This takes place after the Mews defeated the aliens. Sometimes the aliens attack Earth because they're bored, but no other reason.

Parallel Universe

Ichigo woke up to the annoying beep of her alarm clock, and quickly jumped out of her bed. She put on a pink T-shirt with a giant strawberry on it, and ended right above her belly button. She wore a denim mini skirt with strawberries lining the bottom. When she was done getting ready, she went full sprint to Café Mew Mew.

Just as she was nearing her work, she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist. It was obvious who they belonged to. "Kish, let me go!" she exclaimed, trying to pry his hands off of her without success. Kish was much stronger than her, and she couldn't move a muscle. "Only when I get what I came here for, Koneko," Kish replied, smirking.

Ichigo tried to turn around to ask him what he meant, but he answered her with out words. He pulled her into a tight embrace and kissed her square on the lips, turning her around so she's facing him. She had every intention of pulling away, she really did. But the second she saw his twin golden orbs, and his lips met hers, she couldn't help but kiss him back.

When they reluctantly broke apart for air, Kish looked at her with confusion, but licked his lips. "Thanks, Koneko. We should do this again some time." Ichigo's face reflected her hair. Before she could say or do anything, Kish disappeared. Our red haired heroine shook her head before running the rest of the way to the café.

When she walked in, Ryou said, "It's only Wednesday, and you've been late three days this week!" Ichigo glared at him. "WELL, AN ALIEN JUST STOPPED ME, AND I HAVE THIS DAY OFF OF SCHOOL! I SHOULDN'T EVEN HAVE TO WORK TODAY IN THE FIRST PLACE!"

When she was dressed in her café uniform, she got to work. When the Café finally started emptying a few hours later, she took a break at a customer table, resting her head against a broom she had been using. Her mind wondered to this morning's event.

Kish is so cute… NO! What am I thinking! I like Masaya! Still, Kish is obviously more dedicated to me. Masaya doesn't tell me he loves me, or treat me special, or have super cool teleporting powers- WAIT! I'M DOING IT AGAIN!

Masaya's never even kissed you before. Kish is a good kisser AND he loves you. Kish is much more exciting anyways… said a nagging voice in the back of her mind. "NO!" Ichigo screamed aloud, earning a few weird looks from the five customers left. She didn't even notice.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On her way home, Kish teleported in front of her and grabbed onto her arms. "Kish! Let me go!" she screamed, her eyes betraying her. Kish's smirk was replaced with pure confusion. "Has my kitten started to like me back?" he asked, hope in his eyes. "N-no! You wish!" Even she heard how fake her voice sounded. He pulled her into a tight embrace and was beyond surprised when she didn't try to pull away.

Then Ichigo spotted Masaya at a nearby park bench- kissing a girl. A girl that wasn't her. He had never kissed her, and here he was, kissing some other person. She burst into tears, and cuddled up closer to Kish for support. "Koneko, what's wrong?" he asked, concern spilling into his voice.

"M-Masaya- he's c-cheating on me!" she wailed. Kish turned his head just enough to see Masaya at the park, talking with a girl- and then kissing her. He wanted to pound Masaya's face out, but realized Ichigo needs him more. "K-Kish- h-h-how cou- sob- could he!" she sobbed.

"Kitten, he doesn't deserve your tears. I would never do that to you if I ever was lucky enough to have had the chance to be with someone as pretty and kind as you, Koneko," he said. "Why are you so nice to me, Kish?" asked Ichigo, looking at his twin pools of gold. "You know why, don't you? I love you, Ichigo," he whispered into her ear, slightly blushing. Ichigo wasn't much better. Let's just say her face resembled the color of a tomato.

"Hey, maybe you could go to my ship for a few days. You know- until you feel better. I also want to show you a bit of paradise," he added. "S-sure- as long as you don't do anything perverted," she replied. Kish, afraid she would change her mind, teleported them then and there.

They were now in a field of flowers, a gentle breeze carrying the scent of salt water from a nearby ocean, and the soothing sound of a nearby waterfall. Ichigo's eyes widened in awe. "You like paradise?" asked Kish. Ichigo slowly nodded, still taking in the scenery. Kish disappeared for a second, then reappeared just as quick with a plate of strawberries.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pudding was walking to the park so she could perform. When she was really close, she saw Masaya on a park bench, kissing a girl (still) who isn't Ichigo. The blonde haired monkey girl ran up to Masaya, smacked him, and then ran off to tell everyone what she saw. She told Mint first because she has connections and could get everyone to listen and know.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You feeling better yet?" asked Kish. "Thanks to you," said Ichigo. "Don't I get a thank you kiss?" he asked with a pair of puppy dog eyes. Ichigo figured it was the least she could do. He had helped her so much, and hadn't been perverted (with the exception of a few comments). And he's cute, said a nagging voice in the back of her head.

She ignored it, put her arms around Kish's neck, and leaned in until their lips met. Kish put his arms around her waist and pulled her into a tight embrace to deepen the kiss. She felt light headed, and was all tingly inside. When they pulled apart for air, Ichigo subconsciously licked her lips. Kish smirked, and pulled her in for another breathtaking kiss. After five minutes of this, they were both breathless, an equal dazed look in their eyes.

Kish looked at her with confusion. "Does this mean you've fallen for me?" he asked, hope evident in his eyes. Ichigo blushed, and looked around for a way to change the subject. Then Ichigo noticed a waterfall. It was connected to a lake, running down the side of a hill.

"Is there anything behind that waterfall?" she asked. Kish looked to where she was pointing, and said, "I've never thought about it. Wanna check with me?" Ichigo nodded. "I bet I can get there before you!" taunted Ichigo. "What? No way! I don't need to fly or teleport to beet you in a race, Kitten!" bet Kish.

"Fine. Let's have a race- one, two… three!" shouted Ichigo, and they both took off, sprinting to the waterfall. Ichigo got there first, but only by an inch. "Ha, I win!" she bragged. "I let you win!" exclaimed Kish. "Okay- let's go through the waterfall," said Ichigo, grabbing Kish's hand.

"Well, we'll have to swim. You're not afraid of water, right Kitty-Kat?" asked Kish, slightly smirking. "All because I'm part cat doesn't mean I don't like swimming! I can swim quite fine!" said Ichigo. They jumped into the lake, and Ichigo nearly suffocated.

"I-it's s-so deep!" she gasped through the water, having a hard time not sinking. "Kitten, you said you could swim!" exclaimed Kish, concern spilling into his voice as he wrapped an arm around Ichigo, making sure her head was above the water. "I didn't know it was so deep!" she admitted. He helped her swim through the water fall.

Ichigo shut her eyes, expecting to feel hard wall. Instead, she felt Kish pulling her onto solid ground. She opened her eyes to see she was in a cave. Everywhere you look, there were crystals, diamonds, sapphires, and rubies of all color, illuminating the cave. The floor was clear crystal. On one of the walls, there was a black, shining hole (probably a portal) turning round n' round. It looked like there were sparks coming out of it. Ichigo's mouth fell open in awe.

"Whoa. I can't believe I haven't been here before," said Kish. "Hey, wanna see what's on the other side of that portal?" Ichigo nodded in shocked silence. He picked her up bridal style and flew straight towards the portal. They both closed their eyes, not knowing what to expect…

T.G: MWUAHAHAHA! A cliff hanger!

Kish: No! I want to know what happens!

T.G: Too bad. Now I'm writing two stories! What have I done to myself? Ah well. I have a few more pages of this story on paper, and haven't typed it yet. I'll be gone most of this week, though, and won't be able to update! Tell me how you like my second story! And no, I am NOT ditching my other story! I'm doing both!
