6/3/2015 ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm rewriting this entire story with more detail, longer chapters, and better content! So please be patient with me! I'll probably post the rewrite as a brand new story. I only considered rewriting thanks to a few new readers asking me to continue the story. However, as it is now I can't continue it, considering my writing abilities have improved since this stories first publishing. That is why I plan the rewrite, so that it is better suited to my abilities and will give you, the readers, much more to read! Thank you for your time!


OK, this is not my first fanfic, I wrote Harry Potter fanfics on a different site before now (I may put those up as well), but this is my first TMM fanfic. And as a warning to all Aoyama lovers, this is a Kishigo fanfic. Don't get me wrong I like Aoyama, but I'm not into tree-huggers.

Ichigo: That's your problem, not mine.

Uh-huh, and your job is?

Ichigo: *sigh* Tokyo Mew Mew does not belong to Nilla Mew Mew in anyway shape or form other than her plot or future made-up characters. Otherwise...

I think they get the point. *grins evilly*

Ichigo: You scare me.

I scare a lot of people, kitten.


1. Ichigo's Dream

Ichigo's POV

Ichigo sat on the floor of the palace haning her head, her body bruised, bloodied and tired. Aoyama-kun, now Deep Blue, walked closer to her.

She looked up at him "You said 'no longer necessary.' What are you talking about?"

He grinned, "I have no reason to explain it. I am invincible. That's all you need to know."

She was in total shock. This was not my Aoyama-kun. Where was that gentle smile I so loved? She thought.

"Almighty as I am, I can not be defeated by a pathetic Earthling." Aoyama-kun raised his hand and a blue light formed around it, Ichigo's eyes widened and she gasped.

"This beautiful planet belongs to me. It is solely mine. I won't allow anyone else to touch it!" His eyes glowed with anger.

"Aoyama-kun!" She screamed, suddenly, the air rippled and Kisshu appeared, he kneeled before Aoyama-kun.

"Please wait, Deep Blue-sama." Kisshu said.

"Kisshu?" She whispered, he shot her a glare that surprised her.

Aoyama-kun didn't look away from her, but spoke to Kisshu. "What is it, useless one? Get out of my sight!"

"Deep Blue-sama," began Kisshu, "please accept my deep apologies for the many disrespects up until now." Then he stood and started to walk towards Ichigo.

"Kisshu?"

"In order to atone…Watch as I end the life of this Earthling." She watched in shock as his dragon swords appeared in his hands. "Please lay down your arms. Earthlings aren't worth troubling yourself with."

"You're asking forgiveness from me?" Aoyama chuckled evily, lowering his hand.

"Yes. Everything on this planet belongs to Deep Blue-sama." Kisshu paused . "However…"

Kisshu transported himself to behind Aoyama-kun, one of his swords pointed at his neck. Ichigo gasped.

"You!" Aoyama-kun said with anger in his voice.

Kisshu spoke to Aoyama-kun with anger in his eyes, "You have been driven by your own greed and became careless. All you want is to make this planet your own. You never planned to use this power to save my home planet. If you really want to hurt the Earth this badly, go right ahead." A short pause followed, then Kisshu said, "But I will never allow you to have Ichigo!"

Ichigo watched in silence, she could hear her own heart beating in her chest, she held her breath.

"In the end, you plan to oppose me?" Aoyama-kun asked.

"That's right." Kisshu grinned and thrust his sword in his other hand towards Aoyama-kun's chest, but Ichigo watched in horror as instead, Aoyama's sword pierced Kisshu's chest.

Kisshu winced in pain, "I lost." Then he was flung off of Aoyama's sword towards her.

"Kisshu!" She screamed, he landed in front of her; Ichigo laid his limp body in her lap, "Kisshu."

Kisshu's eyes opened to look at her, his face was a mix of sad and happy. "I guess I was lucky to have this time with you. Ichigo." As he spoke tears formed in her eyes, "Are you crying, Ichigo?" He paused; she stared down at him, tears streamed down her cheeks. "I'll teach you something good." He said.

He started to raise his face towards hers, "Kisshu." Ichigo whispered. When his lips were just a breaths width away from hers he collapsed back into her arms.

"KISSHU!"

Ichigo shot straight up in bed, gasping for air, tears stains on her cheeks. She looked at the clock, it was 3 in the morning.

It was summer, and she had a date with Aoyama-kun that day. It had been nearly a year since that fateful day. And every night since she has dreamt about the moment when Kisshu died in her arms. It haunted her dreams.

Ichigo never loved Kisshu, it has always been her Aoyama-kun she loved. But watching someone try to kiss you and then die in your arms has a terrible effect on you.

She told Shirogane about her dreams. But being the idiot jerk he is, he brushed it aside like everything else he didn't find important. Akasaka-san wouldn't say anything unless Shirogane did. Ichigo tried to talk to the other mew mews, but Mint ignored her, Lettuce just smiled sadly, Pudding laughed, and Zakuro shook her head. It was like no one cared.

The only person left to talk to was Aoyama-kun, but he was very sensitive about the subject of that day that it wouldn't be a good idea.

She felt alone. Over the past year, despite appearing her cheerful-self, Ichigo fell into depression. Not even a date with Aoyama-kun could heighten her spirits; she only pretended to be happy most of the time.

She wasn't happy at all; she felt the sting of guilt whenever she thought about Kisshu, and that was almost all the time now. Ichigo blamed herself for his death.

Ichigo sat in her room later that day, thinking. Not about her date, but about her dream.

"Ichigo!" Her mom called from the kitchen, "Dinner is ready!" She put on her mask of cheerfulness and skipped down to the dinning room.

"Mmm, the food is as good as ever mom!" Ichigo said cheerfully, munching her food ravenously.

"Ichigo sure seems in a rather good mood today." Her dad said.

"Ichigo's always in this kind of mood, dear." Her mom said smiling at her dad.

"Did something happen with your boyfriend Aoyama?" Her dad inquired.

Ichigo nearly spit out her food, "Dad!"

"So something did happen, eh?" Ichigo's dad got a devilish grin, "What was it?"

"Why are you always like this? Can't I just be happy for no reason!"

"She's right, dear, you are always asking that question, even when Ichigo is not happy." Her mom said, backing her up. Apparently they were a lot alike.

Her dad crossed his arms and grumbled.

Yes, it was another normal meal at the Momomiya home, actually even though she was pretending to be happy, that had become a normal part of it too.

When would everything be OK again? Would she ever stop feeling sorry about Kisshu's death? Was there another reason Ichigo didn't want to let it go.

No, there was no other reason. She loved her Aoyama-kun. Yet still, that night she went to sleep with tears in her eyes again, reluctant to fall asleep and be haunted by his death once more.

Kisshu's POV

Kisshu watched his kitten go to bed. He hovered outside her window in the dark of a moonless night, but because he wasn't human his surroundings seemed as bright as ever. This was the third night since he returned to Earth, the third night Kisshu watched his kitten fall asleep with tears in her eyes.

He had come back for her of course, there was no reason left for him to fool around with the useless Earthlings, now that his home planet had been saved and his people lived in peace.

But for some reason Kisshu couldn't approach her. Before he would have relished in the fact his kitten was crying, but now things had changed. After Ichigo had cried herself to sleep, Kisshu teleported into her room.

She looked so small and helpless, like a lost kitten. Kisshu knelt by her bedside and wiped away the still fresh tears from her cheeks. Then he softly kissed her lips, "Good night, kitten." Then the air rippled and he was gone.


Ichigo: I still don't like him.

You're heartless, even after he died in your arms you still don't care? That's cold.

Ichigo: Um...

Suit yourself, anyways I hope you enjoyed this. The chapter was short but all my beginnings are short. The next chapter will be up soon, I promise. My life force is writing and the computer.

Ichigo: Your strange.

I get that a lot, kitten. Well please review! Positive and negative feedback appreciated!
