Hey I hope you like this story.
The timing of this story can get a little confusing so let me know in a review or PM and I will try my best to make it clearer.
I don't own Tokyo Mew Mew because if I did, Ichigo would be Kish's Koneko-koi from the beginning. (Koi refers to a bf/gf or husband/wife)

Five years after the show ends
"Kisshu, I know how you must feel. She was my mother too." Pie said. For once the emotions belonging to the stoic alien were too much for him to hold back. Pie wiped away a few tears from his face. The youngest of the three brothers was on the floor, kneeling next to the bed that held their newly dead mother.
"No, you don't know!" Kisshu yelled to his older adoptive brother. "I lose everyone I love: my real parents, my Koneko-chan, and now her. I can't do this anymore. It will only be a matter of time before I lose you two again. And there is no way to bring you back to life!" Kisshu was at his braking point. He didn't want to have to suffer his brothers' deaths again. He could not do it with everyone else he loved gone. Of course his adoptive father was still alive, but he was never close to him and even he was fading fast.
"Kisshu, calm down, please." Tart asked, not even bothering to take his eyes off his mother's deceased form. "Fighting and yelling will do nothing right now. Besides, Mom never did like it when we fought." Tart had matured in a few years but he still had his moments when he acted like a little kid. Kish stared at the still woman's figure and instantly lost all his anger. She never did like them fighting, she didn't like it when anyone fought. She would even go out of her way to stop fights if she saw one. As far as she was concerned, they were blood related family even thought his mother and her were just close friends, and family always got along even when everyone was angry. She was a loving beautiful mother to all three of them, always holding them tightly in her arms when they were growing up. Her hands now rested on either side of her body, on hand currently being held by her youngest son. Her long brown hair was pulled to one side, tucked neatly behind one ear. After spending so much time on Earth, it was a little weird to see them, just like it was weird seeing human ears for the first time. A flash memory of Ichigo's cat ears popped up in his mind, but he push the memory away. Now was not the time to think about a girl who had no feelings for him what so ever. He was here to mourn the passing of his mother who got the chance to live on the surface without the fear of sickness. She had said she had lived a happy life and was smiling even now on her deathbed. Thankfully, someone had closed her eyes so it looked as if she was sleeping. Her sleeping face was so peaceful; it eased the reality of the fact that she would never wake up. Kish walked over to her and lightly kissed her forehead before walking out of the hospital. Pie and Tart did not try and stop him or follow him; they knew he needed some time alone to cool down and think.
Kisshu did not feel like teleporting directly home, and decided to take the long way home. He didn't live that far away from the hospital, unlike Pie or Tart so a walk home wasn't as bad as it seemed. As Kisshu looked around the busy streets and crowed shops and he sighed a happy sigh. The mew aqua had helped his planet so much in such a short period of time. The frozen dead surface was now covered in many green trees and plants, from Earth and ones native to his planet. Snow still fell a few times a year but it was more like snow on Earth, fluffy flakes of frozen water instead of poison that killed everyone and everything. The cyniclon race had been living peacefully for almost a full year, and things were only looking better as life styles and technology got better. The first four years were sadly devoted to a war with the people who still followed Deep Blue and didn't believe his betrayal. In the very end a few of them were able to sneak onto the ship Kish and his brother's had used, thinking that they had him locked up somewhere and they hacked into the ship's memories. Looking through the all files stored in its database, they found a recording of Deep Blue's true feelings about the cyniclon people and his true plan to take Earth all for himself. Needless to say, when they found out everything about their precious leader, everything connected to him was torn down and everyone accepted the idea for a new government. It was decided the planet would be split up into seven territories, and each territory had an over-seer to lead them. Then the seven over-seers would get together at least once a month to help when it's needed. Much to his surprise: Pie, Tart, and Kisshu got control over the three largest territories.
The three of them had become quite desirable in the past few years. Kisshu was always popular with the women, being as good fighter as he was but now it seemed a little out of control. He would always find some sort of love letter or letter of confession stuffed into his normal mail. Most of the time, all his messages were from were fan girls and had no real importance to him. He did read them even if they did mean very little to him; he was open to knowing how others felt for him. Tart got many as well, and he usually answered them with a regretful apology. Tart would never admit it but he was still crazy for that yellow monkey back on Earth. Kisshu didn't know how Pie handled his love notes from his fan clubs, maybe used them in some of his experiments like a heartless fool, but he did know his older brother was secretively loyal to the shy fish girl he fell for five years ago. Kisshu was surprised when he figured it out; thinking Pie would only love his experiments and not a girl, let alone a human girl. He did have a reasonable excuse though. Pie had constantly looked down on Kisshu's interest with Ichigo. However, Kisshu couldn't blame Pie for only loving the fish because he was still head over heels in love with his little kitten, Ichigo. The girl he used as a toy who had become the love of his life was the only one for him. She had chosen the tree hugger over him in the very end. And he wouldn't lie and say it didn't hurt because it hurt like hell, worse than hell at times. However, the stupid human made her happy more than he did and that is what made him bare his choice. He was still in love with her and would never love anyone more than her; but he would have to live without her. Many times the thought of going back to Earth just to see her smiling face came to his mind and he almost went through with the plans but choose not to. He couldn't go back to stalking her like he had before, it would hurt him more to see someone he wanted so badly but could even talk to. Maybe he could talk with her, just to see how she was doing and maybe get to see her ears and tail. They were always his most favorite part of her. Kisshu loved everything about the pink cat girl; but when her black ears and fuzzy tail showed he could barely restrain himself from reaching out and touching them. Kisshu shock his head quickly; he couldn't be thinking of her. He would miss her too much if he constantly thought of her.
He walked past many cyniclons on the street hearing snips its of everyone's conversations. He could hear the people talking about plans for dinner, vacations and a few maidens admiring him from the side of the road. He hadn't changed all that much from his time on Earth. His hair had gotten a little longer and he needed it cut, too much had been going on to do it. His skill with his dragon blades had increased exponentially; on one could touch him. He was still skinny but he possessed raw power. Everyone moved out of the way to let him through; some with fear and others with respect and still a few out of shy characters. That was until one girl came running up to him with a face a pure terror and she grabbed onto his shirt. She had short red hair with two messy pigtails and big brown eyes. Kisshu could feel everyone's eyes on him, and frankly he didn't care. Kisshu saw only one person in front of him. She could have been his kitten, they were almost identical twins. The only difference was the girl in front of him had cyniclon ears.
"Help me, please." The girl pleaded, baring her face in his chest. Kisshu was frozen to the spot. This was so unreal he was almost as scared as the girl in front of him. This girl had the same voice as the girl he once loved on Earth. He had to stop himself from kissing her there on the spot. This was not his girl; this was some random off the street. Kisshu couldn't use her like this, or could he do it? It couldn't be that hard right? He could help her, and care for her. He would protect her and get to know her. She could fall for him, it was possible right? Then he could get to know the real her, and he might fall in love with that girl too. He could still have his kitten. He could see it all in his head, however, he couldn't use this innocent girl like that. "Please Sir," she yelled in her barrowed voice. "I will pay whatever you want. Just help me!" She looked around as if trying her attackers. Kisshu took a quick look as well but saw nothing out of the ordinary. That didn't change the fact that Kitten's twin was shaking in fear. Kisshu wrapped a protective arm around her shoulders. She looked at him in shock, and he gave her a small comforting smile.
"You don't have to pay anything." Kisshu placed his other arm around her legs, lifted her up, and held her tightly against his chest. The woman in his arms was still shacking but not as bad now. "I'll help you." He whispered before teleporting the two of them to his mansion. He laid her down called for a doctor, food, and a change of clothes for her his guest.
"You don't have to be afraid anymore." He reassured her. "You can stay here as long as you want. This can even be your permanent home after this is done," Kisshu offered. The girl looked at him as if he had just given her the whole planet.
"Really Sir, you mean that?!" She yelled in disbelief. Her eyes were shinning with happiness. Kisshu was glad he could make her happy but all he could think of right now was Ichigo. How she had looked at that boy of her's with the same happy eyes when he was around her. Kisshu felt as if his heart was being squeezed, but he couldn't let this pain show. He wouldn't let his problems affect the people around him, especially not this girl who was causing the pain.
"I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it. And don't call me sir, the name is Kisshu." He said putting on a forced smiled. He seemed to be getting good at covering up how he was feeling; at least no one ever asked what he was really feeling when he did. "What's your name," He asked the girl just as the food was brought before them.
"I… I…" the girl stuttered. Kisshu watched as slowly began to run down her face. He had made her cry and that was the final straw, he couldn't hold back anymore. He quickly grabbed a napkin that was brought out with the food and rushed over to the crying girl's side. No matter hard he tried, this woman in front of him looked too much like his kitten; he would do anything and everything to keep her happy. Kisshu lifted up her face and gently wiped away her tears, making sure to keep a smile on his own face as he did so.
"Come now, there is no need to cry. If you don't want to tell me your name, you don't have to. You don't have to tell me anything of your past if it troubles you. Just know that I am here for you no matter what," Kisshu said, trying to comfort her. She shook her head, and gave a small sniffled. She didn't push him away, but there seemed to be something on her mind she was trying to decide if she wanted to say or not.
"No, it is not that I don't want to tell you. I can't remember my name. I can't remember anything of my past: my parents, any friends, nothing. My mind is completely blank." Kisshu felt sorry for the girl. Not only was she in trouble, she had no memories either. Kisshu took the innocent girl up in his arms. She stiffened at his actions, but he couldn't stop himself. Even if this person wasn't his kitten, he couldn't help but show her his love. If there was a way to make her happy, he was going to find away and bring back her memories. The girl slowly hugged him back.
"I'll help you remember everything, I promise you that. However, for the time being, we'll need to give you a name." They were silent for a few seconds. Kisshu only had one name in mind. He wanted to give the girl in front of him her name, but if he did wouldn't be able to control himself. Then he thought about how the girl before him would feel if she ever found out that he was in a way using her to be a part of a live that he never could. Being used only for your face by one person you thought you could trust would break her heart and Kisshu could never let himself do such a thing.
"I can't think of anything. What about you," she asked smiling just a little. She seemed even a little bit happier than she did before.
"Kitten," Kisshu said without thinking. There was a moment of silence before his words actually registered in his mind. He had to fix this before it was too late. "No, wait…" Desperately, he tried to think of another name, any name but her's. Although he tried, nothing but Ichigo was on his mind. Her name, her face, her lips were flooding his mind and he couldn't get them to stop.
"Kitten? I like it." She said with a wide smile and Kisshu smile in return. He knew he couldn't let her go now; he couldn't handle loosing the same girl again, even if they were not the exact same girl. With the looks she had and now her nickname, he would have to make sure to keep his emotions in checkmate at all times. He was scared to scare this girl away like he had with Ichigo. His mind was making a whole new plan to redo his love affair from Earth, but this time have it move in his favor. However tempting the idea was, he could never let his heart feel such pain if the plan failed yet again.
"Well, Kitten, welcome home." Kisshu whispered to the girl in his arms as he continued to hold her tightly. The doctor soon came into the room, and another maid came in with some extra clothes. Much to Kisshu's discomfort, Kitten's first pick was a pink dress that was very similar to Ichigo's Mew Mew outfit. Kitten loved the dress and thanked the maid strongly for her generosity. After the doctor examination, she told Kisshu that nothing major was wrong with Kitten. Kitten seemed just to be scared out of her wits, and it looked as if she hadn't had a restful night's sleep in a few days but there were no physical wounds on her body. The doctor left and Kisshu showed Kitten around the house. She already appeared happier to him, which made him smile but he couldn't help thinking about her lost memory what will happen when she got it back. The most likely answer was that she would go back to her family and leave him. This thought made him depressed, although he hid it until he was alone. He was going to lose his kitten, his little Koneko-chan all over again.

Six months after show/ Ichigo's POV
"Ichigo, this is good-bye." Aoyama-kun gave me one final hug and kiss before gathering up his suitcase and walking to the plane. He was going to study abroad to be a zoologist.
"Good luck!" I called as I watched, teary eyed as he left me standing in the middle of the airport. It's only been a six months since the cyniclons had left the planet. I miss them, and I'm almost sorry to say Kisshu most of all. Aoyama was still my boyfriend, and I love him with my whole heart; it was just I could have become great friends with them. They were friendly and pretty cool if you could get to know them, which I never gave Kisshu the chance. That was one decision that I regret before they left. I had pushed Kisshu away so quickly but they had to leave so they could save their planet. I still haven't completely gotten over the fact that they were gone. I still said good night to the tree outside my window and left it unlocked when I went to bed on bad nights. I would still walk by the old building where I first met Kisshu and where he stole my first kiss. I don't know why I walk by there so much, probably to remember him even if the memory wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. Not to mention I kept a nice patrol of the sky whenever I was near Aoyama-kun. I guess I wouldn't have to worry so much now but I doubt I will stop looking for the green haired alien who fell in love with me.
I had been thinking about Kisshu a lot since they left, which made me a little uncomfortable to admit. I guess I just miss the knowledge of someone was always around me, not that I really liked Kisshu as my stalker. It just made me a little more at ease to know if I needed someone, they were just a call away and they would be there in, literally a second. I would never admit it out loud but having Kisshu following me around so much wasn't a bad thing all the time. I almost miss it. I wondered when they would be coming back; Kisshu said he would be coming back for me so he could finally make me his. I would still be with Aoyama-kun but it would give me a chance to apologize to Kisshu and maybe get to know him a little more. I looked up at the clock on the large monitors displaying plane arrivals and departures.
"Ahhhh, I'm going to be late!" I screamed before running out of the airport. I still worked with all my friends at Café Mew Mew. We didn't have our mew mew powers anymore but that was fine with me, not having to worry about my ears and tail were perfect. I also didn't like turning into a cat when I was kissed by Aoyama-kun. Although, I did miss the cat like speed and agility my powers gave me that got me to work on time.
"If you wanted a little kiss goodbye, you could have asked Kitty-cat." His voice rang in my head. I froze and looked everywhere around me, but I didn't see him. I wondered if I was just hearing things or if he was actually back on Earth. At this time, however, I couldn't think about it. I looked up at the sky and watched as a plane soared into the sky. I was defiantly going to miss my boyfriend and couldn't wait to see him again.
