Kisshu's Illness Chapter 7:
Going Home
Two days after Ichigo and Kisshu confessed their love to each other, Kisshu was back to full strength. He was able to fly and teleport again, and much to his relief, eat solid food. Ichigo had to constantly remind him not to eat too fast, because he was really hungry and tended to eat waaay too fast as a result. Taruto had recovered completely as well, and of course Pai was already fine.
To all of their sorrow, Ichigo was going home tomorrow. However, since Pai had come up with another alternative to fighting, and they now knew how to get rid of Deep Blue, the Cyniclons were all going to teleport Ichigo back to Café Mew Mew, so they could hopefully work something out. The main problem was getting rid of the treehugger.
Ichigo was somewhat sad to be leaving. She had enjoyed her time with Kisshu, despite how sick he had been, and she had finally realized who her real true love was. Both she and Kisshu were sad to have to stop living together, but if the plans worked, they would be seeing a lot of each other anyways.
Finally the time to take Ichigo back came. They waited until the time Café Mew Mew closed, then teleported Ichigo to the Café. She had her stuff with her, and was going to help the Cyniclons explain the new plan.
When they appeared in the main area of the Café, all the other Mews were there already. Of course, the appearance of Ichigo and the aliens sent them into defense mode. Before they could transform, though, Ichigo shouted, "STOP!"
Everyone froze. Unfortunately the noise brought Ryou and Keiichiro running. "ICHIGO?" they shouted when they saw her.
"What is going on here?" Ryou snarled. "Why did those aliens have to come?"
"We came to talk," Ichigo said.
"Does this have something to do with you being gone for three weeks?" Zakuro asked.
"Yeah," said Ichigo. "Three weeks ago, Pai and Taruto came to my house and kidnapped me. I found out that the reason for this was because Kisshu was sick and they didn't recognize what he had. So they decided to bring me in to help him. It turned out he had a really bad stomach flu, so I just stayed to take care of him. Then Pai and Taruto got sick too, although not as bad as Kisshu, so they couldn't teleport. I stayed to take care of Kisshu, not because I was forced to."
"But why were you gone for so long?" Ryou asked.
"Kisshu's only been back on his feet for about two days," Ichigo replied. "He was really sick, so like I said, I decided to take care of him."
"And what did you come here to talk about?" Keiichiro asked.
Pai replied, "We think there's a solution to the fighting. If we gathered all the Mew Aqua together, it could be used to heal our planet. Then we wouldn't have to attack anymore."
"And your leader?" Ryou asked skeptically.
"We have a plan, but you might not like it," Kisshu said.
"What is it?" Zakuro asked.
"Our leader has a human host in this world, who is essential to his rise to power," Pai said. "That human is Aoyama Masaya. If we kill him, the problem of our leader should be solved."
"Ichigo-san, is that really okay?" Lettuce asked.
"He dumped me for no reason, so I could care less," Ichigo said. "Besides, I'm dating Kisshu."
Naturally, everyone's jaws dropped.
"YOU'RE WHAT?" Ryou shouted.
"You heard me," Ichigo said. "I love him, and he loves me."
"BUT WHY HIM?" Ryou shouted.
"I just told you, I love him," Ichigo said. Suddenly, she thought of something, and said, "You didn't really believe I'd date you, did you?"
Ryou turned white. "How did you guess that?" he asked.
"The fact that you sound jealous gave it away," Ichigo said. "Otherwise I'd never have guessed. You act so nasty to me I would never have dated you."
Ryou drooped.
Bringing the conversation back to where it started, Zakuro said, "Well, I think that we should go along with Pai's plan. It would be nice not to have to fight each other anymore."
"Does that mean that Taru-Taru and Pudding can be real friends now, na no da?" Pudding asked.
"Sure," Ichigo said, winking at Taruto, who turned red.
"I never thought we should fight from the start," Lettuce said. "I'm all for this plan."
"Well, if Oneesama says it's fine, so do I," Mint said.
Keiichiro said, "Well, we might as well accept it- right Ryou?"
Ryou stopped sulking and said, "I don't trust aliens, but I guess I'm overruled. I'm going to the basement. You can figure this out on your own." He walked off.
"Well, at least we won't have to fight tooth and nail to get him to cooperate," Ichigo said.
"Yeah…." The others all said.
Suddenly Ichigo remembered something, and said, "What about my parents? Did you guys hear from them at all?"
"We haven't, actually, and that's kind of worrisome, since they were supposed to be back two weeks ago," Keiichiro said. "Maybe you should go home and see if they left any messages."
"Want me to teleport you, Koneko-chan?" Kisshu asked.
"That's great, thanks Kisshu!" Ichigo said.
Kisshu smiled and took her hand.
Okay, that's Chapter 7. If you guys have ideas for what happened to Ichigo's parents, let me know!
