Chapter 2Kish vs. Ryou
Ichigo was walking happily on her way to the Mew Mew café, when suddenly Masha appeared infront of her.
"ICHIGO! ICHIGO! Alien! Alien!" Masha reported to her repeatedly. His loyalty to Ichigo cannot be compared to anyone.
"Alien? Masha could you tell me moooore details?" Ichigo told Masha with her questioning look.
"Ha-i!"
"So Masha??" Ichigo's heart pumped faster. She feels so nervous about it. She asked herself, why she feels something like this. She never felt this way before.
"ALIEN! ALIEN! AT MEW MEW CAFÉ!" Masha reported to Ichigo.
"WHAT?!" Ichigo dashed to the café. She is worried about Mint, Pudding, Lettuce, Zakuro, and Keiichiro and of course Ryou. And when she reached her destination, her brown eyes became wide. She cannot believe what she saw! It was Kish wearing the former uniform of Masaya. It fitted to him perfectly, infact, he looks so cool! But for Ichigo, there's no more time for that. She walked towards the room where Ryou stayed while stumping her feet.
"SHI-RO-GA-NE!!!!!" She screamed at his face.
"Why do you look so angry?" Ryou told her with a grin on his face as if he doesn't know why she was frustrated. As he placed his attention to her eyes, he noticed that it was burning in fire! For the first time, Ryou felt afraid of her.
"YYYOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUU ASK ME, WHY???????" She screamed on the top of her lungs. Ryou felt really afraid of her but not only him, but also Keiichiro, Mint, Pudding, Lettuce, Zakuro and the customers! Then, she pointed at Kish who's just smiling at her.
"WHY DOES HE NEED TO WORK HERE?! WHY DID YOU ACCEPT HIM FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF MY MASAYA?!" She continued to scream as she's a fire-breathing dragon. Because of all her screaming, she didn't notice that Kish is already beside her. Kish then, brushed his soft lips against hers and said, "Long time, no see, my koneko-chan! I told you awhile ago that I will see you again and that's the reason I'm here." He looked at her with an innocent face smiling face of course.
"Wh-what?!" Ichigo looked surprised. She never felt this way even with Masaya. There is something about this feeling. Kish whispered to her ear "Why do you looked so shocked? I always do that to you, don't I? Oi, Ichigo, shouldn't you be dressing up? Or maybe……"
"WHAT?!"
Kish raised his voice enough to be heard all through out the café.
"YOU WANT ME TO COME WITH YOU! TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF AND TTHHHEEEENNNN GAZE AT YOUR IRRESISTABLE BODY WITH PASSION!!!!"
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!" Ichigo looked at him as if he's a cockroach that REALLY irritates her. Immediately, Ryou Protected Ichigo from the harsh words given by Kish.
"Though I accepted you to work here at my café, you're not allowed to say such things to Ichigo!" Ryou told Kish like a mother would and as for Kish, he looks like a small child who's about to cry because of his mother.
"Get back to work!!" Ryou added
"Hai…." Kish answered.
After Kish went out of the room, Ichigo bursted into laughter.
"Oh, Shirogane-san, you made me laugh!! You're so cute when you scolded Kish! You look like mom!" as she told Shirogane about it. Ryou looked at her. Her smile was so sweet; it could take away anyone's loneliness.
"Oh, really? Well, glad to see you're happy and smiling again. I'll be going then. Hurry up and change your clothes." He patted her red-haired head and went outside.
Few minutes later…
Ichigo went to Ryou. She wanted to ask him why DID he accept Kish as the replacement of her Masaya.
"Shirogane-san….." Ichigo looked at him in the eyes and started to utter the words that she needed to ask.
"Um….. May I ask you something?"
Ryou smiled and answered her, "So, Ichigo, how come you're behaving well all of the sudden? Anyway, why did you come to me? Is there anything wrong, Ichigo? And you better hurry up."
Ichigo's tears overflowed her eyes and one by one, tears come down from her yes.
"What's the matter, Ichigo?" Ryou was starting to worry about her. He had never seen Ichigo cry like this before.
"S-sorry for c-crying (sniff..) all of a s-sudden… I'm not really g-good in hiding my emotions…. (sniff…) Damn it! They can't stop flowing down from my eyes! (more sniffing)"
Since Ryou liked her in the first place, he wrapped his arms around her closer to her chest. Ichigo then turned into crimson red.
"It's okay…. Tell me what's bothering you…. 'coz I hate you seeing you cry like this…." He comforted her with his sweet words and his warm body.
"Really?" Ichigo looked at him.
"Yeah, really." He responded.
Ichigo suddenly had the urge to hug him back.
"Shirogane….."
"Hmmmmm?" That's all he can say.
"Why did you accept Kish? You know he's our enemy. He is an alien…"
Ryou wiped her tears and said; "He told me that his planet was already saved through the help of mew aqua and he doesn't have any negative intention for us that's why we believed him"
"B-but.." That's the only word that she can utter as she cried harder. Suddenly, she found herself buried to his chest. He lifted his chin, wiped her tears away and said; "Don't cry now…. It pains me when you are sad….. Just concentrate to your work and ignore Kish as of he's not there."
"alright…… um……… ano……. Ryou?"
"Yeah?"
"Could we stay like this a little longer? I feel very comfortable with you in times like this…."
Ryou flustered red. He had never heard Ichigo talked to him like this before. He always heard her screaming and complaining at him all the time.
"Um… sure…"
Ichigo hugged him tighter and Ryou hugged him back. He never felt so wonderful.
After ten minutes, Kish entered to the room where Ryou usually stayed. He just wanted to ask him about the new cakes made by Akasaka-san. His eyes widened. He cannot believe what his two golden eyes saw. Ryou was………. Hugging…… Ichigo…… Emotions of jealousy, anger and confusion had overcome him. His eyes are burning, his lips had dried and he closed his fist. He dashed to the direction where Ryou and Ichigo where staying. He grabbed Ichigo's arms and held her possessively. He just realized that Ichigo was sleeping and her top was seemed kinda wet. He suddenly got SO worried and thought 'what the hell happened between Ryou and my kitten? Did he tried to force her to…… NO….. THAT CAN"T BE?!'. Suddenly had just awakened and uttered, "Ryou??..." Kish hugged her tighter and glared at Ryou. His golden eyes looked so frightening, it could kill a fly…
"Shirogane!!! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HER?! WHY DOES SHE LOOK SO HURT AND SAD? I HATE HER SEEING LIKE THIS…"
"I didn't do anything to her, infact I comforted her with my warmth." He grinned at Kish and retrieved Ichigo her back beside him. He slowly laid Ichigo on his sofa, sat beside her and let her head rest on his lap to make her feel comfortable. Lastly, he kissed her forehead and Ichigo continued to sleep peacefully. Ryou glared at Kish like a small boy would do if ever anyone wanted to steal his toy.
"How dare you! Ichigo is mine!" Kish protested.
"What?! How dare I?! It's not me who made her cry but it's you, Kish!" Ryou retorted.
"ME?!" Kish told him curiously yet with the tense of his anger that he's feeling inside.
"Of course! You and only you can make her cry like this!"
"……." Only silence was given by Kish to what he said.
"I tell you, if you will not be able to please MORE THAN 10,000 YOUNG LADIES within one month, you are not deserving for Ichigo." He challenged.
"So, if I will be to please MORE THAN 10,000 YOUNG LADIES, I am deserving for Ichigo" concluded by Kish.
"Probably……." Ryou answered him with a straight looking face.
"And you'll leave Ichigo and I alone" Kish added.
"IF you will able to do my challenge but if you didn't accomplish your task successfully, Ichigo will be mine." Ryou faced him with confidence
"Alright! It's a deal!" Kish smiled at him. He can feel that he can win this challenge and they closed their contract with a hand shake. After their handshake, they saw Ichigo who was about to wake up.
"Ryou?... Kish?... What are you two doing here??" Ichigo asked curiously. Kish walked towards her, lifted her chin and leaned forward until their faces was about 10 cm a part and told her; "You'll be mine koneko-chan. Just wait for me, ok?"
"W-what?!" Ichigo answered him in surprise.
"I'll be gong then, kitten. I have to do an important task."
As he walked towards the door, Ichigo rose up and sit comfortably beside Ryou.
"So, how did you feel when our bodies met? Did you feel comfortable? ... Was it too tight? Do you want to do it again? ... This time TIGHTER?!" He gave her a grin while hugging her.
"How dare you! You pervert! BAKA! You took advantage of me when I was vulnerable! ... When I was lonely and hurt" She scolded at his face.
He hugged her tighter and because of that hug, Ryou could feel her chest. "Nice chest you've got there! I didn't thought of that earlier! I didn't even notice it! I thought you have small chest….. But now that I can feel it, it seems kinda big….. but not as big as the other mew mews. You know, when you are a far, you seemed flat chested. He teased her again. Ryou noticed that she was blushing.
"Why are you blushing then?" Ryou teased her.
"W-w-what?! N-no, I'm not! ..." She stuttered immediately then ran away.
"Same old Ichigo, that's why I really like you," He murmured to himself.
As Ichigo run along the hallway, her friends blocked her way.
"What's the matter, everyone?" Ichigo asked with a puzzled face.
"Onee-chan! Onee-chan! Kish! Kish!" Pudding reported her repeatedly.
"What about Kish?! Did he do anything wrong?!"
"He's acting so weird since he went out from Ryou's Office." Zakuro answered calmly.
"By the way, what did you do in Shirogane's Office?" Mint asked her curiously.
""I………………….. We……………." Ichigo blushed and then her cheeks turned red as her hair.
"WE HUGGED EACH OTHER." A voice coming from behind them interrupted. When they looked back to see where that voice came from, they saw that it was Shirogane Ryou.
"WHAT?!" The four looked so shocked about it.
"Shirogane-san………" Lettuce murmured his name.
"There's no wonder why Kish was acting like that." Mint concluded.
"So, what's with Kish?" Ichigo and Ryou asked the four mew mews in chorus.
"Well, go to the serving area of the café." They answered them.
When they reached the serving area…..
"W-what happened to him?!" Ichigo looked very shocked about this issue. Her jaw fell to the ground.
"Not good! Not good enough!" Ryou yelled at Kish.
Kish winked at Ichigo. 'Kish was acting SO WEIRD' Ichigo thought. He keeps on flirting with girls in the café. Every girl that went inside the café, Kish would flirt would with them. And almost all of them fell in love with him.
"Onee-chan, Onee-chan, he is acting SO different today!! He's like Tamaki in Ouran High School Host Club!" Pudding cried to Ichigo.
"Who's Tamaki? What is Ouran High school Host Club?" Mint asked.
"I watched that anime in DVD!" Pudding replied.
"Baka yaro! Kuso! Sukatoro!" That's what can Ichigo utter for that time. She doesn't know why but she feels jealous to the girls and she felt irritated towards Kish.
"Let's just go back to work!" Ryou commanded.
After a long day of work
"Oi, Ryou!" Kish cried.
"Yeah?" Ryou answered him.
"500 for the day!" He boasted at him.
"Well, quite good but not that good enough." Ryou grinned at him.
Ichigo was about to go home…..
"Bye everyone! I need to go now!"
"I'll walk you home" Ryou suggested.
"B-but…." Ichigo answered hesitantly.
"It's alright, ne, Kish?" Ryou looked at Kish as if he planned something.
"Yeah…. Right!!!! WHATEVER!!!! I'll catch up later!" Kish shouted with its annoyed face.
"Well then, it's decided!" He announced with a peace sign on his hand.
"I guess I have no choice but to let you walk with me…." She told Ryou with her very cute irritated face.
"Let's get going then!' Ryou cried with happiness.
On their way home
As they walked to her house, they cannot utter any word. They cannot start a subject that is suited for them. Silence was all over the place. Too much silence made Ichigo tense; she can feel her heart, beating faster. Ryou feels also the same way. The silence was broken by a crying voice. The voice is coming from the somewhere and as they walked towards the empty, quiet, dark street, the crying voice becomes louder and louder. Then, suddenly they heard a scream. Ichigo immediately hugged Ryou because of her fright. Her cat ears and tail popped out.
"Shi-shi-shi-ro-ga-ne???" Ichigo find it hard to utter a single word. Ryou found her shuddering but at the same time, he finds her cute because of her characteristic of being afraid of ghost.
"Ichigo??? Are you scared of ghost? But they are not true! But seriously, you're afraid of ghost?" he asked her. Ichigo nodded. That is the only answer she can give to Ryou. She was too afraid of ghost that's why even a simple word, she finds it hard to pronounce.
"Let's find out if it's really a ghost." Ryou told her bravely. Ichigo realized that Ryou was not afraid of ghost.
"B-but…. I-I'm….. s-scared…." Ichigo demanded in fear. She tried to pull Ryou to the other way but he resisted.
"There's nothing or no one that can hurt you because I am here by your side. I will protect you. Trust me!" He convinced her.
"A-alright…. B-but….. p-promise….. m-me….. t-that… y-you….. w-will…… n-not…. L-leave…. Me……"
"Alright, I promise." Ryou told her. He pulled her near to his chest and held her hands tightly.
"Start walking, Ichigo."
As they continue to walk, the voice becomes clearer. They stopped for a while because they heard that the mysterious voice was going to their direction.
"SHI-SHI-SHI-SHI-RO-RO-GA-GA-NE!!!!!!!!!!!!" She called his name. She was turning to pale.
"Hold on, Ichigo!" He told her. As the voice came closer, a figure was starting to form. As they focus on the figure, Ichigo's heart beated faster. She felt that she was about to faint. Ryou felt that Ichigo's grip was getting tighter. Then suddenly, the figure dashed to their direction. Ichigo wanted to run but her body won't obey her. Then the figure hugged her.
"GGGGGYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAA!!" She screamed to death.
Then she heard Ryou laughing like there is no tomorrow. She looked at Ryou and shouted at his face.
"NANI?!"
"Look who's hugging you?! I told you there's no such thing as ghosts!" He giggled. When Ichigo looked down to see who is hugging her, she saw a child about 4 yrs. Old. She has a red hair like Ichigo's and blue eyes like Ryou's. Then, the child looked at Ryou and Ichigo and pointed them.
"Mama!! Papa!!! I found you!" She told them gladly. Ichigo and Ryou looked puzzled at each other.
"Mama? Papa?" They answered. They really looked shocked. Ryou carried the child and comforted her.
"Papa and Mama! I missed you!" The child cried and cried to Ryou. Then he gave the child to Ichigo.
"May I ask your name?" Ichigo asked.
"Mama, you don't love Yumei anymore! You don't remember her!" She cried.
"Is she stupid or what?" Ryou whispered to Ichigo's ear.
"Sshhh… Don't cry now, Yumei…." She told her as she comforted her.
"You now remember me, Mama!'
Again Ryou whispered to her,"Is she that stupid? Of course you will know her name because she told you awhile ago."
"Why are you here?" She asked Yumei.
"You were fighting each other awhile ago…. That's why is I left our house and ran away." Yumei answered Ichigo with her tears. Ryou carried Yumei.
"We're not fighting…. Don't cry now….. Sleep now and we'll go home…." He comforted LYumei with his mellow voice.
"Alright……" She told him. Her eyes were so sleepy because of crying too much.
When Yumei was already fell asleep.
"So, what willl we do, Shirogane-san" Ichigo asked him.
"Are you that stupid?" Ryou teased her.
"I'M NOT STUPID! I'm asking you how we will get her home. We don't know her and we also don't know where she lives?" She told Ryou with all the worry in her face.
"Her parents fought each other, that's why she ran away. Maybe we looked like her parents and that's the reason why she had mistaken us as her parents" Ichigo added.
"You're not really a good observer, Ichigo." Ryou concluded with his hands on his chin.
"WHAT??!!"
"You didn't even looked at her. She still is wearing her uniform and her I.D. was still in her pocket. You can find her address at the back of her I.D.! You're not really using your head!" Ryou provoked.
"FINE!! Whatever!" She glared at Ryou with really scary eyes.
On their way to Yumei house
"You know, I haven't seen my parents fighting before. They are my ideal couple. How about you?" She looked at his face and saw his reaction changed. His happiness turned into a gloomy face.
"What's the matter, Shirogane san?" She asked Ryou curiously. She wanted to seek for an answer..
"Didn't Keiichiro tell you that my parents were killed by a chimera animal? They died when I was young. And that's why I have few memories about them." Ryou stated to her. Ichigo was shocked that Ryou was actually expressing his feelings to her.
"'I…. I am sorry, Ryou….. Gome Nasai…" She felt pity for him.
"Didn't I tell you not to feel sorry for me and you agreed." He told Ichigo.
"Do you want to be a cat again?" He added and smirked at her. Ichigo remembered suddenly that in order to be a cat, she needs to be human form and be kissed. She is in human form and Ryou was with her. She quickly imagined what could happen to them. She blushed.
"Oh! Here we are!" Ryou announced to Ichigo.
"Alright! I'll be the one to press the doorbell since you're the one carrying Yumei." She suggested.
After Ichigo pressed the doorbell, Yumei parents ran towards the gate. Ryou and Ichigo was to see them. They really do look like them.
"Thank you very much! Arigato Gozaimasu!" Yumei's mother and father told them.
"Not at all." Ichigo told them.
"We'll be going then." Ryou then, hold Ichigo's hand tightly and started to walk.
When they reached Ichigo's house
"See you tomorrow!" Ryou waved goodbye to Ichigo.
"Hai!"
as she entered inside their house
"Okaeri Nasai Ichigo!" Her mother greeted her lively. "Who's that hot guy who just walked with you?" Her mother added.
"Is he the replacement for Masaya? Is HE your boyfriend?" Then her mother giggled.
"No, HE'S NOT!"
"Why are you blushing then?"
"NOTHING!!!"
"Oh well, help me prepare the dishes. Your father will be here soon."
"Hai!"
"More than 10,000 young ladies, eh? Nice move Shirogane-san! But I will accomplish my task for my Ichigo!" He murmured to himself on his way to Ichigo's house. He was about to turn left when he suddenly bumped on a man whose carrying 3 boxes. The man fell with his boxes so does Kish.
"I'm so sorry sir! I'm not looking on my way! Sorry!" Kish cried.
"No, it's not your fault! It's mine! I carried too many boxes that's why I didn't saw my way. I'm sorry" He apologized.
"It's fine. Do you mind if I help you carry your boxes?" Kish asked him politely.
"If you're going to help me, that would be great! Since you're the one suggested it, I'll let you carry this one!"
When Kish carried the man's box, he noticed that it was too light for him.
"May I also have the other one?" He requested to the man.
"Why? Is that not enough for you? Each box is quite heavy." He looked at Kish and he was shocked to see him carrying the box with only one hand.
"It's very light."
"Alright, if you say so." And then, he gave the other box to Kish. He noticed that the man was taking the route to Ichigo's house. When suddenly the man spoke to him," I have a daughter and she's helpful as you are."
"Really?"
"I think you're compatible to each other."
"What's the name of your daughter, sir?" He asked him curiously.
"You'll find out later." He teased her.
"alright…"
"ah! Here we are!" He announced. Kish's golden eyes widened. He cannot believe what his two golden eyes saw. It was the house of his precious kitten.
"Let's go in!" The man told Kish.
When they went inside the house
"Ichigo! Sakura! Tadai ma!" He cried. Ichigo dashed towards his daddy and gave him a tight hug.
"Dad! You're already here! What took you so long?! What is this box for?"
"This is my documents, magazines and some of the new things we will out in our house!"
She didn't notice Kish because of the two boxes he was carrying.
"Help that guy over there. He was so kind! He helped me in carrying these boxes and for me, you are compatible with him." Her father added.
"Oh dad, that's not a good joke!" She giggled. And when she carried the top box that the guy was carrying, she was shocked to see Kish smiling at her. Kish was the one who helped her father! Her brown eyes glared at him and her heart beated faster. The new feeling about Kish is there again.
"KISH!!??" She cried.
Her father looked so shocked.
"You know each other?"
"Yep, she's my classmate" Kish answered him proudly.
"Well, if that's the case, I will entrust to you, Ichigo. I like you for my daughter that that Masaya person!"
"Alright!" Kish told him. "I'll be going now, then" He added.
"Okay, Kish. Take care!" Ichigo's father waved goodbye.
After Kish left, Ichigo and her parent's started eating their dinner.
"so, Ichigo, you have already known that Kish?" Her mother asked her.
"He's my classmate" She answered her. 'He stole my first kiss….' She told herself but its not right to tell her parents about that issue. Her dad will surely make a scandal out of that issue.
"So, Ichigo, do you want him to be your husband? He seems so nice! I do really like him to be your husband." He said and he gave her crocodile tears.
"Oh Dad! Lets just stop this topic and proceed to the next one….."
"Why?" Her father looked at her and gave her puppy eyes.
"Oh dad! I don't like that look! Well, May I excuse myself? I want to take a long hot bath."
"Alright, dear…"
As Ichigo takes a bath in her beloved bath tub…
"Oh Kish! Why do you want to make me suffer?"
"Welcome to the Mew Mew Café!" Kish greeted their customer with his innocent smile and his closed eyes. As he opened his eyes, he cannot believe what he saw. It was Aoyama Masaya! He came back from England! Then, he heard Ichigo running towards Aoyama.
"AOYAMA-KUN! YOU'RE BACK!" She shrieked. She hugged him tightly. Tears of joy were falling down.
"Of course, I am, my princess"
Then, Masaya walked towards Ryou's office and Kish was secretly following him.
"May I take Ichigo for awhile?"
"Of course but make sure you will return her……….. TO ME?!" He gave a smirk on Masaya.
"I'll think about it!" Masaya teased Ryou.
"Nice try!"
After their conversation, Masaya went to Ichigo and walked happily with her. When they reached outside, Masaya hugged her tightly. Then, he noticed that Kish was at his back. 'Damn that black idiot' Kish told himself.
"So, my follower, how are you?" He told Kish.
Kish looked really surprised! It's not Masaya but it was Deep Blue; using the innocent face of Masaya. On the other hand, Ichigo didn't realize that it was Deep Blue, and whatever reason it is, Ichigo cannot hear Kish.
"Ichigo! ICHIGO!!" He called her real name.
"No matter how you try, she's mine now."
"What will you do with her?!"
"um…. Maybe a little bit of this….. and a little bit of that." He told Kish impishly. He's planning something to Ichigo.
"NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" He screamed.
BBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!
Kish fell out of his bed.
"A nightmare, huh? It's been 29 nights I've been dreaming of that stupid nightmare! What could it possibly mean?" Kish said. "Even though it's late at night, I better check my koneko-chan."
Ichigo's backyard
Kish is standing at the branch of a tree near Ichigo's Balcony.
"Wrong timing! Her curtain is blocking the view!" He murmured. "I guess I have to teleport in her room…" He added.
Ichigo's Room
"She's not here? Where could she be?' He asked himself. Suddenly, he heard the knob from the bathroom twisting. He tried to teleport himself but his energy was not enough. The effect of the potion is still working. He's still human and he used up his powers already…. His heart beated faster. He doesn't know what he will do next…..

Sneak Peak at Chapter 3:
"Oh my gosh!" He cried.
"Nani?"
"I'm sorry kitten……" Was the only phrase, he can answer to her.
She stood up and raised her voice, "WHY KISH?! WHAT HAPPENED?! WHY ARE YOU APOLOGIZING TO ME?!"
"Ano….."
"WHAT?!"
"If a male alien kisses the girl he loves three times, THE GIRL WILL DEFINITELY BE HIS FOREVER. The proof that will be left on the girl's body is a bangle on her right hand……"
"That means……." She told him nervously.
