Recap Chapter 9: "What I mean.." said Ichigo.. "Is that the one I love Is Kish..."

Chapter 10: Negotiations

"What do you mean you love Kish?" barked Masaya, starting to get crazy. He took a step forward as she took a step back in fear. "What Ichigo means is that she found out who she really loves.. And that person she really loves is me."

They turned to the new voice coming from behind Ichigo. Ichigo gasped softly as she saw Kish. "Kish!" He smiled. "So, Ichigo is that really true? Do you really love me?"

Everything around them seemed somewhat oblivious, all there was was Kish and Ichigo. "Yeah." Ichigo blushed. "You haunt my every dream and lifetime fantasies, all I can think about is you.. I realised, when I left.. How much I really do love and miss you Kish.. You're the one for me.." Ichigo happily ran over to Kish who picked her up and swung her round to the other side; so their backs faced Masaya. "I'm really glad that you've chosen me.. All those years of heart ache, and then finally this.. You don't know how happy you've made me today." Both pulled in for a passionate kiss.

Masaya watched in utter horror as they passionately made out in front of him.. "HEY!" He shouted and huffed angrily.. But to no avail. The couple continued and all that was happening was that Masaya was blowing hot air. He scoffed and angrily stomped off.

Kish and Ichigo broke for some more air, and she laid her head upon Kish's chest. They looked towards the lake that sparkled a dazzling cerulean blue in the sunlight. "You don't know how happy you've made me today," repeated Kish with a sigh. "What made you change your mind?" he asked.

Ichigo looked up to him, and looked out. "I missed you when I left, and for some reason, you were all I could think of... And I found Masaya to not treat things seriously. As well, he wasn't a passionate as you.. I started to wonder if he really liked me anymore.. He didn't seem like someone you could completely depend on to be there and help you out when you're down or in trouble.. He wasn't as mature.. He's just not like you Kish... It was you that I wanted." Kish pulled in for a quick kiss, and they smiled.

Ichigo sighed. "What's wrong?" asked Kish, confused.

"I have to tell the others about this.. It's going to be tough.. But I'll try and get through to them!" Ichigo smiled and began to walk away. Kish stood there.. Ichigo motioned for him to follow, and hesitantly, Kish jogged to meet up with her....

Ichigo stepped into the Café kitchen, where the Mew Mews along with, Ryou and Keiichiro stood waiting anxiously, while a sneering Masaya stood leaning against the wall, a dark look upon his face.

"Ichigo," began Keiichiro, of hesitant on what he was about to say.

"What Keiichiro means to say," cut in Minto. "Is, are you really... Did you really choose Kish over Masaya? Have you broken up with the guy for Kish?"

Ichigo took a deep breather, then spoke. "Yes."

"WHAT??" Shouted everybody simultaneously. "Why Ichigo? I thought you loved Masaya! I mean, you did go through a whole lot of trouble to save him.." said Lettuce confused.. "ARE YOU CRAZY ICHIGO?? Next thing we know, you said you 'accidentally' had sex with him, and got pregnant!!" shouted Minto while tearing at her hair.

"This is the most foolish thing you've decided Ichigo.. You might end up regretting it," replied Zakuro in a dangerous voice. Kish, who was in another room nearly jumped up to go and slit the girl's throat for saying such a thing.. But he managed to restrain himself.

"You could be in deep danger with Kish around," said Ryou.

"You don't understand! Kish will protect me! I love him! He loves me! Why must you deny our relationship??" asked Ichigo, tears filling her eyes.

Keiichiro sighed. "We only want to make sure you are safe."

"na no da!" chimed in Pudding.

"But I AM safe around him! I FEEL safe around him. While the aliens ignored me, he took to my needs, and made sure I was safe on our journey to retrieve the Crystal Life. He promised to be there for me always.. AND HE WILL!" Said Ichigo, confidence in her open stance. The others sighed in defeat.

"He's staying with me," as if on cue, Kish strolled into the room. His nose twitched as he cold sense the tension within the air.

"Yes, I promised Ichigo that I would always protect her, because I love her.."

"YOU AREN'T IN LOVE WITH ICHIGO!" cut in Masaya. "You are infatuated with her, you've been so since day one! You probably just want her as your whore." Kish growled, and was stopped by Ichigo when he almost pounced on Masaya. "Unlike you, I KNOW of Ichigo's worth's."

Masaya snorted. He turned to Ichigo. "You're making a big mistake, and you know that you'll end up regretting it, just remember that there's an alternate choice." He strolled out of the empty café, a dark look upon his face.. "Oh, she'll regret it very much..."

Everybody stood silent for a while.. unknowing of what to say or do. Kish cleared his throat, and looked to the men. "I would like to speak to Ryou and Keiichiro on some important matters."

Both guys narrowed their eyes, then nodded their heads. "You guys can go home, or hang around, whatever you want, we just need to take care of business," waved Kish, and the Mew Mews slowly walked out, each one casting a glare or a nervous glance at Kish before leaving. "I'll be out here waiting for you," said Ichigo as she walked out with a smile.

Kish sat upon a table and looked to the two older guys.

"Well?" asked Keiichiro impatiently, "What is it you want?"

"What I want?" repeated Kish. "What I want, is to make, negotiations..."

Well here it is! KishxIchigo and some fluff! YAY! But this isn't the end.. I apologize if Masaya seems somewhat OOC. Just to let you all know.. They will be around 17 chapters or so.. And the pairings shall be, KishxIchigo, PaixLettuce, and PuddingxTart.. I'll explain more on the whole PaixLettuce pairing in a later chapter.. Please read and review to tell me what you think!
