Thanks for the review and faves and 'watches'

Kisshu: aka she wants more reviews

Ichigo: i do not want more reviews thank you very much

Hawky: You may be my fav mew ichigo but i won't hesitate to make one of these very painful for you.

Ichigo: like you could make it more painful than whatever is in your mind right now

Hawky: are you challenging me?

Ichigo: o.o n-no *runs for dear life*

Kisshu: So until this get's ugly. Hawky doesn't own nor neverwill own Tokyo Mew Mew. although one can indulge in such fantasies...

A video was rolling the scene live from outside the cafe doors. The news reporter was practically interrogating the blonde-haired man herself, "Do you have anything to say about the disappearance of Ichigo?"

"She was working at the cafe earlier yesterday when her shift was over she was suppose to report to a meeting,"

"What type of meeting?" the reporter pressed.

"Let's admit it Ma'am, none of your business. She hasn't been seen since her shift was over. I would assume though from the lack of struggle inside that she went out the back way for unknown reasons. That is all." With that the owner of the cafe walked off to his building, opened the door-and when the reporter tried to get inside to review the other workers-slammed it right in front of her face.

Ichigo laid on the cold floor watching the screen-that had been there when she woke up-as it went to a commercial. Typical Ryou. She sighed and glanced longingly at the wardrobe that held her way out of here-kinda-she'd have to fight Kisshu to actually get out, but she couldn't, and she had missed her chance last night when Kish had been to angry to do anything as simple as restraining her. Now she had no hope of getting to the wardrobe even though she felt good enough to get up.

Upon awakening Ichigo had found that one of her feet had a chain around it attached to a leg of the bed, both metal so she definitely couldn't break her way out, and she hadn't found a keyhole either so it was really a wonder on how Kish had managed this.

She pressed her face against the cold floor wishing to be out of here. "when are the other mews going to be here?" she whispered to herself.

"You better hope they don't come here." his voice pierced through her like an arrow and tears filled her eyes while she kept them back. She certainly had no wish for him to put his tongue on her skin again. She felt his fingers warp around her chin and force her to look up at him. "You know I wouldn't have to do this if you just loved me, Ichigo."

"I love Masaya!" she screamed at his face.

His eyes remained blank though, apparently use to this behavior from her. "Ichigo," he murmured softly raising a long finger to trail under her eye causing her to flinch as the tears that had squeezed past collected on his finger. traitors! she wanted to scream to the tears for coming out to give him an excuse to touch her, but wait, he didn't need an excuse, he had stolen her first kiss after all, on their first real encounter at that! "stop thinking of him. it's just going to be you and me from now on after all." A shiver ran down her spine and his finger stopped from collecting the tears underneath her other eye. He was looking at her so calmly...

"What do you mean, 'from now on?'" she asked staring up at him in fear of what would happen if she accidentily said the wrong thing and made him snap like last night... she could still feel the way his teeth had worked at the holes making them wider inside. Yet the only thing you would see were eight small deep identical holes on her neck, when i get out of here i need to cover them up, if i get out. No! No! don't think like that. When she was done talking mentally to herself Kisshu was looking down at her with some emotion she had never noticed before. Her lips parted but his finger rested on her lips.

"ssshhhhhh." he hissed at her and then without answering her question and keeping the finger to her lips he brought out a small orb which she looked at in confusion wondering why he had gotten it out and what it was for. "Now, Ichigo," she turned her gaze from the odd crystal to him, "i'll show this to you only because i love you, okay?" she stared at him unsure what was so special about a orb, "nod your head if you understand." hesitantly she nodded her head slowly. Kish sighed softly. "Okay, so the rules are, that you don't freak out, don't ask to see that boy," her eyes widened at this. she was starting to get curious about the orb that lay on the ground not to far from her. "don't try to grab the orb, and that you only get this privilege when you're being good. Do you understand? Now this is a demonstration, Ichigo... you have a minute. Don't try speaking or yelling, they won't hear you." his finger dropped from her lips but he stayed there for another second staring into her eyes before teleporting.

When she lost eye contact with him she immedietly shook her head, hard.

"I'm worried of what could have happened." Lettuce's voice floated in the air.

Ichigo swung around to stare at the orb. "Lettuce?" she breathed. The orb's surface has changed to the inside of the cafe which was empty and had all the Mews gathered around, neither of the techs could be seen around.

"It was an alien!" Mint said slamming her fist on a table.

"B-but what if it wasn't? What if it was some normal creep?" Lettuce looked absolutely terrified of the possibilities she herself was coming up with. "Didn't she have a date with Masaya? Maybe she got lost on the way or..." she was cut of abruptly by Mint.

Mint had turned to frown at Lettuce. "It was none of those things! It's that alien creep Kisshu!" she insisted. "He abducted her!" she declared.

Lettuce's eyes had grown as wide as saucers.

"I don't like to jump to conclusions," Zakura began, "but that's the most possible."

"Y-you think?" Mint said turning to look at her hero.

Zakura's head was nodding when the image in the orb faded away.

It snapped Ichigo out of her happy trance of seeing them, they're looking for me! but... how long will it take them... The air shimmered around the orb, "No!" Ichigo shouted, trying to reach it, but it disappeared into nothing. She slumped to the ground defeated again.

"Kitty?" She whipped her head around to see Kisshu sitting on the bed eyes fixed on her intently.

She should have recognized the look but instead ignored everything she had told herself this morning and last night, in backwards order of course. "Did you see that? They'll be looking for me soon. They will find me, and then you be The One That's Sorry!"

His eyes sparked with fire. "Why do you keep doing this to yourself Ichigo?" He was in front of her after that sentence. His hand wrapped around her chin and drew her up towards him. "Don't you get it? They won't find you. If you ever go back to your world you'll be in love with me before I let you go, and you shall stay loyal to me, " he licked his lips at the thought, "and only me."

"No! Never! They will find me!" she shouted at him, "They will!" her voice broke as she said that last word and then she burst into sobs. She was uncertain if they would find her and she didn't want to admit it, but her body langue spoke for itself, showing Kisshu that he was hitting her weak spot every time he mentioned the subject.

Kisshu had a smile upon his face. "When they don't find you they'll eventually give up, and as the world is threatened you'll change to a second priority, and then gradually you'll slip to the lowest priority on their list and another thing takes that up because they'll forget you."

"Liar!" she hit full on in the chest but he didn't move an inch.

"It's okay though. They'll remember you longer than Masaya at least." he was smirking at her, flames dancing in his eyes.

"Masaya would never forget me!"

"Oh? Do you think your 'prince' will wait for you to be found? Do you think some other girl will stand on the side lines when you aren't there? After a few days your own parents will think your dead. What makes him so different?" The flame in his eyes grew suddenly as her mind spun with only the things he had said, all of them could happen if she didn't find a way out of here back to... "WHY DO YOU LOVE HIM AND NOT ME?" Kisshu's hands found her throat and raised her up in the air. Ichigo kicked in vain as she felt her oxygen wooshing out of her body soundlessly. "Tell me Ichigo! Why do you love that pathetic human?" He shook her as he shouted. Ichigo choked at the air her hands clawing at it all around her, but none of it was going into her body. "How could you love him and not me?" he stopped shaking her staring into her eyes. Her eyes met his filled with terror from his rage that bounced off the walls and back and forth in the room. "Answer me." he growled at her.

"i-c-n't-br-eeh." she struggled to make words with his hands closed tightly around her small throat.

Kisshu's eyes narrowed and he dropped her to the ground where she passed out.

When Ichigo's eyes finally opened her vision was foggy and she coughed lightly. Her vision slowly came into focus. The TV was gone, but a tray of food had appeared before her. That's when she felt hunger hit her harder than it ever had before and she drew herself up and forward to start eating from the plate. It was only after she was through half that her mind was unfogged enough to remember the last thing that had happened, Kish holding her in the air choking her, demanding answers from her, then falling back to the floor, to lie there unconscious. Kish... he was the only one that had could have put the food there.

Fear spread through her like a tsunami, what if he has poisoned it, or put something else in it to make her more cooperative? She backed away from the food and hugged her knees rocking back and forth concentrating on her mind to see if it changed in anyway.

"You should finish that," she lost concentration when she heard his voice again, "You've been out for awhile you know. I can't keep feeding you when you aren't awake it's kind of hard actually. What do they call those things on the screen? Movies? They make it look so much easier in those. Actually they make a lot of things look easier."

Her mind caught on multiple things he said and questions spilled from her onto the floor like blood. "How long have I been out? You couldn't have possibly fed me while I was asleep anyways..." the blood stopped when he moved his head to the side, he was perched on a dresser. Ichigo's breathed came out in a white cloud.

"I chewed it, then had you swallow. It's easy once you get the hang of it."

"W-what?" Ichigo was blushing furiously.

"Did you really think I'd let you starve Ichigo?" she blinked at him, he's using my name again... "The details aren't important anyways, your awake." she tried to interrupt him here, make him tell her the details, not knowing them made her scared. Wait. He had mentioned movies... something like that was in Princess Mononoke... her blush deepened immiedtly, his mouth and lips had been on hers when she was asleep... that was so... creeperish. "Although," his hand went up and he rested his head on it, "you were out for a week."

Her face was at a half-blush from embarrassment and anger from his eariler words when the other finals settled in. "A-a w-week?" she squeaked, sounding like a little mouse instead of the high and might predator, the cat.

"Yes. The Mews are still looking for you." he saw the hope shining in her eyes and snuffed it out quickly. "Of course they ran into a few friends of mine the second day. Poor them they had to retreat without you there to help." his gaze went intense. "There's still ten hiding in the city. They're a little preoccupied with catching them. Plus," his hand that had been in a fist loosened a bit, "i found this." he opened it fully for her to see the Mew Aqua. Ichigo's eyes went wide. "It was a good week. But the one's that are coming up will be better... much better." Ichigo's jaw tightened. "Oh, I have some news for your little human," he let his words sink in and saw her jaw loosen and a hopeful dreamy look go over her eyes, which sickened him. "A short-haired blonde asked him out." The look passed to shock instantly. "Know what he said? Sure." sure... but, but... that's what he said to me! "Oh don't look so glum. You still have me." he grinned at her.

Ichigo stared at him for a minute, not able to believe that, but she didn't believe Kisshu would lie to her either. Tears were running down her face when she came out of it. Kish appeared in front of her, leaned forward, and kissed each wet-salty spot. "I wouldn't do that to you kitten." he said halfway through, "You'll always be my number one." he kissed the last tear then began to press his lips to her own.

"uhn-n-ki-n-no!" she shoved him away and scrambled backwards. Ichigo stared at him horrified.

Kisshu teleported again so he was in front of her and quickly grabbed her arms to keep her still. "You'll be mine before I let you anywhere near that pathetic human." he hissed. Ichigo tried to back up again but Kish leaned forward so his weight was on top of her, he glared down into her eyes and she whimpered softly. "You are mine," he snarled. "and you will realize that soon enough." he disappeared with those words.

Ichigo let out a high-pitched sob as she fell back to the floor, her body shaking in fear now that it wasn't paralyzed. "M-masaya!" she screamed at the top of her lungs and it echoed oddly around the room. "H-how cou-ld y-u." she murmured in between sobs. Her chest hurt so badly... it felt like it would explode in any given moment. She rested her face against the cold floor once again and shut her eyes refusing to cry again as well. She drifted into an unpeaceful sleep.
