The Truth About Kish

CHAPTER ONE: One Simple Day

'Don't worry, Ichigo. I understand.'

Ichigo lay in her bed, thinking about the words that were said to her by Masaya. She remembered that she has just told him about her encounter with that alien, Kish, a long time ago.

'Thank you, Masaya.'

She sighed silently as she pulled the covers up a little more. It was getting chillier each day in this Winter.

'I hope Kisshu-' She broke off her own thoughts. 'Stop thinking about Kish, Ichigo! You're with Masaya now!'

"That's right, I am..." She got up and went to the computer, not being able to sleep anymore. She opened a new e-mail file and began to write to Masaya.

Dear Masaya,

I couldn't sleep tonight. I was thinking of how much I love you, and how much I miss you. I hope your trip to Paris is going well.

She stopped for a moment, yawned, and began her e-mail again.

Well, I really hope that you are enjoying all the sights and beautiful things in Paris, and I can't wait until you come back.

Love,

Ichigo Momomiya

Ichigo pressed the send button and stood up from her computer chair and stretched, yawning again.

"NYA! It's 12:01 in the morning!" She crashed to the floor, making a large sound. She quickly got up, turned off the computer, and went to bed, embarassed of the gigantic noise she made at night.

THE NEXT MORNING

"Huh, what?" Ichigo awoke with a dash. It was 8:07 in the morning. It was a Saturday. She groaned.

"Why this early?" she said to herself and she crashed back into bed, pulling the covers all the way over her head.

- L - A - T - E - R -

Again, Ichigo jolted straight up, sitting on her bed. It was now 9:28 AM. She remembered about the time when she was going to see Masaya at the park, but that greasy haired alien flew down and kissed her, all so suddenly. Then she remembered the worried look on Masaya's face, and remembered the apology she had told him from keeping that secret from him. When she got up, she remembered how much she loved Masaya, and her ears pricked up and her tail stuck out.

"Eek! I need to get used to this happening to me." She grumbled to herself after her high-pitched shriek. Silently but sleepily, she got up and went downstairs in her pink strawberry pajamas. Ichigo was greeted by smells of fresh coffee, grilled cheese sandwiches, eggs, bacon, toast, and the smell of smoke, ingredients cooking on the stove by her mother.

"Good morning, sweetie. There's some eggs and orange juice on the table for you. And I also know how much you love strawberries, so I added some on the side."

"Oh, thank you Mom. It smells delicious!" Ichigo sat down across from her father and started eating greedily. When she finished drinking her orange juice, she quickly wiped her mouth with a napkin, said her thanks and good-byes to her parents, and rushed upstairs to get ready to go to for a small walk, to get some fresh air. She put on her warm clothes, since it was chilly outside, and ran out the door and to the park, where she can quietly stroll around, covered by trees so Kisshu wouldn't see her.

When she got to the park, of course, the place wasn't crowded at all. She loved hearing all the birds chirping, it was peace and quiet.

Until-

"Well, well, Kitty Cat. You've returned to me again." The mysterious voice sounded through the trees. Ichigo, not being able to see anybody, looked all around her.

"Who's there?" her panicked voice said.

"Until we meet again, Kitty." A figure with amber eyes flew down and kissed her on the lips. She pulled away, being able to see who the mysterious kisser was.

"Kisshu!" Ichigo snarled, suddenly full of anger.

"Oh, you guessed right, my little Kitty Cat. How did you know?" Kish chuckled lightly and disappeared as Ichigo covered her mouth with her hands in disguist.

'Why did he do that again?' She started to sob lightly. Her relationship with Masaya might actually be over.
