Mr. Toko: Hello, guys! I don't like ranting so I will just start the Story now!

I don't own TMM!

On with the Story!

Kazoku

(A.N: Kisshu already told his name to Sakura while they were walking.)

"Welcome back, Honey, how- WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!" Shintaro shouted as he saw his wife carry a blood-stained boy into their house. Sakura looked at him with a slight glare.

"Please keep your voice down! The poor boy barely can stand and now you have to scream, even though he can hear you when you whisper!" Sakura scolded and Shintaro sighed before he came over and picked the half-sleeping alien up, bridal-style and he was shocked how light the boy was.

"Nnnn …" Kisshu moaned in pain as Shintaro shifted a bit. The green-haired alien's eyes closed as his cheeks flushed a bit.

"Put him into the guest room and please make sure he stays awake till I come; I will get the first aid kit!" Sakura said and she rushed into the bathroom to get all the things she needed. Shintaro in the meantime brought the amber-eyed alien upstairs into the guest room. The older man put Kisshu onto the light green bed and put a chair next to the bed, sitting down as he watched Kisshu, who moaned and winced in pain.

(A.N: The room was a lime colour, also, a greenish-yellow, like a not so ripe lemon, I think.)

"Y-You … are Ichigo's … father …?" Kisshu whispered, weakly and Shintaro looked at him.

"You know my daughter?" Shintaro asked.

"H-hai … a very fascinating girl … I have to say …" Kisshu said, forcing a weak chuckle and Shintaro smiled at that.

"How come you know her?" Shintaro asked and Kisshu looked at him, slightly frowning.

"She didn't tell you … that she is a … Mew Mew …?" Kisshu asked in a whisper and Shintaro stared at him as if he was crazy.

"Ichigo never even mentioned that!" Shintaro said loudly, feeling his blood boil at the thought that Ichigo kept the most dangerous thing in her life a secret.

"Don't worry … I made sure … that she didn't get … hurt too badly …" Kisshu whispered and closed his eyes, breathing heavily. Shintaro felt his eyes widen at seeing that and he panicked.

"Hey, boy, what's your name?!" Shintaro shouted, not knowing what else to do to keep this boy awake.

"Kisshu … Ikisatashi … I'm leader of the alien group and … Ichigo's first kiss and … her secret protector …" Kisshu mumbled, eyes still closed but he smiled as if saying he wasn't going to sleep. Shintaro stared at him again, eyes twitching at hearing first kiss but he calmed down at hearing protector.

"'Secret protector'?" Shintaro asked, now wanting to know what Kisshu meant.

"She doesn't know but … I watch her from afar … to make sure that that tree-huger … doesn't do anything to her … and to keep her safe from other … stupid humans …" Kisshu whispered and Shintaro raised an eyebrow.

"'Tree-huger'?"

"I think … his name is … Masaya Aoyama …" Kisshu said, thoughtfully but his eyes snapped open in shock as Shintaro screamed.

"YAHOO! FINALLY SOMEONE, WHO SHARES THE SAME PASSION AS I DO~!" Shintaro did a happy dance and Kisshu couldn't help but laugh but that soon vanished as pain shot through his shoulder, again.

"Geez …" Kisshu cursed under his breath and gripped his shoulder. Shintaro stopped his weirdo-contest and looked at the wincing alien.

"Sakura!" Shintaro called while he tried to calm the almost screaming alien. Yes, Kisshu was about to scream out in pain.

"I'm coming!" Sakura called just before she rushed into the room, carrying a huge first aid kit and some antiseptic. Shintaro sighed as he saw the bottle of antiseptic and already readied himself.

"I will have to hold him down, don't I?" Shintaro asked and Sakura smiled sadly more towards Kisshu, who looked a bit uncomfortable at Shintaro's question.

"I'm afraid but yes; I'm so sorry, Kisshu, but otherwise it will get infected." Sakura said sadly and Kisshu just sighed.

"As if it isn't already is …" Kisshu mumbled and was startled as Shintaro took a pair of scissors and cut his shirt open.

"H-HEY!" Kisshu yelled, embarrassed.

"Sorry, little one, what has to be done, has to be done!" Shintaro winked and Kisshu just glared at him before yelping as Sakura put a wet cloth over his wound.

"Just for a bit, then I will clean the blood away and then you have to be strong, Kisshu, okay? The antiseptic burns badly on a wound like this. Afterwards, I will bandage your shoulder and then we will see. You may then go to sleep, alright?" Sakura said, softly as she smiled at the nervous alien.

"H-hai …" Kisshu whispered and to his own shock, he found himself shaking, knowing that he might soon feel the worst pain ever … Sakura slowly started cleaning the blood off his chest and shoulder area and Kisshu tensed as he realized that THIS already hurt.

Ten minutes later.

"So, I will now start cleaning the wound with the antiseptic; Shintaro, can you hold Kisshu down? And, Kisshu, I know it will burn but I want you to hold as still as possible, okay?" Sakura asked softly in a reassuring way. Kisshu sighed with a bit of fear and nodded. Shintaro softly put one hand on Kisshu's other shoulder and the other on his chest, before Sakura poured some of the antiseptic on a fresh cloth.

"You might want to look away, Kisshu …" Sakura whispered and Kisshu quickly turned his head to the other side, his teeth already clenched and his body tensed up as he awaited the pain.

"Here we go …" Sakura sighed and slowly tipped the cloth over Kisshu's wound. The green-haired alien's eyes widened and he bit his bottom lip while he tried to muffle his screams.

"Mmmmmm!" was all the both adults heard from the alien and Shintaro felt an aching sting in his chest; he felt sorry for the boy.

"It hurts …" Kisshu breathed out in a pitched voice, his face twisted with agony as he shook his head as if thinking it might make the pain go away.

"Just a little bit more, Kisshu, then you can rest, I promise." Sakura said, softly and she continued to clean his wound, even though the pleading noises from the alien made her heart break.

"Please … stop … stop …" Kisshu whispered, tears rolling over his cheeks as he tried everything to jerk away; he finally couldn't take the pain anymore. Sakura closed her eyes and she continued her work, ignoring the alien's words. Luckily for her, Shintaro had a good grip on the alien so that Kisshu couldn't really trash around. It was easier that way.

"… Stop …" Kisshu sobbed out and Shintaro looked at his wife, who finished her work. She smiled sadly at her husband and Shintaro stared at her as he spotted some tears in her eyes. Sakura carefully bandaged Kisshu's wound and looked at the alien's face to find tears still rolling over his flushed cheeks.

"We are finished … you can sleep now, Kisshu …" Sakura whispered as she stroked the alien's hair, comfortingly. Kisshu closed his eyes, exhausted and worn out, his face still slightly twisted with pain before his breathing got more even and his body relaxed a bit. Sakura pulled a cover over Kisshu's body and she motioned for Shintaro to leave while she stroked Kisshu's hair again.

After ten minutes she heard voices downstairs and she knew that Ichigo was home, so she forced herself to stop stroking Kisshu's hair and left the room, smiling as she heard Kisshu mumble something in his sleep.
