I've Moved On

Chapter 1

An Unexpected Change

Even though the Mew Mews had defeated the aliens, they still came back to bug them all the time. And poor Ichigo never seemed to have a moment alone. With Ryou bossing her around constantly and her constant need to study for school, she never had a free minute, and to make matters worse, Kish always seemed to pop up confessing his love to her. She refused everytime. Today was one of her few days that she had off, it was after school on a Friday. Masaya could not take her out on a date, and seemed to be ignoring her all day. Ichigo spent most of her day window shopping because the slim amount of money she was paid did not last. Just then she sees Masaya.

"Hey Masaya, over here," she calls out to him. He turns toward her and Ichigo sees a girl behind him.

They walk over and Masaya says, "Ichigo, I have something to tell you. I need to break up with you. I just seemed to connect more with Sana. I'm sorry."

Ichigo just ran away, tears streaming down her face. She could not believe what she just heard, how could Masaya dump her. She thought they were meant for each other. She was not looking where she was going and suddenly ran right into a tree. Her nose started bleeding which made her cry harder. Then she saw Ryou in front of her. He had obviously heard her sobs. He picked her up and carried her home, scolding her about being and idiot all the way. Ichigo did not hear him, she was too wrapped up in her own despair.

When they finally reached home. He dropped Ichigo on her front porch, literally, and walked away muttering that she was acting like an idiot. Ichigo slowly got up and walked inside. She went straight up to her room, not bothering to say hello to her parents. When she got there, she plopped down on her bad and cried herself to sleep.

The next morning, Ichigo ran full sprint to the Café. In all of her agony she had overslept, again. When she finally arrived three minutes late, Ryou was right there to scold her. As tears began to well up in Ichigo's eyes, she pointed at a girl in an orange waitressing uniform and said, "Who is she?"

"She is a new member of the team. Her name is Natto. Be nice to her," Ryou ordered, walking away to leave Ichigo stare at the new girl.

Natto walked over and introduced herself. She had short orange hair and had a bow tied around her thigh. Her eyes were a pretty hazelnut color, and she was very pretty. The waitressing outfit fit her nicely.

"Hi, I'm Ichigo."

"Hello Ichigo. My name is Natto."

"Um, what animal are you infused with?"

"The black swan. We should probably get to work. Ryou does not seem to be very patient with you."

"Oh, right."

Ichigo went to get changed in the other room. When she came back out, she had to do all the work as usual. She was looking forward to this day finally being over.

When the work had finally been finished, Ichigo ran out of the café before Ryou could give her any more work to do. On her way home she saw Natto talking with someone. She hid around the corner to see who it was, when she saw none other than Kish, and he was kissing her. Kish caught sight of Ichigo and said, "Oh hello Koneko. Well, I hate to tell you this, but I have found a new love. She likes me, no need to impress her." Kish just smiled at Ichigo and walked away holding Natto's hand. Ichigo just sank to the ground and cried.

When she finally made it home, she again went up to bed without a word to anyone. Her parents thought it strange that she was so sad, but they did not want to pry.

The next day Ichigo did not go to the café. She called her friends Miwa and Moe, to see if they wanted to go shopping with her. They replied that they could not, they had a double date. Ichigo sighed and laid back on her bed. She felt like no one loved her anymore.
