We got this idea while watching episode 36, the one in which Ichigo finds out about Ryou's past and gets kissed by him twice (once as Alto, the other as himself. Why do they have to cut that part out?). This story takes place that evening when Ichigo gets home. It's IxR, so if you don't like, get lost now! Please R&R!
DISCLAIMER: If we owned Tokyo Mew Mew, not only would Ryou and Ichigo kiss at least once per episode, they would also be married with lots of little kids by now.
Ichigo fell back onto her bed. Today had been incredibly confusing. She had had the usual trouble with kiss-and-turn-into-a-cat, but discovered that Alto, the cat that also saved her was Shirogane. She had found out about Ryou's past and then kissed again - Twice by him in one day!
Ichigo turned over so she was lying on her stomach. She couldn't help her hand going up to her mouth and tracing it, remembering Ryou's kisses. She had been doing that all day. Ichigo caught herself. No, she thought, enough is enough! I'm going to stop thinking about Shirogane; I love Aoyama anyway- don't I? I'm definitely going to stop wishing that he'd kiss me again! The kiss wasn't that great, only sweet and tender and full of promise and that his lips were soft and warm…STOP IT! She suddenly sat up straight and sighed.
"I guess I'll have to face it sometime, I'm in love Shirogane, but dating Aoyama! What am I going to do?"
"You could tell him." Came an answer from the doorway. Ichigo looked up and saw Zakuro standing at the door. "You never know what might happen."
"How did you get here?" asked a very surprised Ichigo.
"Your mom let me in." Zakuro crossed the room and sat down next to Ichigo on the bed.
"Come on, get your jacket on." She said. Ichigo looked up, puzzlement written all over her face.
"Why?"
Zakuro sighed. "Baka! (A/N: This is Japanese for idiot.) We're going to Café Mew Mew where you can tell our boss that you are desperately in love with him." She got up and walked over to the door where Ichigo's coat was hanging on the back. She turned round with it in her hands to see Ichigo staring at her as if she was mad.
"I can't do that! I mean… what if he laughs and tells me he hates me! What if-" Zakuro smiled.
"What if he says I love you too?" She interrupted. "I've been talking with Akasaka, and he says Ryou really, really likes you, but is afraid to show it."
"Really?" Ichigo's voice was getting higher and higher. Zakuro nodded.
"Really."
"Well, let's go then! What are we waiting for?" Zakuro smiled as the red-haired girl leapt up and grabbed her jacket. Zakuro smiled as she left the room.
"Love changes a person so much, even good friends can't recognise them."
We're not sure whether to leave this as a one-shot, or make it into a series. Please let us know in your reviews. Baibai!
