Questions

They began to kiss as the sun set formally behind them. Ichigo pushed the man off her to see who it was.

"Masaya?" Ichigo asked, "How are you here? You're dead!" she looked curiously at him and waited for and answer.

"It this how it's gonna be, Ichigo?" Masaya replied, "Just because I died he moves in where I left off?"

"It's been three years since you died," Ichigo said, "Am I not allowed to see other men? It's not like you're coming back any time soon. And I don't think I'm gonna die for a while, either."

"Just choose," Masaya snapped, "It's him or me!" The voice echoed through her head.

"Him or me!" Ichigo sat up, scared after her dream. Was it true? Was she really going to show disloyalty to Masaya by dating Ryou? Ryou came in Ichigo's room and said, "You're not up yet?" He was wearing nothing but a towel.

"Oh, my god!" Ichigo was still panting from her frightening dream.

"What's wrong?" Ryou asked, "Ichigo?"

"You have to go…" Ichigo began to push Ryou out the door.

"What's up?" Ryou asked, "I thought you wanted to be my girlfriend!"

"I do!" Ichigo gasped, "I just…I just need time to think!" She pushed harder, but Ryou didn't budge.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Ryou yelled, "At least let me change!" He walked back into the bathroom leaving Ichigo alone to think.

At work Ichigo hardly paid any attention. She just stood beside a table, rubbing and rubbing, over and over in the same spot until Mint came up and said, "I think it's clean," to which Ichigo nodded and went to the next table (which Zakuro had just cleaned five minutes ago!). It went on like this all day until Ryou asked Ichigo what was wrong.

"Nothing," Ichigo said.

"What is it?" Ryou said.

"Nothing!"

"Okay, Ichigo, I think you need the day off. Why don't you go home and get some rest." Ichigo looked at him and then nodded, "Mm-hhh." She left.

When she got home, she lay down and slept for two whole hours.

"You didn't break up with him," Masaya's voice said. But just his voice. Where was the rest of him?

"Masaya! I'm sorry! Where are you? I can't find you!" Ichigo screamed. Out of nowhere, Kish and Masaya appeared.

"I'll take matters into my own hands," Masaya said, "I'll let Kish take care of this!"

(Evil laugh)

Ichigo sat up from her dream, crying. "Kish is gonna kill me!" Ichigo said. She heard an evil laugh, like in her dream and she looked up. Kish had been floating above his head, laughing like a maniac. Ichigo screamed and Kish disappeared into the night.

Sorry it's not that long. I'm working on more. Jayce, don't kill me for naming Kish's laugh evil!
