Ichigo: What happens? What happens?? Tell me! I'm the main character! Nya?
Daisukezgirl13: No. No one knows but me and no one finds out until I post it on You'll have to wait just like everyone else.
Ichigo: That's mean!
Daisukezgirl13: I'm just trying to keep my story suspenseful, popular and exciting. Enjoy!
Ichigo: WAIT!!! TELL ME!!!
Daisukezgirl13: Bye Bye!!!
Ichigo: NO!!!!!!!!!! COME BACK!!!!!!
Ichigo was so scarred inside. Masaya began speaking to Mina again. "I hoped you could come tonight. I wanted to see you before I left tomorrow. I even cancelled my plans with my…my friend." At this point, Ichigo's heart was cut open. The "friend" that he had cancelled on was Ichigo. They had planned to spend the night together, but Masaya had cancelled saying that he needed time to "prepare and pack". He had obviously lied so that he could spend time with Mina. Masaya grabbed Mina's hand and they walked upstairs.
Suddenly, the room around Kish and Ichigo blurred out and came back as Masaya's room. Masaya and Mina were on the bed together. Mina leaned her head on Masaya and said to him lovingly, "Oh Masaya, I love you with my whole heart." Masaya ran his fingers through her hair and replied, "I love you more than anything. I wish that I didn't have to go tomorrow because then I'd have to leave you, my one true love." Ichigo began to get choked up. He had said that exact same thing to her. Ichigo's face was contorted with anger and grief. Mina lifted her head, leaned toward Masaya, and just like that, they were kissing. Ichigo stuttered incoherently. Tears fell on the ground from her chin. An icy chill went up her spine. She was shaking with hatred. She hated Masaya and Mina both.
Just then, the door bell rang again. Masaya looked at the door, afraid. Ichigo could only guess that he was scared that Ichigo had come over. She was happy at that thought, but it wasn't her. Kish, as if he could read her mind, said, "It's Mint at the door. She came by to tell Masaya about your kidnapping." Masaya looked back at Mina and said to her, "I wonder who that could be? I'll go check. Stay here and do not go downstairs, okay?" Mina nodded and Masaya smiled as he left.
Mina laid down on the bed and Ichigo's gaze adverted to Masaya's dresser. There were pictures on it. Ichigo went over to them to get a better look. The pictures were all of Mina and Masaya. Last time Ichigo had seen the pictures on the bureau, they had all been of herself and Masaya. Now, it was if she had been deleted from his life completely. Ichigo's eye's welled up with tears. As they fell, Kish came over and laid his hand on Ichigo's back. He didn't say anything, he just stood there. What had she done to deserve this heartbreak?
Minutes passed and nothing happened. Just then, Ichigo heard a noise from behind her. She turned around and saw Mina sit up on the bed. She looked around and then at the clock. "It's been a while. I wonder where 'Saya could be?" She glanced over at Masaya's computer and a wide grin spread across her face. "Well," she started, "since 'Saya isn't back yet, I'll just look through his computer. You can always find out about someone from their computer." She got of the bed, stretched, and sat down at the computer. She stared at the screen for a second, and then her fingers flew across the keyboard.
She pulled up files and went right to Masaya's pictures. She looked inside a file called, "mygirlfriendMina." As she opened it, many pictures appeared on the screen that were all of Mina and Masaya. At first, she seemed content. But, at the bottom of the screen was an attachment. It read, "mygirlfriendIchigo." Mina's face dropped as she clicked on the file. Suddenly, the screen was flooded with new pictures. Pictures, that were not of herself. They were of another red-headed girl that Mina had never seen before.
Ichigo looked over Mina's shoulder at the pictures and saw that they were of herself and Masaya, and her in her cat-form. Mina looked more closely at the pictures. Mina finally recognized the girl. It was that Ichigo girl at school. As Mina looked at Ichigo's smile, she saw that it looked almost identical to her own smile when she was with Masaya. She was starting to see the truth in all of this.
She felt terrible. So many feelings were buzzing around in her mind. Being hurt, depressed, sad, lonely, and most important of all, betrayed.
Normally, Ichigo would be thrilled in this type of situation but, instead, she felt compassion for Mina. A small tear dropped on Mina's skirt. It seemed to shimmer with the sadness of the two girls.
Suddenly, Mina stood up and walked over to Masaya's dresser. She looked down at the pictures of herself and Masaya. Her whole body shuddered and her face over came with the deepest sorrow. The fresh tears on her face were lost as she wiped them away roughly. As she looked at the pictures again, anger over took her. She lifted her hand up and hit the pictures off of the dresser. There was a loud noise as the glass in the frames broke into thousands of shards. She slammed her hand down on the top of the dresser, turned around, and slid down the side slowly until she hit the floor. Her tears overwhelmed her and they fell like little crystals on the floor. She pounded on the floor with her fist, and then pulled her head up into her knees, in a fetal position for a minute or two.
Finally, she sat up and crawled over to the destroyed picture frames. She wiped her face and wiped the glass off of the pictures. She gasped as she cut her hand on the glass shards. More tears fell. She grabbed the picture from under the glass and held it in her hands. Both blood and tears dropped on the picture. It was of Masaya and Mina hugging. She grabbed the top and ripped the picture right in half.
She glanced back over to the glass and noticed another picture, face down, where the other picture had been. The picture had been hidden behind the picture of herself. Mina picked the picture out carefully and looked at it. Ichigo glanced over her shoulder. The picture was of Ichigo and Masaya kissing. The picture made Ichigo's heart jump for just a moment. Then, the thought came to her. How could she still love Masaya after he cheated on her? For the first time, Ichigo realized that she didn't love Masaya any more.
Mina stood up with fresh tears on her cheeks. She stomped the floor, hit the dresser, and kicked the dresser. Anything she could do to release her pent up anger. "It can't be true, it just can't be. I wish it was fake." She wiped away more tears and said aloud, "I'm going to go ask Masaya about this. It's probably just a misunderstanding." Her mouth's edges perked into a tiny grin. Then, she opened the door and stepped out the landing.
Mina stepped down the stairs. As it did before, the room blurred out and reappeared as the living room. Mint was standing up, looking toward the stairs, where Mina's voice was saying, "Um…'Saya? Are you coming back upstairs? You've been gone a long time." Mina walked down the stairs, looked around and as she spotted Mint, she stopped and said, "Who-who are you? And where's my 'Saya?" Mint didn't say anything for a minute so Mina asked again, "Who are you and where's my 'Saya?" Mint finally replied by saying, "I'm Mint, a friend of Masaya's. He is probably looking for a way to rescue his girlfriend Ichigo from Kish an alie- I mean, an ex-boyfriend. May I ask who you are?"
At first, Mina felt threatened by Mint. But, when she mentioned Ichigo, Mina became terribly sad again, facing the reality that Masaya had really been cheating on her. She walked down the rest of the stairs, over to the couch, and sat down. Mina was very hurt. She sighed, laid her head in hands, and whispered through them, "I'm Mina…Masaya's girlfriend." She then began to cry heavily. Mina began to shout through her heavy tears, "No! At first, I thought, 'It can't be true! Masaya wouldn't cheat on me!' But just now, I found all of the pictures of him and that Ichigo girl, even the hidden ones. He lied. He just lied straight to my face…" She couldn't say anything anymore. She felt as if she had a lead pipe in her throat and rocks in the bottom of her heart.
Mint was surprised. She said, "Your Masaya's…girlfriend?" Mina nodded her head and continued crying. Mint went over to her, sat down next to her and said, "I feel bad for you, really I do. But, think about how Ichigo will feel when she finds out." Mina thought a minute and said, "I guess your right. Ichigo's your friend, right?" Mint nodded and Mina continued.
"I think I would like to meet this Ichigo. She and I would have at least have one thing in common, right?" They both broke into identical smiles and Mint said, "I'm sure she would love to meet you."
Kish laid his hand on Ichigo's shoulder and said, "That's all I needed to show you. We're going back now so, close your eyes." She closed her eyes and felt a light breeze. After a second, Kish whispered said to her, "Open your eyes." As she did, she saw that they were back on "Dreumar Kospa."
Suddenly, there was a loud gonging noise. Kish's eyes got wide. He grabbed Ichigo's hand and said, "We've got to go now! It's already dusk. Come on!" She ran with him over to the small platform. Kish lifted his hands and shouted, "Dursca!" The tiny platform began to lower under the huge platform.
When they got to the ground, Kish said to Ichigo in a hurried tone, "Grab onto me quickly and hold on tight because I must fly fast. Don't let go." They lifted up into the air and just like that, they were gone.
