"What's wrong with her, now, Lettuce?" Mint asked.

"Eh? I'm not sure, but," She added with a smile, "I'm sure it has something to do with Aoyama-kun…..Pai-kun…."

"What?" Mint stepped back, her hand on her hips, smiling.

"Oh, nothing Minto!" Lettuce blushed furiously. Why have I been thinking about him lately? He's so serious and handsome and…No, Lettuce! Don't think about that! She grabbed her head in frustration and ran from the window to wipe tables that had been clean for hours.

Outside, Ichigo was giggling and almost floating as she swept the walk outside the pink café, when she heard an all familiar voice, "Oi, kitten, what are you doing after work today?" Whipping around to face Kish, she attempted to give him a death glare, but failed when she found him closer than she had expected their noses only inches apart. "W-Well it has nothing to do with you for sure! A-Aoyama-kun and I are going to see a movie!" Kisshu tried not to wince when she said 'kun', but Ichigo noticed the brief falter in his grin. The damn tree-hugger. Why'd she have to pick him, of all people? "I don't think so, Koneko-chan." Grabbing her shoulders, he teleported with her to the top of a skyscraper.

"Where is she now? It's typical of Ichigo to be late, but it's been over half an hour and the movie will start in a few minutes!" Tree-hugger idiot….I mean, Aoyama, had no clue, though, that his Ichigo was currently struggling with her (slightly creepy) alien stalker.

~*~*o*~*~

Ichigo, becoming dizzy, instinctively threw her arms around Kish, trying not to look down, but not up either, because the alien at this point, was grinning down at her, with the look he always got when he was about to try to kiss his kitten. "Kisshu! The battle was over months ago, and you're still here! Pai and Tart, are they still here too?" Ichigo was infuriated, as not only was she not going to be in the first place she wanted to be, she was in the last place, which was with Kisshu. Her ears and tail popped out, but she barely noticed, or cared. "You could say…we're just hanging on, Neko-chan." The last part was said as a whisper in her ear, causing her cat ears to twitch rapidly, and her cheeks to blush all over again. "W-Well, do plan on letting me down anytime soon? It's probably too late to go anyways." Ichigo sighed.

~*~*o*~*~

They teleported back in front of the café, and Ichigo, blushing again, realizing that she was still holding onto Kish, stepped back quickly with a 'NYA!' , while Kisshu just stood there, and after a second of eye contact, and a quick smile, he vanished, leaving Ichigo with the same feeling as the other day, blushing and warm. I've never felt this way around Aoyama-kun… she stood there for a few more minutes, then turned, and walked home.

Taruto: That chapter sucked, Willow.

Willow-chan: You'll get your turn. The next two chapters will be like this…

Kisshu: You mean Ichigo and me? :D

Willow-chan: No, you baka. Pai and Lettuce, and Taruto and Pudding in that order.

Kisshu: T.T *sniff* Reviews and ideas are always appreciated.
