A/N: Tsukiko in bandages Hi fans! Sorry about that little bloody scene there, but as you can see, I have a very short tempered character here.

Kuro in bandages as well: I'm not short tempered. You attacked me first.

Tsukiko: Anyway! Thank you for the reviews and please give me some more. I love reviews and I also would like to have a vote. I want a vote on whether I should let their story out before 'Heaven and Hell'. I guess I didn't tell you the summary for that story huh?

'Heaven and Hell' is a remix version of Tokyo Mew Mew. The difference is that instead of just girls infused with endangered animal DNA's, they are also infused with a heavenly power. But they are not the only ones. There are also three boys who are infused with the evil powers and their mission is to destroy all humans by sucking the soul right out of them. It's the angel's job to save possessed humans and to purify the devils. Barely any Masaya and Blue Knight. Yes!

Kuro: Our story is another remixed version of Tokyo Mew Mew. Ichigo, or me, is the last member to join the group. I used to live on the streets my whole life and I was just saved by Ryou, or Shirogane. Then on my first mission, I meet Kisshu and my heart hasn't stopped beating since I met him. This is a diary and journal entry from me and our favorite alien, Kisshu. It's called, 'Betrayal Reveals Love'.

Tsukiko: Well, I need all of my fan's votes on which story to get out first. Please, 'Heaven and Hell'! I got the first chapter done!

Kuro: The story, 'Betrayal Reveals Love', is nearly done itself and you won't be able to wait for the next chapter.

Tsukiko: Too bad that the first chapters are really short and corny.

Kuro: Too bad that 'Heaven and Hell' is a very long chapter and it's probably too confusing for Tsukiko's small brain to figure out.

Tsukiko: Shut up will you!

Inuyasha takes over while the kids let them fight: Tsukiko does NOT own TMM or the songs she used in this story. Also, this is probably the last long chapter for a while. Until chapter 14, the rest after this will be short, hopefully. Enjoy!

Ch. 10: Not Again! High School Drama Pt. 2

"You're kidding me?! You guys made up with your girls?" Kisshu asked his two brothers. They both were a bit red, but they nodded.

After Kisshu's little dash and his brothers' scenes, the girls left to get lunch. Lettuce and Pudding asked Pai and Taruto if they would eat lunch with them, but they had to say no. However, Pai promised to take Lettuce out later for dinner and Taruto wanted to go to Pudding's house to help cook. Lettuce agreed to that and Pudding didn't make a fuse about Taruto helping. She looked grateful actually. All three alien brothers are inside Pai's room and they were eating their lunches there.

Kisshu picked up a weenie octopus with his chopsticks and he said, "Well that's good for you." He popped the octopus in his mouth and both of his brothers were staring at him. He noticed, "What?"

"What about you? Didn't you made up with your girl?" Taruto asked.

He answered, "First off, Ichigo is not my girl! She's that tree hugger's girl, and second, no I haven't. Unlike your girls that went off after you, she didn't go after me when I got out. I just got out and hid for a bit until I saw your room that was completely empty." Pai raised a brow.

"You didn't watch what happened between me and Lettuce-san did you?" he asked.

Kisshu put an egg in his mouth and answered, "No. I'm waiting for the security guard to give me a copy of that scene." Pai glared and Kisshu put his hands up in defense. "I was joking! Sheesh!" Pai calmed down and both of them were able to eat. Taruto was just sitting there like he was enjoying a TV show, until he asked something.

"You mean the old hag didn't run off after you?"

Kisshu shook his head and picked up another weenie octopus. "Nope. I heard her call for me but I didn't bother to stop." Taruto didn't looked convinced by 'the old hag's' attitude.

"Pai?" he called. "Didn't she ran off after him when the school bell rang?"

Pai shook his head and Kisshu looked up to listen. "After she called for him, he only stood there. She looked like she feels guilty but she didn't run off. Maybe she thinks that she should keep her distance." He continued to eat and Kisshu let out a depressing sigh.

While they were having lunch in Pai's classroom, three other people were having lunch up on the roof, only them. Ichigo, Lettuce, and Pudding were eating their bentos up there and Ichigo looked like the only one who wasn't as happy as her two best friends. Both of them noticed.

"Ichigo? What's wrong?" Lettuce asked.

She let out a depressing sigh and answered, "It's Kisshu. There's something up with him but I don't know what. When I called him at the beginning of class, he thought he was seeing the ghost of Christmas past or future. When the lunch bell ring, I called for him again but he bolted out of the class room like it was going to explode."

"Kisshu onii-chan is here, too?" Pudding asked, surprised.

"Too?" Ichigo asked surprised. "You mean Taruto is here, too?" Pudding nodded her head and Ichigo also explained, "Pai is also here. In fact! He's our twelfth grade teacher!"

Pudding sweat dropped. "How did Pai onii-chan get the rights to be a teacher? Doesn't he look about twenty years old?" Both Lettuce and Ichigo shrugged their shoulders.

Lettuce asked, "Anyway, what were you saying before, Ichigo-san?"

She answered, "Reason why I'm upset is that I think he's avoiding me or something. He came to my house on the day I called in sick and was making some tea. Then he got sick because of a alien drug overdose and he started puking everywhere. After some blood came out, he fainted and he got a 110ºF fever. I had to cook up some disgusting and weird potion to heal him. But I had to give it to him mouth to mouth because he didn't have the strength to swallow."

"Mouth to mouth?!" Both Lettuce and Pudding let out in surprise; the only difference was that their expressions were different.

Ichigo turned red and asked, "Could you two be quiet! Sheesh! How else was I going to give it to him? I was desperate." Both of them stayed quiet and Ichigo continued. "Anyway, then he woke up and he had to take blood from me because he was in third symptom and he's not supposed too. Symptom three is like code R.E.D.. Anyway, he had to take blood from me and he had to do it through sucking the blood from my neck like a vampire. Apparently, our ancestors found a skeleton of his and that was how it got the story of vampires. Also they have a venom that could give me vampiric abilities but he's not so sure. He and the others have been training themselves to hold back that venom. So he was depress about that and to put some life in him, I made him drink every drop of that disgusting potion but he only had a cup. It was because he was trying to asked me something about me sleeping with my important male friend and what I would do to brake it to him. I actually didn't pay that much attention because I opening the present that Masaya gave me. Then he was about to say something and then I hugged him before he could say anything because it was a promise ring that Masaya gave me. I was just so happy about that and right after that, Kisshu just left. He told me that he had to contact his planet to make sure that he was okay and that was going to take a while. But after hearing that he's calling in sick, I became confused and worried. Then him running off after the lunch bell ring proves that he's avoiding me."

Ichigo dropped her head while letting out another depressing sigh. Lettuce and Pudding looked at each other before looking back at Ichigo.

"Ichigo-san, I think that the reason why he left is because he was going to tell you something but you interrupted him with news about what Masaya-san gave you," Lettuce suggested. Ichigo looked up at her, but not with a curious expression.

"You mean that Kisshu is upset that I mentioned Masaya? That selfish punk!" More like an upset growing expression.

"No, Ichigo onee-chan. Everyone knows that Kisshu onii-chan still loves you, "Pudding pointed out. Ichigo calmed down and listened. "But now that he knows that he can never have you because you love Masaya onii-chan, he's trying to be your friend at least. But I guess since you started talking about matters that have to do with Masaya onii-chan when he was trying to tell you something, he thinks that he's not important to you or that he means little to you."

"That's not true! Kisshu changed a bit and he's more mature, I'll give him that much, but it doesn't mean that he's not important to me as Masaya is." Ichigo turned red from embarrassment and whispered to herself, "Oh, wait! Let me rephrase that."

Lettuce didn't let her. "Ichigo-san, maybe you should apologize to him now. It shouldn't be too hard. After all, you did apologize to him about what you said to him when he was wondering where you went off too." Ichigo froze like stone and Lettuce knew that look. "You didn't tell him, did you?"

Ichigo shook her head. She put down her empty bento and she got up. "That's it! I'm going to go look for him and I'm going to apologize to him, straight on!"

Rrrrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnngggggg!

Ichigo froze at the sound of the bell and then she collapsed on the floor. "Something is always stopping me, isn't there?"

Both lettuce and Pudding started putting their messy dishes away and they went over to Ichigo's side. They both are trying to comfort her.

"It's okay, Ichigo onee-chan," Pudding assured her. "You go to the same class, right?"

Ichigo looked from the ground and nodded. Then she looked back down. "We have fifth period together and I don't know if we have the same sixth period. There are about eight different sixth periods that any grade in high school can take together. I highly doubt that he has performing arts with me."

"Then try telling him while you guys are in class. I can ask Pai-san to ignore you of passing notes to him if you want," Lettuce offered. Ichigo shook her head and crawled back to the spot where she ate to pick up her bento dishes.

"No, that's okay. This is my problem and I have to deal with it myself. Once after I apologize to him, I'll let him finish what he was trying to say to me." When she said the last part, you can hear the determination in her voice. Lettuce and Pudding have to clap at that.

But things weren't going so smoothly like Ichigo hoped.

Just in case, Lettuce asked Pai to ignore Ichigo passing notes to Kisshu because she might apologize to him through that. Pai nodded in understanding. Pai was the kind of teacher where students think that he has eyes at the back of his head. Even when his back is turned, he could still see the gum chewing, the passing notes, and the little chit chatter that the students in the back were having. The girls admired his skill of that and took excellent notes while the boys were dreading that this teacher was that good.

After fifth period, Ichigo got ready to talk to Kisshu but he ran out of there like last time. She called and tried to go after him but she lost him the moment she got out of Pai's classroom. In depression, she walked to her next class; performing arts in the school theater. Lettuce had marine biology so she stayed in Pai's classroom. Since Taruto told Pudding about his sixth period, they both walked to cooking class together in the cafeteria. When Ichigo arrived at the theater, she was surprised to see Kisshu there but he wasn't surprised to see her. Wonder why?

"Okay, class! Gather around, gather around!" the female, mousy, teacher called. All of the students stopped what they were doing and walked over towards the edge of the stage. The 

teacher is right on top of the stage and she is sitting down on the edge. She introduced, "My name is Mrs. Hana or you can just call me 'Hana' and I will be your performing arts teacher. There is something I want you all to know about performing. Performing is a method of art that helps us become people other than ourselves. We can also perform to be things then regular humans. This semester, we all will do a play. It's something that I wrote and it will be a musical. I know that this is all sudden, but a production takes a lot of work and we need to use all of the time we can get.

"This is a story about two people who are very dear friends in the beginning. The girl is getting married to someone else and the boy realizes that he's always been in love with her and doesn't want to lose her to another man. He tries many times to prove his love for her and even kisses her the day before the wedding. When the 'I do's come and the boy is not there, the girl realizes herself her own feelings and says no. She runs out of the church and runs to the boy to tell her, her feelings but when she gets there, he committed suicide and died. Of her own will, she kills herself as well and dies. The story ends with both of them as angels and they see each other again. That is how the story ends."

After Hana's description of the story, Ichigo was feeling really depress about both of the main characters dying but she is also happy that they got to see each other again. Kisshu however had other thoughts of the story.

'That sounds like Ichigo's and my relationship. I'm not going to commit suicide on her wedding day, am I?'

"Now then!" Hana declared. She picked up the pile of booklets in her hands and she started passing out the story to her students; all 24 of them. The story is called, 'Friendship and Love.' Ichigo went all dreamy with the title and Kisshu was starting to get sick to his stomach.

"I need all of you to sit down in the audience and when I call two names, I want you to come up and I'll ask you what pages to read. I will ask different people to read different scenes so don't start memorizing lines while some of the students are up here. First up is Suzuku Niwa and Hikaru Higurashi!" she called. A boy and a girl got up and walked to the stage. They both faced Hana and she asked, "I need you to do page 23, please." Both of the students up there went to that page as some of the others in the audience went to that page to fallow along. Kisshu decided to be one of those people to get a better idea of the story but Ichigo, however isn't one of those. She still had a mission to accomplish.

While Hana was watching the two act in front of her and taking notes on them, Ichigo was trying to sneak her way towards Kisshu. He was about six rows away from her and she needed to close that space without disturbing the class.

'Okay, I'll go one row at a time. When I get to a row, I'll sit down at a chair and wait a bit. When things are looking good, I'll go to the next row. Perfect!' she planned.

Ichigo sat at the last chair on the row and she started going to the next row. Things were still calm and no one noticed so she decided to go up the next row. She slowly, carefully got up and walked backwards towards the next row. She sat down on the last chair and waited. Things were still calm and Hana called for another pair to come up. Since it was neither Ichigo nor Kisshu, she moved on closer towards him in the rows. Then she did something clumsy when she was only two rows away from him. She tripped over her own feet, but only after Hana told the other pair that they were done.

"Ahhh!" she let out a soft yelp. Kisshu heard that and rushed over to her. Hana heard her as well and turned around towards the audience to see them.

"You okay?" Kisshu asked her when he was by her side. He offered his hand to her and she accepted it.

She got up and said, "Yeah, I'm okay. I just lost my balance a little, Kisshu."

"You two know each other?" Hana asked getting their attention, as well as the whole class. Both Ichigo and Kisshu nodded and Hana smiled. "Splendid! You two come up and bring your booklets."

Both Kisshu and Ichigo asked, "Uh?"

"I'm asking you two to come up to the stage," Hana explained. She seemed to have a lot of patience.

Ichigo and Kisshu panicked. "I can't act!" they both said. They looked at each other in confusion to that.

"I'll be the judge of that, you two. Now come on! Up we go," Hana told them in a softer tone then they expected. Since they didn't have a choice, they both got on stage with their booklets in hand. "Now, what are your names?" she asked.

"Ichigo Momomiya."

"Kisshu Takahiro."

Hana checked for the names and found them. "Okay, I want you two to play the role of the two main characters on page 54." Both of them had a 'you got to be kidding me' face, but they went to the page without argue or a scene. The page is actually a beginning of the scene; the scene of the boy kissing the girl. They both had to blush at that.

The main boy's name is Elliot and the main girl's name is Zoey (I know that they are from Mew Mew Power but it was either that or Roul and Christine. Besides, I like those names. They're unique). Both Kisshu and Ichigo gulped at the scene before they got ready.

Zoey: Can you believe it? I'm getting married tomorrow! I'm so excited I don't think I'll sleep tonight!

Elliot: Chuckle Well we can't have that now, can we? You're going to need your sleep for tomorrow.

Zoey: Elliot! Thanks for the dinner tonight. That was the best duck I ever tasted. How do you know what Chinese restaurant serve good food?

Elliot: I have my ways and I know how much you love Chinese cuisine.

Zoey: Oh yeah. Michal took me to so many Italian places that I almost forgot that I like Chinese.

Elliot: surprise You mean…he took you to restaurants that serve your least favorite cuisine?

Zoey: I actually like Italian now. There are times when you have to start getting used to the garlic and the pesto, right?

Elliot: Talk about a big change. I'm starting to miss the girl that I used to call vampire all the time. (Both Kisshu and Ichigo were a bit uncomfortable with that word)

Zoey: Elliot! But I guess I shouldn't blame you.

Elliot: What do you mean? (Kisshu started reading a little ahead to see what happens next)

Zoey: Well I want to change so that I could be perfect for Michal.

Elliot: You mean that you can't be yourself in front of him?

Zoey: No. When I met him, I was so nervous and he was so open with me that he told me what he didn't like in women. Every detail he made fit me perfectly. I'm changing for him because the day I met him, he has become my everything and there is no one else who I want to be with.

Elliot: But what if there was someone who actually loves you for you?

Zoey: Elliot? What are you saying?

(To both the class and Ichigo's surprise, Kisshu kissed Ichigo full on the lips. The class was in speechless shock and Hana was just amazed. Ichigo's eyes were wide from the kiss and soon Kisshu broke it. On his next line, he didn't look at the booklet)

Elliot: I love you, Zoey. You and I have been friends since we were babes. After I heard that you got married, I heard my heart break into a million pieces. I tried to push the thought away but after hearing that he's changing you, I can't hold it back any longer. I don't want you to pretend to be someone you're not for him and I don't want to lose you like that. I love you for you, Zoey. I always have and I always will.

(Ichigo stared at Kisshu wide eyed and he realized what he did)

"Sorry," he apologized. "I guess this story got to me. It's really a good story, Mrs. Hana." Ichigo turned red and looked at the ground. Her heart was pounding at a million miles.

Mrs, Hana said, "Thank you, Kisshu. I think you both did enough. You can sit down now." Ichigo ran off the stage.

"Ichigo!" Kisshu called, but she just kept on running. Her heart was beating too fast. Kisshu just stood there, hurt and sorry.

'Why? Why did he kiss me? And that line! He didn't even look at the booklet when that line came on. What was that?' Ichigo wondered as she kept on running. She just kept on running and running until she was outside of the school. She stopped and tried to breath for a bit.

'What if what Pudding said is true? What if he still does love me? But I love Masaya and him alone! I don't have to change anything for him! Nothing! Nothing at…all.' Ichigo looked down at the ground in a more softer expression.

Flash Back 1

"And when he wakes up, it's going to be glorious!" Kisshu yelled in pure joy. He teleported from the top of the streetlight to behind her. "Soon this planet will belong to us," he told her.

Ichigo turned towards him, her weapon ready and she yelled, "No!" He teleported again to behind her.

He grabbed her wrists and said, "You're as feisty as usual, I see. But of course, that's partly why I like you."

"AAAHHH!" she screamed. His hands moved from her wrist to a wrapping around her from behind.

"Don't worry," he assured. "I'll save you, because you're something special." He brought her closer towards him and he confessed, "I love you, Ichigo. I'll take you with me to paradise."

End of Flash Back 1

Ichigo could still hear her heart beating as the memories of her past replayed in her head as if it was only yesterday.

Flash Back 2

"Darn it!" Kisshu cursed as he jumped on Ichigo. His hands were on her neck and he started squeezing her.

"Stop it!" Ichigo cried.

Kisshu got more upset by the second and Ichigo was struggling to get him off of her. He's too strong for her. "Darn it! Just listen to me for a one second."

"No! Ouch!"

"Why can't you just do what I want?! Look at me! Forget about him! Why? Why do you have to be in love with him?!"

The hold on her neck weakened and Ichigo was able to breathing again. She took a few deep breathes to get some air in her lungs and a drop of salt water landed on her face. She opened her eyes to see Kisshu crying over her. More tears fell down and Ichigo was just surprised to see him like this.

"You love him so much and I love you so much."

'Kisshu…' Ichigo thought in surprised from his tears.

"What am I supposed to do to win you over?" Slowly, he got off her and Ichigo sat up, never letting her eyes leave Kisshu's face as he continued, " What can I do? How can I make you mine? How can I…make you love me?"

End of Flash Back 2

Ichigo's heart still pounded at her memories. The more she hears them or see them, her heart would pound even harder and faster.

Flash Back 3

"It seems we have one cat left." Deep Blue said, noticing Ichigo as the only Mew Mew standing before him. Ichigo froze up in fear and Kisshu gasped in surprised.

Worrying about her safety, he flew down towards them. "Please!! Wait, Master Deep Blue!" he pleaded. "Let me take care of Ichigo, please!!"

"Kisshu!" Pai and Taruto called. All three of them were still in the air while Pai had his arms under Kisshu's arms, holding him back and Taruto was in front of him, just in case.

"What are you doing to Master Deep Blue?!" Pai asked.

Kisshu tried to struggle away but Pai's grip was too strong. He yelled to Deep Blue again, "Ichigo is different! She is…"

End of Flash Back 3

After that memory, Ichigo still stared down at the ground. 'Why? Why does he have to be in love with me?'

"That's it! I'm not dealing with shit!"

'Uh?'

Before Ichigo could turned around, she felt a big pain on her tail. 'Wait! Tail?!'

"Meeeeooooowwwwww!" she cried.

Surprised, her mystery stepper yelled, "What the hell?!"

He fell backwards and landed on his butt. Ichigo looked behind her and the first thing she noticed was a black tail that's attached to her body. On the black tail is also a dark pink ribbon with a big bell on it. She fallowed the tail to her body and all she could see is black fur. She looked at her hands, or paws and then she touched her head. It was soft and fuzzy. She has a pink little nose, whiskers, and black cat ears.

She screamed in her mind, 'Nooooooooo!! I'm a cat again!! But how?!'

"Ow, damn it! What was that?"

Ichigo looked behind her again and she saw her mystery stepper; Kisshu. He rubbed the back of his head and looked up. He noticed the little black cat in front of him and he had a questionable look on.

"A cat?" he asked.

'Kisshu!' Ichigo thought in pure joy. 'Maybe he can help me!'

Kisshu offered his hand towards the little cat and she walked towards him. She sniffed his hand and then licked it. He picked her up by the neck and yelled, "Watch where you're going, cat!"

'Excuse me?'

Kisshu still held her up by the neck and Ichigo was hissing at him. 'You stupid idiot! I just licked his hand and he grabs me by the neck! He's nothing at all like Masaya! He would have held me and kiss me to turn me back! Wait! Kiss? I have to kiss Kisshu to turn back to normal?'

Soon Kisshu's hard, angry expressions soften a bit and he brought the small cat close to his body. He held it and Ichigo was fuming red. "Sorry, kitty. I guess, I'm just too upset at the moment."

'Why?'

"Meow?" Ichigo let out.

Almost like he's talking to her, he soft grinned at the cat and answered, "It's a long story, kitty cat. You think you have time to listen?" Ichigo nodded, a bit curious.

Kisshu smiled again and got up with Ichigo's in one arm. He walked away from the school with Ichigo. As they were walking, Ichigo was trying to find different ways to tell Kisshu who she is and how to change her back. She also debating on whether she should kiss him or just run off to find Ryou and kiss him.

"Here you go."

'Uh? Was the walk that short?' Ichigo wondered as she was placed down on the grass ground. She looked around and there is grass fields, cement sidewalks, and humans walking around. 'We're at the park?'

"Awwww! This feels so good!" Ichigo looked to her left and Kisshu was lying down on the grass under the tree for shade. "Finally! It's so good to get out of that class! There is no sticken way I could play Elliot's role!"

'What?! He got the lead? Wait! If he got the lead boy from that act with me, does that mean that I end up with the lead girl? Do I have to kiss him? Hold on! I didn't sound that good. Kisshu just has to kiss someone else! Can I deal with that?' Ichigo wondered. She shook her head in disagreement. Of course she could handle Kisshu kissing another girl. It's not that hard…is it?

"I hope she's not mad," Kisshu trailed off. Ichigo looked back at Kisshu with a questionable glance.

"Meow?"

Kisshu looked up at the black cat and answered, "It's this human girl that I like." Under that black fur, Ichigo was blushing. She knew that he was talking about her. "There's this human girl that I guess you humans call 'have a crush on' but it's more than that. She loves someone else so I let her be but I was just recently reminded of my feelings for her. We did this little skit thing of a boy kissing this girl because they're best friends and he loves her too. Apparently the boy hears that the girl is changing for her fiancée, but he doesn't want that so he kisses her and tells her that he loves her for her. I did what the scrip asked. I kissed her and all she did was stare at me. After that she ran when we could leave. Few more people went up to audition but that teacher goes quick! She told me that I was going to get the part and I stormed out of there because I was 'sick'. Then I accidently sat on your tail. Sorry, kitty cat."

Ichigo shook her head again and sweetly, "Meow." She was trying to tell him that it was okay. He smiled at her, like he knew what she was saying, and petted her head. Ichigo purred in delight. His fingers went from scratching her head to behind her ears and then her chin. She really enjoyed the feeling; making her completely forgets about turning back to a human.

When Kisshu went to the cat's neck, he noticed something on her. It was a red ribbon with a bell on it. He kept scratching her and he examined more of that's on her neck. He had n hand still scratching under the cat's chin and his other decided to explore her neck. At the end of the neck, his finger tips touched something really cold. He fallowed the cold item to the open and it was a silver chain. His fingers still fallowed the chain and then they found a ring; a silver ring with blue gems.

"Ichigo?" he called. She didn't hear him at first because she was too busy enjoying the feeling of Kisshu petting her. Since he understood that, he stopped petting her and asked, "Are you…Ichigo?" That was when the cat came back to her senses. Ichigo nodded her head and Kisshu became nearly speechless. He took a minute before he exploded.

"What the heck!!" he yelled. Ichigo, literally had to cover her ears from the loud outburst as he continued. "How are you a cat again? It's been five years! Oh god I stepped on your tail! Are you okay? Sorry I kissed you! Wait! You heard that, already! Oh god, I said that in front of you! How are we going to get you back to normal? How did you turn into a cat? It's still not possible!" He was still freaking out after that and Ichigo was getting annoyed.

Ignoring his excited statements, Ichigo walked over towards Kisshu and scratch his hand. "Ow!" he whined at that. Ichigo gulped and got prepared. She got on his lap and that got his attention. "Ichigo?" he asked, but she didn't say anything.

She put one paw on his chest and got closer to his face. Soon enough, her lips lightly touched his and her whole body glowed. Instead of a small black cat on his lap, there is a girl with red hair, dark red eyes, a school uniform, a collar, and a necklace with a ring on it. Kisshu just stared in amazement from both the kiss and the transformation that was just played in front of him. (I know this is almost like what happened in book five, but I always imagined Kisshu being the one to get kissed like that instead of Masaya.)

"So…That's how you turn back to normal?" Kisshu asked in surprised. Ichigo looked down and she was beet red. Even though she loves Masaya, after what she heard, what he did, and what's she done, she got embarrassed for kissing Kisshu. He's the one who usually gives her kisses.

Ichigo nodded her head and looked up. "Listen Kisshu! There is something I need to tell you! I'm sorry for how I acted to you when you asked me of where I went every night and I'm sorry for how I interrupted you when you were trying to tell me something." Kisshu still had that shocked expression as Ichigo picked up his hand and started rubbing the area where she scratched him. "I'm also sorry for this scratch, but you wouldn't calm down for me to…kiss you." She sounded like she was choking the word out when she mentioned it. He understood completely.

He placed on hand on her head and stared petting it like she was a cat again and he leaned his forehead on hers. "I should apologize for that. I was just freaking out because I told you a lot of things I wasn't exactly ready to tell you yet." She nodded her head this time.

"I understand." They were like that for a while. To Kisshu, being that close to her was like heaven on earth. To Ichigo, it felt like being comforted by a friend. She allowed it to last a little bit longer before she asked.

"Uh, Kisshu," she called.

He looked down at her and asked, "Yes?"

"What exactly were you going to tell me before I told you about what Masaya gave me?"
