Maysia,pudding,lettuce,mint and zakoro had'nt found ichigo anywhere.They seperated at night and went home fretting and worring in bed about where ichigo could be.In the morning mint called Ichigo's house to find she had'nt come home yet.It was useless there was no clue,no trace.The five of them had gotten together early morning.There hair was a mess and there were dark circles under there eyes from no sleep.

"lets go tell ryou and kechiro about this maybe they know something we don't"zaukoro said.

"good idea!"pudding chimed."ryou always knows what to do".

when they got to the cafe and told them.Ryou sat on the couch hands over his eyes and asked them questions.It did'nt help in the slighest.Ryou finally looked up his eyes hooded with concern and worry."i just...i don't know what to do but i think...it may have something to do with ichigo being fused with a wild cat and or the aliens"he glanced nervously at maysia to see if he was angry.After all maysia was an alien too.An alien born and raised on earth and did'nt know about him being an alien till last year.Maysia though nodded seriously in agreement.

"kish would'nt harm ichigo you know that"lettuce said clearly

"maybe not kish maybe anthor alien."

"but how do we find that out!"mint said frustradly.

"maybe kish can help us i'm sure that he would help it being ichigo and all"

"yes,but how do we contact him!"

"oh,thats ones easy"ryou said quickly."all you have to do is..."he grabbed the labtop on the desk and typed quickly into it.Minutes later a picture of kish came on the screen."how'd you do that?"zuakoro said anstonished.Maysia just looked grimly at the screen.Ryou slowly moved the mouse towards the CONTACT button.LOADING...the computer said.LOADING 90...93...98... COMPLETED.

"now we wait"ryou said quietly and interlocked his long fingers.The other's were'nt quite as patient they shuffled,whispered,and moved round amind angry glares of ryou."when's he gonna get here?"pudding said hopping around."yes i am getting sick of waiting."

"as am i"lettuce said quietly.Before Ryou could answer a brillant flash of light crossed the room.They were blinded for a few seconds until the light went away,blinking away the specs of light and there stood kish.He had grown in a year.He was taller,stronger looking and he cut his black hair short but under the high jawed face of a stranger the michiveous eyes were the same.His clothes had changed to.Instead of the outfit he had been wearing all last year he now wore a long black shirt with a blue pants."hey.."kish said"you called ?"he grinned.The others looked uncomfartbly around they did'nt want to tell kish what had happened but they had to.Unaware of the unhappy faces around him he talked on."sorry i did'nt come sooner guys...i was going to come next month."

"kish,Ryou said sadly,there's something we have to tell you..."

"what?"and where's ichigo?"

"that's what were talking about...she disappeared yesterday."
