Mew Bubblegum: Here I am again! With another story. I know I haven't finished "Revenge of the Mew" but I had a thought about this story,so I had to write it and I think I've done a better job with this one. I'll let you decide that though.

Kisshu: Well-

Mew Bubblegum: Shut up and don't spoil it for them^^

Ichigo: Mew Bubblegum does not own Tokyo Mew Mew and would like to thank the original owners for creating these characters. Trust me, if she did own Tokyo Mew, I'd be out of a job because she'd be replacing me. Well one good thing of that is that Kisshu would pester her :D

Kisshu: Hey!

Prologue

Masaya woke up -Mew Ichigo's hand in his- and looked towards Mew Ichigo's still face. Her eyes closed so tenderly and fine. Masaya took a moment to go over the features of her face with his deep dark eyes. With a soft touch, he caressed the side of Mew Ichigo's face.

"I-Ichigo?" Masaya uttered.

There was no sound from the sleeping cat girl beside him. Masaya was soon aware of a dark figure standing over them. It was Kisshu. His once glowing, amber eyes were now deep with sadness.

"S-she's... D-dead..." Kisshu stuttered.

He turned his face away from Masaya's sight, his hands shaking.

"Dead?" Masaya repeated.

Kisshu glanced back and with a sharp look towards Mew Ichigo, he nodded. Masaya's lips parted slightly at the terrible news, his eyes widened with shock. The with a darted look at Kisshu, he narrowed his eyes and picked up the lifeless body that layed before them. Masaya held Ichigo's face closer and closer to his.

"I-Ichigo... I'll make you better," Masaya mouth made a small smile, but just barely.

"Aoyama..." Kisshu began, his bowed down to the ground, his eyes adverting Masaya's glare.

"Hai?"

"M-may... I k-kiss her?"

Masaya's eyes rose in shock to this request. Kisshu had never asked him permission now, so why would he start now? He has such a nerve! Masaya's rage flumed in his thoughts. Then he realised something, water was leaking from the side of Kisshu's face.

"P-please... S-she ment so... Much to me..." Kisshu whispered.

Masaya stepped closer to Kisshu, with Mew Ichigo within his arms. Kisshu helped support the girl's lifeless head, his tears falling on her cold cheeks.

"Ichigo... I wanted to teach you something good... I'll do it now," Kisshu whispered in pink-haired girl's ear.

Kisshu leant down to her face and stroked the side of her left eye. The gleem from his eyes was gone, nothing but sadness filled them. Kisshu pursed his lips and pressed them against Mew Ichigo's. With his right hand, he held her face lightly. Suddenly, Mew Ichigo's body began to glow bright pink. She floated up slightly, out of Masaya and Kisshu's grasp. At that moment in time, the rest of Tokyo Mew Mew appeared. Their eyes gazed in what they saw and their transformations dispersed into the air. Ichigo's body radiated in more colour and her transformation vanished into nowhere. A small black cat jumping our of her mind running off into the far green distance. Ichigo's body fell back into Masaya's arms. She gave off a little sigh and Masaya and Kisshu looked hopeful at her. They peered down at her body and they were greeted with two big chocolate brown eyes.

"Aoyama-kun?" words popped out of Ichigo's mouth.

She sat up, her arms flying around Masaya's back.

"Ichigo! You're... Alive?" Masaya was still in a state of shock.

"Of course I am," Ichigo smiled like it was something silly that he had just said.

"Ichigo?" Kisshu stepped a little forward.

Ichigo's eyes met his beaming, amber eyes. A smile crossed his face and the forest green-haired alien sighed with relief.

"I thought it was the end of you," Kisshu said with his light and breezey voice.

"Can't keep a good girl down," Ichigo giggled.

Pai and Taruto appeared at Kisshu's sides and they all bowed in respect for the Mew Mews.

"We should have listened to you all," Pai said, his eyes focusing on Lettuce.

"That doesn't matter now. What does is that our world and your world are at peace with each other," Zakuro returned in her polite manor.

"Hai."

Ichigo climbed out of Masaya's arms and stepped up to her once known stalker, Kisshu. She took his hands and gazed into his eyes. Kisshu was a little alarmed by the girl's sudden turn to him.

"Kisshu, I'll miss you. I don't know why, but I will," Ichigo smiled.

For the first time in his life, Kisshu was speechless. Ichigo leaned closer to his face and kissed his cheek. Kisshu's cheeks flushed red.

"Goodbye, my friendly stalker," Ichigo giggled and retreated to Masaya's side.

"Goodbye, koneko-chan," Kisshu whispered.

Pai, Kisshu and Taruto transported the Mew Mews out of the alien ship and-

-they appeared outside, back with Ryou. The ship took off as they all waved goodbye to their new friends. Kisshu, I won't ever foeget you, Ichigo thought. She turned to Masaya and kissed him passionatly.

"Our time, it starts here, right?" Ichigo gazed into Masaya's happy eyes.

"Yes, Ichigo, it starts right here," Masaya smiled.

5 years later

Ichigo lay over Masaya's naked chest. Only showing her bare back and her red hair flowing down her back and over Masaya's chest. The covers were loosely around their bodies, barely showing the top of Masaya's stomach and the bottom of Ichigo's back. He twirlled the red hair of the sleeping girl and arched his other arm behind his head. Ichigo, I love you, Masaya thought happily. He gently closed his eyes and fell fast asleep. Outside the closed window, a dark figure floated above, staring down at the loving couple inside. The twinkle of tears glided off soft eyes of sadness. The shadow flew up into the dark night sky, leaving without a word.

The next morning, Ichigo and Masaya both left for collage. They kissed and left in opposite directions. Ichigo hummed a small tune while prancing down the street, to meet her good friend Minto. Minto was waiting in her high prestine manor. Her ebony hair swimming around her shoulders and her deep blue dress whirlling around her ankles. Ichigo waved to her from a distance and ran along to meet her.

"Good morning, Minto," Ichigo bowed to her friend.

"Good morning, Ichigo," Minto bowed in return.

They smiled and walked along the road together. The morning was fresh and bright agains't Ichigo's face. A lot had changed in the last five years.

Ichigo, Minto, and Lettuce were all now eighteen and now attending their first year of collage, a part from Lettuce who went to the other side of Japan to attend a top university. Pudding was fifthteen now and in highschool. Zakuro's modelling job had broadened over the world and she made a big success in her first American film. Ryou had gone abroad, dealing with technical issues and looking for the next band of Mew Mews over in Britian. Keiiricho owned his own private laboratory and was studying changes for the future that would improve the enviroment. Everyone's lives were so much different now. The Mew Mews had been gone far too long and over time the marks that proved who they were had also vanished.

Ichigo sat behind her desk and yawned.

"Another day, right?" Ichigo still hadn't lost her old charm.

Minto acknowledged her words. Ichigo yawned and stretched her arms across the dark, wooden desk. The class was still quite empty since it was only twenty minutes until class started. Ichigo sighed and slumped her chin onto the desk.

"I'm bored," Ichigo sighed again.

"Ichigo..." Minto looked down at her blacked laced shoes.

"Hai, Minto," Ichigo looked up the dark-haired girl.

"Do you think... Do you think, it's definatly all over?"

"Is what over?"

"The aliens. The Mew Mews."

"After all these years, you ask me now?"

"I know, it's stupid but I just get such a feeling when I think about it all."

"Oh Minto. It has to be over. I don't think after all this time they would come back. Plus the memory of that day is thick in my head."

Ichigo's mind ran back through her memories, back to that last day she ever saw Kisshu. Clear as crystal, she remembered his have curved smile and the gentle touch of his cold fingers. Masaya still counted, but he wasn't the one who brought her back to him. Kisshu, I think... In the end, you knew I loved Masaya and... You let me go, once and for all, Ichigo's mind rested on her thoughts.

Before she knew it, the day was approaching sunset and Ichigo waited outside her gate for Masaya. On time, he arrived at their little home. Masaya faced Ichigo and took hold of her hands, then kissed her lips softly. She smiled and they both walked into the pale blue door.

A shadow of a familiar figure floated down in front of the house. His dark, forest green hair fluttering in the the spring breeze.

"Ichigo..." he whispered as if pain thrived through his heart.

A tallish, scrawny boy with ruff, light brown hair leaned against the outside wall of the park. He wore long, dark shorts to his knees and a light, breezy top that was coloured a dark blue. His face was cheeky and childlike and he had big pointy ears from the side of his head. He put his right foot up onto the wall behind him and sighed happily. A girl -just shorter than the boy- with short, caramel-yellow hair and big happy, cheery eyes to compliment her big grin, wandered out from the park. She was dressed in a highschooler's uniform. She skipped out, not noticing the boy who stood there.

"Pudding?" the boy uttered.

His voice still the sound of a 10-year old but also showed a sign of matureness. The blonde girl turned around to face the boy behind her.

"Taru-Taru?" Pudding blinked at him.

"Pudding!" the boy exclaimed and jumped over to Pudding.

"Taru-Taru! It's you!"

Pudding squeeled happily and hugged her long lost friend.

"Taru-Taru, I've missed you so much!" Pudding grinned

"I've missed my best friend too, na no da!" Taruto laughed at his failed copy of Pudding's voice.

"Taru-Taru! I just can't believe it's you and all so grown up!"

"I thought I told you to not call me that! And yeah, I've become a real man!"

Taruto tried to pose like superman, but it was a failed attempt that made Pudding laugh some more. The two teens laughed again and hugged.

Ichigo leaned silently over her small balcony, that lead into her and Masaya's room.

"Kitty..." a cheeky yet familar voice whispered behind Ichigo.

She turned around and to her surprise a new Kisshu stood there. He wore the same shirt he did back five years aggo but it was tucked into a red silk parting between his pants (trousers) that also tucked into his long. brown boots. The ribbon-like material that trailed behind him moved with the wind's fierce power.

"Ichigo... You've changed..." Kisshu's voice sounded so sad but he still sounded like his old self that Ichigo remembered.

"K-Kisshu!" Ichigo was lost for words other than the obvious.

"I've missed you, my little kitten. Except you aren't a kitten now, you're a cat."

Kisshu wrapped his arms loosely around Ichigo's body. Just once, just once. I want her to tell me what I want to hear, Kisshu thought. His eyes were tightly closed and his hot breathe heaved against Ichigo's face. Ichigo obliged and hugged Kisshu back.

Kisshu, why are you here? Ichigo's thoughts rolled over and over in her mind. Why was Kisshu here?

Kisshu: Dramatic, I like it!

Mew Bubblegum: I'm glad you do!

Pai: Please review...

Taruto: REVIEW IT OR PAY!

Mew Bubblegum: Don't be rude. Please review, I'll appreciate it.
