Hi sorry for the wait but I've had a ton of homework to do and I want to make my chapters as best as I can so thanks for the support. On with the story.

Chapter 2: Reunion.

It had been a long tiring day and Ichigo could barely stand. All week had been hard work. It was coming up too Christmas and people were flooding into the mew mews café.

Some wanted special Christmas cakes for an upcoming family party and some just wanted a hot drink to keep them warm in the harsh blistering cold. But whatever they came to the café for meant more work for the mew mews.

Even though the mew mews didn't have to fight chimera animal anymore they still had lots of thing to worry about like keeping their grades up and working hard at the café. But for Ichigo in particular finding out whether Aoyama still loved her or not was the most important problem.

All these thoughts ran through Ichigo's mind and even though work was finished she still felt like she was still working and it was starting get to her. And out of the blue she heard.

"Ichigo, ICHIGO!" Bellowed the voice.

"Huh… oh Mint sorry I was in a world of my own, what did you say." Said Ichigo dazed.

"I said are you done!" Exasperated Mint. Looking at Ichigo like she was brainless.

"Done with what." Replied Ichigo confused.

"The Sugar Ichigo, the sugar." Said Mint rubbing the bridge of her nose in annoyance.

"Oh yea sorry." Ichigo snapped back to reality and handed the pot of sugar to mint. The five girls were having a well-deserved treat since it was the end of work.

Everyone was looking that Ichigo now and she felt the worry in the room. They all sat in silence for a few minutes. Ichigo didn't want to tell her friends about the situation with Aoyama. She did trust them but telling them meant she might have to face whatever was inevitable. Then Lettuce broke the silence.

"So is anyone doing anything tomorrow?"

"No," Said mint. "Just ballet class."

"Nope just homework and oh yea more homework." Ichigo answered looking defeated.

"I've got a photo-shoot in Okinawa." Said Zakuro casually.

Pudding groaned "Awww Zakuro you get all the fun its boring here ever since the aliens left." Puddin crossed her arms and slumped in her chair "I miss teru-teru na no da."

Ichigo felt the same way about Kisshu. Even though he annoyed her sometimes she still missed him and his Cheeky fanged grin. The mew mews hadn't heard from the aliens in a year and Ichigo wondered whether they had forgotten them.

All of a sudden a ripple in the air emerged a second later three figures appeared Kisshu, Pie and Tart dropped to the floor. Ichigo ran to help, Tart got up off the floor Blood stained and crying pudding ran to Tart and gave him a hug. But Kisshu and Pie weren't moving.

Ichigo Kneelt down and turned Kisshu over and was horrified to see a stab wound.

"Oh my god Mint go get Ryou and Keiichiro, Run." Ichigo ripped off her apron and put it on kisshu's wound with presser to try to stop the bleeding while lettuce tended to Pie. Ichigo felt a hand grip hers she looked down to see Kisshu looking up at her.

"Hiya Koneko-Chan long time no see, you miss me."
