Ichigo No Saigo no Chansu to Retasu no Kenchona Supīchi 〜 Nya! 〜
Ichigo's last chance and Lettuce's remarkable speech! 〜 Nya! 〜
"I'm Momomiya Ichigo!" Ichigo said as she introduced herself. The two boys walked away. "Do they not like me Ritsuka?" Ichigo asked sadly. "It's ok, Ichigo. They'll warm up to you. Don't worry." Ritsuka said with a smile. Beep Beep! "Uh….Ritsuka-kun, Soubi-san… I have to go." Ichigo said as she tried to run out the door. "Huh?" Ichigo said while she was being stopped. "Why are you leaving so soon, Ichigo?" Soubi asked as he held her arm. "Uh…" Ichigo tried to say as she was interrupted by another beep. "What's that?" Ritsuka asked. "Is it your phone?" Soubi asked. "No it's not my phone." Ichigo said trying to get away. "You need to introduce yourself to Kio." Soubi said while smiling. "Kio?" Ichigo asked. "Uh…I'm Momomiya Ichigo! Got to go! Sorry!" Ichigo said in a rush.
"That was a close one!" Ichigo said to herself as she panted. Ichigo then burst through the Café doors. "Sorry I'm late! Ritsuka-kun and Soubi-san were keeping me back." Ichigo said. "Ichigo-san." Lettuce said. "Ichigo-OneeChan!" Pudding said in excitement. "What took you so long?" Mint said angrily while drinking tea. "Eh! Mint! I just told you! Weren't you listening? Of course not because your too busy drinking tea!" Ichigo screamed. "Ichigo. Ichigo. Calm down." Akasaka said calmly. "We need you to go and find Mew Aqua." Shirogane said. "Ichigo! Aliens!" Masha said. "Aliens? Does that mean there is a chimera anima?" Ichigo asked Masha. "Chimera anima! Chimera anima!" Masha repeated.
"I think we're here." Zakuro said. "Huh? Ritsuka?" Ichigo said as she squinted to see if it was him. "It is Ritsuka!" Ichigo shouted. "You don't want him to come over here do you?" Zakuro asked. "He'll just hold us back so the aliens can get the Mew Aqua." Mint said snobbishly. "Shut up Mint!" Ichigo screamed. "Huh? Was that Ichigo?" Ritsuka asked. "It was! Ichigo!" Ritsuka said happily. "Oh no!" Ichigo said as she panicked. "Wait up Ichigo!" Ritsuka shouted.
"Why…..Why is she running from me?" Ritsuka cried as he fell to the ground. "Ew! It's raining!" Mint complained. "Ichigo? Are you alright?" Zakuro asked. "I….I feel bad about leaving Ritsuka like that." Ichigo said sadly. "Huh?" Ichigo said surprisingly. "Ichigo-OneeChan! Your body is lighting up Na No Da! Pudding said with excitement. "Mew Aqua must be near!" Zakuro said. "Ichigo-san, come with us so we can find Mew Aqua." Lettuce said calmly. "…I…can't….I'm sorry!' Ichigo said running off. "Ichigo!" Zakuro said angrily. "I can't believe she did that!" Mint said. "Please…don't be angry at Ichigo-san…if you left someone you love and care for crying and sitting in the rain you would go back for them too. Even if the world depended on it. Please…Ichigo loves Ritsuka." Lettuce said sadly. "I wouldn't give up the world for just one person!" Mint said. "Lettuce is right, Mint." Zakuro said. "Zakuro-oneesama…" Mint said surprised.
"Ritsuka….Ritsuka? Are you here?" Ichigo said sadly as she walked slowly where Ritsuka used to be. "Of course…I'm so stupid. Why would he sit here in the rain waiting for me? I left him for Mew Aqua…." Ichigo said as she fell crying. Ichigo heard footsteps. "Huh?" Ichigo said as she looked up."Ritsuka! You…came back…" Ichigo said sadly. "Ichigo…Even though you left me….I…I still love you…" Ritsuka said as he sat next to Ichigo. "You…do?" Ichigo asked. "Yes…I do." Ritsuka said as he put his jacket over Ichigo. "This…jacket…its Soubi's…" Ichigo said. "Yea…Mine are too small to fit the both of us in it." Ritsuka said with a smile. "Ritsuka…I love to see you smile! Even when you're angry you smile! Please…keep smiling…it warms my heart you when you smile." Ichigo said in her mind as she smiled. "Um…Ichigo? Do you want to go back to my house? Cause we're soaked." Ritsuka said. "Oh! Sure!" Ichigo said excitedly. "Here take this." Ritsuka said as he handed Ichigo a towel. "Thanks." Ichigo said accepting the towel. "You're welcome." Ritsuka said happily.
"Kio…You should get to sleep." Soubi suggested. "Not now Sou-chan! I'm cleaning up the glass and beer! I could use some help!" Kio said. "Fine. I'll help." Soubi said as he walked away. "Sou-chan! You said you'd help you bastard!" Kio shouted. "Fine! I'm done anyways!" Kio said as he through the soaked towel in the sink.
As Ritsuka watched Ichigo sleep Soubi came in quietly. Ritsuka ears perked upward. "Soubi…" Ritsuka said as he turned around. "Ritsuka…I won't be here tomorrow." Soubi said sadly. "What? Where are you going? Let me come with you!" Ritsuka said. "You can't…I'm sorry." Soubi said as he put his hand on Ritsuka's face. "Why….Why not!" Ritsuka said as he was crying. "Don't cry…I'm going to go to Sevens Moon. To…See….Ritsu." Soubi said angrily. "Ritsu? Why Ritsu?" Ritsuka shouted in Soubi's coat. Soubi hugged Ritsuka. "I'm sorry Ritsuka…" Soubi whispered. "Ritsuka…look at me." Soubi said. Ritsuka looked up and stared in Soubi's blue eyes. "Soubi….you have beautiful blue eyes." Ritsuka commented. "Thank you, Ritsuka." Soubi said. "I should get going. It's late." Soubi said with a frown. "I love you Ritsuka." Soubi said softly and leaned over and gave Ritsuka a kiss. "I wish I could say the same to you Soubi but I love Ichigo. I'm sorry." Ritsuka said in his mind as he looked at Soubi sadly. "What's the matter Ritsuka?" Soubi asked. Ritsuka was silent. "You can't go with me." Soubi said as he read Ritsuka's violet eyes. Ritsuka's ears folded sideways. "Fine…You can go with me." Soubi said. Ritsuka's ears perked up again. "Really!" Ritsuka said excitedly. Ritsuka's ears flattened again. "What's wrong now?" Soubi asked. "What about Ichigo?" Ritsuka asked. Soubi's eyes squinted then shut. Soubi sighed. "Fine she can go. But…If she annoys Ritsu we have to take her back." Soubi said. "Get her ready in the morning." Soubi said. "Thank you Soubi." Ritsuka said. "You're welcome Ritsuka. I love you." Soubi said calmly as he slipped out of the window.
Ritsuka fell asleep
