MMKM: Moshi moshi. It is I, MewMewKianaMetamorphosis. I am now writing Chapter 2 of "Strawberry Quiche," and have just come to a decision.

Mith: You're going to make this into a lemon?! :D

Everyone: NOOOO!

MMKM: I thought long and hard about it, and have decided that I am not quite ready to write a lemon about anything. Plus, this is my story. I am the author, and I have complete control over it. If I don't want it to be a lemon, I won't make it so... unless I decide to change it later.

Mith: *Pouts*

Lettuce: I would stop reading then.

Kisshu: That's insulting.

MMKM: I do not, under any circumstances, own Tokyo Mew Mew or any other anime that might be mentioned in this story. I do, however own Tsunami Flower, and I really hope it turns into an anime in the future. Without further ado, ON WITH THE STORY! :D

Kisshu Changes Too

Ichigo POV

"Kisshu, what are you planning?"

"I'm just planning our very first date, Konecko-chan." At this, I began to struggle. If I knew Kisshu, I knew he would try something really stupid. I pushed hard against him, determined to have him release me.

"Kawaii, Konecko. You're ears are so cute."

"What?" I suddenly realised that my cat ears and tail were out, and was aware that my face was hot.

"Ugh! Kisshu, get you're filthy hands off of me!"

"I really wouldn't, Konecko-chan. If I let go of you now, I will lose you forever. You'll be stuck between the dimensions of the earth. Besides, why should I let go of you? You're so warm." My face went really red then. I wanted to hit him so bad just then. This ass was going to pay when we landed.

"Ow, Pudding! That hurts!" I looked over at Pudding and Taruto. Pudding was rubbing her cheek against Taruto's and squealing. She seemed pretty excited, considering her current position. I could only hope that Taruto didn't hurt her. I'm sure he won't. Taruto and Pudding are friends, afterall. They'll probably go to a candy store or something.

I looked to Lettuce and Pai. Lettuce was red faced, and was crying. At this angle, I couldn't see Pai's face, but he seemed really tense. As tears streamed down Lettuce's face, Pai suddenly took off her glasses and began wiping them away, gently, with the back of his fingers. Now I know I've seen it all. Pai has feelings? For Lettuce? Then it almost seemed like I was watching them, but I couldn't see them. I became aware of a tingling sensation and automattically blamed Kisshu.

"KISSHU, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" He suddenly laughed really hard.

"I'm not doing anything, Konecko-chan. We are just about to land, is all."

"Kisshu, let go of me right now! I don't want to be with you! Just leave me alone! Leave me alone!" I felt my eyes water, and knew I was crying. This sickoe was going to try something, I just knew it!

Then, we just suddenly landed. Before I had any time to think, Kisshu had me down. He sat on my legs and pinned my hands over my head. I began screaming immediately.

"HELP! HELP! PERVERT! RAPE! HELP!"

"Oh please," Kisshu said, annoyed. He grabbed both of my wrists with one hand, and covered my mouth with the other. I muffled and thought to bite his hand, when he said something that stopped me.

"Ichigo, please just listen. I brought you here to help you, not hurt you." He took a deep breath, and continued. "This trip will benefit us both. I can promise you that. Will you please listen to me for five minutes? Please?"

I thought for a second. I still didn't trust him, but something in his voice told me that he was very eager to talk to me. I would give him this one chance. I nodded, and he got up slowly, releasing me, and sat a little ways away from me.

"I'm giving you five minutes, Kisshu. Five minutes, and that's it. Go!"

"Okay, I planned this about a day ago. You see, all I want is to be with you. But you never, ever allow me to get anywhere near you."

"That's because you're a perverted jerk who keeps trying to take the earth as your own."

"Ah, Ichigo. You interupted me. That means I get one more minute."

I quickly shut my mouth and crossed my arms.

"Anyway, I thought to myself, the only way that you'll ever warm up to me, is if you begin to trust me. I decided that I first, needed to be alone with you for a while. I knew that Pai and Taruto would never let me do something like that for you, so I told Taruto that we should go out to pick up you and Pudding just for a joke, and asked if Pai could come along. He seemed like he didn't want to come, but as soon as I mentioned Lettuce, he decided to come. So we all agreed that we were just going to pick you girls up just as a kind of scare. But I know them well enough that they aren't going to come back any time soon. So here we are. That's it. That is all I came to get you for. Pai and Taruto do not know of my intentions, but I really just wanted to bring you somewhere where we might... you know, get to know each other a little better." He looked down, and blushed a bit.

"I hear you, Kisshu. But what makes you think that I will cooperate?"

"Because you do not know anyone here, and have no idea how to survive in a place like this."

I suddenly looked about, and saw that we were sitting on a dirty surface in a narrow... It was an ally, I realised. Looking at the end of the ally, I saw cars, billboards, stores, and towering buildings. I've seen enough of my favorite vacation magazines, to know that this was the one and only New York City.

And knew that I sincerily could never stand a chance alone here. I sighed, and looked back to the green-haired boy sitting before me.

"Oh alright. Alright! I give up." He cracked a really large smile at that. I never noticed that when he wasn't cackling with evil delight, his smile was actually kinda cute. I quickly dispelled that thought, and asked the first question that came to mind.

"Okay, what was your brilliant plan going to involve in which I will begin to trust you?" I almost didn't want to hear the answer to that.

"Well, that is actually up to you. All I want is for us to go out and do something. I know! You could show me some human customaries. Teach me how to bowl, or show me how to count money." For some reason, he seemed really excited about that. I couldn't help but smile at his childishness.

"But Kisshu, we don't even have any money."

"Yes we do." He turned out his pockets, and tons of American bills fell onto the cold floor.

"Oh my gosh, Kisshu. Where did you get all of that money?"

"I stole it."

"Kisshu!"

"No wait. I promise that the guy seriously deserved it. He was being an ass at the lady in front of the store where the ATM was, so I lifted the money, when he left the card behind by accident." I didn't feel like arguing, so I just let it go.

"You're lucky that I learned how to count American dollars from Aoyama-kun." I covered my mouth quickly and looked at Kisshu. He frowned, and looked down. Feeling guilty, I changed the subject.

"See, these are hundreds. And these are fifties. Oh my gosh, Kisshu. He must have been a total jerk for you to have ripped him off with so much money." He blushed, and got up. He extended a hand to me, and smiled.

"Come on, Ichigo. The city awaits."

Without hesitation, I took his surprisingly, warm, trusting hand.

MMKM: Done with Chapter 2.

Kisshu: I LOVE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW!

MMKM: Why is that?

Kisshu: Ichigo TRUSTS me!

MMKM: Again, this is my story, Kisshu. Well thank you for reading, and sayonara (and no, it is not sai-ya-nara, cowboys).
