I've decided to turn this into a full fanfiction, that means lots more chapters. I was struck in the head by a plot bunny the other day… it just kind of fell out of the sky… and what can I say, it was pretty insistent… So I've been working out a few different ideas, mostly dealing with alien things, and I was thinking you all can help me out… So if you have any ideas for alien races, alien customs, maybe some OCs, anything really I'd love to hear them :3 I've come up with a few different ideas and I've been thinking about using this one idea that comes from another fanfic I've worked on with my friend SillyStreamers called Defeated (You should read it…) so we'll see how that works out…
Awakening-
Kish was beyond pleased by the way the past twenty-four hours had worked out. Even in his wildest dreams he had not imagined this, this precious moment that he wanted to go on forever. He had finally completed his last mission, stealing his beloved Neko's heart. And here she was, curled up and snuggled into him on her couch while she breathed softly, the occasional purr rumbling up from her throat, her head resting on his chest so his heartbeat, safety, and warmth was the thing that lulled her to sleep and their legs spread out on the couch tangled together, the light glinted off of the golden promise ring that was carefully placed on her slender finger that in turn was curled around the fabric of his shirt, her red hair tickling his cheek, her soft black tail wound around his calf, it all added up to perfection in his mind. He gave the sleeping body a little squeeze, pulling her closer if that was even possible. The TV was on but he ignored it's soft hum of voices, instead he watched his Ohime-Sama as she slept peacefully in his arms, her back rising and falling in a rhythm that was so soothing he too felt he would soon fall asleep.
She was so special… Too special to allow to die, how happy he is he never allowed her death… His kitten, his bride-to-be, his princess, but always his Koneko-Chan, always his one and only love, nothing could change that. And he planned on becoming that for her too. He wanted to show her just what it meant to be loved and in turn he wanted her to show him. He would be everything he could for her, he would do anything, and he would always be there no matter what. He was determined to be better than that tree hugger, to make up for his mistakes, for the lost time, everything. He would show her that it was ok to be herself around him, a ditzy half-cat teenager, because nothing she could do would make her imperfect in his eyes. He would accept her, tail and all. He loved her imperfections because that was precisely what made her perfect.
He gently kissed the top of her head; right between her two raven black ears. Yes, those cute little cat features, he knew she was always trying to hide them, he had seen it multiple times, but he loved them. He loved the way she would purr, the way she would curl up against him like a giant kitten, heck, he even thought it was cute when she hissed and she felt the urge to knead her sharp claws, err, fingernails into his skin like a sleepy cat. And that tail… he loved that tail and how it would wind itself around him while she slept, when she passed him by, any time he was close it seemed that thing would brush him in one way or another. He loved it. It gave him even more reason to tease her, as long as she was slightly embarrassed or was ok with it being out it would remain there, those ears and that tail, they couldn't be more perfect.
Her temper, he loved that temper. He had never met a girl that could get so riled up. It entertained him, he thought it was cute, and he loved it. Even when he did end up getting scratched. He could deal with it, because he loved her, he wouldn't have it any other way. No, he loved that temper. And of course her ditzy-ness, her little scatterbrained self always being late and forgetting her homework, and her determination, now that was something to behold, he had never met someone quite so determined, and her over all cute nature too of course. He loved it all.
He sighed in content, his warm breath slightly ruffling her already messy red hair while he busied himself with rubbing her back gently. He wanted time to stop so he could keep her like this for all of eternity but the room was suddenly filled with the loud voice of Hatsune Miku making him jolt slightly.
"Sekai de ichiban Ohime-Sama, sou iu atsuki kokoro ete, yo ne?" He blinked realizing a few things at once, that this was the song Ichigo had been singing, it was coming from the coffee table, and his kitten was waking. "Sono ichi, itsumo to chigua kamigata ni kiga tsuku koto-"
Ichigo moaned sitting up, her brown eyes were clouded over and lips were set in a frown. She had been perfectly content with her previous position in her alien boyfriend's welcoming arms and she was going to be very angry with whatever that was interrupting her daily nap. "Kitten, what is that?" Kish asked her, obviously confused.
She couldn't help but giggle at the cute look on Kish's face, he looked confused and upset by her ringtone that was radiating throughout the house, lips set in a pouty frown and brows furrowed as his golden eyes scanned over the tabletop. "It's just my phone Kish, someone's trying to contact me." She explained before snatching the bright pink phone from the table. The caller id made her frown. "What do you want Ryou?" She demanded into the phone, very upset that he was keeping her from the safety of Kish's arms that were still wide open for her to slip into.
"Ichigo, the computer has detected the presence of an alien. Its AT your HOUSE!" He cried urgently. "You need to act like nothings wrong and head right over here." He ordered with his usual authority.
Ichigo snorted and Kish covered his mouth to keep from giggling at "Blondie". "Ryou, I'm going to act like nothings wrong because there isn't anything wrong." She informed him getting comfortable in Kish's arms once more who was quite pleased for her to do so.
"Ichigo!"
"Kish is here, it's all fine, don't go sending an army to attack." Ichigo huffed. The other end of the call was silent. "Ryou? If you hung up I swear-"
"That pervert is there and your FINE with it?" He roared in confusion. But who could blame him? Up until then he had thought that Ichigo still despised Kisshu with a burning passion, not LOVED him. "I'm sending the Mews!" He hissed before he hung up.
Ichigo sighed heavily looking up at Kish who was scowling. "Before you ask, no, you cannot kill Ryou. Even if he is a pain in the butt…" She told him firmly and ignored the pout he gave her. "Come on… I guess now is the best time to announce our little love affair…" She sighed climbing off of the couch, tail caressing Kish's cheek as she did.
He grinned impishly in response, pleased by both her choice of words and that teasing tail of hers, both cat and human. "Ooh! I like the sounds of that!" He sang hopping up to follow her to the door.
Ichigo rolled her eyes but her lips were tilted into a smile. "Just let me do the talking Kish…"
"As you wish Ohime-Sama!" He chirped, always cheerful.
Sure enough when she opened the door she was tackled by a small blur of yellow right into Kish who then fell on his butt with Ichigo between his legs. "Is Taru-Taru here?" The blur, better known as Pudding Fong, demanded not even paying attention to the green haired alien.
Pudding had changed a lot, at least physically. She hadn't grown much taller but she had become curvier since she reached her current age of thirteen, her face has thinned out a bit, and her hair now reaches her shoulders when not in its usual braids, she's still very tan and athletic and just as innocent as before.
"Is there really an alien here?" Called Berry, eager to meet one of the beings she has heard so much about.
She too has not changed, she remains sweet and happy and as in love with her boyfriend as ever, and her appearance has also remained pretty much the same, she keeps her blond hair long and she still has a girlish look to her.
"Ichigo-San? Are you ok?" Called Lettuce as her and the others approached.
Lettuce had changed a lot over the years. She had grown much more confident and was starting to step out of her boundaries with the help of her friends. Ichigo and Mint had talked her into switching out her glasses for contacts long ago and she was beginning to dress in a way that showed some more skin. She is still the sweet, accepting, girl she was before, maybe even more so, and long ago got over her crush on Ryou.
"I'm fine!" Ichigo called back. "Everything's fine!"
Kish chuckled snaking his pale arms around Ichigo's waist. "Its far more than fine…" He purred. "And no Monkey Mew, Tart is at home. I came alone."
"Aww!" Pudding whined.
The other Mews came to a stop right outside Ichigo's door, Lettuce looking down at her friend with concern, Zakuro glaring at Kish warily, Berry staring at Kish with obvious curiosity and an open mouth, and Mint simply rolling her eyes at their position. When it comes down to it they haven't changed that much.
"Kish, shouldn't you be on your planet?" Zakuro demanded coldly, putting her hands on her hips.
Zakuro had changed the least of the other girls. Her long purple hair was still the way it was before, she was as elegant as ever, loyal and caring towards her friends but still cold on the outside. And Kish was still very scared of the angry looking wolf looming over him with her violet eyes narrowed.
He laughed nervously. "Well… It's sort of a long story…"
"Just spit it out!" Mint barked mimicking Zakuro's pose.
Mint was now a beautiful sixteen year old like Ichigo, she had filled out and had the body of a dancer, she was lean and fit. She now kept her thick midnight blue hair up in a single bun or a high ponytail. She remained snobby and continued to worship the ground Zakuro walked on but was a bit more mature.
"To be with my bride-to-be of course!" He sang taking Ichigo's hand that was clad with the golden promise ring and holding it up for the others to see. There was a chorus of gasps and Ichigo's cheeks darkened to a strawberry red.
"Ichigo… you…" Lettuce said softly, too stunned to find the proper words to express her confusion.
"I see…" Zakuro said face softening ever so slightly.
"Wow!" Pudding cried. "That looks expensive!"
"You have GOT to be kidding me!" Mint huffed.
"I thought you hate the aliens though!" Berry exclaimed making Kish grumble something along the lines of "Who the heck's this hyper blond?"
"I will be marrying Kish," Ichigo said sticking her nose in the air, much like Mint would. "And I don't care what anyone else has to say about it."
"I WANNA MARRY TARU-TARU!" Pudding screamed making Ichigo scowl covering her cat ears in response to the loud noise and Kish to laugh nervously.
"Well… I suppose I should probably contact them and actually tell them this happened…" Kish said thoughtfully looking at Ichigo out of the corner of his eye. She smiled at him to tell him that it was all right so he helped her up before slipping away into the house.
"Ichigo, are you sure about this?" Mint hissed low so Kish wouldn't hear her. "I mean seriously, this IS the alien that tried to kill us three years ago! What do your parents think about this? Do they even know you're a Mew?"
Ichigo sighed warily. She hadn't thought about this… "Mom and dad are out of town, they will be for two weeks, well, unless the meetings don't take as long as schedueled or whatever. Mom said that there was a good possibility of it. They don't know I'm a Mew and they don't know about Kish, he just showed up yesterday night." She explained with another sigh.
"Wait, only yesterday night?" Berry repeated.
"Isn't this a little fast Ichigo?" Zakuro said concerned for the wellbeing of her younger friend. "You should slow down a little…"
"Kish knows that girls don't actually get married this soon," Ichigo replied a little deffinsively. "It just… It just feels right…" She added softly, fiddling with the ring on her finger. "You know?" She looked up at her friends hoping to see understanding in their eyes. She smiled when she did.
"Of course Ichigo, we will always respect your decisions, you're our leader." Zakuro gave her a rare smile. "If you are truly in love with Kisshu then we will learn to accept him too. Just like you Pudding, if you truly love your 'Taru-Taru' we will learn to accept him as well."
Lettuce looked down at her feet blushing. "A-a-and P-Pai-San…" She squeaked out making everyone grin at her.
"Oh, does someone have a crush Lettuce?" Mint teased.
"N-no!" She yelped.
"Aw! Don't be embarrassed Lettuce!" Ichigo giggled wrapping an arm around her friend. "Pai's a very attractive man…"
"What?" Everyone turned to see a very confused and angry looking Kish.
Ichigo rolled her eyes. "Calm down Kish, you're the only alien for me and you know it! But Lettuce seems to have a thing for him…"
"Ichigo!" Lettuce cried.
Kish's golden eyes flashed and an impish grin spread across his face. He had tried to tell Pai to come with him but he had declared that if Kish would be going to see Ichigo it was something he should do alone, that meant Taruto had to stay too. He also said that someone would need to stay home to take care of their planet and obviously Pai was the best choice. "I knew Pai should of came with me! Heh, you know he has a crush on you Fishy Mew~!" He sang tapping a blushing Lettuce on the nose making her cheeks darken even more. "Anyway, I told Pai and Tart about our little, ah, how did you put it? 'Love Affair'? Yeah, that, and they don't believe me. But he said that if it is true I need to meet your parents and you should meet my family, that means going home to my planet."
"Oh…" Ichigo said softly. "Well… we could go there for a week or so and then come back so you can meet my parents…"
"Are you sure that's safe?" Mint hissed grabbing Ichigo's wrist.
"Take Pudding with you na no da!"
"Should you really do that Ichigo?" Lettuce murmured fiddling with her hands.
"Hey, if it would make you feel any better you and Pudding can come too." Kish told Lettuce. "That way you could both see my brothers again and you could keep an eye on Koneko-Chan." He honestly liked the idea of bringing the other two girls home to his brothers, they had been too busy lately, dealing with treaties and other official business and they needed a break… and some ladies…
"Yay!" Pudding sang. "Pudding gets to go to the aliens' planet na no da!"
"What about your siblings?" Berry asked concerned.
"Pudding can send them to china to visit dad, they need to visit soon anyway na no da." Pudding said firmly. "Then Pudding can go visit her Taru-Taru!"
Kish smiled down at the younger girl that had taken his brother's heart before gently ruffling her hair. "Then you better get ready Monkey Girl, we'll be leaving soon."
