I'M SO SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE! It just slipped my mind is all. On to the story! RxR!

"Here you go, Ichigo-Chan." leaning over the couch with a fresh plate of grilled salmon and a nice, cool glass of milk, Kish lightly pecked her cheek before standing up straight and walking towards the door.

"Father, I'm leaving for awhile. I'm going to collect any valuables from Ichigo's apartment and bring them to the dorm. I'll be taking the car." turning to grab his jacket, he grinned at Ichigo, who glared back.

"Don't even think of going through my dresser!" she shouted over her shoulder as she watched him exit the room. Although, through the newly closed door, she could faintly make out the sound of Kish's voice and what he'd said.

"Oh, don't worry, Kitty. I'll be taking you shopping for all new clothes anyways. Act out and I'll have no choice but to come into the dressing room with you as you try on the items!" as he'd hollered this, the sound of his feet tapping along the floor of the hallway could be heard fading from earshot.

"Grrrr." turning back to the dish Kish had prepared for her, she frowned in displeasure. The food looked delicious, yes. Though it wasn't what she had wanted. Nor was it what she was accustomed to eating. To her, it was just a tad too fancy.

"Just eat it and be grateful that the boy cares so deeply for you. Meanwhile, I'll get together plans for marriage between you and him." stating this simply and calmly as he reached for his cellphone, Shintaro smirked upon receiving the death glare from his daughter. "Fine, I get it. Not yet. However, I will be expecting you to marry him soon." sipping the last of his coffee, Shintaro finally handed Joe the mug and climbed to his feet. "Well, it was nice to see you again, Joe. Now, I must take my leave. I will trust my daughter to you for now. I'll check in at the end of the month."

Waving good-bye to Shintaro as he left, Joe began to chuckle. "You know, Ichigo, your dad is only looking out for you. Besides, I'm sure Kish will keep you safe. Anyways, here is your key to hte dorm. Go there and rest before Kish returns." handing her the key, Joe passed her a sympathetic smile before she walked out.

Ichigo, who'd gotten done eating by then, simply shook her head and sighed as she walked along, down the hallway. "Well, that's easy for you to say. I'm the one having to stay in a dorm with a pervert."


"Whoa! This place is bigger than my old apartment!" closing the door behind her, Ichigo looked around the foyer to the large dorm.

In the foyer, although it was a small room, was set a simple blue sofa and matching recliner. In front of the sofa, but beside the chair, was a small, oak, coffee table. In front of that sat a television on an entertainment system, games included.

Behind the living room area, was a dividing slider door, also blue. It seperated the kitchen, blue, to the foyer.

To the side of the room were two doors. One being that of the blue tiled restroom. Two, being that of the bedroom. (notice that the dorm is colored in blue. It's a common color in that particular dormitory.)

The bedroom itself, although quite plain, suited all the necessary sleeping requirements.

A set of two beds, both blue with oak frames. A nightstand for each bed. A window with blue curtains on the wall between the beds. Desks of oak on either side of the wall. Two dressers, and a side by side closet.

The walls, not surprisingly, were painted light blue as well.

"Well, at least it's somewhere with two beds." rubbing the back of her head as she sat on the bed that didn't look like someone came through and tore into it, the girl, exhausted from the day's activities, fell into a deep, silent sleep.


"Aw, she's such a deep sleeper." upon hearing the familiar voice from inside her dreams, Ichigo tried to awaken, but found herself to be too tired to do so. "I guess she should just sleep for now. Though, she DOES look a bit chilly. I probably should get her comfy. That ankle's gotta be killing her."

Leaning down quietly, Kish gently removed the girl's loafers and gently lifted her ankle, which was hanging off the bed in an uncomfortable position, and set it and her other ankle onto the newly uncovered area of bed beneath her. After doing so, he silently reached over and began to pull up the comforter when he heard something. So, gazing down, he brought his face closer.

"Hmm. Ichigo, sleep soundly. You're safe. I won't let you be hurt." kissing her forhead as she began to toss and turn in her sleep, Kish smirked before finally tucking her into her new bed and getting up. "Well, Ichigo, I guess I have no choice but to unpack for you, seeing as how you're asleep."

Sighing in fake annoyance, he grinned and stepped over to a box he had carried up from the car from Ichigo's old home.

"She didn't have many valuables at all..." he muttered, unpacking the box.

The first thing he pulled out was a tiny stuffed rabbit. One eye was missing, and the other, a poorly stitched black button, was just barely hanging on. "After I get this sown up, Ichigo can have it back for comfort." smiling thoughtfully, he set the rabbit gently on the hard wood floor beneath him and pulled out even more of her treasures.

The next thing he pulled out happened to be a picture of Ichigo in a softball uniform with her tongue sticking out. "This I'll get a nice frame for and set on her nightstand." gently setting the picture by the rabbit, he went back to his task of unpacking.

The third thing to leave the box was an empty spray bottle he'd cleaned out after finding it in her trash can. "I'll fill it with water and squirt her every time she acts up." setting it too aside, he, again, reached into the box.

The fourth, and final thing to be pulled from the box happened to be Ichigo's wallet. Inside was her picture and a picture of her long deceased cat, Olive. That, along with five bucks and a gift card were the only things in the weathered lether wallet.

"Hmm, I won't mess with her money. After all, she might want to keep what she's worked so hard to get." smiling blankly, he added, "Besides, I'll make sure that everything she gets is what I've paid for. She should keep her money." setting the wallet down in her nightstand drawer, Kish kissed Ichigo's forehead once more before leaving for a shower before bed.

"Sleep tight, my cute kitty." grinning as he watched her stir lightly before going still and breathing softly, Kish finally closed the door to their bedroom and made his way into the restroom.

Kay, next chapter, Ichigo wakes up to Kish walking in, in only a towel! Not rated M, so I'm not going to describe much. It'll be fluffy though, I kid you not. Also, on furthur analyses, Kisshu means Quiche, Kishu means a dog or a 'jockey'. Just something I thought I'd throw in there. XD!
