I lay in darkness sprawled out in the chair. It was completely quite. A sound from outside the door had woken me up. I figured it was just one of the nurses. I opened my eyes very slowly to peak around the room. Then all of a sudden a shadow covered the light coming from under the door. It creaked open and a girl around my age walked in. She had red hair a little shorter then shoulder length and deep brown eyes. She wore a white tank top and a white mini skirt with a bell necklace, it seemed more like a cat collar. I cast my eyes up to look at the girl. She walked even closer.

"Are you….Ryou?" She asked meekly.

"Who?" I asked sitting up. I had never heard that name before. I sighed sitting up.

"I'm sorry. You go by Mei here don't you.?" Her words confused me once more.

"My name is Mei."I informed her. She sure was confussing. Suddenly the girl engulfed me in a huge hug. What the hell was going on.?

"It's been so long! I'm soooo happy to see you!" The girl held an instant smile.

"Huh?" Was all I could manage. I had never seen this girl in my whole life.

"It's me Ichigo! Don't you remember?" Her voice dropped and held a hint of sadness but her smile didn't fade as she released me. I stared up at the girl again. "Don't you remember? I told you I would always be there for you. Now I'm back.!"

"But…your not real!"I burst out. I couldn't controlthe anger that was welling up inside my chest. I flung my arms up and began to kick in a desperate attempt to rid my imagination of what it was seeing. "You're not real, so just go away!"

"I am real though."Ichigo said still smiling. She was very intent on defying all that those stupid people had drilled into my mind. The one fact I had just recently started believing. Maybe I was crazy.

"They said I just made you up! All of them! They said I was crazy! Do you know what that's like!" then my voice dropped. "Then you left and now...now your back."

"They needed me."Ichigo looked over at the clock. She seemed to grow even more impatient as the minutes passed. I looked over to read the time. Only one in the morning. My face formed a vision of surprise. Who the heck would be awake at one in the morning.! "We have to go. We have to hurry."

"Go?"

"Go to heaven. There's so many more people you have to meet.!"Ichigo jumped up in the air. Obviously happy that she had found me. "Your gonna love it Ryou.!"

"My names not Ryou.!" I protested. "My name is Mei. M. E. I. Mei.!"

"Sorry Mei." She giggled. I still did not remember her though. She rushed out the door dragging me along. I pulled and tugged trying to free myself from her grasp. It didn't work. She approached a window and suddenly a flash of white light and we where gone.
