Chapter 7: Unexpected

Mint's POV

Mint was waiting for Masaya outside the school gate. Ichigo said he would wait there for her but there was no sign of him. Turning her back towards the school she wondered for the tenth time why she agreed to this…A voice behind her startled her out of her thoughts, she spun around, in the process losing her balance…she was about to fall when a hand grabbed hers. "Masaya!" Once she was on her feet again he let her hand go leaving it with a tinteling sensation. "Sorry for startling you that wasn't my intention." Pulling her self together remembering that, it was Ichigo boyfriend, she only then trusted herself to speak "It's okay, thank you for catching me. Ichigo asked me to give you this package." "Thank you I need it for the kendo match…" He reach out and takes it from her touching her hand ever so lightly but enough to make her feel the sensation again. Desperate to get away she just waved a quick good bye and good luck for the match, mentally slapping her self for not being in control of her emotions.

Later the evening with Ichigo.

Ichigo and her friends were sitting in the corner of a small café. Days were getting colder in Tokyo and that particular night was one of the coldest.

"Earth to Ichigo…" her friend Moe was waving her hand in front of her face viciously "Huh?" "Where's your head today, your not paying any attention at what we are saying?" "Sorry you guys I don't know what's up with me lately…what were you saying?" "Oh never mind…I forgot about the time we should have been home by now already, see you later Ichigo."

Ichigo waved them goodbye and paid the bill. Walking out into the cold air she pulls her coat tighter to keep most of the cold out, it started to drizzle out side. A familiar tune started playing "Hello?" "Is it Ichigo Momamiya speaking?" "Yes it is her" "I am sorry to inform you Miss but your brother died two weeks ago…" It felt like someone punched the air out off her lungs, she started to run, trying to get away from the feeling in her heart… It started to rain harder with the rain drops feeling like little needles piercing her skin but she didn't care…not now…Before she could take in what was happening she felt herself slip on the wet surface of the bridge, felling on her back she started slipping towards the edge, she grabbed onto one of the planks but lost her grip…falling into the dark icy blue liquid. She tried to yell but the liquid soon filled her mouth preventing the sound coming out. The last thing she remembers is some thing hitting her head…
