He Returns

Chapter 1: Coming Home

I hate everything about you,

Why do I love you?

You hate everything about me

Why do you love me?

-I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace

Ichigo was walking to work like she did almost every day. It had been exactly two years sense the aliens had gone back to their home planet.

I bet I'm the only one who remembers the aliens. Ichigo thought to herself.

It was also the anniversary of when Aoyama had broken her heart. He had been cheating on her with another girl. She was devastated. She cried for days. The only thing that cheered her up was what Zakuro did for her. She 'took care' of him. And by 'take care' of him she means let her wolf pack chase him around town. Ichigo laughed to herself as she remembered the thought. She kept walking while she hummed a tune to herself.

"I always loved hearing your sing, kitten."

Ichigo gasped and turned around. Then she saw him. The boy she had almost killed multiple times. The boy she had also saved in the end. And the boy who she had almost fallen for, almost.

"K-Kisshu?"

Do you hear me,

I'm talking to you

Across the water across the deep blue ocean

Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

-Lucky by Jason Mraz ft. Colbie Caillat

"Yes." he said with sincere smile. "I came back."

"You're supposed to be on your own planet. Why are you back?" she asked surprised.

"I came back… for you, Ichigo."

"K-Kisshu…" her eyes sparkled with newly formed tears. "I-I have to go." She started to run but she suddenly stopped and turned towards him. He stood there, motionless with a hurt expression on his face. She started to cry even more when she started to run to Café Mew Mew. When she arrived at the restaurant, she ran into the changing room and dried her tears. Five minutes later, she came out and put on a fake smile. But everyone saw right through her act.

"Ichigo, what's wrong?" asked Mint in a concerning voice.

"What do you mean? I'm fine." She put on another fake smile and went back to work.

"Oh-oh, OK." she said unconvinced.

Later that night, Ichigo went home and didn't talk much to her parents, but as always, they didn't notice. She was lost in her thoughts most of the time.

She finally climbed in her bed at ten thirty.

How could he be back? And for me? He can't be serious. How could he do this to me? He knows I loved him. Did I really just say that? NO! I didn't love him. He tried to kill me and my friends multiple times. No…no….no… Then she drifted off into uneasy dreams.

OHHHH. I can tell this is going to be a good story, or so I hope. I hope this story stands out from all of the others like this. Anywho, till next time my little narwhals.
