one else could see through the dust except Zakuro, and the voice replied back, "Yes, you did, but now, I'm back for revenge."
Oooh, you want to know who that is. Well, you can guess and send it to me, and I'll tell you if you got it right, but otherwise, you'll have to wait. I think it's pretty easy, I'll make it a little simpler; who is another guy in the series who likes Ichigo? Did that make it easier? Anyway, read and review, over and out. -Nibzo
