Me: Hi there everyone... As you can see I haven't been writing at all... that's because I was very busy

Sesshoumaru: No, you haven't been writing because you are lazy

Me: O.O how could you say that sesshy?!? I thought you loved meeeee

Sesshoumaru: I would love nothing more than for you to complete this story so that I may force you to write yet another story. I like being able to control you.

Me: oh my... Well I'd just like to say thank you to a certain person who wrote to me personally and gave me a good reason to continue. I may have forgotten your name but you have pushed me to finish the story. So thx alot!!!

Sesshoumaru: cough-black moon inu-cough

Me: On with the show

She sat up in the tall tree, the same tree that she had been carried into when she first learnt of her powers. The same tree where Masaya had told her that he loved her and the same place where he had said goodbye to her for the last time and now, it would be the last thing she would remember about Tokyo. Tears flooded down her cheeks at her own foolishness, 'how could he ever love me? I was just his tool that he could use until I was no longer needed' Ichigo thought while looking into the night sky. The stars seemed to shine brighter than normally as Ichigo once again stared into them, thinking about Masaya and all the reasons why she wanted him here to comfort her. The reasons however, didn't flow like last time she star searched and her mind began to wander back to Ryouand her feelings towards him. Her heart; she realised, had felt too much pain and could no longer cope with the pain of loss and betrayal, 'Masaya will be the last' Ichigo thought. Scoffing, the girl jumped perfectly off the tall branch of the tree and landed softly on the floor, her tears no longer falling and a look of determination evident on her features as the clouds above her began to form and darken.

Ryou was racing for time, trying to imagine all of the places that his Ichigo would be using the help of her trusty ball of fur Masha. Passing the entrance to a park, Masha's sensors went berserk. The tiny bot began beeping and Ryou stopped at a dead halt, looking towards the entrance of the familiar park. The whole place seemed to be surrounded by tall, rusty fencing while unkempt trees and bushes grew unevenly on the ground beside the path that had seen better days behind the many cracks and holes. The lights that had once all lit up the beautiful park barely even shone anymore or didn't even glow at all, young vandals having destroyed the beauty that had once been so popular even in the evenings. Ryou knew the park well, this being the place where he had first rescued Ichigo and had started to fall into the deep curse that was love. "Are you sure she's here Masha?" Ryou asked while still trying to regian his breath while the robot bounded happily in the air. "yes yes Ichigo here!!! Always here" the bot cheered, confusing Ryou, "Show recording of when Ichigo entered Tokyo park" Ryou ordered and Masha's eyes changed to a dull white as a projector system began to play in front of Ryou's eyes.

The first time was when Ichigo was standing beneath a tree with Masaya as he held her hands tightly. There was no sound, only the images of Masaya and Ichigo hugging while smiling and holding each other tightly. The scene faded and moved to a few more shots where the two were together, walking, holding hands, even kissing. But the last video was what Ryou seemed to be the most shocked about. It was Masaya, standing in front of Ichigo with a frown on his face, ignoring the tears that were falling on the red haired girl as she attempted to hug him. Her efforts to regain a connection however were cut short when he placed his hands in front of him and pushed Ichigo roughly to the ground. Shouting something, Masaya walked away, not even looking back to see if Ichigo was ok.

Masha's eyes turned back to normal and the projector died down but Ryou could not forget the images he had seen. It had seemed as if Masaya had broken up with Ichigo, and quite harshly as well. 'Maybe this is my chance' Ryou thought with a new enthusiasm that gave him the strength to run into the empty park and follow the path to search for his beloved Ichigo. As he pumped his legs harder, Ryou didn't even feel the rain as it fell. Drop by drop.

Ichigo had taken no more than ten steps when she heard it. The heavy breathing and long strides that were coming closer and the figure that had emerged from the hairpin turn in front of her. Blonde hair swayed uncontrollably as Ryou soon was no more than five meters from a surprised yet serious Ichigo. Bending as low as possible, Ryou drank as much of the surrounding air as his lungs would allow while watching a bored Ichigo walk away. "NO" he screamed through his hard breathing and began to exhort any energy he had left into reaching where the cat girl had paused still in mid step. "Please" he begged in a hoarse voice "wait."
"And what makes you think that I will even give you the time to catch your breath?" Ichigo said in a bored tone that was so unlike her. She did however, give him the time that he had requested and waited until he had regained his breath. "I know about Masaya" he said in a serious tone, noting the shocked look that Ichigo had on her face at his words. "How?"
"Masha" he said before stepping closer towards her frozen body. "Ichigo, I've been too afraid to tell you before because you seemed so happy with Masaya, but now that I know the truth I have to tell you something-" he began but Ichigo stopped him short of finishing.
"Please don't say it... I can't... I can't hear it" Ichigo's sight began to blur as she felt the sting of the forming tears that threatened to spill with each word uttered from his lips. The rain was now falling heavily, drenching the two heartbroken people "Ichigo... What's the matter? Why are you pushing me away?" Ryou begged but it was useless, Ichigo shook her head furiously, refusing to look at the deep blue pools of light that were boring into her with fear. "Don't say it. Don't tell me that please" Ichigo tried to stop the strong arms from grabbing her shoulders but his strength had overcome her resistance and She found herself soon in Ryou's arms as he whispered softly into her ear. "Tell me... please." Taking a step back, Ryou released his hold on the girl as a single tear slipped out of her control and rolled down her cheek. "I'm... leaving" she said quietly, "father has been relocated to another factory in America and because I have nowhere else to go I have to go to America as well."
"No... what about the other mews? Do they know???" Ryou asked
"No... no one does. But I have made up my mind and I have agreed to go. There have even been reports of alien and mysterious activity in America so I can help there as well" Ryou could barely hear her over the sound of his own heart breaking before his eyes. Over all of the years he had worked with Ichigo, never had he thought that his harsh words could drive the girl away. "S-Stay... stay with me-" he began but Ichigo just shook her head.
"If you're ever in California, drop by my cafe" Ichigo said before turning around and running into the dark bushes. Ryou called out for her in desperation but it was futile and she was gone in seconds, but it seemed like a lifetime's walk from the park to the cafe with such a heavy heart as the clouds cried the tears he would never shed.
