You Are Not Alone
By: Mew Ami
Chapter Fourteen: There is a Way!
An: Minasan konnichi wa! In Japanese it means hello everyone! Thank you so much for your reviews and now it's time to answer questions again!
Kisshu: The first question is from Tsubame Sakura. She writes is it possible for an alien and human together? (a.k.a what would the children look like?)
An: Yes it is possible for them to have kids. It's like two people who have different skin color having a child. It all depends on genetics. For those who haven't took biology genetics is your genes that you receive from your parents. The child will either have alien ears or humans ears depending on what is dominate and recessive. The skin color, eyes, and type of nails (if you haven't notice Kisshu's nails look like claws) also depends on dominate and recessive genes. Hopefully that answers your question. Next one please!
Kisshu: The second question is from CrushedUnderLove. Will Ichigo get her pendant back?
An: Yes she will. She needs it to help Kisshu to save his planet. (hint) (hint.) By the way I love your icon on your profile! Yay Kisshu and Ichigo!
The next morning sunlight hits through Ichigo's bedroom window and moves across her bed. It hits Kisshu in the face and he awakens in bed. He isn't too please about this. He looks around Ichigo's room in a daze. Kisshu feels like yesterday was all a dream, but in his heart he knows it was real.
Kisshu eventually gets out his daze and notices Ichigo is not in the room. He sits up and stretches his arms. He then gets out bed and heads over to the door. Kisshu opens it and leaves her room.
Once he's downstairs, he smells something coming from the kitchen. The smell is unfamiliar to him, but he knows it's something good. He walks into the room and sees Ichigo in front of stove.
Kisshu notices her holding some kind of item in her hand. It's flat at the top and has a long handle she's holding with her hand. She uses it to stack the food on top of others on a plate. He wonders if this morning food that humans eat. Kisshu knows nothing about the types of food you should eat at the certain times of the day. Ever since him, Taruto, and Pai got here they took what they could find because none of them wanted to cook. Also on his planet you take what you are given and try to make it last for long time.
Ichigo doesn't know Kisshu is in the room. She keeps making more and more of the food while she's humming a joyful tone.
Kisshu smiles at this. She's always so cute in whatever she does. He hates to end this, but he has no choice. "Ichigo?"
She jumps a little from hearing her name being called. She's surprise that he's out of bed early because he had such a horrible day yesterday. Ichigo turns around and smiles at him. "What?"
"What are you doing?" he asks her.
"Making pancakes," she answers him.
"Pancakes?" In his mind he imagines a cake shape like a pan.
"Yeah, just sit down over there and they'll be ready in a minute," she says and points to a counter that's in the middle of the kitchen. There are some stools placed on both sides of it and Kisshu walks up to one that's facing the door and sits down.
"How are you feeling today?" he asks.
"I feel hundred percent better. My colds are like hell, but they only last for a few days," she answers him cheerfully.
Kisshu smiles a little. He's glad she's okay, but that's not enough to cheer him up fully. He's still upset about his mother being hurt, but not as much as yesterday. Kisshu looks down at the table and tears start to fill his eyes. Then suddenly he feels something warm on his head. He looks up and sees Ichigo standing there on the other side of the counter patting him on his head with her hand.
"Don't worry everything will be fine," she says and places the plate with big stack of pancakes on it in front of him. She then gives him a warm smile.
Kisshu somewhat returns the smile and picks up the fork next to him. He cuts the pancakes with the side of the sliver wear and takes a bite of it. His taste buds make him feel like he just entered heaven. He has never tasted something so good before in his entire life.
"Do you like?" asks Ichigo
"Yeah."
"Well, it tastes better with maple syrup."
"Maple syrup?"
"Yep." She hands him the bottle that's it in.
Kisshu grabs hold of it with his hand, but is confuse what to do. He's unsure how to open the bottle and make that sticky substance leave it.
Ichigo giggles and takes it back. She pops opens the top of the bottle. Then she pours the syrup on top of the pancakes.
He once again cuts the food with his fork and takes a bit of it. The maple syrup makes the pancakes taste even more heavenly than last time. Eating all these foods makes him wish that he was born a human.
After breakfast, Ichigo cleans the dishes and Kisshu just sits there watching her. He wonders is she should be at school since she isn't sick anymore.
"Kisshu?" asks the cat girl.
"Yeah?"
"How are you feeling today? Do your wounds still hurt?" Ichigo is very worry about him.
"Well, my wounds hurt just a little, but I can move around more without damaging it anymore. The only reason they started opening up again is because I carried you home and you were heavy," he answers.
"So I'm heavy?"
"Uhhh No! I'm still weak so when ever I left something it seems heavy to me," he says in panic voice. He's trying to save himself, but is failing terribly.
"So I'm something?"
"No!"
Ichigo just laughs at him and turns around from the sink. She walks over to the other side of the counter and faces him. She rubs his hair with her hand. "You're so cute when you freak out like that."
Kisshu turns away from her and begins to pout. Although, he's happy that she called him cute.
"So are you done with the dishes?" he asks her later on.
"Yeah. Umm Kisshu?"
"What is it?"
"Are you still upset about yesterday?" she asks him softly. She's kind of afraid what he'll say to her.
"A little, but you're making me feel better. Why does it matter?" he asks her.
"Because I want to know if you're up to searching for my pendant. I need it defend myself and help you save your planet."
"Ichigo…" he says very quietly. Back when she said she would help he was happy, but now hearing about his mother being injure he's worry that same thing will happen to her.
"Yeah?"
"I don't want you to get hurt," he says.
"Don't worry I'm a tough girl. I can handle anything besides I know a way to save your home."
Kisshu's eyes light up and he says, "You do?"
"Yep. The idea came to me this morning when I woke up," she answers him happily.
"What is it?"
"I'll tell you after we get my pendant. So let's go," she answers and begins to walk out of the kitchen.
"Wait!" he says.
She stops and turns to look at him. "What?"
"Don't you have school?"
"Kisshu, I think saving an entire race is more important than school," says the cat girl.
"Um right…," he says embarrassed.
Then they leave her house to go look for her mew mew pendant. As they walk to the forest they weren't realizing that they were being watch from the shadows and in the sky.
Once Ichigo and Kisshu enter the forest, they run towards the stream. Lucky for them it hasn't frozen up yet which gives them to chance to find it. Both of them walk up and down it looking into the water. Sometimes Kisshu sticks his hands in it since he's use to icy cold things while Ichigo isn't.
They been searching for hours and there's no trace of it anywhere. Ichigo and Kisshu want to call it quits for the day, but they are scared someone will happen to find it.
"Ichigo, the sun is going down maybe should look for your pendant tomorrow," Kisshu says at last.
"I guess your right."
"Is what you are looking for?" asks a familiar voice from behind them.
They turn around and shock to see Taruto standing there. He has Ichigo's pendant twirling around on top of his finger. The little alien has a smirk on his face and throws it to Ichigo.
She catches it, but is confuse why he gave back to her. Keeping her pendant would have been a great plan to get her out of the way.
"Taruto, what are you doing here? Is Pai with you?" asks Kisshu who is also puzzled why he gave the pendant back to Ichigo.
"I'm alone," he answers. "And I want to help."
Ichigo and Kisshu look at each other. Ichigo is still confused, but on the other hand Kisshu isn't anymore. He knows the reason why the midget acting liked this. Ever since the monkey girl starting to like him Taruto is having a change at heart.
"So can I?" he asks.
"Of course," answers Kisshu.
"We want to help too," says two voices from the behind.
