Yea! I'm back!!! Sorry, I haven't updated in a while. I forgot to say this in my last chapter, but we had our freshmen class trip, so that's why I haven't been updating! We have a class trip every year and I never miss them! So, it won't take this long to update very often, and for those who actually care, I had a blast...

Also, I can't believe how many reviews I got while I was gone! I read each and everyone one of them and they made me so happy! I wasn't expecting it, since I wasn't getting that many earlier. For those who asked me questions, I'll have the answers at the end! Thank you so much!! T.T

Thanks again and please keep reading and reviewing!

And now, Chapter 6!!!! (Finally...)

----------

"Kish! What are you doing here?!" She stood in front of him, motionless, "I thought you...I mean...aren't you supposed to be 'happy' about Masaya and me?" She felt like running out of the cafe, but she knew that would be very rude (or stupid for that matter).

He stood up and hovered toward her, "It's been a long time hasn't it, don't worry, my little kitten, I know all about how that ungrateful Masaya left you for England," he put his hand on her cheek and put his face close to hers, "but don't worry, I'm here now, so you won't ever have to be alone again."

Ichigo pushed herself away from him, stumbling backward in the process. She glared at Ryou, "I wonder where you heard about that." She looked back at Kish, "Kish, I think you misunderstood, but Masay didn't leave me," she pulled herself back up keeping her distance from Kish, "he's just studying. He wants to learn more about endangered animals. He'll be back for me soon, and everything will be back to normal, besides, I have Ryou and my other friends to keep me company."

Kish shook his head, "Now Ichigo, you know that denial will just make things harder, you have to accept the facts here." He began to approach her once again, "Now why don't you come with me, I know a great way to cheer you up." He winked at her causing a chill to go up her spine.

"I'm serious Kish, Masaya and I are still together, and that's not gonna change." The two had forgotten all about Ryou who was enjoying the show in his chair where Kish was previously sitting. Ichigo sighed seeing as it was useless trying to explain these things to Kish, "Listen Kish, I really like you," Ichigo quickly continued before giving Kish the wrong idea of what she just said, "as a friend that is, but nothing like that is gonna happen between us. Do you understand?"

Kish laughed, "What's wrong Ichigo?" He lifted her chin, "That's right, we never had the time to make out before I left this planet. Why don't we finish where we left off." He closed his eyes as he moved closer to her face, but before he could reach her lips, a shoe hit him in the back of his head." He turned around angrily to face Ryou, "What the hell was that for?" He rubbed a bump on his head.

Ryou just sat there as if nothing happenned, "Oops. Must have slipped out of my hand. I can be so klumsy at times." He snickered making Kish even more angry than he already was.

Kish waved his fist at him, "Why don't you leave and give Ichigo and me some alone time! There's some things we want to do before I have to leave again!"

Ryou stood up, "Did you not here her! She's not interested in you, so why don't you just go back to your planet and leave her, and the rest of us alone!"

"You're the one who should leave her alone, she's not anymore interested in you than she is in me!" This caused Ryou to blush and look away making it all the more fun for Kish, "Oh...I see...so you do like her, so it's not just this so called 'friendship' that you like to call it."

Ichigo, who was also blushing, joined back into the argument, "What the hell are you talking about Kish?! Ryou and I are just friends!"

Kish smirked, "I don't think your 'friend' feels the same way." He could see the redness in Ryou's face from the corner of his eye, "Isn't that right now, Ryou?"

"Shut up! You don't know anything about me!" He marched his way toward Kish, "I shouldn't have let you in here if I knew you were going to bother everyone!"

"It wasn't my idea to come back here," Kish turned his back to Ryou, "I just figured that while I was here, I'd have a little bit of fun with Ichigo." He directed a smile toward Ichigo. She pretended she didn't see, but she wasn't very good at it.

"Then who's idea was it?" Ryou asked.

A loud crash was heard in the kitchen which made everyone jump, "Tar-Tar!!" The little alien fell out the door of the kitchen with Purin following on top of him, "Tart! What are you doing here?! I missed you so much! I knew you'd come back to see me! She squeezed him hard causing his face to turn blue!"

"Take it easy Purin!" Tart pulled his way free and took a deep breath, "I didn't come back to see you! I...I just wanted to get some more candy!"

Kish flew in between the two, "Don't lie Tart. Just a minute ago, you said that you wanted to see the little monkey girl after the promise you made to her before we left. How sweet of you." He snickered.

Tart pushed him away, "You stay out of this Kish! No one asked you!"

Purin jumped on top of Tart and began squeezing him again, "So you really did come back to see me! How sweet! I knew you would, I knew you liked me too!"

Tart blushed, "What do you mean 'I like you too'! No one ever said that! I just wanted to keep my word, that's all. I never break promises!"

Kish rolled his eyes and left the two young ones alone. He flew back to Ichigo who was now trying to sneak out of the cafe, "I know how much this will disappoint you honey, but I'll have to go for now. Don't worry though, I'll be back very soon." He blew her a kiss and then disappeared.

Ichigo sank into the nearest chair and sighed, "Thank God he's gone! I thought he would never leave!" She looked over at the forgotten Ryou who was staring at her blankly, "What's wrong? Why are you giving me that look?"

He shrugged, "No reason, just watching to see if anything else interesting happens."

Keiichiro then walked into the room with a smile on his face, "There you are Ichigo, I was looking for you." He walked to her, "I drove by the airport on my way here. Guess who I saw?"

Ichigo blinked, "Who?"

"Masaya of course! I guess he decided to come back early and surprise you. If so, then don't tell him that I told you cause I'll feel really bad if I'm right."

Ichigo jumped up out of her chair with a huge smile on her face, "Masaya is back, but it's so early!" She grabbed her coat, "I can't wait to see him, I'll head over to his house immediately!" She ran out the door, hitting a table and two chairs on her way out.

Ryou's eyes lowered to the ground. He tried to hide his disappointment from Ichigo who was to excited to notice anyone else at the time.

Keiichiro noticed how upset Ryou was and walked to him after Ichigo had left. He put his hand on Ryou's shoulder, "Maybe...I shouldn't have said anything?"

Ryou closed his eyes and put his hands behind his head. He began to walk up the stairs to his room, "It's fine. I don't care, I'm totally over her."

Everyone knew he was lying, even Tart and Purin who had ceased what they were doing to watch what was going on.

Ryou watched the happy Ichigo as she ran through the park with a big smile on her face. Ryou couldn't help but smile also, "I love it when she's happy." She finally disappeared from his sight and he fell onto his bed, "I wonder if she'd be that happy if it were me coming home from a long trip." He banged his head against a wall, "What am I thinking? Why should I care!" He laughed, "I'm such an idiot, I can't even compare myself to a guy like Masaya."

Purin popped out from under the bed, "Big brother?"

Ryou jumped up in surprise, "Purin?! How did you get in here?!" His face turned red, "Did you hear..."

Purin started jumping up and down, "You love Ichigo! I knew it! How sad, it's just like the movies!" She stopped and put her face near Ryou's, "Are you jealous of Masaya?"

"I don't know what you're talking about! I don't love Ichigo! You misunderstood!" Ryou pushed her out the door, "Now, go play with Tart and keep your mouth shut about anything you heard from me just now!" He slammed the door behind her. "Maybe I should stop speaking out loud." He took a picture of her out of a box he had hidden in his closet. The picture was of Ichigo yelling at him about overworking her. He put the picture in the box and put it back in the closet where it would remain hidden.

"She's a tough one isn't she?"

Ryou jumped up once again, "Who's there?"

Kish appeared in a corner of the room, "I knew you loved her! You're not very good at hiding it!"

"Why are you still here, get out of my room!" Ryou shouted.

Kish laughed, "Don't get angry, it's not like I didn't already know!" He sighed, "It's really too bad though. It seems that we're both stuck with this hopeless love for her. Don't worry though, in no time, she'll be running into my arms." At that, he disappeared once again.

Ryou began searching his room just to be sure that their weren't anymore unwanted guests before he rested in his bed, "Like that'll ever happen. Kish is a bigger idiot than I am." He closed his eyes, "As long as Ichigo is happy, that's all that matters, right?" At least that's what he had fooled himself into thinking.

Ichigo ran down the street as if she had endless amounts of energy. The smile on her face grew as she caught sight of Masaya's house. Before knocking the door, she fixed her hair and adjusted her skirt. She knocked on the door, "Masaya? Are you here?!" There was no answer. She knocked again, but this time the door opened. She hesitated at first, but managed to take a step inside, "Masaya! I'm coming in!" She took off her shoes and started toward his room. She heard a voice behind the door, "That's Masaya's voice," she thought to herself, "he finally is back!" She slowly opened the door, but what she saw caused her eyes to grow in shock, "M-Masaya?"
