It was snowing an inch most likely away from being a blizzard.

Ichigo ran from her pursuer breathing heavily. It was twelve at night and she was cold. She took a right and found it to be a dead end. 'No! No! This can't be happening! No!' She punched the brick wall in defeat. 'Why did Ryou make me leave my pendent behind today curse him!' She heard footsteps approaching the entrance of the alley way and then they passed by? Ichigo didn't move; she didn't even breathe she just stood there eyes fixed on the entrance. No noise. Ichigo decided to climb the wall rather than see if her pursuer was waiting for her. She climbed on top of a garbage can and swung one leg over the wall. 'You can do this!' she thought swinging the other leg over and landing in sight of the park. She barreled towards the park her only escape. Then a hand wrapped around her wrist. She struggled in the person grip.

"Let go of me!" she yelled at the figure. Instead of letting her go the figure turned her so she was facing him.

"You know your parents are very worried…hell you ever scared me half to death Koneko-Chan!" Said the figure that is obviously Kisshu. He put his hands on her shoulders and shook her slightly.

"Well what do you have to say for yourself?" he asked sort of angry now. Ichigo frowned then with a quick look around sighed in relief.

"I was…wait why the hell should I tell you?" she asked indignantly. Kisshu removed his hands from her shoulders and sighed.

"You have no reason not to tell me either…the battle is over remember," he said with a fanged smirk. A branch snapped and Ichigo most likely jumped ten feet in the air.

"Nyaa!" she yelled ducking behind Kisshu in fear of the pursuer.

"I guess you're a little skittish eh?" Kisshu's voice faded out when a figure stepped out of the bushes. It was a young man about in his early twenties and he was drunk as a skunk. Ichigo whimpered. Confusion was clear in Kisshu's expression. Te man smiles and walked towards them. Ichigo scooted back a foot hissing. The man laughed.

"Didn't get very far now did you strawberry?" he asked. Ichigo hissed again backing away. Kisshu snapped back to reality. This person was the reason why Ichgo hadn't gotten home on time. Kisshu growled at the man then looked back at Ichigo. She kept her eyes on the man in fear. Kisshu summand his Sais and stepped forward towards the man. Kisshu disappeared and reappeared behind him plunging the Sais through his back.

"Damn you…" whispered the man. Kisshu's eyes held no remorse at what he'd done. Ichigo's eyes went wide as she looked from the dead man to Kisshu. He turned to face her as she scrambled to her feet. 'Wow that's a relief…wait a relief? He just killed some body I should be terrified' Kisshu's Sais disappeared and he walked over to her. Ichigo was however frozen in place. He wrapped an arm around her waist and teleported her home. As he turned to leave Ichigo grabbed his arm stopping him. He turned around curious. Ichigo smiled at him.

"Thank you Kisshu" she whispered before much to his surprise pressing her lips to his. He gladly returned her kiss and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her into a hug. She in turn wrapped her arms around his neck. Ichigo pulled out of the kiss smiled at him then went inside to deal with the wrath of her parents.

"Happy New Years Kisshu" she whispered once she was inside.

"Happy New Years Koneko-Chan" whispered Kisshu happily before teleporting off to the aliens ship thingy ma bob.
