Chapter 12: No Worries

Two lonely shadows were both tossing around restless in their beds, as if Mother Nature was a reflection on their minds there was a storm brewing outside…it brought some comfort.

Crystal was sitting on her window sill writing her farewell letters to both Ryou and Ichigo. She love watching a good storm, made her feel less lonely. Two figures appeared on her bed.

The one slowly walked towards her "Its time."

Crystal only arched an eyebrow and continued writing.

"Do I need to repeat myself?!"

Slowly she folded the 2 sheets of paper neatly.

"I won't…" it held a tone of steel in them and if she did bother to care she would have been frightened.

"I heard you the first time" Crystal met his tone of voice equally with a soft icy edge.

His demeanor also became cold "Lets get this over!"

A few hours later:

Ichigo jolted up in her bed with cold sweat running from her forehead. She had a horrible dream of Ryou, if she didn't think she hated him she would be running to the café already. She let out a sign, it's still very early to be thinking of going to work, but she doesn't see the harm in surprising everyone for a change. She whispered a silent prayer that he was indeed okay. Ichigo arrived at the café in record time…if she wasn't so worried she would be laughing at the scene in front of her, Lettuce dropped a few plates, Pudding fell of her ball and Mint messed tea on her skirt, Keichiro just gave her a surprise but welcoming smile.

"Good morning Ichigo" Keichiro waved her welcome and walked back into the kitchen.

"Morning everyone!" Ichigo followed trying to look as casual as possible "Uhmmm Keichiro…where is Ryou?"

His expression changed to a slight frown, "Everything okay?"

Ichigo knew she was a bad lair, but she didn't want to worry him if it was unnecessary.

"Yeah I just wanted to ask him something…no worries"

Before Keichiro could reply she was already running up the stairs. The other mews followed behind her. She just needed to know he was safe, she opened the door of his bedroom without knocking.

"Ryou?!"

His bed was empty, hopefully he was in the shower…a small smile crept on her face when she remembers the times she walked in on him with just a towel, she had to admit she wouldn't mind looking at him more often…mentally slapping her to present matters she opened the door. Her Heart sank to her feet he wasn't there, she knew he wouldn't before she even came to look.

"We have to find him…"

Ryou:

He slowly opened his eyes, his surrounding didn't look much different from the one just seconds ago, he could only make out a dimmed light coming from underneath the door. He let out a soft moan…his head was still throbbing from being knocked out…

Flashback:

Ryou was standing in front of his window; he could hear a soft laughter behind him. He didn't need to turn around to know who it was.

"Its kind of funny, I expected you to be asleep rather than day dreaming" she let out another giggle, he had his back still turned to her when she whispered in his ear " No worries…I'll help you"

His eyebrows furrowed and he turned around to look ate her, she had that same look as earlier on her face, a look he haven't found a word to describe it yet. She caressed his cheek with a soft finger, making his skin tingle. Before Ryou could answer he felt something hit the back of his head…he soon drifted into darkness…."

End of flashback:

"Good your finally awake, you had me worried for awhile."

She moved out form the darkness she where standing in making her way over to his bed, he could only make out her face the rest was all covered in black and she dyed her hair also where a darker shade black, her skin appeared pale except her eyes that stood out in an emerald green, she almost appeared fragile. She kneeled along side his bed; a cold hand touched the area where he has been hit.

"Does it still hurt…?"

He finally got his ability to speak "

"What happened to you?" She pressed her finger harder into the swelling; he fought back a yelp bit she noticed him winch.

"This will feel like a soft kiss compared to what I have in store for you." His blue eyes looked both confused and hurt.

"Why…are you doing this?"

She let out a sadistic laugh, and then rose from the side of the bed, moving to the door. Her hand was on the door handle when she looked back one more time at him, blue orbs met green ones, she loved him once… His eyes pleaded with her to stay but she knew it was out of his nature to ask help from any one, yet his next words caught her by surprise.

"Please don't!…don't leave me, I don't know what happened to you, but let me help you please…I know you're better than this…"

"I was better!...But if I remember correctly you were the one that abandon me five years ago!...people change…"

"Crystal! I'm really sorry I wasn't there for you, I didn't think you would want to see me again."

"You could have tried dammit! No Ryou it's to late…" She closed the door silently behind her, wiping a single tear from the corner of her eye. This isn't going to be as easy as she thought.
