Piece's of Love

By Hilary Gentry

Piece Two,

Zakuro was thinking of nothing but the gray haired alien. In their last encounter Pai explained that the reason he didn't trust anyone was because of past experience. His words where have much more of an impact then she had anticipated. That had been awhile ago too! She wanted to talk to him but he was no where to be seen. Zakuro let out another sigh as she gazed out the window of the Tokyo mew mew café. The rain hammered against the glass pains effectively announcing the wolf girl's inner turmoil.

The other mew mews watched Zakuro's out of character actions with interest. This was not the Zakuro that they knew. That Zakuro was always proud, strong and rarely showed any emotion. Not like Pie shielded his emotions. When Pie did it his eyes looked lifeless and unreal. Zakuro filled her eyes with fake emotion, things that really didn't interest her would most likely earn a really fake smile. But what they where seeing now was raw emotion. The real thing. It was so very different that you would have to be either blind or dead not to notice it. Mint had a sinking feeling that she knew what was going on in her idol's mind. They shared that same composure when Mint found out that Zakuro didn't want to join their group. Everyone else was totally clueless to the change of Zakuro.

"Zakuro? Are you sick or something?" Ichigo asked timidly. Zakuro jumped at the voice and turned abruptly to face the thing that was disrupting her peace.

"What are you thinking about?" the over excited Pudding asked. Zakuro turned back to the window and sighed.

"Um Zakuro? Is there something wrong?" Lettuce asked in a small voice. Zakuro shook here head dismissing the question. Ichigo puffed up here cheeks then tapped Zakuro on the shoulder gaining her attention again.

"It's rude to not look at a person while talking to them!" Ichigo exclaimed. Zakuro stood towering over Ichigo.

"Did you ever hear me say anything?" Zakuro asked passing by her then paused. "Ichigo?"

"What?" She snapped.

"When was the last time you saw Kish?" Zakuro asked. A scarlet blush covered her cheeks and she spat out, "Why?"

"When was the last time you saw Kish?" Zakuro repeated.

"Last night" Ichigo said her blush deepening.

"Then you'll see him soon?" Ichigo nodded. "When you see him tell him I want to talk to Pai" Everyone had little question marks pop over their heads.

"Why?" Ichigo asked blankly.

"I wish to converse with him. Oh yah, and tell him to bring that book of his." Zakuro said turning to walk out of the café. Leaving them still wondering what in the world was going on.

"She thinks she can just walk out of here?" Ichigo muttered. They finished cleaning up for the day, said their good-byes, and then started the walk home.

Ichigo had indeed been meeting with Kish. They had been steadily got closer over the last month and believe it or not Ichigo had slowly been drifting apart from Masaya. That was all fine and dandy because Masaya decided that Ichigo and himself would be better off friends anyway. Last Ichigo heard Masaya just recently got a new girl friend and Ichigo was ok with it. Ichigo had her own new love interest, Kish.

Ichigo strolled down the street slowly with no real intention of going home. Kish was supposed to meet her at six at the park again. If you go at the right time you'll get to see the fireflies light up for the evening. Kish had a habit of taking her to high places to show her things that proved that sometimes life really isn't all that bad. He had this way about him that made Ichigo want to smile a huge smile and give him a big hug that lasted forever. That's the only way to describe it. He just made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. She just didn't know what she would do with out him. Explode maybe. Maybe. Best not think about it, 'cause Kish promised that they would be together forever. And Ichigo was planning to hold him to that. Ichigo looked down at her watch. 6:10. 6:10!

"Oh my god I'm late!" Ichigo cried breaking in to a run. She turned right, left and right again. There was a fence surrounding the park on the side she was on. She jumped the fence then continued sprinting towards that part of the park that Kish and she had claimed their own. She looked around franticly. "Kish! Kish! Where are you?" she called panting slightly.

"Hush my kitten, I'm right here" Kish said soothingly. His molten gold eyes appeared up in a tree above her he jumped down a smirk gracing his perfect features. "Miss me lovely?" he asked. Ichigo smiled brightly and caught him in a hug.

"Of course!" He blinked a few times then hugged her back.

"Where were you?" Kish asked there was worry in his eyes. "You're late"

"Sorry, I got off work late" she said, snuggling her head deeper into his chest.

"Never mind lets go," He said enthusiastically. He teleported them both a little further into the park. They arrived in the middle of a clearing. It was full of long grass and a tree every once in a while. The environment was untouched by anything, but wind and the natural course of nature. He sat her down on his lap and rapped his arms around her. His long green hair fell over his shoulders and came to intertwine with Ichigo's red hair. He rested his head on hers and they watched as the small lights started to rise from the ground. They danced around the couple with grace a ballerina would envy. Two yellow orbs landed on Kish's arm. He picked them up and cupped them in his hands. He placed his slightly glowing hands in front of Ichigo. She placed her smaller hands on his and opened them. Both fireflies left Kish's hands and moved to Ichigo's. They walked around then when nothing caught there fancy, they joined the others in there complicated dance. Ichigo let out a puff of air and fell back into Kish's welcoming embrace.

"Pretty" Ichigo whispered. The alien smiled and started stroking her hair. "I don't know what I did to deserve you, but what ever it is… it's got to be, to be pretty, pretty big" Ichigo said yawning. Kish gave Ichigo a soft kiss on the forehead, trying desperately to tell her that right then he was holding his little piece of heaven.

"I know I've told you this before but, I love you Ichigo" He said to his angel.

"Ki-kish?" Ichigo yawned.

"Yes?"

"Zakuro, wanna see Pai… some book…can you, you tell him?" she said trying her best to stay conscious. "Please?"

"Sure I'll tell him, you can rest now" Kish said pulling her in to what he hoped to be a more comfortable position. "Sleep, I'll watch over you" she smiled.

"Thank you" she said closing her eyes and shifting so her body fit into his. "You're.. the best" Ichigo murmured falling into a deep sleep.

End of Piece Two,
