Chopstick: Hey everyone! This is my first TMM fanfic so please don't flame me! KISH AND ICHIGO FOREVER! Sorry if the first chapter is slightly slow, but it will get better, I promise! And please review, reviews keep me going! Anyway, onward to da disclaimer thingamajiggy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew or any related characters. (Though I wish to own Kishy-kins! -shiny eyes-)

Be happy. That's all I ask.

In the end, your happiness is all I wish for.

Ichigo sighed and looked out through the rain streaming down her window. Was she happy? She had gotten what she wanted, hadn't she? Masaya loved her. She should have been the happiest girl on the planet.

But she wasn't.

It had been nearly a month since Kish, Pie and Tart had gone back to their planet and Masaya had left to study abroad. If only Ichigo had had more time before Kish left. The cat girl didn't want to admit how much she missed him.

Shaking her head to get rid of those thoughts, Ichigo pressed her forehead against the glass. The rain had stopped and the night was completely still. Suddenly, two yellow eyes appeared right in front of Ichigo's! The girl stifled a scream and fell backward in surprise.

Kish was hanging upside-down in front of her window, a grin on his face. He was soaked head to foot. The alien slid the window open and flipped inside. "Long time no see, honey."

"Kish!" she squeaked. "What are you-" Kish pressed a finger to the cat-girl's lips and winked.

"None of that, Ichigo." The alien chided her playfully. "We wouldn't want your lovely parents to wake up."

Ichigo shuddered. Her dad would kill her! "Why are you here? Don't you know what time it is?"

"Of course!" He answered cheerfully. "I have to show you something." Ichigo protested but Kish pulled her over to the window, wrapping his arms around her stomach. Suddenly, the alien leapt out and soared into the air, cradling Ichigo. The cat-girl gasped and found herself clutching to the front of his shirt to keep from falling.

"Kish, what are you doing!" She cried as her cat ears popped out. She only hoped she wouldn't turn into a cat now; the alien would drop her for sure! Kish grinned down at her.

"I told you, I have to show you something!"

"Put me back, you jerk!"

Kish ignored her and Ichigo finally brought herself to look around. "Kish, is that-"

"Yup!" Kish interrupted, running a finger along one of her black cat ears. "Tokyo Tower." The alien finally alighted on one of the support beams, gently setting her down beside him.

The view was incredible! Ichigo couldn't help but gasp as she looked down upon the millions of tiny Tokyo lights. Cars ran through the streets like blood veins. She could even see the rounded top of the Tokyo Dome in the distance. Kish looked down at her, beaming.

"What do you think, kitten?" He asked softly.

"I-It's beautiful…Kish, why did you come back?"

The alien's face turned serious and he sat down next to her. "I missed you, Ichigo." Looking up at the tip of Tokyo tower, he sighed. "I thought I could let you go, but I haven't been able to stop thinking about you since I left. Are you happy with Masaya, Ichigo? Really?"

Ichigo looked stunned for a minute then forced a smile. "Yes. Of course!" The cat girl answered buoyantly, though her mind wasn't so sure. Kish hung his head, disappointed. "Oh." He murmured. "Well, then, I should get you back home." Silently, he picked Ichigo back up, leapt off the building and finally returned to the girl's house. Ichigo climbed back in her window and turned to Kish.

"Um….I…" She stammered, blushing. "Will you be…are you staying?" There, it was out.

"For a little while. Pie wanted to talk to Shirogane about the mew aqua. You see, honey, it…well, I decided to tag along. Tart's here too."

"Cool…So I guess I'll be seeing you, then."

"Count on it, kitten." The alien snuck a kiss on her cheek then flew away, leaving Ichigo gently touching the spot.

"The mew aqua was stolen!" Ryou repeated, surprised.

Pie nodded. "We were only able to administer twenty four point six percent before it was taken, causing our planet to become environmentally unstable. If this continues…" Pie looked away. "If this continues, we won't have anywhere to live. Tokyo continental renaissance will be reinstated in twice the force, and you will be wiped out forever."
