A/N: So this is my first TMM KxI ff. Please go easy on me I'm still a rookie. It's a pretty simple story with many twists and turns so stay tuned in please, it's a slow start but I have a lot planned. It's going to be a really fun ride!
Fixed! While reading this my friend spotted a bunch of Typo's they have been fixed an updated.
Also I'm sorry my grammar isn't the best but I have had people help me. (One of my fellow anime friends [you know who you are], and my mummy. So a thanks to them.) (Also if anyone would like to be my beta go right ahead)
======= I Promise this is defiantly a KisshuXIchigo, unfortunately I had to start it with IchigoXAoyama. But that's only for the plot line. Again I apologize. But the Amazing Kisshu-Sama shall arrive!
(IF I OWNED TOKYO MEW MEW ICHIGO AND KISSHU WOULD BE MARRIED BY NOW. 3)

"Damn, I lost..."
The words would still go through my head. The pure terror I felt as He threw you across the room to me, like you were nothing. Yet, you were never nothing, there was always something about you, that was how you were to me. When your body stopped sliding, I picked you up with so much care.
"I guess I was lucky to have this time with you, Ichigo" That's what you said to me, as I recall it so clearly.
I didn't want you to speak, I just wanted you to live. I couldn't stop myself, and the tears began to form. Even though you were about to die, you still spoke to me.
"Are you crying, Ichigo?"
Thats what you asked me. You used your last word on me. I could only think of our relationship. When you loved me, when you kissed me, when you teased me, when we fought, when you got possessive over me. I guess when I look back, when you gave up on me it broke me a little inside. I never ever wanted that to end, no matter how much you annoyed me.
Then you said,
" Ichigo, I'll teach you something good."
Then I spoke your name so soft, because I felt you were going to break. You leaned up with all your strength, and tried to place your lips upon mine, for a last kiss. But you never made it, you fell, you fell to your death. And I screamed your name. Screamed it so, so hard. Why? Our relationship wasn't that of lovers. You loved me but, I didn't even like you. I could dare to say that I hated you. So I screamed and I cried. Then forgot about you and only thought about Aoyama-kun...Why am I so selfish? Even now?

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Ichigo obnoxious alarm woke her up from her nightmare. Lying there for a second she thought about it. It had been a year ago this Saturday that those horrid events occurred. Then she felt it, the water on her face. It wasn't sweat, no, it was tears. Tears over Kisshu. Ichigo was still crying over Kisshu's death, even though he wasn't dead. Ichigo shifted her body to hit her alarm, 7:14. She had been thinking about this for 14 minutes!
'Crap! Crap! Crap!' Ichigo thought. 'I have to get to work!' Ichigo then proceeded to jump out of bed and run for her closet. Picking out a cute pair of white shorts, not too short of course. Then a very adorable white and pink horizontal striped tank top that poofed at the bottom, tucked into her shorts. Her beautifully silky strawberry hair in its traditional pigtail. Since last year it had started to get even longer Ichigo noticed.
Running down stairs Ichigo smiled and greeted her parents for eggs and bacon!
"Thank you Mama, Papa!" She said.
"Aw, Ichigo-chan, do you have to got to work today? It's a beautiful day." Ichigo's mother asked.
"Yes Mama. A beautiful day means a LOT of customers meaning full staff, meaning I do most of the work. Ecspecily since it's Sunday, which means no school," Ichigo sighed.
"Aw they work our Ichigo-chan too hard," My mom protested.
"It's O.K. Mama, Papa. It's been over a year I'm used to it," Ichigo said then smiled her heart warming smile. She slipped on her favorite pink low top Converse All Stars (AN:DONT OWN)
"They said their goodbyes then Ichigo left. She walked down to work. Looking at her watch it said 7:54. She was going to be super early, work didn't start till 8:30. Still she wouldn't risk it, it was nice to be early for once.
Ichigo slowly strolled to work all this time she thought about Kisshu. How much he teased her, taunted her, confessed to her, loved her, . . . Kissed her. 'Epp!' Ichigo turned the colour of her hair thinking about her and Kisshu's first meeting. How he literally dropped from the sky and kissed her. Then casually introduced himself. The nerve! The now enraged Ichigo barged into Cafe Mew Mew.
"Ah, Good Morning, Ichigo-san." Keiichiro greeted with his beautiful smile.
"Good Morning," Ichigo huffed and stomped upstairs bumping into Ryu on the way puzzling him with her bad mood. Shaking it off Ryu continued to walk downstairs.
Upstairs Ichigo was finished getting dressed when Pudding, Mint and Lettuce came in.
"Morning na no da!" The ever cheery Pudding greeted.
"Good Morning Ichigo-san," Lettuce said to the leader. She still had the same respect for all her dear friends.
"Hi," Mint said. Although much had changed in the year their relationship hadn't externally changed at all.
"Morning you three," Ichigo greeted back to them in a huff.
"What's wrong?" The observant Lettuce asked.
Ichigo openly admitted what was wrong seeing that Ryu wasn't here. She started by explaining her dream, they all nodded. This wasn't the first time Ichigo had had this dream. Of course they all had nightmares about the horrible day. It was just that Ichigo's was more frequent, after that she said how thinking of Kisshu and the way he would always act around her annoyed her. She also spoke about who she would miss it, walking to school with him following her there, it was the little things.
The truth was all the Mews missed the Aliens. Even Keiichro missed them a little, it was only Ryu that still had bad feelings toward them. But even so, all the Mews missed something of the old days. At least when we fought we had them teasing us behind our back. Now there's nothing, it's just so lonely without them here.
Yes, Aoyama-kun was still around for Ichigo. Yes, their relationship was still going strong. Yes, the relationship was different after the battle. That doesn't mean it was a good different.
Being Ichigo's first love is so special to her, but it's lonely. The thought of only ever-loving him. It would make life easier, but who ever really wants an easy path.
"Ichigo, Ichigo!" Mint was screaming at Ichigo.
Startled Ichigo started at Mint and said "Huh? What? Oh sorry I was in my own world there for a minute." relooking over at Mint and her friends it turned out they were already in their maid outfits and so was Ichigo. "I really was out of it, anyway I'm back now!" She said with a large grin. Of course it was a fake grin.
Of course the other could not shake the worried looks from their faces as Ichigo left to go down stairs.
After work was done and Ryu closed the shop Ichigo and the rest sat down for tea. They all thanked Keiichiro as he gave them some tea.
"Ichigo," Ryu barged in "What's up with you?" He asked
"Huh? Oh nothing really," she replied too quickly.
"It's very obvious something is wrong with you," Zakura said after sipping some tea.
"Yah whats wrong with Ichigo nee-chan? na no do." Pudding jumped into the conversation - literally.
"Oh, I just uh... Had a bad dream last night that's all," at least she wasn't lying to them now.
"What else?" Ryu continued to barge
"What do you mean what else?" Ichigo answered with a question
"If you had a nightmare, well ONLY a nightmare then you would have just come and told someone. But you wouldn't walk in all mad and continue through the day being mad. Even if the customers didn't notice we did,"
He had Ichigo cornered. Simple as that. How could he tell the rest of them especially Ryu that she had been thinking about Kisshu all day long. There is nothing worse she could be caught for thinking about. Every one in the Mew project that was alive knew that Kisshu loved Ichigo, and Ichigo constantly would reject him. Talking about how she now felt guilty over all this. She would break.
Sighing she began, "I had another nightmare about Kisshu's death. Because i've been having them a lot recently I have been thinking about him a lot. I was mad this morning because I was thinking about the nerve of him when we first met! Rrrr! It just got me so angry!"
Ichigo took a minute to compose herself then continued on. "Of course, I calmed down during work and after I talked to you three," Ichigo motioned to Pudding, Mint, and Lettuce. "And I started to think, of how much I must have hurt him," Then she broke, and thru her tears she continued on "I never thought twice about his feelings, and I don't know why. Is it because he isn't human? Because he was the enemy? But was he really? We were being selfish, why didn't we even try to share the planet. I mean that's a whole other species suffering because humans are so selfish." That was all Ichigo could say. There was so much more she wanted to say but, they couldn't know. They couldn't know the feelings she was only just discovering herself.

Three days flew by without a nightmare. The only dreams Ichigo had were the really sweet ones, with only her and Aoyama-kun. In the dreams they would be walking down a natural path, with Sakuras on either side of them. The pink flowers blowing off into the wind; or was it the future? Ichigo would look at Aoyama-kun, his face as perfect as it always was. They would talk about the many things, ways to save the planet or maybe of different animals or plants. They didn't talk of love or their relationship, only of other things.
Ichigo would always wake up when Aoyama-kun turned to her and said "I Love You." She would respond "I Love You Too.". After that they would continue to hold hands, and just look into each others eyes. 'How peaceful.' How nice'. Those were their only thoughts. Somehow when Ichigo woke up she would get disappointed. She could never figure out why. She began to assume it was because the thoughts had nothing to do with the person they were starting at. If they didn't think about them, then were the only true spoken words without a meaning?
Then looking over to her clock she would realize she was running late for school. That along with Masha nudging at her yelling "Ichigo late! Ichigo late!"
Throwing her school uniform on she ran out the door without eating breakfast. Arriving at the usual time, after the normal run, Ichigo sat in her seat. Class went by fast for Ichigo, mainly because she was asleep. Her friends woke her up for lunch, and when they got back to class Ichigo was awake. When the end bell rang Ichigo walked home alone. Aoyama-kun had kendo practice and he told her not to trouble herself by coming and getting bored.
Life for her was going back to normal after her little confession on Sunday's evening. After she admitted what was wrong the other Mews helped her reform herself. They kept watch on her and now she was almost better. She was still feeling guilt tugging at her heart but it was lessening with the help of her friends.
She didn't tell Aoyama-kun, he would be to sensitive to the subject of Kisshu. So Ichigo just told him there was a little misunderstanding within the Mews that got her worked up. He accepted it, and told her to come to him if she was ever in trouble. Sweet, kind Aoyama-kun
He was always there to walk her home, or to the cafe after school. Most of the time he could walk her home after work. Lucky for Ichigo last Sunday wasn't one of those days. As Thursday's sun set Ichigo walked outside to her balcony. It was so beautiful, how the sun shone through her tree. As Ichigo smiled at the beauty, a voice spoke to her.
"It's been a long time, Koneko-chan,"
