Airport

I smiled at Ryou as he looked me over. I was his same height now so that was cool. "Good to see you again Ryou. The girls asked me here." I watched as Ryou looked at the girls and seemed to glare at them as they seem to fall back. "They also said you were closing the café as well." Ryou sighed and shook his head slightly "You have changed Ichigo." I smiled he was trying to be nice I could tell. I also could tell along with see in his eyes that he was sorry and happy to see me. "So have you Ryou." I just stood there looking at Ryou holding my bag never noticing the girls were speaking to me. God how I missed Ryou and his face and the way he looked in that black vest shirt he wore all the time. My god he looks good in it. More so now then he did when we were younger. My god he's a hunk now. I noticed my face start to heat up and I shook my head slightly as we all walked out to the limo. I forgot about how Ryou could do that to me so easily.

Ichigo sat sitting on the bench crying her eyes out. She didn't notice someone walk up to her and sit down beside her. But she did feel someone gather her up in there arms and sit there and hold her close as she cried. Ichigo looked up and blinked as she looked at Ryou "Why Ryou?" Ryou just hushed her and held her "Some times these things happen." Ichigo leaned her head against his chest as she tried to fight back the tears "My mother has got cancer. She doesn't have that long to live." Ryou rubbed her back gently "Its ok you should let the tears out. It will make you feel better. You know the girls and me and Kiichiro will be there for you during your hard time." Ichigo wiped away the tears "Thanks Ryou that means a lot to me." Ryou smiled into her hair "Feeling better now strawberry?" Ichigo nodded her head "Yeah thanks Ryou." Ryou smiled as Ichigo and he stood up "No problem baka Strawberry. I lost my mom once before." Ryou tried not to laugh at Ichigo as she frowned up at him. Ryou was shocked when Ichigo leaned up and kissed his cheek "Thanks Ryou." Ryou stood there watching her walk away. Ichigo's face was beat red after kissing Ryou.

After we all got into the limo the girls flocked around me asking how America was. "It's fine there. Dad is enjoying his job there. Though he's also sick as well so we might be moving back here I don't know yet." I noticed Ryou's ear's and body manner seem to pick up with the whole idea of me moving back I just picked up my cell phone and noticed that there was a message from my dad "Wait a min I got a message from my dad." I went to check the message dad was going to move back and wanted me to find him a place and to find my self a place to stay. After the message I turned off my cell and looked around at everyone "Were moving back." I know I was an adult but I knew my father needed me were ever he was at. That and Ryou looked like he could be happy if I was back in town. As long as he stopped being a jerk again but will it go that way or not.

We pulled up in front of the café when Ryou spoke up "We got room in the café for both Linda and Ichigo until they find a place to stay." Linda agreed right away. I thought about it a little longer. Noticing that Ryou looked really sad "Sure if you two boys don't mind having to girls about." The girls waved good bye saying that we all catch up tomorrow after I had a good night sleep. I turned around and walked into the café and I couldn't help but giggle. Linda turned and looked at me "What's so funny?" I turned and looked at her as Ryou stood watching me from the steps "The place looks the same as when I left it a long time ago." Linda, Kiichiro, even Ryou were laughing at me. I just blushed as we all went up stairs. I followed Ryou to the room next to his. "This is your room then Ichigo."

I smiled and thanked him as I went inside the room "If you need anything I'm right next door to you. Good night Ichigo. And I am glad to have you back here again. I really am Ichigo." Before I could say anything to Ryou the door was closed behind him. I yawned as I took my bag and grabbed my soap and shampoo and turned and walked into the bath room with my sleep cloths. I took a shower before I changed cloths and turned off all the lights in the room and lay down on the bed. I remember my boyfriends from before I went off to school in America. I couldn't believe that I went from dating Masaya to dating Kish to not dating anyone for a very long time. I guess I only really wanted to date was Ryou all along for some strange reason. Thought he was always a jerk towards me. I crawled under the covers and closed my eyes and went to sleep as soon as I closed my eyes. I was very tired though it wasn't even dark yet outside it was only after two p.m. Oh well.
