Me: OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG It's finally done peoples!!! The wait is over and the last chapter can finally commence. At first I thought... Hmm maybe I should just piss off my fans and end the story in an angsty way... But then I realised... I can't have you guys hating me... I need you to love me so that you can shower me with gifts and love... And COOKIES hehehehe... So I decided to just flip a coin and well... Here it is
Hope you enjoy!!!
Ryou sat up from his bed faster than ever before, attempting to calm his irregular breathing. 'Had it actually happened?' He thought. 'Is Ichigo really gone?' Getting up faster than ever and racing down the stairs. He didn't care that his hair was messed beyond belief, nor did he notice that his upper body was naked for the world to view. All that Ryou cared about was getting to the bottom step.
Ryou glided down the stairs at an unimaginable pace, completely forgetting the sharp 90 degree turn halfway down as he crashed head on into the wall. With a garbled whine, the blonde lost his footing and soon found himself rolling down the remaining stairs before landing on the bottom step upside down and clutching his aching head, his eyes shut tight to protect them from the glare of the light above. Seconds later a shadow cast itself over the blinding light and a feminine voice resonated through his ears, "Ryou, are you ok?" The blonde squinted his eyes slightly, only to see purple and frills. "Wh-where's Ichigo?" Ryou moaned, feeling a headache forming at the back of his head as he sat up and nursed his aching head. "She took the day off remember? You said that she could" Zakuro replied and helped Ryou onto his feet. Ryou simply nodded and spun around, choosing to walk carefully down into the lab and type some things up on the computer. "Computer, find masha's location" Ryou ordered as the coordinates came up onto the screen:
"Earth, Japan, Tokyo, Tokyo Park"
It read while Ryou stood abruptly and ran up the steps towards the four curious girls and one suspicious chef. "Retasu, my jacket please" Ryou asked and extended his hand to grab the clothing from the green haired girl. "What's wrong Ryou-san? Is Ichigo-san in trouble?" she asked timidly however she was ignored by Ryou who flew past her and out the door as his friends just watched him go.
Tokyo Park
"Why can't you take me with you? I thought you said you would take me? Don't you love me Masaya?" Ichigo whispered as tears flowed down her cheeks but Masaya paid no heed to her tears as his face remained a constant frown. "I'm sorry Ichigo but ever since I found out that you're mew Ichigo, I lost interest. I just can't be with someone like that" He replied curtly,
But Masaya, the powers will go away now that there is no threat. We still have a chance" Ichigo threw herself at Masaya, hoping, praying that he would reconsider. If he left her then she would have no one. His reaction however was not as she had hoped...
With Ryou
He was almost at the park, near the tree where he had saved Ichigo the first time when he saw it, Ichigo crying while Masaya ignored her. His lungs burned and his body ached from the constant running but that didn't stop him, driving him to further pump his legs and speed up. The two were still too far for him to hear their words however the lip movement and Ichigo's actions told him one thing, if Ryou didn't get there in time, he may lose Ichigo forever.
"Don't you get it Ichigo? I DON'T LOVE YOU!" Masaya yelled, pushing Ichigo away and to the cold concrete path beneath them however Ichigo didn't fall like she thought she would. Instead she found herself only centimetres from the ground with two strong arms encircled around her waist. Ichigo gasped loudly as the arms pulled her into a deep hug and a masculine chin rested on her head. 'Masaya? No it can't be him he's standing right in front of me. Then who could it be?' Ichigo thought, leaning into the warm body behind her. "Don't you ever hurt my strawberry, or there will be hell to pay" The voice from behind boomed and Ichigo turned her head around, only to see her blonde haired, blue eyed boss standing right behind her, holding her as if she were the most precious jewel in the world. "Now get lost and don't ever let me see you again." Masaya glared at Ryou and spat at his feet, turning around and stalking off with his hands in his pockets.
Ryou smirked widely before looking down to catch Ichigo's shocked stare. The two just looked at each other before Ichigo shook her head roughly and pushed herself out of Ryou's arms. "Why the hell did you do that for? Why did you have to butt in? I didn't need your help! I don't need you!" Ichigo yelled throwing her arms up as her voice rose. Ryou's face was serious, no humor in sight as he looked at Ichigo. "Ichigo, I knew that you were going to get dumped by Masaya today. I also know that your father is moving to America, that's why you needed Masaya; so that you could stay in Japan with him." Ryou said and watched as Ichigo's mouth opened and closed like a fish.
"But... But how did you know? I mean... I only found out about it yesterday and I haven't told a soul. You didn't talk to my parents did you?" Ichigo asked in confusion but Ryou shook his head.
"If you'll believe me, I saw it in a dream. You had already been dumped and had decided to move to America so when I went to confess my feelings, it was already too late. I woke up and realised that today was the day and that if I didn't at least try now then I would lose you forever." Ichigo merely stared at the blonde, knowing that he was telling the truth however unable to comprehend how he knew. "Wait... You confessed your feelings?" Ichigo asked. Ryou chuckled as took a step towards Ichigo, his hand pressing gently onto her cheek. "Yes strawberry. You may not know this but I have loved you for so long, yet your relationship with Masaya has kept me from saying it. I'm sorry that I acted like such a jerk all of those times, I just wanted you to notice me and not always notice Masaya. I am doing something that I haven't done since my parents were alive but I think that if I don't, I will never get another chance." Ryou poured out his feelings, lowering his head and capturing Ichigo's lips in a kiss to seal his words. Ichigo could feel Ryou's true feelings through the searing kiss and soon found her heart fluttering wildly and her legs turning to jelly. Never, not even with Masaya, had she felt such an emotion and returned the kiss with a fever that she didn't even know she had.
Parting for air, Ryou stared into Ichigo's eyes, his lips curling into a smile when he saw the love in Ichigo's eyes and the red tint that stained her cheeks. "So you do love me" Ryou stated, laughing as he scratched her cat ears that had formed somewhere during their kiss. Ichigo merely purred as she hugged Ryou tightly. "Thank you Ryou, for showing me the right way. I will definitely stay in Japan, if you'll let me stay with you"
"Oh? So you're already planning on moving in are you?" Ryou smirked
"Well fine, if you really want me to just move to America-" Ichigo challenged back but was stopped by Ryou's lips that had planted themselves onto her own. "Never, I have you now and I'm not letting you go my little strawberry."
The two walked back to the cafe, holding hands with smiles etched upon their faces, ready to face the world together... Forever
