"Ichigo

"Ichigo! Watch out!"

"Huh? What's that Lettuce?"

"He's behind you!"

Ichigo whirled around, face to face with a smirk that had always made her skin crawl. Kishu was stood there, his mocking know it all grin plastered onto his face.

"Well hello kitty," he said sweetly, which made her shiver.

"What do you want Kish?" she asked as she took a step back, her tail flicking angrily around her.

"Oh come now, don't be so harsh, I merely wanted to talk with you," he replied smoothly.

"Talk? With me? Don't be stupid, all you want to do is wipe us out!" Ichigo shouted, attempting to slap him. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her body closer to his, somehow soothing her struggles with a simple brush of his hand.

"Come now kitty, I just wanted to talk with you, now will you be a good kitty and do that for me?" Kish asked.

"Do I have much of a choice?" she asked sarcastically as he lifted her up into his arms and teleported, leaving Lettuce panicking as she headed back to café Mew Mew.

After a few moments, Kish set Ichigo down; she looked around her, drinking in the sight that was before her.

"Wow, this is beautiful," she said, forgetting who she was with for a moment.

"Almost as beautiful as you," Kish whispered to himself, unaware that Ichigo's ears could pick his voice up.

"Did you just say what I thought I heard?" she asked, looking at him, her eyes glinting in the remnants of the sunlight.

"Maybe, Ichigo, you probably hate me, but it's not going to stop what I'm going to say," Kish said, looking back at her, his breath stolen by her face. He loved her, but never had the guts to tell her after everything. He didn't care what Pai and Tart would say, he only cared about Ichigo. Deep Blue would have his ass, but he didn't care what happened with that, he'd probably lose his life, but as long as Ichigo knew the extent of his feelings then he could be executed happily.

Ichigo looked at him curiously, wondering what he was going to tell her. She blinked in the shadow of the tree he had set her under as he landed in front of her.

"Ichigo," he said, his heart thumping at the sight of her in the pink dress, and those ears and her tail, he loved it, "I have wanted to say this for a while now, but I've been scared of what you'd say, truth is, I love you Ichigo."

Ichigo stared at him. She was speechless more so than when Masaya was with her. Her heart was thumping at the sound of his voice, uttering the three words she knew she had wanted to hear.

"Kish, is that true?" she asked, her eyes widening as he nodded fervently.

"Yes, it is, I don't care if I die because of it, I just want you to know," he said. He went to continue, but was stopped by her lips pressed feverishly against his own. He melted into the kiss, his ears whole body lifting off the ground, taking her with him.

"Kish, I love you too," Ichigo replied, burying her head in his chest.

Please don't kill me for this pairing; I always thought it was cute. And besides, I'd always wanted to write a kishxichigo anyway :P. Please RXR so I can see whether to continue.
