Ichigo was walking with her friends, Moe and Miwa through the park. They had nowhere to be and decided to just hang out since there was nothing else they really wanted to do on this lovely Sunday afternoon. They had originally thought about going to see a movie but all three of them were broke and did not have that option. They sat down on the top of a large grassy hill where they always sat when coming to the park and watched all the people come and go. They saw all sorts of parents holding hands with their child while they walked towards the playground. Mothers would go sit on a bench as the kid ran off to play. More likely than not, another mother would come by and the two mothers would talk with each other while somehow managing to keep an eye on their kid running around in the mass of other kids. The fathers would take their children to the field and pass a baseball or a soccer ball back and forth, and then one would have to run and get it if it was missed.

"Hey, Ichigo," Moe said after a while. Ichigo turned to her with a drowsy look on her face. This calm atmosphere and the sun shining down on her were making her sleepy, not that she wasn't always tiered. She could have curled up right there and taken a nice little cat nap. "Have you noticed the new kid, yet?" Moe was a gossip girl, while Miwa was the smarter one, leaving Ichigo as the somewhat lazy forgetful one. Ichigo didn't mind this though. She knew who she was and wouldn't change it. Ichigo shock her head at her friends comment. She had heard of him but she didn't really care for the perfect person they made him out to be.

"Oh, Moe, he is not that grand." Miwa said, rolling her eyes.

"What do you mean?" Moe yelled back. Ichigo's friends acted so much like sisters; Ichigo sometimes thought that they were separated at birth. "His name is Aoyama Masaya. He is really good looking and he is really smart too. He has the brain and the brawn. Oh, and have you seen him in kendo? He beat the club president on their first match, not to mention holding his own against the club adviser. He must be a natural with a real sword, can you imagine it? He is like the perfect knight, but he would not look good in white. I think he would be a blue knight." Moe's eyes were lighting up like stars. The other girls didn't really care about gossiping over boys but they were happy for Moe.

"I'm kind a thirsty. Do you guys want anything?" Ichigo asked, standing up. She was only half thinking of getting something to drink. What she really wanted to do was get away from Moe before she went into full fan girl mode. It wasn't unlikely that she would, and if she did it would take a while before Miwa would be about to get her to calm down.

"I'm good." Moe and Miwa said in synch. Ichigo smiled at the unplanned reaction and the three girls laughed before Ichigo started walking down the hill. She started to think about the new kid, this Aoyama-kun. She wondered if they could be friends. She wouldn't mind just being friends with him. If he was as good with a sword or a buken as Moe said he was, he could be really nice protection, not that Ichigo wanted to use him for it. But then again if he was a perfect as Moe said he was, then most of the girls of school would have already noticed and he would have so many fan girls that Ichigo would never be able to get close enough to talk to him. A couple walked by her, holding hands and smiling. Ichigo wanted a boyfriend and her friends were helping but it wasn't going so well. None of the boys at school really took interest in her, there were plenty of other girls at school who were a lot prettier then Ichigo was. True she had a few guy friends that she could talk to but these relationships were nothing more than mutual.

"I will probably have to find a guy from another world to like me and get a chance at a boyfriend." Ichigo thought to herself. It made Ichigo laugh at how ridicules the idea was. Scientist had yet to find any sigh of alien life. And as far as Ichigo was concerned there was no such thing as aliens. She walked up to the food stall and got a bottle of water. She drank half of it quickly calming her thirst before she started walking back to her friends. She hadn't even taken three steps when she heard many screams of terror and soon many people came running at her. There were so many people she had to dive into a bush to get out of the way. She slowly made her way back to where everyone was fleeing from, staying off the path until it was clear. She was scared at what she found. It was a monster, and it was coming right at her. It looked like a cross between a dragon and a rat with a big blue gem on its forehead. She wanted to run away like the other people had done but something caught her attention. In the path of the beast was a small black kitten. It was arching its back and hissing at the rat dragon, however, the beast didn't seem to notice it.

"Move little cat." Ichigo hissed, but the cat just stayed clawing the air in front of the beast. "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty. Come on be a good little cat." Ichigo tried to get the cat to move but it didn't work, and what was worse was that the beast had seen the small feline and seemed to have a grudge. It raised a sharp claw and right as it swooped it down in the attack, Ichigo ran out, grabbed the cat, and then rolled to the other side of the path. However, it was not without injury. In the roll, Ichigo had twisted her ankle, not to mention the claws of the beast had scrapped her back. Her shirt was ripped and her back was sore, but thankfully there was no blood. The cat on the other hand was perfectly fine and was even nuzzling its check against Ichigo's chest. Ichigo wondered if it even realized what sort of danger it had been it. The rat dragon looked down at its claw and saw the lack of blood on them as a problem. It turned to where Ichigo was trying to get the cat to scamper off. The cat, to Ichigo's unhappy displeasure, had other intentions. It seemed to have taken a liking to the savior of its live. The two beings didn't see the beast raising its paw intent to get rid of its target once and for all.

"Freeze!" A voice called behind Ichigo. She turned sharply, not recognizing the male voice. She first saw the monster behind her was frozen with its claw swinging down. Ichigo watched and waited for the attack, but the beast didn't even blink. It was completely still. "It's not going to move, if that's what you're thinking. At least not until I tell it to." Ichigo followed the voice and found a boy sitting in mid air with his arms crossed over his chest. He looked like no boy Ichigo had ever seen before. He had the brightest eyes she had ever imagined; they almost looked gold in the light. Ichigo then noticed that the sun was behind him and realized that the boy's eyes were actually gold. He had green hair with two little ponytails wrapped in red ribbon hanging on either side of his face, right in front of large elf like ears. Ichigo was memorized by his appearance and could not look away, not that she wanted to. The gold eyes stared back at her with very little emotion in them. "You are quite amazing. You risked your life for that little kitten, when so many others ran in fear. Why did you?" She didn't know herself why she had done it; it was more of an instinct to save the little cat. Ichigo opened her mouth to speck but was stopped by another noise.

"Kisshu!" Someone screamed, as they came running at them.

"Excuse me," the boy, Ichigo guessed was named Kisshu said as he turned, still in mid air to look at the new comer. Ichigo turned and was confused to see to a girl roughly her own age. She was wearing a short yellow dress with her long blond hair flowing down her back. The strangest thing about her was that she had bunny ears sticking out of her head and a cat like tail with a red ribbon and bell near the tip. She looked like some sort of cosplayer who didn't know whether to be a bunny or at cat, so choose to be both. "Ah, why if it isn't the little crossbreed coming to the rescue. It is so nice to see you again." The sarcasm in Kisshu's voice made Ichigo want to laugh but she didn't think that would have been very nice, or the right thing to do in this situation. The girl ran over to Ichigo and blocked her from Kisshu's view.

"What are you doing, Kisshu? You better not have hurt this girl in any way!" She yelled angrily. Kisshu stood, but remained in the air.

"I am hurt that you would think so low of me. I have done nothing to Koneko-chan." Kisshu said, placing a hand over his chest as if the statement actually hurt him. He then gave Ichigo a wink before snapping his fingers. Instantly the rat dragon unfroze. The girl quickly pushed Ichigo out of the way, knocking both of them to the ground. The hybrid girl stood up first, pulling up Ichigo after.

"That was not fair, Kisshu!" She complained as she materialized a weird looking staff. It had what looked like a strawberry or an upside down heat on the top surrounded by three bunny heads. "I'm going to destroy this thing, and them I'm going to make you regret targeting Earth." She shouted drawing the monster away from Ichigo. It was really weird to see this girl fight this huge monster by herself, but Ichigo had no powers so she didn't know what she could do to help. She then began to spin the rod faster and faster. She then threw the baton at the beast calling out, "RIBBON LOVEBERRY CHECK!" Soon the beast started to glow brightly, and when the light subsided the beast was reduced to a rat and a small blue octopus looking thing. "Usha!" The heroine called out as a little thing came flying out. It looked like a bunny wearing a strawberry costume. Ichigo was now getting weirded out by this girl. "Now, Kisshu, it's your turn. This is going to end today."

"Sorry to burst your bubble, but I will not be dying today, Mew Berry. Maybe you can kill me next time." He said before disappearing into a ripple of air, but only to reappear inches from Ichigo's face. He took no hesitation in bridging the distance and kissing the girl in front of him. The kiss wasn't long, only lasting a few seconds. "Good-bye, my Koneko-chan." That is when Kisshu really did leave the two girls alone. Ichigo just stood there, her hands over her mouth in shock. The yellow bunny, cat girl transformed into a normal girl in a yellow maid uniform, and ran over to Ichigo.

"Are you okay?" She asked almost as stunned as Ichigo was. "I should have known Kisshu would do something like that. Well okay I would have never guessed that he would kiss you but still. He is just a big tease, just try to forget it ever happened." She then pulled out a piece of scrap paper from a waitress booklet and a pencil from her pocket and wrote something down before ripping it off and giving it to Ichigo. "My name is Berry by the way, and I want you to call me if Kisshu ever comes to bother you again. I haven't seen him acting like he did with you, so I want to make sure you will be okay. I would love to stay and chat with you, but I have to go back to work before my jerk of a boss deducts money from my already low paycheck. Nice meeting you." She then ran off the way she came. Ichigo thought the whole situation was too weird to believe. She had just met an alien boy, saw him battle a bunny, cat girl, and then he took her first kiss. She was kissed by some alien boy, who didn't look all that bad, he was actually really handsome. Maybe she should have given Berry her number as well, but just shrugged it off. She turned to walk home when she felt something push against her leg, looking down she saw the cat she has saved.

"Do you want to come home with me?" She asked crouching down. The cat only mewed a short reply and Ichigo smiled as she picked it up. The cat nuzzled its cheek into Ichigo's chest again and Ichigo smiled. She had always wanted a pet, she wondered if her parents would let her keep it. She then continued home, only stopping a moment to though the strange girl's number in the trash as she past.
