Ichigo was sitting in her classroom, staring outside the window; watching the rain descend down on the cement sidewalk. Oh, how Ichigo loved the rain she could watch the little drops of water fall to the ground for hours, and not get bored, but thunderstorms on the other hand, she was terrified of them. It brought back bad memories for her. She closed her eyes imagining what it would feel to be a raindrop, so free and light. But her day dreaming was cut short by a stern voice.

"Ichigo!" yelled the frustrated teacher. " This is the fifth time this morning that you dozed off into your little dream world! A visit to the principal's office should do you good!" A hand stretched out towards the door.

Ichigo finally snapped her head up and replied;

"Y-yes, sorry, it won't happen again I promise!" the flustered girl stuttered. I can't believe I fell asleep again! Well, its not entirely my fault, it's Ryou's! If he hadn't made me work an extra shift at the Café last night this wouldn't have happened! Ugh! The crimson-haired girl thought as she slowly walked down the hall to the door labeled "Principal".

She took a deep breath and pushed it open.

"Uhm, hi?" she asked uncertainly looking around the large office. There were chairs lined up beside the large chestnut coloured desk that took up most of the room, paintings of past principals filled up the maroon walls, the floor was hardwood with an occasional rug here and there.. So pretty much a typical office.

"Well, I guess nobody's here!" she exclaimed loudly. Ichigo quickly turned on her heel and started going for the door. Just as she was about to turn the brass knob she heard somebody clear their throat behind her, she turned around and saw the principal's secretary looking at her with a strange glint in her eye. Just my luck.Ichigo thought sadly.

"You wanted something?" she asked the girl.

"Yes! I mean no… I mean..uhh.. I need to talk to the p-principal." she stammered grabbing onto a lock of her hair and twisting it around her finger.

"Okay," she replied with a smile "right this way." The secretary gestured to the door on the right.

Ichigo took a deep breath and walked in.

"Hi!" she greeted the woman that was sitting hunched over at the desk looking at papers. The principal looked up and took off her glasses. "Hello miss, how can I help you?" she said while pointing to a chair for Ichigo to sit down in.

"My teacher sent me to you for bad behaviour... I guess." she replied while looking down at her brown shoes.

"You guess?" the principal repeated.

"Well, you see I sorta, maybe, accidentally fell asleep during class, but it was a total accident I swear!" she started " I mean I didn't even technically sleep I just was sorta resting my eye lids for a couple of minutes." She said with a slight smile.

"And why did this happen?" the woman asked, looking back at her papers.

"Well its because my boss ,Ryou, is making me work extra shifts at Café Mew Mew so I barely get any sleep at night, and being a Mew Me-" Ichigo suddenly slapped a hand over her mouth, a panicked look spread over her face.

"You're a what, dear?"

"I said I was a new…uhh….new new! See its this term that we kids use it means uh… a very smart person yeah that's it!" she stuttered. "Well, I have to go it was great t-talking you!" Ichigo said while laughing.

"Hold up young lad-"

"Bye!" Ichigo called as she slammed the door and ran out in the hallway. Dammit, Ichigo! Why do you have be such a blabbermouth! You almost exposed the secret! Ugh!Ichigo hit her head against the wall. The red head finally stood up and brushed herself off, she slowly made her way back to her class, she looked calm but on the inside she was screaming in frustration.

****

The last period came and went quickly and soon it was "Home Time" as the students liked to call it. Ichigo walked down the school steps to the front door; she looked outside and realized that it was still raining, harder than before. She took off her backpack and plunged her hand in; looking for her Strawberry umbrella. "Ahah!" she exclaimed as she found the handle. Ichigo quickly opened it and stepped outside in the pouring rain.

"Wow, great weather!" she mumbled under her breath. Suddenly her cell phone started ringing with the ring tone "Since U Been Gone". Ichigo put down her bag and started digging through it to find her red cell. I so have to get organized! she thought as she finally located it, she looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an Unknown Number so she didn't answer it. She got up with her bag on one shoulder but before she could move she felt someone bump against her.

"Oh, sorry!" she exclaimed as she turned around to see who it was, to her horror it was Masaya.

"Masaya!" she yelled.

"Huh?" the confused boy looked around but when his eyes finally landed on Ichigo he let out a chuckle. "Why hello Ichigo." He said calmly, too calmly.

"You're a monster you know that!" she screamed out " you cheated on me with some random girl at school, you don't even know her!!!" tears started building up in the corner of her eyes. "You broke my heart!" she added softly.

"You weren't good enough for me, I'm a straight A student, I've won many awards,and I'm planning to become the world's youngest doctor." He said proudly "But you Ichigo, you're nothing."

Ichigo fell to her knees crying. How could he say something like that! He knew it wasn't true! She wasn't nothing, was she? Ichigo felt as if she was crying for hours but only a couple of minutes had past. Eventually she looked up with her tear stained eyes and saw that Masaya was pinned to a tree with Kisshu holding his Dragon Blades to the black haired boy's neck.

"Kisshu?" Ichigo whimpered softly. The alien heard this and rushed forward to catch her in his arms; dropping Masaya in the process.

"I'm here Kitten, it's alright." he said softly to her, petting her wet red hair.

She clung to his shirt for a second before she completely blacked out.
