Chapter 1

Mark lay dying on the floor as Ichigo stood over him and let out a small laugh. "Are you coming kitty cat?" Asked Dren from the other room.
"One minuet!" she smiled
"Help me… pl…ease…" his words faded into the night. Ichigo laughed again and turned to Dren "Huh, guess you were right"
"Yep, never doubted it" Dren grinned, taking Ichigo in his arms. "Now, tell me kitty, what do you wanna play?"
"I think you already know…"
"Prove it."
"If you want." Ichigo pondered for a brief moment before concluding that having sex with an alien in front of her ex-boyfriend's corpse would be a little strange… but she couldn't care less. She tucked her hair behind her ear and pouted. She then began to unbutton Dren's shirt, he laughed and Mark groaned in agony, Ichigo echoed Dren's laughter. With shaking hands she traced Dren's stone smooth chest, he grabbed them and placed them on his waist "Your new at this, I'll take it from here." Ichigo wondered whether Dren had done this before or whether he was just trying to sound hard. But her mind drifted as she felt his lips on her neck. "Don't worry my kitty I'll look after you."
"I know, but after all you are MY ball of string." She pushed him to the floor.
"Ok kitty… let's play."

Mark's eyes never left Ichigo and Dren, but they were glassed over, no life in them. Dren and Ichigo really didn't care who was watching, dead or alive, they were having too much of a good time. Two hours later there was a knock at the door, Ichigo and Dren in a blind panic they pulled on whatever clothes they could find.
"Are you to ready?" came Mints familiar voice from behind the front door. They exhaled in relief it was someone that they knew. "Yep almost." They chorused. Ichigo picked up her pink panelled suitcase. They side by side walked casually out the door and shut it behind them. Leaving Mark alone.

It was time for the aliens to go home, but wasn't going to stop the Mew's and the boys going with them. In the five years since they had last fought, friendship and love had bloomed between them. Pudding and Tart had become best friends but on Pudding's last birthday she had fallen in love with him and Tart with her. Lettuce and Pie were engaged and of course Ichigo had always loved Dren but she had never emitted it until earlier that day. Zakuro and Keiichiro had been married three months. Last but not least no one knew what was going on with Mint and Ryou.

"So how are we getting there?" Asked Mint after they had walked for about fifteen minutes "my arms hurt!"

"You should have packed lighter then." Dren teased. Mint dragged her two extra large suitcases along the ground. "It was impossible to pack any lighter then this! Can't we stop for a bit?"

"It's just a little further." Reassured Pie. With that there was a loud crash as the entirety of Mints baby blue suitcase, emptied its self across the moon lit pavement. "Screw this!" she grunted and sat down. Ryou calmly picked up every piece of designer clothing that fell out and folded it neatly up back in the case. "I'll carry it." He mumbled. Every mew stared at him as he walked coolly past. Mint stared after him for a few seconds before returning to earth. Everyone looked at her with knowing smiles "I was just thinking that he would suffice as a replacement for one of my maid's" Mint quickly snubbed. "Sure Mint" Ichigo laughed and took Dren's hand without thinking. Dren's eyes grew in surprise and shook her off quickly, looking down at her he winked and her heart skipped.

"Are you lot coming?" Ryou cried, Mint jumped to her feet and sprinted towards him, her other case in tow. All the others laughed, they began walking again, but Dren held Ichigo back. She turned to face him and a pair of lips brushed hers "careful kitty, do you want everyone about your new ball of string?" he mumbled "your not exactly taking precautions" she panted as his lips moved to her neck. Dren pulled her closer and she felt wind rushing past her face, when he set her back on her feet she reached for him, but he restrained her "and that's how you teleport…" Dren said and glanced at the others. "Oh…um…yes, thank you Dren" Ichigo caught on and beamed at the others. Zakuro and Keiichiro were in a passionate embrace, Tart and Pudding were laughing at Lettuce who was stumbling over Pie in an embarrassed flounder. Her eyes drifted to Ryou and Mint, they were each sitting on a different suitcase, staring at the other. Ryou's jaw stiffened and he got to his feet, offering a hand to Mint; he pulled her up and kissed her on the cheek. He turned away quickly and briskly walked towards Pie. Mint stood her hand on her cheek, a smile painted her lips.
Ichigo was going to call her, but stopped when Ryou glanced back at Mint, she nudged Dren "Look at Mint and Ryou" she whispered. Mint winked at Ryou and blew him a kiss, he stood, his eyes wide with a stunned expression clouding his face. "That's Mint alright" Dren laughed quietly.

They eventually arrived at the café. "Our ride should be hear soon." Commented Tart. The mews sat gracefully down on to their suitcases. The boys stood protectively over their girl. "This is boring!" Pudding squealed a few minutes later. "Don't worry, honey, it'll be here soon." Tart said and kissed her lightly on the cheek. "Ok then" Pudding sighed. Ironically at that moment a bright purple, luxury space-hotel hovered over the café. "Here we go!" Dren yelled over the sound of the ships monstrance turbine engines. A long tube came down from the ship to where they were standing and the doors opened revealing a wooden panelled lift. "That's not big to fit us all in!" Pudding despaired.

"We'll go in two at a time." Dren grinned staring at Ichigo.

"Yes that should work." she grinned back.

They each paired up and two by two went inside. Last to enter were Mint and Ryou. "So…" Mint began. Ryou raised his head and looked into her hazel eyes. "What?"

"Nothing." She stated and looked down at her feet. With out her noticing he gently wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned his head close to her ear. "Ok then." With a loud bing the lift came to a halt and he unravelled him self from her. The doors then opened again to show the inside of the ship; an old fashion hotel lobby presented its self to the pair. Their friends were signing in. "Don't wait for us then." Mint growled and ran towards them.
