Woohoo, a sequel!! I have been wondering if i should make this or not, but
i couldn’t resist. So here is the sequel to Learn to Love again. This
story tells everything that happened in the aftermath. In other words, it
is just like the aftermath, only more descriptive. Enjoy!!

Ichigo couldn’t wait to tell her parents the news about her engagement to
Ryou. She still hadn’t forgotten the event that happened months ago, and
this was just another reminder of that day. The day her first love died.
Tears streamed down her face as the wind blew them away. The drive to her
old home would be a little bit longer, and with a convertible that had its
top down, breezier. She knew her parents didn’t know, because her dad had
gone to the hospital the day Masaya had died. Oh boy, more reminders, she
thought sarcastically. He just wouldn’t leave her mind. She was wondering
if accepting Ryou’s proposal had been a good idea......

Flashback

It was another romantic date with Ryou. She held the beautiful bouquet of
flowers close to her as Ryou drove her home. At her house, they stopped.

Ryou: well, here’s your stop
Ichigo: night
Ryou: hang on, i’ll walk you up there
Ichigo: thank you
Ryou: [gets out of the car] no problem [thinking] ok, don’t back out Ryou,
you can do this, just pray she says yes] umm...Ichigo, there’s something i
want to tell you.....[deep breath and gets down on knees and takes out a
little box] Ichigo [takes her hand] will you marry me?

Ichigo was shocked. This was exactly the same way Masaya had proposed to
her....it just hurt so much...she couldn’t do it...but then she looked
toward the sky and heard his voice saying learn to love again. She loved
Ryou and couldn’t deny it.

Ichigo: yes Ryou...i will marry you

End Flashback

Yes, the proposal was still clear in her mind. She looked at the ring on
her finger...it was a symbol of Ryou’s love for her. Backing out now was
not an option. She not only had gone too far to turn back, but also didn’t
want to turn back. Now instead of Miss Momomiya, she would be Mrs.
Shirogane. She kind of felt bad that she was going to see her mom and dad
to tell them, i bet Ryou would’ve loved to tell his parents.....but he
couldn’t. She couldn’t stop the tears, it was a mix of happiness and
sadness.
Ryou: Ichigo...whats wrong
Ichigo: well....this reminds me so much of Masaya.....i’m sorry
Ryou: don’t be, you couldn’t do anything about it and i’m sure everyone
misses him
Ichigo: but....Masaya...you
Ryou: believe it or not, i miss him to
Ichigo: you do......look, there’s my mom and dads house
Ryou: i can see your mom

Ryou's car strolled down there driveway and parked when Ichigo's mom came running out to greet her daughter.

Mrs. Momomiya [i'm just going to write mom, ok]: oh Ichigo, honey how was your wedding

Ichigo: well mom, the problem is that....

Mom: i am so sorry we weren't there, your father is fine now, so where is he

Ichigo: he's.....he's gone [trying to hold back the tears]

Mom: what, he left you for another girl?! IF i ever see him i'll...

Ichigo: no, i mean he's gone.......he died

Tears where now streaming donw Ichigo's face as her mother embraced her.

Mom: its ok Ichigo.....its ok

Ichigo: mom, [wiping away the tears] before he died, he told me to love again...and i am engaged..... [a little happiness in her voice] mom, meet Ryou Shirogane.......he was my boss when i was younger.....

How will Ichigo's mother react and what about Ichigo's father? Well, i hope you like it, cause if ya don't i will delete it. Just how i always work. Anyway, read and review, over and out.
