My nightmare, my sweetest dream
Chapter 2
Kisshu's Pov:

I walked her to her front door, disappearing from sight as she opened the door. Had i gone home? No, i had materialized on a tree branch by her house. I already knew that kitten was in trouble, so how could i leave her alone? What if her father beat her? I shivered at the thought, i just couldnt let something like that happen to her. My gaze shifted to my bandages on my arms and legs. My heart couldnt take seeing her in that kind of pain.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by a shriek of terror from inside. My eyes widened, and i leapt down from the tree. Throwing caution to the wind, i ran inside. Ichigo was laying on the floor, a piece of paper clutched in her hand and tears streaming down her face. Two dead bodies were on the floor. A pale woman with red hair like ichigo's, and a man with spiky black hair and tan skin. "ichigo!" i gasped, falling to my knees at her side. "tell me what happened." i said, worry was evident on my face. "k-k-kisshu..." she stuttered, lifting up the paper. I took the paper from her, and immediately i was filled with anger.

"baka strawberry,
I've escaped from jail, and as revenge for what you've done, i killed your parents. I'm coming for you next, unless you give in to my demands. There is one way that you can get me to forgive you. I'll tell you what it is tonight at midnight under the cherry blossom tree in the park. Come alone, or i'll Kill your alien boyfriend.
Ryou"

Needless to say, i was furious. How dare he do this to my koneko-chan! He will pay. "Ichigo, what are you going to do?" i asked, now suddenly nervous. What if it was a trap so that he could get her alone and kill her?! "i guess i'll go. If i don't, people will get hurt." she sighed, giving in. Even if she doesn't want me to, i'll go. "do you want me to come with you?" i asked, i don't want to leave her side. "n-no. I d-don't want you h-hurt." she sobbed.

I sighed, "ichigo. You're the one who's in danger here. I can take Blondie, he's pretty weak." laughing a bit on the last part. "kisshu" she whispered, shaking her head. A tear trickled down her cheek, and i cupped her chin in my palm. I wiped the tear from her cheek, and lowered my lips to hers. She kissed back, and when we broke apart i realized the time. "ichigo, please don't go!" i begged. She stood there, shaking her head. I cant believe this, who knew what Ryou would do?

I wrapped my arms firmly around her waist, and pulled her into my chest. "ichigo, please?" i begged. A single tear streaked down my cheek, and i buried my face in her hair. She smelled of strawberries and blood. "Gomen nasai, kisshu. I have to go. Just please, know that i love you." she breathed, pushing me back just enough to duck out of my grip. giving me a sad glance before she turned away, she walked out the door. "ichigo..." i whispered, letting the tears flow.
