Ryou: o.O is it her split personality day again?

Sakuya: (Ignores Ryou) Hope you enjoy this last chapter and thank you all for reading and reviewing :D

Review Time!

Sakuya: (Sniff Sniff) That's the last time I say review time…how sad! (Cries)

Ryou: u.u Dry up the tears. You can say it in your NEXT fanfiction!

Sakuya: OH YEAH! (Smiles like crazy)

JustWriter:

Haha…Oh I see. I haven't bothered to watch the anime because it's just….well stupid, because they changed all of their names. Anyways, o.O why would you think that Drew in pokemon would be in my story? Haha…well it would be seven but I counted the number 4 as one word. LOL XP I was going to write seven but I wrote eight instead :P Haha yes I would use the name you suggested except for the fact that Kish is not an alien in this story. Just a boy. :D hahah wow you really think that Japanese is my second language? No way. Hahah I live in Canada and I'm Asian, so my first language is English and my second language is Chinese :D Yes, I guess you're right. I should've put the two of them together, but I didn't think of that when I wrote it because I don't plan ahead. I just write them, so sorry about that :P

i-love-vash:

WOW you've read a million fanfics and this is your favourite? OMG I'm soooooooo touched :D THANKS :D (Gives you an award or something)

Dream-cloudstar:

u.U yes…you were DISTURBING ME! U.U yes people do probably think you're dead. XD I don't even kill Ryou two times every chapter! I do it like once every two chapters because I'm just so nice :D And don't worry, Ryou will survive because I'll make sure he does :D

IchigoGal:

Another funny review! Thank you:D hahah hope you get out of that coffin…and alive too! Not back from the dead! O.o and THAT RYOU! He is EVIL! Let's get him! (Holding pitchfork)

Ryou: o.O (Runs away)

IchigoGal: He's getting away!

Sakuya: (Evil grin) Don't worry, he can't get far. I implanted a tracking device on him. Muhahah! Ryou: o.O

Mangafan919:

Hahah It is the ending. Don't worry. I have no more ideas. :T or else this fanfiction would be longer. But oh well. I gotta think of a new idea for a new fanfiction with Ryou/Ichigo.

ChristianGal:

Mew Katherine:

Aku-san:

Yay! You're getting close! O.o that person is going to be in for it. Sure glad it wasn't me :D

Sakuya: Time for chappie :3

Chapter 12 – The End

She broke off into a run when she saw someone there that she recognized. It was Kish.

"Kish? Is that you?" Ichigo asked. She was almost afraid that it wasn't.

"Yeah, it's me." Kish answered.

"So…..so…." Ichigo could not bring herself to ask the question.

"Yeah, it was me who gave you those presents." Kish answered the unsaid question.

"Oh….." There was another weird silence. "So why did you give me an empty box and ask me to come here?" Ichigo asked.

"Um well…" Kish pointed to the box. "That heart represents my heart right now." Kish looked like he blushed a little.

"Nani? What do you mean?"

"My heart is empty right now. And I want it to be whole….." He trailed off. Then he started after awhile again. "… and the only way it can be whole again, is if I'm with you…."

Ichigo was speechless and could not utter out any word at all. Her mind was jumbled up.

"The truth is, Ichigo, I miss you and I never did want to break up with you. I just got mad. This past week has been hell without you and I can't take it any longer. I really wish that you'll always be by my side."

"Um….." Ichigo was still tongue tied and could not say a word.

"It's okay if you don't feel the same way…I just thought that….never mind." Kish looked disappointed. "Um...I'll just go now. Bye Ichigo." He started to walk away.

Finally Ichigo said something. "NO! DON'T!" Ichigo pulled him back. Maybe a little too hard because now he was right in front of him. "Um…don't go. I….missed you too."

"Are you sure? You don't have to say it to make me feel better." Kish was uncertain.

"Yeah I'm positive. I missed you too and yeah, I didn't want to break up either."

"Aww…my strawberry girl." Kish pulled Ichigo in for a hug. Ichigo was shocked at first but then relaxed. She forgot how comfortable it was to have her head on Kish's shoulder and how Kish smelt so good. It feels like we can be together forever…Ichigo thought.

Ichigo pulled back and asked a question that she had been wondering for ages. "So what were you doing with those two girls at the mall?"

"Well…those two are my friends and I was asking them if they knew any girl that was right for Ryou."

"Oh…I shouldn't have assumed then. Gomen." Ichigo apologized and gave him another hug.

"If this is what it takes to make you hug me, I should've done this awhile ago." Kish kidded.

"What? Hmph." Ichigo pushed him away.

"Awww Ichigo…I didn't mean it. I'm sorry." Kish, seeing that this didn't work, leaned over and pretended to be hurt. "Ow…..omg that hurt." He was kneeling and looked like he was in pain.

"Omg, Kish! Are you alright?" Ichigo rushed over to him to see if he was ok. Once Ichigo was next to him, Kish grabbed her and pulled her into a standing position. He leaned in and kissed her.

Ichigo pulled away, and said, "Omg…you tricked me! Kish!"

"Well…what a better way to do it than to see you concerned for me?" Ichigo simply smiled in return and kissed him back.

A week later at the library…

Kish and Ichigo were in the library studying for their exams. They had been studying for almost the whole week, ever since the time that they got back together. The couple was now inseparable.

"Geez…how can those two be laughing and studying at the same time?" said Ryou while watching the two giggle and study.

"Oooh…are you jealous Ryou?" Masaya asked.

"I want to go over there and see what's so funny." Ryou said standing up.

"Come on Ryou. Leave them alone. They just got back together." Keiichiro said without looking up from his textbook.

"But I haven't talked to Kish for so long! I wish I didn't help him get that present on her bed that day."

"Aw…c'mon you don't mean that. You wanted to help him as much as I did." Keiichiro replied.

Masaya pouted, "How come I didn't know about the plan?"

Ryou ignored him and said, "What did you do Keiichiro? How come I didn't know about it?"

"I told him to give her the empty heart box." Keiichiro still had not looked up from the book.

"Oooh…clever." Ryou replied.

"Now shut up and start studying or else you'll fail." Keiichiro said while flipping a page.

Ryou sighed and said, "If only I could have a girlfriend to make all this studying easier."

10 days later…

Exams were over and everybody was excited to get out of school. Everybody except for Ichigo…or so she thought.

Ichigo sighed and put her clothes in the bag. She was packing up her stuff ready to go home for the summer. I wonder what will happen with Kish and me over the summer. I put myself to study really hard and just spend as much time as I could with him but this dreaded day has come. Ichigo sighed again and said to herself, "I'll understand if he breaks up with me today or sometime soon…or I'll try to." Ichigo soon finished packing and heading downstairs for the end of the year party. When she got there, it was a sea full of boys. She tried to look for green hair among the brown, black and blonde but couldn't find Kish.

"Hey Strawberry!" called out someone in the crowd. Ichigo turned around and saw her boyfriend.

"Oh um hi Kish." Stammered Ichigo for she was still thinking that Kish would break up with her today.

"Hey, look the guys are over there." Kish pointed to Ryou, Masaya, Keiichiro and his usual gang of friends. "Let's go." Kish didn't even wait for an answer and walked towards them.

Wow, he's playing it just right. He didn't even wait for me to answer. But Ichigo didn't say anything and just followed him. When Ichigo got there, Kish was already deep in a conversation with his friends and she didn't understand what they were talking about so she left to find the snacks table. Might as well just eat if I have nothing to do… (A/N: XD that's what I do when I'm bored) She plopped down on a chair near the snacks but she wasn't in the mood to eat. After awhile of just staring at the guys having fun, she decided to leave. No point in staying here doing nothing. Ichigo thought. She started to head towards the door when someone pulled her back.

"Where are you going Ichigo?" Kish asked.

"Oh um…I was going to…" Ichigo stumbled but when she saw Kish's face she could not leave just yet. She would miss him too much so she simply said, "…to the washroom."

Kish was a little suspicious. "With your bags?" he asked while pointing at the bags that Ichigo was holding.

"Um…oops gomen."

"Here let me take them and put them with mine okay? Hurry back." He reached for Ichigo's bags and took them.

"Oh arigatou." Ichigo said and looked up to see a smiling Kish. Oh geez…he's so cute. I wish we never broke up for so long. I'm going to miss him so much during the summer….and when he breaks up with me….She thought as she headed to the bathroom.

When she got there, she didn't need to "go" (A/N: XD) and there was no one in the stalls so she just stood in front of the mirror and started talking to herself, (A/N: XD I do that sometimes) "Get ahold of yourself Ichigo. Even if he does go out with someone else, you could always go out with someone else too. Like Ryou! He's cute…" But you like Kish. Her conscience said. "Yeah but I could get over him and start liking Ryou." But it would break your heart if you saw him with someone else…her conscience argued. "Hm…well that's true. OMG I'M TALKING TO MYSELF.I gotta get out of here."

Ichigo walked back outside where the party was and immediately spotted Kish…with two other girls! Wow…he's started already. I must've been crazy to think that we could actually be together forever…All these depressing thoughts must've finally got to her because she started to feel tears in her eyes. She didn't want anyone to see her cry so she ran as far as possible. Finally, when she was sure no one was coming; she just let the tears out and cried. Baka! Baka! Baka! I'm such a baka for thinking that we would stay together forever.

"Ichigo?" someone said. It was Kish.

When Ichigo saw it was him, she tried to cover it. "Please go away Kish. I'm…not feeling good. Please leave me alone." But she could not hide it from Kish.

Kish walked towards Ichigo's back (A/N: She turned around when she saw Kish coming) and asked, "Why are you crying? Did someone say something to you? I'll beat the lights out of them if they did."

"It's…it's nothing. I'm fine." Ichigo tried to smile but could not manage it because she could not even look at Kish's face anymore for she knew that if she did, she would get stabbed in the heart again.

Kish turned Ichigo around and said, "Look whatever is bothering you. Please just say it. It's the last day and I don't want to end it like this."

Ichigo could not stand it any longer. She blurted it out, "You're going to break up with me and go out with one of those two girls aren't you?" Oh crap…I really need to think before I say.

"What two girls? And why would I break up with you?" Kish looked very confused.

Ichigo sniffed and stopped crying momentarily. "Those girls that was with you at the party just right now."

"Who? OH! You must mean Lettuce and Mint. That's the two girls that I was at the mall with, remember? I'm trying to set one of them with Ryou. Didn't I tell you that?"

"No…"

"Oops sorry. Is that all that was bothering you? Oh wait…what did you mean when you said I'm going to break up with you?"

Ichigo was speechless but she knew that Kish would wait for her to answer and until then, he would not say anything. "I thought that you would break up with me because you might want to go out with someone else….." Ichigo blushed when she said this part.

"Why would I do that?"

"I thought…you didn't like me anymore…or…you grew tired of me or something."

Kish walked up to Ichigo and softly stroked her cheek. "Aw…my strawberry. The thing is…I would never do that or I should say that I can't…because…" he hesitated. "…because I'm in love with you."

Ichigo blushed at this and she managed to utter out the three simple words too. "I…I love you too."

When Kish heard this, he leaned in to give Ichigo one very passionate kiss. When he pulled back, he said, "I want to see you over the summer as many times as possible."

"Yeah I want to too. Now shut up." Ichigo pretended to snap and kissed him.

July…

Hey Ichigo.

It's your lover, Kish! Anyways, so update with Ryou. I FINALLY got him and Lettuce together! They're dating and it seems like they really like each other. And I'm almost positive that Lettuce doesn't only like Ryou for his money, so no worries there.

Anyways, most importantly, I need to see you! When we were at the beach a week ago, I had the greatest time of my life! But I was saddened by the thought that you would have to leave and I would have to wait to see you again. I need to think of more activities for us to do so that you can come and see me. I miss you so much. I can't stop thinking about you. I even had a dream about you! You know that I can't survive without you! Well…Ryou just called so I'll have to end this letter.

Please write back soon. I will be waiting.

Yours Truly,

Kish

To Kish,

I'm so glad that I saw you a couple of days ago at the Amusement Park with Ryou and Lettuce. I had a great time because it was a double date but especially because I got to spend more time with you! I agree with you. Lettuce does look like she really likes him. Good job Cupid. :P

Yes yes I miss you too. You really do need to think of more activities. I am bored out of my mind at home and I want to see you again. I can't believe I'm writing this (or saying this either way.) I want to go back to school. LOL I'm daydreaming about what it would be like if I was your dorm mate next year. I can already imagine you having dirty thoughts about it. XD There's still two more months until I can see you already. Until then, I'll see you once in awhile :D

Loving and missing you,

Ichigo.
