Kissu Kisshu: Sorry I'm a lil late in updating, but a lot of things were going on this weekend. I got to pet a Zebra! XDOne of my friends and I got to go to a ranch with lots of exotic animals. They had Tigers, lions and Cerval Cats there, too. Anyways... enough with that...

KatanaFoX: Sorry about being a lil late in updating, but now that I'm out of school, I should hopefully update more often. Unless I find a job. ;-;

Tiqua: Yeah, I know what ya mean. Not many do except anonymous reviews, but I think that's mostly because they of them not realizing that you have to edit the options for those reviews. (Holds up Kish/Ichigo banner) I totally agree with ya on this couple!

Chapter 3

"Why me!" (Part 2)

Kisshu finally calmed down and no longer was he acting like a maniac... well, no more than usual at least. A love sick smile was plastered across his face, enervating everyone below.

"He could be like this for hours, Mew Ichigo... and you look tired," Makoto noted.

"Ye-ah, you do," Rei begun. "Maybe you should come by my shrine and rest for a while. We could keep an eye out for anyone with tails or ears for you."

"Really?" Ichigo questioned. "Thanks, but what if they're in their human forms... so they won't attract attention?"

"Oh? So you have human forms?" Makoto asked.

"Yeah. We're all normal humans... just infused with endangered animal genes."

"As normal as it gets, huh? Though I'd like to meet your friends some time... buuut, you do need some rest so I'll call mine and Makoto's friends and tell them to keep an eye out for anyone that look at a lost, okay?"

Ichigo shyly smiled and nodded her head. Makoto agreed to lead her to the shrine while Rei called all the other girls. Just as Ichigo turned to walk after Makoto, the cat girl felt two arms place themselves firmly around her waist. Before realizing what was going on, Kisshu had given Ichigo a kiss on the cheek.

"Waaaaaah! Ki-Ki-Ki.., " Ichigo stuttered before Kisshu moved his right hand up to her chin, pulling her face closer.

"What's the matter, Koneko-chan? I didn't startle you, did I?" Kisshu asked seductively.

"Wha-what do you want now!"

"You wouldn't leave me alone would ja?" Kisshu asked, jokingly, snuggling his face into Ichigo's hair, causing her to shiver.

"O-oh? And w-why wouldn't I?" Ichigo questioned nervously. Feeling Kisshu's left hand moving up, she quickly grabbed it, allowing it to progress no further.

"Aww!" Disappointed, Kisshu sighed for a moment before replying to Ichigo's question. "Without me... you may never be able to return home."

"Wha! No! How can I believe you would really take us all home?"

Kisshu smiled naughtily and whispered into Ichigo's ear, "What else can you do?"

"Thanks for the ice cream, na no da!" Pudding smiled, shoving two cones into her mouth. She, Usagi, and Minako were now sitting on the sidewalk, though even more hyper from having the sugar.

"You're very welcome!" Usagi stated cheerfully. "You can have ice cream with us anytime.

"By the way... what happened to your cranky friend?" Minako asked Pudding. The monkey girl pointed over towards a bench. "I don't see her."

"Look under the bench, na no da!"

"What's she doing under there?" Usagi asked, now eating another ice cream.

"Pudding doesn't know, na no da!"

"Im... ma... ture... BRATS!" Mint sighed heavily, now looking up. "Why am I under a bench?" Mint crawled out from underneath the bench. She didn't want to put herself below commoners. "They're... finally... still."

"You wanna play more, Usagi onee-chan... Minako onee-chan?" Pudding asked.

"NNNOOOOOO!" Mint shouted as she grabbed a hold of the young girl. "We're going to start looking for onee-sama and the others! GOT IT!"

"You wanna play, too, Mint onee-chan, na no da?"

She doesn't get it! Darn kids! Think happy thoughts... think happy thoughts.

Trying to be as persuasive as possible, Mint replied, "No, but I would like to get home. Wouldn't you?"

"Yeah, I guess so, na no da. I do have my siblings who need me."

Finally! "So how about you say goodbye to your new friends and lets find the rest of the Mew Mews?"

"O-kay, na no da," Pudding sighed.

(Beep... beep... beep)

"What's that?" Mint asked.

"What's what?" Minako inquired.

"That beeping sound."

"I don't know."

"Hey! It's a sign to get more ice cream!" Usagi shouted.

"YAY!" Pudding smiled. "More ice cream, na no da!"

"Hey, wait! Don't you think you've had enough sugar!" Mint exclaimed.

"You can never have too much sugar," Minako said.

"So true!" Usagi and Pudding yelled in unison before running off again.

"Not aaagaaiinnnn," Mint cried. "Why, why, why me!"

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Pai questioned Lettuce.

"Uh... it's... uh," Lettuce stuttered.

"If you have something of importance to say, then say it."

"Yes! Sorry! It's just... you weren't around our battle when we were transported, right? Sooo, I was just wondering how you got here. Is there another way in and out of this world?"

"Not easily," Pai replied. "I had a feeling that Kisshu would mess something up so I had harnessed some of the energy from the transport Kirema Anima, but only enough to transport myself and possible Tart, but I told him to stay in our original dimension in case we were enable to find a way out. Is that all?"

"So you're planning on using Yusouki to transport yourself as well as Kisshu back, right?" Zakuro asked.

Pai turned back around and nodded his head. "Though I am half way tempted to leave Kisshu here... but the Kirema Anima is a different story."

"That's funny!" Chibi Usa laughed. "You two must be close if you joke around like that!"

Pai looked over towards the young pink haired girl and replied blankly, "Who said I was joking?"

Chibi Usa and Ami slowly inched a way from the purple haired alien. He was quite frightening to them.

(Beep... beep... beep)

"Huh? Oh hi Rei. Is something the matter?" Ami asked, now talking into her communicator. "Someone with fuzzy ears or tails?" Ami looked over at Lettuce and Zakuro. They seem to fit the description pretty well... especially the wolf-girl. I guess that creepy guy is one of them, too. "I think I have a couple of them here, Rei... Ichigo? Kiss guy? What!"

"What was that?" Zakuro hastily asked.

"Do you know anyone by the name of Ichigo and/or Kiss guy?

Lettuce ran over to Ami with hopeful eyes. "Where's Ichigo? Is she's stuck with Kisshu!"

"Rei? Looks like we found some. I'll be right over as soon as possible. Bye," Ami ended before looking back up at Lettuce. "It seems so... Rei just stated that she had instructed Makoto to take your friends to Rei's shrine. I'll take you there and we can introduce ourselves on the way."

"Yay! More animal people!" Chibi Usa yelped; running over to Zakuro, smiling.

"What?" Zakuro asked.

"Can I feel your ears?"

"No..."

"Pretty, pretty please?"

"No!"

"Aww... I'll give you a doggy toy!"

Who is this kid? "I'm not a dog."

"Chibi Usa! Leave the dog girl alone," Ami scolded.

"What the!" Zakuro thought out loud; almost falling over. Lettuce giggled in the background while Pai, though quiet, also thought it was quite funny, but still, he refused to show any sign of a sense of humor. "Lets just go..."

"Hey! Mint onee-chan!" Pudding shouted in a hyper and happy voice.

"WHAT!" Mint snapped. She was laying on the sidewalk with her eyes closed.

"Look what Usagi onee-chan bought for you, na no da!"

"Huh?" Mint raised her head up and noticed Pudding holding a cup of, what seemed to be, tea. "Is... is that what I think it is?"

"You like tea, right?" Usagi asked, walking up beside Pudding; Minako right behind her.

"Pudding said you liked this stuff," Minako added.

Sitting up, Mint graciously took the cup of tea and thanked the three girls. Mint was shocked on how good the tea was. It had a nice strong flavor.

"Do you like it?" Usagi asked hopefully.

"Yeah.. it's great..."

"Zakuro onee-chan and Lettuce onee-chan!" Pudding interrupted.

"Are you serious!" Mint practically screamed.

"Yeah! Lookie!"

Pudding pointed behind Mint. Zakuro, Lettuce, Pai, Ami, and Chibi Usa were walking down the street. Mint quickly darted up, not spilling her tea, and quickly ran towards Zakuro; crying.

"Onee-sama!"

Hearing this, Zakuro's huge wolf ears twitched and she looked down the street. Mint almost running into her. "Onee-sama! I'm so glad you're here. I was afraid that I wasn't going to see you again."

"Mint?" Zakuro said, surprised. Pudding ran up behind the blue haired, bird girl and smiled. Most of the team was back together again. Usagi and Minako looked a little confused, but now that the sugar high was wearing off, Ami filled them in on what was going on.

"Oh, really? They're from another dimension?" Usagi asked, scratching her head.

"Didn't Rei call you?" Ami asked.

"Call?" Uh-oh, I guess that was what that beeping sound was... oops.

"Yeah, I think she tried," Minako stated. Usagi quickly put her hands over Minako's mouth and whispered to Minako.

"Ssshh, they don't need to know that."

"What did you say?" Chibi Usa asked.

"Uh, nothing! It's getting late, so how about we get going, kaaaay?"

"Fine, but I think you're hiding something."

"Thanks for the help Mamoru. Bye," Rei said into her communicator. "Maybe I'll wait here for the other girls. They should be here..."

"Now!" Usagi interrupted.

"Aah! Don't do that! What are you trying to do? Give me a heart attack?"

"No, but since you asked..."

"Quit fighting you two!" Ami said. "This is not the time."

"She started it!" Rei and Usagi shouted at the same time; pointing and sticking their tongues out at each other, though they quickly changed their expressions before sliding the shrine door open. Makoto greeted them on entrance.

"Wow, there sure are a lot of you, huh?" Makoto stated while stirring some batter.

"Uh, Makoto? What are you doing?" Rei asked.

"Sorry, I hope you don't mind, but since you were going to have so many guests, I thought they would like some cookies... oh and I let Ichigo take a shower, too. She should be about done."

"Sure... but... where's Kisshu?"

The room went silent for a moment; Makoto had stopped stirring her batter, her eyes wide when suddenly they heard a scream come from where Ichigo was.

"He wouldn't!"

"He would," Mint stated.

All the girls ran back to the bathroom and swung the door open. Pai stayed in the front room. Ichigo was standing on the far left with a pink towel tightly wrapped around herself; eyes wide as saucers and drown down with anger and embarrassment. Her face solid red. Kisshu,who was only a few feet away, was rubbing his sore cheek that had a bright red hand print on it.

"Oww, why'dja hit me?" Kisshu whined. "I didn't see anything."

"That's because I slapped you, you pervert! Don't I get any privacy!" Ichigo asked, annoyed, before noticing the other Mew Mews standing in the door way. "Uh! Hi guys!"

"Hey..," they all replied; shocked. She didn't need any help after all.

"You want me to beat him up for ya?" Makoto asked, walking inside the room with her fist clenched. "Or do you think you can handle him?"

"I see where this is going," Kisshu sighed. He teleported out of the room and moved to the roof of the shrine. Ichigo quickly finished getting dressed and met up with the other girls, and Pai, in the front room. She looked around for a moment and noticed something was missing... then it hit her.

"Guys! Where's Shirogane-san! Wait! Why's Pai here, too, nyaaaaa!"

Ryou, not moving, stared at the Kirema Anima; it, too, not moving. I wonder if it can see me. Ryou questioned himself. Geez, how did I get stuck with this thing? Why me!
