Ichigo POV

Where am I? This place looks familiar in some sort of way, it looks like the airport…. why am I here? She spotted a girl that look like her and a boy who looks some years older than the girl. She moved closer to hear what they were saying it was like a movie clip from her past…

"Kaneko…I'm sorry…I don't have a choice but I'll be back, I promise." She saw him wiping away a tear stain on the girls cheek. "Promise?" "Yeah and then we can do what ever you like and we can go eat ice cream untill our tongues fall off, maybe we can even tell mom and dad he truth…"

" I don't want you to go. I'll miss you." "I'll miss you too. I'm really sorry things are this way" The boy reaches into his pocket and brings a little pink box into view "Here I got you something." "What is it?" "Go ahead open it" The girl eagerly opened the little box taking out a locket within was a photo of her and her brother in it. "Thanx, I'll keep it forever with me." She went up to him and gave him a hug. "Your welcome,take good care of it…bye my little sis take good care off yourself" She squeezed him tightly before she let go. "bye…"

Everything around her went pitch black again, She could hear someone calling her name but couldn't find the source. "Ichigo!…Ichigo!" The voice sounded soo familiar.

"Ichigo…wake up please!" She slowly opened her eyes looking straight into a pair of ocean blue orbs. His face was so close to her own that she could feel his breath

"Ryou?"

He breath out a sign of relieve, he was never so afraid of losing someone in his life. He felt like a ice block because of the icy water he dove into and partly because he was so stressed out. He picked her up bridal style and started towards the café.

"Don't worry strawberry, your going to be okay …just close your eyes and relax" She stared at him as if in a daze although she was aware of the warmth against her body which felt totally numb and cold. "Ryou? Ryou…what happened?"

"Baka you were running so fast for what ever reason you may have and it better be a good on too, I didn't just jumped in for nothing, next time you decide to practise for the Olympics pay attention to where you are running, you could have died…"

For once Ichigo didn't have the strength to argue back, she wanted to scream at him from the top of her lung but all she could utter was "stupid jerk" which unfortunately he couldn't hear. In the back of her head she sort of knew he was just worried and angry. She had to admit it was pretty stupid to run like that. She made a mental note to get back at him another time.

Thinking back to the reason for her running in the first place fresh tears rolled silently over her cheeks onto Ryou shirt but he couldn't see it neither feel it, she just buried her head deeper into his chest, slowly falling asleep to the beat of his heart… Unknowingly to the both the little locket had fallen out her pocket.

Some where in one of the trees a dark shadow was watching them. "Ryou, you might have them both at the moment but ultimately you will have to choose which one will pay the price…"

A voice startled him from behind "He wont need to choose…I'll pay the price" He turned to look at her. "Your very brave my dear, very well then, it will be quite entertaining to see you being torture to death. Would you prefer it if I played with you first or would you like it if my henchmen play first?" He looked her over "It would be such a waste to just kill you without some playtime…"Your just sick! Do it anyway you want to just as quick as possible, the result will be the same…"

"You have one day left, enjoy it…"

Please review...ill be editing the old chapters some time to fix some of the mistakes.
