We all have a weakness, Ichigo. Mine...is you." Kish grabbed the blushing Ichigo into his arms and gently sucked on her neck. "Oh, Kish...I can't." He sucked harder on her neck. "Kish...you're going to leave a hickie."

He stopped, sighing on her kneck which sent a shiver down her spine. Ichigo has been seeing Kish secretly in the forest every night. Noone knows, Not the Mews, her boss, or her parents.

Kish pinned her to a tree, kissing her as he unzipped her dress, "Is this you fantasy, Kitten? You know you're only dreaming, right?"

Ichigo let the dress fall off of her, "I don't care. Just...just don't wake me up know." She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. Kish looked into her eyes, "Too late. You're mother is calling for you."

Ichigo groaned as she woke up. "Kish...come back to Tokyo. I'm waiting.", she mumbled.

"ICHIGO! You need to get ready for school!" She stumbled out of bed, pulling her night dress over her head, grabbing her other clothes. She slipped them on and grabbed her shoes, tugging them over her feet as she hopped down the stairs. She had no use for pigtails anymore, she was 17.

Everyday after school, since Deep Blue was killed and Aoyama moved, she would visit the very last place she saw Kish and waited till it was night.

She hopped in her chair and quickly ate her breakfast. She was about to leave the kitchen when he father put a hand on her shoulder. "Huh..? Oh, dad. I have to go."

Her dad scoffed, "Ichigo, sit for a minute." Ichigo sat back down in the chair and looked up, confused, at her dad. "Where have you been going after school? Don't even try to ignore this question again. Now, answer."

Ichigo looked down at the floor and spoke in a sad voice, "Waiting."

"For who?" Her dad said but thinking, 'For Aoyama?'

"Him. Kish...him. I have been waiting for Kish to come back." A tear slid down her cheek. She stood up. "Can I go? I really have to go..."

She didn't wait for an answer. She just grabbed her school bag and walked out the door.

-In Class-

Ichigo propped her face onto her hands and stared at the board, pretending to pay attention.

"Okay, class I got a new reading assignment for you all. The book is called, 'Black-eyed Suzie'. It's a very good book. Reni, pass out the books."

"Yes sir!", Reni was Aoyama's new long-distant girlfriend. Ichigo grimaced at the fact she used to act like Reni. "Here and here. Here you go!" Reni stopped at Ichigo, quickly skipping her and gave the next person a book. "Here."

Ichigo sighed and stood up, walking to Reni, grabbing the girl by the collar of her shirt. "You don't have to skip me now that you're dating Aoyama. I could really care less. Understand?" Ichigo let go of Reni, pulled a book out of her hand and walked back to her desk. She put her hands behind her head and closed her eyes until the bell rung.

'She...just talked. That's the first time since Aoyama left...'

She gathered her things and went to the girls locker room. She dressed in a white tank-top under a black hoodie and a pink mini skirt with black-buckle boots. She pulled the hoodie over her blazing-red hair and walked into the rain. She walked down a couple blocks and looked behind her only to see Reni running at her, her brown hair swinging loose.

Ichigo stopped walking and turned around, "What?"

Reni was huffing, "I...Am...Sorry. I would...like to...be friends...?" Ichigo arched an eye-brow. Ichigo's other friends left her and the Mew team never talked to her at work. But Ichigo's face turned hard, "Why?"

"B-Because...you're lonley. I can tell. I..." Reni hugged Ichigo and pulled back quickly. "Where ya headed?"

"Um..a place. I go there everyday and wait for someone. I wait until it gets dark. You won't like it." Ichigo began walking again. Reni followed beside her and smiled, "It's okay, I'll stay for a while." Ichigo smiled weakly back at Reni. She hasn't had anyone to hang out with in a long time. It...felt...almost good.

Once they arrived Reni gasped. "WOW! This place is wrecked! Hey...isn't this where the aliens fought the Mews?"

Ichigo touched a rock that broke out of the ground and whispered sadly, "Hah...yeah. This is where I wait."

Reni put a hand on Ichigo's shoulder, "For who?"

Ichigo replyed simply, "Kish. I've been waiting for him for 4 years. He never shows up. But, I won't give up...not until he comes, anyway."

Reni smiled and hugged Ichigo from behind her. Ichigo smiled sadly as Reni laid her head on Ichigo's shoulder, comforting her. It felt right. Ichigo looked up and started to cry. She saw a dark figure in the sky that looked similar to Kish. She quickly grabbed the camera out of her hoodie pocket and shot a photo of it. She watched as it vanished into thin air.

Reni let go of Ichigo and said, "I'm gonna go now. See you tomorrow."

"Okay...goodbye Reni...and hey, thank you." Ichigo looked at the photo as it slid out of the camera.

"You're welcome." Reni disapeared into the rain. Ichigo sat on the ground and stared at the photo. "It...does look like him." She looked back into the sky and yelled out, "KISH! COME OUT! ARE YOU THERE? PLEASE...please..." She wiped back her tears and ran home. 'I'm going crazy.'

She opened her door and walked to her bed flopping onto it. She snuggled into her pillow and fell asleep.

Ichigo appeared into the forest once again. Except this time she was already out of her dress and in Kish's arms. "Oh..Kish. Take me."

Kish unbuckled her bra and kissed her neck repeatedly, earning a moan in responce. "Yes...my love." ,Ichigo said as she pulled off his pants.

"Are you sure you're ready for this, Ichigo?" Kish said grinning. Ichigo clung to him, "Yes..oh yes." He thrust his member into her breaking her virgin wall. "KISH!"

"Wake up! ICHIGO! Wake up!" She heard her dad yell, which woke her up. "What?"

Her dad was standing over her. "Look on TV. The aliens that attacked Tokyo are back!"

Ichigo's eyes went wide. "WHAT?" Her dad walked toward the door but Ichigo ran out and down the stairs, to the TV.

"This place is chaos! THE ALIENS ARE BACK!" The woman reporter exclaimed. "Where are you Tokyo Mew Mew?" Ichigo stiffened when she saw the 3 familiar looking aliens walk toward the camera.

Kish pointed at the camera, "What is that?" Pai responded, "It's a news camera. It shows everyone in Tokyo what is happening." Kish smirked "Is that so?" He teleported in front of it. "Mew Ichigo, come play kitty kitty." He winked and blew a kiss before he teleported beside Pai who shook his head, "Why are they screaming? We're just standing around!"

Ichigo got off the ground shaking, "I have to go..mom...dad..." She transformed when she crossed the street. She ran till she found a crowd of people, screaming there heads off. She looked around but saw no aliens. She heard shouts, "Mew Ichigo is here! SAVE US MEW ICHIGOOO!"

Ichigo was caught off guard by arms wrapping around her from behind. Her ears flattened against her head. "Kish...I-Is that you?" She felt the grip tighten, "Yes, hunny. Miss me?"

Ichigo felt tears spill from her eyes. She turned to face Kish, his arms still around her and kissed his lips. The kiss was full of pain, emotion, love, and passion. Kish gratefully kissed her back. People around them stared at what was happening. "Are they...kissing? But...he's the bad guy!"

Ichigo stopped kissing his lips and moved down to kiss his neck. Kish shivered under her touch."I-Ichigo...? What...are you doing?"

"I have been waiting for 4 years, Kish...waiting for you! Everyday since you left, I waited at this exact place for you. I missed you!" She hugged him closer. Kish grinned.

"Gomenasai for everything...Ichigo. I love you."

'I love you too, Kish.' "I-...I know you do." She wouldn't tell him yet.

She didn't care that the other Mews were staring at them. But she still fell their stares, like sharp daggers. Ichigo rested her head on Kish's chest, listening to his heartbeat.

Mint stepped foward but Zakuro pulled her back, "Don't you see yet? This is why Ichigo never talks anymore. She missed Kish and couldn't deal with the heartbreak. ...And I thought it was over Aoyama at first. But she barely talked before Aoyama left."

Pudding saw the other aliens come out of the crowd. "T-...TARU-TARU!" She glomped the younger alien. Taruto pushed her away blushing, "Jeez Pudding! We're 13 years old and you're still calling me that?"

Lettuce saw Pai and blushed turning her head slightly to look like she was paying attention to Mint and Zakuro. Pai looked as Pudding glomped Taruto again.
