This is my first TMM fic so please go easy on me. Actually, scrap that. Don't go easy on me, leave me a review and tell me how to improve and stuff. It would really help.

"Alright class," Ms. Emi began. "I know it's been hard, especially since this is a very embarrassing topic but there's nothing to be ashamed of. You've finally reached the 3rd week of your Sex Education course and I believe you're all doing well so far, agreed?"

The class nodded shyly and very few muttered some words.

Ms. Emi smiled and started her lesson.

"Now, as you can see on this diagram here. This is the man…"

Ichigo sighed and sunk low into her seat. This had got to be the most embarrassing and disturbing month ever. There were many essays based on this topic all month, which meant she hardly had anytime to spend with Masaya. Of course, they could've helped each other but her Dad forbid him from helping or going anywhere near Ichigo that month all because of what the essays were based on. He didn't want his daughter being tempted to try anything funny with the boy. As if! Not only that but whenever she did have the time to go out she had to go to the Café and work all day until late at night.

Life was so unfair!

"Masaya!" Ichigo heard a voice that snapped her back into reality. Ichigo turned to Masaya, who was only a few seats away from her. She watched as Ms. Emi ordered Masaya to stand up. She had caught him daydreaming. Ms. Emi asked him to describe what happens when a man and a woman have sexual intercourse.

Ichigo smiled at him. Masaya didn't see her smile since he was staring into space in Ms. Emi's direction. Ichigo thought of how cute he was, yet there was something so different about him. At first she thought it was due to the fact that she hadn't seen him in a long time, but it wasn't. He looked…funny. He had a faint blush on his cheeks and his breathing seemed to be deep. He didn't look like the Masaya she knew, his eyes were more sharp and focused. Almost like he was more mature in a way…

"The penis goes into the vagina, then after a few… 'minutes', the man releases his seeds and it goes t-" Ms. Emi told him he was right and that he should sit down.

Masaya sat down without making a sound, his eyes hardly moved after they landed back onto his desk. Yep, something had changed about him, Ichigo just couldn't put her finger on it. She shrugged and turned back to the teacher.

Ms. Emi then explained about how sex is usually between two people that care for each other, how people take advantage with rapes, self pleasure etc.

As the teacher explained, Ichigo felt a pair of eyes on her. She tried her best to ignore them. After a while, Ms. Emi looked at the clock. "Everyone get packing, the bells about to go soon." Everyone obeyed and starting packing, when the bell rang half of the class was already out.

Ichigo walked through the busy hallways of the school looking for Masaya until Moe

popped up.
"Hey Ichigo!" She screamed out from behind. Ichigo turned to smile at her,
"Oh, hey." Moe scratched the back of her head and stared at Ichigo, something wasn't right.

"Ichigo, what's wrong?"

"Have you seen Masaya anywhere?" Ichigo asked, ignoring the question and looking around.

"Oh," Moe sighed. "He's been acting weird lately; didn't you see the way he was in class today? It was so… 'Freaky'." Ichigo sighed and continued walking through the hallways, her head turning at almost every angle. "But anyway, I think you're most likely to find him in the library. People say he spends most of his time there now, always on the computer. If it's not the library computer then it's his fighting lessons…"

Ichigo gave Moe thumbs up and ran to the library. "Hey! Wait up!" Moe yelled as she chased after Ichigo.

--

Ichigo took a deep breath as she entered the library, she had heard no footsteps behind her so it was obvious she had lost Moe. Ichigo looked around, she couldn't find him anywhere. Just as she turned and headed for the door she bumped into someone's chest, Ichigo took a step back and rubbed her forehead. "Sorry," She said as looked up.

"Masaya!" She squealed as she saw his face. Ichigo hugged him and for the first time… Masaya didn't hug back. Ichigo let go when she noticed this, then looked up at him. He gave her an uneasy smile.

"H-Hey," He managed to say. Ichigo smiled and put up a peace sign.

"I was looking for you everywhere! You wouldn't believe how hard it was…"

Ichigo started.

"Ichigo…" Masaya almost whispered.

"Huh?" Ichigo looked at him. He was hard to read at this point.

"I'd love to stay and chat but…" He sighed. "I've got… stuff to do."

Ichigo just glared at him. She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out.

Ichigo reached out to touch his arm but he backed away. He looked down to the ground.

"I've seriously got stuff to do, I haven't the time. Can't we… do this another time?"

He said with a slight hint of annoyance in his tone of voice. He stared at Ichigo for a while before finally turning around and slowly walking out of the library.

Ichigo watched after him. When he was finally out of sight she sighed and walked out of the library too.

At Café Mew, Minto sat at her usual spot and had her tea. She watched Ichigo as she went back and fourth across the room mopping the floor. She noticed there was an unhappy vibe coming from her and she had to admit, when Ichigo was sad it annoyed her

Because she knew it always had something to do with Masaya, but she asked anyway.

"Ichigo, what's wrong with that Masaya guy this time? And please don't bother trying to cry on my shoulder and keep your story short and simple. I'm not your teddy bear or tissue; I just want you to let it out and stop acting like a blood mopping zombie. I've been watching your act; it's absolutely atrocious and the most annoying sight to me of date."

Ichigo sighed, "Well," She began. "Masaya has been acting weird of late. We haven't been with each other since the beginning of the month and so today I thought I would talk to him. So when I met him, he acted all weird around me and just blew me off telling me he was busy. Before I could say anything he walked out on me."

Minto chuckled. "And what part of 'busy' don't you understand?"

Ichigo rolled her eyes, dropped the mop and sat down at a table a few steps away from Minto's. "Well, of course I know what 'busy' means but Masaya doesn't need to act so, so… 'Weird' around me. I wonder why he's so busy anyway. Before I was always the one to be busy and he was always the one to wait… And now he's the one who's busy and it's totally freaking me out."

Minto slapped her forehead. Ichigo looked at her. "Did it ever cross your mind that maybe that's the reason why he has been avoiding you?"

"Huh?" Ichigo was lost.

"Well, maybe the poor boy's tired of all this cat and mouse and for once maybe he wants to be the one being chased… Maybe he just wants to feel wanted."

Ichigo shook her head. "That's kind of a selfish act don't you think? Masaya isn't like that."

"But then again," Minto argued. "Everyone has their own little needs. He must be too nice and giving, for once, maybe he wants to receive. Ever thought about that?"

Ichigo shook her head. "Na uh. Maybe you're right. So, do you think I should pay more attention to him?"

"Well what the hell do you think?"

Ichigo smiled and gave Minto a big hug. When finally released, Minto shrieked and tried to straighten out her creased uniform while muttering some words. "And after all this time, just when I thought you had changed. But no, your still just one annoying and vulgar girl."

Ichigo's pupils went small and nearly popped out of its sockets when she heard Minto insult her. "V-V-Vulgar?!"

Minto looked up, away from Ichigo's direction and began walking away. "You'd better get back to work." She said as she walked off. "I don't think Ryou would like to see you lazing around on the job…" Minto stopped at the door and grinned. "And while you're at it, please clear up my tea table. Just to show thanks for my brilliant assistance."

And with that Minto walked off.

Ichigo grew angry and swung her arms about. "Are you trying to say that I'm lazy?! Ugh, I'm not the one who just comes to drink tea and walks off like I'm sort of queen that doesn't have to do any work just because she's a rich stuck up snob!"

"Ichigo," Ichigo heard Ryou's voice behind her just about ready to start complaining about her lack of 'work'.

Ichigo screamed before he could even start, she grabbed the mob and began mopping like crazy. "I'm working! I'm working! Geez!"

"Uhh, Okay." Ryou shrugged and walked off with his hands in his pockets.

It was a new day and it was after school, the last lesson was of course the 'Sex Education' class. Ichigo walked around the school compound until she came to a place that was crowded with so many girls. Ichigo sighed as she came up close and began to push past the crowd until she saw him. Masaya. There he was, fighting his next opponent.

After the match, his opponent walked off the mat and drank his water as Masaya just stood still and looked at all the girls that came just to see him.

Ichigo watched as he eyed the crowd, there was something different about the way he did so. Usually he would just do a quick scan until he found Ichigo, and then his eyes would stay fixed on her. But now, it was completely different. His eyes took a second glance at nearly half the girls that were there. Soon his eyes met hers. Masaya took a deep breath and stared at her for a long time. Ichigo waved. He froze, gave her a half smile then looked away quickly.

Masaya, I wonder what's gone on with you lately. I really do… Ichigo thought.

Soon the crowd began to die and Masaya was leaving the building.

Ichigo followed after him.

"Hey Masaya!" She gave a light giggle and tapped him on the shoulder from behind.

"I watched you practise today. You were great."

She waited for his respond but there was none. So she continued.

"Anyway," She sighed. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry if I've done anything wrong to you. I promise to give you more attention if that's what you-"

"Don't you understand?!" Masaya sharply cut her off. Ichigo frowned.

"I'm busy. I have no time. Just…" Masaya turned around to look at Ichigo. She was sad, it hurt him but he ignored it. "Go. Just go. Go and leave me be. I'm far too busy to see you." He grabbed hold of Ichigo's wrists. His grip was tight; he never used to grip this hard before…

He looked at Ichigo as she tried hard to hold her tears back, what had gotten into him? "You've come across me two times and already you're becoming a nuisance."

Masaya took a deep breath. "I'm sorry Ichigo; I'm just really busy okay? Try to understand." He explained. His grip got even tighter. Ichigo screamed and snatched her hands away from him. "Get away from me!" She screamed as her tears jumped out.

She pushed Masaya causing him to stumble back before turning and running. Running hard and as fast as she could. She didn't know where her legs were taking her, but one thing was for sure…

They were taking her away from Masaya…

Well, that's the first chapter. Does anyone have a clue why Masaya is acting this way? Please review and tell me what you think, liked and disliked. I need at least FIVE reviews for the first chapter before I continue. And I do not accept lousy reviews like 'This is cool. Update.', because honestly…It sucks.

Anyway, thanks for reading. Remember to review.
