Wow, I haven't updated in ages. Sorry peep! Start of a new school year so took me a while to get organised again. Anyway here is the next chapter, only a few more chapters left after this.
Kish: She does not own TMM or any of its characters.
I do however own Scarlet!
Scarlet: ...

As Ichigo hummed to herself she served two customers.
"Here's your order." she said happily as she placed their food on the table.
"Ichigo?"
Ichigo turned her head to see Mint at the table next to her ready to take someone's order.
(GASP! Mint is working! OMG! Call the FBI! It's the end of the world! Pigs can fly! Aghhhh!)
"Yeah Mint?" she asked.
"Can you go get my drink of specialised perfume?" she asked.
Ichigo frowned, "Why do you need perfume?"
"I've been working for tow hours." she stated as if it was obvious.
Ichigo sighed, "Fine..."
Walking down to the changing rooms she quickly found Mint's perfume in her coat pocket. Turning to the door she was about to walk out when something caught her eye, walking over to her coat she found a piece of ribbon hanging out of it and onto the floor.
Pulling at it she found a piece of paper attached to it, "Huh..." she murmurred unfolding it and reading the writing on it.
To My Dear Kitten,
If you really want to know what happened between us the other day then meet me in the park at 6.00pm. If you tell anyone else about this I won't show up.
Stay cute, your lover Kish.
Ichigo's eyes widened and she quickly let it fall to the floor.
"Kish." she murmurred.
Clenching her fists she glared at the opposite wall as it was him, "Fine then, I'll play it his way." she muttered.
Picking up the piece of paper she quickly threw it in a bin and then walked out of the changing room to give Mint her perfume.
Over the next few hours Ichigo kept glancing up at the clock waiting for 6.00 pm to come, she finished work just before then so she could get there in time.
When it finally did reach it she didn't bother getting changed, "I'm going then!" she cried to her friends with a smile before walking out.
As soon as she was out of the café her smile faltered and she sighed, "Guess I better get this over with." she murmurred.

Mint watched as she vanished and looked over to Ryou, "Hey what's wrong with Ichigo?"
Ryou shrugged.
"I noticed something different with her today aswell." Lettuce stated.
"She kept glancing up at the clock too." Pudding added.
Keiichiro paused, "I wonder what's wrong with her."
"Could it be to do with Kish?" Zakuro asked.
They all exchanged glances.

Ichigo sat on a bench in the park nervously, she now regretted not changing. Knowing the pervert that Kisshu was he would obviously make a remark.
Another thing that worried her was the fact that Kisshu would most likely ask something from her as repayment for telling her what happened.
A chill swept through her spine, what had they done? Had they kissed? Had they...
Her eyes widened, "Oh my god! What if we did it!" she put both her hands on her cheeks, "Dad will kill me! And Masaya! Argh!" she cried.
"Hello kitten."
Ichigo froze and turning her head found Kisshu leaning against a tree smiling, Ichigo frowned and stood up.
"I came." she stated.
He nodded and walked till he was a few feet away from her, "You came." he confirmed.
There was a long silence and after a while Ichigo let out a frustrated sigh, "Just tell me already Kisshu!"
Kisshu smirked, Oh no...
"On one condition." he said.
"What?" she said, "Want me to kiss you? Want me to hug you? Sleep with you, marry you, what!?" she cried getting worked up.
Kisshu seemed surprised by her outburst but continued on, suddenly he brought out three tubes from his pocket. Each tube contained a pink liquid.
"Two of these tubes contains water and food dye." he stated, "The other contains the love potion, want I want you to do is choose one to drink and if you choose one of the two that are water I'll tell you."
Ichigo's eyes widened and she took a step back, "No way!" she cried back.
Kisshu smiled slyly, "Don't you want to know what we got up too?"
Ichigo bit her bottom lip for a moment, as Kisshu smirked she frowned and replied, "Oh well."
Kisshu stopped smirking, "Huh?"
Ichigo smiled, "I don't really care about what we did as it was probably nothing, I'm not risking this to know that."
Kisshu seemed mortified.
Ichigo smiled, "Ciao!" she said.
Walking forward she passed him however as soon as she was a few metres away he spoke.
"How about if I left you?"
Ichigo turned her head, "Huh?" she asked, turning fully around she waited for him to say more, "What do you mean?"
Kisshu turned fully around, "How about if this. If you pick one of the two tubes that hold the water and not the potion I'll promise to not bother you any more aswell as telling you what happened."
"And... if I pick the potion?" she asked.
Kisshu shrugged, "Well the outcome depends on who you see first."
Ichigo paused, if she did this Kisshu would leave her forever... No more unexpected visits, stolen kisses, interruptions between her and Masaya.
"I..." she murmured, looking at him in the eyes she said, "I—"
--
"Don't believe this!" Mint cried.
All the mews and Ryou and Keiichiro were in the changing rooms, they had come into here to see if they could find any clues as to Ichigo's strange behaviour. Mint had discovered a piece of paper in the bin.
As the others read it, they too became shocked.
"Oh no!" Lettuce cried.
"That baka strawberry." Ryou cursed.
"What do we do?" Pudding asked.
"I suggest we go over there quickly before anything else happens." Zakuro stated.
They all nodded their heads and quickly ran out of the room.
--
Ichigo carefully glanced at each of the three tubes, each of them had a liquid of the same colour and no matter how hard she looked she couldn't see any difference between them. Biting her lip she decided to guess and choose with a childish rhyme.
Hip, dip, do, cat's got the flue.
Dog's got the spots and so have you!
1, 2, 3, I choose you!
With each syllable she pronounced, she pointed to a different tube. On the last syllable which was 'you' she found herself pointing to the left tube.
Sighing she took it from Kisshu's grasp and took the cap off, taking one glance at Kisshu she then placed it to her lips.
Here goes...

Right the next chapter will probably be the last, if not there will be no more than one after that. Oh and that little rhyme is something from my primary school, I don't own it in any way. Please review!
