Ichigo sat on the bench looking around trying to find Masaya. He had called her earlier that day and asked her to wait for him here. She wore jeans and a simple t-shirt due to the fact she had rushed down here without thinking much of what to wear, that and the fact she planned to spend her day off finishing her summer homework. "Ichigo there you are" she heard the familiar voice of Masaya say.

She turned around to see him standing beside her. He wasn't smiling as he sat down beside her. "There's something I need to tell you." He said slowly so she took in everything. "This won't be easy for you though." She frowned as he said that, confused and not knowing what he was saying she sat and listened. "I think we've out grown each other, Ichigo, I think it's time we go down separate paths, alone that is."

Ichigo understood now and tears welled up in her eyes. Masaya was breaking up with her. She ran, but she didn't know why she was running. She could hear him calling her name, but she couldn't go back, she couldn't stand to be near him any more.

Ryou took another bite of his rice ball flicking through his magazine as the phone beside him began to ring. He picked it up answering in his usually stoic tone, "Café mew mew, this is Ryou speaking, how may I help you?"

"Oh good I got the right number." Said a women who he recognised her voice to be Ichigo's mother's. "By any chance is Ichigo working tonight she hasn't come home yet."

A lumped formed in Ryou's throat; he quickly stood up forgetting about the plate on his lap. "Do you want me to start looking around the café?" he asked.

"Oh yes that would help." She replied hanging up.

Keiichiro heard the plate smash and thought that Purin had dropped another plate performing her tricks. He rushed to see the extent of the damage.

Mint, Lettuce, Purin and Zakuro had also heard the plate smash and rushed to investigate. They arrived to see Ryou hang up the phone and start rushing around like a mad man. Keiichiro came up the stairs from the lab shortly after missing Ryou who had rushed up stairs to find his spray jacket. "Purin, not one of my good dinner plates that's the tenth plate this week." Keiichiro sighed.

"No o, Purin be good, Purin not drop any plates, Na no da." She said happily.

"Ryou did it." Zakuro replied clearing up the mess. "But strange he never breaks anything."

Ryou came rushing down the stairs. "Hey Ryou you what's up?" Zakuro asked.

"She's gone missing." He replied rushing out the door.

Zakuro knew what he meant by 'she' she turned to Keiichiro. "Send the other girls home, I'll go help him." She said following Ryou.

It didn't' take long for Zakuro to find Ichigo. Ichigo was curled up on a bench in the park her head resting against her knees, crying. "What's wrong Ichigo?" she asked.

Ichigo looked up at Zakuro tears streaming down her face. "Ma…Masaya…he…he broke up with me." She said in between sobs.

"Zakuro smiled sympathetically. "You know there is someone out there who will be better then Masaya and he will like you longer then Masaya and for being your true self." She said.

Ichigo thought for a second than her thoughts started to become as she fainted into Zakuro's lap. Zakuro felt Ichigo's forehead she surprised to find she had a fever.

"Ichigo, Ichigo." She heard Ryou yell.

She disappeared heading back towards the café knowing he would find her there unconscious on the bench.

When Ryou arrived Zakuro as far as he knew had never been there. He draped his coat over Ichigo's body. Picking her up and taking her back to the café.

He arrived at the café Zakuro was already back and the others had gone home. "Keiichiro prepare a spare set of clothes of Ichigo, Zakuro get her changed please." He said handing over Ichigo. "Just put her in my bed after you get her changed."

Keiichiro and Zakuro both did what he asked and he set upon the task of calling Ichigo's parents. Ryou hung up the phone and Keiichiro came bolting down the stairs to check on Ryou. "You know they're going to find out soon if you don't tell her." He said.

"Whatever." Ryou replied, disappearing to have his bath.

Ichigo's parents arrived shortly after Ryou had gone to have his bath. Keiichiro greeted them showing them to Ichigo. "It be best not to move her around in this storm though." He said.

"Just thank god she's alright," Said Ichigo's mother.

"Are you sure it's alright," Asked Ichigo's mother.

"Yes, its fine she has t work tomorrow if she feels up to it." He replied.

"Good we don't want to burden you." She said leaving and getting into her car with her husband.

Keiichiro headed towards the kitchen finding Ryou at the table on his lap top going over formulas for the Mew project. "You should have said hello you know." Keiichiro said turning on the tap to start washing up the dishes.

"Yeah whatever," Ryou mumbled.
