Please leve some comments! I will be doing more chapters when I got come reviews! Well… I guess I'll shut up now and let you read my story! ^-^

Disclaimer: I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew. (sadly) :'(

Chapter 1: He Will Protect Me?

"Mint! Please can you finish off your tea quickly and get to work?" Pleaded Ichigo, wiping her brow.

"Mhmm…" Replied Mint, not really listening to anything Ichigo had to say.

It was another normal, stressful day at café mew mew. There were three more day until Valentine's Day which meant the café was extra busy, everyone wanted to try Keiichiro's new valentine cakes. Ichigo also had a date with Masaya on Valentine's Day; this made Ichigo happy and giggly whenever she thought about her date with Masaya. She only went out with him about three times and now he was asking her out on Valentine's Day? She was so happy! Maybe Masaya would tell her he loves her!

Pudding was bouncing around, doing amazing stunts and showing off to the customers, keeping them entertained, Lettuce was trying her best but still ended up breaking plates or tripping up. And of course, Mint was acting like a princess, ordering Ichigo around while drinking her tea in expensive china cups. Zakuro wasn't much of a help either, she was being rude to the customers and every so often she would join Mint and have a cup of tea with her.

This is so unfair! Thought Ichigo, It's like I'm the only one who is ever working hard round here! I mean, I know Lettuce and Pudding are both trying their best but they're always making mistakes, leaving me to sort it out.

The red head was exhausted! Well, of course she was, I mean, she had to work at a café, fight monsters and aliens, go to school and try and live the life of a normal girl, not to forget she also had the genes of a cat inside her! Of course she was tired! Who could blame her?

After a hard day of work, Ichigo finally headed home, everyone else had already left. "Bye Ryou, Bye Keiichiro!" Said Ichigo.

"Goodbye Ichigo, and thank you very much for your hard work, I'll treat you tomorrow to a slice of my new strawberry and chocolate cake!" promised Keiichiro in his usual kind, charming way. He made Ichigo feel a lot better, like she got something out of working so hard, he always made her feel better with his kind smile and politeness. "Thank you Keiichiro! I'll be looking forward to it!" replied Ichigo, brightly. "Make sure you get home safe!" said Keiichiro. "I will! Thanks again!" smiled the red head as she closed the door behind her. Keiichiro is such a gentleman! Thought Ichigo, but as for Ryou… He didn't even bother to thank me or even say bye! What an idiot! Ichigo frowned.

It was dark outside; Ichigo could hear owls hooting and the trees rustling. She had to admit, she did find it a bit scary, walking home by herself in the dark. It was also freezing; she shivered as she walked home, her teeth chattering. She was only wearing her maid outfit, with short sleeves and nothing to cover her legs.

"Hey! Koneko-chan!"

Ichigo could recognise that voice any day! She looked up and saw a black figure, the figure of Kisshu…

"What do you want Kisshu!" yelled Ichigo, angrily. She didn't want to talk to him! She just wanted to get out of the cold and go home!

"You're all alone Kitty? You must be lonely, don't worry, I'll keep you company."

Before Ichigo could say anything, Kisshu's lips were touching hers.

The red head pushed Kisshu away with all her mite.

"IDIOT! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" screamed Ichigo, she was really angry.

Kisshu laughed playfully, he thought it was kind of cute when Ichigo was angry. "Come on Ichigo, why be so aggressive?" asked Kisshu innocently, as if he hadn't done anything wrong.

"You know very well why I'm aggressive to you!" Hissed Ichigo.

She walked away until Kish grabbed her arm

"Let go of me Kish!" yelled Ichigo, trying to pull his hand off of her arm

"Ichigo, I'll tell you why I'm really here, I didn't come here just to kiss you- I came here to tell you something important" said Kisshu, looking deep into Ichigo's chocolate brown eyes, his playful, cheeky look suddenly went into a serious look.

"Wh- what is it Kish?" asked Ichigo, feeling curios,

"Ichigo, Pai had ordered me to capture you and bring you back to our ship, he has a plan. He has invented a torture room for you and the rest of them mew mews and trust me, it can kill you in seconds once you're in there. I know you probably think you can defeat him but I'm warning you. I'm not going to kidnap you, but just promise me that you'll be careful, I'll keep an eye on Pai to see what he's up to." Said Kisshu.

Why was Kisshu telling me this? Why is he looking out for me? Why isn't he helping Pai? Why won't he kidnap me? Why isn't he trying to kill me?

So many questions went through Ichigo's head.

"But Kisshu, why are you helping me?" asked Ichigo, looking up into Kish's bright gold eyes.

"Because…" Kish looked away from the red head and blushed "because I love you Ichigo and I do care what happens to you"

Ichigo's eyes opened wide and her cheeks went the colour of her hair. She knew he kissed her and stalked her a lot but she thought he was just a pervert, not that he actually loved her!

She didn't know what to say, she just stood there, taking in everything he said.

"Um… so yeah... cya, Koneko-chan…" and with that, he teleported out of her sight, leaving Ichigo standing there by herself

Well, that was weird… thought Ichigo, still blushing. I still can't believe Kish is looking out for me…

Ichigo walked home still thinking about Pai coming to kill her and Kisshu being nice.

Kisshu teleported back to the ship as Pai came into the room- eagerly. He was expecting Kisshu with a helpless Ichigo in his arms.

"Yo Pai… I'm tired, I'll be in bed" Kish said, casually lying as he walked away

"Wait right there." Said Pai, as he grabbed Kish firmly by the arm

Kish pretended to yawn.

"Seriously Pai, let me sleep will you?"

"WHY HAVEN'T YOU GOT HER?" Yelled Pai

"Hm?"

"DON'T PRETEND YOU DON'T KNOW. DEEP BLUE ORDERED US TO CAPTURE ICHIGO, WHY HAVEN'T YOU GOT HER?" Screamed Pai, he gets mad when he hasn't completed tasks Deep Blue set him, he always done everything that Deep Blue told him to do, it was like he was a god. Pai was red with anger, he squeezed Kisshu's arm tighter.

"oh that, I must have forgot, sorry." Replied Kish, glaring at Pai

"YOU, YOU, FORGOT? KISH, DEEP BLUE HAD ORDERED THAT WE KILL THE MEW MEW'S ONE BY ONE, AND FIRST WE START WITH THAT CAT GIRL!

Kish was about to say something when Taruto walked in,

"What's going on?" he asked, rubbing his eyes, he was in his pyjamas and he was meant to be in bed, he woke up because of Pai's loud screaming.

Pai quickly let go of Kisshu's arm.

"Nothing Squirt, go back to bed, ok?" said Kisshu, kindly

"You're too loud, I can't sleep" replied Taruto, with his eyes half open

Kish glared at Pai, "you know Pai, I'm also tired, I'll go to bed and tuck Taruto in." he said, while coldly staring at Pai

Pai didn't say anything, he glared at Kisshu and walked away, he didn't want to fight in front of Taruto.

"Come on Squirt, let's go" Kisshu took his hand and they teleported into their bedroom.

"That idiot…" mumbled Pai

"He never does anything deep blue tells him to do… I guess I'll just have to capture Ichigo myself…"
